The mobs slowly aproached the seemingly unaware miner. The two prepare to strike but the miner heard the duo sneaking up behind him and swung his pick at them. The pick crashed into the zombie's head, killing him. The miner noticed that the spider had dissapeared once he had killed the zombie. "What a scaredy cat." thought the miner as he picked up the zombie's spilled XP points. The miner turned around to continue mining the seemingly unbreakable iron ore. The miner's pickaxe snapped in half from the impossible task it was given. The miner angrily turned to grab another pick from his chest. The miner yelled in suprise. The spider had returned. With no weapon or tool to defend himself he knew this may be the end. With a hiss the spider leapt and pushed the miner into the lava. The miner had died but his spirit lived on. Players occasionally report seeing him and decided to call him something. He became known as Herobrine.
