Chapter Text
The world was created in just a moment, flashing with white, green and blue colors as three players appeared on spawn, facing different directions.
They were speedrunners and friends, speedrunning buddies, even, but that wasn't the case today. Today they were rivals. They were racing each other to the end.
Hax grinned, looking confident as ever. He could already see his line - he only needed to get to the village faster. PVP was allowed, so.. he could do that pretty easily.
Mongey sighed. He was against that bullshit ass practice idea from the moment Hax had proposed it. And Rowl was against that as well, until Hax bribed him with a promise to play Squaredle. So, the majority of votes wasn't on Mongey's side, what made him join the seed.
Rowl looked around, stretching his arms and adjusting the flower crown on his head. He could already see where both Hax and Mongey were going to run, so, considering his low PVP skill, he decided to give up on village. Well, among three of them, he was the most familiar with no reset, so he was hoping he could do.. at least not bad.
— Are you two ready? - asked Hax, one always impatient creature, who was hungry for the win.
— Ermm... Yea, - Rowl nodded, going into f5 in order to find something helpful that wasn't a village.
— I think so.
— Okay, who's doing the countdown? - Hax winked in Rowl's direction. Rowl rolled his eyes.
— Not me, - instantly refused Mongey. He didn't like Hax's action at all. What was even going on in that frozen head of that stupid ass snowman?
— Mongey is doing it, - he felt a hand on his shoulder and scoffed, looking up. Rowl was grinning - he knew that Mongey's funny factor wouldn't let him refuse - and Hax's smile was wider than ever. Those two idiots.
— I can't count! - whined Mongey, although he knew he had already lost.
— Start from three, Mongey. You know three, right? - Hax was trying not to laugh so hard that Mongey himself had to stop his giggles. Only Rowl managed to stay calm, even though he was also barely holding his laughter.
— I know up to fifteen, - Mongey proudly pointed out.
— That's perfect! So, start from three, - Hax turned around to both face the village and not let others see him trying not to laugh. Not like that worked, though.
— When go I stop? At one?
— At zero, Mongey, at zero, - answered Hax, definitely laughing. Rowl chuckled.
— At zero??? Fuuuck, okay, - Mongey deeply exhaled. - Three. Two? One. Zero.
The same second he said the last word, everyone started running. Mongey and Hax went to the village, whereas Rowl disappeared in the forest. Mongey's eyes traced his white turtleneck via f5.
He shouldn't had done that, he realised as he was hit in the shoulder, what forced him to lose his sprint.
— You're playing dirty! - he yelled at Hax, who boldly turned around and stuck out his tongue. Mongey had never before wanted for a ravine with a lava at the bottom to appear in front of Hax more than now.
Sadly, the universe hated him and his stupid mongey life, so his wish hadn't came true. Instead, Hax had pretty big lead entering the village. Mongey was almost thinking about giving up and going somewhere else, but.. he was simply too stubborn.
The village turned out to be pretty good - it had not just one, but two blacksmiths, which, to Mongey's great sorrow, Hac had already looted, getting his favourite toy from one of them, with help of which he quickly sent Mongey back to spawn with a short message in chat.

Rowl chuckled, looking at chat. That was exactly what he expected to happen. Now he had to get somewhere further away, so the bloodthirsty snowman wouldn't come for his soul too. Luckily, the ocean, which he had seen from the spawn, was really close now, and even a bt spike appeared on his comm. The life wasn't all that bad.
The spawn was better than most of his spawns in hardcore no reset.
Seems, Hax's luck was working quite well.

Rowl smiled, proud of himself. He was the first one in the nether after getting ten iron from the bt chest.
The ocean was always the best choice in no reset, and everyone knew that. He was simply lucky that others hadn't seen the ocean, too tunnel visioned on the village.
Rowl turned on f3 and sighed with relief. The bastion was close, and he hoped he could get there faster than others would enter the nether. He wasn't really fond of fighting, since he wasn't good at that, so ender pearls could significantly help with that.

Hax grinned, relieved to finally be in the nether. And even though he spent way too long looking for a lava pool, both on the surface and in the cave, he still entered less than twenty seconds after Rowl, whose decision not to play village and instead run in unknown direction had upset Hax greatly. For a sole reason of not being able to kill him.
He quickly checked his e-counter and started going to the bastion. He wasn't far from spawn, and hoped Rowl wasn't either, so he could actually catch him and-

Hax looked at the message with frustration and almost fell in the ravine with lava on the bottom, barely block clutching on the side of it. Understood. No looking at chat without checking his surroundings first. But he's Hax. He was definitely going to keep doing that.

Mongey's eyes widened as he looked at the fortress, at the bottom of which he had spawned. He thought about something for a moment, before an interesting idea appeared in his head. He was going to get his revenge on Hax for killing him in overworld. And also he apologised to Rowl in his mind, because the Ukrainian was definitely going to get caught in the crossfire.

And- wow! That was a double spawner! Not when it was needed - using shield wasn't as convenient as fire res, and, remembering Mongey's previous encounters with blazes with no fire res.. yea, we shouldn't remember them.

Rowl was quickly making his way through the fortress. He knew that Mongey was in the same one - high entity count pointed that out. And.. that was a problem, he realised, as spawner disappeared from his pie. Now he just had to-
He heard the sound of ender pearl breaking and instantly turned around.

Of course. Just fucking amazing. Now he not only had to think how to remove the skin of one particular pink mongey, but also how to hide from a bloodthirsty snowman. His day couldn't get any fucking better!
— Oh, hi, Rowl, - he heard chuckling from one of the tunnels and glared there with one of his most deadly glares. - How's your speedrun going?
— I'm thinking to speedrun eating my portion of mongey meat, - dryly said Rowl, with a lava bucket appearing in his hand.
— Please don't, - Mongey took a step back, thinking how to run away.
— Hey Hax, - Rowl started talking again once he heard quiet steps from behind. - Have you already realised he broke the spawners?
— Yep! - came Hax's cheerful voice. A bed was lying comfortably in his hotbar.
— Should I run? - chuckled Mongey, knowing damn well that the other two came from either the same bastion, or even from two different ones, so both had pearls.
Still, he decided to continue his prank- they could hate him once they were home, but, in his defence, that was funny. He used his fns on the floor-

But that wasn't floor. The same tick Mongey used his fns a yellow bed appeared in front of him - a bed, definitely placed by Hax, who was just a moment away from placing a block in front of himself and surviving the explosion.
Hax immediately burst into laughter, once he had realised what had happened. The chance of that was like.. one in a million, so wow. He heard Rowl's yell "You're so fucking stupid!", whereas Mongey.. well, Mongey slammed his communicator.
— Sooooo, - started Hax, once everyone were out of denial and death screens and back at spawn. - We're all bricks.
— You mean just you, - huffed Rowl.
The spawn looked the fucking same as the last time they were there, except for two trees, which were still decaying after being destroyed by a mongey.
— Okay, I give up on this seed, I don't care, - said Hax, seed changing.
— Bro, that's not no reset.
— I don't give a fuck! The run back is going to be so bullshit!
— It wouldn't be if you hadn't just bricked out! - yelled Rowl, his voice got cut off by the wind, which was taking them to a new seed.
A new world was created.
A new spawn welcomed the runners.
