Before you read, I did post this fiction in another forum, but cause no one replied in two days, i got too nervous and take it off that forum. Alot of people said it was good enough to entertain them a few minutes or two, and some (a ten years old girl) said it was boring. But nonetheless, I modify it and hope it will change people opinions. Please gave me some comments on what I should do or edit.
-This story should be similar to Dragon Quest, (and is influenced by all the manga and story i came to know)
-Baran (the name of a dragon commander in Dragon Quest- Dais Adventure, and the last name Armstrong came from FMA)
ENJOY! (hopefully
)

Next chapter "The battle in the Gym"
The norm just became not normal
Strangers appear one by one, what are their intention
And who is that freak appear at the end of chapter 1
Who know so read chapter 2 when it come out k.
The history
I started this fiction about 4yrs ago in 7th grade, it was an English Project (Made your own comic book). That was the first time I wrote the story of a boy (my age back then 13 yr. old) wanting to go to another world. I wrote the first six chapters for the project and draw the 1st chapter of "the Magic World" (later renamed as Sign of Dragons). This story was very much influenced by manga that I have read since I was younger (Doreamon, Dragon Ball, Yugio, One Piece, Yaiba, Dragon Quest, and many others longforgotten tittles). Over the course of 4 years, I didn't wrote much more but rather thinking ahead of how the story will going. I also revised the original 6 chapters into 2 chapters with heavily edits (since the original sound very childish, and lack of creativity (4yrs ago I don't know much english, only know english for about 6 years now)). I then continued to write the next 4 chapters, and my only reader was my chinese friend. I then lost motivation and didn't write any more. So the six chapters so far split into 2 parts: first 3 chapters are part 1 "Norm?", the other 3 chapter are part 2 "The Forest".
Anyway, I decided to continued writing future chapters but first I got to edit all 6 of the chapters I got so far (three are done). But then I am not sure how many more would I write, since if no one will read them then it pretty pointless to write.
The unique thing about this fiction is that I'm not finished with it so if any readers or non readers got any ideas for my fiction I could incorporate it into my story (and upcourse give the proper credits to whom ever the ideas belong to). So it kinda like a fan manga, made by fan, for fan.
Well right now in my next two parts of "Sign of Dragons", I am thinking of incorporate Gold Knight, Raine_Joybringer, White Silver, and Liqiud (all are Manga Helper members) into the story.
Maybe it can even be a manga someday X) , my hope is too high I know.
I hope you enjoyed reading the chapters that I got right now.

*Saccron, the Dark Clown- was an original character, however I kinda combined Buggy the Clown from One Piece and Joker from Batman plus those hyenas from the Lion King.


chapter 3- An Expected Arrival (unedit)
*Credits for C3
*Genkai- is obviously the name I stolen from the woman(Genkai) from YuYu Hakusho (but this Genkai is a man)
but the Genkai in my story is more like the guy from Avatar: The Last Airbender
*Poron- is the white boy, I was talking about in c3, he is a character from Dragon Quest- Emblem of Roto, so he belonged to the author Chiaki Kawamata and Junji Koyanagi and artist Kamui Fujiwara. Poron in my story is not the same as the one from DQ. But he was surely base of Poron from DQ.

Sign of Dragons
Chapter 1: Norm?
Time travel, a world of ninja, a place where there is no limit, endless sky and land, a world of sea, where men free to do whatever they want, undiscovered territories, dark pit of space, and dreams free to form.
So many places, so many worlds, only limited to ones imagination.
I, too, want to go to all those places; I, too, long for untold adventures.
Yes, longing desire only breeds pain when one realizes it is no more than just a mere dream.
By now, your impression of me must be nothing more than a dark and depressed kid, right? A kid who watches too much television and doesnt have an eye out for reality?
Youd be partly correct.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
De name, as all call me, is Zach- short for Zachary Vandel. But dont you think Zaku is a much cooler name? And if you do, I think so too.
You may consider me wise for thirteen years old, and many do. But I dont care bout it. They say they think I am a whiner- a good for nothing whiner. But who can blame them? They are not me, and cannot see the world as I see it.
Yup, my life is too normal and too dull. And obviously, I hate it. It didnt seem right, that everything is exactly as it is supposed to be days after days. What I want most, simply, is a life of adventures, full of hardships, and unknowns. And that is, my friend, my romantic dream.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday is my favorite day of the week after Sunday, Saturday, and all other days of the week. It means school again. That is one of lifes routines that I cannot avoid but have to make the best out of it.
Another normal morning- the garbage truck had done it again and woke me up at the right time without failing. And another normal breakfast with cereal and milk. Yeaaaah, I pretend and say I enjoy it, but my face tells a different story.
The bus comes, I get in, and yada yada yada, and all that good stuff Im not afraid to lose. First is period, math: the least boring subject in school. It turns out to be normal, not a surprise. Second period, reading: the teachers lip is constantly moving yet I cannot hear her. I was too busy in my own world thinking about fire; its one of those random things without a reason.
EEEEEE! EEEEEEEEEEEE! EEEEEEEEEEEE! Noises woke me up from my slumber; sounds like the fire alarm went off, but one couldnt be too sure. To my amazement, no one bothered to move. Then I realized it- nothing was moving, not even the slightest of sounds of breathing could be heard.
I began to panic. They, my classmates, were not moving. They were just like a paused movie.
This could not be happening! This is not normal! I was speechless, motionless, and to think was all I could do. Is this a dream? Or, is this a nightmare? Couldnt be!
But this is for real, my instinct told me so.
Could be a punishment to me from above? I had blamed them for my existence... I tried to find a possible explanation, but the more I thought, the more questions arrived.
But then a noise came to my rescue. I stood up and began to run like crazy toward the formless noise. Faster and faster, my heart beat. I ran and ran as though my life was at its end. At last, I reached my destination- the gym. No one was there, not a soul nor even a beast.
The room was full of empty space surrounded by four gigantic walls. Nothing is the best word to describe it. I was about to turn around disappointed when I heard a new sound somewhat different from the last two. A cracking, breaking, crumbling sound made its presence known throughout the room. I turned around just in time to see a scene that is not normal- a scene that is significant.
From out of nowhere, the very space in front of me, ten feet in diameter, altered. The space in the room was like a full blown balloon that, for a moment of mischief, looked like it was poked by someone. The air from the inside rushed out as the outside rushed in. A black hole began to take form. It changed to become more of a perfectly spherical shape every half a second. And there I was, staring at it without a blinking an eye. For me, this was a very magnificent thing in a while.
The hole stopped growing and thirty seconds later, noises began to echo the whole room, footsteps.
I regained my senses, and was quickly on my guard. I was ready to whatever was coming out of that hole. As the moment came, the sounds of footsteps became clearer and clearer.
Well! Well! Not a bad trip, dont you think Heck? commented a huge middle-aged man who dressed in what looked like an antique set of armor from the Middle Ages. The thing that very noticeable about him was his sharp looking eyes. His short black hair looked uncleaned for months and refused to lie down.
Not bad, replied (presumably) Heck who was still in the hole.
Heck finally showed up- he was not a human, for he didnt look like one. His long tail, ears, horns, neck and fangs were enough to show his un-humanlike shape. He looked like a dragon from a myth, kinda like half of a Western dragon poorly pasted on the other Eastern half of a dragon. His size was not enormous, just as tall as a grown mans thigh and as long, from head to tail, as the great lizard, the Komodo dragon.
They finally noticed me. They looked very casual and very much at ease for they must have known something that I did not.
So it appears that you are Zachary Vandel, are you not? asked the man.
What .. do you want? I asked in a rather weak voice.
My name is Baran Armstrong and Ive come to take you away, he replied.
Where?
To the place that you are supposed to be.
A place... Im supposed to be at ?
Happiness was in my voice. Finally! Someone is finally here to take me out of this world! It was too good to be real.
It is your destiny.
Out of nowhere...
Heh! He! ..Hoey! You are going nowhere. Nowhere! Nowhere... nowhere, I tell ya! Nowhere, for you shall remain here as DEAD! Dead... dead bodies. That is, that is, after all what master wanted.

Could this be a punishment for me from above? I have always blamed them for my existence, maybe they are pissed... I tried to find a possible explanation, but the more I thought, the more questions arrived.
But then a noise came to my rescue. I stood up and began to run, eyes closed, a cold sweat begining to form, This.. Running, is all I can do, run toward the formless noise. Faster and faster, my heart pulsing. I ran and ran as though my life was at its end. At last, I reached my destination -- the gym. No one was there, not a soul nor even a beast.
The room was full of empty space surrounded by four gigantic walls. Nothing is the best word to describe it. I was about to turn around, disappointed, when I heard a new sound somewhat different from the last two. A crackling, breaking, crumbling sound made it's presence known throughout the room. I turned around just in time to see a scene that is not normal -- a scene that is.. weird, that is.. significant.
From out of nowhere, the very space in front of me, ten feet in diameter, altered. The space in the room was like a full blown balloon that, for a moment of oddity, looked like it was poked by someone. The air from the inside rushed out as the outside rushed in. A small black hole began to take form. It changed to become more of a perfectly spherical shape every one split second intervals. And there I was, staring at it without blinking an eye. For me, this was a very magnificent thing.
The hole stopped growing, and thirty seconds later, noises began to echo throughout the whole room, footsteps.
I regained my senses, and was quickly on my guard. I was ready for whatever was coming out of that hole. As the moment came, the sounds of footsteps became clearer and clearer.
Well! Well! Not a bad trip, dont you think Heck? commented a huge middle-aged man who dressed in what looked like an antique set of armor from the Middle Ages. The thing that was most noticeable about him was his sharp-looking eyes. His short black hair looked as though it had not been cleaned for months and refused to lie down.
Not bad, replied (presumably) Heck who was still in the hole.
Heck finally showed up; he was not a human, and he didnt look like one. His long tail, ears, horns, neck and fangs were enough to show his un-humanlike shape. He looked like a dragon from a myth, kinda like half of a Western dragon poorly pasted on the other Eastern half of a dragon. His size was not enormous, just as tall as a grown mans thigh and as long, from head to tail, as the great lizard, the Komodo dragon.
They both noticed me a few moments later. Looking very casual and very much at ease for they must have known something that was unbeknownsted.
So it appears that you are Zachary Vandel, are you not? asked the man.
What ... do you want? I asked in a rather weak voice.
My name is Baran Armstrog, and Ive come to take you away to a place you are needed. he replied.
Where?
To a far land that requires your help.
A land... Wait.. My help ?!?
Happiness was in my voice. Finally! Someone is finally here to take me out of this world! It was too good to be real.
Out of the darkness came a crackling voice...
Ehehehehe! Eheheheheha ..Ehahaha....EEHAHAHAHAHA! You are going nowhere. Nowhere! Nowhere... nowhere, I tell ya! Nowhere, for you shall remain here as DEAD! Dead... dead bodies. That is, that is, after all what master wanted.
