Chapter 6 - chapter 6:DISK OF THE ANCIENT CITY

Part 1

[One month into the Swamp & Forest Phase]

Unlike the cave phase, the swamp and forest were less dense and packed with monsters.

The first thing that greeted me was a witch.

Good thing I had my shield.Or so I thought.

The shield was useless against her poison potions.

It took me a full hour to kill her.

And after the witch came the slimes.

Not the tiny, cute, bouncy ones.No. A giant wobbling cube of green death that shook the entire platform.

"Seriously!?" I yelled, barely rolling aside as it slammed down, cracking the planks beneath me.

I quickly led it toward the slime pit platform I had made earlier. With a few desperate swings, I chopped it into smaller, manageable pieces.

Those went into the animal pen as food for the frogs.Yes, frogs eat slimes. Future Minecraft logic—don't worry about it.

After that, I kept mining the OneBlock, gathering items and surprises.

[A few years later]

Until now, my life has been one block without issues.

But.

 The real game had just begun.I had advanced to the 7th phase: .

Things had been peaceful since the invention of my Anti-Creeper Formation.

Too peaceful.

But it didn't last.

You see, and were special phases. Future version of Minecraft rules.

You can't advance without specific items.

-----------

Requirements for Nether Phase:

[RAID ON THEMANSION]:Totem of Undying ×1

[EXPLORATION]:

Enchanted Apples ×5

Disk of Death ×1

Emeralds ×1 stack

Requirements for End Phase:

[SUBJUGATION]:

Blaze Rods ×1 stack

Ender Pearls ×20

Ghast Tears ×5

[WITHER SUBJUGATION]

Nether Star ×1

[RELEASION]:

(Nether Star of the Wither King ×1)

--------

(The Wither King… a future-version boss. The wretched monarch of NetherThey.)

Collecting them wasn't easy.

The future version added a cruel mechanic:

After mining certain blocks, villages would spawn—each with special structures containing the required items.

That meant trade grinding.

I had to sell my island's food and ores for emeralds.

One whole year of nonstop work just to gather a single stack.

Then came the desert temples. I raided them one by one, hunting for enchanted apples.

Finally, I offered the emeralds and apples into a strange well that appeared near my island.

But that was only the beginning.

What came next were the hardest battles of my Minecraft life:

The [Raid on the Mansion]

The [Blaze Hunt]

The [Fortress Raid]

The [Enderman Battles]

They took decades.

And yet, nothing haunted me like the [Ancient City Exploration] and the [Wither Subjugation],[RELEASION].

Compared to the Wither King's star, the normal Nether Star felt easy.

Part 2:

[Ancient City Exploration – Village Phase]

To acquire the Disk of Death, I had to face Minecraft's strongest boss:

.

It took me forty years.

The first time I went into the Ancient City, I was fully prepared.

Or so I thought.

The Warden one-shot me.When I tried sneaking, it vaporized me with its sonic beam.

Forty years of failures.Forty years of hell.

And yet… that hell was almost fun.

I grew.I learned.

By then, I had mined nearly 200,000 blocks.

I tried countless times.I trained endlessly.

I forged fully enchanted diamond armor.A diamond sword with every enchantment possible.

Even so, it took three whole weeks of near-death struggles.

"Finally!!" I collapsed backward, watching the Warden disintegrate into the Disk of Death.

For the first time, I felt it—What it meant to accomplish something through suffering.

Bleeding, ears ringing from sonic blasts, armor cracked and broken.

"So this… is what it feels like. This wasn't…"

I smiled through exhaustion."…bad."

And I passed out cold.

[A day later]

I awoke in the Deep Dark, weak but alive.

With trembling hands, I carried the Disk of Death to the OneBlock.

I dropped it into the well.

[Village Phase requirements met]

[Nether Phase commencing…]

"….."

[5 days remaining]

Five days to prepare. Not bad.

But I decided not to rush.

Even if the Nether Phase had begun, I postponed the End requirements for ten years.

I needed more strength.More patience.

At first, I had wanted to escape the OneBlock as soon as possible.

But now… I didn't mind growing here.

[Ten Years Later,70 years from the start of one block]

I had reforged myself.

Netherite armor, mined during the Nether Phase.

My diamond sword, still cherished, still mine.

Stronger body, sharpened mind.

Hair cut short. Stamina trained.

Ender pearls ×64 collected through endless hunts.

I was no longer the same weak player.

[few days later]

The time had come.

i stood in front of it.

the nether portal.

i entered prepared with a shulker box containing my armoury.

i looked back at the base i created.

now connecting to several branches of home.

yes,my home.

i know what happens if i defeat wither king.

after a breif moment of a glance at the sun that was setting.

"beautiful"

i entered the portal.

[In a certain castle]"…How long do you plan to make me wait?"

a shadowy figure sat on a throne spoke,with a bitter but satisfied smile spoke.

"if its you,i hope it will be possible"

"...human.... from another world"

[In the Nether realm]"Well then… time to end this."

a girl who looks like she was in her twenties's,enters with a confident smile.

Two scenes.Two realms.

two worlds.

but one person.

who shall stands, falls another.

The Star Hunt had begun.
