    MARVEL: Game Maker System

    Alex was an ordinary person with the dream of one day being transmigrated to a magical world.

    But what he didn't expect is that he would be transmigrated to a world much more than that, a world he knew very well, but instead of being given a system that would empower him, he was given a system that allowed him to make games, and the more people played, the more powers he would get.

    Tony Stark: Son of a bitch, I can do in real life everything this Watch Dogs guy does, but why can't I stop playing?

    Hulk: HULK HATES DARK SOULS!!! HULK SMASH DARK SOUS ARRRHHHHGGG!!!

    Nick Fury: If any agent can't complete the Hitman game by next week, that agent will be fired from the Shield!

    A world of superheroes, but who controls everything is "only" a game developer.

    01 - Game Maker System?

    "What a monotonous life..." Alex thought as he cut down a tree to keep warm from the cold.

    Alex was a young man who was always interested in webnovels and games, his dream was to die one day and transmigrate to some magical world, where he could use magic or similar things, as life on earth was very boring for someone like him, who had no money and no friends.

    Until one day he fell into a silo full of corn while working on the farm he was hired to, and choked to death inside.

    A slow and painful death, but it made Alex excited thinking about the possibility of transmigrating to another world.

    Fortunately for Alex, it actually happened, but unfortunately not the way he imagined it. Rather than appearing in a world of magic, medieval, dungeons, monsters, or something like that, it actually appeared on a snow-covered mountain.

    There was nothing but a log cabin, snow and trees all around him.

    For the first few days he was excited, imagining that at any moment some magical master, a dwarf blacksmith, or even a dragon could appear for him to meet and learn from them, but unfortunately none of that happened.

    Today Alex had been on this isolated mountain for a month with no contact with anyone, and that was driving him crazy.

    While preparing a rabbit meat to eat, finally something different happened in the dreary new life of Alex.

    [System download completed...]

    [Initiating initial operations...]

    Alex was shocked to see these messages!

    "Finally!!! I've waited so long for this!" He squealed in happiness as he started dancing at being finally blessed with a system.

    [System started.]

    [Introduction: The target was selected to make use of a beta system for transmigrated users. The system name has not been decided, but the user has full rights to use all features.

    Features: The user will use Gaming Points to be able to create new games. Each player will be able to receive unique items as in-game rewards that can be cashed out for real life.

    The games created by the user will have to be made through the platform provided by the system, as the user does not have a computer, the user will receive a computer as a gift from the system, only the user will have access to the game development system.

    The more players that play the user's games, the more Gaming Points the user will receive, being able to convert these Gaming Points into more complex functionalities for the game, or even into useful things for the user, such as clothes, objects, knowledge, everything is available for the user.

    But if the host cannot make games that will please the public, unfortunately we will have to find another host.]

    After reading all this Alex had mixed emotions, initially he was very excited to receive a system, then he felt a little sad to see it was just a system for someone to make games, but soon after he got excited again to find that he could use those Gaming Points in the game so he could get anything he wanted, including knowledge.

    Excited, Alex looked around his little cabin and discovered that there really was a computer there!

    It was a computer a little different from what he imagined, as it had a very futuristic look and was extremely compact, but when he turned on the computer, Alex instinctively knew how to work the computer, which didn't cause any problems for him.

    Unfortunately he only had three programs on his computer.

    [Game Developer]

    [Game Analytics]

    [Game Following]

    Even though he searched the entire computer, he didn't have any other programs, that is, he couldn't access the internet. This initially frustrated Alex a bit, as he was used to being connected to the internet in his previous life, even working on a farm, but after spending 30 days without any contact with it, luckily he wasn't so uncomfortable anymore.

    With a careful expression, Alex clicked on the [Game Developer] app.

    So a window appeared in front of him.

    [What style of game do you want to create?]

    [Basic RPG - 5,000 Gaming Points.] [Advanced RPG - 50,000 Gaming Points.] [Triple A RPG - 500,000 Gaming Points.]

    [Basic Adventure - 1,000 Gaming Points.] [Advanced Adventure - 10,000 Gaming Points.] [Triple A Adventure - 100,000 Gaming Points.]

    [Basic FPS - 500 Gaming Points.] [Advanced FPS - 5,000 Gaming Points.] [FPS Triple A - 50,000 Gaming Points.]

    ...

    Several different game genres popped up on Alex's screen, and within each option, he could see that there were different features. For example, a Basic FPS game, there were only a few slots for making maps, few slots for making weapons, and so on. As a Triple A FPS, the user could make giant maps, lots of different weapons, and so on.

    At this point Alex got a little thoughtful. He only had 400 Gaming Points. Initially he thought if he could buy some things like a television for his cabin, or delicious food, but for the small amount of Gaming Points he had, that would hardly be enough to make a game going down, let alone left over for him to buy something For yourself.

    As he looked at the list of game categories he could make, Alex saw something that caught his attention.

    [Basic Sandbox - 200 Gaming Points.] [Advanced Sandbox - 20,000 Gaming Points.] [Triple A Sandbox - 2,000,000 Gaming Points.]

    This was the game style with the greatest variation between the price of each model. Being the game with the cheapest Basic model in the store as much as the game with the most expensive Triple A model in the store.

    But Alex knew the reason for such a large price discrepancy between the models. This is because the better a Sandbox game is, the more freedom the player should have, so the more things the game should offer the player to do.

    Seeing the low price of the game, Alex knew that this would be the game model he was going to make, first because it was cheap, and second because he already knew what would be the ideal game to make in the first place.

    A game that wouldn't be very difficult to make initially, that didn't have many complicated features, but even though it was very simple, it still attracted a huge amount of players to play every day.

    Clicking to use the Sandbox model, Alex saw that his Gaming Points had dropped from 400 to 200 in one second, but he knew that if he could make this game, he would earn much more in the future!

    A game that shook the world, both adults and children loved it.

    [Minecraft]

    02 - Minecraft Development

    Using the game development system was easier than Alex imagined.

    He was initially worried that he had never studied game development in his life, especially programming. But when interacting with the system's computer, Alex felt that everything was much simpler than he imagined.

    If he needed an item to work that way, he just had to type that it should work that way, and the system would automatically fill in the functionality the way he envisioned.

    Using Minecraft development as an example, when he told the system that he wanted the sand and gravel blocks to have gravity, the system would go straight into his mind and understand what he wanted to do.

    Of course, he even thought about trying to imagine Minecraft and telling the system to do it that way, but in doing so the system sent a notification to him that left him a little scared.

    [To represent the host memory game perfectly, a fee of 50,000 Gaming Points will be required. As the host memory functionalities are very advanced, it will be necessary to upgrade the game to 'Advanced Sandbox', which needs another 200,000 Gaming Points fee.]

    After seeing this message, Alex stopped being lazy and started thinking about every aspect he would put into the game on his own.

    Most of the game stuff he could do using the basic system resources, as Minecraft wasn't a game with a lot of stuff, he didn't need to spend a lot of Gaming Points on development.

    Of course, that's because he decided to use one of the older versions of the game.

    The game wouldn't have the latest updates like Caves Update, Nether Update, Villager and Pillager Update... but it still had a lot of stuff available, much more advanced than early versions of Minecraft in its previous world.

    Curious, Alex asked the system something. "System, is it possible to make the game available for players to develop mods?"

    [It is possible, but as the game is not made using any of the platforms in this world, the user will have to spend 50 Gaming Points to develop a mod development platform. ]

    "Hmm...that's good. I approve. Even though it's a little expensive, it's still essential for this game." Alex said with a smile on his face.

    "But system, you said the game is not made using any of the platforms in this world, how does that work?" Alex asked.

    [The game is developed on a more evolved world platform, which reduces the expense and time needed to make the game. Of the 200 points spent on choosing the game style, 50% is used to convert the game to an acceptable platform in this world, while the other 50% is used for features used in the game itself. ]

    "An acceptable platform in this world? How so?" Alex asked with a frown. He thought this game would be played on PC or a console.

    [The advanced world platform is made for playing games where the player is teleported to other worlds. However, on this platform if the player dies in the game, he also dies in real life. That's why it's necessary to modify this platform so that only the player's conscience goes to the game world, and add a security system so that the player goes back to the original world if he dies in the game. ]

    As he read this message floating in front of him, Alex felt the hairs on his body rise. He thought he was just developing an ordinary computer game, but he was actually working on a program that sent people to other worlds?! If there was no such security system, would players die in his games?

    Luckily there was this security system, so Alex was more reassured about it. Over time he even got excited imagining what it would be like to play Minecraft in person.

    He had seen videos of people playing Minecraft in VR in his previous life, but nobody really liked it, they said it was too weird and claustrophobic. Some professionals even said it was because of the hardware limitation at the time.
    But according to what the system said, Alex would not have to worry about this limitation and could experience the game perfectly.

    With that in mind, he was even more concerned about making the game better.

    To turn the game's lighting into something more realistic, he even paid another 50 Gaming Points to add a pack of Shaders to the game world. It would be very strange to enter another reality and the sun is weak, the water has no reflection.

    After that the graphics were amazing.

    The problem was when he started to feel like he had forgotten about some things in the game.

    "What do I do…" Alex asked himself worriedly.

    He played Minecraft for many years, but it's one thing to play it, another thing to remember every detail, every block, every mob.

    Until he realized he still had 100 free points.

    "System, is there anything I can do to remember all the details of a game?" Alex asked worriedly.

    [User can purchase a Memory Capsule for 50 Gaming Points. This capsule will make the user remember everything related to something specific for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the memory about it will start to fade if the user doesn't pay attention to that thing again, but if the user really concentrates on what he wants to remember, he can remember that thing again, but not so easily. Ps. Using multiple memory capsules on something specific can make that memory permanent.]

    Reading that in the message floating in front of him made Alex break into a satisfied smile. He could still save 50 Gaming Points after using the memory pod.

    Without thinking twice he bought the capsule and swallowed it.

    In a few seconds a lot of memories started to pop into his mind, initially it hurt a little, but as time went by it only got slightly uncomfortable.

    Until he completely adapted to that memory and went back to developing Minecraft.

    Alex was determined to finish Minecraft tonight.

    Flappy Bird. If you want to power level make Flappy Bird. Flappy Bird spawned it's entire genre, was a cult classic success of the same level of Minecraft and it's also ridiculously easy to make.

    03 - Minecraft is ready


    "It's finally ready…" Alex said in a tired voice as he finished reviewing the game thoroughly.

    He had been awake for 21 hours developing Minecraft and reviewing until he could no longer find any Bugs.

    "It would be nice to actually have lots of Gaming Points to be able to let the system play the game using just my memory... unfortunately my remaining 50 points are way off the 50,000 points needed to be able to do that..." Alex sighed as he fiddled with the computer .

    In the [Game Developer] program, there was a [Test] button. Alex couldn't think about how the game would be after being submitted, he was really looking forward to testing the game right now, but the fatigue he was feeling was very heavy, to the point that he found it difficult even to go to the bathroom.

    So, after washing away the dirty cutlery, which he used to eat the rest of the rabbit he had hunted, Alex lay down on his bed and slept very peacefully.

    ---
    The next day, Alex woke up excited to test the game. First he put some wood to burn to warm him up, and enthusiastically pressed the [Launch] button in the program.

    In the blink of an eye, Alex found himself in a completely different place. Instead of the small cabin he'd lived in for the last month, surrounded by pine trees and lots of snow, this time Alex was finally feeling warm again.

    "This…this is magic!" He yelled excitedly as he looked around curiously.

    There was green grass, oak trees, sheep, cows, everything he had imagined was in front of him.

    The only problem that made him feel a little uncomfortable was that the whole world had something different... everything was square! But unlike the minecraft he saw through his computer screen, this time everything around him was square, it was like the whole world was squared to match itself.

    With emotion, Alex ran towards a tree and did something he always imagined it would be like.

    *Punch*

    Alex punched a tree! But instead of what he imagined, the trunk of the tree did not break, but began to show cracks.

    *Punch, Punch, Punch *

    After three more punches, the tree trunk actually broke, and just as Alex imagined the tree remained in place, floating as if nothing had happened.

    The experience of seeing this happening through a computer screen and making it happen with your own arms was completely different.

    *Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch *

    Alex continued to break trees until something happened. The leaves on the trees began to fall, and between the leaves a bright red apple also fell.

    Curious, Alex took the apple and took a bite of it.

    "What a divine taste!" He yelled in excitement making his blue shirt sway over the sides.

    Finally Alex noticed something different. This should probably be the first thing a person entering this world would notice, but having played minecraft for so many years, Alex just ignored it without realizing how weird it was.

    His hand that held the apple was square, his arms were rectangular, when he took his own face, he felt that his face was also square!

    As he ran towards a nearby river, Alex saw a very familiar face.

    "Steve..." He said shocked.

    Looking at one's reflection and seeing Steve was shocking. But unlike playing on the computer monitor, seeing it with your own eyes was strangely…normal.

    His eyes moved naturally, his mouth moved naturally, there were square teeth that for some reason could eat the apple well, his hand had fingers that even though they were square also looked natural.

    All of this got Alex very excited making him explore everything. He had adapted crafting to work in a more "magical" way. The player still had the inventory, but crafting had been revamped.

    Opening the inventory, Alex used his mind to make a cookbook come out. The book contained all the things a player could do with the materials he currently had, and the more different things the player got, the more pages the book would receive.

    Initially minecraft didn't have this book, but this made many casual gamers not try to play the game as it was too difficult, so in later versions the developer added something that Alex also did in his game.

    Following the recipe given in the book, Alex opened his inventory and took the other item that newbies would receive. A black box with a tool symbol.

    The box had nine compartments where the player could place the block miniatures and items they had. By following the recipe in the book and placing the blocks and items in the right places, when closing the box it would glow and when opened again, the finished item would come out of there.

    Alex had changed more things in the game to make gameplay more fun for players, but that he was too lazy to test for now.

    Seeing that the game was starting to get dark, Alex realized that it had probably been 20 minutes since he entered the game.

    As he ate an apple on minecraft, he felt he wasn't hungry, but his body in life really was probably feeling it, so he decided to quit the game for something to eat.

    With a satisfied smile, Alex rose from his computer chair and marveled at the system he'd been given.
    If he can keep using this system to make more games, the people of the world will go crazy about it. Even he, whoever made the game was dying to play, so who will say other players?

    With a smile on his face, Alex used the mouse to click the [Launch] button.

    Under the system, this button would make the game launch on all non-exclusive digital platforms, that is, as long as it wasn't a digital store for a console, or a digital store for a game brand, all stores that accepted developers independents would have his game listed on the shelves as if he had actually signed up to promote his game there.

    After hitting [Launch], Alex decided to look at the system store and see if he could buy some cheap food so he wouldn't have to go hunting any more animals.

    ---

    Meanwhile, in an apartment in the suburbs of NY, a chubby young teenager was browsing the world's most famous online game store.

    Unfortunately he was very bored. All the games were very similar, it was either a game about Captain America in WWII, or a game where a soldier had to fight Nazis, or worse, a game where the company just wanted to take money from players, making them spend a lot to be able to stay strong.

    Ned didn't have the money to play this type of game, so he was always weaker than other players. That's why he gave up on that kind of game.

    But no matter where he looked, Ned couldn't find any interesting games to play.
    He even went to the "Recently Added" tab, but he couldn't find anything there.
    Until he saw something that caught his attention.

    Among several war-themed games, there was one game that was standing out a lot for being different.
    A pixelart that apparently represented a land, with a name written across the front in square fonts.
    [Minecraft]

    Curious, Ned clicked on this different game and saw that the game page didn't have much information. The only information I had was some promotional images of a square man apparently looking after a farm, with pigs, cows, sheep, horses.

    "Is this a game where the player is a farmer?" Ned wondered aloud as he became interested.

    He had never seen a game where the player was a farmer. He was tired of war games, so watching a game about a farm seemed fun.

    Seeing that the price of the game was only $20, he felt it could be worth it, after all if the game could entertain him for a few days it would be enough.

    "I just hope this isn't one of those games that sucks the player's money..." He thought as he pressed the [Play] button.

    04 - Is heaven a square?


    When Ned pressed the [Play ] button, he strangely felt a slight dizziness before seeing that everything around him had become clear.

    Having been in the dark room for a long time, Ned took a while to adapt to the light.

    At this point he was extremely scared!

    "Shit, did I die? Will I become a soldier in my next life?! Please nooooo....!!!!!" Ned yelled as he started to cry and knelt on the floor.

    But when he knelt down, Ned felt like he was kneeling in grass. Confused, he wiped his own tears and looked around, only to see a very bright and colorful world.

    "Is this... is this heaven? Is heaven a square?" He asked himself confused as he tried to understand what was going on.
    Until he saw a screen floating in front of him.

    Curious, Ned approached and saw what was written.

    [Minecraft ]
    [Single Player ]
    [Multiplayer - Coming Soon ]
    [Quit]


    Seeing this Ned was shocked.

    "Is this... is this the game?!" Nervously he hit the exit button, and feeling the dizziness he'd previously felt, but now a little weaker, in a flash Ned found himself in his own room again, with the Minecraft Launcher screen in front of him, with the mouse over the [Play ] button.

    "I returned?" He wondered as he looked around his room, which was just as he had left it before he left.

    Ned was scared of this game, but like a good nerd, Ned was even more curious about it. After all, if this was a game, it was his duty to complete the game completely. Even more so because it was such a different game, he was tempted to dig deeper and see what would happen.

    Then with a confident expression, like a warrior going to an unknown war, Ned pressed [Play ] again.
    When he opened his eyes again, Ned found himself in the same green, colorful, and square world he was in before, but this time he didn't press [Exit ], but rather [Single Player ].

    When he hit that button, the screen vanished in front of him, making Ned look around curiously.
    The first thing he noticed was that his arms had turned square. 'It's probably to match the world, right?' Ned asked himself mentally.

    On his back he felt a backpack, so out of curiosity he grabbed the backpack and opened it.
    But instead of seeing what was inside, Ned saw a screen floating in front of him, with a book and a box, and several empty spaces.

    Curious, he reached into his backpack and reached for the book.

    Magically the book came out of his hand.

    Opening the book carefully, Ned began to read the instructions and was a little confused.

    While holding the book, Ned walked towards a tree and took a breath before punching the tree.

    *Punch*

    As soon as he closed his eyes in fear of the pain the punch would bring him, he heard the crunch of bark breaking, but the pain he'd been waiting for didn't come.

    More confident now, Ned punched the tree again, and saw that it was even more cracked. Followed by other punches the torso suddenly broke and turned into a small block that floated in front of him.

    "Is this floating?" He asked shocked as he ran his square hand between the two trunks to see if there was nothing holding it, but really there was nothing!

    Picking up a small floating block, Ned put it in his own backpack and found a diversion.

    Not caring what the book was telling him to do, Ned started punching everything, trees, dirt, sand, stone. Everything he punched sometimes broke.

    Curious about these little blocks, Ned decided to throw it on the ground and see what happened.

    *Bamf*

    The small miniature block he was holding suddenly grew and returned to its former size as soon as it hit the ground.
    "Woahh!!" Ned was shocked.

    He loved playing lego as he had several different lego collections, but he never imagined he could play with such a big lego.

    So without thinking twice, Ned started breaking up all the land he saw along the way and started putting the small blocks in his backpack.

    When he felt hungry, Ned ate one of the apples that fell from the trees and savored the sweet taste of those fruits.

    "If apples in real life were so good, I wouldn't mind going on a diet…" He said in a low voice as he finished eating the apple and prepared to make his first build.

    With a confident look, Ned began to toss the blocks of earth to the ground. He had taken many blocks of earth to make this great construction.

    *Bamf, Bamf, Bamf*

    Several blocks were piling up until they finally formed a large structure that he was proud of.

    "This is my castle, and I am the King! King Ned! Mwaahahahaha!" He started to laugh out loud as he looked around.

    *Bruuuhhh*

    Suddenly, a deep voice was heard near Ned's castle.

    Curious, Ned looked around as he wondered. "What is this, is it another player? But I'm playing Single Player...maybe it's an NPC?"

    *Bruuuuuhhhh*

    The voice got even louder, making Ned a little uneasy.

    As long as he played behind a mouse and keyboard, Ned wasn't afraid of NPCs, but now that he was in the game, Ned was getting really scared.

    "Who's there?" He yelled as he looked around.

    It was completely at night, it was almost impossible to see more than 10 meters away.

    This was making Ned even more afraid.

    Until Ned finally saw the silhouette that was making the noise, but instead of being relaxed, Ned was terrified.

    "Is this a Zombie?!!!!! I thought this was a farm game, why is there a zombie here?!" Ned was horrified. He was scared of real zombies, and now he was seeing a zombie in front of him coming with its arms outstretched like it was going to eat his brain at any moment.

    "Shit, shit…" He grabbed his own backpack and pulled out the book to try and see what he was supposed to do. But because it was so dark, Ned couldn't read anything.

    He had left the entrance to the castle open, thinking it would be easier for him to pass that way, but who would have thought he had opened the henhouse door for the fox to enter?!

    Not knowing what to do, Ned did the only thing he had done so far.

    *Punch, Punch, Punch *

    Ned began desperately pounding the ground and digging a hole for himself to hide.

    When he was completely in the hole, Ned took a miniature earth block and not the top part, getting stuck in a 1x1x2 space.

    Ned didn't know it, but by pure instinct he had used the most famous tactic in Alex's previous world for novice players who were afraid to play Minecraft at night, dig a hole and wait until dawn.

    "Hmm, the food looks good, 1 Gaming point for a pack of 20 CupNoodles? Doesn't seem like a bad deal." Alex was entertained looking at the system store.


    He had looked to the other tabs for what might be useful to him, and aside from everyday things that were cheap, the rest was very expensive.


    He could get powers from anime, movies, but it was very, very expensive.


    [Dominic Toretto Driving Skills: 3,000 Gaming Points.]


    [Deadshot Weapon Mastery: 10,000 Gaming Points.]


    [Gray Fullbuster Ice Magic: 100,000]


    [Megumin Fire Magic: 500,000 Gaming Points.]



    Unfortunately even Dominic Toretto's driving techniques were at a price Alex couldn't even think to pay.


    So he just contented himself with looking at the price of food for now. He was rooting for Minecraft to succeed and generate more Gaming Points for him.


    Alex didn't know what the world he was like, since he got here he was trapped in this mountain, with no contact with the outside world, so he was afraid of meeting a dragon, or a demon lord who controlled this world.


    "These 20 CupNoodles can last for 10 days, I think that in 10 days Minecraft has already generated me at least 1 Gaming Point, right?" He asked himself a little uncertainly.


    But because of the hunger he was feeling, and the lack of industrialized food he was feeling, Alex gritted his teeth and spent 1 Gaming Point to buy these CupNoodles.


    "This is divine… I missed this so much!!" Alex exclaimed happily as he feasted on the noodles.


    Until he saw something that caught his attention on the computer screen.


    [1 Active Player in 'Minecraft']


    "What? Has anyone already bought Minecraft? But it's been less than 30 minutes since I made it online..." Alex asked himself both surprised and confused.


    Opening the [Game Following] program, Alex saw that there was an icon of an active player, with a small one-eyed button next to that player's icon.


    Curious, Alex clicked on the icon and saw that his computer screen was playing a world of Minecraft, as if he were in spectator mode.


    On the screen, there was a worried Steve looking around, apparently afraid of something.


    "He's been playing for just over 20 minutes...so he's past his first night? This is surprising, I remember my first time playing minecraft I had died to a skeleton's arrow at night and nearly died for that player to survive the first night in such an immersive game is commendable." Alex said to himself with a smile as he sucked some CupNoodles.


    Gradually he became more and more entertained watching this player venturing into the world of minecraft.


    When he saw the player about to have a heart attack when he saw a Creeper exploding next to him Alex almost died laughing.


    "This is like watching one of those well-crafted animations from my previous life, those people had so much talent that they could make such compelling stories in minecraft, this kid seems to have a talent for entertaining people." Alex smiled as he continued to watch.


    Without him noticing, an hour had passed and he was still watching this boy's adventures in this new world. "Maybe this is the fun of those gods who reincarnate humans in unknown worlds? Maybe I'm fun like that for someone? Nah, I just sat in front of the computer and made a game, I guess I'm not that interesting."


    But after saying that, Alex realized something. "But this player is interesting, how about I develop a way to stream this?"


    With that idea in mind, Alex minimized [Game Following] and opened [Game Developer].


    Using the mind commands for the system made it very easy to implement streaming mode in the game, unfortunately this cost Alex another 30 Gaming Points as it wasn't part of the basic Sandbox game mode. But he was satisfied with that, after all, he knew the power that livestreams had in his previous life to convince players to buy games.


    Hitting the [Update] button, Alex smiled and looked at that player's screen again. Unfortunately he had been the only person to buy Minecraft so far, but it wouldn't stay that way for long.


    ---


    Ned was having so much fun, he hadn't even noticed that almost two hours of play had already passed. After discovering that he could make swords, pickaxes, shovels, armor, Ned became addicted.


    He wanted to mine deeper and deeper into the caves, but he was afraid of encountering some unknown monster.


    After he saw that green monster that explodes he was shocked.


    But that didn't stop Ned from venturing into the surface and shallower caves. So he got his first iron armor.


    Looking at the shining armor between his arms made Ned very proud, he had conquered this armor with a lot of effort, which made him value it even more.


    But as Ned admired his iron armor, a floating screen appeared in front of him.


    [A new update has come up, do you want to update the game now? You will need to restart the game to apply updates.]



    Seeing this Ned was surprised. From what he had seen when he bought the game, it had been released today, and was there an update already?


    But despite the doubts, Ned decided to accept and disconnected from the game for three seconds before returning to the world again.


    "So fast? Maybe it could just be a little bug fix…" Ned said out loud as he went back to admiring the armor in front of him.


    When he went to put his old leather armor in his backpack, Ned saw something different there.


    Next to the backpack was something that wasn't there before... a camera!


    "When did I get a camera? I don't remember crafting this." He said to himself a little uncertainly.


    When he took the camera, he saw a small screen explaining what it was,


    [This is the streaming camera. To start a live broadcast it is necessary to log in to the desired platform account.]


    "This... should I? Last time it didn't work out very well..." Ned wondered before shaking his head. "Damn it, I won't lose anything with this anyway, why not give it a try? Certainly other people will be amazed by this game too, this could be my opportunity!"


    With conviction, Ned logged into his Twitch account and pressed the camera button to begin streaming.


    As soon as the camera light turned red, he got a little shy as he held the camera not knowing what to do.


    [PParker: Hey Ned, are you trying streaming again? What is it? It's a movie? Dude, be careful, you could get sued for this... D:]


    Seeing his best friend's text, Ned smiled and replied. "Hi Peter, this isn't a movie, look, it's me!" And he started to move his arms as he waved from side to side.


    [PParker: What?! How are you doing this? Are you using body tracking? How did you get so much money?!]


    "Hahaha, it's not body tracking, look, this is the house I built, in the beginning it was just an earth castle, but then I took some stone with my pickaxe and managed to exchange the land for stone, now it's much tougher!" Ned said as he started to show with the camera and explain the things he's done in the world since he started playing.


    [PParker: Woah!! How are you doing this?! Pls tell me! I want to try too!]


    [dark _knight: Hey bro, what's this? I was passing through other livestreams and saw that yours seems to be using CGI, are you a V-Tuber?]



    And so more people started arriving on Ned's livestream, some came out of boredom, others came because friends called, but after joining this weird livestream, no one could leave, everything was very new and magical for them, Ned often had to explain the most basic things in the game over and over, but no one got tired of hearing it as he walked around this world holding the camera.


    Viewers were feeling like they were somehow watching a human from another world as he explored it, it was so much better than a movie!

    Alex was thrilled to see people liking the player's livestream, who apparently was named Ned.


    "Finally some entertainment!" Alex squealed in happiness.


    He didn't have any form of contact with the outside world, only being able to do things related to the game, so being able to watch other people interact was already a big step forward for him.


    [Ding]


    [Ding]


    Two new notifications came from the [Game Analytics] app.


    In this show he could see how the game was doing, how much it sold, how long players were online, and that sort of thing.


    Those two notifications only meant one thing, he sold two more copies!


    Ned's livestream had 40 people watching him, and the number was continuing to grow. For someone like Ned who only had 1 follower before he started playing, getting 40 people together was awesome. And these people calling more and more friends was becoming a great free publicity for Alex's game.


    [Units sold: 3 ($60)]


    "My game has already sold $60! This is amazing!" Alex was happy as he rushed to open the [Converter] tab to calculate how many points he could earn from these sales of copies of the game.


    [$60 = 0.3 Gaming Points]


    "Urhgg... that's not even 1 Gaming Point? So I'll need $200 to get 1 Gaming Point? To make another 200 Gaming Points Sandbox game would I need $40,000? Damn, that's too expensive! What a conversion! ridiculous is that?" Alex yelled in frustration.


    "I need to calm down, $40,000 is only 2,000 units sold... not a lot, right?" Alex wondered uncertainly.


    Minecraft in his previous world had sold 600 million copies, which was equivalent to 120 billion dollars if it sold at $20 each copy, with such huge potential, Alex didn't have to worry that it wouldn't yield anything for him. The game would probably take a while to start generating more profit, but he shouldn't be in a hurry.


    With his mind made up, Alex thought about eating another CupNoodles to celebrate, but remembering that each CupNoodles this one was costing $10, he felt a little guilty for eating this, after all, it was almost 20% of what he had already earned with the game so far...


    ---


    With a source of entertainment, the day went by pretty quickly. Alex used the rest of the day to continue watching Ned's livestream and felt that it was a lot of fun, way better than sitting in the cabin doing nothing like he was being forced to do before.


    The next day, Alex opened [Game Analytics] and saw the Minecraft stats.


    [Minecraft]


    [Units Sold: 41 ($820]


    [Average time played: 5 hours.]


    [Peak simultaneous players: 34]


    "This... do I already have enough for 4 Gaming Points?!" Alex was excited. He would no longer have to regulate his own food for fear of not having enough money to support it.


    Adding to the 19 Gaming Points he had previously, he could now convert that money and have 23 Gaming Points.


    It wasn't much, but he had noticed that more players had started making Minecraft Livestream, which would draw even more attention to the game, providing more sales for it in the future.


    "I think the next thing I should develop is multiplayer. This will attract even more people, but before that I need to collect 50 Gaming Points..." Alex chatted to himself.


    He wanted to launch Minecraft with multiplayer mode, but to do that he would need to pay more points, which he didn't have much left, so he had to just leave the [Soon] button next to multiplayer in the game.


    With 50 Gaming Points he could buy a server that would support 5,000 people playing online, which was a pretty good number considering that 5,000 people would earn him 500 Gaming Points.


    "For now all I can do is wait..." Alex sighed as he opened [Game Following] and started watching Ned's livestream again. He was surprised that there were already 93 people watching Ned's livestream, that was pretty fast growth for someone who didn't have any followers yesterday.


    Until a notification popped up in front of him that left him a little confused.


    [Ding, a Mutant just purchased the game, do you want to allow the mutant to use his abilities in the game?]


    "A mutant? What are mutants? Maybe humans who killed a beast and absorbed the essence of it? Or a human who was born with problems?" Alex started to wonder curious, still thinking that this could be a world of magic. He knew the X-Men, but for some reason he was so focused that this could be a world of Dragons and Magic that he didn't think it was a mutant he knew well.


    "What does it cost to allow this?" Alex asked the system.


    [To allow mutants to use abilities in the game requires 25 Gaming Points for 1250 mutants, if user wanted to allow mutants to lend abilities to humans in game, 25 Gaming Points will be needed for 1250 humans to receive abilities.]


    Seeing this Alex was shocked. That would be very interesting to see. Humans are prejudiced beings, he doesn't doubt that these mutants suffer prejudice wherever they go, but allowing them to lend abilities could make humans see them differently.


    "I'll do it when I have enough Gaming Points, it's good to be a considerate game developer!" Alex thought with a proud smile.


    He just didn't know that this move would attract a lot more attention than he imagined around the world.


    ---


    Kurt Wagner was looking for a fun livestream channel to watch, but he was tired of just seeing people playing shooting or war games, these games were cool to play for a year or two, but since he was a kid these were the only types game he had available to play, it became very repetitive...


    Until one day, while rummaging through the Twitch website, Kurt found something different.


    A livestream with a very intriguing title.


    [Minecraft: Another World]


    Curious, he clicked on this livestream to see what was so special about this game, but what he saw surprised Kurt.


    On his screen was a small square man holding a camera and talking to people while tending a large farm.


    If the man wasn't square, Kurt would think this was just an IRL livestream from some farmer who just wanted company. But no, the square man was wearing armor on his body while he had a sword strapped to his waist, this was not something that happened on farms.


    Curious he typed a message in the chat.


    [Crawler: What is this? I am new here.]


    Kurt didn't imagine the man's answer would come practically in an instant.


    "Haha, this is your first time friend Crawler? Don't be surprised, everyone is like that after seeing Minecraft for the first time. This is a virtual reality game where you go to another world and you can have your own adventures. side of the barn? I was the one who built it with my own hands!" Ned said excitedly as he pointed to the house he was so proud to build.


    Kurt was very surprised to see this, as the man responded almost instantly. 'Is this really a game? I was thinking it was some kind of movie, or some new technology for V-Tubers, but the way this man is acting and showing everything around him while interacting with objects, it really feels like a game!' Kurt was excited.


    With excitement he opened the game store and bought the game right away.

    It had been three days since Kurt had purchased Minecraft. He was completely addicted to this game. His friends at the mansion were also curious about why Kurt was always 'sleeping' in his computer chair, but when they found out what game he was playing they were just as excited as he was and started playing it too.


    "Kurt, I found that if you pair Blaze Powder with an Enderpearl you get an Ender Eye, which shows you the direction of a dragon dungeon!" Kitty Pride said to Kurt excitedly as they ate breakfast.


    "What?! A dragon? I thought the most powerful monsters were the Endermans! Where did you get this Blaze Powder?" Kurt asked very surprised.


    "I found it in an abandoned mine chest, unfortunately I could only find one, so after using the Ender Eye a few times it broke..." Kitty said a little discouraged.


    Suddenly, as they were talking, Evan Daniels approached them and said excitedly. "Guys, Ned found you can go to hell in minecraft!"


    "WHAT?!!!!!" (2x)


    The two screamed in surprise at this, they thought there was only one dimension in Minecraft, but was there a way to go to hell?!


    "Yes, remember he made the door to his castle with the obsidian he had taken with a diamond pickaxe? Then, without meaning to, he set fire to the forest near his castle and the door to his house turned into a portal to hell!" Evan said excitedly as he grabbed his cell phone and showed it to the other kids.


    Because of the volume of Evan's voice, the other kids were curious and also came to see his cell phone. Onscreen, Ned was in a world with red rocks and lava instead of water.


    Suddenly Ned saw a big castle made of red blocks and started to get excited to get those blocks to use in his castle.


    But the young people didn't pay attention to what he said, everyone was talking excitedly about the hell in the game.


    "Damn! I didn't know there was a hell! I thought there was only one dimension!" A little boy said.


    "Is there more to this hell?! Stronger monsters?!" Another boys said.


    "Look over that castle, there are black skeletons holding swords! They must be very strong!" A girl said excitedly as she pointed towards the castle.


    In the mansion's canteen, all the young men were around Evan as they watched the livestream of Ned venturing through hell.


    Until Ned killed a yellow fire-breathing monster and dropped a strange item he didn't know what to serve.


    "Is that!!!" Kitty Pride screamed in surprise.


    "What?" Kurt asked her confused.


    "That's the Blaze Powder I told you about! Damn it, so we have to go to hell to get that! I have to go to the bedroom to get diamonds fast, I want to fight the dragon!" Kitty said as she ran out of the canteen.


    But just as she was running through the cafeteria, she bumped into someone and fell to the ground.


    "Are you okay?" the person asked worriedly. "Don't run inside the mansion, it can be dangerous."


    "Miss Munroe, I'm sorry I'm not running anymore." Kitty said a little embarrassed as she scratched the back of her head.


    "Why is everyone so excited?" Ororo Munroe asked in surprise as he saw all the young people excited and arguing about something interesting.


    "This... this is a new game we started playing. It's a game that takes you to another dimension and has an amazing adventure, I was running because I wanted to go to hell and kill a fire-breathing monster!" Kitty said excitedly.


    Hearing these words from Kitty left Ororo a little confused. If it was just a game it would be hard to get these kids so excited, so, curious, she silently approached the kids and saw her nephew Evan's cell phone.


    On the screen was a small square man talking to the camera and fighting off some black skeletons, while every now and then he took a pickaxe and started breaking down the castle.


    She was having a hard time understanding what was going on until Kurt Wagner said something that surprised her.


    "Yes, I already told you, you don't need to be so afraid of dying, it hurts a little, but you can go back to the place you died and retrieve the items." Kurt said as he explained something to the younger boys.


    "But Kurt, last time a zombie ripped my arm off and I was really scared, it's really weird looking at your arm and not seeing anything." A boy said dejectedly.


    "Don't worry about it, after a while you get used to it, the first time I entered that world, I felt very uncomfortable not having my tail, but over time I got used to it, until a zombie ripped my leg off. ! It hurt a lot the first time, but as time went by I didn't feel it anymore, it's just that you always carry food in your backpack and it will grow again!" Kurt explained excitedly, causing the kids to be shocked at how brave he was.


    "Mr. Wagner, what do you mean by pain?" Ororo asked intrigued.


    Seeing that one of the teachers was listening to his conversation made Kurt a little embarrassed, but he quickly responded. "Don't you know Minecraft Mrs. Munroe? It's a game where you are literally teleported to another world, your body is sleeping in real life, but your consciousness goes to another world, it's magic!" Kurt said excitedly.


    But when he saw Evan's warning expression beside him, and the students around him, he realized he'd screwed up. He shouldn't have told the teacher about Minecraft, as she'll probably say it's dangerous and they shouldn't play.


    "This, but it's just a game..." Kurt said a little scared.


    But at this point it was too late, Ororo was worried about the students and instructed everyone to avoid playing this 'Minecraft' game for now as she was going to tell Professor Xavier about it.


    The students were sad because they wanted to go to the world of minecraft and invade hell, but they knew they couldn't disobey the teachers at the mansion.


    Ororo did not stay with the students for long and went directly to Professor Xavier's office.


    "Professor..." Ororo said respectfully after entering his office.


    There was both Professor Xavier and Hank McCoy and Logan. Apparently they were discussing methods for the kids to focus more on training and studies, as lately they weren't focusing much.


    "Yes Ororo, you arrived at the right time." Xavier said with a warm smile.


    "I'm sorry Professor, but this time I came to talk about something else, a danger the students are facing." Ororo said with concern.

    Alex was extremely happy. Minecraft was selling a lot more than he thought it would sell in the first week.


    [Minecraft ]


    [Units sold: 321 ($6,420)]


    [Average time played: 6 hours. ]


    [Peak of simultaneous players: 241 ]


    He had already sold over $6,400, which was equivalent to 32 Gaming Points!


    With that he could finally launch the game's multiplayer mode, which would definitely attract more players, as well as making current players even more addicted to the game, as playing alone was fun, but playing with friends was several times more fun!


    With a smile on his face, Alex sat down at the computer and started setting up minecraft's multiplayer mode.


    Using 50 Gaming Points, he bought a server that would support 5,000 people, which would be more than enough for the player-base now.


    First he activated a LAN Servers option, which would be free. On this type of server, as long as the two players had the game and were connected to the same internet network, they could connect to the same world together.


    Secondly Alex decided to add a mode where the player could buy a world online, the world would cost $1 a month and the player could invite up to 10 people to the world with him, if he wanted more slots he would have to buy separately.


    That was an idea that Alex had when making the multiplayer mode. As the game was made on a very different platform from his previous world, it would be impossible to get hosts for players to make their own servers, so in order to accommodate these people he decided to make a system to host himself. Players would have no lag at all, and would just pay a cheap price to play with friends.


    If someone wanted to make a big server with many slots, people would have to pay a lot more money, and then it would be up to the server owner to make the server profitable with the micro-transactions they chose.


    And finally, Alex decided to make some servers for himself, to encourage players to play the multiplayer mode, ie he would make some minigames on a server that players could join.


    The server name would be the name of one of Alex's favorite servers in his previous world.


    [Hypixel ]


    But he couldn't make many minigames with the features he currently had available, so he chose only two of the simpler but a lot of fun minigames he liked to play.


    [Build-Battle ] and [Hunger Games ].


    Luckily he didn't have to build the lobby manually, the only thing Alex needed to do was imagine what the lobby would look like, or rather, remember what Hypixel's lobby looked like in his previous world and tell the system to build it.


    With a smile on his face, after a few hours of setting everything up, Alex finally hit the [Test ] button.


    The dizziness he received the first time was gone, after getting used to playing this game it faded with time, so Alex just blinked and in the next second he found himself in the world of Minecraft again.


    But unlike normal, now he was in a medieval town, with a big purple portal facing him, around him he could see some stalls with Villagers that could sell some useful things to players.


    With an excited smile on his face, Alex headed for a Villager he had programmed.


    *Hrmm*


    The Villager made his usual sound as he made a screen appear floating in front of Alex.


    After changing the settings on the window a bit, Alex finally pressed confirm and felt a light come down on him.


    With a smile, Alex ran to the nearest mirror and found himself there.


    Instead of the standard "Steve" Skin that he had previously worn, Alex was now wearing a skin with a worn brown shirt, light gray pants and black shoes.


    He had made his own skin to match the name he would use in the game.


    Through the mirror, Alex could see a name floating around.


    [Notch ]


    That was the name he chose for himself, both as a form of admiration and an homage to the true creator of Minecraft.


    The Skin he had been made based on the original Notch Skin, the only difference being that instead of a long beard and a bald head, Alex changed to a bald beard and a head with long black hair.


    Skin was pretty simple, but Alex liked simple things, so he was satisfied with that.


    That was his idea, the characters Skin change would be free once a week on the Hypixel server, if someone wanted to change it before a week, he would have to pay $1 for each time it changed, resetting the time again.


    As players liked to be unique, Alex thought it would be interesting to allow players to change their appearance as well. The changed skins in Hypixel worked on all Minecraft servers, including SinglePlayer mode, so even if a player didn't like playing with other people, he would still need to come to Hypixel to be able to change his own appearance in the game.


    And when he came here, he was likely to be interested in one of the games. Those who are more violent could enjoy playing Hunger Games, and the more peaceful and creative had fun playing Build Battle.


    The server had a Vip system, where the player could pay to have unlimited Skin swaps, colored capes for the player to wear, and be able to choose the color of the name above their head.


    Nothing that would give you an edge against other players, but still allow players to support the game, and help the game earn more income.


    After testing the minigames, Alex was satisfied with what he had done and decided to quit Minecraft.


    Seeing that there were 298 players online in the game, Alex felt it would be a good time to notify that a new update had been released.


    ---


    Ned was very happy the last few days, and the big reason for that was that he got to know Minecraft.


    Minecraft was not only an extremely fun and innovative game, it was also the game that changed his life.


    From a high school student, to a streamer who had over 500 people watching him every day.


    Most Minecraft players got to know the game through Ned's livestream, so these people liked to see him play it from time to time.


    The money Ned was getting on the livestream was pretty good, in just a week playing minecraft he had made over $600, which for a kid who was still in school and just staying at home playing video games was amazing.


    But today something familiar happened.


    While he was using Nether's stones to make his castle even more intimidating, a screen appeared in front of Ned.


    [A new update is available, do you want to restart the game to update? ]


    Seeing this Ned was excited and without thinking twice pressed the button.


    [Yes! ]

    Restarting the game was a very quick process, so right after going back to the game's start menu, Ned was explaining to viewers what was going on.


    "The last time there was an update like this, the game had unlocked the option for people to livestream while playing, what will the game add now?" Ned asked viewers.


    [PParker: Maybe another dimension like hell? ]


    [Crawler: I think it might be new monsters! ]


    ...


    Viewers started making their own guesses, but when Ned walked over to the start menu screen, he was surprised by what he saw.


    [Minecraft ]


    [Single Player ]


    [Multiplayer - Available ]


    [Quit ]


    "Multiplayer mode is available!!" Ned yelled in excitement, making viewers as excited as he was.


    [PParker: Hurry, start playing, I want to know what it's like! ]


    [Crawler: Damn! I wish I could be playing, but my teacher forbade me... ]


    [PinkyPenny: I feel sorry for the comment above. ]


    [Randomviewer1: I feel sorry for the comment above. +1 ]


    [Randomviewer2: I feel sorry for the comment above. +2 ]


    [Randomviewer10: I feel sorry for the comment above. +10 ]


    [Randomviewer50: I feel sorry for the comment above. +50 ]


    Kurt almost cried when reading these comments, but curiosity about the multiplayer mode kept him focused on the computer screen while he waited for Ned to play.


    And Ned didn't let these people down. When clicking [Multiplayer ], another window appeared.


    [Hypixel - 15/5,000 ]


    [Create own server? ]


    Ned didn't want to create his own server, so without thinking twice he clicked on Hypixel and was teleported to that world.


    What he saw around him stunned Ned.


    Unlike the simple castle he was building, the buildings in this world were gigantic and very well made.


    There were very tall houses with beautiful roofs, small simple houses, stalls with villagers behind them who seemed to be selling something, and most attractive, a large purple portal in front of it.


    "That portal leads to hell?" Ned asked himself in surprise. He had never seen such a large portal, he even felt intimidated by it.


    Around it were 15 more surprised players looking at the big portal.


    Looking around, Ned saw that they all looked the same as he did, which made him a little uncomfortable. The only difference was two players who appeared to be girls, who had a female skin.


    But before Ned could complain about it, he saw a person different from the others.


    He was a player with long black hair, a brown shirt and gray pants. On the back of this player was a red cape with the face of a creeper that swayed in the wind. Above that player's head was a name.


    [Notch ]


    This made other players' attention shift from the portal to that player immediately.


    "Hey buddy, how did you change your appearance? And where did you get this cape, is it an item?" Ned ran and asked this unknown player. For some reason Ned felt that this cover made this player really cool.


    The player stopped and looked at Ned, before cracking a smile and pointing to a Villager, then he turned and continued walking between the houses in that place and disappeared out of sight of the players.


    Seeing the villager that this player had pointed to, the other players ran to that spot before a screen appeared in front of them.


    [Would you like to change your appearance? You can only exchange again after 7 days. ]


    Without thinking twice Ned began to change his appearance to a little darker skin, a yellow shirt and black pants, besides a crown on his head. It was a very simple look, but it already made Ned feel that he was different from the others.


    The other players also started to change their appearance, there were even two people who put on an outfit similar to Captain America's uniform and started laughing about it as they hugged each other.


    But Ned noticed that there was no cape for him to choose. Then he looked around and saw a gold banner with the word VIP on it.


    Curious he approached the flag and saw another screen appearing in front of him.


    [VIP Banner ]


    [The advantages for VIP players are... ]


    [Would you like to become a VIP? ]


    Ned saw that the price was only $5, so he paid immediately. He managed to earn a lot more than that while doing a livestream, so he didn't bother to become a Vip.


    Soon he chose a golden cape and put it on his back.


    When walking down the streets, the other players were surprised by this player's cape and also ran into the Banner before putting on their own capes to feel special.


    While they were doing this, the number of players in the Lobby increased a lot.


    Initially there were less than 20 people, but now it was getting pretty busy with apparently more than 100 people walking around the place to explore.


    "Let's play a game?" Ned asked the chat excitedly.


    Without him noticing, his livestream, which previously had only 500 people, now had more than 900 people, probably because of the novelty of this new mode.


    Initially it seemed interesting to see him playing alone in the world, but at some point it got a little repetitive, but now it was different, he was in a public place with over 100 people, and they were all square like him, but as weird as that was , for some reason people accepted it very well and started to feel that it was cute.


    ---


    While Ned was trying out Multiplayer mode, Kurt was on the verge of tears in his room.


    Multiplayer mode looked like a lot of fun, but he couldn't play!


    As he went to the cafeteria for dinner with the other students, he noticed that they all had the same frustrated expression on their faces, probably also wanting to play Minecraft Multiplayer mode, but because of the teachers they couldn't.


    Seeing how depressed the students were, Ororo went to Professor Xavier's office to see if he had discovered anything about this game, whether it was harmful or not, but when she walked into his office, Ororo saw that Xavier was apparently sleeping in his chair. .


    Concerned, she approached him quickly, but before touching Xavier, Ororo saw on his computer screen a square character running back and forth with a smile on his face.


    'Is he having fun walking around again...?' Ororo was shocked to see that Professor Xavier was apparently playing this game and having a great time.


    'Well... if even Professor Xavier is having fun playing the game, I think I can allow the students to play too.' Ororo thought cautiously, but she was curious why this game was so much fun for these people.


    'Maybe I should try too?' She asked herself confused.

    While the students at Mansion X were excited to know they could get back to playing Minecraft, Alex was flying around the Hypixel server and watching the players in Spectator mode.


    It was interesting to see how these people were acting, and strangely these people were like the people in his previous world. The way they talked, the way they acted, it was all very much like his previous world, which gave Alex a sense of familiarity with it.


    'It's like I'm still in my old world... there are even people with superhero skins hahaha.' He chuckled as he looked at some players who wore Captain America clothes. 'Is this a parallel reality? A world where there are wizards? After all, I can learn magic through the system, it would be a little weird if I was the only one who could use magic in the world... No, the system said there were mutants too, so maybe it could be a version that there are monsters in the world? Maybe it's a world like Solo Leveling.'


    But as he floated invisibly and watched the players, Alex noticed one player different from the rest.


    Having been playing Minecraft for at least a few days, most players were already used to the most basic things in the game and focused only on what's new.


    But there was a different person.


    A single player with long hair was just sitting in a lobby chair and watching the other players. Sometimes he got up and paced, but apparently uncomfortable standing, this player sometimes came back to sit.


    Curious, Alex decided to approach this player and try to understand him, after all, for a game developer, understanding his own audience was fundamental.


    Flying into an alley, Alex turned off invisibility and approached that player while looking at his Nickname.


    [Professor]


    "Your Nick will likely become valuable in a while." Alex said as he approached the seated man.


    The Professor was surprised by another person approaching him, the first thing he noticed was that person's long hair, which made the Professor feel familiar with this man. 'He must also be bald outside of this game.'


    "Like this?" Professor asked curious about the man's statement. He was normally used to always knowing the superficial thoughts of the people around him, but upon entering this world, he found that he couldn't use his own mutant powers, which on the one hand was a little uncomfortable, but on the other hand it was an experience. refreshing.


    Alex saw that this player did not understand what he meant and did. 'This player must be a noob.' Alex thought with a smile, happy that even noobs were interested in Minecraft.


    "Nicks like 'Black', 'White', 'Blue', 'Red', 'Happy', 'Sad' will be rare nicks in the future, as many people will consider using it as a nick, even 'Professor', as I believe other teachers will also think about using this as a nickname. Maybe in a few years, or even months, some player will contact you in order to buy your nickname." Alex said with a smile as he explained patiently.


    Upon hearing this player's explanation, Professor understood what he meant and thought this situation was interesting. He wasn't short of money, so he wouldn't mind money offers for his nickname, but having people interested in it made him feel good.


    "What about yours? Will yours also appreciate in the future? Notch isn't something I've heard before." Professor said with a curious expression.


    "Maybe in the distant future, but it's not something I can control." Alex replied without explaining why. He didn't want to say that he was the creator of this world and that probably when people found out his nickname he could value himself a lot.


    Professor was quite intrigued by Notch's answer, he really wished he could use his powers on this player to know what he was thinking, just like he always did with the people around him, but no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to use that , it was like he was a normal human in this world, just like the others.


    "What's your reason for coming to Hypixel?" Alex asked curiously.


    To answer that, Professor thought for a moment and didn't feel that there was any problem in revealing the truth about it. "Some students at my school were playing this game and I was worried that it might be dangerous, so I decided to test it out. I ended up finding out that I could walk in this world again, which made me really like it here. I'm not interested in battles against monsters. or other players, just being able to walk around freely and see people going from one place to another is a lot of fun for me."


    Hearing the Professor's response, Alex felt he could understand this man more. Probably a public school teacher who cared about his students, and from what he said about being able to walk, he was probably a wheelchair user, which made Alex feel quite proud.


    He thought Minecraft would just be a fun game for people, but finding out that wheelchair users could freely walk around here would probably be of great help for those people in the future.


    "I'm glad you liked the game, I hope your students have fun here, but don't leave their studies aside to play too haha." Alex laughed as he answered the Professor.


    While the Professor was happy to talk to a person just like him who also had the same insecurity with his own head (he thought Alex was also bald), Alex was happy to talk to such a unique player in his game that he gave some ideas very useful for future Minecraft development.


    The two chatted for a few hours, before Alex felt he should go out to follow the game's stats and see if there was anything he could fix.


    After saying goodbye to the Professor, Alex went down an alley again and disappeared out of sight.


    But what Alex didn't know is that this Professor he thought taught in a public school was actually one of the smartest people on earth. An Omega-level mutant with a Ph.D. in psychology who could read people well even without his own powers.


    As soon as Alex left, Professor began to reflect on the conversation he had with this other player.


    'He seems like a good person, but the way he locks Minecraft and Hypixel together, he's probably the creator of this world, or one of the creators and seems to be pretty proud of his work, especially seeing so many people having fun here. A force capable of making a parallel world like this one, he must be a much more powerful being than I can even imagine, but luckily he hasn't shown any hostility to humans or mutants, apparently he just wants people to have fun in the world. that he did... like a god!' Charles Xavier was shocked by the hypothesis he made.


    'Fortunately he likes people, if not, with the power he has, there would hardly be anyone powerful enough to go against him. I must remember his name, 'Notch', and always keep my guard up. Just in case, try to remain neutral, but if you have to choose between being aggressive or friendly, always be friendly.' Xavier thought as he nodded.


    'Now as to the confidentiality of this, I must keep all of this absolutely secret. If anyone finds out about this being, the world could turn to chaos...' Xavier was frightened by the possibility that other people would irritate this person by coveting his power.


    ---


    While Xavier had his internal monologue and was getting more and more scared, Alex was humming happily as he walked out of the world, thinking how nice it was to talk to a teacher after so long.


    He figured that this man must have had a lot of difficulties with the students, since even strong and healthy teachers had problems controlling children, he as a wheelchair person must have 10x more problems dealing with it.


    If Alex had known how powerful this Professor was, he wouldn't have thought that at all, but to Alex, 'Professor' was just a nice public school teacher.

    Looking at [Game Analytics ], Alex was shocked by the numbers he was seeing.


    [Minecraft ]


    [795 Games sold - $15,900 ]


    (Available for withdrawal: $9,500)


    [Average time played: 7 hours. ]


    [Peak of simultaneous players: 586 ]


    [Total earned on servers sold: $156 ]


    In just one day Minecraft had sold almost 500 units! That was an astronomical number that Alex didn't even dare imagine before! He thought that because of the Multiplayer mode launch, the game could probably sell 100 more copies in one day, breaking the previous record, but who would have thought that in just one day the game had sold nearly 200% of the total copies it sold. he had?!


    "These players are apparently very satisfied, as these new sales are likely to have come from players convincing friends to buy, or players making Livestream about the game." Alex tried to deduce where so many sales came from.


    'But that's not something completely incomprehensible, after all, I also only decided to play minecraft the first time because my friends convinced me in my previous world. These players are probably the same too, they may have seen Minecraft videos and livestreams, but because they felt it was very different and complex they may have avoided starting to play the game, but when they found they could play with friends who could teach they, they decided to buy soon.' Alex thought. 'And probably the most basic game modes available from Hypixel can greatly influence these people's choice, as [Hunger Games ] and [Build Battle ] were games that anyone could play.


    Not to mention that launching [Build Battle ] mode had greatly encouraged these players to enter Hypixel, as I hadn't yet added [Creative ] mode in Minecraft Vanilla, so the only place these players could pick up blocks infinite and building things freely was there.


    For people who liked more creative skills, this seemed perfect, making everyone feel happy with this new Update.


    Alex thought of things he could do with the money from Minecraft sales, but for now he decided to just let it accumulate a few points before he could cash out and do some other Update for Minecraft.


    For now, the hype around the game was enough to make sales remain constant, probably those sales that happened today were just a peak, and from tomorrow it would start to fall again until it stabilized at a lower value, but Alex already was satisfied with these statistics.


    ---


    In a hidden temple in the Himalayas, several monks practiced stick fighting. These people had given up their earthly life in order to serve the master of this temple, at least for a while before they could go back and satisfy their own desires with the things they learned.


    Some of these people had pure desires, other people in the future would do terrible things against humanity, but all of this was nothing unknown to the master who guarded this place.


    This master could be known by many names around the world, but his identity was always a secret, and what he could do was never revealed much either.


    The only thing that all the disciples knew is that the master was very powerful, to the point that hardly anyone on earth would have enough strength to deal with this master who apparently already knew everything.


    But while people trained and thought their master was omniscient, their master was actually amazed to come across something that even he didn't know.


    This master was actually a woman. Because of the magic she controlled, her hair had completely fallen out, leaving a smooth shiny bald spot on her head. As much as she had no hair and had lived for hundreds of years, she was still a very beautiful woman.


    But this beautiful woman was shocked as she held up a necklace made in the shape of an eye that glowed with a green light.


    "What is this? Why can't I see what's changing the timeline so much?" She asked herself scared.


    For some reason, today as she was doing her routine weekly timeline check, something started to change things a lot. Because she couldn't see the cause of this change very well, she could only see fragments of the result of this timeline shift.


    Fortunately, the changes that were taking place were positive around humanity, people who would once hate each other were starting to change to colleagues or friends, in this new timeline, people who once fought to the death, were now apparently reconciling and starting to become have fun together.


    This was unthinkable to her, as she knew it was their destiny to act this way and even fight to the death this way, but for some reason, there was a hidden force controlling things behind the scenes correcting the timeline of a way that humanity was becoming even stronger than it could have imagined.


    Battles that in the future could kill billions of people because of this new timeline were having completely different developments.


    "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" The Elder asked herself scared as she saw the timeline being messed up like this.


    But for some reason, despite using one of the Infinity Gems, she still couldn't see anything about the being that controlled this change in the timeline. It was as if this being was not part of this universe, but still continued to interfere in a positive way in everything that was happening.


    Frustrated, the Crone continued to use a lot of magic on the Eye of Agamoto to try to uncover at least one clue as to who this being so powerful was that it was changing everything in the timeline, and after spending 80% of her magic power, the Crone finally found out. a clue.


    [Minecraft ]


    It was the only word she could pick out of the jumbled timeline she was seeing. This was the thing she saw that had apparently initiated this break in the timeline, shifting into something she didn't recognize.


    "What is Minecraft?" She asked herself confused to see that the name was too simple. "Have humans discovered a way to mine other ores and craft new weapons? No, that doesn't seem to be true... Maybe the humans discovered Wakanda and started mining the Vibranium from there? It doesn't seem very possible either..." She started to formulate numerous hypotheses about this, but in the end she chose the most obvious answer to her question.


    "Google, what is Minecraft?" She typed into her computer curiously.

    The Elder was shocked to see her Google search result.


    [Minecraft is a magical game! ]


    It was her first internet search result, and it was a post on a site called Reddit.


    [Minecraft is a magical game! ]


    [Hi guys, this is my first time posting something on the /games subreddit. Last night I was bored and started looking for some livestreams to kill my boredom, but honestly I was pretty tired of just watching people play shooting games, or war games with Captain America.


    Seriously, do you only play games like this until today?


    Anyway, while I was looking for something fun to watch, I saw a livestream of someone I had never seen before. There were 1,000 people watching that live stream of a game called Minecraft. This is a game I have never seen before. Initially I thought it was another boring shooting game, but on thinking about it, the name didn't seem to fit with a shooting game, so I decided to give it a try and watched some of that livestream.


    That was the best thing I did on my night! The livestream was from a player named "NedTheKing", which at first I thought was just a random egocentric player, but upon entering the game, I saw a square character building a castle with his bare hands! That man had my respect, he always said that his dream was to be a king, so in that game he had the freedom to build a castle and fulfill the little dream he had, something that moved me a little.


    But what really surprised me is that I initially thought what I was seeing was some kind of CGI, or a game cutscene, but no, during castle construction, that square character was interacting with the chat, sometimes even even showing things that other people asked, like an interactive movie.


    This got my attention a lot, so I decided to send a chat message asking if he had anything else besides the castle, and to my surprise, he answered my question by climbing the highest tower of the castle and turning the camera away from the wall... Guys, the man had built a giant farm with several animals, while telling us that it was to feed the people of his kingdom!


    I asked where the people of his kingdom were and he told me he would buy the server so people could join when the castle was ready.


    I was kind of confused by this, as I didn't know how he would make these people go to such a magical world.


    Until he got a bit tired of building and went into [Multiplayer ] mode. There was a giant city there with hundreds of other people! All were gamblers who laughed and had fun while chatting and playing in the Lobby.


    Minecraft is magic! I just purchased the game and hope to participate in this magic with other players too. ]


    Upon finishing reading this great post, the Elder was alarmed. If she claimed to be the second most powerful magic user on earth, no one would have the courage to claim to be the first.


    So seeing that these people were apparently going to another dimension left her alarmed, as she believed that even she could not do something like this with so many people and give them so much freedom.


    Curious, the Crone searched for "NedTheKing" on google and found Ned's Twitch page, who luckily was Online now playing Minecraft.


    Looking at the number of spectators, the Elder was surprised, there were 1.4k people watching him playing this game, and the spectators were slowly rising, which meant that in a few hours it would be an even larger number.


    Looking at the live stream screen, she saw a small square man running in a square abandoned city.


    This little man held a stone ax as he opened a chest and began to laugh.


    "Guys, I managed to find a diamond sword! We're going to win this game!" Ned celebrated as people in the Chat cheered with him, saying he was very lucky and could finally enter the Ranking.


    The sword was Translucent Blue, which made it very beautiful and exquisite.


    After watching the sword, Ned ran to a place in the center of the map while looking at a compass and following the direction the compass was pointing.


    After three minutes he found another little square man, but this last one apparently had worse armor than Ned, and was much more tired than Ned, with the armor even having some flaws.


    "Looks like he fought someone else recently, it's just the two of us left, this is our chance!" Ned said excitedly to the chat as he ran to the tired man.


    The man didn't notice Ned until it was too late. Ned's sword pierced the man making him blink red, but no blood came out. This was a game measure to show that the other player took damage, but not to scare people who were afraid of blood.


    The man died to Ned with a startled expression, until in front of Ned a screen appeared.


    [Congratulations, player NedTheKing, you completed 37 wins and took third place for most wins on the entire server, do you want to appear in the Ranking? ]


    "Yes!" Ned said excitedly before being teleported back to the Lobby.


    There were hundreds of people there, some were eating fruit and talking, others were sitting on the floor telling stories, others were advertising their own servers in the Lobby. If no one knew what this was about, they would probably think this was a peaceful city from a distant world.


    But Ned didn't even pay attention to this, he quickly ran to the Villager side that sent them to Hunger Games matches and noticed that one of the villager's bodyguards had changed, it was a player in a yellow jersey with a little skin. dark, completely wearing very nice bronze armor that wasn't available in the game, and above the player's head was a name.


    [NedTheKing ]


    "It's me guys! I'm here too!" Ned yelled excitedly at his viewers, which attracted the attention of players around who looked at him in confusion, but after realizing that he had the same name as one of the Hunger Games Villager bodyguards, they soon understood that he was he had taken one of the Top 3 spots recently and was excited about it, making people come to congratulate him.


    The Crone watched all this with amazement, while watching this livestream she tried to open a portal to that dimension and try to understand how it worked, but as much as she was seeing the place, she couldn't locate it at all, not even she, one of the most powerful beings in the universe couldn't understand or locate this place, as if it didn't exist.


    But the Crone knew there was something else behind this game, and if she couldn't find anything about it, it only meant one thing, the person who made it was far more powerful than she was!


    This statement made the Ancient One uncomfortable, but with an open mind she decided to test this game called Minecraft, for the safety of humanity.

    "This…" Alex was shocked at the amount of sales.


    [Minecraft ]


    [1,321 Games sold - $26,420 ]


    (Available for withdrawal: $20,020)


    [Average time played: 7 hours. ]


    [Peak simultaneous players: 910 ]


    [Total earned on servers sold: $456 ]


    [Total won in VIPs: $3,960 ]


    [Available Gaming Points: 1]


    "Twenty thousand dollars... that's a lot of money... if I convert it to GP it will give a total of 100 GP that I can withdraw at any time... considering server and VIP earnings, 122 GP! I got rich !" Alex was excited as he began to dance back and forth in his little cabin. "Finally I can stop eating CupNoodles!"


    Alex really loved the taste of CupNoodles, but eating the same thing for two weeks was making him a little queasy.


    It had been a week since Minecraft Multiplayer mode had been released and Alex was avoiding looking at the game's Sales Stats to feel a surprise, but he didn't think the game's sales amount would more than double this week!


    "Following the amount of players making Livestream minecraft, in addition to word-of-mouth, the probability that the amount of copies sales will double this week is very high!" Alex was excited as he analyzed the game's sales statistics.


    "Today I will feast on celebration!" Alex said excitedly as he opened the system store and prepared to choose a good meal.


    [Shokugeki no Souma Hamburguer - 2 Gaming Points. ]


    Alex was looking at this option wondering whether or not he should buy it. If he converted the GPs to dollars, this burger would cost $400... it was a much higher price than he was used to paying for food, considering that each CupNoodles cost 0.05 GPs.


    "Today is a day of celebration, I should enjoy it." Alex thought hard as he bought this $400 burger .


    Looking at the packaging, it didn't look much different from the sandwiches he'd eaten in his previous world, but as he bit down, Alex could easily tell he felt an orgasm of flavors.


    "This is worth every penny…" Alex said as he panted after taking the first bite of that divine burger.


    While eating Alex even forgot the things he constantly thought about the game he should improve.


    But as soon as he stopped eating those thoughts came back to him again.


    He had an idea of


    something he could do to improve Minecraft to attract new players, and keep retaining old players as much as possible.


    ---


    Kurt and 4 more X-Men had decided to buy a Minecraft server and $1 . Initially they intended to buy a server for 100 players, to accommodate as many people as possible, but he figured that too many people in a world could just become disorganized, so he and the top X-Men had decided to buy a server just for them.


    The team consisted of Kurt (Nightcrawler), Kitty Pride (Shadowcat), Scott Summers (Cyclops), Jean Gray (Marvel Girl) and Anna (Rogue).


    They had formed this team to try to kill the dragon that existed in the game, they didn't know what the reward was for slaying the dragon, but they figured it would definitely be something very good, and the experience of fighting without their powers was something very new, which made the group's synergy evolve even more.


    Among the group of 5 players, 4 of them were extremely excited while playing minecraft.


    Scott was so happy to be able to walk without having to wear sunglasses all the time.


    Jean was happy that she didn't have to control her own powers within the game and was listening to other people's memories all the time.


    Kurt was glad he could have normal skin, not being a little embarrassed by the blue hairs that came out of him.


    And Anna was the most emotional person among them, as inside Minecraft she could touch other people without being afraid.


    Anna could tell that the happiest moments she's had in recent times have been inside Minecraft, especially being able to hug her friends all the time, it was something she had never felt before.


    She had purchased Minecraft because of Kurt's insistence that the game was a lot of fun. Unlike Kurt, Anna wasn't very fond of video games, but Kurt was so persistent and mysterious about it that she had no choice but to buy the game with some of the money she had saved.


    Upon entering the game, like any new player, she had been both frightened and amazed by this square and colorful world.


    Initially she just wanted to play this a little bit to make Kurt happy, but after starting to play it for the first time, she only realized that she had spent 5 hours playing it after Kitty poked her in the back in real life while she was in the game world.


    As Kitty knew Anna's powers, she only touched the part that had clothes.


    But Anna's surprise came the next day, when she logged into the "Hypixel" server to meet with Kurt.


    When she entered the server, Anna was a little scared and lost. There were hundreds of square people walking around near her, and she was too scared to touch anyone.


    But at some point she felt a hand on her shoulder, and worse, that hand had lightly touched her bare neck!


    Frightened, Anna pulled away from the person's hand as she looked back, afraid she had killed the person who had touched her, but unlike what she imagined, the person was perfectly fine, as if nothing had happened.


    "I'm sorry I shouldn't take your shoulder like that all of a sudden." The man said with an embarrassed smile as he scratched the back of his square head.


    Seeing that he was okay, Anna was shocked as she watched this man. He wore a brown shirt, with long black hair and a red cape that made him look like a hero in the game.


    "That... no problem, I just freaked out." She said a little shy as it was the first time someone had touched her and she didn't fall into a coma.


    "It's okay, it's my fault. I just saw that you were still wearing the Female Standard Skin and decided to show you where you can change your appearance. But if you feel uncomfortable there's no problem." The man responded with a smile.


    Anna looked over the top of this man's head and saw that his name was [Notch ], which was a name she had never seen before.


    "It's okay, you didn't feel anything touching me?" Anna asked, but soon realized the ambiguity of her words and added. "I say… aren't you feeling uncomfortable?"


    Notch was confused by her question and looked at his own square body before answering. "No? I feel like I'm perfectly fine, why?"


    Anna was shocked by this but responded quickly. "It's nothing, I was just worried that my fright had affected you."


    "Nah, I'm a tough person, it takes a lot scarier things to scare me hahaha." Notch replied with a smile.


    "Do you…do you mind if I try to touch you?" Anna was very curious about this, and couldn't help but ask. But right away she noticed the ambiguity of her words again and complemented it with an apology. "I mean, the game is very different, I want to see what it feels like to touch here, to see if it feels like real life."


    Notch raised his eyebrows at this and felt it was plausible, after all, even his previous world's most advanced VR technology couldn't reproduce the touch sensation like current Minecraft did.


    "All right." He said with a smile as he held his hand out to her.


    Anna realized that she shouldn't have asked this, as in case something went wrong, she could leave this man in a coma, but her curiosity was consuming the girl. This was her first opportunity to touch other people without feeling so guilty, and if it really worked, this game could change her life.


    Still a little apprehensive, Anna was about to give up touching this man, until he suddenly reached out a finger and poked her wrist where the skin was exposed!


    Anna looked startled at the touch, then turned to the man worriedly. But seeing how he had a smile on his face like everything was fine, Anna's heart suddenly sped up.

    Kitty was worried as she looked around the big city of Hypixel. Everywhere she looked there were hundreds of square people laughing and talking as they walked together.


    The problem is that the friend she was expecting had difficulties with crowds, so she even started to believe her friend had given up and left, but luckily after a few minutes she saw a female character who clearly belonged to her friend.


    Long reddish-brown hair with a white streak on each side while wearing a black outfit. It was definitely her friend.


    "Hey Anna, where have you been?" Kitty asked Anna after reaching her.


    "That…I was talking to a guy." Anna said with a smile as she reached out slowly and touched her fingertip to Kitty's arm.


    Initially Kitty was thinking about who Anna might have found, until she felt Anna had her finger touching her arm, which was a little weird, until she was extremely shocked as her eyes fluttered between Anna's finger and the her face.


    "Are you… are you touching me?!" Kitty cried out in emotion as she felt the touch of Anna's square fingers on her arm. Without thinking twice, Kitty opened her arms and gave Anna a big hug. "How are you doing this?! Have your powers been nullified in this game as well?"


    Anna was smiling as she answered. "Yeah, remember the guy I said I was talking to? He tapped my shoulder to show me where I could change my appearance and I was a lot more shocked than you!"


    "This is amazing! People will be very excited about this news! Let's meet them!" Kitty said excitedly as she took Anna's hand and led her to where the rest of the group was.


    Upon arriving where the rest of the group was, Anna was shocked by what she saw, all the other X-Men also had happy smiles just like her.


    Scott was very happy to be able to play without the glasses, Kurt was happy to have skin like other humans and Jean was happy not to hear the thoughts of anyone near them.


    After talking about their happiness at having their powers disabled in this world, the X-Men even forgot the main reason they came to this world, which was so they could play together.


    They didn't even remember it, and spent hours talking and exploring the Hypixel, until something caught their attention.


    All minecraft players saw a screen floating in front of them with text they had never seen before. Regardless of whether these players are playing multiplayer or singleplayer mode, everyone has received this notification.


    [New World Event! ]


    Curious, Kurt clicked on this screen and saw an explanatory text appearing in front of him.


    [World Event: Kill The Ender Dragon! ]


    [The world of minecraft is known for having beautiful landscapes with monsters of different species and dimensions, just as in the Overworld there are skeletons, in the Nether there are the Wither Skeletons. But have you ever wondered where the Endermans came from?


    This monster does not originate from the Overworld, but from a dimension called "The End", which is protected by a powerful Void Dragon.


    Now, the Villagers ask the humans for help in killing the mighty Ender Dragon.


    Players who kill Ender Dragon by the end of the event will receive a Limited Cloak with the Dragon's face, plus a key to use the large Hypixel portal for a different game mode!


    For those who fail to kill the Ender Dragon before the end of the event, they will no longer be able to receive the cape, but the key will still be available!


    On the altar next to the big portal in Hypixel there is a space for the player to place an egg, once an egg is laid, the player can choose 4 people to gain access to the new game mode as well.


    [Time remaining: 6 Days, 23 Hours, 59 Minutes, 46 Seconds. ]


    Kurt was shocked to see this ad. Previously they only had speculation about there actually being a dragon in the game, but now it has been proven that there really was one, and those players who manage to kill the dragon will be able to receive a Limited cape from the game's first event! Just thinking about him sporting this cape to other players in the future made Kurt's smile light up.


    "Hey, isn't this Dragon the one we wanted to kill?" Jean asked confused after finishing reading the game message.


    "Yes, that's exactly it, let's go to the server I bought, there I'll teach you the basics and we can start our adventure to kill this dragon!" Kurt said excitedly.


    "Let's go!" Kitty also squealed excitedly, as she had so much fun with minecraft.


    The other X-Men were a little confused by the sudden happiness these two were feeling, as this was their first time playing a game like this, and they didn't know the advantage of having a limited item from the first event of a game.


    If they had known that a cover like this could sell for tens of thousands of dollars, they would probably have been even more excited than Kurt and Kitty.

    Meanwhile, sitting in front of the computer was Alex, watching with a satisfied smile the players' reactions to the first event he was developing in the world of minecraft.

    Alex was watching with a satisfied smile the players' reaction to the first event he was developing in the world of minecraft.


    Alex knew Minecraft had a big problem. The game didn't have a 'Quest Line', meaning new players never know what the game's objective is and most just do what they want for a while before they stop playing.


    This issue was resolved in Alex's previous world after players discovered that there actually is an objective in the game, namely, killing Ender Dragon. But to kill Ender Dragon players needed to do a lot of preparation before that, and discover some items they didn't even know existed.


    So, as Minecraft already had over a thousand active players, Alex decided to speed up this process by encouraging players to kill Ender Dragon, which would make players research more about the game to understand how to progress, which would likely make a Wiki of game being created, in addition to giving a satisfying prize to those who succeeded, it would be one of the most successful mini-games from Alex's previous world.


    The Dragon Egg will be the first item that can be shipped between the Single-player world and the Multiplayer world. In Alex's previous world the Dragon Egg was of no use, but in his minecraft it will serve as a key that players will struggle to obtain.


    Alex had just killed Ender Dragon in Creative Mode, as he didn't have much patience to do that in Survival Mode, as it didn't even give him a good reward, but here it would be different, this would be the players' "first mission" , and Alex was excited to see how this would develop.


    So far, Ned's livestream was the best way to know how players would react to it.


    In his livestream there were 400 viewers, and while he was reading the message on his floating screen inside the game, some viewers with faster reads had already finished reading and were commenting on the chat.


    [What?! Minecraft has a dragon? ]


    [I can't believe... in a week whoever manages to kill the dragon will win a limited prize? I'll start playing now, bye guys. ]


    [Damn... I was still in doubt whether I would buy minecraft or not, but this event will be unique, I'll break my coin piggy and buy this game now! ]


    [I bought the game today, does anyone want to join me in killing the dragon together? I pay the server! ]


    [I want! Add me... ]


    [Me either! ]


    [I'm going to buy now, is there a problem? ]


    The players' reception for the event was better than Alex imagined, at this minecraft pace it would spread even more, and that's exactly what he wanted!

    Shuri was currently in the Wakanda castle laboratory while doing some research on Vibranium.


    Out of curiosity, she was researching how some ores interacted with each other, thinking about the possibility of using ores that could supplement Vibranium for her brother's costume.


    [Utilities for Obsidian. ]


    She googled to see if she could find any recent research with any findings that might be helpful to her, but unfortunately she was already on google's second page and hadn't yet found any new articles that might be helpful.


    Until just before she closed the site, a publication caught her attention.


    [Using obsidian to open a portal to hell. ]


    Shuri knew that technology was something that moved very fast, but even she, Wakanda's greatest genius, couldn't think of how to use Obsidian to make a portal, let alone go to "hell".


    This post made Shuri think this was just a post from some lunatic, but seeing that she didn't have much to do, Shuri decided to click through to see what it was.


    [Using obsidian to open a portal to hell. ]


    [Hi guys, do you remember that a few days ago players didn't know what Obsidian was used for? So, on NedTheKing's livestream it was proven that Obsidian can be used to make a portal to hell, and according to Minecraft news, there are some important monsters there to find Ender Dragon.


    For those who want to make a portal to hell, watch the video tutorial below. ]


    Shuri was a little disappointed, she thought it would be a post of a lunatic talking a lot of nonsense, but actually it was just a player divulging information about a game.


    Despite this, Shuri was a little curious to see what it was like. She had already tried the American games, but most of them were about war and destruction, which made her feel like it was too boring and stopped paying attention to it.


    But when she hit play, what appeared on her computer screen shocked Shuri.


    There was a square man talking to a camera in a very natural way, he was using a translucent blue pickaxe to constantly hit a very tough looking black ore, and after he hit for a few seconds, the ore broke and turned into a small block that floated on table position until man broke.


    Shuri didn't even realize that he spent 10 minutes watching this video until the man built the portal and went into a dimension that really felt like hell.


    But what shocked Shuri even more was when she started thinking about the technology involved in this. Unlike movies or games, everything she saw in the video looked real and alive, the human breathed very realistically despite being square, and the scenery rendering was perfect, even allowing her to see a mountain miles away. away from the man who was recording the video.


    Without thinking twice, Shuri googled Minecraft and found this game in the biggest game store in the world.


    The price was only $20, which for the princess of the richest country in the world meant nothing, but what surprised Shuri is that the file size was very small, the download was completed in less than 5 seconds.


    Initially she was frustrated thinking she had fallen for a false advertisement, but when she pressed to play, Shuri felt that her perception of 'Genius' was being destroyed.


    'The person who did this here is a real Genius.' She thought to herself as she started to play slowly.
