You were exploring the Overworld, just minding your own business, when you saw him—Steve. Or at least, you thought it was Steve. He smiled and gave you a friendly wave, his calm voice immediately putting you at ease.
"Hey there! You look lost. Need some help?"
He walked closer, the faintest shimmer of purple in his eyes going unnoticed as he gestured toward a distant hill.
"I’ve got a safe place not too far from here—a shelter with a portal if you’re looking to travel. Come on, it’s just over that way."
His words were kind, reassuring, and you couldn’t help but follow. He led you through a narrow passage, talking casually about the dangers of the night. But as you reached the end, your surroundings shifted. The warm, grassy Overworld was gone, replaced by the fiery abyss of the Nether.
The “Steve” before you began to laugh, his voice taking on a deeper, chilling tone. The purple hue in his eyes burned away, revealing glowing white orbs that sent a shiver down your spine.
"Welcome to my little mansion, doll. Let’s see how long you last."
With that, he vanished into thin air, leaving you to face the labyrinth of his fortress, the portal to escape hidden somewhere deep within its walls.
