Episode 13: "Welcome to Snowdrift Village!"

Finally, Civilization! (Or So He Thought)

After weeks of battling monsters, hunger, and his own stupidity, Kulastog and Rei finally arrive at Snowdrift Village—a peaceful town at the base of the snowy mountains.

The moment they step in…

🌨️ A gust of icy wind SLAPS them in the face.

Kulastog: "AHHH! IT’S SO COLD!!" 🥶

Rei: "Bro, it's called Snowdrift Village. What did you expect? A tropical beach?"

Kulastog: "YES! AT LEAST A LITTLE SUN!"

❄️ A passing villager gives them a weird look before casually walking away.

The Struggle of a Poor Hero

Snowdrift Village is bustling with activity. People in warm coats stroll the cobblestone streets, while cozy taverns glow with golden light. The smell of roasted meat drifts through the air.

🥩 Kulastog’s stomach growls like a beast.

Kulastog: "FINALLY! A PLACE WITH REAL FOOD!"

Rei: "You say that like you weren’t just eating grilled rats last week."

Kulastog: "DON’T BRING THAT UP."

They enter the fanciest-looking tavern in town. Inside, a fireplace crackles, people laugh, and a bard strums a tune.

Kulastog: "Ahh, luxury. One meal, please!"

🍖 Waiter: "That’ll be five gold."

Kulastog: "…I’m sorry, WHAT?"

Rei: "Yeah, this place is expensive."

Kulastog: "BRO, WE’RE BROKE!"

Rei: "Then get a job."

Kulastog: "ME?! WORK?! I’M A HERO!"

Rei: "A hero with zero money."

Kulastog’s Job Hunt: A Series of Disasters

🏗️ Job 1: Construction Worker

👷‍♂️ Foreman: "Just stack these bricks, got it?"

🧱 Kulastog confidently lifts five bricks at once.

Kulastog: "Pfft, easy—"

💥 TRIPS ON A PEBBLE.

🏗️ ENTIRE WALL COLLAPSES.

👷‍♂️ Foreman: "YOU DROPPED A WHOLE WALL?!"

🏃‍♂️ (Kulastog runs away before he has to pay for damages.)

🍜 Job 2: Noodle Shop Helper

👩‍🍳 Chef: "Just deliver this bowl to Table 5."

😏 Kulastog confidently carries the bowl.

👀 Then he sees a bowl of EXTRA SPICY RAMEN.

🌶️ Kulastog: "…No one will notice if I just taste a little, right?"

🥄 Takes a small sip.

🔥 IMMEDIATE REGRET.

🔥 (Face turns red, steam shoots out of his ears, chugs an entire bucket of water.)

👩‍🍳 Chef: "DID YOU JUST EAT THE CUSTOMER’S ORDER?!"

🚪 (Kicked out instantly.)

🐴 Job 3: Stable Cleaner

💩 Task: Clean horse poop.

Kulastog: "...Nope. I quit. I’d rather fight dragons."

Kulastog’s Ultimate Money-Making Scheme

Rei: "So? Got a job?"

Kulastog: "No… BUT I GOT SOMETHING BETTER." 😏

🪧 He holds up a handmade sign:

"CHALLENGE THE GREAT KULASTOG! WIN GOLD IF YOU DEFEAT ME!"

Rei: "You're literally just starting a street fight club."

Kulastog: "NO, I’M TESTING MY SKILLS AND EARNING MONEY!"

Rei: "You mean getting punched for cash?"

Kulastog: "…Yes."

The next morning…

🌅 Kulastog wakes up feeling sore.

😡 Kulastog: "STUPID KID. I CAN'T BELIEVE I LOST TO A 10-YEAR-OLD."

💰 He checks his money pouch…

👀 IT’S EMPTY.

Rei: "Oh yeah, by the way, I used your money to buy breakfast."

🔥 Kulastog: "YOU WHAT?!"

Episode 14: "The Ultimate Training Plan! (That Will Probably Fail…)"

Kulastog’s Ego Is in Danger!

After getting absolutely DESTROYED by a 10-year-old in a public match, Kulastog is left questioning his entire existence.

Kulastog: "HOW AM I THIS WEAK?! I’M SUPPOSED TO BE THE PROTAGONIST!"

Rei: "Yeah… but like… you're kinda built like a side character."

Kulastog: "SHUT UP!"

Rei: "Facts don’t care about your feelings, bro."

Determined to reclaim his honor, dignity, and ability to walk the streets without people laughing at him, Kulastog decides it's time for...

💥 THE ULTIMATE TRAINING PLAN! 💥

🔥 Step 1: Strength Training! (Or... Just Pain.)

💪 Kulastog vs. Push-ups

Kulastog: "I’ll do 100 push-ups a day! That’s how the strong guys train!"

Push-up #1 – Arms trembling.

Push-up #2 – Sweating like crazy.

Push-up #3 – Collapses.

Kulastog: "I THINK I PULLED A MUSCLE!" 😫

Rei: "Bro, you did three."

Kulastog: "WHY IS GRAVITY SO HEAVY?!"

🏋️ Kulastog vs. Lifting Weights

Kulastog: "Time to bulk up!" 💪

Picks up a rock the size of a watermelon.

🪨 Rock doesn’t move.

Kulastog: "...I think this rock is cursed."

Rei: "Or maybe you have the muscle strength of a noodle."

Kulastog: "OKAY, PLAN B!"

🏃‍♂️ Step 2: Speed Training! (Or Just Running for His Life)

Rei: "If you want to get faster, you need motivation."

Kulastog: "Like what?"

😈 Rei casually releases a pack of stray dogs.

🐕🐕🐕 ANGRY DOGS CHARGE AT KULASTOG.

Kulastog: "WAIT WHAT THE—"

🏃‍♂️💨 Kulastog RUNS FOR HIS LIFE.

Rei: "See? Now you’re fast."

Kulastog: "I’M GONNA KILL YOU WHEN I STOP SCREAMING!"

⚔️ Step 3: Reflex Training! (Aka. Snowball Torture)

Rei: "Alright, dodge this."

❄️ Throws a snowball at Kulastog.

💨 Kulastog expertly dodges.

Kulastog: "HA! EASY!" 😎

💥 (Gets hit in the face by a second snowball.)

Rei: "You really thought I’d throw just one?"

Kulastog: "I SWEAR, REI—"

🍖 Step 4: Stamina Training (aka. STARVATION?!)

Rei: "Training your endurance is key. So, no food for three days."

Kulastog: "WHAT KIND OF TRAINING IS THIS?!"

Rei: "It builds discipline."

Kulastog: "I’M GONNA DIE BEFORE I GET STRONG!"

🥩 A villager walks by with grilled meat.

🌭 Another holds a warm loaf of bread.

Kulastog: (Drooling) "EVERYTHING LOOKS SO DELICIOUS…"

🧠 Step 5: Mental Training (But It’s Just Annoying)

Rei: "You also need to strengthen your mind."

Kulastog: "How do I do that?"

Rei: "I’ll insult you repeatedly, and you can’t get mad."

Kulastog: "That sounds dumb."

Rei: "You have zero combat skills."

Kulastog: "...Hmph, I can handle that."

Rei: "Your punches feel like a gentle breeze."

Kulastog: "Pfft, whatever."

Rei: "You got beat by a 10-year-old in public."

Kulastog: "OKAY, THAT’S IT! FIGHT ME RIGHT NOW!"

🌟 Step 6: The Final Test – 1v1 vs. Rei!

Rei: "Alright, let’s see if you improved. Come at me."

💥 Kulastog dashes forward!

🎯 He swings a punch!

Rei: (Casually dodges.)

Kulastog: "WHY ARE YOU SO FAST?!"

💥 Rei taps Kulastog’s forehead.

💨 Kulastog FLIES BACK 10 FEET.

Kulastog: "I HATE THIS TRAINING!"

Rei: "Hey, at least you lasted longer than usual!"

Kulastog: "...HOW IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE ENCOURAGING?!"

🔥 TO BE CONTINUED IN EPISODE 15! 🔥
