Chapter 2. (Chapter 10)

The mysterious bird Mo Fang said “I will teach you, on one condition!”

“What is the condition, Master Fang?” I asked, curious.

“You must survive my first and only test, drink from this chalice” Mo Fang said, as he handed a chalice full of black water to me.

“What… is this?” I asked, disgusted.

“It’s a special type of water, that allows you to learn the way of the Death Talon, now… will you learn? Just know, that you will no longer be human” Mo Fang warned.

“I will learn” I said, as I drank the “water”.

‘Oh god! This tastes disgusting! I feel like vomiting my insides! Kill me!!!’ My mind was racing as I chugged the remains of the “water”.

“Good, you’re still alive… now, spread your wings!” Mo Fang said.

“My… wings? AAAAAAH!!!” I asked, as I felt a tearing sensation in my back, causing me to cry out in pain.

“Don’t try to fight it! It’ll only lead to misfortune in the long run! Accept the pain! Harness it!” Mo Fang encouraged me.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!” I shouted, as four wings of different colours sprouted from my back, one brown, one grey, one red and one blue. Representing the four primal elements.

“Well, this is surprising, you’re a quad! This great! You can easily use the primal elements! Training will be much easier!” Mo Fang said, as he morphed into a bird-like man and helped me up.

“Thank you… Master…” I said, as I lost consciousness.

“And publish! Finally, I’ve finished chapter 10!” I said, happily.

“Michael! We’re going! Are you ready?” My dad asked me, we were going to the public pool.

“Yeah, give me a minute! I just have to do something!” I said, as I logged out of my LLR account, turned my laptop off and left my room, locking the door.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

“Good! Now, let’s go! Lucy and Luke are waiting in the car!” Dad said happily.

“Right! Let’s go!” I replied, cheerfully.

After an hour long car ride, we finally made it to the pool, and it was obviously populated by a lot of people, since it’s the middle of summer.

“Lucy! Let’s go swimming!” Luke said cheerfully, as he grabbed Lucy by the arm.

“Okay!” Lucy said happily, following Luke wholeheartedly.

“Mike, can you watch those two, I don’t want them getting in trouble, okay?” Dad asked.

“Alright, hey brats! Wait up!” I shouted, running after them.

“Oh no! The monster’s chasing us!” Luke shouted, playfully.

“Run away!” Lucy shouted, happily.

“Roar! I’m the big scary monster!” I roared.

We ended up playing “Run from the monster” in the pool, until we had to go home.

“Mike! That was so fun!” Lucy said, giving me a hug before running inside to find Luke.

“Man… those two are inseparable” I said, smiling.

“Well, they are twins” Dad said, happily.

“Now! Help me get this stuff out of the trunk!” Dad said, taking some souvenirs out of the trunk of the car.

“Man… I didn’t think we bought this much!” I said, in awe.

“You never know how much you bought until you have to put it away…” Dad said, grabbing the largest thing in the trunk: A large water gun, while I grabbed the small water balloons and we worked our way from there.

“Good, that’s done… now, I’m going to my room! Shout to me when it’s dinner!” I said, running upstairs.

“Alright!” Dad shouted happily, as he was already flipping burgers.

I unlocked my door and went onto my laptop, logging in and looked at the comments.

‘It’s gotten far better in the two weeks you’ve been writing it! Good job! 4/5’ -DanLovesAll69

‘Better than most… not as good as others! 3.5/5’ -KamiMaster290

‘A somewhat unique story, good grammar and a somewhat likeable MC! 4/5’ -Hamster666

These were the good comments, I was happy… until I saw the hate comments.

‘Pure trash! 0.5/5!’ -Troller2920

‘0.5/5’ -???

‘0.5/5’ -???

I saw the hate comments and replied to them saying:

‘Why don’t you guys like my story? At least give me some criticism!’ -Rousuke

I only got one reply.

‘Tongue [https://forum.royalroadl.com/images/smilies/tongue.png]’ -Troller2920

So, I got angry, but instead of embarrassing myself on the internet like the first time, I just punched my new punching bag.

“Fucking! Son! Of! A! Bitch! You! Think! You! Can! Criticise! My! Fucking! Book! Without! Even! Giving! A! Fucking! Reason! Fuck! Your! Mothers! You! Sons! Of! Bitches!” I said in between punches, until my hand hurt.

“Dinner’s ready!” I heard my dad shout.

“Coming! Give me a minute!” I shouted, logging out of LLR and turning my laptop off and running down the stairs for dinner.

It was burgers tonight, with some sausages on the side.

“Dad! These are delicious!” I complimented the chef, my dad.

“Thanks Mike, but that’s not getting you seconds!” Dad said, cheerfully.

“My word! Why would I, the great majestic Michael Oswalde ever request for seconds? Do you doubt my restraint! Frankly, I’m offended!” I said, sarcastically.

“Hahaha!” We laughed as we ate.

I finished dinner in a hurry and ran back to my room, ready to write chapter 11 and make it better than before.

‘I’ll show those cunts! I’ll make the best chapter I can! And they’ll have no choice other than giving me at least a decent score!’ I thought, as I began the writing process.
