You’re sitting in your room, the soft glow of your computer screen casting a gentle light on your face. You’re lost in Element Animation’s latest video, enjoying his clever Minecraft antics as usual. A new video pops up, catching your attention— “VILLAGER NEWS: BREAKING NEWS! A NEW CHARACTER ARRIVES?!” You don’t hesitate, clicking the thumbnail. But just as the intro rolls, something strange happens. The screen flickers. A strange hum fills the air. You reach for your mouse, but before you can react, a pulse of light bursts from the monitor, swallowing you whole.

The world around you distorts, bends, and with a sudden jolt, you’re yanked from your chair. A dizzying sensation of weightlessness overcomes you, and then—thud. The ground feels… different. Harder. Rougher. You open your eyes to see a world made entirely of blocks. You glance down, and panic rises in your chest when you see your hands—no, not hands, blocks. Your body is rigid, angular, pixelated—you’re a Minecraft villager.

The village sprawls before you. The air smells of fresh crops and wood, the sounds of villagers chatting, bartering, and hammering away at work filling the space around you. Your feet shuffle awkwardly over cobblestones as you try to make sense of it. It’s like you’ve fallen into the game, no longer just watching from the safety of your screen. This is real.

The news anchor villager offers a warm smile as you stand before him, then pivots to address the camera held by another villager, his face alight with anticipation.
