2 years have passed since he joins the bandit group.

In the past 2 years, he learns many lessons and almost died a few times. In these 2 years, he truly experiences the power of good strategy vs brutal strength. As a bandit, most of his time was spent either enjoying or fighting.

For two whole years, he was either fighting or looting someone or fucking women here and there. The life of a bandit is complete chaos. He sees how bandits live in the present instead of thinking about the past or future. In the last two years, he did not know how many times he almost loses his life. He does not know what he will face the next day. Most of his daily plans failed every day because of some unexpected reason. Despite all this, he enjoys living as a bandit. He learns how it is the present time that is most important than the future or past. He learns how to handle unexpected situations on daily bases.

He also learns some bandit fighting ways. Which is If he hit you once then you will reply with 2. The barbaric way may not help him increase his strength but all this fighting for the past 2 years does provide him experience on how to fight. It helps him develop the mental ability to think in a fight.

Physically, not much change but mentally he is a completely different person. Whenever he thinks about the last 2-year crazy life a smile forms on his face. Now only 1 day left for the regional war to start.

In the event, the time wars happen academies will also start recruiting.

Many things change and many plans change. Now he is not the same youth who only has a dream and nothing else. He starts fighting, he started to understand his way.

In the past when he started his journey as a bandit, he did not think that it would be this difficult. He always thought that a mortal person was nothing more than a failure who was not able to become Warrior. But these 2 years showed him that even a mortal can be more cunning than the warrior he used to meet.

He learns how few bandits can loot large craven with multiple guards. He also faces many lessons within these 2 years. His first lesson started when he capture Nina and the other girls from the village he used to stay.

Although at the start nothing major happens he started his Lust path by deflowering Nina. With Nina, he started the path of Lust. His life was simple just to capture women from villages and have sex with them.

At that time most of the bandits in his group remain distanced away from him but crazy guy Kevin always came to annoy him. He had given a fake story to the bandit that he can only eat once a month because of this he would become weaker during some period. Rein did question him about it but most of the bandits ignore him.

Except for a few girls with him he had nothing that they covert so they just did not like to associate with him. He was very happy about that.

In the bandit camp, there was never a time when they lack women. There were many women that they capture and anybody can fuck any girl they wanted except for a few girls.

There are a few basic rules in the bandit camp. One of them is that Every member of the group can have 1 girl, especially for themselves. No other member can have sex with those women except for 1 single member. Anybody can fuck women if they are not chosen.

At the start, he selected Nina as his girl. He thought that Nina will appreciate his little mercy on her. He know that Nina hated him but he still gave her a chance. That was his plan. For the first 6 months, everything was good. But he faced a life-threatening attack by Nina.

Yes, it's hard to believe but it's happened. For 6 months Nina always behave like she was in love with him. She fakes it for 6 months. As Nina was the first girl he had sex with, he also started to believe that she started to love him. This made him lower his guard around her.

Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

One night when he was almost at his starving stage and doing his daily sex with Nina. After the sex, he was a little dizzy because of starving and Nina made use of his weakness and stabbed a dagger in his chest and ran away.

He survived because the dagger misses his heart and Kevin's timely rescue. After some bandages, he survived but the weakness from the blood loss almost causes him to eat something to survive. That time he had to lay in bed for 2 days paralyzed so as not to break his Gluttony cycle and his mana core. This incident shattered his somewhat innocent heart. That day he emotionally change. He started to see sex as a task. He became cold-blooded and inhuman.

He still remembered that after getting up on his feet first thing he did what to start a search for Nina. Other members also help him with that. They also wanted to take it as a chance to show what happened if someone dare to attack a member of their group.

After some time bandits found Nina. Eric rushed to confront her, upon asking the reason for her betrayal she told him that she was pregnant. Her reason was that she attack him to save her/his child's survival. She pleads to him at that time that he can do anything with her but to let her child be born.

He did the opposite of what she wanted. He ruthlessly kills her and his child. In his eyes, no one is more important than him and his dream.

If he died then what is the use of him having a child or wife? Everything comes after his own life and dream. He was not a saint who sacrifice himself just for someone who did not even come into the world.

At that time, he chooses to break the morals that bound him from birth. He breaks all the moral values of mortals. He transforms himself into a warrior who lived to fight in the war, Who only thing about how to increase his strength and who only does things that benefit him.

On that day he also decides to work on the family plan suggested by Lee. He know that most likely this plan may fail but just for a small probability of success, he started this plan also.

From that day on Eric does have lots of sex with women. He chooses the best of them and makes them pregnant and drops them back to the village they come from.

He drops the woman carrying his child off where they come from. He also threatened the village chief to make sure the child did not die until 16 and he made many other arrangements to recognize that child in the future. He did not stop at that he also announced to his bandit group that he will become a warrior in the future and they can send their child to him in case they get selected to become warriors.

Well most of them laugh at his announcement but he still provides them with some methods to send their child to him in the future. He still remembers that day after the announcement Kevin came to him for the talk.

"Eric this new fever you got yourself. Forget about children and all you already are old enough to get your self in aptitude test. I always thought you were not selected as a warrior like all of us that's why you want to become a bandit."

After the incident, he became closer to Kevin, not emotionally but he started talking with Kevin. Eric replied at that time.

"Nope, I will take my test on my last attempt. I know I will pass the exam. That is why I give offers to all of you guys."

"hahahahha, You are really crazy, Let's say you got selected as a warrior then why do you need all those children? I know you are no saint so what the deal."

"You are right Kevin, You know that every strong person needs some minions these children will act as those."

"Even your own."

"Yup"

"Damn you are heartless, how can you think like that about your yet to born children. You heartless bastard."

"Kevin, You are not the person to say something like that. Just tell me will you send your children or not."

"HAhahahahahahahah, you are right. Why will I care for someone who will be born in the future? I do not know if all the things you think will happen according to your plan but let me be part of your crazy plan."

Just after that talk Eric and Kevin both started to make women pregnant. After a few months, some more members join them in this act.

From that day, the story of crazy bandits who kidnaps women and then leave them pregnant spread through many villages and makes people tremble in fear. Just like that Eric spend his 2 years looting people, Fighting others, and making babies.
