Plot

Minecraft:Nico White is a member of the White Family, a family of adventurers with the ability to access the Minecraft:Mod Power Imagination. After being overrun by Minecraft:zombies while mining, Nico awakens the ability himself, using it to craft a Super Long Stone Sword. He decides to fulfill his dream of reaching the World's End, like his father left to do himself, and sets out on a journey.

Characters

Template:JP: A young boy from the Template:JP, and the protagonist. He is 10 years old and was born in Template:JP.
Template:JP: A man cursed by a Mod Power that transformed him into a Minecraft:zombie. He travels the world trying to find a cure to his ability, joining Nico on his journey. Unlike the rest of his village, he kept his intelligence even after being transformed.
Template:JP: A ninja who aims to be the strongest swordsman. He was kicked out of his village for his lack of stealth. After losing to Nico and Gray, he resolved to get stronger, and became an adventurer himself. He frequently follows Nico's party, remaining out-of-sight of his party members until called (though he remains obviously visible to other bystanders).
Template:JP: A small Minecraft:creeper trying to reach the World's End. They can speak, and join Nico on his journey.
Template:JP: An Minecraft:iron golem designed to look like a human woman. She joins Nico on his journey.
Template:JP: Nico's mother and Icco's wife.

Template:JP: The daughter of the mayor of Template:JP. Nico helped her defeat a mysterious monster that attacked the village's animals.
Minecraft:Giant Spider: The giant spider was a massive Minecraft:spider that attacked Carhon Village. Through the Growth Minecraft:Mod Power, it grew to 30x the size of an average spider, and gained enough intelligence for basic speech and logic. It was ultimately killed by Nico after it kidnapped and nearly ate Lily.
Template:JP: A sailor that hired Nico and Gray to defend him against a Minecraft:Drowned outbreak caused by a recent shipwreck, in exchange for sailing them across a stretch of ocean. His brother was among the turned, and Dylan ultimately put him down himself.

Template:JP: A traveling merchant. He ran into Nico's party and, under the guide of friendship, tried to kidnap Navy to sell as an oddity.
Template:JP: A Minecraft:Stray with the "Blizzard" Mod Power. It was captured by a human exiled from their village, who attempted to transfer their consciousness into it to become immortal; however, the transfusion failed, and the Blizzard Stray was simply left with the person's hatred for other humans.
Template:JP: A bandit trio consisting of Template:JP, Template:JP, and Template:JP. They chased Nico's party out of Template:JP in an attempt to get his Mod Power.

Template:JP: A bandit with the ability to control Minecraft:mobs with his Mob Tamer Mod Power.
Template:JP: A man who travels with Icco White. He has the Clairvoyance Mod Power, located in his left eye. Due to this, he usually covers both his eyes with cloth.
