Welcome to my first novel. Whether it's good or not, I'm not sure (Hopefully it's good. Fingers crossed xD)
WARNING. (everything written is fiction and does not apply to real life. If there is someone with the same name, then it is merely a coincidence, and nothing more)
Please feel free to correct any grammatical errors in the comments below, so I could hone my skills in writing.
Without further ado, Here's my prologue;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You shouldn't have made me wait, -------. I waited for a response from you for a long time. Seeing you in that pathetic state, hah, I find it amusing watching your downfall. If you were ---- to have - sec--- life, I --pe it's miserable. Good---, -------"
My consciousness slips away, as she strikes down the glistening dagger straight into my heart.
Haha.. I spent all my life trying to be the very best, like no one ever was.
Okay, no, I did try my best to be the best, but it all went downhill when THAT happened. The purge of chocolate.
Every single piece of sweet, sweet, chocolaty goodness was wiped out from the world.
Stock markets came crashing down, cars would crash into other cars, suspecting that they had chocolates, drugs? hah, they couldn't even contend with chocolate addicts. All of this happened within a month after the news was spread. Heck, even cannabis suddenly became legal to lower the riots forming from the citizens. Me? I would usually train my Palm strikes, Sword strikes, and finger jabs on a wooden pole to increase my accuracy, as well as effective damage on the target. Sadly, I am also one of those "chocolate addicts". I can't help it! I ate it all my life from when I was a child, to my adolescence years. The purge happened when I was 21 years old. At the time, I had a girl that I loved, Kari. Her long hair, that goes all the way to her hips shines with it lustrous black colour. She has clear green eyes, which were wide, and lips, that were red, with a hint of pink. We would spend most of our time together, even during when I was training but once the purge happened, I went off on a journey through mountains, and cities just to search for even a small amount of chocolates, but to no avail. I failed on my search, and to make things worst, I ended up becoming a wanted man.
Hm? You want to know why? We'll save that for later. I ended up injured with bruises and cuts all over my body, with a huge scar from my left clavicle, all the way down to my right kidney. I was bleeding profusely on the side of the streets, just to see her, Kari, again, holding a silver dagger. Who would have thought that I would have ended up dying by her. I guess the term keep your friends close, and your enemies closer was true after all, huh.
It was dark. Pure darkness enshrouded my very being. It was also cold, cold to the bone. Darkness and Coldness, what a scary combination.
"Haah, I guess I'm dead, huh. I never would have thought that I'd end up like this. When the heck is that reaper goin to ta--"

"--ld"
I was interrupted by a silent murmur.
"--ild..."
There it was again.
"Where are you, or, WHO are you? SHOW YOURSEL--"
"SHUT UP. HOW DARE YOU, AN INSOLENT CHILD, RAISE YOUR VOICE TOWARDS THE HEAVENLY BEING OF CHOCOLATES. Pure idiocy!"
I was interrupted with a punch towards my chin, by this old man.
Grey hair, with a Black, semi-gray beard, wearing a dark brown robe, with checkered patterns on the shoulders.
his eyes were Hazel brown, with a bridged nose. I couldn't see the mouth as it was covered by the beard.
"Heavenly being of chocolate..?"
"What? You don't know of me? I was the one who created cocoa trees, and passed down recipes down my generation to create chocolates. I am the one, the only, The heaven king of chocolates, Eclair."
"Pfft. King of chocolate? If that's true then I'd be yo--"
"HAZEL WHIP!"
I was beaten far away by a stream of dark brown liquid. Wait, that thing..
It's taking shape of a serpent, with crimson red eyes, and brown checkered scales.
"W-wh-what is THAT?!?"
"This is my familiar, Cad the second."
"Second?"
"Yes, It is the child of Cad the first, and Bury, the Divine dragon"
I was dumbstruck by this statement. A Chocolate serpent, with a dragon?
"So you're saying, it's a hybrid of serpent, and dragon?"
"It's mostly dragon, as dragons have the dominant trait. Wait, why the hell am I explaining this to you?"
"Uhh.. because I asked the question?"
"Just shut up. I feel ashamed for answering your questions. Are you not curious to as why you're here?"
".... Isn't this the under--"
I was slapped by Cad's tail
"No, it is not the Underworld"
"He--"
Another slap by Cad
"No, not hell"
My face brightened as I heard this.
"---"
Yet again, another slap
"No, it's not heaven. They don't even want you in it. Heard your soul was too tainted til they'd vomit at every sight of you"
"......so where am I?"
Eclair replied with a demonic grin
"The astral space, Ecuador. You will be stuck here for all eternity. Reason? Heaven hates you, and Hell doesn't even want you near them"
"... The f***? Then why are YOU here?"
"Me? because I got bored in both realms."
He let out a sigh as if he were reminiscing of the past
"haah. I guess I'd be spending eternity here with you, huh?"
"Not exactly."
"What do you mean?"
He replied with a wide grin "What would you say if I said I could give you a second chance of life?"
