The Village of Weaklings 1

Rin was exploring like usual, enjoying the nice green forest scenery in front of him as he walked. On closer examination one would see the trees and grass were all made of sand. What a surprise.

Rin smiled at such a beautiful sight as he traversed through the area under the warm sun and soon enough.. he happened upon what looked like a small wooden wall.

Of course, Rin took the wall as a challenge and busted right through it, smashing it in two. Almost instantaneously, an angry old man the size of a twig came waddling out with a beet red face. He shook his hands in front of Rin with tears beginning to form.

"What did you do to my gate?! I, Old man Daniel will not stand for this! I demand to know what faction you are from so I can request payment!" Old man Daniel shouted at the top of his lungs at Rin.

Rin put his hands in front of him defensively and began to walk backwards. "Look man.. I didn't mean to break your gate! Well, I did.. but I mean I didn't know it was your gate in the first place!"

Old man Daniel wasn't having it. He must have a payment returned. He felt that he spent an eternity building the wall just for it to end up like that! Ridiculous! He must seek retribution!

"Look kid. Either ya pay me or I take you as a slave and use you for free labor!" The old man said with his eye brows scrunched together.

Rin thought about it for a second. He could agree to the terms.. but it was another story if he'd follow through with it.

'Let's just see what kind of work it is..' Rin reasoned to himself before nodding his head and agreeing to become the old man's slave, well temporarily at least.

The old man was awestruck. Did this kid just agree to be his slave?! Now he can get that wall fixed and have him do more things after that! It was the perfect deal!

"Ehehehehe.. Great." The old man widely grinned showcasing his mouth that was absent of any teeth. "Follow me, I have to do some paperwork in my village so no one will think you are a trespasser.." Old man Daniel chuckled as he waved to Rin to follow him on a walk.

Rin followed the old man for two hours until he was met with a small village with terribly built buildings.

Rin's eyes began to tear up.. This place reminded him of his old home.

Old man Daniel saw Rin crying and just assumed that he was having second thoughts on the entire thing and so he looked at him angrily.

"Don't even think about backing out now! Now here, put this on!" Old man Daniel threw a dog leash to Rin with the name "Herbert" imprinted on it.

Rin caught it with ease and looked at the poor quality of the item. Not only was it cheaply made, but there was a disgusting stench accompanied with it that made him gag.

Rin could even swear that he saw neighboring flies attempting to flock onto the leash and create a new home!

"Wow.. what a sight." Rin looked surprised at the leash before the old man suddenly slapped Rin on the back harshly.

"Quit playin' around and put it on Herbert!" The old man yelled at Rin and then smiled.

Rin looked down at the leash then at the old man again. He really wants me to put this on? He thought.

Then.. out of no where Rin erupted with joy. "Thank you!" Rin smiled as he suddenly hugged the old man tightly. The old man let out a coughing sound and then a cracking was heard.

Rin's smile was so wide that he couldn't tell that he had just broken the man he was holding into pieces. He was simply overjoyed by the fact that somebody gave him a present after all this time..

The people around began to take notice and it wasn't long before a crowd was formed around Rin who was holding onto the old man's distorted corpse.

Rin let go and put his collar on and only then did he notice that the man was no more but juice in a skin bag.

"..." What a weakling.. Rin rolled his eyes and ignored the surrounding people as he walked back home..

"Yeah. Not going back there again.. going to mark this village off of my map and dub it the Village of weaklings!"
