I Woke Up In The Nether

An Unofficial Minecraft Survival Adventure

De: Riley Vex

Matthew Doyle knows the Nether. He knows the drop rates, the trade tables, the exact number of blocks an obsidian frame needs. He has read every page there is — and none of it is going to save him. At four in the morning he steps into a portal and falls asleep at his keyboard during the four-second warp. The transition never completes. The game never finishes building the frame on the other side: four blocks short at the top, no purple in it, no way home. He works out exactly what happened to him in his first hour, because he reads everything, and it does not help even slightly. Because nothing here is broken. There is no glitch, no curse, no author, no intent — every mechanic is working perfectly, and a correct Nether with a real body inside it is already hell.

There is no sky, only bedrock, so up is not a direction. Water evaporates before it lands. Compasses spin forever. Lava is an ocean. And beds explode, so Matthew is never going to sleep again — and the exhaustion starts the moment he arrives. Then he meets Toby Larkin, who has survived down here long enough to stop counting, and who has never played Minecraft in his life. Toby calls the ghasts the crying ones, the piglins the traders, the blazes the ones that pray. His names come from watching. Matthew's come from reading. Toby's win every time. Together they will barter, cross the soul sand, raid a fortress, and build a portal — and learn that knowing every rule perfectly tells you exactly one thing: precisely how doomed you are. For fans of Trapped in a Video Game and Goosebumps. The accuracy is the horror.
