Eric's plan for the family is quite simple.
Currently, he has or will have 10 children in different villages. To protect those children, he places many other women with someone else's child mixed with them.
He also will have 30 children from other members of the bandit group. In total around 40 children for now. Now the probability of them having the aptitude to become warriors is very low. But it is better than nothing.
If everything goes according to his plan then he is planning to train a few of them for his army, but nothing fix for now. Eric stopped thinking about all of this as these things are still far in the future. He needs to survive before he can work on his plans.
Currently, Eric is in Algoma city, which is the largest city near the forest. He waiting for an aptitude test which will happen in 2 days.
In the last 2 years, he finishes his lust training and half of the gluttony task.

Eric walks toward the large plaza in the city. While walking he thinks to himself.
'mmm, lust training is quite easier than gluttony. After finishing lust training although I did not get any cool power other than sensing someone lust near me. My will has become stronger and after spending 2 years between women I do get the confidence to handle them. The power to sense someone's lust is quite useful to manipulate someone.
As for Gluttony training, even though the training is not finished, I can control my body fat to make me look fat or skinny. My food consumption on each cycle also increased.
If in my first cycle I was able to eat food worth 10 people and survive 1 month. Now I can eat 50-60 people worth of food and survive 4 months. I think I need 2-3 more cycles to finish my training. Collecting so much food also become a headache for me. For only collecting food I had to loot 2 small villages of their food. All the problems will be solved once I join an academy.'
In the last two years, Eric also become a leading figure in the bandit gang after Boss, Rein, and Kevin. Even though everyone tags him as a lunatic, they still care for him. The last 2 years had formed a bond between himself and the gang. This is a bond of friendship.
Well, everyone thing so except Boss and himself. In his eyes, the bandit is nothing but a tool he uses for his training. As for the boss he never understands the guy. So he cannot say anything about what the guy thinking. Last year he also learn to form bonds with other people based on benefits. He has now become a good actor who can fake his emotion.

Currently, he looks like a little fat wealthy kid. He is roaming in the city alone. Algoma city is surrounded by forest from three sides. A huge wall surrounds the city and works as a defence. This is the nearest city to the area he lives with the bandit. He decided to take his test in the city. To not miss the aptitude test he is staying in a small house in the slum near the wall of the city. With him, only Kevin come to the city as other have other work to do.
Algoma city is in the form of multiple rings. The outer ring which is near the wall is the area of slums. This place is the most dangerous and most important to the city. This is the place where criminals who create chaos in the city and workers who manage the whole city both of the polar opposite live there.
The middle ring has inns and bars. There are also different entertainment sources present there. The middle ring is all about the market. There are many different shop present there. The middle ring is the financial backbone of the city.
The inner ring contains many mansions and city administrative offices. This place is for rich dogs. You can say that the owners of the city live there. The inner ring is the largest and the outer is the smallest. Separating each ring are small walls. At the centre of the city is a large empty plaza.
That place is the most important in the city. That plaza represents the hope and dream of the city to become warriors. On that plaza once every year warriors come to test the Aptitude of people below or at 18 years.
Eric told the gang that he wants to try his luck at becoming a warrior as this is his last chance. Well, no one believes in his chance to become a warrior. But because of his craziness for the past 2 years, they let him do as he pleases and Kevin come with him saying that he will provide his shoulder in the movement if Eric fails the exam.
Eric smirked at their reason he knows that when he will pass the test most of the crew members will have definitely have heart failure from the shock. Just like that he and Kevin stay in the City to gather information as much as they can.
A few days later …
Today is the day when warriors will come to take children who pass the aptitude.
Today, At early in the morning city is active. Eric and Kevin just come out of their house. Eric sees that everyone is quite organized today instead of rushing they are doing work fast but in an organized way.
He sees that many adults are coming out of their houses and standing on the sides of the main road which starts from the city gate and leads to the central plaza. In front of the city gate, many higher-ups and the mayor of town are present waiting for warriors. Any child who met the age requirement is rushing to the plaza. Most of the main road is filled with these children running toward the plaza.
Many city guards are checking every house to make sure that nobody is forced to not take this test. Eric finds that there is a rule which says that if someone is forced to not take the test and warriors found that then the mayor of the city, that child's family, the person responsible for the incident, and many security management people can face a death sentence. That is why guards are making sure of it that nobody is trapped or anything. This all shows that mortal respect as well as fear the warriors.
He can see many boys and girls who are in torn-up cloth and bruises all over their bodies running toward the plaza with a shine in their eyes. Eric can understand them. For the first time may be his eyes also have those shining in them. but today he does not have any of those emotions in him. Instead, his eyes have a playful look.
Eric finds that city's arrangements are somewhat different from the village.
It's different from the village where everyone gathers in the same place, instead in the city people are crowded on the sides of the main road and only high officials are present at the gate of the city. He also finds that number of children taking part in the aptitude test is 10 times more than that of the village.
Examining all of that He looks toward Kevin and speaks.
"Just wait to see the starting legend of my journey. I will show you and other that what I said was true not my delusion".
Saying that he joins other children and starts going toward the central plaza. Kevin focus his eyes on the back of Eric. Currently, Eric is fat so in Kevin's eyes, he looks unique compared to other weaker children.
Kevin smiled after seeing Eric rushing toward the plaza. He does not know whether Eric's saying the truth or not but he truly wants Eric to become a warrior. His reason, Well he wanted to brag about him having a warrior friend. Thinking that he started laughing. Everyone near him looks at him with a weird expression.
Eric reaches the central plaza. Children who want to take aptitude tests are all gathered at the town plaza. There are almost 4-5 thousand children already present there and many are still coming to the plaza. He notices that children are standing in many different groups. Most of the rich are present at the centre of the plaza. Whereas poor children from slums are present at the sides of the plaza.
Everyone of them has tension on their face. They all are very nervous and hoping for the best. In all this nervousness Eric is checking one girl after another.!!!!!!!!
What?
Yup, you heard right, he is a pervert after all.
