CH VII: All According To Keikaku.
"...Enough complaining, let's just get a flint and steel so I can light this thing up."
But, no one could have possibly expected what came next. As he was making his way back to his portal, suddenly, out of nowhere.
Another player appeared.

●P.O.V: Theo

◇Flashback◇
'Clearly, I won't be staying here much longer. Minecraft is a game where the player's input decides everything. Even if the NPCs pulled a Yggdrasil, I doubt they would have so much input over the game. Unless of course, Steve and Alex exist here and I'm overthinking. But, it's entirely possible for there to be someone else here. How else could I explain not only a looted ruined portal, looted pyramid, random decaying leaves, and mining holes that I didn't create? There is no such thing as such a big coincidence... And everyone knows what happens when Minecraft players simulate civilization so I'm not even going to go that route... Wait. There's no way right?' I thought as a looked at a certain item on the ground. 'That makes more sense than Steve and Alex existing... I should have expected this... I've never just randomly mentioned Dream when I survive on my last heart.'

"*Sigh* This is bullshit. Couldn't it just have been Steve and Alex... How did the fucker even die? And how did I not notice his death? Ugh, I should have expected this far sooner. I didn't even get the 'Your Respawn Point Has Been Set' message when I went to sleep."

●P.O.V: Third-Person Omniscient
With his reflexes trained from playing games all of his life, and the eyesight of a Call Of Duty Warzone player, he managed to see the player attempting to flank him and quickly jumped and got a critical attack with his sharp two diamond sword. He went in for another attack but the assailant had already put up his shield.
'So he knows how to PvP a little. That's good. Let's bait him out a bit.' Thought Theo
And so Theo put his shield down for a second to test him. But...
'He didn't attack, what a shame, he put his shield up so fast I thought that he might actually know how to PvP...' He almost said aloud disappointedly.
With this in mind, Theo quickly built a wall between him and his attacker as a distraction so he could build a pillar. And then, as Khampai approached and began to build up as well, Theo jumped down past him, turned around, hit him with his diamond sword, grabbed his water bucket, and then water bucket clutched in one smooth movement that resembled the way Doctor strange when he looked into the future in infinity war(or was it end game?). All of this made him get dangerously low. The first four hearts he lost to the first critical attack, followed up by a swift second crit, and then two hearts he did heal was lost to the fall damage. This left him on just two hearts. Meaning he couldn't even Ender Pearl away even if he had one.
"What the fuck?!" Said Khampai as he held up his shield in fear of dying. He barely had time to even think!
"I guess you're the bad one of your group?" He said chuckling. "Holding up a shield won't stop me from shitting on you." As he finished the sentence, he remembered that he was holding both his shield and a totem of undying in his offhand. So he decided that the best way to kill him quickly was to not hold his shield up and rush him.
And rush he did. With the strats of a hardened UHC player, he quickly made his way to Khampai in just a second or two. And then he quickly jumped around Khampai and tried to attack him, but all he did was break his shield and got hit. But unfortunately for Khampai, he knew tech that made PvPing with a sword and ax too easy. To avoid the recharge time of his ax, he threw out his ax, attacked with his empty hand, and switched back to the sword that had a far faster recharge and killed him with a normal attack.
"Hah! Too easy. Give me the loooooot." He said in euphoria of finally being able to do the tech he came up with long ago.
He was then disappointed by the few items the guy brought with him to the fight.
"Cheap fucker." He said under his breath.
With that news, he decided that he should get all of his potentially useful items and speedrun the game and hopefully go home.

●P.O.V: First Person
Time Skip: 250 ticks(Basically 15 minutes. Because 1k ticks is an hour, and 500 ticks are half an hour... Why am I explaining. I'm the idiot, not you guys.)
"No Josh, I can't stay, I have to speedrun." I said for the umpteenth time.
"But you'll die! What if you die to the dragon or something? You don't even have to go." Josh said, yelling time.
"But I do. Gotta kill the momma dragon and all. Kinda in my job description." I said with finality. "Besides, I'm so good at combat that even the god of war comes to me for tips."
"Bu-"
"No buts, I don't have a choice in the matter. I'll come back if I can." I say while walking away, equipped in my armor.
'I just wish I didn't have to re-enchant the diamond armor that I bought. Damned capitalists. *Sigh* Let's just speedrun, no use crying over spilled milk.' I thought as I made my way back to the portal with my prot two diamond armor.
"Those 'hunters' won't even know what hit them." I said with what would be a feral smile if I could express it.
