Chapter 14 - How did I get here? (Lucy)

Mikey and Lucy enter the quarterdeck. There seems to be a table with a chair at the back. There's a map on the table, and a chest next to the table.

Mikey and Lucy come up to the table first and look at the map.

"Is this a map of all the surrounding area?" Lucy asks.

"Yeah." Mikey answers. This must be the map that PJ mentioned in his book that he took for himself. Mikey thought to himself.

Mikey sits down on the captain's chair.

[You've became the new captain of this ship]

[Achievement Completed: Steal someone's ship]

[Reward: 35 Emerald nuggets]

Does that mean I can now control this ship as I was able to control my old ship? Mikey thinks to himself as he leaves the quarterdeck and tries speeding up the ship, it worked.

"How did you do that?" Lucy asks him.

"One of my attributes, the one that allows me to summon those soldiers and that spectral ship. Now I seem to be able to control this ship aswell." Mikey replies.

Lucy and Mikey go back in the quarterdeck and look at the treasure chest. They look at eachother and come up to it.

Mikey opens it...

[Achievement Completed: A Treasure!]

[Reward: 15 Emerald nuggets]

I keep completing achievements, why didn't I get any completitions in like the past two days until now?

There are a lot of golden coins in the chest, neither Mikey nor Lucy have any idea what's their actualy value. Along with the treasure there are two weapons in the chest aswell.

One of them looks like a dagger, the dagger looks somewhat cursed, because of its appearance. Besides the handle, the dagger seems to be made out of a completely black metal. There isn't much to note about this dagger besides the fact that it seems to be enchanted too, as it shines with purple glow.

The other weapon is a short sword that looks somewhat cursed aswell. It seems to be made out of the same metal as the dagger and is enchanted aswell.

Mikey is drawn in by the sword's presence, Lucy wants the dagger instead. They agree with eachother without having to say a single word. Mikey takes the sword and Lucy takes the dagger.

Both of the weapons are lightly glowing with purple color. Peter's Hammer was also glowing with purple. This is because of the enchantements.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

[This is your first enchanted weapon, do you want to see the tutorial on enchanted weapons?]

[YES/NO]

"Did a tutorial pop up for you aswell?" Lucy asks Mikey.

"Yeah." Mikey says as he taps on yes.

[Enchanted weapons. Once normal weapons which have been enchanted in a certain way and are now stronger than ever.

There are two ways you can enchant a weapon.

1. The classical way which you guys now about. The enchanting table method. You can simply put your weapon on an enchanting table and a certain options will pop out, asking you which enchant do you want to put on the weapon.

2. The second method however is different. These enchanted weapons can only be FOUND. They cannot be created no matter how hard you try. These weapons are enchanted differently. Their enchant doesn't grant them increased strenght or durability or anything like that. Instead it grants them a special ability which no other weapon can have.

The way you can tell apart these is by their glow. The ones with basic enchants glow with blue while the ones with abilities glow with purple.

If you want to use the abilities of your special weapons you need to get used to them first. Then you'll automatically unlock their abilities. The same as attributes]

Both the sword and the dagger are glowing purple.

"The Duskblade" is the name of the sword that Mikey is holding. Lucy's dagger is called "The Nightmare."

"Shall we keep going?" Mikey asks.

"Yeah, I was also thinking that we should stop by the closest islands to us." Lucy responds.

"Why? We have the resources that we need to get to the main continent without having to stop." He looks at Lucy.

"We might be able to find some other survivors and help them, you know?" Lucy says.

"Didn't even think of that, sure, we will stop on some islands, however I don't want to take much of a detour."

"That's fair."

(1 hour later)

Lucy and Mikey are talking in the underdeck. All of the zombies who were hiding there have dissapeared when the captain was killed.

"Wow, so the captain was your saviour all along? That sounds like some cliché from a fantasy book." Lucy says with a surprised face.

"Yeah, I never thanked him... anyways, that's all that happened since I came here, mind telling me your story?" Mikey asks.

"I would, but I am too tired. Let's leave this for tommorow yeah?" Lucy says as she lies down in the bed.

"Yeah, I am tired too, haven't slept since we got into this world."

Mikey and Lucy go to sleep. The number of players asleep reached over four hundred thousand tonight, unfortunately it still wasn't enough for the night to be skipped.

(The next morning)

Mikey wakes up and sees that Lucy isn't in the underdeck anymore. He goes upstairs and sees her looking at the sea.

"Oh, good morning. Did you sleep well?" Lucy asks as she notices Mikey.

"Good morning, yeah, I slept really well." Mikey replies. "Anyways, are you alright now? You still seem pretty injured." He adds.

"Yeah, as you probably noticed yourself, whenever I use my spells, a fraction of their power comes back at me. This is okay when I use water spells, as long as they're not too big. Or really anything as long as it's not too big of a spell. Getting a little bit burned is okay. Getting soaked is okay. Even getting cut or bruised is okay. I'll be fine don't worry about me." Lucy gives a long answer.

"If you say so... oh, that's right. I wanted you to tell me about your first days here." Mikey says.

"Oh yeah, I wanted to tell you yesterday but I was too tired. Where to start..." Lucy thinks.

"Well, I guess right from the beggining."

(First day in this world from Lucy's perspective)

I was just about to go into bed, when suddenly... I appeared in another world. How did I get here? Is this a dream? What's going on? I kept asking myself questions in the first few minutes. Are my friends here too? Hmmmm...

Eventually I decided to start exploring and find out what is happening, I realized that this is not a dream because it's just simply too realistic to be a dream.

I appeared on an island, really unlucky. There were no trees or anything like that, just a stone temple in the middle of the island.

Without having any other choice, I decided to go into the temple.

The temple is really big and has four entrances, one from each side.

Lucy comes up to the first entrance and hears growling coming out of the temple, soon a single zombie charges at her.

What's this?! A zombie?

Suddenly a health bar, hunger bar and a thirst bar appear in Lucy's vision.

...Minecraft?

Lucy starts running away from the husk and eventually kicks the zombie in the head. The zombie falls to the ground and Lucy starts beating the heck out of it until the zombie dies.

That zombie looked like a husk from Minecraft, it also didn't burn in sunlight like a husk from Minecraft would... I have a thirst bar a hunger bar and a health bar... is this the Minecraft world?
