You are never alone

Hi, my name is Jackson. I am a big Minecraft fan. But recently I stopped playing it. I've been haunted by Mortiferum64. I have nightmares from him...

Sighting 1: 25 September 2019
It was a Wednesday. I had just got home from school. Another boring day. I fired up my new Windows 10 laptop, and clicked the Minecraft Icon. I had planned to play until 6pm. I decided to make a new Let's play world, so I did just that. I decided to start the recording. I did the usual things - gathered wood, built a house, crafted tools, made a door, bed, glass, chest, furnace you know the deal. A while later I decided to go on a hunt for iron in the mine I had found. Where I had been already, I saw a netherrack wall with the sign "YOUR TIME WILL END SOON". I broke the sign and replaced it with another one saying "SHUT UP UGLY" and thought to myself "Heh, whoever placed the sign will cry me a river" without thinking of the consequences. I decided to go deeper, seeing coal, even gold, yet no iron. Then I found Iron! I was overjoyed after wasting 10 minutes in coal and gold-filled mines. I mined the 4 blocks of iron, and when I broke the 4th one...He was there, his blood red eyes staring at me. I ran and ran so fast, and then...he said my name! I tried to hold my scream in. Minecraft crashed when I opened the door to my house, and the goddamn guy left a file on my Stuff folder called NOESCAPE.txt. All I saw was a gigantic wall of binary. Here it is: 01011001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01110111 01101111 01101110 00100111 01110100 00100000 01100101 01110110 01100101 01110010 00100000 01100101 01110011 01100011 01100001 01110000 01100101 00100001 00100000 01001001 00100000 01101000 01100001 01110110 01100101 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01101110 01101111 01110111 00101110 00101110 00101110 00101110 00100000 01011001 01101111 01110101 00101100 00100000 01100001 01101110 01100100 00100000 01100001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01110111 01101111 01110010 01101100 01100100 01110011 00100000 01101111 01100110 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 01110010 01110011 00101100 00100000 01110011 01101000 01100001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01000010 01010101 01010010 01001110 00100000 01001001 01001110 00100000 01010100 01001000 01000101 00100000 01000100 01000101 01010000 01010100 01001000 01010011 00100000 01001111 01000110 00100000 01010100 01001000 01000101 00100000 01001110 01000101 01010100 01001000 01000101 01010010 00100001. I decoded it and the message he had left was "You won't ever escape! I have you now.... You, and all worlds of yours, shall BURN IN THE DEPTHS OF THE NETHER!"

I was about to uninstall Minecraft when my friend Dan came online and asked me to go on his Hamachi server with him. I pretended to be in a good mood, even though I knew there was no way I would forget the fateful event....

2 hours after I joined, there was a weird message in chat. Just - a random message, saying "''You are never alone...You're always being watched......". ''I nearly peed myself, and asked my friend this:

 did you use tellraw?

 No! I don't know how to use that! I don't know how to use commands anyway!

 Oh...well I saw some weird player in my world, he was really scary.

 Oh here you go again with your lies, look, Herobrine doesn't exist. I'm going now.

After he left, I thought to myself "Why doesn't he believe me? If only he could see.."

Sighting 2: 13 October 2019
I decided to go back in the world. I had built a nice base and decorated it. I was going to open my game to LAN to get Dan to play it (we live near each other) but I heard a ghast sound while I was chatting on Discord on my phone, which scared the crap out of me and caused my phone to drop and crack its screen. I was really mad. Luckily, my dad had some replacement screens so that was fixed in 45 minutes. I came back this time putting my phone somewhere else. I went to the new mine which I had slightly changed. It was now lit up, but somehow, a Skeleton with FULL diamond armor spawned RIGHT IN MY FACE! I was unprepared and ran to the other section of the mine where I last saw the weird guy before, not aware that the skeleton was still after me. I saw a message pop up.

 Hello Jackson.

I was scared, and I dared not reply until he provoked me.

 Oh, are you scared now? That's what I expected!

Rage flowed through me at that point. I sent the most offensive message I thought of at him in all caps.

 LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE IDIOT. YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST HAUNT MY WORLDS AND SCARE ME? YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT SCUMBAG!

 I'm afraid your little trip ends here, Jackson.

I gulped, knowing he was way more powerful than me.

I saw lava pop up all around me but I managed to escape just barely. I saw that my...base....was destroyed!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!! I SPENT SO MUCH TI--

 Look who it is!

I saw him on top of the lava tower that stood where my mob farm was.

 SJDJHEFEFJSSEF WE

What the? I could've sworn I meant to type YOU WILL PAY. I tried again.

 DIEAFIESRTISRTRI T!

Ok, now this was weird. He was shutting me up. I almost raged, when I saw his blood red eyes at point-blank range. I yelled so loud in terror I literally broke the glass of water beside me. Minecraft crashed and I turned off my PC and had a panic attack. My friend Dan heard it, I guess it was that loud. He ran over to me and tried to comfort me. But there was nothing he could do. I went unconscious and woke up not long later. But now there was something on the wall. "Miserabilis!" Latin, I thought. I powered on the computer and went on Google Translate. Sure enough, it was Latin, and it translated to "Pathetic!". He was now mocking me. I swore to get revenge on him by next week.
