(this is a sequel to another story i made, called Song of the Ancients, or Snow Pollen. if you haven't read it yet, you can read it here. or not, you don't have to)
You are an average, relatively young human. You are about to go on a quest the size of which you severely underestimate. You will travel to -- no, let's not spoil that yet. First, in order go on a proper adventure, you need a proper name. What will your name be?

Awakening (DISCLAIMER: this is the only part that really ties in with Song of the Ancients in any way. This part doesn't really affect the plot that much, aside from explaining the origins of some monsters)
As the currently unnamed protagonist awakens, the Ancients in the third dimension sense an unbalance. For the first time in an indefinite amount of time, they leave their dimension, and return to the first two. They, in vain, warn the long-smashed Ancients of the potential usurper, and, lo and behold, they rise again. In the forms of skeletons and zombies, the Ancients return to combat the next inhabitant of the world. Next, the Ancients from the third dimension warn the Ancients of the second. They, too, answer their friends' plea, and become skeletons bearing a high resemblance to the three royal scientists' skeletal form. And as a final defense, the Pigmen themselves attempt to travel to the first dimension through their ancestral power of lightning, though they are only capable of doing so when lightning happens to strike a normal pig.
With their armies ready, as well as a previously unheard-of alliance with the spiders, the Ancients prepare to take on a new enemy.

> Enter name.
I nominate Con for the name. He is kind of the only other person reading these as well.

Chapter 1
Your name is Con. You are currently in a taiga forest, with several wolves nearby. The sun is rising, but you do not have long before it begins setting. The first thing you must do is gather materials to create shelter. You dig a large hole, and get sixty four units of dirt. However, you do not begin building yet. You punch several trees, and collect thirty two wood from them. With this wood, you create a crafting table. Using the remaining wood, you create a set of tools, and three doors for your shelter. Now you begin building. You create bridges between the treetops using the dirt, and choose the largest tree to serve as your base. You use the last of your wood and dirt to construct a house, along with one of your three doors. The sun begins setting. You wait inside your house. Monsters begin approaching, though they are unable to reach you up in the treetops. The skeletons, wielding bows, attempt to shoot at your house, but ultimately fail to do any damage to it. You think to yourself that, if this is what all nights will be like, you should construct a more stable house.
After waiting out the night, unable to sleep, you exit your house and look around. The undead monsters will catch fire if exposed to the sun, but they are currently sheltering under the trees. You decide to seek out a better area for a house. Taking your crafting table with you, you leave the forest, and ascend a nearby hill. From here you can see many other hills. You choose one, and venture over to it. There are several spiders in your path, but, for whatever reason, they do not attack you. You gradually travel further and further from your old house, as you look for a location for your new house. Eventually, you decide on one of the hills, and begin construction of a log cabin. You take a moment to think, and decide that having a cabin made only of wood is most likely not stable enough. You dig into the side of the hill, searching for stone. And you find it. You gather one hundred and twenty eight units of cobblestone. This will serve as the foundation of your new house, with the leftover cobblestone being used for tools. You will create the best house you have ever seen.

Chapter 2
You estimate that creating the house you are planning will take several stacks of wood, so, for now, you construct another small tree house. While waiting out the night, you experiment with new things you can create with cobblestone, and construct a stone pickaxe and a furnace. It then occurs to you that waiting out the night in your house is potentially a waste of time, and thus you return to your mine. You dig and dig, tunneling lower and lower. Eventually, you find coal ore. Upon mining it, you gain two experience orbs and one coal. Behind it are several other coal ore blocks. You mine them all, gaining you sixteen coal and just over one experience level. You return to your tree house to see what you can make with this. You discover that coal is required to fuel your furnace, but can also be made into torches. Thus, you split the coal, placing eight units of it into your furnace, and using the other eight units to create torches. As one coal placed above one stick creates four torches, this gives you thirty two torches. You use twelve torches lighting up your house and your mine, leaving you with twenty. By this time, the night is nearly over.
As the sun begins rising, you exit your house, and, with a stone axe in hand, begin collecting wood. You collect enough to make one hundred and twenty eight wood planks, as well as sixty four wood. Each unit of wood can be turned into four units of wood planks, which can then be used to make sticks and tools. But you decide to use the wood in the house as well. You create a stone shovel, and flatten the top of the hill. You decide to make a 9x9 house, so that you have a nice area for a door in the middle. You lay the cobblestone foundation. You place wood in the corners and in other places, like on each side of the two doorways. You fill in parts of it with wood planks, and place in your two remaining doors. However, something is still missing... glass! You need glass to make windows! But, how do you make glass? To make glass you just cook sand. You look around, and see a nearby river. But the sun is already setting again. You return to your mine, and tunnel deeper.
