Chapter 1: The Enemy's Rising
I was always a needy child. It always had to be my way around the house. Just put it this way; I was a mere pain in the ass. But that wasn't to say I was corrupting my relationship with my family. In fact, the trait was overlooked. Fast forward to my birthday, one of the most eventful time of the year for me. What made this birthday stand out in particular was my rapidly building interest of Minecraft. The past few months building up to this day was probably a sinkhole for most of my relatives. The birthday was small, sure. But I had received an official copy of Minecraft, and that made up most of the day for me. You could easily vision me having a rave as soon as I heard the big news. My parents got around to buying that game and setting up an account of my very own. You know very well I boasted tons over my ownership of the copy. So, what went wrong?

My friends were jerks, let's put it that way. They always had some fine technique to corrupt me into believing something, or just screwing with me in general. But that wasn't to say they were the wrong crowd. It was a Friday, and we were out at recess. We were in the field, pulling our usual shenanigans until I started to mention a word or two about my ownership of the copy. Most of my pals were congratulating me, but then one of them begins to make some big deal over what he called "entities." He claimed that Herobrine was indeed a real thing within the game, and went on to tell the legend. The rest of my friends gained inspiration of this, and began chatting about Entity 303 and Null. I was pretty gullible back then, so I took most of this inspiration to heart. They kept going on about these unnatural glitches, but one stood out the most. One began to speak about an entity named Golden Brine. Apparently, he's intended to be exactly like Herobrine, but with a few extra perks.

They then went on about some ritual to summon said entity. They chattered tons of baloney, and I was dumb enough to believe in a good chunk of it. Suddenly, one of my friends dared me to perform the ritual. The others immediately took notice of his quote, and began chanting for me to do it. I didn't think much of it, nor the consequences. So you know what? I went that day and performed the ritual. My pals gave me a sheet guiding me on how to perform it. Of course, I wasn't too surprised when I found that nothing happened, at least at first. I was actually disappointed that nothing happened. At the time, the story seemed so legitimate, I felt it HAD to be real. The more I replayed their very documentary of Golden Brine, the more I thought it was bullshit. Eventually, I laughed it off and closed of the game for a while.

It was now Saturday, and I was up playing Minecraft. I was in the same world I had performed the ritual on, but I couldn't care less of what it was. So, I was just coming home after a failed search for diamonds. My iron pickaxe was on the verge of breaking, and I didn't find much else other than coal and iron. I go to create a new pickaxe. While scrambling through my goods in a chest, I found one or two full stacks of gold ingots in my chest. Strangely enough, I did not remember mining that much gold nor smelting it. But it could've just been a coincidence, right?
