Time OFF

The addicted dragon

A short time ago, there was a dragon with a bad breath and tooth decay. His name was Richie, a typical dragon, living on the top of the Yellow Mountain, nearby the ancient village Santan. As every other dragon, Richie was terrifying, especially his breath, but that what happens when you eat too many sweets. Remember kid, don't be like Richie! So, this petrifying dragon was a guardian of the Yellow Mountain since time unremembered. His insatiable appetite was famous among every single villager of Santan. There was fear and hatred in their hearts, but nobody had the courage to face the beast. Day after day, the reserves of crisps, coke, and sweeties were going down in front of hundreds sobbing children.

Meanwhile, the dragon was lying down in his den:

- "NOOBS! My team is full of NOOOBS! COME HERE BITCH!"

Richie was playing CS:GO most of the times, pretty much all the time, except when he was watching a movie, having a sleep or flying down to Santan. Indeed, Richie was a decent player, but his impulsive temper was often going out of control. At these moments, he liked to torch his gaming gear and then go seize a better one. Richie loved the smell of a brand new desktop with 16-core processor and 66'' 4K monitor. He would love to share this badass screen with a bunch of friends, but there were no dragons in the entire district. The only pals of this lonely dragon were his teammates in the cs clan. Winning small competitive tournaments was the greatest achievement of Richie's life.

Like every other Sunday, the villagers had to pay their burdens, consisting of 25kg sweeties, 1000 packets of crisps, 120 bottles of coke and a little bit of chicken. However, there was a problem this time, a kg of snickers was missing and all the stores had run out of it. People gathered to discuss the situation and decided with one voice to provide some extra crisps which will hopefully please the fearsome dragon. The time came and Richie wasn't too happy to hear the news, so, he requested 30kg of sweets and homemade chocolate cakes in compensation for today's misfortune. In case, they fail to perform the duty, the dragon gave the promise to destroy all the rice plantations. Of course, Richie would not really do it, but he had to keep his fierce reputation in front of the mortals.

Frightened to death, people's instinct of survival roared to life, and the villagers of Santan rose in rebellion against the malicious creature. Only one week to craft the armor, prepare the weapons, enchant the gear and motivate the soldiers. One week until the battle of the century. The plan was sneaky, climb the Yellow Mountain at dust, and hit the dragon when he's suspecting nothing. On Saturday night, everything was ready, 1337 troops ready to sacrifice their lives in the name of the sweeties, alongside 49 tanks, 63 helicopters, 348 machine guns, and 468 of the X78 newest military robots. This fucking dragon was going down!

The moment of truth was near, the formidable army was knocking on the door, the glorious battle was about to begin. Breathless silence, followed by a deafening blast of explosives, the gate was down. The troops stormed into the cavern with a battle cry:

- "FOR THE SWEETIES! YEEEEEEAAAAAAHH!! DIE MOTHERFUCKERRRRRR!!!!"

The den was devastated and the dragon, well, he wasn't actually there. Richie flew away that morning to participate in his first live CS tournament. His team finished second and that was the day when Richie made the choice to devote his life for the game. Undoubtedly, a memorable day for everyone.
