I felt that every part of my body was hard to move, I felt like my arms were made of iron, my legs were far longer than normal and my eyelids were trembling.

My conciseness started to slowly get more ground, but I was too lazy to do anything.

The temperature was perfect, but my body seemed to be sore all over the place like I'd been asleep for a whole day.

I'll stay like this for 5 more minutes then wake up to challenge the Mad Prince and save Violet and Alexa.

Yeah, that sounds like a solid plan that needs plenty of rest.

.

..

...

....

"Wait but I already did that!"

I quickly got up looking around in panic.

Suddenly, I felt a headache rushing over me as memories slowly came back.

I was fighting the second in command which took longer than expected but still won, when I started to fight the Mad Prince everything went south.

At least that's what I wanted him to think.

Of course, I lost the battle anyway, I couldn't see myself winning in that situation but the real plan was for Alexa to wake up Violet and take it to a designated place and break my Perl to teleport as well.

The strategy was to bombard her head with loud messages and noises, but if that didn't work, I gave Alexa permission to scan her body.

I knew she didn't like it, but desperate times calls for desperate measures, and it seemed to work.

While I was distracting the Mad Prince and everyone else, Alexa did her job and woke up the Enderwoman.

Once Violet realized what was happening, she listened to Alexa's instructions, ripped the chains off herself, and teleported away.

After this, she must've broken the Perl since this doesn't look like a camp.

But I don't remember anything after the battle, and where was I?

I looked around at the Blue trees recognising the biome I was in, but not the place itself.

From beyond a tree, a floating angle was floating before laing its eyes on me and quickly came towards me.

This was the first time I heard Alexa so panicked, what happened while I was asleep?

"Calm down Alexa, what happened, why are you in such a hurry?"

We were being hunted, but how?

And what do you mean she's been teleporting constantly for a week, is that how long I was asleep?

I had so many questions to ask, but this was an emergency so I did everything Alexa instructed.

I built a portal, lit it, and looked around the cave to see if it was safe, then took off my armor and got back to the Nether.

"So what exactly happened while I was asleep?"

"Ok? Here's some torches, you can place them on the floor to stop monsters from spawning."

Then it was gone, leaving me alone with my thoughts on what could've happened in the past week.

After waiting for 15 minutes, Violet suddenly appeared in front of me filled with glowing wounds all over the body with a look of relief on her face.

"MY....human."

She said that before falling face-first on me which made me quickly catch her so she wouldn't get hurt.

"Ugh...she's heavy, I have to get her a potion of healing soon."

With a lot of hard work, I managed to drag the 4 block monster to the other side of the portal.

After I safely placed her on the floor, I took out my pickaxe and broke the portal, finally having some time to rest.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

"Oh boy, what happened to you Violet?"

All over her body were wounds made with swords or axes, not only that, but it seemed to give a similar effect to specter arrows making them glow.

Looks like being invisible didn't work after she got those wounds.

But how is that possible?

She could've teleported anywhere she wanted to and they couldn't do a thing.

But it seems they still found her.

I slapped my face to get my focus back, I needed to heal her wounds now, not solve the mystery.

Unfortunately, she's already unconscious so I couldn't give her a golden apple to regenerate.

I took out one of my strength potions and quickly drank it, leaving me with an empty bottle.

Then I took out the brewing stand from my Ender's chest together with some nether warts and a ghast tear.

Next, I placed the water down from my bucket, careful not to touch Violet, and filled the bottle with water.

Soon I had a regeneration potion in my hand, and unfortunately, no gunpowder to make it a splash potion.

It was a little inefficient, but I poured the contents on the wounds directly and the last few drops in her mouth.

With a relieved sigh, I sat down and looked as her wounds were visibly closing and her expression changed from one of pain to one of comfortable sleep.

I was glad to see that.

I took out the sword and shield by instinct only to realize that it was Alexa who spoke to me.

"I'm doing fine. I guess you've finished scouting the area, can you tell me what happened now?"

So the plan worked in the end.

That happened while I was asleep!?

How could I do that, why couldn't I wake up and build a portal to get away?

What kind of potion did the Mad Prince throw at me?

That was very admirable from Violet, and I'm impressed that she managed to hold on for so long. She dereves to get some rest.

"This was a nightmare to deal with, but I'm glad everyone is alive at the end. I don't know how I would've felt if Violet died because of me."

That put me on the spot, but she didn't want to be scanned, so maybe it's better if I don't know.

"It's ok, you don't need to tell me."

That confused me a little.

"What do you mean Alexa, I know who brought me here, and I knew Violet is the same since she is a monster. The Void used her power for both of us."

What was Alexa talking about?

Was there a difference between those two?

"What do you mean?"

This new information threw me off.

The only entity that I know in the End to be this powerful is the Ender Dragon, and she's most likely the one who fought the System and created the monsters.

But Alexa now is saying that there's another entity on the same level in the End?

Who could it be?

And why did it bring me into this world?

"Do you know anything else?"

Looks like I couldn't keep my curiosity in check.

The Crystal project?

I think I heard about that before, but I don't know what it does.

"What's the Crystal project?"

Seriously?

That sounds impressive.

"And what's that item?"

Is that the true purpose of the Crystal?

I knew it could heal the Ender Dreagon, but I thought it was just a feature in the game, not a device that it's forcefully modifying you body for a better state.

This was mest up, but also kind of impressive.

No wonder the System was mad that I used it last time, it's just to dangerous in the wrong hands.

"Do you know how to use this thing correctly then?"

I said that while placing the Crystal down.

Alexa flouted around the Crystal and started to analyze it. A few moments later a few blue tabs appeared in from of him.

Then I felt like something was trying to scan me, but becouse of the armor it couldn't go for too long before it stopped.

That...sounds very useful to have in so many situations.

And to think that I only used this as explosives.

No wonder the System didn't bother me anymore with this, It's like I had a gun with bullets but I used it as a club.

"So how do I get access to it?"

I put my hands on the bedrock looking base without touching the Crystal and closed my eyes while imagining a link between us.

Like a click, I felt that my mind was connected in a way similar to how Alexa talks with me.

While the connection was similar, I felt that this was inferior to Alexas, since it was sending feelings instead of words.

To test how it worked, I decided to scan Alexa.

I imagined the blue angel is my mind and a few tabs appeared in front of me.

And once I saw what was written there I could only say:

"Alexa, what are you?"
