Herobrine, the artificially intelligent virus, was deleted, and the computer it resided in completely destroyed. Without their leader, the few survivors of its evil army were cast away into the shadows, and it finally looked like there would be peace and happiness throughout the servers of Minecraft.
But suddenly, and mysteriously, software began misbehaving. Sheep fell from the sky. Snowballs appeared out of nowhere. What seemed at first like harmless glitches quickly became dangerous; wolves turned vicious without warning, gaping holes appeared in the ground, and crops began to die.
Gameknight999, the User-that-is-not-a-user, returns to Minecraft at his friends urgent request just as a village is covered with lava then drowned in water.

Navigating through mind-numbing riddles and treacherous landscapes, Gameknight and his friends will race to find the command blocks and thwart the vile trap Herobrine has set for them all.
