8 Discoveries in the Overworld Trip 1 Exploration to the Cold Biome Today Oliver and I reached the top of a mountain in the cold biome It felt as if we were never going to reach the mountain’s peak but when we did we were rewarded with stunning views of our old hometown As we looked down at the town we both admitted that we missed home Oliver asked me Do you think we made the right decision I didn’t know how to respond I had been pondering the same question for a long time It was a hard decision to leave home to explore the Overworld but that was our dream We wanted to map the world so that others could follow in our footsteps We wanted to open up the Overworld so that everyone could enjoy it Oliver’s a map expert and also an alchemist He knows how to brew all kinds of potions and he’s also very good at spotting ingredients for them I’m more of a fighter A warrior A griefer once summoned an army of zombies and skeletons to attack the villagers in our town I helped protect our people and led the town to a victory I am not afraid to fight for what is fair But I never attack unless I’m provoked We were a good team together As we trekked through the snowy landscape another pair of explorers approached us I recognized one of them His name was Charles and he had spent some time in our village after one of his long expeditions I remembered asking him about the trip and all the places he had seen His travels had inspired me to become an explorer
Journal Entry Warnings 9 Charles I called out but whe he turned around he didn’t seem to recognize me Hello Charles’s sword was out he didn’t know if I was a friend or a foe In either case he was ready to attack It’s William I explained You spent some time in my town we talked Charles paused Yes I remember you What are you doing in the cold biome This is fairly far from your home I’m also an explorer Charles seemed surprised You’re an explorer But my friend Thao and I are the only explorers of the Overworld Well not anymore I replied but as these words fell from my mouth I realized they might have sounded a bit cocky So I guess I can say I wasn’t surprised when Charles and Thao came at Oliver and me with their diamond swords Ouch I shouted and rushed to strike Charles with my sword Why are you attacking me I discovered the cold biome and I am placing it on a map Charles roared as he slammed his diamond sword against my arm I was losing hearts dangerously fast Okay Take credit for this cold biome I could barely spit out these words Charles put down his sword I will destroy you if you continue to explore the Overworld We are the only explorers and we don’t need any competition I looked over at Oliver and he nodded his head
