"You think you've defeated me? Well you're wrong because I'm back and I'm stronger than before! Hahahaha!"

Then the rest of the guards shot the monster with spears and a cannon and the monster was knocked into the lava. The remaining guards cheered because they defeated the monster. Suddenly the book started to shake and change. That’s when the Nether Monster’s eyes started to glow in the book and he reached his arms out of the book!! His arms were swiping as he climbed out of the book. When he gets out the book he is only 6 feet tall in Jeff’s world.

Jeff was homeschooled by Tommy the robot. Jeff had to read a book for school. He didn't pick a kid's book, he chose one of the grown up books and something magical happened that he never expected. Will he ever be the same?

He crawled into a cupboard under the sink. Half an hour went by and his parents had not returned. He kept waiting and then one hour later, his mom and dad WERE STILL NOT BACK!!

Jeff was scared out of his skull but he kept quiet and hid. Thirty minutes later, he did not hear or see the monster. So Jeff opened the cupboard and came out. He heard the door knob turning. Jeff thought it could be his parents, he ran to open the door.

The dogs were on top of him eating the food. Sparks were coming out of him. Jeff moved the dogs to safety and said, are you ok? I will get you help! He calls the guards over to help. They took Tommy to the Queen and King who decided to take him to the Mechanic 2000,&nbsp;the best mechanic in the world who can fix everything! Just before they left,&nbsp;Jeff’s mom reminded him that he needs to read a book for homework. Jeff found reading hard, but he knew he needed to work on it.

His parents asked, ”but what about the bullies?” “Max told me that they left,“ replied Jeff. His parents said, “You can go back next year.. “Ok,” sighed Jeff. Later that very day Jeff went to the kitchen and looked at the news and saw the first case of COVID-19. Jeff said, “Oh no.. can this week get any worse?!” Jeff went back to his room to play Minecraft. He was staring at the floor and saw a sharp tooth. Then he looked on his bed and he saw the book and it was glowing but not regularly&nbsp;it was glowing dark blue.&nbsp;He walked closer to the book and a portal opened. Jeff took the book and went in.

After tennis, Tommy would get Jeff’s lunch. Tommy, usually could go up and down the quartz stairs easily. He had a sensor to see if there were objects in his way. As he was bringing Jeff’s lunch up the stairs, there was a small toy in his way and he tripped and almost lost his balance. Just as he regained his balance, the palace guard dogs rushed at him to get the food he was carrying and he fell down the stairs. Jeff ran down the stairs and he saw Tommy.

He had never seen it on the bookshelf or anywhere else before. He put it under his shirt and tried to walk back regularly so none of the Palace staff would suspect him. When he got back to his room, he set the book on his bed and he started to read it. There was something powerful about the book. Magically, he was able to read all the words. The book had a small glow and he wondered if it was the sun from the window, but as he turned each page it glowed more and more! 

One day Jeff sat down in his favorite gaming chair and flipped open his laptop in his room. He was excited to play Minecraft with his friend Max, his friend who he had known since kindergarten. Jeff really wanted friends and wanted to be at school and not at home in the Palace. Jeff used to get bullied in kindergarten so his parents, the King and Queen, decided to homeschool him. His parents wanted to make it up to him, so they got him the latest robot with Artificial Intelligence.

Jeff was shocked to see the monster at the door!! The monster opened his mouth and Jeff saw his sharp teeth and screamed. There was nobody there to help! The giant monster ate him with one bite. As Jeff travelled down the monster’s throat, it looked gooey and he was horrified and disgusted. Everything stopped’.’’ He could not smell or hear or do anything. He thought he was dead. This must be how it feels to be dead Jeff thought to himself.

In his world,&nbsp;he can breathe deeper which allowed him to get taller and stronger but now the monster was smaller and weaker because he couldn’t breathe as well in this world. Jeff was frightened and he ran to go get the guards but they were not there and he didn’t know why. Even the guard dogs were gone! Then he looked out the window and saw that nobody was in the street. He ran to hide in his parents room, but the monster found him! He jumped on the bed and he faked him out and escaped out the door and ran to the kitchen.

It could teach Jeff, talk to him and write words. He was not just a teacher to Jeff, he was his only friend besides Max of course. Tommy and Jeff loved to play robo-tennis together. It’s like tennis but you wear a robo glove that has a magnet so you don't have to chase the ball. It just comes back to your hand. So Tommy and Jeff walked to the tennis court and they both put their tennis racket up and they started to play. Jeff swung the bat fast and Tommy swung the ball back to Jeff. Jeff and Tommy played this game for hours.

He was about to get a book from his bookshelf but he had read all the books so he was bored with them. Then he had an idea to sneak into his parent’s room since his mom and dad were out. Jeff decided to choose one of the grown-up books. He saw a book on the floor in his parent’s room and it said, How the Nether Monster was Defeated. That sounds like a cool book he thought and couldn’t resist taking it. There was something hypnotizing about the book.

JEFF woke up. He was very sweaty and scared. He thought that was all real. His mom said it was just a nightmare. Jeff was certain that it was real. Later that day he was back to playing Minecraft virtually with his friend Max. “I missed you a lot!” said Jeff. “All the bullies graduated“ said Max. Jeff, ask your parents if you could go back to school.” The next day after Jeff got some sleep, he asked his parents “can I go back to school tomorrow in person”?

On the pages, he saw cavemen with spears, people with swords and bows and arrows all fighting this 20ft monster that had a black face and blue arms and red horns and black claws. He had dark blue eyes and looked evil and had sharp teeth. They kept throwing arrows and spears but the monster swiped his giant hand and half of them flew into the lava.
