How did we get here?
Chapter 51 - What now?

Chapter 51 - What now?

Mikey and Miyu teleport to the Overworld and they seem to be in a snowy biome, a very cold snowy biome.

This sudden change of temperatures shocks both of them, and they start shivering right away.

The portal behind them deactivates, signalizing that the portal in the Nether has been destroyed.

Mikey and Miyu look around, they seem to be in a forest. All alone, with no other players or living creatures around.

"How far did we travel inside the Nether?" Mikey asks Miyu.

"I don't know, maybe about five kilometers?" She answers unsurely.

"One block in the Nether is eight blocks in the Overworld right?" Mikey asks.

"Yeah, but we didn't go in just one direction, keep that in mind." Miyu adds.

"True, but we are still atleast twenty kilometers away from wherever we were before that." Mikey replies.

"That's true..." Miyu confirms.

[Author's Note]

[For those who don't know, in Minecraft, there is a rule which states that one block travelled in the Nether, is equivalent to travelling eight blocks in the Overworld.

This essentially means, that if you were to create a Nether portal in the Overworld, went to the Nether, travelled one kilometer south in the Nether, created a new portal there, and went back. In the Overworld you would appear eight kilometers away from your original Nether portal]

It's too cold, way too cold. Mikey is doing his best to not shiver and tolerate the cold, while Miyu already gave up on pretending.

"We need to get out of here." Miyu says in a shaky voice.

Mikey nods and the two start aimlessly wandering around the forest.

"You know, we could create a small house or something like that." Mikey says.

"This is a spruce forest right? Is spruce good for building?" Miyu asks.

"Yeah, I am pretty sure it's the best one actually." Mikey answers.

After some thinking and looking around, they agree to build a small wooden hut.

"Now then, we need to find a way out of this biome." Miyu says while warming her hands near the fireplace which they built inside the cottage too.

"Hold on, I am messaging my friend, she could help us." Mikey replies. He is writing a message to Lucy.

The last time he tried, it wouldn't let him, but this time, it works for some reason.

In his message he briefly explains what happened in the past few days and asks Lucy a few questions, including asking her to check on him with her attribute, and if possible, showing him the way out of the snowy biome.

Mikey and Miyu chilled and waited in the cottage while discussing several topics, including their pact.

"So, once this is over, we are enemies again?" Mikey asks.

"Yeah, I still haven't taken my revenge, I know it's only out of spite, but I really just want to fight you again, I don't care about the bounty too much." Miyu responds.

"So what do you plan to do next?" Mikey asks.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"Well, once we get out of here, I am going on adventure by myself, in order to get stronger. I would also like to make some allies." Miyu replies.

"You don't have anyone?" Mikey asks.

"No, you're the first person I even talked to since we cane to this world." Miyu says.

"That's kinda depressing actually." Mikey says empathically.

"Yeah, I know, but I've never really been the talkative or social type, although I would like to change that." She says.

Miyu smiles, Mikey hasn't seen a warm smile like that on her face up until now, he is caught by surprise.

"What's up?" He asks her.

"Nothing." Miyu says.

"You mentioned you spawned in the Nether right? Was there no other player in the Nether besides you?" Mikey asks.

"Yeah, absolutely nobody. Only monsters." Miyu answers.

"After you came back in the Overworld, where did you spawn?" Mikey asked.

"I spawned on a nearby island from the island where you were staying in those hot springs. Now that I think about it, how did you even find a hotspring?" Miyu asks.

"Yeah, that's a long story, but why didn't you use your domain on me right there and then?" Mikey asks. "I was in a really bad condition you know? It would have been an easy kill for you there."

"Yeah, I know, but I didn't have my domain yet at that time." Miyu responds.

"That makes sense then. One more question, why did you throw that kunai at me with the words 'I am coming for you' or something like that written on it?"

"Yeah, about that, it actu-

[You have received a message from Lucy]

"Wait." Mikey looks at Miyu. "She answered back." He says and opens the message from Lucy.

[Mikey, I just checked on you. Where the f@ck are you? You are atleast thirty kilometers away from me. Anyways, I can't really help you find a way out of that snowy biome, however, I am almost directly south from you, so if you just keep going south, we will meet up.

Also, the reason why you weren't able to message me was because I can only have one contact saved at a time, and at that moment I was texting Zoro. We got separated. Zoro, Ragnar and Christina all somehow met up, but there are too many players in the area where they are, so we can't meet for now.

That's what my attribute is telling me atleast. Zoro and the others confirmed that there are a ton of players in their vicinity too.

On the other hand, towards the North, I see only very few players, so I will be going North and the two of us will meet up, I will tell you about everything else later]

Damn, this attribute of hers is actually so useful, Mikey thinks to himself. It must have already somehow evolved, she wasn't able to get this much information before.

"Alright Miyu, we need to go south." Mikey says.

"South huh." Miyu replies. "Your friends there?" She asks.

"Only one of them, they got separated supposedly." Mikey replies.

"Alright, let's go then." Miyu says.

"But first, let me craft something." Mikey pulls out a crafting table, and by putting a bunch of wool together, he manages to create two wool coats.

He hands one of them to Miyu.

"Thank you, but why do you have so much wool on you?" Miyu asks.

"Yeah, the reason is actually quite bizzare. There was this one sheep I met, and since then, it kept following me, I would always shear it from time to time, I figured I might use that wool in the future." Mikey answers.

"Now that I think of it. I am pretty sure I saw a sheep when I met you on that cursed island and when I attacked you in that forest." Miyu says.

"Yep, that was it." Mikey says and wonders where that sheep is now. He comes to the conclusion that it must have died somewhere in the forest with the insane amounts of monsters there were.

Mikey and Miyu leave the hut and head south.

"Wait, but how did it even get through that monster wall?" Mikey asks himself, realizing that the sheep stuck with them all the way through.

"What was that?" Miyu who didn't hear him asks Mikey.

"Nothing, just talking to myself." He responds.
