Book 1, Roundabouts

Hello Readers! Welcome to the story! Now, Carry on, I have no say right now.

= (Book 1, Chapter 0) Prologue =

I waved my family goodbye while I headed for treasure. I checked abandoned houses but one. Well, I’m saving it for last. Then I come across a guy. He waves me over. “Hey, You want help?”

I say yes, not sure what would come from it. “I flew many ships, sky or space. And while flying one, I spotted something on the ground. I couldn’t see it well, but maybe you can find it.”

I nod and head to the Ghost House. Feeling scared, (about ghosts) yet brave (about treasure).

(Book 1, Chapter 1) Ghost House
I went into the house. It had an OLD smell that is so bad, You wish you had a Gas Mask. But, This is where the map of the legend sands was at. I walked up the stairs... and fell. But little did I know, the map was there. And a ghost. I ran and grabbed the map, And the floor under me moved up. Into a room with a dead body. I looked for a key, But nothing was there. Just a window. I leap out, Breaking the window, Dodging the shards hoping it doesn’t cut me, and land in bushes. on my way to the desert.

(Book 1, Chapter 2) Burning Sands
After following the map, I look for the treasure that should be here. But the map ends here. I tell myself I should at least set up camp. But If I stay, I might get dehydrated. There is just a cacti, More Cacti, A Spiky Cacti, A vil- Wait, A village. How can people live without water? It’s very hot. I bet lava can flow as fast as water here in the desert. This makes it feel like minecraft as well because in the nether, Water can’t be placed or spawned. This is what it feels like now. I also thought of cutting open a cactus. And DRINK THE WATER. After thinking to myself, I spotted a funny looking cactus, Not because it’s arm is misplaced, But because it looked a little Metallic. I move the metal feeling cacti arm to the right spot and a sound of scraping comes, followed by lots and lots of sand falling. I look down and it smells dusty. I cough while walking down the stairs. I found a pedestal. With a paper looking like a map, and writing on the other side. I can’t decipher it because I don’t know the ancient language. So I head off to the destination.

Sneaky Peeky:

(Book 1, Chapter 3) Troublesome Icy Wasteland
After traveling from the hot sands, Nothing was there. But another map. I traveled to a cold frozen wasteland with NOTHING but snow. I prefer the desert now. But I can't back down until I find the legendary treasure of... I forgot, BUT IT’S SOMEWHERE. It’s in the igloo? Wait, I checked there. I better hurry or I'll become an ice block (Maybe a snow-man that’s ice, A ice-man). I know it’s not in the house, Or desert, But it’s here...Right? That guy in the factory couldn't have lied, He went to space, it's not like it’s in space...Right? Let’s keep looking... Ice-Spike...Igloo...Suspicious temple...WAIT TEMPLE! I gotta look there!

(Book 1, Chapter 4) Freeze Burn Temple
After going to the temple, The cold sensation goes away for some reason. I keep walking then see light at the end. I run thinking it was a way out then I stop. It’s lava. A one-touch-one-burns lava and there is no way to cross it. But I look at the wall. It has writing that shows a bridge that you don’t see. I follow it. I nearly fell a few times but I made it. The thing that's left there is just a gun and a map. But the gun doesn’t look like a normal gun. I shoot it at the ceiling and a portal appears. I shoot it at the wall and a portal also appears but in a different color. I use it to leave the temple without having to do the bridge thing again. But before I even enter, The portals close and the bridge breaks with parkour I have to do. I look behind me. And now I want to leave. It’s an ancient beast, Ready to kill anything in its way. I get scared while looking at the beast. It was dark. Like a black hole. Same as the eyes. It had a skull as a head. With sharp claws, Probably able to destroy the Eiffel Tower just by touching it. As I jump from Platform to Platform, They crumble. Despite being fast, I made it with the portal gun and the map. I run out the temple, Locking it so the beast doesn’t escape.

(Book 1, Chapter 5) Mountains And Chaos
I climb the mountain and find a village. I question how many villages are there. I see a forest after here. Hoping I don’t have to go there. I search, But it leads nowhere. I keep looking, While getting mad and Rumbles... “WHERE IS THE TREASURE!!!”

But if I was careful, I would have done that at the bottom because there is a Landslide. The rocks fall, Destroying a few houses here and there. I take cover in a cave. Hoping I don’t die, But I get stuck in a cave.

“Thank god I left before I died” I say to myself. But I might as well investigate the cave. (Sorry for a short chapter, prepare for a longer one)

(Book 1, Chapter 6) Spooky Scary Cave
As I descended the cave, I realized I made a portal at the temple, But then I remembered that the portals closed. I also realized that I could have made portals at the village, But a rock probably would have gone in and squished me. I look while I see a chunk of diamond. But there is lava protecting it. I use my portal gun to get from the entrance to the diamond, Then I see more caves. I enter, Hoping nothing comes out to get me. But looks like the only thing I had to worry about was the floor COLLAPSING under my feet. As I fall, I question why this happened. Why I went to grab the diamond. Luckily, I landed in water. But the floor wasn’t the only concern. I look ahead and see lots and LOTS of lava! It looked like it flooded with it as well! I see a few pillars sticking out and a switch at the end. As I leap, to the pillar, I thought, “Why don’t I use the portal gun?”

But, when I tried it, The portals went away. I read the instructions and I realize if lava is near ANY portal, It will disappear to avoid death. So I parkour and reach the button, The Hot-and-kill-on-contact lava goes down, Revealing a temple. But inside is a map. Not any old map, a map that zooms IN and OUT, a map that updates every second (Or the speed of light). And a red trail is on there leading to the forest. There is also a bag. I put the bag on and the portal gun in the bag. I see a portal like thing to the entrance. And it was. I see the rock is gone, And a pickaxe is there, Something I never saw. So I put the pickaxe in my bag. And I head back to Factory, Hurt, Tired, And mad.

(Book 1, Chapter 7) Interstellar Lies
I looked everywhere. Tired. I go back to the factory, But the guy is on a ship. It says he’s off to space. The ship starts up and I run. Faster than sonic that all of a sudden, I’m next to the thrusters. He takes off, Burning me on purpose. Mad, I chase the ship. Running. I run and run, But it doesn't help. The ship is in the sky. I look at the moon and see. The truth and his lies. I shoot a portal at the moon and I put a portal at my feet after stopping. I get teleported and now I spot the ship.
