The following is a story on how a lowely miner such as Steve soon created his destiny and motives to get himself torwards the present day of "Minecraft"



Act I:

April 17th, 2150

It was a regular hectic day in Minecraftia, being the only empire on the planet of course. Steve, your ordinary, was of course trying to make a living in this city to support his family. "Welp, another day's of hard work..." said Steve staring at the rocks glimmering with a shiny white as he packed the ore into the cart. Hard labor wasn't appreciated in Minecraftia as people's mental ability always made them more superior, infact miners were looked down as tools and the lowest form of life as society has evolved so much that appreciation for labor completely disappeared. Steve heaved the minecart up the elevated hill, huffing with each step. "My pay ma'am." said Steve as he was being handed the currency, which at the time, were emeralds due to the surplus of them found. Steve walked home, collapsing on the cold wooden floor of his house as he was so exhausted from the prior trip. "Oh heavens!" said Steve's wife, Helina, as she helped him off the ground; "Francine is getting potatoes tonight." which was actually a step up from the usually carrots they could barely afford to eat. Steve was a poor miner, determined to find a way to better support his family.

Act 2:
April 20th , 2150

"Johnny, pass me that pickaxe will you?" said Steve, Johnny was a new acquaintance of Steve to join him in the mines as his small general store couldn't pay the rent. They were mining frantically to get each and every ore out of the vein before the workday was over to get the most pay. "I wouldn't mine that fast man, you may disregard some of those falling rocks" said Steve as he saw Johnny mining at a faster pace then he was. "Stop being such a wussy man, you're too paranoid that time you know that?" little did Johnny know that 1 minute later a falling rock would land right on his ankle. "AAh! The pain is excruciating, get me something!" said Jonny laying on the floor in pain. A lava vein was disturbed and it was slowly flowing towards Johnny. "Johnny! Your left" Steve jumped into action grabbing Johnny by his arms and swinging him to the right, successfully avoiding the lava. "Whoa man, you saved my flesh back there" said Johnny who was being hauled up the stairs by of course, Steve, who has built up the muscle from his countless, miserable days of mining. "I will sue these dudes man, I'll get thousands!" Steve was wondering to himself why Johnny would sue the mining company due to his own mistakes, it'll probably win in court anyway due to this poor judicial system.

Act 3:
May 3rd, 2150

"Alright, you two caused me a lot of unnecessary trouble and made me buy a lawyer for this ridiculous case" said Loman, who was the owner of the mining company and was enjoying the luxuries of his special suit which contained an A/C and heater. "Look, Bling Bling Boy, how about you leave your high chair and go experience the conditions you make us go through?" said an irritated Johnny with a cocky accent , trying his best to defend himself. The company didn't look towards getting better mining tools as they expected that the laborers would have no other choice but to mine anyway due to their lack of mental ability; it was a lose-lose situation, laborers weren't even offered an education as they couldn't afford it due to the family they were born into. And so the conversation was reduced to nothing but insult after insult resulting into both of them being fired. "Nice going, that mini-revolt of ours sure got us somewhere" said an irritated Steve walking back to his house, "Welp, hopefully I'll see you again Stevie, I mean I did screw up but you were some good mate" said Johnny. And so, both of them went their separate ways, not knowing if they would ever see each other again.

Act 4:
October 5th, 2150

"Daddy daddy, come look at the TV!" said one of Steve's daughters, Francine, Steve was now a farmer growing wheat for a living in order to get by. "Alright Francine get back into the house with your mother" said Steve who was now walking towards his run-down home, partially made of dirt. "This just in! Something scientist have evaluated as "ender" essence is now leaking into the atmosphere due to an interdenominational portal!" said the news reporter, who was now revealing an eye witness account by one of the scientist. "Well, as we all know the human race is expanding by the day and we need to expand else where, so for 30 years we've been looking for a way to create a pathway to a new dimension since traveling into the sky reveals nothing but ...more sky..for miles..." said by one of the scientist with the most expertise, Rosenherve. It was further revealed that the world was in a state of crisis as this ender essence allowed matter in dark areas to morph into terrible creatures. "Helina, what about the kids?" Helina couldn't do anything but blankly stare into Steve's eyes, likewise with Steve. "Dad, what is that crashing through the door?" Steve jerked his head to the right as he saw this green skeleton kicking down the door. "Arg!...ah......." were the last words out of Francine as an arrow hit her neck. "Francine! Helina!..You heartless monster!" Steve not realizing how correct he was as the skeleton was literally "heartless" then knocked it to the ground, killing it. Steve had no time to mourn the deaths as he had to flee from the monsters soon spawning into the world, he had to get to city.

Act 5:
October 5th, 2150

The plague has hit society with a surprise, just 3 minutes after the first airing of the news story has the monsters been spawning. "Alert! Evacuation is required! Arcs 1 and 2 are leaving in 4 hours! A ticket must be purchased for 100 emeralds" announced the city head speaker. "100 emeralds, only the wealthy could afford such a thing, this is leaving out the entire middle class!" Steve thought to himself, cringing as he imagined the masses around him hitting dead on the floor one by one. "Better go find some shelter, rain will only make the situation worse" Steve thought to himself as he towards an abandoned building in the big city, soon heading towards the basement. Steve heard rattling downstairs , followed by deep whispering. "Hello, is anyone down there?" Steve was walking downstairs as he repeated those words to get no response. "You , you there, all of the authorities are gone, I have no one to use he enhancer on!" said a strangely familiar man, Steve soon realizing it was the expert scientist, Rosenherve. "Rosenherve, what are you doing down here? Shouldn't you being finding a solution to this problem" said Steve eyeing Rosenherve. "Look kid, all of colleagues left me in an instant, I had prepared a body enhancer capable of fighting the threat but no one is here to properly use it, please for the sake of the survival of our species, use it!" Steve was willing to use the enhancer, like he had a choice, and after 1 hour had the fluid flowing through his veins. "Now hurry, one of them are form----" Rosenherve's head was stolen from him by a purple figure, which disappeared in the distance. "The hell! What is going on here, aah..wait..what?" Steve was shot by a skeleton in the head, figuring he'd die but instead actually felt himself, regenerating. "What? What kind of supernatural abilities are these?" Steve then got out of the building, evacuating the city fleeing into the plains

Act 6:
October 10th, 2150

It was the end of an era, a species, a race of one of those sentient species on the planet. The monsters were spawning so rapidly no one was able to make it out survive, it left behind mutant human like creatures who however, were far less intelligent and had deformed noses. "Hmph" Steve jerked up from the bed as he heard this voice humming into his hear. "Er, what he is trying to say is that we have found you in a 5 day coma and have been using the emeralds in your pocket to pay for the expenses" said one of the village translators. "Emeralds, is that all that is left in the memory of these creatures, they've been reduced to, emeralds?" thought Steve as not only were many of his abilities improved but his brain had the ability to make smart observations. It's been 4 hours as Steve strolled through the relatively small village, soon seeing creatures form from the lightless matter banging on villager doors. "Ah! All of you must run out of the doors now!" however all of them had blank expressions on their face and fled into their homes closing the door. "Is everyone here an idiot, don't they realize that they should flee away from the village and not into it?" that is when it hit Steve that these dudes were truly, pure idiots.

Act 7 (The Final Act)
October 11th, 2150

Steve had fought through waves upon waves of zombies, endermen, and creepers. Steve now had the knowledge to craft tools, however primitive tools made from wood and stone as Steve didn't have knowledge of how to craft more complex things. "My family, my mate, my job, all gone" Steve repeatedly thought to himself walking down into a blank, empty terrain. "Why have you done this to me! You took away my family! I will end your kind!" Steve was shouting into a blank enderman who shortly teleported away, back to his dimension. Steve then broke down into tears and hit the ground, thinking about all of the good he could of done to try and save humanity. Steve's only motive driving him to end the enderman species was his family's death, he was destine to avenge him. And that my friends, is the depressing story of Steve, who suffered tragedy on top of tragedy, now he had this on his shoulders; defeat the enderdragon.
