Prelude: First time writing out an actual story in at least a year and a half. I'm a bit rusty still, but I got bored and decided to type something up. It'll be an ongoing story that I'll update when I feel like it, but I thought that I'd be more motivated if there were other people interested in it or who would give me criticism on how to improve my writing since I still feel really lacking in regards to telling compelling stories. I do have a general framework of where I want to take the story and I do have an ending already planned for the future. I'm not intending for it to be the most serious story at all times, so if there are parts that feel cheesy, cliche, overly simplified or "overly anime", that's all a part of the tone I'm going for. If there are any criticisms around that, I'd rather there be criticism on how to make it even more cliche and cheesy than it already is! In a good way, though. I still want to tell an entertaining story and if I'm lucky, get some regular readers who enjoy my stories; even if that ends up being like ten people, that'd be fine with me. Anyway, that being said, I'll paste chapter 1 in the second post!
