1 Chapter I

"Help! A thief!" yelled by the tendor.

A man wearing a dark coat was running from the tendor and the guards. He was swift when it comes to stealing. He managed to escape the claws of justice each time he stole something from someone.

His name was Clyde. At a young age Clyde was abandoned by his father whom was cheating on his wife. His mother could not handle the embarrassment and depression that she decided to withdrew her own life.

Nothing but sorrow and anger was embedded in Clyde's heart. As he grew older he began the art of thievery. His thieving skills were absurd. His targets was ignorant that they were being stolen. Maybe it's because of Clyde's charm and charisma that he looked innocent and have no intention of doing something bad.

He then eventually saw his own father with his new family. The woman his father was with was rich. Clyde understand tha reason his father left them, it was fortune.

Within that day Clyde had stained his soul and hand with blood. He infiltrated the home the woman, fueled with sorrow and anger he killed his father. The woman suffered the same fate of his husband, which is death.

Clyde was surprised as he see a little girl walking inside the door and saying "Mama?" Clyde leaped through the window and left the girl the same fate as he had. Having nothing but sorrow and regret.

Clyde was casually walking in the streets, not wearing his dark coat. He heard a commotion "Thief! Arrest that little boy, with his stupid monkey friend!" The guards yelled

Clyde saw a little boy and a monkey on his shoulder running away from the guards. Clyde could not help but that boy reminded him of himself back in the days of his youth.

Clyde help the little boy escape the guards. He made his own commotion by stealing jewelry from a lady.

"The dark coat! Get away from me! Help!" The lady yelled.

Clyde knew by the moment the guards heard his infamous nickname they will change targets. The guards tried capturing him, but failed. Clyde was just too good for them.

Clyde then found the little boy.

"Yo." Clyde waved his left hand.

"Stay away! I know karate, you ain't gonna like it!" The boy shouted and poses.

Clyde burst out of laughter "You look dumb in that post!" The boy got pissed "What the hell did you say? Dexter attack!" The monkey on his shoulder jumped and bite Clyde's index finger that is pointing at the boy.

"Alright! I'm sorry get this filthy creature off my finger." Clyde said.

"Why should I?" The boy said.

"Howabout the idea of me saving your back out there, will that change your mind?" Clyde said.

"No way? You're the black coat?" The boy eas starstruck. The black coat was someone he was looking up to. "Alright. Dexter stop." Dexter stopped and jump back on the boy's shoulder.

"Anyway. What is your name little boy?" Clyde asked.

"My name is a Claude. I'll be the most handsone thief in the whole land of dawn." Claude boast.

"Really, now? Back there you're almost caught and possibly spend weeks or months behind bars." Clyde said as he smirks.

"Oh, shut up! I was just not feeling it you know?" Claude said.

"Okay. I'll be leaving now. You should stop stealing, it's bad. And go back to your parents. They must be worried sick." Clyde said and slowly walks away.

"But I don't have any parents." By the moment Claude said that Clyde stops walking.

"What? How is that possible? How are you born then?" Clyde made a joke.

"I know that. It's just, maybe they didn't want me. I was raised by a family that I hate. They only took me in their family to be something in use for them. That's when I decided to leave them. Then I heard about you. The infamous Dark coat. I wanted to meet you and I want you to teach me your secret of thievery, please." Cloude pleaded.

Clyde now knows why he see himself from the boy. The boy was also suffering and alone in this harsh world.

"Alright. I'll teach you the thing I call "the art of thievery"." Clyde said.

Years had passed and Claude was a grown up. Claude was admired by girls in the land of dawn and his name exploded at the same time. Clyde was so proud of Claude being able to smile once again.

Clyde heard about a laboratory managed by Dr. Rooney. There were rumors about a special item in there. Clyde was interested about the rumored item.

Clyde didn't tell about Claude about his leave.

Clyde arrived at the lab and saw a cube placed in a table. "Is this it?" Clyde reached out for the cube. By the moment his fingers touched the cube, Clyde was sucked inside the cube.

Clyde then passed out after that. By the time he gain consciousness. Clyde notice the cube gone. He then felt something heavy in his chest. He looked and it was the cube. He tried to take it off but it only hurted him.

Clyde felt different after that. Clyde then went back to Claude whom was searching for him.

"Where did you go, Clyde?" Claude asked.

Clyde was about to answer but somethibf spoke inside his head "You are jealous of this boy were you?" Clyde then shouted "Shut up!" Claude stopped talking. "Get out of my head" Clyde shouted. Claude then come closer to Clyde "Bro? What's wrong?" Clyde then burst into lights. "Finally! I'm free. Thanks to this vessel." Clyde said.

"Clyde what the heck is wrong with you!" Claude shouted. Clyde looked at Claude Clyde? You mean this loser here? His dead you know?" Clyde then burts out of laughter.

"That is not true!" Claude charges Clyde. But he disappeared in thib air. Claude then noticed that Clyde was beheind him. By the moment he turned around Clyde sliced Claude's right eye. Fortunately the cut was not deep. Clyde was able to control his body for a short period of time. "Claude! Stay away from me. I'm sorry. I was jealous in you. You were able to smile genuinely while I can't. I'm sorry for all of this." Clyde said while tears running down his cheeks. "What are you talking about! I was able to smile again because of you! Even for a short period of time I have a family!" Claude shouted while also crying.

After hearing Claude's words Clyde tilted his lips to a smile. "Thank you, Claude" After that Clyde disappeared again in thin air. But this time he was unseen. Dexter then woke up. "Hey buddy. We need to save our big bro from something that's causing him misery." Claude said.

Claude then heard about the laboratory of Dr. Rooney. He also decided to went there. Claude then decided to look for Clyde with the art of thievery with and Dexter by his side.

I also made Clyde's skills and stuffs. I wantee him to be a hero in MLBB. I hope Clyde can be a hero.
