Minecraft: loading new world

I looted whatever was valuable from the bastion and used a teleporting square to get back home.

Once inside, I let out a big sigh and placed everything in this respective chest.

Then, I took out some iron ingots and began to tend to my golems.

While I could make others if needed, it wasn't an option I wanted to use.

Since Enchanting golems was hard.

I couldn't use a book to enchant them and be done.

Instead, I had to write the enchanting language on their iron skin, then go through a long process of waiting for the Enchanting table to figure out what exactly it was scanning.

And sometimes the enchanting would fail, making me look for the miniscule mistake.

For now, I had a full bundle bag of them, and it was enough to deal with anything that come my way.

With the golems heald, I put them back and went towards the surface.

On the way there I passed a few rooms that weren't here a few months ago.

Since I was stuck here for so long, I used that opportunity to decorate some more, making it more welcoming.

As I was progressing in the Crafting skill, I made a few additional rooms to test the new items, such as the block that would take out an item from the inventory.

I tried to see if I could make it portable or take more than one item, but with no success.

And the room where I tried the new weapons.

There were a few unique ones at level 8, but all of them were at iron level, making them interesting but not practical enough to replace the Netherite sword.

I arrived at the tribe that remained unchanged.

Since I decided to concentrate on training, I didn't go on a spurge to renovate this place.

Which was probably for the best, since the people here liked to live a simple life, and with my buildings it would become more than that.

I walked towards the giant tree and opened the door with ease.

I've been here so often, that I would feel uncomfortable if I had to knock on the door again.

The living room seemed to be empty, which probably meant that Blue was already in the basement doing some experiments with the Mad Scientist.

Not having any reason to wait, I went downstairs only to see Solomon working on one of his projects together with Alexa.

But no Blue in sight,

"Hey Solomon, where's Blue?"

"Huh? Oh, it's just you... that young man just left me alone and went on a date with his wife. Can you believe that? Why would he do something so pointless when he could uncover the secrets of the world with me."

I don't know if he was jealous that Blue found someone or annoyed that he's alone now.

As for Blue, he got married to Undying 5 months ago.

When we went to Bobby's wedding, they were in awe at the ceremony.

And Blue got the courage to ask Undying out when they arrived back home.

It was a funny sight to see, especially at the beginning when they didn't know how to act towards each other, but then it got annoying as they became more lovely and acted as a couple.

For some reason, it made me bitter, and Solomon had to suffer even more since he lived in their basement.

Poor man.

But I didn't trust him enough to be let out of leash.

"Of course, that's why I'm here."

Since Blue and Undying were gone, Alexa was supposed to watch over the Mad Scientist, but unfortunately, I didn't trust Alexa enough not to be persuaded by the Mad Scientist to join his side.

That is why the real guard was calmly sleeping in the corner of the room, unbothered by the noise we were making.

The guard was Hog Chop, who got very big in the past few years.

He is so big, that we needed to make a new entrance just for him so he could go outside.

He was pretty popular in the Tribe, which resulted in him getting lots of treats from everyone, making him more big than anticipated.

But his strength can't be denied.

Since he had so much mass, his attacks really hurt, and since he grew up with a potion maker, he was surprisingly strong against magic.

Most failed experiments ended up in his stomach, making him the most eco friendly trashcan.

"Finally some good news, I hope you brought a sample."

I smiled and put the chopped bits of the leader on the table.

"What's with this lump of coal?"

"I'm sorry, but the black flames were more powerful than anticipated, and this is the result."

"Tsk, and he was supposed to have minor fire resistance from the Withers blessing. Let's see if I can salvage something from all of this."

While the Mad Scientist complained a lot, he was actually excited, since this was something new to the world that not even the ancient civilization found.

And he would be one of the first to uncover its secrets.

"While you 2 have fun, I decided I'll be stepping into the Overworld."

Both of them stopped and looked at me with wide eyes.

"So you're finally going...do you think it's worth it?"

"I don't have a choice, I've been stuck here for 7 months. Even with my armor, I feel that if I stepped out of the portal I would be taken to the System."

"Hmm, it's possible, after all Skills are connected to your soul and shine like glowstone in the dark when you have one Maxed. I wish you good luck, but can I keep Alexa if you die?"

I gave a large smile while closing my eyes.

"No."

"I figured, good luck then."

With everything done here, I went back to the surface and enjoyed the view of the tribe one last time as I was getting back to my home.

Not the one underneath the Tribe, but the main one besides the spawn.

I was going back to my first home.

Even though the journey took a few hours, it felt like minutes passed, and once I was in front of the huge portal I was hesitant to make the big step.

I took a deep breath and looked once more at my Skill tab.

________________________________________

Those past few months have been very hard, but the results showed themselves clearly on my tab.

I reached the pinnacle of 3 skills!

I don't think anyone in history managed to get this far without meeting the System.

But today, I was going to overwhelm the System with my achievements so it wouldn't turn me down.

Then, it would came down to negotiation to not kill me and what I could get.

I drank a regenerative potion and took off my armor.

I didn't want to irritate it if possible.

Then I stepped into the Overworld.

Suddenly I felt three hooks into my soul, and all of them pulled me at the same time into a large white space.

In front of me, I saw a huge golden figure of an angel, and I had the sudden urge to worship it as a God.

You came back much quickly than expected, let's see what you achieved.

...

You're not the hero, you're that insufferable pest!

And you maxed out 3 skills!

The subject is out of proportions, I request for the admin to intervene.

The mighty angel suddenly disappeared, leaving me alone in the white plane.

"Did I....did I break the System?"

I'm not that easy to brake.

A voice spoke from behind me and I quickly turned.

In front of me stood being as tall as me with roughly the same shape.

But the colors were different, this System looked like molted gold constantly running, with the occasional circuit here and there.

I didn't feel overwhelming as the huge angel, but I did feel like the power was more condensed and pure.

The anomaly that invaded my world 3 years ago, we finally met.

"Uhhh, I greet the mighty System!"

I said that while bowing beautifully.

HAH, only now you show me respect? You didn't seem to have a problem cursing me a few years back.

I chose to remain silent on this subject

Silent I see, now why did you come here, while you don't have a normal life, I don't usually see you rushing to your death...at least not intentionally.

...

Aha, so you maxed out all the skills with the exception of Trading, quite an achievement. One that should be reworded.

Now.

Suddenly the pressure in the room increased until I could bearly breathe.

I didn't even try to stand up, I was on the ground trying to gasp for air.

As you can see, I can kill you right now, and you'll be gone for good.

Tell me, why shouldn't I do that after you brought such a wrecked being into my world?

I don't even want to know how you made it. And yet you spawned a seed of a God.

A slippery one like you nonetheless.

After a few seconds of silence, the pressure was gone, and I could finally breathe.

"That was a complete accident! I didn't know it would be sentient much less this powerful. And it's not like I did only bad things, I also helped the hero defeat the Monster Lords, and other Nation with their problems."

Yet you're also helping the Witches who are people punished by me, you're also bringing items from the forgotten past that should've stayed forgotten, and let's not talk about that annoying armor of yours.

It's so full of hatred.

Try again, convince me why I shouldn't kill you and be done with the plaything of THAT man.

Looks like the System knows more them me with how I got here.

Would it be generous enough to explain it to me as well?

But first, I had to convince the System that I shouldn't be killed.

I mean it didn't do this already, so that means it wants something from me.

I only need to know what that thing is, or make one myself.

"You need me to defeat the Wither."

Hahahahaha!

The System started to laugh out loud and the whole plain trembled.

You died last time you fought him, why do you think you have a chance of defeating him now?

"That's why I'm here for, to get an upgrade. And this should be urgent for you as well, since the Wither is trying to take over the Nether."

Why should I care about that place. I made it specifically becouse I don't want it.

"He's trying to become the System of the Nether, not the Ruler."

The System went silent and looked deeper within my soul like it was searching for something.

I see, so that was the secret weapon the people of the past spoke about.

I'll have to deal with it later.

But it's true, if the Wither manges to take over the Nether, it would try and attack me.

What did it see?!

Did it read my memorie?

Did it find out about Alexa?

No, it should be fine even if it found out. I can still teleport chests with soulsand to fight of the Wither and the System if necessary.

Plus, it's not like the System can afford to split it's attention.

It's hero's are not powerful enough yet, and if the Nether attacks, the End would surely join in as well.

So it would be in its interest to accept my help.

Ok human, what do you wish for?

I did it!

"Can you teleport me back to Earth?"

No.

Uff, this hurted more then expected.

"Why? You can sent back the hero's with no problems. You don't even need to teleport me now, you can do that after I defeated the Wither."

Calm down human, it's not that I don't want to send you back, it's just the one who brought you here has control over you, and I don't want to waste energy trying to wrestle you out of his hands, no mater how satisfying that would be.

So chose something else.

Again with the beeing from the End.

What was his problem.

He didn't even talk with me once!

In the end I could only sigh and went with plan B.

"How about..."
