Someone who has never eaten sugar will never crave sweets

And for me, "Sweet" is a story.

I still remember my first story as it was yesterday. I was 9 years old and just starting to help with the farm. At that time, I was just another farm boy who never knew anything outside my immediate circle.

But that day something different happened in the village, not to brag about our village, but I think it was a pretty well off village-maybe because we have a witch doctor, so disease is not a life and death matter or maybe because we have a veteran hunter, so even in a dangerous winter we have food supplies to rely on to not starve to death.

Anyway, it was a good village, and just like any other village it had one glaring weakness.

This village is boring

Maybe it was harsh for me to judge, but I was a child and as a child I was as honest as I could be.

So when a traveling bard, I come to our village, I was the first one running to the show.

And it was the first time I "consumed" my first story.

It was about a noble being punished because he was sleeping on a job.

His job was not important, the important thing. He was punished by the king for delivering a letter to another kingdom. I suspect he was a king's secret child because rather than punished it was more like he was sent away to avoid him dealing with bad rumors.

Of course, as a noble he had an escort to guard him. He got exactly three people.

A Rebel Leader

A Pervert

And Bandit Head

I was shocked at first and almost wiped my suspicion of him being a secret king child, but as the story went on I was sure he was really a secret king child Why? Because his escort is really strong, so strong that I suspect he was a different creature than the rest of us.

How can one person fight against hundreds of enemies single-handedly without a single scratch?

How can a single fist defeat strong magic?

And how can a person destroy a mountain with a single punch?

It was definitely a fictional story with a lot of embellishment, but I don't care because it was exciting.

With all that power, how can he be just a noble escort? It was revealed in the backstory, the rebel leader's story.

The rebel leader was born with super strength, unrivaled throughout his life. He never lost a single fight.

He fought, and fought and fought until he proclaimed himself as a king with a throne made of his enemies.

Of course, there can't be two tigers on a single mountain. No kingdom can have two kings at the same time, so begin an epic story of the rebel leader trying to overthrow the crown. At first strength, he won victory after victory, gathering comrades left and right.

He was at the peak of his life.

And just like how a life can have an up, it can have a down his life made a dowturn really fast just like a person jumping from a cliff

His comrades fell one by one until only he was left. Even his super strength failed him at his most important moment.

Until he was kneeling in front of the king and the king said to him "You want to be a king,, alrighrt I will crown you myself."

The king put a crown made of gold on. Why did the king give him a crown?

Because there was no crown, it was a slave collar made to look like a crown.

And so the rebel leader's backstory ends with him looking downward like a defeated dog.

The traveling bard continues with the story, but I couldn't really concentrate anymore because I was so moved by the rebel leader's backstory and before I knew it, the story came to an end and the traveling bard departed from the village.

That's the last time I saw him.
