Minecraft: loading new world

Water was all around me, fish and squids were swimming all over the place not paying me any attention.

The deeper I went the more pressure I could feel on my armor, but it was too sturdy to affect me in any way.

I arrived at the crack of the ravine, already seeing ores shining through the darkness like they were precious gems.

I took out my silk touch pickaxe and got to work.

Where there was iron, I was there, if I saw the shining of the gold, nothing was left behind.

But as I swam deeper into the ravine I slowly started to notice something.

At first, it was one or two drowned zombies with iron tools.

While unusual, It did happen from time to time that monsters would spawn with equipment, but most of the time it was picked up from the ground.

I went deeper and started to see some books that didn't belong in the sea, such as brick stone, and wood, and finally, in the end I saw the cause for all of this.

A huge broken dome of glass was in front of me with a base inside it.

Water was pouring inside like a waterfall, but because of the physics of this world, It didn't fill more than three blocks.

A ruin was always something good for me, and now that I needed a few resources for myself, I couldn't ask for something better!

I went down the waterfall and looked in amazement at the dome I was in.

While broken, it was still an amazing sight to see, making me wonder if I should make one for myself.

I turned my head towards the base made with colored concrete.

It was huge in an H shape with rooms of different sizes.

I swam towards the iron door and minded, which led a flood to appear in the building.

Before anything valuable could be destroyed, I quickly covered the hole letting the water disappear at speeds visible to the eye.

Zombies, skeletons, and spiders were in the hallway, but nobody seemed interested in me.

Is this how a witch feels every night?

I could get used to it.

I walked from room to room hoping to find anything useful, research notes, precious items, anything!

But there was nothing I could find.

The chests were filled with useless items that I didn't need, and the most annoying thing was the lack of ores in the storage.

"Was this place already looted, or the System was angry specifically with this one?"

I walked some more, not getting any results until suddenly I stopped In place.

On the side, I saw a staircase going down, but what caught my attention was the fact that obsidian appeared on the walls instead of white concrete.

Not only that, but once I got closer I saw red writing on them.

It was high-level Enchanting on those blocks, just like at the Witches Clan.

I quickly put my Enderchest down and took out my notebook with all the research I had done.

"Let's see, this one is stealth.... but it's longer than normal which means it's level 2 at minimum. And this one is...evasion? Is it all related to stealth? No, this one says is Connect 2. It must connect with the other blocks to have a stronger effect."

All the other obsidian blocks had the same enchantments on them, making it pretty impressive.

I went further down the tunnel with my sword and shield out ready for anything to attack me.

But the only thing greeting me was silence and darkness.

After some walking, I arrived at the end of the tunnel and was taken by surprise once again, as the wall in from of me was made with Netherite blocks.

"This is...they must really want this place to be hidden if they used so many resources. I wonder what's inside."

I checked everything in my inventory in case I somehow died instantly.

I had the Undying Totem with me, the invincibility potion, and a God apple.

I don't think I could be any more prepared then this.

I pressed the button on the side and the four Netherite block retracted like a door.

On the other side, I was surprised at how little the room was.

But what was in the room was shocking nonetheless.

The room was all built with enchanted obsidian blocks like in the hallway.

In the middle, there was a huge iron table with a weird fish skeleton and different kinds of ores enchanted sitting on the side like computer parts.

On the side, there were a few chests and a huge poster on the wall.

"What is this place?"

I looked around the room some more in case there was any traps that I didn't see but there was nothing.

"What do you think of this place Violet?"

I tried to ask my friend's opinion, but no response came.

"Violet? There's nobody in here you can reveal yourself."

Then it hit me.

I had to cross the sea to get here, of course, she wouldn't be here with how much water hurts her.

With a sigh, I took off my helmet and put on the monocle to see if something was hidden.

As soon as I did that, I threw the monocle away and started to throw up.

Whatever those enchantments did, was more than simply hiding this room, through the monocle I saw the room spinning like I was in a hurricane, I felt worse than if I used 10 ender pearls one after another.

I stayed on the floor for a few minutes to calm my brain, before getting up and truly start looking at the room.

Three main things got my attention.

The huge poster on the wall, which had the schematics of a special dome made with obsidian and lapis block all heavily enchanted.

On the side, was a smaller picture with a guardian and its inner workings.

It seems to be made out of flesh and machine, which I would categorize as a cyborg.

The schematic was amazing, and it was clear this was the underwater temple where the fake System resided.

Unfortunately, it didn't say where it was or how to get in without being attacked by the guardian.

On the table, there was a huge skelton in the shape of a fish.

There were a few things inside of the skeleton, such as a Netherite ingot in the place of the heart, connected with blue wires to what I could assume to be the eye of the guardian.

The eye was there as well, all artificial with enchanted quartz, Redstone, and diamond.

It was fascinating to see, and I wondered how it wasn't taken by the

System yet.

It was an interesting thing to see, but I didn't destroy it, since I didn't know if I could put it back tougher or even have enough space in my inventory.

Finally, the last interesting piece from this room is a double chest.

I quickly opened it and I already liked what I was seeing.

A few blocks of diamond, a few Netherite ingots, a journal, an enchanted trident, but most importantly a map towards the water temple.

"Now this is the good stuff."

I quickly took everything from there and looked through the journal, and was surprised that pieces of information weren't missing.

Test 235

The cow bones weren't strong enough to hold the muscles of the guardian, and they were too dense to comfortably swim in the water. For today's test, we used phantom bones reinforced with copper wire.

Test 250

The eye of the guardian seems to be the hardest part to project, the iron is too heavy and doesn't resonate well with the laser mechanic, so we decided to use quartz even though it is more fragile than iron, it should resonate more with the laser function.

Test 400

The phantom bones seem to give the best results, and the squid muscles are doing wonders with the mobility of the guardian. The project is hard, and I don't envy the ones that have the Elder Guardian as their project. We are almost at the end, I can feel it.

Test 535

It's finally done! The perfect guardian was created! Its laser has the power to destroy low-tier bloks and even give a knockback to a person holding a shield. Not only that, but it can swim as fast as a man can sprint, it can take damage similar to the iron beast, and its main source of intelligence it's the project NEW BEGINNING!

The best part it's that it won't be alone, it would work similarly to a hive mind and nothing would be able to pass the security.

Our work is done here, and I even got a promotion to work on the Elder Guradian project.

What an amazing day.

The guardians sound more dangerous than I expected. No wonder it wasn't found until now.

The more I read about the test done to create this beast, the more impressed I was, but also scared.

But now I have a map towards the temple, a trident that should help me navigate more easily through water, and even a warning of what to expect.

This mining trip was much more valuable than anticipated.

I even got enough diamond blocks for the ship.

Now I only needed to get the iron, which luckily was much easier now, with my new trident.

I explored the ruins once again in case I missed something, hoping to find another map towards the Elder Guardian project or maybe an underground tunnel.

But no such luck, not even a portal room that I could use.

"Well, it's better than nothing I guess."

With that, I started to swim up the waterfall which was harder than expected.

I had to take a break once I was back in the sea with how much I swam.

"Ok, let's see how this thing works."

I had the trident in my hand, there were 2 enchantments on it, Riptides and Mending.

"In the game, you needed to throw the weapon but also at the same time to not let it go, so it can drag you across water."

The first test was to fake throw it.

I arched my hand back and threw the weapon but didn't let go.

There was a reaction.

I could feel the weapon pulling me, but only by two blocks, a far cry from ,what is supposed to do.

In the second test I threw the trident normally, and as I expected it didn't drag me after it.

But I did find out I could throw further underwater then I normally could.

My final test which I hoped to be the correct one was somewhere in the middle.

I would throw the trident, but catch is right as I let it go.

I arched my arm back and threw the trident as hard as a could only to quickly catch it back.

I felt my arm being pulled all of the sudden, them my whole body was moving forward at great speeds.

The water tried to drag me back, but the force was to powerful for me to stop.

In an instant I was 20 blocks away from my original spot.

"Wow, that was amazing. But my shoulder hurts now, I'll have to get used to it."

I tried a few more times to get use the feeling and discovered a few thing's.

The force of the trident seems to scare or attract the attention of marine life, even if they don't see anything because of my armor.

And I could travel faster and further away If I spin while I'm in the thrusting motion.

It's so good, that I can travel 30 blocks in an instant.

Unfortunately it's very hard to do that constantly since I get dizzy after every use.

The trident was pretty fun to use, and I can't wait to get the chance to use it on a rainy day.

I travelled around the area looking for more places to mine or hopefully another ruin.

In the end I only found enough iron but no ruin.

Satisfied with what I had I used the trident to get back on shore.

Tired, but happy with this night, I went to bed to get some rest.
