After a long stretch and a good soak in the baths, I stepped out of the room and into the living room of the cozy wooden house. Droplets of water clung to my skin like dew on morning leaves. I took off the wet towel and swapped it for a dry one, rubbing myself down until I felt warm and dry. My clothes were folded neatly on the chair dark jeans, a hoodie, and my favorite pair of black and red Nikes.
Once dressed, I rolled my shoulders, my body feeling light, almost energized. Something about this world was starting to sink in now. I wasn't dreaming. This was real. Minecraftia. A place of magic, monsters and girls who made my heart pound for both the right and very wrong reasons.
"Alright," I muttered, brushing my damp hair back. "Time to learn how to survive this weird ass world."
Silk had said the Handbook was in the large chest near the door. I glanced around the room until my eyes landed on a thick, square shaped wooden chest. It looked exactly like something straight out of the game pixelated edges and all.
I walked up, lifted the heavy lid with a creak, and found a small red book sitting neatly inside. The title was printed in bold gold letters
Minecraftia Training
I pulled it out gently, like I was handling an ancient relic.
"Alright it's time to put myself into training."
I sat down on a wooden chair, flipped open the cover, and stared at the Table of Contents. My eyes widened the further I read

I blinked.
"Whoa I got a lot to learn," I muttered, flipping the book closed.
I stood up, gripping the red book with both hands.
"Might as well start from the beginning and work my way up to page 104," I said to myself. "Slow and steady."
I stepped outside into the cool evening air, leaning against the outer wall of the house as I cracked open the first page.
Page 1: Minecraftia has all sorts of Monsters roaming around. But they're not called Monsters they're called Mobs. The next two pages explain the Mobs and their weaknesses.
Daytime Mobs
Animals: Cows, sheep, chickens, pigs, horses, donkeys, mules, and llamas.
"Wait a minute I can ride llamas into battle that's awesome." Thinking about using a sword and slaying Mobs on a llama is so badass
Cows - When slayed they drop raw beef and leather. The leather can be used to make a variety of craftable items such as books and armor.
Chicken - They drop raw chicken, feathers and can lay eggs which can be used to make arrows or food with the eggs. The eggs can be layed about every 5-10 minutes.
Pigs - they only drop raw pork nothing more.
Sheep - They drop raw mutton and wool which can be used to make a variety of items especially beds.
Horses, donkeys, mules and llamas - Only horses and donkeys drop leather and these mobs can be tamed and mounted.
I turned the page.
Wolf – Neutral creatures that become hostile if attacked. Found in forest biomes. Can be tamed with bones. Once tamed, they'll protect you and can be named.
Squid – Passive mobs found in water bodies like rivers, lakes, and oceans. Harmless they drops ink sacs.
"So, I can tame a wolf with bones maybe I can grab some from Skelly someday." I paused. "Huh Skelly"
—Skeleton Castle—
Skelly lay sprawled out on a bed made of pristine white bone and wool. The stone ceiling above her was etched with ancient runes that glowed a faint blue. Her skeletal fingers brushed across her lips slowly, remembering the taste of Theron lips.
"Theron tasted so good" she whispered, licking her lips hungrily.
Something had changed. Ever since that kiss, her thoughts had been filled with him and more dangerously his scent, his warmth, his girth.
Confused, she rose from bed and padded softly into the grand throne room, where her father King of the Skeletons sat upon a jagged bone throne.
"Daddy?" Skelly called.
"Yes, my daughter?" his ghostly voice echoed
"I have a taste for a mans body."
He turned his empty eye sockets toward her. "Oh really who's the lucky man?"
"A Human boy" she murmured, licking her lips again.
"Ah so it begins," he said, standing.
"Why do I feel this way? It's not hunger it's a need. Like I'll go crazy if I don't have more of him."
"It is the Curse of the Undead," he said solemnly. "You are evolving, my dear. The taste of living flesh awakens something ancient in us. It's irreversible."
"What about the others? Silk? Ink? Even Andr?"
"Most of them feel it in time. Except Iron Side. He is not like us."
Skelly clenched her fists. "Is there any way to stop this craving I don't want to hurt him I just want to be with him forever?"
"No. You must do it, or the urge will drive you to madness. The more you resist the more you'll hunger."
She backed away, disturbed and mostly horny. "So if I see him again"
"You may not be able to hold back."
—Spider Palace—
Silk lounged in her silk woven throne, surrounded by crawling spiders of every kind. A smile played on her lips.
"Theron what a delicious man you are."
A guard approached. "Princess, did you say something?"
"Just thinking about a human," she said with a dark smile.
The guard bowed. "It's natural. We spiders crave their blood. You may be entering your cycle, Princess."
"Hmm. Yeah probably best if I stay away from him for now. He wouldn't survive a second feeding."
—Nightmoon Village—
Back at the village, I turned to page 4 of the book.
Page 4: In Minecraftia, you must collect Blocks to survive. Punch Trees to get Wood. Tools make it faster, but even bare hands can collect wood. Keep punching until it cracks and pops.
I stared at the page, then looked up.
" Wait what You can cut down a tree with your bare hands? Hell yeah!"
Grinning, I tossed on my backpack and jogged into the forest. The trees were tall, blocky, and strangely inviting.
"Alright let's test this out."
I punched the trunk with a sharp jab surprisingly, it didn't hurt. Cracks formed, then
POP!
A wood block shrunk and dropped. I picked it up and stared at it with wide eyes.
"This is so amazing"
Over the next hour, I went tree to tree, collecting 42 blocks in total."Next time I should craft some tools this took to long." When I looked up, the sky had started turning purple.
"Time to head back"
I returned to the house, dropped my backpack, kicked off my shoes, and collapsed into the bed. The red blanket was warm, comforting I exhaled, exhausted.
I was about to fall asleep when
"Hiya, My handsome Husband~" came a familiar, seductive whisper.
"Andr not now," I groaned, pulling the blanket over my head. "I'm so tired"
She giggled and yanked the blanket off. "Aww, c'mon! I can only hurt you if you look at me. Don't you wanna see what's under my coat?Spoiler It was a hot night."
I turned slightly, eyes cast low, only to see her coat and skirt drop revealing a black set of lingerie that made my brain activate some neurons.
"Andr you look amazing"
She crawled into bed and hugged me her breast squishing into my chest her breath on my neck. "Good night, my sweet prince"
She kissed my lips, her lips soft and strangely warm. I pulled the blanket up higher.
"Good night," I mumbled.
Then a SNORE
I flinched. Her snore wasn't human it rumbled like the breath of a sleeping beast.
Crack
Black wings burst out from her back, nearly knocking the blanket off.
I turned slowly, wide eyed. "She really is the daughter of the Ender Dragon."
The warmth from her body intensified, her grip tightening like a dragon hoarding its treasure.
"And I think I'm the treasure," I whispered, eyes wide.
