Attack on the Overworld: An Unofficial Overworld Adventure, Book Two
2 Attack on the Overworld how to plant and farm and mine for emeralds and fight off monsters which were also known as mobs This was our life Maison lived in well I don’t know what this world was named But things came in all different shapes and her mom worked as an architect instead of a farmer or miner and they traded green stuff known as money at stores instead of making their own things Maison went to a place each day called school instead of going to school I mainly worked with Dad and learned from life experiences Our worlds also had different things to do for fun I liked to ride on pigs using carrots to make them run Maison liked to play baseball a game she was trying to teach me But I just can’t get the hang of using sticks to hit balls instead of using sticks to build other things like swords I didn’t know her world even existed until I found a portal out to it She’d known about my world but she thought it was all a make-believe place on a game called Minecraft She’d made a special portal in the Overworld while playing the game and when I was attacked by a giant spider I’d had no choice but to jump through the strange portal I’d stepped out of her computer screen and into her world changing both our lives forever It had all been pretty amazing at first finding this world with different shapes and different people They even had things on their hands called fingers which I secretly thought looked like little squid tentacles Don’t
Attack on the Overworld 3 tell Maison I said that because she got offended the last time I mentioned it But things got scary fast because the portal allowed zombies giant spiders and a creeper to get out as well They attacked the school Maison and I fought them back and then built a protective house around the portal in the Overworld so the mobs couldn’t get to Maison’s world again Even though Maison had never seen real zombies or giant spiders before she hadn’t panicked She’d stepped right up to the battle and together we saved the school So I knew Maison was pretty brave That meant that if she was scared about something I was scared about something What is it I asked her now Here she said It’d just be easier to show you She took me to her computer which was just sitting there looking like any other computer in her world We were the only ones who knew it was also a portal to the Overworld Did you open another portal I wondered Maybe she’d accidentally opened a portal to the Nether which was a pretty scary place Or maybe she’d found an even scarier world neither one of us knew about Anything was possible No nothing like that she said her squid tenta cles er I mean fingers typing quickly The screen changed and I knew this was some kind of a website she was showing me Besides teaching me a lot of new words Maison had also told me about things she had in her world like websites
4 Attack on the Overworld In the Overworld we had things like walking skel etons and Endermen and baby zombies that rode on chickens In Maison’s world there wasn’t anything like that but they did have computers where you could find out anything with a few clicks of a button You could even watch a video another word I’d learned from Maison that showed you real things that had happened even after they had happened There was a video on top of this webpage A single page on a website was called a webpage which I guess made sense When the video started to play it showed a grown woman holding a microphone and talking to Maison who looked a little awkward Welcome back to our nightly news program the woman was saying I’m here interviewing Maison an eleven-year-old local hero who saved her middle school Now Maison has it been solved why all those zombies and spiders attacked your school Um no Maison said not wanting to admit what was really going on Maison and I had agreed it would be safer for both our worlds if other people didn’t know about the computer portal No one has ever seen anything like it the woman said An unprotected middle school full of children sud denly under the onslaught of vicious monsters wanting nothing more than your utter destruction She’s kind of dramatic-sounding I whispered now Shhh Maison whispered back to me Yet in the midst of your panic you took charge the woman on the video continued How did you find the courage
Attack on the Overworld 5 Sometimes life doesn’t really give you a choice Maison said in the video Sometimes you just have to do the right thing Profound words from someone so young the woman gushed in response There was also a young boy who was there helping you Witnesses said he looked like a Minecraft character and they said that you intro duced him earlier as your cousin Stevie Some other witnesses reported that you said in the auditorium that he really wasn’t your cousin but someone who came out of Minecraft Which of course is impossible And when I talked to your mother Maison she said you don’t have a cousin named Stevie Can you clear this up for us Now Maison really looked uncomfortable in the video I felt bad for her Well I think there was just some misunderstanding she said to the woman Things were pretty crazy with the school under attack and all that and sometimes people get their details mixed up when big stressful things happen The interview went on for a couple more minutes with the woman insisting over and over that Maison was a hero and Maison looking like she was enjoying this and embarrassed by it at the same time Then the video ended So what’s so scary about that I asked after a moment Well being on camera was kind of scary Maison said It was a live interview which means it was playing on TV right when I was talking to her But that’s not what I want to show you Look She scrolled down lower on the page and my eyes widened
