Chapter 12: Minecraft is magic

The Elder was shocked to see her Google search result.

[Minecraft is a magical game! ]

It was her first internet search result, and it was a post on a site called Reddit.

[Minecraft is a magical game! ]

[Hi guys, this is my first time posting something on the /games subreddit. Last night I was bored and started looking for some livestreams to kill my boredom, but honestly I was pretty tired of just watching people play shooting games, or war games with Captain America.

Seriously, do you only play games like this until today?

Anyway, while I was looking for something fun to watch, I saw a livestream of someone I had never seen before. There were 1,000 people watching that live stream of a game called Minecraft. This is a game I have never seen before. Initially I thought it was another boring shooting game, but on thinking about it, the name didn't seem to fit with a shooting game, so I decided to give it a try and watched some of that livestream.

That was the best thing I did on my night! The livestream was from a player named "NedTheKing", which at first I thought was just a random egocentric player, but upon entering the game, I saw a square character building a castle with his bare hands! That man had my respect, he always said that his dream was to be a king, so in that game he had the freedom to build a castle and fulfill the little dream he had, something that moved me a little.

But what really surprised me is that I initially thought what I was seeing was some kind of CGI, or a game cutscene, but no, during castle construction, that square character was interacting with the chat, sometimes even even showing things that other people asked, like an interactive movie.

This got my attention a lot, so I decided to send a chat message asking if he had anything else besides the castle, and to my surprise, he answered my question by climbing the highest tower of the castle and turning the camera away from the wall... Guys, the man had built a giant farm with several animals, while telling us that it was to feed the people of his kingdom!

I asked where the people of his kingdom were and he told me he would buy the server so people could join when the castle was ready.

I was kind of confused by this, as I didn't know how he would make these people go to such a magical world.

Until he got a bit tired of building and went into [Multiplayer ] mode. There was a giant city there with hundreds of other people! All were gamblers who laughed and had fun while chatting and playing in the Lobby.

Minecraft is magic! I just purchased the game and hope to participate in this magic with other players too. ]

Upon finishing reading this great post, the Elder was alarmed. If she claimed to be the second most powerful magic user on earth, no one would have the courage to claim to be the first.

So seeing that these people were apparently going to another dimension left her alarmed, as she believed that even she could not do something like this with so many people and give them so much freedom.

Curious, the Crone searched for "NedTheKing" on google and found Ned's Twitch page, who luckily was Online now playing Minecraft.

Looking at the number of spectators, the Elder was surprised, there were 1.4k people watching him playing this game, and the spectators were slowly rising, which meant that in a few hours it would be an even larger number.

Looking at the live stream screen, she saw a small square man running in a square abandoned city.

This little man held a stone ax as he opened a chest and began to laugh.

"Guys, I managed to find a diamond sword! We're going to win this game!" Ned celebrated as people in the Chat cheered with him, saying he was very lucky and could finally enter the Ranking.

The sword was Translucent Blue, which made it very beautiful and exquisite.

After watching the sword, Ned ran to a place in the center of the map while looking at a compass and following the direction the compass was pointing.

After three minutes he found another little square man, but this last one apparently had worse armor than Ned, and was much more tired than Ned, with the armor even having some flaws.

"Looks like he fought someone else recently, it's just the two of us left, this is our chance!" Ned said excitedly to the chat as he ran to the tired man.

The man didn't notice Ned until it was too late. Ned's sword pierced the man making him blink red, but no blood came out. This was a game measure to show that the other player took damage, but not to scare people who were afraid of blood.

The man died to Ned with a startled expression, until in front of Ned a screen appeared.

[Congratulations, player NedTheKing, you completed 37 wins and took third place for most wins on the entire server, do you want to appear in the Ranking? ]

"Yes!" Ned said excitedly before being teleported back to the Lobby.

There were hundreds of people there, some were eating fruit and talking, others were sitting on the floor telling stories, others were advertising their own servers in the Lobby. If no one knew what this was about, they would probably think this was a peaceful city from a distant world.

But Ned didn't even pay attention to this, he quickly ran to the Villager side that sent them to Hunger Games matches and noticed that one of the villager's bodyguards had changed, it was a player in a yellow jersey with a little skin. dark, completely wearing very nice bronze armor that wasn't available in the game, and above the player's head was a name.

"It's me guys! I'm here too!" Ned yelled excitedly at his viewers, which attracted the attention of players around who looked at him in confusion, but after realizing that he had the same name as one of the Hunger Games Villager bodyguards, they soon understood that he was he had taken one of the Top 3 spots recently and was excited about it, making people come to congratulate him.

The Crone watched all this with amazement, while watching this livestream she tried to open a portal to that dimension and try to understand how it worked, but as much as she was seeing the place, she couldn't locate it at all, not even she, one of the most powerful beings in the universe couldn't understand or locate this place, as if it didn't exist.

But the Crone knew there was something else behind this game, and if she couldn't find anything about it, it only meant one thing, the person who made it was far more powerful than she was!

This statement made the Ancient One uncomfortable, but with an open mind she decided to test this game called Minecraft, for the safety of humanity.
