Greetings.
I am a man in a suit who has fallen into the world of Minecraft.
Two episodes ago, I improved the village and built the frame of a Nether portal.
And last time, I wandered into an Ancient City underground and was defeated by the Warden.
The Warden was frightening.
Normally, I would want to stay quietly at home for a while.
But near the village, there is that obsidian gate.
A purple doorway to a world I have never seen.
…I want to see it.
So this time, I am going to the Nether for the first time.
Let me say this first.
The suited man lost everything.
Preparing at the Village Storehouse
Before entering the Nether, I first prepared in the village.
A Japanese-style storehouse now stands in one corner of the village.
The storehouse and the Nether portal are side by side.
Somehow, the village suddenly feels more like an adventure base.
Still, bringing every treasure I have collected into the Nether would be dangerous.
The Heart of the Sea, Echo Shards, diamonds, emeralds.
Anything I would hate to lose goes into storage.
Oh…
Looking at it this way, I really have brought back many things.
The Heart of the Sea I found in buried treasure stays in the storehouse today.
Do not carry important items everywhere.
The old man has learned a little.
This time, I will take only what I need.
Diamond gear.
A diamond sword.
Flint and steel.
Torches.
…It looks strong enough.
At least from the outside.
Standing in front of the portal, I suddenly became nervous.
An obsidian gate.
Beside it, a sign telling me to be careful.
Yes.
I will be careful.
Probably.
One click with the flint and steel.
Purple light appeared.
It finally opened.
Beyond this is a world I have never seen.
My First Look at the Red Nether
When I stepped through the portal, I arrived in a red world.
It was dark, yet bright.
Wide open, yet terrifying underfoot.
And in front of me was a sea of lava.
Oh…
This is incredible.
It is completely different from the overworld caves, and completely different from the Ancient City.
Red.
Hot-looking.
If I fall, it feels like everything ends.
Actually, it probably does.
After moving a little, I looked down from a cliff and saw lava spreading below.
This is clearly a place I should not approach.
I can tell just by looking.
I can tell, and yet I want to look.
The Nether is frightening, but I cannot take my eyes off it.
Then I saw a large white creature floating in the air.
A Ghast.
Large.
And far away.
It feels as if it is looking at me.
Please do not.
The old man has only just arrived.
Farther ahead, I found Zombie Piglins holding golden swords.
Zombie Piglins.
It is my first time seeing them this close.
They are not rushing toward me, but just seeing those swords makes me tense.
If possible, please let me pass peacefully.
I am only here for sightseeing today.
Though it is far too red to feel like sightseeing.
Across the lava, I could also see something dark that looked like a building.
Is that…
A Nether fortress, perhaps?
Something like a path in the distance.
Something like windows.
And another Ghast nearby.
The Nether has too much information.
There are so many things I want to see.
But below me is lava.
Above me is a Ghast.
In front of me are Zombie Piglins.
This is beyond the suited man’s processing power.
I Got Carried Away and Lost Everything
This is where I should have gone back.
My first Nether visit.
I saw the red world.
I saw a Ghast.
I saw Zombie Piglins.
I even saw what looked like a fortress in the distance.
That was enough.
But I wanted to see just a little more.
…That was the problem.
Ah.
This is bad.
My health is already very low.
A Ghast fireball is coming.
I have a sword.
I am wearing diamond gear.
But frightening things are still frightening.
And even the place I want to run toward has lava.
Thin footing.
Fire nearby.
Slow decisions.
None of these conditions are good.
Ahhhhh.
I fell.
This is the bad kind of falling.
Hot.
Painful.
And my items are in trouble.
Diamond gear.
A diamond sword.
Torches.
So many things.
All of them are in the lava of the Nether.
You Died!
`ojicra67 tried to swim in lava`
It says I tried to swim in lava.
I did not swim.
I sank.
And this was a total loss.
The full diamond gear I prepared in Episode 20 disappeared into the Nether.
For a moment, I thought I had become stronger.
Then I entered the Nether and immediately lost everything.
Minecraft shows no mercy.
When I respawned, I was back in the village.
My hands were empty.
Nothing.
No armor.
No sword.
No torches.
The blue diamond gear I had just been wearing is gone.
But the treasures I left in the storehouse are still safe.
That, at least, was truly good.
I want to praise myself a little for not bringing the important things.
Still, a total loss is a total loss.
It hurts.
I lost everything.
…But I saw the Nether.
The red world.
The lava sea.
A Ghast.
Zombie Piglins.
Something like a Nether fortress in the distance.
It was frightening.
But I saw it.
Next time, I have to recover from this total loss.
With the things I left in the village storehouse, I need to prepare my gear again.
The suited man is starting over almost from nothing.
That is all for this time.
Greetings.
