[Congratulations, you have survived the second night]
Mikey passes out of exhaustion right after receiving his message. He wakes up almost an hour later.
[Now that you're awake, I am going to give you some information about the fight which I talked about]
[A lot of you have died throughout the second night aswell. There is only 960 677 of you left. This is an odd number, which means that someone will have to fight twice. The fight will start in exactly 20 hours and 28 minutes, you will be able to see the timer in your inventory]
[If nobody dies until the timer ends, or an even number of players die, whoever is in the last place will have to fight twice. With the second fight being against the number 1 player, if the last player even survives the first fight]
[Aditionally, no monsters will spawn throughout the next night, unless it's in caves dungeons or other structures. The people who are in the last 100 will have an opportunity presented to them that might help them reach upper ranks, in order to avoid having to fight twice. Well, it all depends on how well they do]
[The format of whom will you fight: The players will get split up in two groups. The upper group and the lower group, separated at the exact middle, which in this case would be 480 338, this means that if you're 480 339th, you're already in the lower group, which is very unfortunate for you. The reason for that is, that the upper group will fight the lower group. The number 100th player in the upper group will go against 100th player in the lower geoup. The 480 339th player in the upper group, would go against the 480 339th player in the lower group and so on]
[The rules of the fight will be presented to you once the timer ends and you will get teleported in the arena]
"The monsters won't spawn? This is good, really good. I can rest for a single day atleast... And it seems that I will have to fight against someone much weaker than me, I shouldn't lose hopefully."
"But the real question is, will I have to kill them or not? Damn it!"
Mikey is stressed about the upcoming fight. It's as if he was terrified of killing another human. Well, to be fair, any human would be. But for someone like Mikey it seems unnatural as he has fought in several fight in his past.
"Shit! I have to get back to wo-" Mikey falls back on the ground right after getting back on his feet.
"Did I broke a bone?!" He shouts in agony. "Wait." He breathes heavily. "No, I definitely didn't." This is a different feeling than a broken bone, I would know that well.
Mikey had broken several bones in his life because of all the street fights he got into.

Alright, I have to get up slowly and be careful. For today, I am going to need to rest as much as possible, it's not what I initially planned, but I have no other choice.
Mikey gets up and shears the sheep that grew its wool back already, he then crafts another makeshift sail and goes into the underdeck of his ship. He attempts to combine the two sails, but it doesn't work.
"Well damn, this isn't good. But I guess I could do something else."
Mikey goes on the deck of the ship and puts the sail down. He then looks at the mast of the ship.
"Theoretically, three of these sails would be enough to fill the entire area of the mast. But I would have three small sails instead of a big one. I am not sure if that's a bad thing, but I am pretty sure that I've never seen a ship that had three sails on a single mast." I guess we will have to see. Mikey says in his mind as he gets off the ship and checks on his crops. He starts harvesting the ones which already grew up.
Mikey then returns to his ship and starts placing dirt blocks around. He then plants the wheat seeds, potatoes and carrots in those dirt blocks. The same way he would at land. He created a 5x5 area with the dirt blocks. He left the middle of the 5x5 area empty. Instead of putting a dirt block there, he poured a water bucket in there instead.
In Minecraft you're able to use sea water, ocean water or any kind of water for growing crops. The crops also don't need to be in a direct contact with the water. They have to be in a four block radius from a water source in order to stay soaked and grow the seeds inside them.
"I drank my last water bottle a few hours ago, I am really dehydrated." Mikey tries drinking the ocean water, just to realize that it IS NOT salty.
"What?! The water isn't salty? Does that mean it's drinkable? I wonder..."
After thinking for a while Mikey comes to a conclusion.
"Well, it's better to get some kind of an ocean sickness than straight up dying from dehydratation." He says as he fills up his two glass bottles with water.
The one thing that didn't ever crossed Mikey's mind while playing Minecraft was: Is the water in the oceans salty? Naturally you would think that it is, as that's how it works on Earth. But do you even know why oceans and seas are salty? It's because they somehow reached salt caves throughout the time and the salt simply combined with water. Does that mean that there are no salt caves in this world? There were no salt caves in Minecraft.
This is what Mikey was thinking about at the current moment. He never thought about asking that to himself while playing Minecraft, it's not like he could taste the water anyway, so it didn't matter whether it was salty or not. However, right now his life depended on it and he got saved, by the fact that there are probably no salt caves in this world.
Mikey spent the rest of the day resting in his bed which he put in the underdeck aswell. He didn't even cut down the trees that have already fully grown on his island because he was too exhausted and kind of forgot about them because he was in the underdeck. Mikey ended up falling asleep and woke up in the middle of the night. He felt much more refreshed but his body was still aching quite a bit. He chopped down the trees, as it doesn't require that much work with a diamond axe. Then he harvested all of his crops and led the sheep to his ship with a piece of wheat. He put the sheep in a small wooden enclosure, so that it doesn't just run around all the time and he gave it some wheat too.
In Minecraft, animals don't have to eat food in order to stay alive. But this isn't Minecraft and Mikey isn't taking any chances. Mikey spent the rest of the night by meditating and resting. A few hours later
the sun started rising and the timer had exactly eight hours left on it.
"It was morning when I woke up yesterday and the timer was at twenty hours something. It's been over twelve hours and the sun is rising again. It seems that days are significantly shorter here than in the real world. Unfortunately I can't tell by how much. Because I don't remember the exact position of sun when I looked at it yesterday morning."
