In the solar system of Worldeon in the galaxy of The Starry Street, there is a planet called Planet Overworld (otherwise known as Earth II), there lived many organisms that... are similar to us. Humans, pigs, cows, rabbits, octopuses, sheep, and even Bomby live here. What is Bomby? I'll explain in a sec.

Other weird organisms also live here. The well known small spider has its giant counterpart: the big spider. This thing is incredibly huge, but you may not fear it! It is a venom-less spider, only made "way too big" to look scary.

Those things don't sound scary, do they? Well, let me introduce an organism called the Creeper (Sus Creepus), which has only one move to use for combat, "Self Destruct".  They have evolved so that if any of them explodes, an egg is laid so as to continue the creeper race, even if one is male. And, before I forget, creepers could only explode when they are furious, and they have a organ to release a hormone that enables them to do that called Explotin', which can be removed using surgery.

Did you know how Planet Overworld got its name? Well, firstly this planet does not have a name. It was until a day when a game creator, Marcus Shafter, created the game, The World. This game was not very famous, though. People complained about not giving the planets names.

Marcus Shafter began to change the code. Since The World is about the galaxy of The Starry Street, and we live on a planet that "overlooks" of the solar system of Worldeon, he called the globe the Overworld. Marcus called the other planet that is neighbouring the Overworld the Nether, since it has a hellish interior. This planet does not have any atmosphere, but has a cut-out area in the center that frequently overheats. And for the asteroid that is very near to the Overworld, it is called the End because of... reasons. There are many many more planets, but they are still not explored yet.

So why the planet is also called Earth II?

Well, in the year 14275 (about 4275 B.C.E on Earth), a country sent a UFO to another galaxy, The Milky Way. There, it went into a solar system they called W2-4973. They spotted a planet called Earth. Since Earth I's place was taken by that world, they decided to name their planet Earth II.

So what else significant happened in 14275?

The then-President of Villake-City, Carren Yam, found a piece of land which no one had ever found. When it was summer in the north of the area, it will be winter in the south. The east and west will have autumn and spring respectively. He named the area Carren, which soon became an important port-city for travellers of the seas.

Thinking about Carren made my thoughts go wild. This place is a little magical and fantasized. Well, firstly, this place is not at the poles; it is near the equator, and this place is like the whole of Singapore divided into four and taken three parts out. But it still has the four seasons together in the whole state, which, in my opinion, is MIND-BLOWN!

Now, let's take a look closer to the city. Despite the fact that it is small, it is split into four areas. The area around the business district has an area code of "1". The area near the beach has an area code of "2", the one near the train checkpoint that leads to YJJ City (another state founded in 15275) has an area code of "3", while the airport has an area code of "4".

The airport has four terminals, and it is the best airport in the whole world. It has arrival gates and departure gates, friendly staff, the air conditioner and heater are always working, and when the time comes they do not function as expected, the fans will be working. Also, they have a vast number of restaurants to satisfy everyone's taste buds. Tourists are required to give their feedback so they could serve better.

Let's move on to the country's flag. It has two colors, green and brown, split apart in a jagged line. This line has 16 edges, and the ratio of the length to the breadth is 3:2. In the green part, two stars align the left.

Green and brown signify 'a new land', the jagged line and sixteen edges mean the sixteen countries very close to it.

Carren City does not have a king at first, but after the 20102 elections, the winning party's leader became the king. Before the election, if you trade four British Pounds for Carrenian Emeralds, the money changer will gladly give you one Emerald. But now, the money changer will give you eight. That is because the king is greedy. He demanded taxes every month of 10000 Emeralds.

You might see people dancing on the streets in the past, but now people do not dare to go out of their houses. Besides that, the financial organization of Carren had closed its doors and bought by the king to become the palace.

A lot of banks are bankrupt. Even some great companies are closing their branches in Carren. For example, YJJ Cool Cool Land is closing. That company built the palace, but now it's gone.

Who can stop all these? Villains? Maybe. A descendant of a villain who has magic and has the same name? Definitely yes. And this person is called...

...

*3 years earlier (20102)*

"WHERE ON EARTH II IS THE COMPUTER WITH THE COMMAND BLOCK 360 SYSTEM INSTALLED?" Herobrine yelled at the top of his lungs in the electronics shop, "DID MY EYES GO WRONG? WHY IS IT NOT HERE? THE NEWSPAPER SAID THAT THIS IS THE CORRECT SHOP!"

"Um... customer? The computer you're looking for is in the storeroom, and my boss told me only to let Herobrine enter," said a salesperson.

"I AM HEROBRINE!"

"Really? Then that must be a replica. I saw a few loose wires hanging out of the computer a few days ago. By the way, if you're Herobrine, please prove yourself."

Herobrine made the computer he was looking for being attracted to his hands. In a flash, the machine appeared on his left palm.

"Thanks," Herobrine said with a cheeky grin and walked out of the store.

The salesperson was shocked. Then, when he regained his consciousness, he shouted at Herobrine, "YOU HAVE NOT PAID FOR THE COMPUTER!"

Herobrine rained money over the cash register, "Is this enough?"

The salesperson beamed. Then Herobrine went to the nearest Minecart Rapid Transit (MCRT), or Traincart Transit (TCT), or subway, or NOT underground station to take the subway home.

He tapped his train ticket on the card reader and went up to the platform at the second storey. It may seem like a sky train in your country except the train going to the underground platforms sometimes.

So anyways, back to the story. Herobrine boarded the train and found a place to sit. He looked out of the window and saw many cars, each of a different shape, color, size, plate number (Definitely!) and brand.

Once he arrived at his stop, he alighted the train and went back home. He fed Bomby his pet Creeper and then opened the door of his three-floor house.

"Hi, dad!" the kids shouted. They were eating dinner. Herobrine then went to his wife and asked, "Honey, do you have any leftovers? Or do you need me to cook by myself?"

"Of course there is your share! I'm your wife! But since you asked..."

"Okay, I got it!"

Herobrine went into the kitchen and found his dinner. He took it out and after he put it on the dining table, he began to eat it.

After eating, he set up the super smart computer to wake him up the next day and then went to sleep.
