one night i was not feeling sleepy. i open my phone and go inside @Pixels . everything was quiet. no many players online. just me and my farm.
i walk slowly. my crops was ready but i dont harvest them. i just feel like exploring today.
so i go far. more far than before. forest was dark and little scary. i almost go back but something inside say go more.
after some time i see a small shining spot near tree. i go close. it was like glowing thing. i click it.
suddenly i get a map.
i dont know where it come from. there was no player near me. just silence.
map look old. like very old paper. it show some marks and cross sign. i feel excited. like i am in adventure story.
next day i open again and follow that map. it was not easy. many turns and wrong paths. i get lost many times. i even think this is fake.
but i dont stop.
after long time i reach a place. it was small cave. i feel little fear. what if something inside haha.
i go slowly.
inside cave it was dark. but then i see a box. small treasure box. i go near and open it.
i was thinking maybe big reward. maybe lots of $PIXEL coins.
but inside was just few items. nothing very special.
i feel little sad. like all this for nothing.
i sit there for some time. thinking i waste my time.
then i see message pop up. it say something like you found hidden place few people reach here.
i dont know why but i smile.
because i understand something.
treasure was not the box.
treasure was journey.
all that walking, getting lost, feeling scared, feeling excited. that was real reward.
after that i go back to my farm. it feel different now. more special.
i tell my friends about cave. some believe some not.
but i know what i feel.
now sometimes i dont chase rewards. i just play. explore. enjoy small things.
because in Pixels not everything is about coins.
some things you feel.
and that feeling is rare.
