If only common sense was actually common. It's your loss if you mind it.
Daniel Ackland was a 16 year old. His life has always been one madness to another. At the age of 18 minutes, yes minutes, his mother was killed by ninjas. Not that he remembered it.
Fearing their lives, his cowardly father fled to the mountains. Sadly, he didn't live for very long and left the world when Dan was only eight years old.
Barely knowing how to read, the child was left with a little hut, some money, and a lot of books.
Not knowing how to sustain himself, turned to the books left in the study, he learnt many things. Social interaction was, however, not one of those things.
Surviving on wild vegetables, scavenging fruit, farming and hunting, lived his life peacefully until the age of 14.

On a cold winters day, the ninja's from his mother's former clan had found him. Abducted from his sleep, he was forced to train and become an assassin. Not that it was hard work, it was much easier than hunting bears and wolfs, which to him was almost a weekly occurrence.
In his 16th year, he escaped one night, well, walked out the front gate, sending bullets into everyone else's heads. Having had enough, he was bored and decided he wanted to go and explore the world.
After all, he was raised as a lonely child, and didn't trust anyone other than himself. Killing people was just another part of a Ninja's life, and so is backstabbing.
So off he went on his journey, until he was hit in the head with a softball, which, mind you, isn't soft at all. Stumbling, he fell onto the road and was sent flying, crashing into the window of the local bank. His body flew in front of the police force just as the bank robber fired his gun. And shot in the heart, he died.
Which brings us to now, the present. This is the story of a boy, severly lacking common sense, decided he wanted to kill the hero, and did. All because he stole the last meat bun. Oh, and his sidekicks desperate attempts at stopping him.
