Zozo – I Survived 100 DAYS as a FIRE EEL in HARDCORE Minecraft!

On day 1, I spawned into the Badlands  as a slippery, fiery Fire Eel! “I’m one spicy unagi! But  I wouldn’t be very filling,   I’m only a baby eel! But I’m sure  I could still pack a fiery punch!” I breathed a jet of fire – one of my  awesome fire eel starter powers! I  

Was feeling super confident about  what the next 100 days could hold. But my confidence didn’t last for long,  because a huge Dread Beast came running   across the Badlands towards me. There  was no way he was up to anything good. Still, I tried my best to be polite.

“Hey there, Dread Beast! I’m Zozo, it’s nice to  meet you. What a lovely day we’re having, right?” “Yesss, a lovely day. Even lovelier now  that I’ve found you. A delicious fire eel.” “Wait, what!? What do you mean delicious?” “I am the all-devouring Dread  Beast, Zozo! All that matters  

To me is finding and eating tasty  things, because I’m always hungry.” “Oh no…” “And don’t even think about slithering  away, little eel. I love fast food.” But I slithered away anyway, going as  fast as I could. There was no way I was  

Going to be devoured by a Dread Beast  on my very first day in the Overworld! “But I don’t think that nasty  Dread Beast is gonna quit,   either. I need to get strong enough to beat  that monster, or I worry I’m gonna spend a  

Hundred days preparing to become its lunch!” On day 2, I kept slithering until I finally   found a place in the Badlands  to stop and catch my breath. “It’s not exactly the most hospitable place to  spawn. Then again, given that I’m a Fire Eel,  

It’s probably better than spawning somewhere  cold. And hey, at least I have ten hearts.” I realized that all that talk about eating  me had, weirdly, made me kind of hungry – “These will make for a perfect snack!” I busted down the tree and started eating those  delicious, crunchy apples, feeling my hunger bar  

Replenish. That’s when I felt something that a  Fire Eel should never want to feel: The Cold. I turned and saw that it was because  a Ghost was floating right behind me. “Give in, Zozo, to be devoured by the  mighty Dread Beast is your destiny!”

“What!? You don’t even have anything to  do with that, you’re some random ghost,   why would you want the Dread Beast to eat me?” “Hahaha, you’re foolish, Zozo. I have  everything to do with it. I was a villager once,  

And then the Dread Beast ate me. I came back  as a ghost, forever enslaved to his will!” “That’s terrifying! I’m sorry, Mr. Ghost, but  there’s no way I’m letting that happen to me!” I turned and ran for my life in the  opposite direction. That spooky Ghost  

And his master/eater had already  freaked me out enough for one day. When I came to a stop, alone in the  middle of the Badlands, I was exhausted,   and honestly felt like crying. That’s when I was  approached by a surprisingly friendly Gorgon. “Hey, little buddy, you look sad. I’m Grace. Grace  

The Gorgon. Why don’t you come  with me? I can help you out.” “That… That sounds nice. Thank  you. I’ve had a really hard day.” “Oh, don’t I know it! Come with me,  I’ll take you to a friend of mine’s   place. You’ll be safe there.” On day 3, Grace the Gorgon and I  

Traveled through the Badlands until we found  a small shack with a Troll waiting outside.   But rather than posting mean comments on  the internet, he seemed happy to see us. Grace the Gorgon hung back while I approached  to get acquainted with the cheerful Troll.

“The name’s Terry. Terry the Troll. You  look like you’ve seen a ghost, fella.” “I have seen a ghost, actually! And  it was the ghost of one of the past   victims of a giant monster that wants to eat me!” “Whoa, that’s heavy, man. A  monster wants to eat you? That  

Sounds like something the Dread Beast would do.” “Yes, the Dread Beast! That’s the one! Is there   anything I could do to stop that  awful monster from eating me?” “Isn’t it obvious? You’re going to need to slay  it – Get it before it gets you, you get me?”

“Slay the Dread Beast? That doesn’t  sound like it’s gonna be easy…” “Sure, it won’t be easy, but is anything worth  doing ever easy? Get out there, make a base,   get some allies who’ll work with you.  It’ll be tough, and it’ll take time,  

But the way I see it, little fire eel, it’s  the only way you’re gonna get out of this.” “Well… An eel’s gotta do what an eel’s gotta  do. Thanks for the advice, Terry. I’m gonna   try my best to get strong enough and make  enough allies to defeat the Dread Beast.” 

From day 4 to day 5, Grace the Gorgon  and I went deeper into the Badlands   until we found an area that looked like  it’d be perfect for building a base. “But you’re gonna need some tools first,  Zozo! Maybe start out by gathering some wood!” “Good idea, Grace!”

I used what little baby eel  strength I had to break down a tree,   and collect the wood for  building a wooden pickaxe. “It’s mining time!” And then I mined into the ground, collecting  enough stone to build myself a stone pickaxe  

And a stone sword. But I didn’t stop there. I  continued gathering stone until I had enough   to build myself a basic base, with two rooms  – One for me, and one for Grace the Gorgon. “These rooms both look awesome, Zozo!”

“Thank you! It wasn’t easy to build them,  but I’m glad I did. Out of curiosity,   Grace, why did you choose to stay with me?” “Because I hate bullies, and I  wasn’t going to leave you out here,   vulnerable to the Dread Beast. We’ll  stick together and win this thing!” “Awww, you’re the best, Grace!”

And that moment was so heartwarming,   my hearts grew twice as big – Literally!  I was bigger, stronger, had twenty hearts,   and I gained an awesome new ability:  Shooting flaming Wither Skulls! “Oh yeah, that’s more like it!”  From day 6 to day 8, I ventured out to  a new location – the Basalt Barrera.

“It’s nice to take a load off and see  new places, it takes my mind off of the   fact that a terrifying monster wants to eat me  alive… Oh no, now I’m thinking about it again!” But I didn’t have any more time  to stand around feeling anxious,  

Because the same Ghost that was hassling  me earlier emerged out of the trees. “Zozo… I found you…” “I really wish you’d unfind me!” “You still have your sense of humor.  Good. You’ll need that when you’re   a ghost. The days are dark and the  nights are long. It will never end.”

“Actually, it’s going to end for you right now!” I was sick of being chased away by monsters,  so I unleashed my fire breath onto the Ghost,   weakening him and making him physical,  before finishing him off with my stone sword. “Nobody’s eating me! I won’t allow it!”

My battle with the Ghost must have  caught the attention of a Cyclops   who was wandering through the Basalt Barrera.  He immediately approached me with an offer. “The name’s Sid. Sid the Cyclops. I  may not have great depth perception,   but I can see a real strength  in you. Think you can do a job  

For me? I’ve got a local freaky  customer who needs attending to.” “Sure, I’ll give it the ol’ fire eel try!” From day 9 to day 10, I went out to a remote   part of the Basalt Barrera with Sid  the Cyclops following close behind. “Who exactly do you want me to fight here, Sid?”

“Believe me, when you see him, you’ll know.” And Sid was right, the second I  saw him, I did know: It was a huge,   frightening Dread Knight. I could see why  Sid didn’t want to take it on himself. “Well, here goes nothing…” I ran in and faced the Dread Knight alone.

“Doth thou wish to challenge me, knave?” “Oh yeah, consider yourself challenged!” “Tis a battle, then!” I fought the Dread Knight, but none  of my attacks seemed to do any damage.   The fight seemed hopeless, and in the  end, all I could do was turn and run.

I met back up with Sid the Cyclops  not far from the site of the battle. “I’m not strong enough to take  on this Dread Knight yet, Sid,   but until I am, how about you  come and hang out at my base?”

“Sure, sounds like a gas. Let’s go!” From day 11 to day 12, I returned to   my base with Sid the Cyclops. I got  to work on building him a new room,   right alongside the rooms I’d  built for myself and Grace. By the time that I was done, Sid looked delighted.

“I’ve always wanted a second  home. This is a big deal for me,   I feel like a celebrity or something!” “I’m glad you like it, Sid! Be it ever  so humble, there’s no place like home.” “Well, it’s not quite as humble now. Go take  

A look at some upgrades I created  while you were building my bedroom.” I took a look at the upgrades, and I was  extremely impressed. He’d built a furnace,   which would allow me to smelt ores into  ingots for building weapons and armor – And  

He’d also built a storage room, where I  could store more weapons and resources. “Speaking of resources, I’m hungry,   I should probably find a way to  keep my food supply sustainable.” To that end, I started herding some  chickens from the surrounding Badlands,  

And created a small farm with some  coops to keep them for eggs and chicken. “And now, it’s time to put  that furnace to good use!” I searched until I found a deep cave,  and inside, it didn’t take me long to  

Find a nice vein of iron ore. I mined it with my  stone pickaxe until I had enough to take back. I returned to my base and smelted the  ore into iron ingots. With the help of   a few leftover sticks, I made myself  an iron sword and an iron pickaxe.

“This will give me something to  put in the storage room, too!”  From day 13 to day 15, I started feeling  antsy, thinking about the fact that the   Dread Beast was out there, biding its time,  waiting for the right moment to strike. I realized that I needed to get stronger,  

So I returned to Grace the Gorgon for  some advice on what I should do next. “One of the biggest sources of the Dread Beast’s  power is the legion of ghosts created from his   former meals. The more of them you can  free from their bounds on the Overworld,  

The weaker he’ll be. I actually think there’s  another one near here at the Basalt Barrera.” Because Grace always seemed to be right,  I ventured out to the Basalt Barrera,   and exactly as she’d predicted, there was one of  the Dread Beast’s ghostly servants waiting for me.

“Looks like I have my work cut out for me here!” Through a mix of my fire attacks and the work of  my strong new iron sword, I was able to defeat the   Ghost. It even dropped a Potion of Strength  on the ground, which I picked up and drank.

“Wait… I can feel something happening…” Suddenly, I started to grow, getting  bigger and feeling my number of hearts   grow to thirty. I also experienced additional  damage on every single one of my attacks. “Grace was right, I’m much stronger already.  This really was worth the trip out here!” 

From day 16 to day 19, I went out to  the Bayou, as a test of my courage.   It was dangerous to wander around  there with so much water everywhere. “Still, what’s life without  a little risk here and there?   I can’t be a truly powerful  fire eel if I’m not brave!”

But this journey was more valuable than just  building up my confidence. While I was slithering   along, I discovered a strange old book of  fairy tales, and decided to give it a read. “Man’s hunger for wealth and power once  unlocked darker and deeper hungers. Greedy  

Miners who wanted diamonds and gold dug  deeper than they should, and uncovered   the monstrous Dread Beast – A creature  with a hunger to devour the whole world.” “Wow, so that’s where the Dread Beast came from!  I wonder what I can do with this information…”

But I didn’t have time to ponder on this  for long, because I looked up and saw   another eerie Ghost floating towards  me out of the darkness of the Bayou. “You can’t escape, Zozo. I thought  I could escape. Hahaha. I was so  

Silly. He ate me like he ate all the others.  He’ll eat you too, Zozo. He’ll eat you too…” I vaporized the Ghost with a  Wither Skull and then ran out   of there. I didn’t feel like spending  any more time in the Bayou that day…

From day 20 to day 22, I went back into the  mining cave to collect a little more iron ore,   before returning to my base and  smelting it into iron ingots. “I’ve got some cool weapons and tools, now  it’s time to get myself some awesome armor.”

I made an iron chest plate – Which,  admittedly, you couldn’t actually see   on my fire eel body, but would provide me  some valuable defensive abilities anyway. “I’m stronger than I’ve ever  been! But now it’s time to use   that strength for good. There’s  an old score I have to settle…”

I returned again to the Basalt Barrera  with only one thing on my mind:   Finally defeating the Dread Knight. When I found him again, I pulled  out my sword and squared up to him. “Doth thou return to fight me, you sad little   fire eel? You cannot destroy that  which has already been destroyed!”

“What does that even mean?” “Once upon a time, I was a knight, a brave and  powerful knight! I battled many a monster – And   believed that I could also slay the Dread Beast!  But I was wrong – Terribly, terribly wrong. The  

Dread Beast devoured me, and now, my soul is  bound to his. I’m a shade of my former self…” “Then let me free you from this  terrible state, Dread Knight!” I fired a Wither Skull at the Dread  Knight, then ran in to battle him   directly. With my new skills and my iron sword,  

I was able to hold my own against the  Dread Knight, and eventually destroy him. “Rest well, tragic knight. I’ll  avenge you and all the others.” “Ohhh, will you now?” I turned with horror to see the  Dread Beast itself standing close   behind me. Even with my new strength,  he still looked just as frightening.

“Tasty, tasty little eel. It’s almost time,   Zozo. I’m getting so hungry.  I can barely control myself…” I didn’t want to stick around and  see if the Dread Beast could keep   a leash on his appetite. Instead, I just  turned and ran away as quickly as I could. 

From day 23 to day 26, I returned to my  base to tell Sid the Cyclops that I had   managed to defeat the Dread Knight, and  free him from his torment in the process. “Zozo! How’d it all go-go, my guy?” “The Dread Knight won’t be bothering you  anymore. I don’t feel much like celebrating  

About it though, he was just as much a victim of  the Dread Beast as me. He’s really, really evil.” “Evil is as evil does, I guess.  What can we do about it?” “We can help each other. We can fight back.” “I like where your head’s at,  kid! But where do we start?”

“I should probably upgrade my gear. If I  want to do that, I’d better get mining!” I headed down into the mining cave to see what I  could find. I managed to gather some iron ingots,   and I took them back to my base and  smelted them making an Iron Helmet. “I feel tougher already!”

Then Grace the Gorgon approached me. “I heard what you did for the Dread  Knight! That was an amazing start.   As a thank you for your hard work, I’ve  added an improvement to the base that I   believe you’ll approve of. It’s  a Security Bunker, a safe place  

To retreat to in the event of an ambush by  the Dread Beast or one of his ghostly army.” “Awesome! Thank you!” From day 27 to day 31, I went back   out to the Bayou, equipped with my new helmet and  a renewed sense of purpose. I was a little worried  

I would run into another Ghost, but instead,  a big friendly Panda came ambling up to me! “I heard you’re the guy who got rid  of that Ghost that was terrorizing   us out in these parts! Thank you kindly for that!” “Of course! Are there any more ghosts out here?”

“None that I’ve seen! But if you’re offering help,   I sure could use a place to stay!  See, that nasty ghost critter tore   my house right up! Any chance you’ve got a  spare room, and that room is panda-sized?” “Sure! Well, I don’t have a room  for you yet, but I can build one!  

Let’s go back to my base, and  we’ll get you settled in!” “Thanks! By the way, my name’s Patrick!” “I’m Zozo!” “You sure are impressive for an eel, Zozo!” “Well that’s kind of reductive,  but thanks anyway. Come on!”

Patrick the Panda followed me back to my base,  and I got to work on building him a room where   he could stay. When I was finished,  Grace the Gorgon came to talk to me. “Zozo! Terry the Troll needs help, there’s a ghost  

Attacking his home! But I can’t fight it  alone, will you come with me and help?” “Of course! Poor Terry! Let’s  head on over there right now!”  From day 32 to day 35, Grace the Gorgon and I  traveled to the Badlands to help Terry the Troll.  

When we got there, Terry’s shack was a mess! And  I don’t mean he forgot to pick up his dirty socks,   I mean the whole thing had been knocked down!  And Terry was nowhere to be seen! Instead,   there was just a creepy ghost hovering out front!

“You’re too late, Zozo…your friend has  already left this life behind. Pity he died this   way and not in the jaws of the mighty Dread  Beast. He was not as lucky as you will be.” “What do you mean?! That can’t be true!”

“Ah, but it is. One way or another,  you will join us. I have heard that   the Dread Beast is craving eel pie,  and his hunger will soon be sated.” “No, it won’t! You may have taken my  friend, but I’ll never let you beat me!”

I shot a witherskull at the Ghost,  and vaporized it. It felt good,   but I was still heartbroken about Terry. “We can’t let Terry’s death be in vain! Zozo!” “I may only be a little fire eel, but as  long as I have fire breath in my body,  

I won’t let the Dread Beast  do this to anyone ever again!”  From day 36 to day 39, I  returned to the Basalt Barrera. “Now that I got rid of the Dread Knight, this  place is pretty peaceful! I’d love to kick  

Back and relax out here. Well, not kick,  I don’t have feet, but you get the idea.” I was just about to try and squeeze  in a little relaxation between quests,   when a Nether Ogre approached me! “Oi! Your name’s Zozo, innit? I’ve got  a right awful bloke in me house! He just  

Won’t leave! I tried to chase him out, and  he said he’d burn me to a crisp, he did!” “Wow, people from the Nether sure  have a funny way of talking! But   I get what you mean, friend! Show me  the way, and I’ll do my best to help!”

He took me to his house, where sure enough,   a great big Fire Ogre was getting  ready to burn the place down! Luckily,   I threw a witherskull and stopped him before  he could torch the Nether Ogre’s house! “Here you go, still just as  not-burnt-down as it was before.”

“Well, Bob’s your uncle! Say, you’re that bloke  what’s looking to get rid of the Dread Beast?” “I am!” “Well he’s only out there  in the Swampands, he is!” “That’s good to know! I just won’t go there  until I’m strong enough to fight- and win!” 

From day 40 to day 43, I traveled back  home to my base. When I got there,   I was surprised to find Sid  the Cyclops waiting for me! “Hey there, Zozo! While you were  out, I built some additional rooms!”

“Oh that’s amazing! I need a room for my  friend here! But what made you think of that?” “Well, I was hoping we could invite more  guests to come stay! I know a few guys!” It turns out, that very guy was Patrick  the Panda – Who I’d already met.

“The more, the merrier! Here’s  your new room, Patrick!” “Golly! It’s perfect, Zozo! Say, could you  do me one more favor? Could you go to the   bayou and get my favorite book? I left it out  there, and I’ve got a hankering for reading!” “Sure! I’ll head over there now!” 

From day 44 to day 49, I traveled to the Bayou  to look for Patrick the Panda’s favorite book. “I probably should have asked him what it   looked like first. Or what it was  called. Oh well, I’m here now!”

But I wasn’t the only one here. The terrifying  Dread Beast popped out right in front of me. “Indeed you are, Zozo. Tasty eel…It’s almost  my suppertime. Once it is…I will feast! And   the prophecy foretells that once I eat a fire eel,   I will reach my ultimate power  and devour all that I see.”

“I’ll never let you eat me! Especially  not after you said all that scary stuff!” “When the time comes, you  will not be able to escape!” With that, he disappeared, but I  didn’t get a chance to wonder where   he went. In his place, he left behind  a huge, mean-looking Blue Manticore.

“Look upon your future, Zozo. If I  could not defeat the Dread Beast,   then surely a tiny insignificant fire eel will not  be able to. You will be devoured, like the rest.” “Why still work for him after what he did to you?”

“Fool, there is no choice! Once the Dread  Beast has eaten you, there is no freedom!!” “That’s terrible!” I could tell he was the toughest opponent I’d  faced so far!But if I wanted to save myself,   and free the Blue Manticore from the Dread  Beast’s grip, I was going to have to win! 

From day 50 to day 53, I continued my  fight against the Blue Manticore. He   was even stronger than he looked! I was pretty  worried that I might not make it out of this one! “Just accept your fate!” “Never! No one deserves that!”

I used all of the strength I had, and fought as  hard as I could, and with the help of my trusty   Witherskull, I finally managed to defeat him. But  by the time I did, the Dread Beast was long gone.

“I was hoping to find out where exactly his  base is! I know it’s in a swamp, but where?” Just then, I noticed something on the ground. “The Manticore must have dropped it!” I took a closer look, and it was a map,  with “Dread Beast Clubhouse” written on it.

“This must be where his base is! Once I’m  strong enough, I’m going straight there!”  From day 54 to day 57, I continued my search  for Patrick the Panda’s book. Finally,   I came across a book lying on the  ground. I went over to pick it up,  

But a Hell Ostrich leapt at  me and started attacking! “Hey! That’s my friend’s book! I need it back!” The Hell Ostrich didn’t say  anything, it just kept attacking me. “Okay, we don’t have to chat about it,  you just have to let me take the book!”

With a few well-timed attacks, I was able to  defeat the Hell Ostrich and grab the book.   Sure enough, it said “Panda’s book” on it! It  also dropped something else! Netherite Ingots! “Maybe I can use these later!” I hurried back to my base  to find Patrick the Panda. “Patrick! I got your book!”

“Thank you, Zozo! I reckon I’ll  never know how to repay you!” “You can pay me back with your  friendship! And by enjoying that book!” “I also happen to have heard tell  of a magic apple, one that gives   anyone who eats it a massive boost of  strength! Might be just what you need!”

“I’ll keep an eye out for a magic apple then!”  From day 58 to day 62, I  took a look around my base. “This place is pretty great,  but it could be even better!” I wandered over to the  Chicken Farm, and had an idea!

“That’s it! I’ll expand this area so  we can have even more chickens! With   all of these new people staying at  the base, we’ll need lots of eggs!” After that, I headed back into the mining cave to  look for anything I could use to upgrade my gear!  

It took a long time, but I managed to find  some diamonds! I took them back to my base,   and used them to craft a set of diamond  armor, a diamond pickaxe, and a diamond sword. “Wait until the Dread Beast gets a look at  this! Good luck eating all these diamonds!”

Grace the Gorgon then approached  with some more good news. “Zozo, come and see what I’ve done! I’ve  added to the base! This is the Party Room,   where we can all celebrate when you’ve  bested the Beast! I know you can do it.”

“Thanks for believing in me, Grace!” From day 63 to day 66, I was hanging   out at my base, practicing my dance moves in the  Party Room, when Sid the Cyclops came to see me. “Zozo! I heard that there might be some  helpful materials in Birch Forest!” “Where’d you hear that?”

“Got a tip from my materials guy!” “If it’s good enough for your  guy, it’s good enough for me!” I traveled to the Birch Forest, and got to work  looking for anything useful. As I searched,   I spotted a Maned Wolf stalking her way toward me. “Please don’t attack me! I’m busy!”

“I wasn’t going to attack you! I was going to say   hi! And ask you for a favor,  if that’s okay! I’m Mallory!” “Nice to meet you! I’m Zozo! What kind of favor?” “My baby was kidnapped by a Silver  Skeleton! Please, help me get her back!”

“Of course! Where did you last see him? Let’s go!” From day 67 to day 70, I followed the Maned Wolf   to another part of the Birch Forest.  There, I could see a Silver Skeleton! “Where are you hiding the baby maned wolf?” “I’ll never tell! She’s definitely not  locked in that building over there!”

“Ha! I tricked you! Time to fight!” I didn’t give the Silver Skeleton any more  time. I shot a Witherskull at the Skeleton.   He attacked me in return, but my armor kept me  from taking too much damage. Then it was time  

To test out my new Diamond sword. I was able to  defeat the Silver Skeleton with only two swipes! Then I opened the door to the nearby  totally-not-suspicious building,   and there was the baby wolf! “Thank you so much! I’ll change  her name to “Zozo,” after you!”

“That’s really nice! But please  don’t do that! A thanks is enough!”  From day 71 to day 74, I decided to  follow the map to the Cold Swamplands   and try to sneak a look at  the Dread Beast’s hideout. While I was following the map’s path, I started  thinking about how much had already happened!

“I’ve had some amazing adventures so far!  To find even more of my awesome antics,   make sure to search for Z-O-Z-O! That’s my name!” Finally, I reached the Cold Swamplands. “Jeez, they call it cold for a reason! This  is definitely no place for a fire eel!” Then, in swooped the Dread Beast.

“You will have plenty of time to  get used to it…after I’ve had   my meal and your spirit is trapped here forever.” The Dread Beast found me before I found him! “Time to see if I’m ready to fight this guy!” I shot a Witherskull at him, but  he tanked it with complete ease!

“I’ll try the sword!” I attacked with my sword, but  he barely seemed to feel it! “Like a mere papercut.” “Uh oh!” He hit me back, and my new armor protected  me from getting completely knocked down,   but I knew I wouldn’t last too much longer! “I’m not ready to take him on!” 

From day 75 to day 78, I ran  all the way back to my base. “I wish I could fight him now, but if I do that  before I get stronger, I’ll lose for sure!” I decided to lie down in my room for a while.

“I want to be a hero, but I’m starting to  think that, sadly, I am only an eel…” Grace the Gorgon knocked on my  door, interrupting my sad thoughts. “Hey Zozo, I know you’re disappointed,   but I wanted to show you an addition I’ve  made to our home here. Come and look!”

I followed her all the way to a new Watchtower! “Oh! This is pretty cool! Thank  you, Grace. I feel better.” While Grace and I were admiring the Watchtower,   and all of the watching we’d be able  to do up there, Patrick joined me! “Take a lookie what I found!”

He handed me a magic apple! “Hey! This is like the one you told me about!” “Not just like it! It’s the same one! Try it!” I ate the apple, and I felt myself  growing bigger and more powerful! My   hearts increased to 60, and I gained  a new attack! I can shot a fireball!

“I’ll show that Dread Beast what  being a fire eel is all about!”  From day 79 to day 84, I traveled  back to the Cold Swamplands. “This time, if the Dread Beast  ambushes me again, I’ll be ready!” I didn’t spot him anywhere, but I  was able to test out my new strength,  

And my fireball, on an Undead  Scorpion that tried to sting me! “Nice try! But I’m not a little fire eel  that people can pick on anymore! I’m a big,   strong eel that plays by my own rules!” That awesome act of firepower attracted  the attention of a friendly Polar Bear.

“You sure are! I know what that’s like. But not   the being an eel part. As you  can see, I’m a Polar Bear!” “Hi!” I decided to sit with the  Polar Bear for a little while,   and when I finally got up to  go, he stopped me for a second.

“Thanks for the company. Hey, is that  Netherite? Attach it to your sword, like this!” Then, he crafted a Netherite Sword for me! “Thank you! This is great!” From day 85 to day 89,   I said goodbye to the nice Polar Bear, and  took my new Netherite Sword back to my base!

When I got there, I saw that someone  had destroyed my new Watchtower! “Hey! Grace worked really hard on that!” I looked around for the culprit, and I saw  a Ghost floating away into the Badlands. “Oh no, you don’t!”

I chased after the ghost as fast as I  could. As I did, a Painted Kitty stopped me. “Excuse me! Could you point the way to  the Birch Forest? I’m terribly lost!” I quickly pointed her in the right  direction, then kept running after the Ghost. “Looks like he’s running  toward the Cold Swamplands!” 

From day 90 to day 94, I finally managed to catch   up with the Ghost. He ran into the Dread  Beast’s hideout! I stopped just outside. “I’m not ready to go in there yet! But I  can wait out here and see what happens!”

The Ghost came back out of the hideout, like he  was looking for me. I got a better look at him,   and saw that he wasn’t just a Ghost! He  was a huge, tough-looking Dread Ghoul! “My, my, my! Look who took the bait! It’s  the main course for the coming feast!”

“I’m so sick of all of you  saying stuff like that!” “Then try and stop me, if you dare!” I shot a fireball at the Dread  Ghoul, and it barely even fazed him! “Uh oh! He’s the toughest minion I’ve fought yet!”

From day 95 to day 97, I continued  my battle against the Dread Ghoul. “I really need to do my best  if I’m going to win this one!” WIth the help of my new Netherite sword,   I was finally able to knock  the Dread Ghoul down for good!

His helmet fell to the floor, and  I grabbed it. It was Netherite! “This goes great with my sword! Hey, what’s this?” I spotted a note on the ground. “It says the Dread Beast is getting  worried about me! He thinks I might  

Be able to destroy him before he  can eat me and fulfill the prophecy! This is great news, it means I’m definitely  on the right track! I can’t back down,   I’ve got to get everything I possibly  need before I enter that final battle!” 

On day 98, I returned to my base. Grace the  Gorgon and the rest were waiting for me. “I’m really starting to think I can  do this! I wasn’t so sure before,   but now I know everything will work out!”

“It will! And look! I fixed the Watchtower! The  Dread Beast and his ilk can’t keep us down!” “Yeah!” Next, I spoke to Patrick the Panda. “Zozo! Before you head on out  of here to fight that big boss,   take this! It’s a Potion of  Strength! It’ll power you up good!”

“Thank you! This is just what I need!” And finally, Sid the Cyclops. “I don’t have any potions or any repairs done.  Just this. I may only have one eye, but I can   see a bright future ahead of you. And the rest  of us, too! Because you’re gonna do it, kid!”

“Thank you! Well! No more waiting around! I’ve  got to go see a Dread Beast about a battle!”  On day 99, I traveled back to the Cold  Swamplands and the Dread Beast’s hideout. When I got there, I started to get  pretty worried, because the whole  

Place was crawling with ghosts! Well, they  were floating, but they were everywhere! But the Maned Wolf from  before came bounding up to me! “I can handle these ghosts! You  get inside while I keep them busy!” While the Maned Wolf took care of the Ghosts,  I finally entered the Dread Beast clubhouse. 

On day 100, I entered the Dread Beast’s  base, and found him waiting there for me! “Yesss…I knew you’d be here soon. My  stomach has been growling. Time to feast!” “Why do you have to eat all of these  innocent victims? Why can’t you just   have some pie, or a sandwich like everyone else?”

“Because no sandwich in this world  tastes sweeter than absolute power!” “What about pie? Pie’s pretty sweet!” “Enough talk! I’m much too  hungry, and I’m craving fire eel!” He lunged at me and attacked, but I was ready! I  dodged him, and shot back a fireball in return.  

It hit him! But he kept going. He rushed  at me again, and this time he knocked me   back! But I wasn’t done yet! I used my  netherite sword to get the upper hand! “Zozo…imagine it…if you join my ghostly army,   then you will share in my infinite  power. The world will be ours!”

“No thanks! I’m not taking that deal!” I drank the strength potion and  finally got the better of him,   and with one more swipe of my sword, I  destroyed the mighty, terrible Dread Beast! “I did it! I saved the day! I’ll  say it. This eel? Is on fire!”
