I’m sure that you have used social media before. And you might be thinking about what the pros and cons of social media can bring.

Middle: Tom accidentlly walked into a cave and he has to face lots of challenges (like fighting other online gamers and getting food to survive) while working his way through the game, TopG told him that he has to go deeper into the cave so he can discover something that has never been discovered.
(This is where the main events happen. How do the characters try to solve the problem or face the challenge? Do they meet new people or discover something new?)

Climax: Tom discovers the acient sword of the first player in minecraft and steps into the end to face the ender dragon. he fights it but he accidently lost his sword and he thinks that al is lost but the TopG tells him that he has to jump into the void (where you will 99% die). but tom didn’t believe TopG but he tried anyway, because that tom was very gifited (because he made it all the way into the end without dieing) he didn’t die in the void he found he sword there he he used all of his strength to kill the ender dragon.
(This is the most exciting part of your story! What big event happens that changes everything? How do the characters react?)

Ending: Tom was asked by TopG if he wanted to stay in Minecraft or go back into the real world and he chose to stay in minecraft. after that. Tom became the first person to survive 1000 day in minecraft.

MB had just run in from the rain outside and he is very curious about what cafe sells, but he doesn’t know what to order. He heard the clinking of china cups, and he could smell the aroma of coffee wafting through the cafe. There were customers sipping coffee and considering getting another cup, all around him. The barista picked up the coffee grinder and tossed some coffee beans into it whilst jumping, and after that he threw the grinder up and took the lid off, grinding the beans in it until they are coffee ground. Meanwhile MB is starting at all the barista’s fancy movements like a child who was looking at the plane performance in the new toy episode.
