"Hey little guy are you okay?" the middle-aged man asked again.

"I'm fine. Thank you, mister, " Lenin said gratefully. He didn't know how the lizard disappeared but he was pretty sure the man saved his life.

At first glance, Lenin noticed the aura of a leader on the middle-aged man. He also notices the shiny armor the man was wearing which looked very expensive. From his observation, Lenin knew the middle-aged man was probably someone strong.

As Lenin was observing him the man was also observing Lenin. At first, the man didn't have any expression but soon it turned into shock.

"How old are you," the man asked slowly.

"I'm 5" lenin answered honestly.

When the middle-aged man heard Lenin his shock grew and he instantly appeared in front of Lenin. It was so fast Lenin couldn't even react to it. By the time he reached the man already had his hand on Lenins abdomen.

'No!!! I can't let my innocence go like this. I'd rather die' Lenin was determined to fight with everything he's got. "Sir I'm begging you I'm just a poor boy. If you're into this I know other kids in my village who might be much more to your liking." Lenin said as he hugs his chest with a pitiful look. 'im sorry village kids. I really am.'

When the middle-aged man heard Lenin he suddenly froze. There was even embarrassment on his face as he took a few steps back.

"I'm sorry I was just excited. " the man apologized while scratching his head. "can you tell me what you are doing out here alone?"

When Lenin heard the man apologize he exhaled in relief. 'false alarm. but that was very scary '

"I was out here exploring when I met these lizard things." Lenin skipped over the game of tag which led him here.

"where are your parents," the man asked again.

" I'm sorry sir my mom said not to speak to strangers. I'm really grateful you saved my life. " After saying that Lenin started to rush towards the village with all his might.

The man was left speechless as he watched Lenin disappeared into the trees. "what a strange little fellow. let's see how you run away from me." the man said to himself. The man then disappears into thin air as if he was never there in the first place.

after running for a while Lenin was already close to the village. along the way, he ran in a zig-zag and even took detours to make sure the man wouldn't follow him. After he got to the entrance of the village he finally relaxed.

sigh* 'first day outside and nearly died. should've just stayed inside' Lenin thought as he walked home.

"Mom I'm..." before he could finish Rea had already pulled him into her embrace. Lenin also noticed that she had tears in her eyes. 'what the hell is going on'

"Thank god for your safety," she said as she finally released him from her embrace. Lenin was finally able to see the living room and his confusion turns into shock.

Inside the room, there was Owen, Fredid, and shocking the middleaged man he met in the forest. "you! How?" Lenin was genuinely shocked as he pointed at the man.

" Falis dont be rude to our guest" Owen reprimanded Lenin in a very strict tone. Be then turned towards the mysterious man and respectfully said "Sir I'm sorry. he's been spoiled since birth and he can be rude sometimes."

This whole interaction left Lenin speechless. he's never seen his dad talk or act respectfully to anyone not even to Fredid. The mysterious man sat there silently as he stared at Lenin.

"We meet again little fellow. Let me introduce my self my name is Togen Regalis," said Togen.

"You're The Togen Regalis!!" Fredid blurted out hysterically.

Togen was still looking at Lenin. "Now that I've told you my name. Will you take me as your master?"

This time even Fredid was speechless. Lenin had no idea how to reply. 'Dude I dont even know who you are my guy.' Lenin started wishing he never left the house at all today.

He looked at his parent who was also very confused. Only Fredid was nodding his head like a bobblehead. "will you take him away if he becomes your disciple?" finally Rae spoke up. 'Thanks, mom'

"If he wants to, " Togen responded calmly.

Now everyone was looking at Lenin, each having a different expression. ' what to do, what to do. Fuck it! since you came all the way to my house how can I even refuse? '

"I accept you as my master. " Lenin said helplessly.
