Minecraft: loading new world

I felt water splashing on my face which quickly made me open my eyes.

"Wha-whos there?"

"Oh you finally woke up, I thought you would be sleeping the whole night away."

"Solomon? I remember now, I was in your lab when all of a sudden I couldn't see anymore, then Violet screamed and then I got knocked out. Where were you? Violet didn't see you at all!"

"Glad to see that the potion didn't wipe out your memories as well. I have to say, Trader, you have quite the reputation from what I gathered. Not a lot of people know about you, but a lot of powerful people are scared of you. You came here almost two years ago with nobody knowing your name or what you were capable of, you befriended a man who is now the right hand of the future queen, and you somehow managed to find a cure for infected people which was thought impossible, captured together with a witch to be trained as a worthy teammate for the upcoming hero. Got blamed by the price for killing the Sultan, faked your death somehow even leaving behind a corpse, trained the hero as a hidden master, and when the Stone Kingdome failed to kill the Zombie Lord, you budged in, took control of everything, and killed it with only you and the hero, and that's what I managed to piece together from what my spy network managed to gather, and that's not talking about how you have some connections with the Witches Clan and a monster following you. I have to say Trader, this was truly fascinating to hear. Are you sure you're not from the future or something similar, because you seem to always be where the problem is"

I looked around the room that I was in and realized that I was in one of the prison cells that I broke into a few months ago, not only that but I was lying on my back chained down in an X shape not being able to move an inch.

"If I was from the future I wouldn't make this dumb mistake, what even happened?"

The Mad scientist started to laugh, before remembering something.

"Oh right, give me all your diamond tools and armor so you won't try to escape or something stupid like that."

"I don't see why I should listen to you."

"While it's true that I won't kill you, and I'm sure you'll eventually cave in after torture, I don't have to do that since I have something else to use against you."

"I'm listening."

I said that as I magically equipped the armor to tank anything that he'll throw at me.

"Well that's one way for me to get it, but do you remember that you didn't come alone in here."

"Violet!"

"Yes, your friend is truly a fascinating monster who has a strong soul that originates from the Enderman species. She is now locked in a room that I made sure she couldn't teleport out of, and I only need a bucket of water to make her experience agonizing pain without killing her."

How did he do that? I didn't know it was even possible to stop an Enderman from teleporting. But I don't think this was a bluff, otherwise, Violet would teleport and take me with her, no matter how painful it was.

So I took off my armor and diamond tools and placed them down beside me.

"That was a wise decision. As for how I did capture you, it wasn't easy unfortunately, I know you have some special abilities beyond what I could see, so I had to use some of the ancient ways to capture you."

As he talked he slowly walked around me before stopping at an obsidian wall.

"On the other side of the wall is your Enderman friend, she is now chained up in an obsidian room which their species can't normally teleport out of, but since she's also a special specimen, I placed a ritual in the room that also has the same properties. That's how I caught you two, I wrote down a ritual at the entrance of the third floor to detect any monsters that passed through there. I then wore a robe that should stop any kind of detection on me. I only had to send a few of my vexes to splash you with some potions and here we are."

So he was really prepared for us, I'm also curious about those rituals that he was talking about since I never heard about them, maybe that's how they keep stuff hidden from the System.

"Why did you expect us to come back?"

"You heard about our plan and escaped, of course you'll want to get more information. Also, you killed a lot of soldiers with that attack and made the general very angry. He was so angry that he almost executed me, but the fact that I'm too important and that we now have a new weapon helped me live another day."

"So what do you intend to do with me, what kind of information are you searching for?"

"For now I'll do a few experiments on my own, so don't try to scream too much."

Then he took out some dirt combined with blue powder from his inventory and made a circle around me, afterwords he took out a bowl with a red liquid and dipped the pen in before writing something in the circle and then on me.

I didn't know If it was blood or regular redstone ink and I was too afraid to ask.

I did have a plan that could help me get out, but it was a gamble to use, to say the least, so I'll stay for a while and see what he was looking for, if it got too painful I'll use the self-destruction option.

After I was filled with some unknown letters all over my body, the Mad Scientist went outside the cell and came back with a screaming pig in his arms

"Quickly kill it!"

From behind him, a small ghost appeared with an iron sword in its hands and quickly slashed the neck of the pig that was roughly the same size as it.

As I looked closer at it, I could see more features that I recognized, it had a mean-looking face with small demon wings coming from its back, and I could feel its desire to kill everything in sight.

It was a Vex.

"Good, no go check on the Enderwoman, I don't want to hear banging when she's going to wake up."

The Vex nodded its head, and phases through the obsidian wall like it was nothing.

The Mad scientist instead, placed the carcass of the pig down on the dirt line he made, and I could see how slowly the pig got mummified right in front of my eyes, and then only his skeleton remained.

This seemed to activate the circle and the inscription on me and I could feel like something was being pulled out of me and then I was on top of my body in a ghost form.

I slowly started to panic as I didn't have access to my inventory or status, and for some reason I couldn't leave the circle I was in, leaving me a ghost just floating in the air.

But I slowly noticed something, and the Mad scientist did the same, my soul took the shape of my old self, not the current one, which quickly intrigued the Mad scientist.

"Interesting, my monocle shows me that your body has the same structure as our ancestors which would explain how you are not limited to 7 levels on each skill, if you somehow managed to get it to 10 then you should get an achievement and have a meeting with the System. But from what happened in the past, I don't know if it's still possible."

He then took out a sample of my blood with a syringe, which was a weird sight to see, then he did a few more checkups on my body, especially on my face for some reason.

"As for your soul, it's more interesting to see, the shape of it is so wrong, why are you so skinny, and why don't you have any edges, and what's up with that stuff at the end of your arms? What kind of creature are you?"

He looked at me with an expression of wonder and disgust, which didn't make me feel comfortable.

"Everyone looks like this in my world, so imagine my surprise when I got here, let's not talk about all the laws of this universe."

"I mean you do look very different than I expected, but you know a lot of information about this world, so there could be a path where we could look like you. I'm curious, what's the System in your world like? Did you manage to change it like we did, is that why you look so weird?"

"We don't have a System."

The Mad Scientist stopped looking over my body and slowly turning towards me, with a frightened but excited expression.

This was not good.

"How did you kill the System in your world? And what was the aftermath of it after it died, why didn't you replace it with one made by your people?"

He shoots question after questions so fast that I couldn't even begin to answer them, and when he saw my hesitation to answer, he strated to threaten me.

"If you don't answer my questions, I'm going to kill this body and bound your soul to a chicken."

Can he do that?!

Why is this getting further and further away from the game origins! Or maybe this was in a future update?

"My world works on different rules then this one, we never had a System, we don't have a magical inventory, very few living beings have edges, and our planet is a giant sphere."

This seems to take him by surprise.

"Then how did you managed to reach such technical advances if you didn't have a System to inspire from?"

Oh boy, would everyone in my world loved to have a status tab that would tell them what's wrong with them.

"By trial and error, that's how we learned pottery, how to make glass and metals, then we build machines that could help us leave our planet."

He was genuinely curios asking more questions about my world, and I answered what I could, until finally he was satisfied with the new information I gave him and I could ask some questions.

"So why do you think I got here? I'm telling you right now, my home world doesn't know anything about otherworlds besides fiction."

"I don't know a solid answer but I could give you my theory. We know that the Void has the ability to brake space into otherworlds since that's how it got to our, maybe it did the same to your world and kidnapped your soul, build a body similar to my ancestors and threw you into this world either as a test or to wreak havoc into this world."

I don't rember anything about my journey to this world, and I'm very sure the Ender Dragon doesn't have that ability.

But then again, this world keeps proving to me that it's different from what I know, so it could be true.

"What about the hero? She came from my world and the System seems to be ok with her."

He seems satisfied with all the data he got and started to collect all of his instruments as the magic circle slowly lose it power, and I felt myself being pulled back into my body.

"So the hero is similar to you but different. Maybe the System knew about you so it made an avatar to fight against the Zombie Lord. I don't know how it could predict the future, but this leaves me with another question. What's stopping the Void from sending another Monster Lord, and whats stopping the System bringing more hero's?"

With those final words he left the obsidian cell leaving me alone with my thoughts on that he said.
