When abishek “died” in Season 1’s lore, he left a written book behind. prop told the story in the server announcements: after all those builds and farms, abi died “nobody knows how… (probably died of boredom and loneliness)”, prop found the will, and following its instructions he built a monument and held a funeral. 1 (See The Death of abishekishere, Death monument and Abi's Funeral.)
The death caused enormous drama. His belongings, farms and netherite were redistributed, and rj008 built a roller coaster “in memory of abi” (Abi's roller coaster and farms). 2 For weeks afterwards, newcomers asking where abi had gone got the same answer from prop: “he ded remember?” 3 When kira started reading the will in-game, he noted that a thunderstorm had rolled over the server. 4
The auction that ran away
For the funeral video, prop asked Levi to fake an auction of the will, playing the auctioneer. Levi instead ran off with the book, demanding diamonds for the will, or for killing prop. prop was quick to point out that he “didnt ask [him] to fucking run away with the will”, but was satisfied anyway, since it “lead to a different bit later in the video”. 5 6 7 (The video itself is The funeral video premieres.)
The hidden messages
The will had one more trick. prop’s later announcement says that after the funeral he found secret messages hidden in the book, and as he researched them, players began to disappear and act strangely. 8 That thread continues in The Mystery of abishek's Death and The Secret Project of abishek's Will.
