Chapter Text
Prolog/Into: Hidden millions of blocks out on the world's largest Minecraft server is a prison known as Purgatory. It was built to contain the servers most dangerous criminals and over 1,000 players have been trapped behind its walls. Every player is given only one life on this server, making a place like this impossible to escape. But I was about to leave everything behind and become a prisoner of Purgatory.
While I was being escorted to the Pugetory with other players, I was already thinking about how I could escape from here. I had nothing in my inventory since JamatoP had taken all my belongings. Under the bridge to the prison, there was only lava, and as far as the eye could see. I knew the escape It wouldn't be easy, but if he really believed that little bit of lava could stop me, he would be a bigger fool than I thought.
Or was there something I missed? Did he have something up his sleeve? Or was he just being overconfident?
However, I knew there must be a way. It just need to be one.
The entrance was impressive and also a little creepy. It was a large skull and its mouth was the entrance to the prison.
The inside was gigantic. There was really enough space for each of the thousands of players to have a small room of their own but the much more interesting thing was that there weren't that many guards, comparatively speaking. Honestly, there were practically none, except for the guards who escorted me to my cell. I knew there probably wouldn't be 1000 guards, especially since many of their players were still out killing and capturing new criminals. But I couldn't shake the feeling that it would be harder to escape than I thought it would be.
When I arrived in my cell and new home, I looked at every corner of it. There wasn't much, just a cauldron with water in it and some kind of bed or table. There were four trapdoors in the ceiling, but there was nothing over them. The ceiling and floor consisted of basalt, smooth basalt and deepslate and the walls were made of a combination of tuff, mossy cobblestone and mossy stone bricks.
And I couldn't help but think to myself: Despite losing everything, I Had promised to myself that I would see the world one last time and accomplish everything that I wanted to do in the past. But first, I had to escape the walls of Purgatory...
And I would make JamatoP pay for what he did to me, no matter what.

After a while, the door suddenly opened. I saw no one nearby. I didn't know if that was how it was supposed to be, but I wasn't interested since it was a good time to explore the prison. I didn't want to ignore this opportunity, but I had almost no hunger bars left and no food either. So I looked for a place where I could get food. When I found a group in a line, I just knew I was in the right place.
I was disappointed that we only got rotten flesh, but what else did I expect from him? He wouldn't just give us anything that we could actually use. I was happy that I managed to get 16 rotten flesh. Even if I only had 6 left after completely satisfying my hunger.
I thought it would be difficult to get items, but when two prisoners attacked each other, I hoped that at least one of them would drop something good and that I could take them quickly.
gnocchid97 was slain by brilo_86
gnocchid97 left the game
He died and dropped...
....three Crimson wood
That was all, seriously. It wasn't bad, but I had expected more, like a pickaxe, for example.
-
After I had taken the things, I quickly went back to my cell so that no one would notice I was gone. I entered the room and closed the open door. When I turned around and looked into the cell, there was an invisible player inside who hadn't been there a few seconds ago. He dropped a pickaxe and disappeared.
I was shocked. Who was that?
I picked the Pickaxe up from the floor.... and it was named?
"Remember what you are capable of."
Okay, now I had officially lost my mind. I mean come on. An invisible player briefly appears, drops a pickaxe "Remember what you are capable of.", and then disappears without saying a word.
Was that a spy for Jumper? But how did he get in without being seen, and why would he just disappear like that? And why would he help Spoke of all people, especially not before saving Jumper? No, that makes absolutely no sense.
So there were only two other possibilities: Either it was someone I didn't know who was helping me for some reason, or...
The only Person I still knew who was sometimes invisible is... JamatoP. But that wouldn't make any sense either. Why would he help me escape if he worked so hard to keep me locked up?
The other thing that ruled it out was the armor. The invisible player was only there briefly, but Spoke could still clearly see his armor trim. They wear purple eye trims and JamatoP is wearing green flow trims.
I had no idea who this was, but I gratefully accepted the pickaxe. The possibility of an escape was too tempting to pass up.
I was just thinking about a plan when I was snapped out of my thoughts. I heard guards coming, and my heart stopped for a second when they were in the neighboring cell and they mentioned something about a routine item check. I knew I would be absolutely cooked if they find out I had items, especially a pickaxe. Aside from the fact that I didn't want to lose it and my other items, how should I explain where I got it from???
So, I got the wood from a dead player who I didn't kill btw, and the pickaxe... I only got it from an invisible player who was in my cell and then just disappeared. Doesn't sound crazy or anything, right?
But I wasn't planning on handing over my belongings and getting caught anyway. So I quickly grabbed my pickaxe and break a block above the trapdoor. I dropped all his items, hidden above the trapdoor, except for the four remaining rotten flesh. Then I closed it, hoping the guards wouldn't look inside.
And they didn't. I was lucky. They filled my inventory with wooden shovels but they weren't searching my cell for hidden items. I distracted the guards with a lie and they went to the other side of the prison. *Hahaha* How stupid! No wonder there are players who manage to rule over the server with such stupid and gullible people. *Hahaha*
I wanted to quickly get the items before they despawn.
I knew I might get caught next time, so I wasted no time and dug into the wall and I tried to escape...
