Selim Bradley is twelve years old, rich, a straight A student, Student Council President, and is already in his senior year. And to top it all off, he will become the King of the Senior Prom. Or so he thinks. After Edward Elric loses his arm and leg in a car crash, people started to flock to him instead of Selim. They even put him in the Senior Prom King Election in pity. Inspired by Ryan Scott Oliver’s song ‘The Ballad of Sara Berry’, follow the story of how a boy slowly loses his sanity over the course of a school year all because he lets his pride and arrogance get the best of him.
It’s finally here! The second and third chapter will be posted a bit later, but in the meantime enjoy the prologue of my FMA Big Bang Story!

Update #1: Chapter 1 and 2 are up!
Edward Elric isn’t the best when it comes to staying out of trouble. From causing mayhem in Potion Brewery to nearly traumatizing the Theatre teacher with an audition in last year’s school play, he can’t seem to stay away from trouble. But underneath all that troublesome exterior, Edward just wants someone to understand him. But it’s pretty much hard when some people fear him for his royal status and when he’s a half demon-half angel hybrid. Things take a turn for the worst, however, when Edward accidentally releases an evil alchemist, Dante, from her eternal prison. Armed with an ancient sword of a long forgotten hero and his alchemy skills, Edward sets off on a journey to stop Dante from destroying everything that he knows and loves. Because deep down, he swears that he’s a good kid.
