The Fat God System

Chapter 15: Class



Hugh walked through the stone pavement in the lawn and entered the porch. Near the door was an indentation the shape of a handprint. He placed his right hand on it and blue light shined his hand up and down and a clear bell sounded out. His door opened.

What greeted him was a well-lit marble flooring that led to a giant staircase leading up to the second floor. A chandelier made of intricately carved glass with gold plating hung up on the 5-meter tall ceiling, a little bit excessive in Hugh's eyes.

Hugh immediately ignored the decorations in the walls and pillars and went straight to the most important room of all, the kitchen. After walking through a hallway on the left, he came upon a titanium steel sink in the middle of the room that is lined with black marble. Surrounding the sink was a white-colored fridge, a black colored stove, and an oven underneath it. There were more machines in this room but he didn't know what those were for.

He walked to the fridge with footsteps echoing in the marble flooring. He opened it and a cold air welcomed him but there was nothing that caught his eye, no aroma, no salivating sweets, no fulfilling rice, no anything. It was empty.

His stomach grumbled in protest. He hasn't eaten a single thing this day and meeting with Dempsy only made him want to binge eat. He closed the door, and the refrigerator lit up. It became a touchscreen and a text appeared on it.

[WELCOME STUDENT

TO THE GROCERY

POINTS : 10,000]

Hugh's mouth was agape. This refrigerator was an iRef 7, the most sought after refrigerator in the city. Most people will call you wealthy if you have one of these in your house. This refrigerator will save a ton of time making food since it is connected wirelessly to a grocery factory which can deliver goods instantly, straight to the ref in a millisecond.

He didn't have the energy to cook something right now. He needed instant gratification as it felt like his hunger is gonna bore a hole in his stomach. He chose the meal section and debated from there.

[MEALS]

He wanted something meaty so he chose the high protein menu. Hugh smiled at the possibilities of food he can eat, the juicy medium-rare steak slathered with sauce, the sweet and sour gravy of the Szechwan shrimp, or the slow-cooked teriyaki venison. He can eat anything on the menu which will cost him 200 points for an all-you-can-eat buffet for one day.

He immediately ordered the seared tuna with salmon caviar and opened the refrigerator with sparkling eyes. The tuna came in a ceramic plate that had the Wolrath academy's insignia printed in the middle. He gobbled up his food up in a second, without using a spoon as he shoved the food down his throat.

It wasn't enough. He took advantage of the fact that it was an all-you-can-eat buffet. He didn't know how much he ate as stacks of plates littered the sink. He only regained his sanity after he received a notification in his head.

DAILY MISSION COMPLETE

Reward: Armor mutation - Clothes

++++++++++++++

He finally finished his daily missions. The reward was kind of underwhelming but he will take what he can get. He focused his mind and activated the armor mutation he received.

He opened his eyes and saw no change with himself. His clothes only felt a little bit stuffy until he realized that he was wearing a plain white t-shirt underneath his uniform. He didn't wear this before and only appeared now.

He removed his uniform and only a white t-shirt and brown shorts. He suddenly had an impulse to activate his cloth armor mutation and he closed his eyes and triggered it.

His clothes mutated and changed colors. He recognized this. This was his clothes back on his house that he accidentally ate. He suddenly had a theory about his new power and he once again closed his eyes. His clothes were changing like a living being and altered themselves to look like his uniform.

Although this was a cool and unique power, Hugh saw no real practicality to this power. What he needed right now was a constant show of power. His transformation will only be available for an hour or so. He also needed a power that was not too powerful since the transformation bypassed ranks. The problem with it is that Hugh couldn't make the excuse that he miraculously obtained a low ranking Desire pill.

The only possibility for him was to master the steel and wood armor. He looked at his arm and focused. A gray and brown liquid seeped out from his pores and formed around his forearms. Wooden muscles formed around his forearms and his skin turned silvery gray.

He punched the air and a shockwave formed in his fists. He could feel the power forming in his arms but it only lasted for a second. The liquid returned to his skin.

If he could somehow master that power, he would be able to use it as a decoy for his Desire. He knew he had to practice a lot to make it practical in a fight.

An alarm suddenly sounded out throughout his house. Hugh flinched and looked around until he saw a floating holographic sign on the corner of the room.

[CLASSES WILL START IN 10 MINUTES

PLEASE GO TO THE SHIFTING ROOM]

Hugh's heartbeat sped up. He was gonna be in a room full of talented people, full of people who will inevitably be a strong pillar of society. He didn't know how long it would take until people started to figure out that he was a fake, a sham; it was just a matter of time.

Right next to the holographic sign, there was an arrow pointing to a different hallway in the mansion. Hugh followed the signs with heavy steps, making sure his clothes were neat and tidy.

The hallway led to a door. Hugh opened it and saw a room giant room full of mirrors. It was like a giant-sized elevator and on the other end of the room was a steel door.

Hugh saw himself in the mirror, the same fat and obese self that was that initiated his insecurities. He found it ironic that the fat he once hated became his greatest power.

He opened the door at the end of the room and what greeted him was another hallway. It had square tiles made of an unknown white material. On the side were lockers that had no locks, only an indentation in the shape of a handprint.

The hallway ended in another room, which Hugh opened. What greeted him was the looks and stares of the students sitting in their chairs and chatting with each other. After looking at Hugh, they went back on to their conversations, except one. Hugh looked around the room and saw a familiar person and they locked eyes with each other. It was Aric.

Aric had the same brown hair that parted in the middle. This was a popular haircut due to the amount of idols having this kind of hair. Aric had a confused face while he looked at Hugh.

Hugh didn't think he would see his greatest enemy here in the special class. He was always the subject of humiliation due to Aric's constant insults. He was the de-facto leader of their class back in high school so everyone jumped on the bandwagon to get along with Aric.

Aric stood up with his eyebrows knitted together. He walked towards Hugh with fury, with resounding footsteps going along him. They stared at each other. Hugh didn't want to back off this time; he was a changed person. His newfound Desire allowed him to stand up for himself.

Aric's eyebrows raised, surprised at the show of rebellion. His fists balled up in anger as he readied himself to teach Hugh a lesson.

They were only 2 feet away from each other, staring each other down until the door opened and took everyone's attention. A spiky white-haired man walked through the door, walking with swag and confidence. Hugh immediately recognized him; it was Dempsy.

Dempsy walked over to Hugh and Aric as the three of them faced off against each other.
