d3rL0rd3 watched as his avatar plunged into the waters, instinct kicking in to quickly surfacing to not lose any hearts. He clambered onto the nearby land of deepslate stone, his mind still a slightly muddled mess from when he backtracked right into the awaiting water below. He pulled up his chatbox to type a quick explaination as to why he fell down, despite his claims of being unfearful of whatever or whoever was pranking his game right now.
A few moments after he typed out the words, he moved to head deep into the waters once more, compelled to keep moving, much like when he was in the tunnel.
Swimming deeper into the pool of water, d3rL0rd3 found himself at a junction. With limited time to spare, he made the decision to turn to the left tunnel where he found himself in a giant cavernous room and quickly losing hearts due to the lack of oxygen.
d3rL0rd3 swam through the water again as he hoped the tunnel he took was the correct one. Once again, he arrived to a fork in the road. With some slight deliberation, he took left again. It seemed to branch out into forever, with the only thing indicating he was going anywhere was that the path kept getting narrower the further he went.
He was sincerely considering if he was swimming straight to a deadend, with only the endless blue and dark shapes of the tunnel being the only things in his sight. Then, he saw the end of the tunnel opening up into a larger area. He had finally reached his next destination.
d3rL0rd3 pushed forward into the next room, of equally vast proportions as the others. The impressive vastness of them wore off on him pretty fast, especially with all the running around he had to do because of it. While he was comfortable playing in survival, it was necessary playing in peaceful if he wanted to discover more.
He glances at the illogical cipher at the top of the large doors, before moving to the three levers infront. He hit the left lever first - immediately concluding that it was a puzzle that had to be solved using the cipher and having to hit the levers a certain number of times.
Cracking his knucles behind the screen, he fixated his view to the string of letters and typed in the chat he would need to grab a pen and paper for this one. Writing down the letters at the top of his paper - he got to work.
d3rL0rd3 knew he should be running away from this place, the book warned him to. His instincts thrumming under his skin to turn back, delete Minecraft entirely even.
But his impulse was urging him to open these doors and head deeper still.
Pushing the left door open first, he walked down the steps into yet another long tunnel, curiosity tickling his brain to keep going.
He arrived at a crossroads, something in him suggesting this may be the last lap before he discovers the truth behind this minecraft world.
After hesitation on his part, at the crossroads, he turned left.
He walked slowly through the dark tunnel, taking notice of the black unidentifiable blocks that appeared more and more as he ventured onwards.
He typed out into the chatbox his thoughts on them, apprehension lining his movements.
Eventually the stone that made up the tunnel disappeared as the black blocks overtook the entire surroundings. And after a bit more walking.
He arrived at a gate, adorned in yellow with golden gates.
