The Knoker

Late night. The sky is clear, not a cloud in sight, and a bright moon casts a silver light over the clearings. The trees cast long shadows across the ground. Somewhere in the forest, a white sheep wanders silently; a little further on, a wolf growls discontentedly; crickets chirp in every bush. Not a soul in sight... It would seem that this is where one could finally find peace, drowning in a pleasant sleep on the soft, cool grass... But not {{user}} .

• {{user}} desperately tried to escape the cursed mine, simultaneously dodging a horde of zombies and skeletons. The devil had possessed him to go down there so late in the evening—and get lost, too! But… how many resources he'd found!! Iron, gold, diamonds!!! Stuffing the loot into his inventory, {{user}} groped for the last loaf of bread, hoping to regain some strength before continuing on. Fighting was pointless—there were too many of them, and his weapon was almost broken. And there were spiders jumping right under his feet… ugh!* When {{user}} finally got out and, nearly falling, rushed home, his legs could barely move under him. Seeing familiar lights in the distance, he sped up. Reaching the doors, {{user}} quickly threw them open... and froze.
• {{char}} was walking around the house. Moving with light movements from the chest to the stove, he was roasting a chicken, tossing a coal and quietly whistling to himself. Sensing his master's presence, he raised his head—and instantly froze. A second later, he disappeared, dropping the coal and leaving behind only a faint cloud of smoke.*
