For Fun (Grian x reader)

Time

We went to another area with a different hobbit hole. "This is Mumbo's starter base." He said. I looked confused. "I don't see the problem here." I stated. "There can only be one!" He yelled, afterwards placing down a sign with his sentence on the build. "What do you want me to do?" I asked. "Prank him!" He exclaimed. I sighed, nodding. "Why not."

A few hours later, I had a full colour pair of drawings. One with a moustached Grian, and one with a non-moustached Mumbo. It would be great. Grian had also modified Mumbo's build to make it look like his face. Once in MumboJumbolio's base, I took out two item frames and placed the two drawings in them side by side. Then I left.

(Mumbo's POV)

After collecting some resources for my item sorter (don't wanna have a chest monster like Grian) I headed back to my hobbit hole to put them into a chest. Once I made it there however, I saw a Grian face and a sign at my bases entrance.

'THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!'

I sighed, shaking my head with a grin. I had seen Grian's base before, and we both had the same idea. Then I walked inside. I saw two (well drawn) pictures on my wall. One of Grian with my moustache, which was nightmare fuel, and one of me without my moustache. I burst out laughing. "Oh no... Why?!" I yelled in between laughs.

Then I noticed the name on the corner of both drawings. "Of course, he got their help. I never knew Y/N's cute drawings could be this scary."

(Your POV)

I needed some quartz for my elytra shop I had planned, so here I was. In the nether, my favourite place! I was using my best, fastest pick axe to mine, wanting to leave as soon as possible. No one got to enjoy the egg, so I needed to make a new one fast. And H/N was also on my mind. I would be sure to get an enderman head on my way out of the end.

I had collected about 200 pieces of quartz when I found a strange mineral. It was kind of dirty, with a lined texture on it and spirals at the top. I picked it up and pulled out my chat device.

U/N: come at spawn everyone I need to show you something

U/N: it's urgent

XisumaVoid: Are you in danger?

U/N: no but it's still important

GoodTimesWithScar: We'll get there ASAP

ImpulseSV: Yeah

DocM77: :)

Renthedog: ok

MumboJumbo: got it!

(A/N: too lazy to write the whole server but you get the point.)

I smiled and made my way over to spawn. Once I got there there was a few hermits but not many. After a few minutes they piled up until the whole server was there. "So," I began. "I was going to the nether for quartz, when I found this," I showed them the mineral and they all gasped, except for Xisuma. A look of realization crossed his face, before he walked to go next to me.

"That is an ore called ancient debris." He explained. "It is a new creation made by our world. See, we traveled through time, and new things are here now. That includes ancient debris. It can also be used to make a netherite scrap, which can make a netherite ingot. If you combine an ingot with diamond gear, you get netherite gear, which is stronger then diamond." He finished.

Silence took over the crowd, everyone processing the information. "What else is new?" Doc asked. "Well, there's some new species in the nether. Hoglins, rabid pig monsters. Piglins, half human half pig hybrids with crossbows, swords, and sometimes axes for the tough ones. Striders, able to walk on lava and a loyal companion. A whole bunch of new biomes to the nether. Just... wait and see is my advice." Xisuma answered.

We all nodded. Eventually, we all went our separate ways, me going to the nether again. I had two things I needed to do. One: get the rest of the quartz I need. Two: Get a ton of netherite to flex on other players.

As you can see, I had business planned.

After a boring grind for the materials I needed, I put away the quartz, and got out the ancient debris. I made it into a netherite ingot often some puzzling, and it and a diamond helmet on the table next to each other. I watched in pure awe as it turned into a cool looking black helmet. After turning all my gear into netherite (with a few ingots to spare) I went towards Grian's hobbit hole.

I knocked on the front door and waited. After a few seconds, a Grian appeared behind the now open door. He fell back at my armoured appearance, shocked. I started throwing netherite on the ground, bathing in them. Once he recovered from the surprise, he watched in amusement as I rolled in the blackish grey ingots.

I got similar reactions from Scar and Mumbo, each one making a grin on my face as I ran off. Over all I just pranked players and gathered resources for the rest of the day, also gaining three or four elytra (burnout for the win!). All I knew is that I was glad to be back on Hermitcraft.

Even if times have changed.

1607 words! Sorry this took so long, there were some technical difficulties and I couldn't go o onto wattpad for a while. But! That's this chapter done, now I'll just binge watch and binge eat for a few hours. Stay strong and goodbye!
