D3rlord3

On September 1st, 2025, a player named d3rLord3 began exploring the world and mined into a cave whilst creating a strip mine, only to discover unusual world generation with large patches of moss and unusually shaped trees. At the end of the cave, d3rLord emerged into a huge, open cavern covered in moss and large trees. After briefly exploring the cavern, d3rLord entered a tunnel made out of mud and started to walk down it until he turned around and noticed a pair of torches behind him had been broken. After a few short seconds of walking, he turned around again to see another pair of torches gone before suddenly all the torches behind him began disappearing. As d3rLord proclaimed his lack of fear, he suddenly began hearing a mass of whispering voices all around him, prompting him to walk to the end of the hallway and jump into a huge lake.

After landing in the lake, d3rLord crafted a few doors to help him breathe underwater as he dived into the lake and swam to the bottom, taking the left tunnel until he reached a huge wall of tunnels. After swimming up for air, d3rLord heard the same whispers as he had earlier, believing that whatever had spooked him previously was nearby again and temporarily burrowing into the ceiling as the whispers of the entity passed by. After swimming back down into the depths, d3rLord picked a tunnel at random and swam down it until he eventually emerged on the other side in a huge underground forest surrounding the pond he had come from.

After taking in the view, d3rLord dove back into the pond and blocked off the entrance to prevent whatever was following him from entering the same way. Knowing that it would come in through the same way, d3rLord began creating a trap to detect the entity following him using a chunk loader. After building the trap, d3rLord began exploring the area, coming across several signs that appeared to point in one direction. Before deciding to follow them, he made a quick trip back to the chunk loader, finding it unchanged. However, d3rLord had set a second trap by placing a block of grass next to a block of dirt without documenting it, which had now also grown into grass, meaning that the entity had followed through the pond and blocked off the entrance, loading the chunk and filling back the hopper with items, and incidentally allowed the grass to spread. d3rLord escaped back into the forest and found the midpoint, digging down into another tunnel that turned into a maze, which d3rLord was gradually able to find his way through and locate the exit: a huge room consisting of a giant gate and large letters arranged above it in a cipher-stacked code. Unfortunately, d3rLord also had to deal with a combination lock made out of levers in front of him, with a huge cipher-encrypted message at the top. He supposedly solved it using nothing but a pen and paper in 17 minutes. The Cipher was a poem encrypted using Cipher-Stacking (a bad practice), but he rejected the puzzle and instead simply mined through the gate with his pickaxe.

Through the gate, d3rLord discovered a huge, abandoned village that seemed to belong to some kind of civilization. Off in the distance, d3rLord spotted an abandoned house isolated from the rest of the village, containing a book and quill that appeared to catalog the villagers' attempt to summon a "king" before warning the reader to turn back and delete the world. Mining through a bookshelf to see if there was anything else he had missed, d3rLord found a pair of doors behind a bookshelf and travelled through, ending up in another hallway.

As d3rLord reached the end of the hallway, he found himself in a cave and went left, discovering that the cave was seemingly being corrupted by a black essence. As the cave became entirely black, d3rLord rounded a corner and discovered a building situated in the darkness, with only the glow coming from behind the two large yellow gates providing any illumination. As d3rLord approached the gates, he braced himself before passing by them and entering the building, only to freeze at the sight of (what is speculated by viewers to be) the King in Yellow himself behind the gates, flooding his mind with the incomprehensible knowledge of everything that has ever and will ever exist. After a few seconds, d3rLord backed out of the building and ran for his life back to the hallway, turning away from it and going the other direction until he burrowed into the walls and found himself back in the room he started off in when he was strip mining.

After arriving back at the room he started off in, d3rLord pulled out a book and began frantically writing a warning message to Avery, whom he knew would be coming next as a result of the future knowledge given by the King in Yellow and addressed by name in an encoded message, telling him to not turn left at the crossroads before putting the book and quill in the chest and logging off. At some point, the laptop was obtained by a person named Avery, who ran a YouTube channel called "AveryTheMayo" and began using it as his personal laptop. At some point while playing Minecraft on d3rLord's world, he stumbled across d3rLord's mine a few hundred blocks away from his base, including his strange book and quill.
