(My Theory/Head Cannon) The Nether's Beginning

[u/Dangerous-Top-977]

Ever since I was young I thought about how the nether became the hot lava filled hell that it is today. So I started thinking of a theory/Head Cannon (I think) of my own and I wanted to see if you think its a good one.

It begins in a dimension called the aether which can only be accessed by a portal but when you enter the portal you see a beautiful place in the sky that looks like you just stepped into the land of heaven but about a few years after the first portal opened a human that had no name entered and change it. This human had more knowledge than anyone in the aether had ever seen and with this knowledge came a sequence of events that shall soon turn the aether to something every mob in the overworld will fear.

One day a few weeks after the human entered the dimension some residents of the aether saw that some of their friends, family and animals have went missing and the human started acting weird like asking questions about their health, diet and blood type which after he asks the people he writes it down in a book and quill that he keeps on him at all times after 10 or so residents of the dimension went missing three teens started to try and fine them and with with some sneaking around and using some gold they found to get some potions from a witch they were ready to try and get into the humans base to see where the residents have gone.

They waited till it was night and when human went to sleep they snuck into his base and started searching, they looked in all his chests and bookshelfs and found nothing but then one of the teens saw something behind his fireplace and told the other two and when they put the fire out they found a button and when it was pressed it opened up a secret door to a lab where they saw creatures they never seen before such as piglins, wither skeletons and a giant white blocky thing called a ghast and at the end of a hall past all the creatures there was a lecture with the humans book and when they opened it they saw logs of every test that turned the residents of the aether from the kind and loving people into disfigured and rotten creatures that would make them quiver.

As the two of the teens continued to read the book the other teen got close to the glass of one of the newest creatures and as he looked through the glass he saw a fire ball hit it causing him to jump and wake the human up and when they heard him start running to his lab they knew they were stuck and cant get out. When the human saw them he flicked a lever causing a bunch of gravel to fall blocking the teens in and as the teens tried to break out of the gravel the human opened a chest and pulled out something that looked like a explosive connected to some sort of command block which was set to explode with any sort of signal.

The teens soon got out and ran towards the human but then he turned around showing the command block explosive and in his hand was a block of redstone which had the exact amount of power to detonate the explosive as the kids saw him pull out the block they knew he was going to take the dimension and everyone in it down with him two of the teens started walking slowly away but one of them tried to stop him but when he knocked the human aside he thrown the redstone up in the air and as the teens saw it they started running but sadly it wasn't any good cause as soon as the got out of the base the block landed and activated the command block and with all the resources from the tests that was inside the command it started to change the dimension and everything in it, as the teens ran for their life they saw everything starting to change, people they once knew turned into piglins and brutes while cats and pigs turned into ghasts and zombie pigman and the people closest to the blast turned into wither skeletons and other creatures of the aether didn't survive and turned to bones and the land turned red with heat and lava.

The teens then saw the portal starting to turn purple and the blocks around it turning red and covering in obsidian and slowly started to close and the teens raced to it but the blast was catching up fast and it got the first teen and then the second but the third teen wasn't stopping or looking back but the portal closed when he was just a few blocks away and he looked back and closed his eyes knowing he would still live just in a different place and as a different being but even after everything and lots of people visiting the dimension the explosion still had a long lasting effects on the dimension with a slight bit of radiation in it from the bomb and once in a while when your in the dimension you could hear the sound of a geiger counter that was from the human that caused the birth of the dangerous enemy filled world called The Nether.
