Six hellish terraria stories.

Probably everyone knows the hit games, the recently released game Terraria. So, I decided to play it. Well, I installed it, and he gave me an error that I needed to download something. Well, I downloaded it, but it's still an error! Then he deleted it to hell. Later, an inscription on the wall appeared on my VKontakte:
Answer questions and don't look down until you answer.
Then there were questions. Then it was written: If you click “I like it and tell my friends,” your wish will come true. I clicked everything with a fool. The next day I had this game on my computer. I immediately climbed to play it, but the very first night was the night of the red moon, then a world eater crawled up to me and killed me, and instead of the usual “chavk” there was the sound of some kind of siren. Ears are blocked, but everything is fine. Respawned, I continue to play. Now I'm on land and air is wasting. Climbed into the water, and there it is added to me! Well, after all this idiocy, I decided to die (in the game). Dead. Now there was chaos! The game has become the Wallpaper on my desktop! And with each spent life, one file was deleted, and the game does not appear in the menu. Rebooted the computer. Everything is fine. The files were in place. I went to VKontakte to write to the sender, and on my wall instead of the sender's name it was written: Games = suicide.
I immediately deleted it, since the inscription was translated as follows:
Games are suicide. I deleted all games from my computer, even the usual pinball, and all VKontakte applications.

This is not fiction! It really happened in my terrari!

The first day after creating the map ...

I created an ordinary world with an unusual name world 666, I thought what could happen? As usual, I chopped down trees and started building a house. When the first floor with the room for the guide was ready, I went and killed the skeletron, since I already had a pumped Persian in holy armor, etc. it was easy. I decided not to go to the dungeon, I just could not find anything standing inside. I returned home, but a friend called me and I offered to play with me, he agreed. I restarted the world for multiplayer and my friend and I went to kill a wall of flesh. When we started digging the passage to hell, there was the sound of a broken vase from above, but where is the vase from above ?! We did not pay attention to this and dug further, later we killed the wall of flesh, we teleported upstairs (using the mirror) and saw that there was a piece of Distortion near the house, as if a bottle of Unholy Water had been thrown there (I don’t know how to translate the Unholy ). We immediately thought of each other, but this was not possible, because we were always there. At night, strange things began, Skeletron Prime was summoned for no reason at all, I never had his baits, and my friend was always in sight and could not invisibly summon him! We were very surprised that they somehow killed him, and it was just morning. I bought dust from the dryad and went to clean up the distortion that had grown around the house. We cleared the contaminated area almost all day. When night fell, oddly enough, there was not a single mob near the house, but there was a bloody moon! When morning came, we went to scout the world, we were attacked by the Corruptors (creatures of distortion, which, with their projectiles, turn all grass into grass from distortion). During the battle, they ruined all the grass around the house. Late in the afternoon (in the game we started removing the grass from the distortion with dust, which can be bought from the dryad), when suddenly a bottle of Unholy water flew from the left side of the map. I almost laid bricks, and began to run into my friend for throwing this bottle at me, but he was very far away and could not do it ... It was still evening and the underground cavities were still a little visible, and when I sprinkled distortion by dust, I noticed the outline of the player underground, who made a movement with his hand like a sword strike. I decided it was time to finish playing this world and shut down the server.

Second day…

My friend and I, knowing that none of us is trying to set anyone up, decided to play this map again. As soon as night fell, we were already frightened, because this world greeted us with the inscription: "You hear screams of terror around you." Yes, it appears only when the shadow sphere is destroyed ... And in the morning we were attacked by the king of slugs. For us, well-trained players, he is not the boss, but no one called him, although he comes himself. We quickly killed him, but immediately another one and another, and another, and so on 3 more times ... At night they came, that is, the Twins came (two eyes Green Spasmatism and a red Rettemizer), unfortunately we did not have time to kill them. In the morning the Snow Legion came, the next one more, after its destruction we decided not to play on this “Terrible”, no “Hell” map anymore. At least two of us ...

I repeat, it's true, try creating a standard world in your terraria called world 666 ...

Hey! My name is Nikolay (hereinafter Kolya). Me and my friends Dimon and Oleg are playing a video game: Terraria. That night, we again played Terraria in Multiplayer, the three of us, communicating in Skype along the way. But soon Oleg went to bed. in the morning I left for the Country Camp. We were left alone with Dimon (By the way, I haven't forgotten yet, he is an excellent programmer and was well versed in programs and even sometimes made changes to them). He told me that someone with a nickname knocked on his ICQ and asked to add to his friends and accept the file “TerrariaFoProfessionals”. Dimon said that he did not trust him and that the file was considered more viral. To which Unknown replied: "You shouldn't be so ... It won't end well." I replied to a friend that most likely he was right. We talked, finished playing and went to bed.
The next morning we sat down to play, before that we said goodbye to Oleg. We started playing, decided to start the game from scratch, but suddenly Dima got a call and said that he urgently needed to come to his mother's friend. We said goodbye and I decided to turn off the computer and go outside. I looked out the window, saw Dima leave and wanted to turn off the computer, when suddenly I saw that someone wrote to me on Skype. It was Dimon. He asked: “Why are you disconnected? We play further. I replied: "You just left." I wanted to turn off Skype, as “Dimon” began to annoyingly write “Play, Play, Play ...” Suddenly, instead of “Play”, he began to write “Ngray”. I tried to call, but he dropped. I thought that he must have reasons to annoyingly write to me and I turned on Terraria and went into Multiplayer. With Dimon, the world was transformed. The background was the forest, but everything was like in the lands of corruption. We were here even during the day. Not only slugs, but also Zombies and Demon Eyes, and in large numbers, like in the night of the bloody moon. They killed my upgraded character with one blow and shouted: "You are dead, Nikolai", and in Russian and, considering that my nickname is, and this was my only character. I got scared in earnest and asked in Skype: “What was that, Dimon?”. He replied: “The file“ TerrariaForProfessionals ”. I asked again: “So you accepted it, Dimon? What for?". His answer amazed me: I am not Dimon. I am the one who hides in your nightmares. ” Then my Persian and Persian Dimona burned down, a third came running and he looked like a devil and was several times larger than ordinary characters. He burned everything down. After that, I turned off the computer and ran off for a walk. Later my mother called me and asked me to go to another area of ​​the city for documents.
When I arrived (and this happened after 2-3 hours), I saw an ambulance. All I heard was, "He's pretty young for that." I looked at the one for whom the ambulance was called and saw Dimona. I asked what had happened and they answered: “He has a heart attack. He may not survive. By the way, you are his friend Nikolai, right? He left a video for you and asked to be handed it over to you. ” I took Dimon's flash drive and came home. There was a video recording and a file on it. I started watching the video. Here are all the words of my friend: “If something happens to me, please transfer this video together with the file that is on one flash drive to my friend Nikolai. Kolyan, you see the file on this flash drive. Never copy it to the Terraria folder. It may be dangerous. I still accepted the file from that user. So I'll start, perhaps. " Then he plays and suddenly falls. I looked and wanted to write "a couple of affectionate" to that user but he no longer existed.
A week later, it was reported that Dmitry had recovered and could live peacefully, but he would be left just in case and for early heart attack examinations. I visited him 2 days later, because at first, relatives came to him. When I went to see him, he recounted the events of the day he had a seizure. He copied that file into the game folder and ran it. But when he started playing, the only terrain was that like the Lands of Corruption and Hell combined. Each mob called him by name and patronymic and shouted to him: "Die." But when the skeletron with the eyes of Cthulhu and the body of the Eater of Worlds jumped out, Dima almost fainted. But He uttered a terrible cry, and then showed two bodies: Oleg and Kolya and added “You are next”. After that, the “skeletron” pulled its hands to Dima and Dima fell with a fit. When asked why Dima accepted that file, he replied: Oleg sent it to me via Skype. After that, my heart began to beat faster, and I told that story about when Dima left and they began to write to me through his account. We decided to find out what was the matter.
When Dima was discharged from the hospital, we started looking for everything about the format of that file: ter. After 2 weeks of unsuccessful searches, we found about this rare file extension. These are add-ons for terraria. We downloaded a program to open these files and changed a few things. Then we decided to try it out. We drank a sedative and started playing. The Skeletron is missing. Strange location and mob phrases are gone. They only began to say at death: "I am dying." Everything seems to be done and it is safe to play Terraria. We play, but not for long and after drinking a sedative. And did not appear.

Part 1.

This story happened to me in Terraria, and I want to tell you. I just downloaded Terraria, a friend advised me. He created a new character, it was a pale brunette in a gray shirt and blue trousers, named him John. He created the world, he was named My World. John appeared in a grassy area with trees. Everything looked pretty colorful, I liked it. While I was figuring out what's what and asking the Guide about all sorts of nonsense (who has not played terraria - the Guide is an NPC who gives starting tips), the sun was already in the middle of the screen. John cut down some trees and built the first hideout for himself and the Guide. Until it got completely dark, I decided to send the character to the cave. John soon came across one. Going down, my character found a couple of chests. The chest contained a spear, some ingots, and a healing potion. I decided to take the chest with me. I already smelled the ores, and went on an adventure. Then a shadow flashed across the edge of the screen. I thought it was a zombie (I already read Terraria Wiki and understood a little what was what) and John stopped listening to me. It lasted about a minute, but this time was enough for me to make a small brick factory at home

With a little apprehension, John continued on his way. I forgot to mention that the character is hardcore, which means death is forever. Descending, I found more chests of potions and ingots. I dug up a bunch of iron ore. Suddenly I came across a wall of ebonite. Further on, for some reason, there was darkness, which was not dispersed by torches. I thought it was okay, I'm just a noob and I don't know that. There was nothing to do, John got out of the cave and went to sit in the "house". All night I sat inside and looked at crafting recipes. Crafted ingots, including iron armor, a silver sword and a pickaxe. It was very good for a complete nubas. Just lucky, the walls of the cave were half ore.

I began to decide what to do. To go to the distortion, to the dungeon, but anywhere it would be dangerous. My thoughts were concentrated on the wall. John returned to her, but what was my surprise when I saw the plate! It read: YOU ARE YOU SLA6. And suddenly a character came up from behind and pierced John with an animation that was not natural for Terraria! But I was in the single! Blood gushed from John, splattering against the ebonite wall. The unknown turned to me (to me!) And laughed viciously

Part 2.

The game flew to the menu. I clicked Singleplayer. My character was on the character selection menu. He was kind of strange. The clothes were faded, the bright blue eyes were dull, and there was a large wound on the chest. I launched John and My World. John was lying on the floor of the house. Yes, I was! He did not get up. It seemed to me that I could see his face perfectly. He cried. Suddenly I saw a face on him full of determination. He got up but walked slowly. I directed him to the chest, but it fell. And then the Guide entered the room. He gave John a potion and tied him in bandages !!! Then John got up without any problems. A conversation window opened with the phrase: "Don't go there unprepared again." What do I want? Demonic things! After a couple of days of playing, I got good armor and great tools that can break ebony. I decided to send John there. Into the cave. Went down, read the tablet again. "M0L0DETS, NOW3R YOU G0T0V"

John began to break down the wall. Climbed inside. There was hell! But how?! It can't be that high! John climbed out of the cave and tried to dig to that place. Hell was not there! But through the cave it was possible to get there! I decided to go deeper. When that character suddenly jumped out and wanted to hit John with a trident, but he turned out to be more agile - the enemy was already hanging on my blade. It was an old man. Suddenly a dialog box opened: "You are definitely ready ... take ... the trident and this ... sphere" And he died. The items were in inventory. Trident. What is this sphere? Doesn't apply, doesn't do anything. It looked like a translucent ball with a rainbow inside. I made up my mind to steer John deeper

Terraria Breath of Death Part 6 The deeper I went, the more terrible it became to me. I noticed that John was going down for a very long time. By that time, I already had a GPS. But he must have been lying! For a small world, huge numbers lit up in it! Suddenly I saw a statue of a knight, 20 times the size of the character. There was a hole underneath. It immediately occurred to me to insert a sphere into it. Suddenly, enemy characters began to march from all sides! John fought them off, but now they were all ready, when suddenly another character ran out of the darkness. I didn't expect this, so he managed to stab John. John groaned, it seemed to me that the groans would now erupt from the speakers. The game flew to the menu.

I turned off the game and went to bed. I had nightmares all night. When I woke up, I had no desire to play. But curiosity overcame, I turned on the computer and launched Terraria. Clicked on a single, my character was not there. Then I created a tanned girl in blue clothes, I decided that her name would be Anna. As soon as Anna appeared in the house (the world is the same), a character ran out of the door ... again! Immediately I noticed the Guide lying on the floor. He said: "Please ... destroy ... the sphere ...". Anna went to a strange cave with things that had come out of nowhere. There they were already waiting for her. Numerous characters attacked Anna, but she successfully fought back. Then the character from the darkness reappeared, I managed to press the button, and the body of the decapitated character passed a couple of steps before falling. Never expected to see this in Terraria. Then Anna went deeper. Suddenly John jumped out from above. He was covered in blood and had no lower jaw. "Where is the damn sphere ?!" - I thought. John seemed to hear me and turned. A sphere hung on his back. He attacked me. But Anna defended herself! She deflected the blow! Is it possible?! A fight ensued. After 5 minutes of useless waving swords, John took the sphere, put his hands into it and pulled out a pistol (there is a pistol in Terraria) and shot Anna in the head. But she remained alive. She fell to her knees. John walked over to her and turned to ME. "You lost me. You will lose her too. This is the realm of desires. I am no longer a character, I am a creature. Living being. And you won't kill me. " I took my hands off the keyboard. I was shocked. Then Anna herself jumped up and struck the sphere with her sword. "Fool," John said and began to become transparent. He dissapeared. Anna rose from the cave. On the surface, I saw a huge castle. There was a sign nearby. "YOU ARE NOT A WINNER."

All fans of the game Terraria, probably already know about the mirror, which is your savior in difficult times, it brings you home when you so desire. But all this is a heinous lie from the creators of the game. Yes, for some, everything works fine, but something went wrong for me! It all started with how I carelessly played Minecraft, until my friend told me about a game called Terraria, he described it to me not very colorfully, since he himself had not downloaded it yet. I decided that this was a stupid game that would not interest me at all. I was wrong ... I was so wrong that it is impossible to imagine! I went to the dacha, by that time I was already so bored with Minecraft that I decided to install Terraria to see why my friend liked this game so much. I started playing, and immediately developed, because I already had heaps of experience. I read about this game and learned a lot, and I became even more successful. I went to try my hand at the dungeon, I made myself a Star Cannon and every night I collected stars, and I kept repeating to myself my motto: “I'm ready!”. And yes, I won a victory over who inexperienced newbies are so afraid of. But, I knew that dangerous monsters are found in the dungeon, and all the potions were used to defeat ...

It took quite a long walk to get home, but I knew that there is a magic mirror that returns to the place where you appeared in this world. So I reached the house, there without any emotions wandered like a herd of sheep, my only friends and comrades in this world, they were the Guide, Dryad, Nurse, Seller and Weapon Seller. Recently, I disliked the guide, because he let in a lot of zombies into an anomaly unknown to me, like the Blood Moon, although it's strange, where did the zombies come from? Where then are their graves? But I decided not to bother with this issue and went to the chambers of the skeletons, which so anxiously guard their wealth. And I went to take it away that they did not earn anything, but just got out of the void! I went there with the aim of finding a mirror no matter what. How I wanted to stop myself then, but too late. I diligently searched for this mirror, and so I found it, but it was somehow strange that the skeletons literally drove me to the mirror, and when I found it, they suddenly disappeared. I dug down and saw something strange. Oh god, it was hell! I don't know what drew me there, but the desire was stronger than the warnings, and I went where all the sinful souls go for the terrible things they do, maybe there I can find the one because of whom there was an inscription that the Guide died, when did i see hell? It made me very happy, and I went to hell, to say thank you to the one who does all these good, but at the same time, evil deeds for me? In hell, everything was not as simple as in the dungeon, here they just wanted to throw me into the lava. I don't know why the locals disliked me so much. And finally, they managed to throw me into the lava, but before the fall I looked in the mirror, and I realized that now this is my friend. At home I saw something strange. The room where the Guide was killed was at the very top. How did the guide die, but the rest did not die? It was very strange. This time, I decided to go to the left side of the world to see what was there and if there was anything useful. There was nothing but a cave that went deeper and deeper and deeper. On the way, I did not meet anything, and there was a feeling that all this was done by a man, but I knew that I was alone in this world with a mind not like a ram's. At the bottom I found a sign. It was written on it: "Do not use a mirror, if you value your life ...". The entrance to the sign was blocked up, and the remains of a zombie lay on the ground under the sign. I don't believe in superstition, but I was still afraid to use a mirror. And then, everywhere around me, worms began to crawl. I was able to fight back, but they all crawled. I almost died and used a mirror, but I did not appear at home, but disappeared! And where I was, a mirror fell, after a while an inscription appeared: "You died by the hand of evil." I immediately cut off the game! I decided not to tell anyone until I figured it out. The next day I had to start over on the same map, as I was playing in hardcore mode. I open the game, and there is still my character, I was surprised! But still deleted it. I went to my World 1 map. There was already a completely new map !!! I didn't change it. There was no one in the house, who was then. But I decided: “You are ready!”. And I started all over again, but for some reason I had no luck, like the first time. And because of that, I have a bunch of questions. But then I went to the dungeon, killed the guard, went down. But there I was also unlucky, for the first time, they drove me along the way to the mirror, and now they don't let me in at all. But I found a mirror and applied it. But I didn't teleport. The mirror expanded to my height and landed on the ground. There I clearly saw my reflection. But suddenly the reflection had black eyes, hands reached out of the mirror and dragged me into the mirror, the mirror became smaller again, as it was. But the inscription you died was gone. I continued to play, but I appeared in the pitch darkness underground. It was already sunset from above. And then the night came. I saw how several mirrors were immediately applied around me, I did that too. I just appeared on the surface as a zombie! And then I understood everything that was happening! The guide knew about the mirror, and he was killed. The monsters who urged me began to be controlled. In Hell, I was pushed together so that my appearance was imprinted on the mirror. The worms were also controlled when I read the tablet. And now I was not allowed to go to the mirror. The new card is also because of this. Everything in order to take souls into the mirror. And control an army of monsters. I was able to close the game with saving. I immediately wanted to write about it on the forum, but then I received an e-mail message: “It’s not worth it if life is dear”. And I didn't write anything, but I didn't want to play Terraria either. I just waited. Was waiting for something. And on the forum they wrote the same thing that happened to me, and about the message too! I immediately called him on Skype, right after the message came to the forum, but he did not answer. Suddenly a video came to the forum. There, a 14-year-old teenager films how he plays Terraria, everything happens with him the same way as me. Then he gets the same threatening message. He started writing on the forum. When he finished, nothing happened. But then his reflection appeared in the mirror, which stood not far from him, his eyes sharply blackened.

Almost everyone who played Minecraft knows this funny story with Herobrine. Ha ha ha, well, yes, about an alternative character who runs around the world, builds everything and scares the player with his appearance. "Notch's dead brother" - what nonsense, I thought. In general, I am skeptical about such things and do not wander in the clouds. I don’t believe in all kinds of ghosts, demons and other garbage, I need iron facts and proofs. And despite this, I can not explain what happened to me when I played Terraria. I HOPE someone just made fun of me.
I played single player as usual. It was one of the first worlds I created, but after a while I abandoned it. I didn't delete the character, but simply created a new one in a new world. I wanted to start from scratch and do everything right. I played, everything was fine. Having obtained Molten Armor and the same equipment, I decided to return to the old world and build a normal base there. How to repay him a debt, to make him the way he could come out, if I had more experience and knowledge.
When I loaded this world, it was late evening (game time). I started to demolish the old house (it was pathetic for the small rooms, there were only the Instructor and the Trader) and then I saw the inscription on the screen "You feel how everything is getting cold inside of you &". It's strange. Does such an inscription appear not only after the destruction of the Shadow Orb? Never mind. A few minutes later the night "The bloody moon is rising &" fell. So that's the thing, I thought. I continued to demolish the building, brushing off annoying zombies and demonic eyes. I had excellent equipment, they could not harm me, and it was too lazy to wait until dawn locked up.
And then something strange began. My first character had dark purple hair tied in pigtails, and she was dressed in black and white. And while I was demolishing the walls of the house, I noticed right on the border of the light falling from the torches of some kind of zombie. It was too dark, I could only make out his legs and thought that he was just stuck behind a hillock, not enough brains to jump up and come up to me. Well, so I have less problems, right?
It seemed to me that the bloody moon had been in the sky longer than usual, but finally morning came. I took apart almost the entire building before I realized that I didn't have enough wood even for the side walls, let alone the back. I had to go cut down some trees. I walked forward without a specific goal. This world was not well researched, so the trees had to be nearby. Soon I saw a narrow tunnel going straight down. Probably one of my first mines. I don’t remember exactly why I was digging here, well, and still wait from a complete noob? I jumped down, thinking that it couldn't be too deep here. I fell and I fell & and kept falling. While I was flying down, a message appeared on the screen "Echo is spreading screams of terror around you" and immediately after that I found myself in a "hellish" layer, falling into a pool of lava. The screen read: "You were killed." When did I dig this mine? I don’t remember getting to that depth in this world. It seemed to me that I had not even reached the stone layer. It's strange. Well, then this hole was here before me. What other options are there? Yes, it did. Just with a very small chance, a world was generated, where there was already a tunnel straight to hell. Why not, with my luck. But as I waited for the character to revive, I noticed movement out of the corner of my eye. At the very edge of the screen, left & was it a zombie? I didn't pay attention. Maybe just an imp? It should be. Well, sure, some imp came to laugh at my stupid death. Or maybe he also dug a tunnel for fun!
I had no idea how close I was to the truth.
I closed the hole. I've had enough of falling into pits. Found some trees and went back to work. The merchant was not there. It's strange. He must have disappeared because he had no home left. The instructor was still there. I went to the workbench to make some wooden walls. I guess I accidentally clicked on the Instructor, because a window appeared on the screen: "It's so cold here." What? I clicked on the Help option. "I can not help you. Nobody can. ”Goose bumps ran down my spine. I pressed Help several times, but the Instructor kept repeating "It's so cold in here." Okay. Must be a joke from the developers. Very funny. It just doesn't happen. Either a prank, or someone broke into my computer, or something else. So I decided to continue building the house. And I ran out of tree again.
I was a little nervous, so I no longer walked to the side of the map where there was a hole in the ground. God takes care of the cherished, right?
Wrong.
On my way to the other side of the map, I noticed that the screen got & weird. As if I were in the lands of Corruption, only there was nothing like that around. The sky darkened, the clouds changed color, but there were only ordinary trees around. I continued to mine wood, trying not to pay attention, when suddenly I noticed another shaft ahead. A hole that goes straight down. Just like the first one. I jumped over it and went on. Another hole. And further. Too many for coincidence. Goose bumps covered my hands. This is a prank, someone is playing a prank on me.
An inscription appeared on the screen: "The instructor was killed." But how? Can mobs kill him? (up to version 1.0.3 he was almost immortal)
I ran back to the base, thinking that a goblin invasion had begun, the message of which I had overlooked. Along the way, I kept getting messages "You feel like everything is growing cold inside you." They just kept showing up on the screen like some kind of spam. “You feel how everything is growing cold inside you. You feel how everything is growing cold inside you, ”over and over again. Turn back. I froze.
It was already kind of creepy, but I could not stop. I needed to go there, I had to find out what killed the Instructor!
In vain, in vain I did not stop. True, it would be better if I just left this world, deleted it along with the first character and never remembered it again. But I came to the place where my house stood, an almost complete base. But he wasn't there. Instead, I saw a flat earthen area and two small holes filled with lava. One contained what had once been the Instructor. From above it was covered with earth. There were signs near both pits.
A sign near the pit with the Instructor read: “Here the Instructor LIES. He helped the traitor and was KILLED. "
The inscription on the second tablet, standing near an open pit of lava, made me pale. “Here YOU are lying. Was my friend, but broke DREAMS. " Was that a joke from Blue? (you turned me BLUE reference to the name of one of the developers approx. translator) What a stupid joke? And then my old character appeared on the screen. My very first character that was created with this world. She walked across the screen and her eyes were completely black. Just black dots - as if she had no eyes at all. She kept walking towards me and the screen began to shake. As if the game began to "slow down", it was going on, but suddenly it was far from me. A moment and she is next, comes to me from the edge of the screen, and then again behind. The screen is obscured by the words "You feel how everything is growing cold inside you", then "The echo carries screams of horror around you." I felt uneasy. The music changed to a boss fight, then the Corruption melody, sped up incredibly, started playing backwards and very slowly. I panicked. I don't know what happened, but it was too much for me and I decided to quit the game. Pressed ESC and tried to click on "Save and Exit". I pressed the exit option over and over and the music got louder. The screen began to flash, day quickly changed to night and back; just before the screen was Corruption, and immediately the Blood Moon. Something incredible was happening to my old character, she was floating at the top of the screen. "The merchant has been killed", "The dryad has been killed", "The echo spreads screams of terror around you", "The nurse has been killed", "The Demoman has been killed", "They pray that death will take them", "The arms dealer has been killed ". By this time, the change of day and night was happening so quickly that the image on the screen turned into a flickering of colors, and my character's sprite had red streaks under his eyes & was he crying blood? "You pray for death." There was a close-up of my old character on the screen. The image continued to enlarge, the music playing backwards became so loud that I got scared for the speakers. Suddenly, the screen showed the words "You were killed", and from the speakers came such a sound as if thousands of zombies had died at the same time.
Then the game closed by itself.
The program just ended. I launched it again and tried to log into my old character & failed to load the save. World failed to load save. Both files are corrupted. The main character could not be loaded either. Heck!
I created a new character. Returned to the mastered world, just to get it all out of my head. I didn't want to think about what happened, it must have been someone's stupid joke or some kind of debug game mode ... or something else. With a new character, I built myself a castle. "You feel how everything is growing cold inside you."
I rebooted my computer. Since then I have not played Terraria. And he couldn't even if he wanted to. The game no longer started. I just refused to boot. I uninstalled it, reinstalled it, but it didn't help. There are no save files left on the computer, no trace that I ever played it at all. I do not know why I am writing about this here, maybe so that the developers can see it, if it was their joke. Or to warn people if not.
Sometimes I wish my friends were as down to earth realists as I am. One might guess that a statement like “my computer is possessed by an evil character in the game who no longer lets me play Terraria” would only cause a friend to be surprised and want to prove to me that I was crazy. Although, in his place, I would have done the same, just out of principle. He and I don't take our word for anything until we see the evidence with our own eyes, even if it's the words of our best friend. It has always been this way, and so far it has only made things better. But I wish I had kept my mouth shut this time and pretended nothing happened. But I could not resist and here is my story. Hope readers learn from my mistakes. I used to think that someone was joking with me, but I don't think so anymore. Over the past few weeks, so much has happened that I no longer believe that a person could do it.

So after that horrific incident with the game, I called Jerry. We have been friends since school, two nerds, we had to stay close to survive. Then we went to one college and so on. In short, I called him. He told me what happened, shared his thoughts that one of the developers has a very strange sense of humor or something happened to my game. “Come on, don't tell me that now you also believe in this garbage. Probably, it's time to call the polite guys in white coats! ”- he just laughed into the phone. He didn't believe me, and I understand him. I just wanted to tell someone about what happened. Someone to tell me that I'm not crazy. Maybe then everything would fall into place. “Well, since you can't play Terraria anymore, I'll come and take a look at your computer. What if my copy starts up on it? ”He said in a feigned, carefree tone. Why not, I thought. That is, it could be just a virus or something like that, and it will help launch the game. It won't get worse, will it? It would be better if I refused his help.
He came the next day. I brought a USB flash drive and connected it to my computer. Launched Terraria. It worked, but something seemed strange to me. For a moment, I thought there was a Blood Moon instead of a normal night on the main menu screen. But Jerry quickly launched the game, and I had no time to see exactly. Probably, it just seemed. His world has loaded successfully. Everything looked completely normal. He looked around, checked his buildings, entered the dungeon, then even generated a new world. Everything was normal. No oddities. He left the game and looked at me. "A possessed computer, then?" And we both doubled over with laughter. Of course, it was complete nonsense. I was just playing for too long, or the files got messed up while loading, or the modified server file did something with them. There is a simple explanation for everything.
For a while, I even forgot about this case. My character already had all the necessary things, and I decided to wait for the next version, which will not have this strange bug. On the forum, I did not find anything similar, maybe some kind of virus really. They are not capable of that, right? About a week later, Jerry called me. Probably wanted to mock my "obsessed computer" again. His voice was somehow hoarse, as if he had caught a cold. “Dude, are you sick there?” I asked. “I sent you a video,” he whispered back. Then I added something else, but I couldn't make it out because of his hoarse voice. Like, "look at him." Well, okay, probably a trailer for some game wants to persuade me to play it together. I sat down at my computer and checked my mail. I put the file up for download, returned to it: "What kind of video, Jerry?" Silence in response. "Jerry?" Silence. Hmm, maybe he hung up or went to the toilet. Who knows.
I started the video. I caught my breath. It was Terraria. The cursor has selected a single game. Then the character Jman. World 1. It was dark, the player was standing on some platforms, several torches were lighting him. Probably wants to show me how cool he wets the bosses. "Awake!" an inscription appeared at the bottom of the screen. Who has awakened? Suddenly the screen went black and there was a very loud death rattle of a dying zombie, followed by the words "You were killed." I got angry and jumped up from the computer. "JERRY, WHAT HR (beep) ARE YOU DOING?" DO YOU WANT ME TO PROMOTE ME TO A HEART ATTACK? " Here is a goat! I knew he didn't believe me, but to joke like that? Everything is clear, he hung up, so as not to give himself away with laughter.
But the video is not over yet.
The player is reborn. It was still night. The character was standing in the house, but it did not look like the house built by Jerry. Two floors, very small. It looked very realistic, as if it was being built following the example of someone's real house. Jerry had as much building ability as ballet. Maybe I downloaded someone's map?
Jman: who are you
Jman: why are you doing this to me
You feel how everything is growing cold inside you ...
You feel an unkind look on you ...
He went up to the second floor. There was a picture on the wall. Very strange, I have never noticed in the play of pictures. He went into a small bedroom and closed the door behind him. There was something like a closet behind him. Suddenly, the cabinet doors flew open and the screen went black again. Then there is silence. There was no text, black screen. But the closet was empty, so nothing strange could happen, right? I looked at the screen and waited. Several minutes have passed, and I decided to check how long this video is.
The player had numbers 0:01.
I watched this video for twenty minutes, and it was only one second long. It's not funny anymore. I wanted to close the player, but then a voice came from the speakers: "PLEASE WAIT". I shuddered. There was still no picture on the screen, only Jerry's voice. He kept asking, “WHO ARE YOU? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS WITH ME? "
Suddenly he appeared on the screen. It was him, Jerry. It was dark all around, his figure being pulled out of the darkness by the illuminated webcam. He looked beaten, his clothes were torn, and bruises were visible on his face and neck. Suddenly, the image disappeared again, and again there was the rattle of the dying zombie, followed by the inscription "You were killed."
The video seems to be over. “Jerry, what happened to you, man? Are you okay? Should I call the police? Jerry?" I looked at my phone. Did he hang up again? I felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen. I have checked the incoming calls. Jerry didn't call. I dialed his number, but he was busy. Suddenly I got another letter from Jerry in the mail. Another video.
Trying not to think about the consequences, I downloaded this video too. This was another video from Terraria, but it was filmed a little earlier, in the daytime. The sun was shining in the sky, and the main character seems to have just found that house. He opened the door and looked inside, but for some reason it was very dark inside, as if it were an underground cave. He took out a candle and began to explore the house. I reached the opposite wall and went up to the second floor. The house looked normal, and I think it looked the same to him, except that I can't say for sure, but somehow it seems to me that this house just appeared in this world out of nowhere. He checked all the rooms and stopped in a small bedroom with a wardrobe. The character stopped moving. I didn't know what was going on until the closet opened and the light of a candle filled the small room.
It was an exact copy of his character.
Only his eyes were completely black. Echoes screams of terror around you. You feel how everything is growing cold inside you. Labels began to fill the screen. The music changed, distorted, then slowed down and went backwards. He ran out of the room, all the doors closing by themselves behind him. He ran outside and kept running until he stopped at the edge of a lake of lava. Right on the surface, from somewhere there was a whole lake of lava, to the very edge of the screen. He started digging down. He probably thought that if he dug deep enough, he could get around the lava.
He continued to dig until he fell into a long tunnel. It seemed that he was reaching from the house itself. He couldn't dig deeper, because the floor was ebony, and the character looked newly created, and his tools were silver. He decided to walk through the tunnel, I think, hoping to get as far away from that awful place as possible. A light appeared at the far end of the tunnel. Could it be sunlight? He seemed to be thinking the same thing. Soon he entered the candlelit room.
I don't know how to describe what happened next. Parts of the bodies of other characters were lying on the floor. The longer he stood in the room, the louder the music played, and the more its sound became distorted. You feel how everything is growing cold inside you. The inscriptions continued to appear on the screen. He didn't move. You feel an unkind look on you. His character stood still, but I thought I heard someone crying. Was he crying? Did he record his voice on video?
The screen went black.
You feel how everything is growing cold inside you. Echoes screams of terror around you. The inscriptions appeared on the screen in a stream, and the death screams of zombies were heard one after another. The screen began blinking, and body parts fell from the ceiling of the room. He ran away. The light continued to pulsate around him. Something appeared in the far corner of the screen - it was a sprite of his character.
He got out of the tunnel. I tried to jump over the house. Day and night changed, the sun and the moon ran across the sky. The music got too loud and I turned off the speakers. He finally managed to get through the house, and he found himself at a small pit that looked like a grave. He went up to her and read the tablet.
“Here YOU are lying. Roses are RED, violets are BLUE. Your flesh will SATURATE me. " He ran past the grave. The screen went dark. He was inside the house again. You feel how everything is growing cold inside you. The inscription came out on the screen again. He ran to the exit of the house as quickly as possible, but there was no front door. Suddenly the house was dark. It was day outside, and inside the house there was darkness. Zombies howl, over and over again. A loud scream, I think it was Jerry's voice. He accurately recorded his voice on video. Suddenly the house lit up, parts of his character's body were lying on the floor. The “character” that looked eyeless appeared on the screen, the image on the screen grew, the music began to play faster. There was laughter, and there was a wardrobe on the screen. The inscription "You were killed."
The video is over. Heart jumped out of my chest. I closed the file and wrote a response letter. “Jerry, are you okay? Please, Jerry, call me, let me know! "
In response, I received a video. I do not believe in God, but after looking at it, I prayed that it all turned out to be some kind of horrible hallucination.
This time, Jerry was in the video, sitting in a chair at his computer. The room was dark, the light fell only on his face and figure. It seems he was busy with something. The focus of the camera moved a little and I saw the door of the cabinet. It opened. The camera zoomed in on the closet, zooming in on the image. She showed the darkness inside the closet, and when the familiar howl of a zombie was heard, inside was ...
It was Jerry. Jerry was sitting inside the closet. He seemed to have no eyes, and his mouth was so wide open that his lips were almost invisible. The camera circled around him, and the light began to flash. Then I heard a voice in the background. It was similar to Jerry's voice, but different. "I sent you a video." Everything went cold inside me. "Please don't watch it."
The screen went black.
I wanted to delete the videos, but you guessed it, they weren't there. No one. Even the one I just watched, as if it had evaporated. A few days later, the cops rang at my door. Turns out Jerry hasn't been home since he came to see me that day. No one saw him on his way home, so they decided to question me. Of course, I didn't tell them about the video or anything else, I don't believe myself, and why should I believe them? But, you ask, why am I still awake at night, but only during the day and with the lights on?
Jerry just never had a webcam.
