Chapter 81:- Story Behind Entity 303
[🎉 Shoutout to Nick & Random_Debuff for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]
Everyone knew HIM was powerful.
But only within the bounds of the game.
A GM, on the other hand, was something else entirely—a force that transcended the game's mechanics.
No matter how strong HIM was, it was hard to imagine him defeating a GM.
That's why many players believed this was it. The final battle. The end of HIM.
Speculation ran rampant. Livestreams about the showdown rocketed to the top of the forums, with more and more players tuning in to witness the event.
Steve was among them.
Having closely studied everything about HIM, Steve couldn't help but be awestruck by his meteoric rise. HIM's growth was faster than anything he had ever seen.
Steve had thought that warning other players would be enough to slow HIM down.
He was wrong. HIM's path to power clearly wasn't limited to just defeating players.
Still, the appearance of a game GM finally gave Steve some relief.
After all, he trusted the GM's abilities. HIM was, at the end of the day, just part of the game.
"It's finally about to end," Steve muttered, watching intently.

Xu Yuan had been taking it easy lately. He was giving the Eternal Guild players some breathing room while waiting to rack up enough kills to unlock the epic siege mod.
During this downtime, Xu Yuan had ventured to the Lower Realm to gather some Rotten Flesh.
With control of a young Ender Dragon recently unlocked, Xu Yuan was curious to see if he could raise it to adulthood.
There was something special about this Ender Dragon.
He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but it was a gut feeling—similar to the one he'd had about 007 and the little zombie before.
These days, Xu Yuan alternated between feeding the Ender Dragon and occasionally tossing some Rotten Flesh to 007.
Neither of them seemed particularly fond of the stuff, though.
The Ender Dragon was easier to handle—Xu Yuan could force it to eat.
007, on the other hand, was unpredictable. Sometimes it would devour the flesh enthusiastically; other times, it would outright refuse.
After shoving a chunk of Rotten Flesh into the Ender Dragon's maw, Xu Yuan felt a disturbance from one of his avatars.
When he saw the words "Admin 303" appear before him, he froze.
"What? 303 is an admin?!"

The name "Entity 303" was familiar to most Minecraft players.
His story was a legendary one, second only to HIM's.
Like HIM, 303's origins were shrouded in mystery.
It was said that Entity 303 began as a disgruntled Mojang programmer, fired by Notch for a coding error. Fueled by anger and his deep understanding of Minecraft's code, he created a malicious entity known as 303.
This entity would invade players' worlds, killing them or even hacking their computers. If a player encountered him in the game, their screen would fill with "Error 303" messages.
Though Mojang officially debunked the rumors—just as they had with HIM—the legend persisted.
In the lore, Entity 303 was portrayed as nearly as powerful as HIM. Some even said their strengths were equal.
He was said to have four lives, growing stronger with each death.
The first version of 303 was weak. After his first death, his attack power skyrocketed. By his third life, his appearance began to change, and by his fourth, he became virtually invincible.
Players who encountered him in this final form were almost always instantly annihilated.
In fan works, HIM and 303 were often portrayed as rivals. They had clashed in a titanic battle, with HIM ultimately banishing 303 to the Void.
But even HIM couldn't kill him. It was only a temporary imprisonment.
If HIM, the Dark Lord himself, needed 14 minutes to subdue 303, his strength was undeniable.
Xu Yuan hadn't expected the world's Admin 303 to be the legendary Entity 303.
"Are we about to see history repeat itself?"
While Admin 303's current appearance didn't fully match the legend—aside from his outfit—Xu Yuan doubted it was mere coincidence.
Since the Death Knight had already appeared, it was only a matter of time before the other legends surfaced.
This Admin 303 would likely evolve into the full-fledged Entity 303 after a series of events, just as 007 had undergone countless trials to become the Death Knight.
With that thought, Xu Yuan felt a small sense of relief.
"At least it's just Admin 303 for now…"
Even with his current strength, facing Entity 303's fourth form would be suicide.
But Admin 303 wasn't exactly easy prey either.
He was essentially in Creative Mode. If he decided to use the command /kill him, things would go south fast.
Xu Yuan couldn't help but wonder—could admins in Creative Mode even kill themselves?
It wasn't something he had considered before, but now it was a pressing concern.
This was still a game, after all. Official intervention was inevitable, and they would all be in Creative Mode. For Xu Yuan, that was a potential threat.
He hadn't learned data manipulation yet. Even if he couldn't be deleted by the GM, he had no way of harming them.
For now, Xu Yuan decided to hold off on upgrading his avatar. It would be pointless against a GM in invincible mode. Those resources would be better spent unlocking mods.
With a plan in mind, Xu Yuan began controlling his avatar to test the waters.

Admin 303 was surprised to see HIM appear on his own.
But he wasn't intimidated. He was in Creative Mode, while HIM was nothing more than a peculiar piece of game data.
303 didn't want to waste time.
Though he was tempted to toy with HIM, Old Wu's constant nagging left him no choice.
'All I need to do is find the code and enter the /kill command,' 303 thought, opening his search tool.
Within moments, he located HIM's code.
But the string of characters he found made him pause.
[???￥?è±a01]
Aside from "01," the rest of the code was gibberish to him.
"A glitch? But why the '01'?"
As a programmer, 303 recognized the string as nonsense. But the "01" puzzled him.
"Forget it," he muttered.
Ignoring his doubts, he entered the command:
/kill ???￥?è±a01
The moment he hit Enter, HIM collapsed before him.
A system message appeared in the corner of the screen:
[You have killed ???￥?è±a01.]
"Wait… that's it?"
303 was stunned. The Dark Lord HIM, a legend with over 20GB of dedicated fan theories and stories, had fallen to a single command.
Nearby players were just as shocked.
"Holy crap! Instant kill?!"
"The GM just… obliterated HIM?!"
"What the—? I thought there'd be an epic battle! But he just got one-shot?"
"No way! I take back all those 'HIM is unbeatable' posts I made!"
For the players, HIM had become a godlike figure after his showdown with the Eternal Guild.
His strength and tactics were the stuff of nightmares.
Everyone had been bracing for a massive battle.
But HIM, the legendary Dark Lord, couldn't even last a second against the GM.
