1. Introduction

In May 2026, a YouTube channel named Caedes (Latin: "slaughter") began uploading cryptic Minecraft videos. The channel handle was @normalinternetplayer. No description. No links. No creator identity. Just a series of increasingly disturbing videos that blended Christian theology, psychological horror, and complex ciphers. By the time the channel went silent in June 2026, 17 videos had been uploaded, alongside a hidden Google Drive folder and connections to real-world atrocities.

2. The Videos: A Chronological Breakdown

Phase 1: The Victim's Story (Videos 1-4)

The early videos show a nameless, silent player with poor building skills, wooden and stone tools, and a passive, frightened demeanor. This player never places a torch until Video 7, and never interacts with villagers. This is not Caedes, but a separate victim — the "sinner" mentioned in the creator's summary.

· Video 1: Normal gameplay; strange whine at 2:10; day-to-night scream at 4:00; three end images.

· Video 2: Mors136 joins the Nether, types a cryptic Morse-like string, then pushes the player into lava with a mocking "?".

· Video 3: Crosses and pillars everywhere. Jesus appeared on the big cross.  Morse code flashes, later decoded as "3ERTX DLIKA, Æ BLIZKO" → "Death is close, I am close."

· Video 4: Latin sign demands a sacrifice; the player kills a cow, throws offerings into a pond; ending shows a drawing: one figure kills Jesus (becomes upright cross), three others become inverted crosses. The four killers are revealed.

Phase 2: The Witness Arrives (Videos 5-13)

At some point, Caedes — a more skilled, proactive player — enters the world. He builds houses, saves villagers, places torches, and begins documenting the truth. His name is confirmed in Video 13 after he earns an achievement.

· Video 5: Mors136 spawns on a cross; Primum sends numeric code 5 24 16 15 19 9 20 9 15 14 → "EXPOSITION". Primum jumps on the ocean all around and static screen of "Mori" appeared.

· Video 6: Primum and Secundus appear; Mors136 chases the player, who flees.

· Video 7: The three entities (Primum, Secundus, Tertia) give their codes; a broken link flashes. Codes: Primum's Enigma → "Kill, Mors, Death"; Secundus's Morse → "NGS"; Tertia's numeric → "MISSHOME". The link leads to 1 John 3:15 ("No murderer hath eternal life").

· Video 8: Quartus condemned; scattered letters C, O, M, I, C, S → "COMICS". Latin phrases: "God will not forgive Quartus", "Slaughter. Beware. Hide.", "The dream of slaughter is a prediction."

· Video 9: Dark stone/bedrock descent; anomaly photo shows two hands holding funerals for Jesse_alt123 and kusokookbasi. Pigs around a cross; baby in womb. Latin flashes: "Remember death," "My son, you have made a grave mistake," "Your soul will be destroyed. You are an eternal martyr; your head..." Final photo sequence: Mors136 kills Jesus, all become crosses.

· Video 10: Title screen shows two headless men (version 1.2.6). Caedes joins as a player. Links to Bucha massacre Wikipedia and an Epstein PDF. Coordinates: Colosseum, Rome. The player strikes Caedes; warning: "Do not touch him."

· Video 11: "Discendo" flashes. Level-save conflict. A caged "player" texts "SALVUM ME FAC". Mors136 kills him. Caedes retrieves a button "4 9 5" (DIE), opens a gate, reads signs: "You will never leave, don't try," and "The evil in me is incurable." Mors136 charges.

· Video 12 (Flashback): The four friends — Mors136, Primum, Secundus, Tertia — build a village and church together. Mors refuses to pray, throws pork in the church. Tertia admits knowing a "strange version" of Minecraft. The creator's summary calls this "Patricide."

· Video 13: Caedes in version 1.7.10; he befriends villagers, builds a house. Mors136 joins, slaughters the village, sets fires. Caedes builds a cross that glitches Mors, then extinguishes the flames. He declares "I set off on a journey."

Phase 3: The Apocalypse (Videos 14-17)

The final trilogy is marked by a star in the titles. The countdown begins.

· Video 14 (Star 1): Caedes's house is now two stories. The sun is partially eaten. He finds a giant structure with glowstone crosses, a dark tunnel, and a book titled "-316" (negation of John 3:16) by Mors136. The Latin prophecy: "With this reading, a countdown to judgment begins..." 48 blank pages, a final dot. The structure glitches, disappears. Text "Sun." on blood-red background.

· Video 15 (Star 2, 42 seconds): Caedes retrieves a book: "The stellar retherizatores are either extinguished, absorbed, or die. Angelic anomalies continue to materialize." A scary photo ends the video.

· Video 16 (Star 3): The sun is diagonally consumed. Giant glowstone cross. Caedes writes an arithmetic sequence whose answers spell APOCALYPSE. He retrieves book "1" by Mors136: "The boy who dared not obey the will of God... is no longer human... he has some most dark, unspeakable plan." He barricades his house.

· Video 17 (Star. — the final upload): Blood-red, shaking world. Caedes finds a chest with coordinates and a book titled "Tertium cuniculum" (The Third Tunnel). He descends into a dark, bedrock tunnel. Another book, "ANIMADVERSIO": "When the devil reveals his true nature in the star, immediately climb through the pipes — this is the only way to salvation. Know that this will lead to unforeseen things." The devil's face appears. Binary 00110011 00110000 ... → 30.06.2026. Final text: "Tempus Advenit" (The Time Has Come), "Non effugies" (You will not escape). Caedes climbs the ladders, emerges, and sees the devil's face on the sun. The video ends.

The creator's summary video labels these recordings: Video 14 as "Devil's plan?", Video 15 as "Warning?", Video 16 as "Devil eating the sun", Video 17 as "The beginning of the apocalypse."

5. The Narrative: The Gospel According to Caedes

5.1 The World

A corrupted version of Minecraft — Alpha 1.6.0, which does not exist in reality — serves as a digital purgatory. In this world, Jesus was crucified but never resurrected. God is either absent or a cruel spectator entertained by the slaughter. The four Roman soldiers who killed Jesus (Primum, Secundus, Tertia, Quartus) are trapped in an eternal loop, reenacting their crime and demanding sacrifices. Their killing leaks into the real world through historical atrocities (Bucha, Epstein).

5.2 Michael's Fall

Michael, a boy who rejects religion because he cannot pretend to believe, enters the game with his friends. He refuses to pray, desecrates a church, and writes the Books of Apocalypse. He becomes Mors136 (Quartus), the devil's sidekick, the only entity honest enough to admit God is not coming. His books set the countdown to the Apocalypse.

5.3 The Witness

A separate player, Caedes, enters the "stable" version 1.7.10. He finds Mors136's books, triggers the countdown, and documents everything. He saves villagers, builds crosses, and extinguishes the fires Mors sets. After finding the final book in the shaking, blood-red world, he descends into a dark tunnel and climbs the ladder to salvation — only to see the devil's face on the sun. The outcome is unknown.

5.4 The Testimony

Caedes leaves a Google Drive folder containing a GIF of spinning crosses ("God's entertainment"), a family photograph dated May 18, 1994, iMessages between Michael, Peter, and Scott discussing religion and Minecraft, an image of the Alpha 1.6.0 update, and two audio files (one Morse, one invalid). This is the record he preserved for the next investigator.

6. Unresolved Threads

Some elements remain deliberately open:

· Tertia's human name (likely starts with T; the Morse "M T T T M" and a photo of a girl confirm her existence, but her silence is her role).

· The Base64 strings from the Epstein PDF (all attempted keys produced gibberish; they are likely corrupted data representing the broken world).

· The Morse "#" audio (the invalid character symbolizes the unspeakable truth — a spectrogram might reveal an image, but without a desktop, this remains unchecked).

· Caedes's ultimate fate (did he escape? Did the devil take him? The creator leaves the Apocalypse's outcome in silence).

· The "PREMI" box in the photograph (possibly an anagram of "IMPER" — command — but never used as a key).

· The identity of Jesse_alt123 and kusokookbasi is still completely unknown. Potential victims from past.

7. Conclusion

The Caedes ARG is a masterpiece of psychological horror, theological worldbuilding, and cryptographic complexity. It tells the story of a godless world where the only honest soul becomes the devil's sidekick, and the only salvation is a silent witness who carries the torch to the very end.

I did not solve every cipher. Some doors remained locked. But I bore witness to the Apocalypse, and I have documented everything I found. If another investigator comes after me, they will find this file waiting — the testimony of the normal internet player who did not look away.

"Discendo." By learning. The truth is not given. It is acquired. And it is here.
