The Fat God System

Chapter 5: Fight

Hugh was led down into a shaded alley hidden near the blacksmith shop. There was nothing but garbage cans and a dead end on that alleyway. Hugh stepped backward as the big guy and Bart advances to him.

"You've nowhere to escape now."

Bart smiled menacingly and with malice as he looked down on Hugh. He spread his arms out wide and his arms transformed into a sharpened mineral. Its color was opaque white with the blades having a completely transparent color. Coupled with his ruby armor, Bart felt confident in beating up Hugh.

The big guy, Hugh just called him tank top, expanded his body and became a brick wall that prevented any exit Hugh could take. His figure could still be seen in the middle of the brick wall like he only had a camouflage.

"I've been wanting to try out my new Desire."

Bart scraped his mineral hands against each other in eagerness. Hugh just looked at Bart calmly and without fear in his eyes. If Bart looked closely, he would see that Hugh had a slight smile forming in his mouth while holding a first.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

Bart then accelerated to Hugh with his hands raised to his head. With the trajectory of his blade, Bart had every intention of fatally injuring Hugh. Seeing this, Hugh had a slight smile on his face. This was his most awaited moment of getting revenge against his oppressors. He readied himself and was just about to command his system to use his Desire when something caught his eye. At the top of the alleyway was a CCTV that had a red light indicating that it was turned on.

Hugh hesitated which caused him to forget about the current blade that was about to slash his shoulder and pierce his stomach. Adrenaline suddenly allowed him to move and try to dodge but it was already too late. Bart's left hand pierced his stomach and his right hand gashed Hugh's left shoulder.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

Hugh screamed in pain. He could feel himself losing consciousness. He didn't even want to look at his body since it would probably wear off the slight painkiller from the adrenaline. He looked at Bart with a reddish eye and ground his teeth.

Hugh's frown and clear anger contrasted Bart's face. Bart had a pleased face while he saw Hugh with a face of suffering. He didn't want to give Hugh and time for relief so he took out both of his mineral-like arms from Hugh's body which was the only thing preventing Hugh's blood from spreading out. He took it out quickly which created more gashes and cuts that made Hugh's blood spurt out. Seeing Hugh's blood on his newly bought armor, he stepped away from the falling Hugh.

Bart then saw Hugh walking towards the trash can and picking something up. It was pitiful seeing someone like this, but it also gave him so much pleasure that he couldn't help but smile menacingly.

Hugh dragged his bloody body near the trash can and looked for something and anything he could use. Fortunately, it was filled to the brim with stuff he couldn't see. He took out the uppermost trash and examined it. It was a broken phone.

With all the strength Hugh could muster, he lifted his left hand and threw the broken phone. Bart didn't even need to dodge since the phone was way above his head. Bart only shook his head left and right in disapproval.

"You just don't give-"

Before Bart could finish his sentence, he heard the sound of glass crashing behind his back. There were glass pieces scattered around the floor with the broken phone that Hugh threw. He looked up and saw that the CCTV was now broken and dysfunctional.

Before Bart could even turn around, he felt pressure on his left cheek. This force was so powerful that he launched backward and into the tank top guy who was now a wall.

Hugh was standing there in the dim light. There was smoke coming out from all over his body. Sweat came and poured from every pore in his body making his oversized clothes stick to his body. Well-defined muscles could be traced from the wet clothes that stuck to every edge of the muscle. His previous black hair now became white and covered his eyes, which made it unknown what he was thinking. The hidden injuries he had were now healing at an abnormally fast rate.

Hugh walked forward slowly, but each step had a clear resounding sound that reverberated throughout the ground. The steps were taken simultaneously, with the same duration and pause indicating carefulness and confidence. Hugh went down to Bart's level and looked at him with curiosity. He felt power. More powerful than what Bart used to critically injure him. Was Bart always this weak? Hugh could see that when he went near Bart, he flinched and backed off. Bart's eyes were fully wide open with furrowed eyebrows. Bart was afraid.

Hugh grabbed Bart's shirt and gripped it with one hand. With no strain at all, he lifted Bart till they were both standing. Without any indication, Hugh punched Bart's face with his left hand. A resounding smack filled the silence in the alleyway. A tooth covered in blood flew away and landed on the floor. He didn't stop there.

Hugh punched him in the stomach which dented the new and high-quality armor Bart wore as protection. Bart leaned forward because of the force that almost made him puke. Blood started flowing down his mouth due to the lost tooth.

Hugh then held Bart's mineral arm with his one hand and gripped it with all the strength he could muster. Veins started appearing in Hugh's arm as all the power concentrated on his hand. Crack. A single crack appeared in Bart's hand.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

Bart screamed in pain as the singular crack split into two and those cracks also split into two. It wasn't long until pieces started falling off. Hugh gave one last strong grip and the mineral shattered into pieces. Hugh could see the whites in Bart's eyes as he screamed silently. Bart's other mineral arm regressed into a human arm. Bart stared into oblivion and lightly spoke.

"plea....se...st..op."

Granting his wish, Hugh gave Bart one last punch in the head which effectively made him unconscious. The tank top guy who watched this whole ordeal was speechless. He thought he would get an easy buck if he followed this rich arrogant guy into having some fun but he didn't expect this. He wanted to run but he forgot that he was a brick wall.

Before he could even regress into his normal form, he suddenly saw Hugh right in front of him with super speed. He only blinked once and Hugh already had his fist in a punching position. The only thing he remembered after that was the pain from the gaping hole in his stomach then he fainted as he became human once again.

Hugh looked at the aftermath he had caused. He was relieved and interested in the power he now had. He could destroy other people's Desire so easily. The wound from before had now fully healed with no scars remaining. He was invincible.

"Hey!! What happened here?!?!"

A shout suddenly broke Hugh out of his stupor. He looked back at the opening of the alleyway and saw a red and blue jacket and pants. This uniform was easily recognizable in the streets or any other place. This was a survey guard from the CDA. A survey guard was at the bottom of the food chain in the CDA but part of the CDA nonetheless.

Hugh couldn't risk getting caught and interrogated by the CDA so he ran away from the scene of the crime at superhuman speeds. The survey guard was slightly taken aback by Hugh's speed but quickly took action since him running away was a clear indication of guilt.

The survey guard quickly took his hovermotor and chased after Hugh. He chased Hugh through the streets and was surprised to find that he could not deplete the distance from Hugh even though he was on the hovermotor.

Hugh ran for his life. He released all his strength in his legs and ran for the park. He didn't know where else to go since going back to his house would be a dead giveaway. He was surprised to find that he was so fast that a hovermotor couldn't catch him.

15 seconds later, Hugh reached the park but his mind came to a blank. How would he be able to outrun the guard here in the park? He couldn't just run around in a circle, his transformation was going to end.

He ran around the park, bypassing those who were jogging and shocking those who were relaxing on the ground. He was thinking of a solution to his problem while the guard was hot on his tail. He got a notification that made him frantically look around as he got filled with anxiety.

'5 SECONDS LEFT'

Running around, he saw something that caught his attention. It was a steel fence with barbed wires at the top. Plastered on the fence were the words 'DANGER! DO NOT GO IN!'

It was the only choice he had so he sprinted there and planted both his feet as he launched himself high up in the air enough to get over the barbed wires. He ran into the bushy forest and disappeared as his transformation came to a close.
