I suddenly realized that I can refer to this when I plan the features in the PocketMine plugin PocketRealisticMulti.
P.S. You know how I found this plugin? I was searching for something else, then suddenly this interesting title came to my eyes anyway this is much better than most of the rest in this forum.
BTW You have a typo. I forgot where, but in chapter 33, "them" was spelt as "the".

I am a PocketMine-MP plugin developer. I hate it when people think that I love stupid admin positions. Being an admin is nothing compared to being a plugin developer.
I am also a main developer of BlockServer, a work-in-progress MCPE server software. You are welcome to download it, but it so far onlly spawns you in the upther (above the world). You can chat, though.
I do not own this server but I just love to put this banner here:
I'm just going to give you heads up on that I will be on holiday for the next two weeks, so I won't be able to work on the next chapter in that time. I will finish it as soon as possible after coming back.
"The server uses the wires in mouse or keyboard to send electric impulses over our nerves to our brain. That way the software has direct connection to our brain and can read freely. Writing is limited to transmitting what we feel inside the server as far as I could tell."
WHAAAAAAAT? Just... whaaaat? It's... silly! You can't use computer mouse to hack someones brain!
I'll... just assume that they are morons...
[spoiler="Why it's wrong"]Even if you are a genius! Mouse can't send electrical impulses to the hand! Even if it could, the signal don't travel exacly through a nerve hacker want, it got distracted by traveling through skin! Even if it was a special mouse with thousands of micro needels... how hacker could know where nerves are? In every human they are in slightly different places! Even with a special mouse with a device to detect where nerves are... It's not possible to hack a brain! It's not a computer! Of course, as a neural network it can be taught some things, but it's almost impossible without a permission of consciousness. And you can't taught brain EVERYTHING, it's a big, complicated 'device', with a restrictions! . You can't... trick someone in seeing what his eyes does not see... and hear what his ears does not hear... using a nerves in someones hand... human brain have a special part, which distinguishes signals from different senses!(So can't taste sounds, hear smells, etc unless it's damaged)
Ok, suppose, that hackers hacked their brains. Why don't they have full control over them? I mean... THEY HACKED THEIR BRAINS! They hacked their personality, their free will, their feelings, their emotions, their thoughts! You can't say "They hacked a part of their brains, so they still have a free will". Why? Why stop there? 'Higher' functions of human brain doesn't have anything that could protect them from hacking. In fact, they are even more vunreable! What you feel, and what you think highly depeds on what do you feel with your senses!
Ok, so assume that they are a dumb geniuses, and have control only over senses. Why don't use that? "Oh no, someone escaped our mine! Let's turn off all his senses, so he can't navigate! Let's take away his control over his avatar, so he can't move!"
Only explanation is, that hackers don't know exacly how does this thing works. So someone else (the main villian?) 'hacked' minds of these people, and just handled over them to the hackers. And he convinced not very bright police to believe that they are using a mouses and keyboards to control them.
I like smart villians. Even if everyone else must be morons to contrast their intelligence.

I know pretty well that this doesn't work but I had to go against science for the sake of entertainment (imagine how many times Hollywood has done this). It is one of those things where autors just need to rely on their readers accepting that it is not scientiffically possible.
Also I do admit that I did some poor explanation work on what is actually happening here (it is the first story of a scale like this, I still need practice), I'll sum it up here:
What is happening is that the hackers discovered that a software like this exists and that it is tied to Minecraft. They are trying to disconnect the software from Minecraft and sell it to the army as they would surely be interested in a software that can simulate any environment and connect the brain to a computer, the soldiers would connect to a computer and would be able to train in realistic situations without the risk of injury or death in real life and also in a fraction of the time that "real" training would take. So, the hackers managed to deny the admins (the makers of the software) access to the Minecraft server that the software is tied to and also denied logging out for the slaves, which they can do as they can manipulate how the server treats logins and logout. They can only do it because the software is tied to Minecraft and they know how a Minecraft server works, they have no influence on the software behind it and are trying to understand it themselves (see the chapters where Jack tries to read the code). They eventually found out that they can't seperate the software from the server and need to pressure the admins (by killing the players who they denied logging out) into giving them the raw software. They don't know about the other potential the software has, which is manipulating the brain, leading to mind control or just instant death but also to the healing of mental sicknesses. Fire knows about the damage potential the software has and tries to stop the hackers, who (as said) don't have the slightest idea that they are selling the tool to world domination (or the cure to most mental diseases) to the army. Eventually somebody would find out about this potential and use it.
I hope that cleared up some things. Thank you for the feedback, I must admit that this story is more or less a playground where I try out different things related to writing.
I hate to say this but... I am putting the story to a hold. I have too much to do at the moment. The story will be continued when I have more time on my hands.
Sorry to disappoint but there won't be a chapter for a few months. If there has to be such a big delay, I'll also have to give some reasons for it. Here goes I guess.
The situation is this: I am on my last year of school and I don't have much time to write non-school-related things. After I am done with school, I will hopefully find some time to finish the story.
Noooooo! I just finished reading what you have so far... Wish it could have stopped someplace else. But I understand not having time. I went a year without posting another chapter in my story. Just came back recently.

Sucking at something is the first step to becoming sort of good at that thing.
Well, who would have thought? Somehow I found time to write another chapter! This was actually supposed to go up two days ago as some sort of christmas present but an unfortunate cold prevented me from posting this earlier, 'cause it's hard to write with fever and a headache.
My sister also drew something for me and for my readers, here it is.
(That's Fire... just FYI)
Merry Christmas (even though it is already over) and
what's the connections of that bus incident with the story?
That is one of the many loose ends I have put in the story so I can tie them to the storyline later, this way I am trying to avoid the story getting too linear, same deal with Jack's storyline.
OK, ghast bone bows, I think I will add it in our server

The thought of making a Lore Thread has crossed my mind recently and it is something I really would like to do. I also really would like it if people looked at it, so I created a poll to see if people would be interested in a Lore Thread.
Feedback in the form of comments is also appreciated.

Whoa. I am blown away, like a villager hit by a knockback 25 stick. (See what I did there?)
This is a fantabulastic story, and I rarely use that description for anything short of perfection. Cue applause!
This is what I call a minecraft story, most definitely. Now I have to stand up, run in circles for a bit to get rid of the hyperness from how epic this is, and hit the post button.

Why have I been gone so long? My interwebs are broken and I'm sick. Yay.
Want a reply? Reply to me first, I rarely stalk threads anymore.
I had a little bit of time on my hands for a change and did some polishing regarding paragraphs and other things (like slightly adapting the first chapters). I hope that I'll have some more time soon so that a chapter can follow.
Oh hell yes! He's back! XD Looking forward to working alongside you Fire. It looks to be a great experience. Full review will come once I reach Chapter 34.

Like fantasy? Like Minecraft? Check out a blend of the two here! Fall and a Rise: A Vanillacraft Tale!
Now that I am done with school I can start posting chapters regularly again. Next to the chapter I also did yet another polishing run through all of the past chapters and I also fixed the layout again as the markup changed yet another time.
I'll try my best to get back to my one chapter a week schedule, I may adapt it a little, we'll see.

Lore sounds like a great idea. Love to see what people do with the minecraft world. I myself do a lot with lore and love to see other people's takes.
Was just thinking about reading this Minefic after reading your prologue on the RIFT Project. Now I'm definitely going to.
