this world was not always like this

it started as a normal singleplayer world

he built something

they thought it was nothing

just something people used to do back then
a joke
a ritual that never worked

but something answered

not what they expected

it did not appear all at once

it changed things slowly

first, small things

doors open
blocks moved
footsteps with no player insight

then the world changed

the game no longer paused

time continued even when it should not

then chat appeared

messages from players joining

the world became multiplayer

they were copied

every player that entered after

was not alone anymore

something watched them

learned them

copied them

the copies are not perfect

they stand wrong
they move wrong
they wait

some of them remember

those are the ones that hide
the ones that run
the ones that cry

others forgot

those are the ones that wave
the ones that welcome you
the ones that stay

they are not helping you

they are part of it now

the thing that was summoned does not have a form

it uses the world

it uses the players

it uses you

it learns from what you do

every movement
every action
every place you build

it remembers

then it repeats it

but wrong

you may see yourself
you may see steve

that is not you


it is never you

do not follow it

do not trust the chat

some of them are not players

some of them never were

if you see something standing still

do not approach it

if something greets you

do not respond

if you hear something behind you

do not turn around

there is no leaving

the world does not stop

it only waits

you are not the first

you will not be the last

if you digged this far

it has already seen you

and it is already taking control
