I am an immortal warlock who love to collect certain things. I can read minds and I also have this tendency to go for the one thing people always and truly wants. I want to exploit them in front of my victims until they will even vomit to the thought that they actually liked that thing. I only appear in front of those who need my help and my collected items.
Melvin is a kid that was being bullied by his classmates yesterday at the back of their school. They are forcing him to give them his lunch money while assaulting him physically. He ended up giving them what they want and slowly walked to his house. Turns out that was an everyday scene behind their school. Bullies ganging up a small thin nerd.
I am intrigued by what could I obtain from this situation. I think I can make him exchange his soul for the power to his bullies stop. Or like I can make him strong and then come back 20 years after to make him my new host.
Next day, I waited after his bullies exhort him of his money and beat the pulp out of him. As he slowly walks towards the road, I summoned the door to my shop. He immediately noticed it and was compelled to take a peek inside. I just need to touch his hand to read his deepest and darkest desires. I slowly approached Melvin from behind and then whispers into his ear.
“I have the tools to give you the life you always wanted. Take my hand and open your mind for me.”
He turned around and then reached for my hands. I can see that he was desperate because of the tears coming out of his swollen eyes. As I reach into his hand, I saw a vision of the man who started all the bullying. I saw his memories and he openly shared it to me.
He was once a cheerful child until he saw this guy. He had like him and confessed about his feelings to soon. Only to find out that he’s a homophobe, then the rumors spreads across the whole school. Everyone shamed him for being a gay so young. It didn’t even help when his parents know since his father doesn’t want a faggot for a son. I tried to see the face of the guy but I was not able to since he was repressing his memory of that guy.
I broke our bond and went behind the counter. I took out gold ring from my jewelry box. I called him and he slowly approached the counter.
“Wear this gold ring and think about how you want someone to see you. It will give you the power to impose your ideas into that person making them a puppet of your will. A ring will manifest depending on its purpose and you will give it to that person. Do you understand?” I asked.
He nodded and take the gold ring. He put it into his finger and it adjusts to his size. I hold his hand and turn his palm up.
“Now think of that someone and put your feelings into it.” I said.
He closed his eyes and did what I said. A chain silver ring with a name “Joshua” written at the back. He opened his eyes and was surprised to see that it worked.
“Wow! I never thought it will actually work! All I have to do is to give it to him then?” He asked with a gleeful smile.
“Yes. Now remember, you can make as many rings as you can but it will take a part of your own soul to make this ring. I warned him as I hide my true intention behind my concerned look.
"Yes! Absolutely! How much should I pay?” He asked.
“You don’t need to. I saw those guys beat you up every day and take your money so I know that you don’t have any money now. Maybe I will just come by again when I need your payment.” I said.
“OMG thanks! Sure you can just come by then. I will try to see if I still have my piggy bank money and I will give it to you tomorrow.” Melvin said.
“Sure thing child. Now, you have things to set up right. Okay? Have fun!” I said as he excited went for the door.
“Oh I’m sorry mister I didn’t get your name?” He asked.
“Just call me Mr. Lim.” I replied.
“See you tomorrow, Mr. Lim!” He waved goodbye.
I looked at him as he crossed the streets and run start back to their school. It will be fun watching him from the ring as he uses his own soul to convert those guys into my puppet. I guess the next 100 years will not be boring after all.
