Bandits

It's been 2 months since when Eric started his first Gluttony cycle.

In these two months, Eric finishes his next cycle in 1 month and 5 days. He was able to hold back 5 more days compare to his first cycle.

Eric is at a decent pace with his Gluttony cycle but his Lust path is not making any progress. Due to his gluttony cycle, Eric becomes abnormal in the eyes of the villagers.

Well, there is a reason for that as he periodically starves and overeats. Because of this, his body becomes fat, and then after some period, his body shrunk like a skeleton. No sane person will think of him as a normal being. Even the few women he started making progress with now are avoiding him.

All his plan and method fails to give him any result. Some bad rumors about him having some kind of deadly disease spread in the whole village. All of this is going outside his plans. He has become quite desperate after spending these 2 months without any progress.

Eric urgently needs to start his Lust path. According to Lee once he becomes a warrior, then mortal girls will not work and he will have sex with that many Warrior women that's impossible in his eyes.

According to Lee, any sin path is more difficult to start than further training in them.

Eric wants to take an aptitude test and join the academy at 18 years. He cannot delay it any further. If he does not find the solution fast he has to either sacrifice joining an academy or forget about Lust's path. Both of these are a big no for him.

In desperation, Eric also wants to force some women but then he knew that once this news spread in the village, he has to leave the village.

He does not want to risk his mana core break by leaving the path in half. He tries to think of every way he can start his lust path but, in the end, everything fails.

Today he heard the news that may give him a way to start the lust path.

As the saying goes when there is a will then there will be a way.

Today everyone in the village is quite nervous and is busy hiding things from their house in different places.

After asking he comes to know that a group of bandits come to the village once every year to collect ransom from the villagers.

He knows that this may be his final opportunity to start the Lust path.

In the afternoon, everyone in the village gathers in front of the village including him. The village chief is standing in front of the villagers.

When Eric scans the crowd, he only finds men above 15 standing there whereas women and children are hiding in the village.

After some time 10 men sitting on the back of some beast arrive in front of the village. Eric becomes intrigued after finding the beast. He finds that these beasts are low-level stage 1 mana beasts. All the bandits are mortal but their mounts are on the warrior path. He finds it hilarious.

All 10 bandits come near the village and stop. One of the fugitives first scans the crowd and then starts laughing.

"haa Boss, what you say is always true. This village is always best when it comes to earning easy money"

A large man wearing some kind of jacket made from the skin of the beat said to the man who just laugh.

"Kevin, why are you wasting time? If the boss becomes angry, he may want to destroy the village and we have to do extra work."

Hearing the bulky man's words every villager feels a chill in their spine. Most of them have their head down and they were cursing Kevin in their heart. They have heard the rumor that a village got destroyed and everyone inside of it was either killed or sold. All this happened just because of the rude behavior of that village's chief and the bad mood of the bandit boss.

Kevin replied in a playful tone.

"You are no fun Rein. I still do not understand why you are the boss's right-hand man while I am only left. Tsk At least let's take some women to enjoy ourselves."

Villagers keep cursing Kevin in their hearts but Rein's refusal relieves them.

"No, we already have many women and we do not have time to stay in the village to enjoy. Quickly finish the job we come here for."

"tsk, serious as always."

Saying Kevin walks toward the village chief.

"You must be chief mmm, do you collect the said amount we ask last time."

"Yes, sir you can count it."

Handing over the money village chief said.

Kevin starts counting and the boss, Rein, and others wait behind for Kevin to finish.

Just as Kevin finishes counting a loud voice interrupts him.

"Wait a minute."

Eric comes forward to the villager's dismay and the bandits' amusement.

Few of the villagers try to stop him but he ignores them and wildly come forward.

Kevin turns back and ask the Boss.

"Hey, Boss you do not mind if I teach someone with a hero problem".

Boss nodded his head.

Turning back Kevin says to Eric with a smirk.

"Go on, tell me what you want little balls."

Eric is muscular as he is still in the middle of the 3rd cycle. But he is still only 15 years old. So he is small in height. Gritting his teeth Eric speaks with a fit of fake anger.

"Baster, who you are calling the little balls your balls are little, mine is bigger than eggs and I am Eric."

haha haha

Every bandit start laughing loudly while the villagers were trying hard to control their laughter.

"Haaa you got some guts kid. Eric is it, what great wisdom, do you want to share with us?"

A vein popped on Kevin's head. He spat those words. Even though villagers know that Eric is doing something stupid but they still thank him in their hearts. Eric is an outsider standing for them while they did nothing. A feeling of shame emerges in their hearts.

Eric's next word breaks those feeling before they can fully manifest.

"I want to become a bandit. Can I join you?"

There's a pin a drop of silence in the crowd. Whether it was villagers or bandits never in their wild dream did they expect Eric to say that.

Kevin dumbly stares at Eric and ask again.

"What do you say, I think my ears are playing something wrong can you say that again."

"No, what you hear is correct. I want to join you guys."

Kevin turns toward Boss and spoke.

"Boss I think it's some mentally ill guy."

"No, you little balls Kevin guy, I am not mentally challenged."

Kevin is almost ready to pound on him when someone interrupts them. It was Rein who spoke.

"Why do you want to become a bandit and why join us."

After some time Eric reply.

"Well, You guys are the only bandit that I know that's why I want to join you."

Eric takes a breath and continues.

"I want to become a bandit to fulfill my dream."

Curiously Kevin asks

"What is your dream."

Kevin can not think of anything which can only be filed by becoming a bandit.

"haa, My dream is..."

Everybody thing along the line that he will say something like money and power.

"My dream is to have lots of food and sex".

Kevin falls back from his mounted beast. More than half of the villagers and bandits fall from shock.

Everybody stares at Eric with a dumbstruck look.

The food, they can still take that but sex. Is this dream of 15 years talking about? Everybody questions their life right now.

This time silence is broken by the loud laughter of the Boss. He asks curiously.

"Hahaha, Do tell me how many times you did sex before for you to dream of it."

"Well, I am still a virgin."

This answer once again makes the crowd crazy. You do not have sex still your dream is to have sex daily.

Unable to contain this question Kevin ask.

"If you never have sex then why do you dream of daily sex."

"Isn't you always dream the thing you never have."

Eric seriously responded. Boss once again laughs and speaks.

"Hahaha, I like you. Sure, you can join us."

"Wait a minute I have a condition to join."

Boss, amusingly asks "oh what condition do you have now."

Eric starts thinking.

On the side, both Kevin and Rein try to convince Boss to not recruit the crazy boy. In their opinion boy is nothing but crazy.

Boss on the other hand focus on Eric's body. In his eyes, although the boy is a little crazy, he is still powerful and can help his group.

Eric spoke

"I want to have sex daily till I die and I want so much food once a month that I can die from eating it whole."

Although requests are quite weird Boss accepts him in his bandit group.

That is how Eric the village boy becomes Eric the crazy bandit.

The crazy bandit who has no interest in money or luxury life. He only comes after lots of women and food.

ha hahaha
