This is my first fanfiction, so it's probably going to be awful but hey I'm not the one reading this
Many people know the story of Jen Yu and the Green Destiny sword, however most people don't know the real story of the real hero, me.
Wait, no, nevermind I can't be there because I'm an American living in 2016 and this story takes place in 19th century China.
This is the story of the greatest warrior who ever lived, and the greatest weapon ever created, Abacus Man and his abacus
Abacus Man, and the Black Destiny Abacus
Abacas Man was the only name he ever knew, besides Abacus Boy when he was younger, but that is a different story. He was named this because of the abacus he had while growing up on the streets. He had taught himself how to use the abacus for adding and counted things fast for money. Now, he was about to go to the literal height of Math and Science, Wudan Mountain.
Abacus Man was about to start climbing the steps when he noticed something falling down them. "That blow to the head must have been harder than I thought," said Abacus Man, "I'm seeing things, wait no that's someone falling down the steps! Oh shi–" Abacus Man barely dodged the projectile of blood, muscle, organs, and bone fragments that used to be Jen Yu who had just plummeted to her death.
Abacus Man looked at the site in absolute horror. He thought 'That was once a person, a real living person with thoughts and feelings and–' "Oh look another one" said a passing monk. "What?" replied Abacus Man. The monk then replied "There's this old myth about that has something to do with flying if you jump off of Wudan Mountain or something, but, as you can see here, it's fake." Abacus Man replied, full of horror, "That's awful, but it's a rare occurrence right?" The Monk then said, "It happens more often than you think, see, look there's another one." The body of Lo then tumbled down a few feet farther. "Don't worry, you get used to it" said the monk as he began climbing the stairs.
Abacus Man waited at the bottom for much longer still processing that there were two corpses right in front of him. Then Jen stood up, or rather her soul did. Abacus Man screamed out of pure fear and wouldn't stop. Jen chose to ignore the familiar-looking screaming man with an abacus, and instead focus on the other corpse besides her own.
Jen Yu reflected upon the corpse that was once Lo, and mourned for what felt like hours, and eventually moved onto the acceptance stage of grief. As soon as she did, however, she realized the man with the abacus was still screaming. "Hey, you, guy, stop screaming." Jen Yu said. Abacus Man then immediately obliged. "Ok, based on the numerous stares and confused looks the many onlookers have given you and not me probably means that you are the only one who can see me," said Jen Yu while gesticulating, "so I'd like to make a formal introduction. Hello my name is Jen Yu, I come from a powerful family and am recently deceased." Abacus Man replied, "the only name I have ever known is Abacus Man and I come from the streets, but, if you don't mind me asking, what does 'gesticulating' mean?" "What do you mean?" said Yu. "It said a few lines ago that you were talking while 'gesticulating' and I don't know what that word means." Abacus Man replied. "Hey, what does that word mean," said Yu. It means to use your hands to convey your point better, it's a very useful word. "Thanks for clearing that up writer in that incredibly meta moment, but can you explain why only Abacus Man can see me?" It's about as realistic as the physics in the movie. "Ok but how about an actual explanation?" Jen Yu then decided to stop criticizing my fanfiction before I had her die in an incredibly awful way. Yu then said, "You know, that gesticulating joke isn't going to translate well for the one Chinese guy who actually reads this." Fuck off.
"Ok, I don't know what to think of that so I'm just going to continue my journey to the top of Wudan," said Abacus Man, "I'm just going to head up to the top of this mountain that has a ton of armed guards with the abacus a mysterious old monk gave to me in the bad part of town telling me to use it carefully before disappearing after a dragon flew overhead and whose dragon marking then began glowing immediately after." Jen Yu then asked "Have you heard rumors that the people up there are looking for a specific abacus?" "Well yes, who hasn't?" replied Abacus Man. "Well this is going to end well." said Jen Yu sarcastically.
So one Chinese guy, this is my first fanfiction. Yea, I know. I think I have some promise, but this kind of sucks. Please try to tell me how to improve.
