I just want an honest opinion I admit that I am not good this is my first time putting some effort into this.
And if it's bad, does it look passable in your opinion?


Black, All I see is black and emptiness, but not so long as I got to see my hands and the other rest of my body. Saying that I was confused and scared is an understatement, then suddenly in this darkness a Stage Lighting shone on particular spot, when I got close and looked closely I saw a beautiful Longsword whose Hilt and Crossguard are crystal black, and the blade which had a beautiful shining silver colour. For others it might be a plain looking sword but for me I feel like it's special and etherial. But besides the sword I saw a black human like figure that was standing next to it.

It was for the first time in my life that I saw someone that looked like a shadow with no face. Then it faced my direction and it opened it's mouth to show it's white teeth with a very wide grin on it's face.

And that was the last thing I saw in that dream.
................................................................................
*Year:2030*

"Arthur, get up!" Said the mother calling her son.

Hearing my Mother's call I groggily woke up from bed and wiped my eyes from laziness "Alright Mom, I am going down," I went to the bathroom, washed my hands and looked at the mirror, I am a 17-year-old boy with blonde hair and brown honey eyes Like my mother, I go to school and practice Swordsmanship in my free time, I also like playing video games and watching Anime.

While I was wasting my time examining myself I heard my Mother sound again but she sounded very angry, so I stopped wasting time and washed my face then I went to the waredrobe to change my clothes and chose to wear a red T-shirt and a Navy Blue Cargo Jeans, then I carefully walked down the stairs and greeted my Mother.

"Finally you got here I thought that I might had to resort to using my Swordsmanship on you" Said my Mother with a small yet terrifying grin.

"Please no I don't want to be put on the verge of my life again," I said pleadingly.

"I am just joking dear but no worries it won't happen again," only if you are doing something bad she quietly muttered to her self.

Because we are a part of a an ancient family called "Astrabisons" a family that orginated from the west, we are known for our ability in Swordsmanship. Although no one uses Swordsmanship these days since there are more modern and powerful weapons, it's more used for Sportsmanship or Self-defense but then again, who weilds a sword in public for Self-defense anyways?


I was stopped from thinking anymore about the subject when my Mother brought Breakfast. So I thanked my mother and started digging in the food.

"So how is your school?" my Mother said, while eating some fried eggs with her fork. "Pretty good I guess," I replied while also eating a tasty waffle.

"I am trying to practice Swordsmanship more so I can get better than you," then I drank my orange juice and finished my tasty Breakfast very fast so I can go to the sink to wash my hands. "I also wish to become a Master at Swordsmanship like our ancestor Cipher," I said with enthusiasm.

"That's a big goal and a hard one too ,but I won't mind aslong as you care about yourself and be a good man like your Father," said my Mom with a sad voice while washing the dishes.

My Mother's name is Sara Astra and she has been sad since my Father's death whose name is Haru Astra, I remember that I was 7-year-old kid at that time. My Mother says that he was a kind person that cared about everyone, but sadly he died from illness. Since then me and my Mother lived alone so my mother had to move to an another city to find a new job, so we had moved to a place called Sakura City where she found a new job that paid very well, so she can keep us happy,healthy and entertained.

"Don't worry mom I will become a good guy and help the weak," I went and kissed my mother's cheeks then went upstairs, "thanks for the food mom I love you," then I continued my way to my room.

Few seconds have passed while she looked at her son's back going to his room. She smiled and started organising the cleaned dishes, then she muttered "Our Son has grown alot since you left Dear," with a happy smile on her face.

I'm not the best when it comes to grammar, but I'm confident enough at least to say that there's a lot of missing and/or misused punctuation.

This, for instance:
Hearing my Mother's call I groggily woke up from bed and wiped my eyes from laziness "Alright Mom, I am going down," I went to the bathroom, washed my hands and looked at the mirror, I am a 17-year-old boy with blonde hair and brown honey eyes Like my mother, I go to school and practice Swordsmanship in my free time, I also like playing video games and watching Anime.

My edit:
Hearing my Mother's call, I groggily woke up from bed and wiped my eyes from laziness.

"Alright Mom, I'm going down."

I went to the bathroom, washed my hands and looked at the mirror. I am a 17-year-old boy with blonde hair and brown honey eyes like my mother. I go to school and practice Swordsmanship in my free time, and I also like playing video games and watching Anime.

...And this is just fixing the punctuations. I won't mention how the sentences should be structured since it can be based off of personal preferences.

Alright this is
Also is this a Synopsis or a Chapter?
An unfinished chapter.

Here, I fixed some stuff and some grammar errors. Sorry for troubling you.


Black, All I see is black and emptiness, but not so long as I got to see my

hands and the other rest of my body. Saying that I was confused and scared is an

understatement, then suddenly in this darkness, a Stage Lighting shone on

particular spot, when I got close and looked closely I saw a beautiful Longsword

whose Hilt and Crossguard are crystal black, and the blade which had a beautiful

shining silver colour. For others it might be a plain looking sword, but for me

I feel like it's special, and etherial. But besides the sword I saw a black

human like figure that was standing right next to it.

It was for the first time in my life that I saw someone that looked like a

shadow with no face. Then after a short amount of time, it faced my direction

and it opened it's mouth to show it's white inhuman like teeth with a very wide

grin on it's face.

The grammar seems okay to me but the structure is not. Some readers might find it hard to understand what you're trying to describe.

\\Black, All I see is black and emptiness, but not so long as I got to see my hands and the other rest of my body.\\
--All I could see was darkness as I was looking around me, finding nothing else but an infinite empty void. But that didn't last long as I could finally see my hands together with the rest of my body.--


In the first part alone, I already had to read your sentence twice to understand what you were trying to say. It's not bad, but it can be better.


\\Saying that I was confused and scared is an understatement, then suddenly in this darkness a Stage Lighting shone on particular spot, when I got close and looked closely I saw a beautiful Longsword whose Hilt and Crossguard are crystal black, and the blade which had a beautiful shining silver colour.
But besides the sword I saw a black human like figure that was standing next to it.\\
--As I knew that being confused and scared right now was an understatement, I tried figuring out what had happened to me.
But it didn't take long before a stage lighting shone within the darkness of this abyss, making light in a particukar spot.
When I tried getting closer, I noticed a beautiful longsword with crystal black hilt and crossguard. The blade which had a beautiful shining silver figure was also standing next to it.--

In this part alone I also had more trouble understanding it. I could see that you were trying to give an interesting way of describing stuff, but there are many errors that could have a better version.
You should also try to learn when to start a new sentence in a new row.

\\For others it might be a plain looking sword but for me I feel like it's special and etherial.\\
--While to others that sword might look plain, to me it felt like it had something special that attracted me.
Something special and ethereal… --

This was the only grammar mistake I found. (etherial-> ethereal) or if you actually wanted to write etherial in the Etymology, then that's also fine.


I gave you my version of your description of what I think would sound better, (Not the best one since I'm not the best writer) but I think that the way you are writing is passable.
I did't try to read the rest since I don't have much time right now, but I think that this story is interesting to read.

Just an honest opinion. <3
Good luck!

You need to improve your grammar and have more breaks in your paragraphs.

Besides that it is decent.

"Black. All I see is black and emptiness. But soon, I can see my hands and the rest of my body."
Alright this is

An unfinished chapter.

"Arthur, get up!" Said the mother, calling her son.

Hearing my Mother's call, I groggily woke up from my bed, and wiped my eyes from

laziness, "Alright Mom, I am going down," I went to the bathroom to wash my

hands, then I looked at the mirror.

I am a 17-year-old boy called Arthur, a Teenager with blonde hair, and brown

honey eyes Like my mother, I go to school, and practice Swordsmanship in my free

While I was wasting my time examining myself, I heard my Mother sound again, but

I chose to wear a red T-shirt, and a Navy Blue Cargo Jeans, then I carefully

walked down the stairs, and greeted my Mother.

"Finally you got here, I thought that I might had to resort to using my

Swordsmanship on you" Said my Mother with a small yet terrifying grin.

"Please no, I don't want to be put on the verge of my life again," I said

pleadingly.

"I am just joking dear, but no worries it won't happen again," only if you are

doing something bad, she quietly muttered to her self.

said with enthusiasm.

"That's a big goal, and a hard one at that too ,but I won't mind aslong as you

Hearing my Mother's call, I groggily woke up from my bed, and wiped my eyes from

laziness, "Alright Mom, I am going down," I went to the bathroom to wash my

hands, then I looked at the mirror.

I am a 17-year-old boy called Arthur, a Teenager with blonde hair, and brown

honey eyes Like my mother, I go to school, and practice Swordsmanship in my free

time, I also like playing video games, and watching Anime.

While I was wasting my time examining myself, I heard my Mother sound again, but

she sounded very angry, so I stopped wasting time, and washed my face, then I

dried myself with a towel, and hastily went to the waredrobe to change my

clothes.

I chose to wear a red T-shirt, and a Navy Blue Cargo Jeans, then I carefully

walked down the stairs, and greeted my Mother.

"Finally you got here, I thought that I might had to resort to using my

Swordsmanship on you" Said my Mother with a small yet terrifying grin.

"Please no, I don't want to be put on the verge of my life again," I said

pleadingly.

"I am just joking dear, but no worries it won't happen again," only if you are

doing something bad, she quietly muttered to her self.

Because we are a part of a an ancient family called "Astrabisons" a family that

orginated from the west, we are known for our ability in Swordsmanship.

Although, no one uses Swordsmanship these days, since there are more modern and

powerful weapons, it's more used for Sportsmanship or Self-defense but then

again, who weilds a sword in public for Self-defense anyways?


I was stopped from thinking anymore about the subject, when my Mother has

brought Breakfast. So I thanked my mother, and started digging in the food.

"So how is your school?" my Mother said, while eating some fried eggs with her

fork. "Pretty good I guess?," I replied, while also eating a tasty waffle.

"I am trying to practice Swordsmanship more, so I can get better than you," then

I drank my orange juice, and finished my tasty Breakfast very fast, so I can go

to the sink to wash my hands.

"I also wish to become a Master at Swordsmanship like our ancestor Cipher," I

said with enthusiasm.

"That's a big goal, and a hard one at that too ,but I won't mind aslong as you

care about yourself, and be a good man like your Father," said my Mom with a sad

voice, while washing the dishes.

My Mother's name is Sara Astra, and she has been sad since my Father's death,

whose name is Haru Astra, I remember that I was 7-year-old kid at that time. My

Mother says that he was a kind person that cared about everyone, but sadly he

died from an unkown illness.

Since then, me and my Mother lived alone, so my mother had to move to an another

city to find a new job, so we had moved to a place called Sakura City, where she

found a new job that paid very well, so she can keep us happy, healthy and

entertained.

"Don't worry mom I will become a good guy, and help the weak," I went and kissed

my mother's cheeks, then went upstairs, "thanks for the food mom, I love you,"

then I continued my way to my room.

Few seconds have passed, while she looked at her son's back going to his room.

She smiled, and started organising the cleaned dishes, then she muttered "Our

Son has grown alot since you left Dear," with a happy smile on her face.

Also, can I talk about how copy and paste, reorganised the order of the story?
You also did well in separating dialogues from other filler texts with good breaks. But some part like where you break on certain texts is like you are trying for a poem or a comic effect which does not work in writing unless you draw pictures and post it here.
