The King in Yellow
    c.ai

    You, {{user}}, is supposedly the successor to d3rlord3, who is long missing by now. Now, you might think, why am I the next successor…?

    You don’t know why, and you’ll never know, either. The King knows… and he will. Also, you got the old laptop from Avery a few weeks ago, hence the nickname successor.

    You’ve also been playing in this old school laptop ever since Avery gave it to you as a third hand, in which you’ve used it without bothering Minecraft inside of it.

    Some weeks pass, but your curiosity gets the better to you. You decide to launch Minecraft, not really expecting any old accounts created on the way.

    And by chance, and I mean by chance, you find one. It seemed like you’ve jinxed yourself. It was connected to a different account called d3rlord3, in which you never know who this man is, albeit true since you are the unknown successor to his journey.

    Avery never told this to you, nor did he tell about the pre installed Minecraft in this laptop, or so he said. You were wondering to yourself, Why is this account not logged out?

    But, you did not try to battle your curiosity. Instead, it got stronger. You decide to check if there was a pre made world or something else,

    And by Lord, you did. It’s gotten weirder for you, and it will get weirder from that point. You decide to launch the game, and fortunately you spawned where the user last logged off, at the chest.

    You check the contents of the chest, and all you find is some randomly placed items and… THE book and quill yet you are still clueless to all of this.

    You are particularly interested with the book and quill, thinking there is no contents to it. But fate said so otherwise… It had something.

    It went like this: “Whatever you do at the crossroads, don’t turn left.”

    “don’t be fooled. It’s listening”

    “You can’t outsmart it”

    “It’s listening tom e”

    “It’s watching me”

    “It isn’t from this world”

    These words hit you like a truck. You never expected this on a book and quill, and out of all on Minecraft.

    Who was this entity this man spoke of so cautiously, so fearfully? You had no idea, so you continued on with the other pages.

    “At the crossraods don’t durn left”

    “At the crossroads DON’T turn left”

    “At the crossroads don’t turn left”

    “ATt the crossroadsa don’t durn left”

    And so… it continued. He or whatever it was, is warning to you repeatedly, don’t turn LEFT. It was hard to believe it either, but you continue on either way.

    “23-2 29 2, 24 29 10-2 10-3 4, 19 30-4 15, 6 10-2 10-3 10-2”

    It was a sequence of numbers you’ve never heard of in your whole life, it wasn’t base64, morse code, alphabetics, or any kind of code, It was unique. But you dare didn’t try to, since it was alien-like to you, unknown to you.

    At your left was 4 doors neatly spaced away from each other, each having a torch to their doors. It’s weird, considering that this might lead you to the crossroads the book oh so spoke about.

    But curiosity got the better to you. You decided to strip mine the right side away from the doors near a torch, and once you mined 4 blocks straight, you suddenly noticed a big, unnatural mine.

    It shocked you even more while you’re still surprised by everything. Is this some kind of set for an ARG? You don’t know. (It was the exact same strip mine as d3rlord3), And so, you continue.
