As Gold was practicing he realized he had a breakthrough. "I finally finished the last level of the 10 Levels of a Beginner Swordsman!" Gold was ecstatic and celebrated his increase of strength. After celebrating he heard the words "Gold!! You better get your ass over here now!!"

Gold looked over a saw his adoptive mother staring at him with a death piercing gaze.

"Yes mother ." Gold said as running to her as fast as he could so he would not get a beating.

"Ok mother I will go start planning her birthday and go back to practicing." He then ran off to go plan Snow's party.

Athena sighed and shook her head " All this boy does is train. But at least he will pick up a habit of training no matter the condition."

***

Monday night 9 pm in a room that was decorated very badly. The room had random decorations hanging up with the words "Happy 16th Birthday Snow". On the walls there were rubber ducks and cucumbers. Sticks were hung by string from the ceiling. The tables were covered with a table wrap that had cockroaches on it as a design.

"I'm finally done setting up. All I got to do is wait for tomorrow"

Gold walked up to Athena and said he was done.

"Mother I'm finished decorating and planning Snow's birthday. Now I'm going to go practice."

"Ok goodnight"

As Gold was leaving Athena thought to herself "Wait isn't Gold really bad at decorating."

She ran to the decorated room cursing and praying that the room wasn't to bad. As she opened the door her mouth dropped.

"Weeeeelllllll Sh*t."

This is my first novel, so don't judge me.

I am writing this novel in my spare time so there will be few chapters. My word count may not be high, but I will try my best to make them have a decent amount of words.

Also please go ahead and give me some pointers or advice if you want to. They would be very appreciated :).
