The Fat God System

Chapter 81: Fly

The hunger in his stomach continued to grow, but he could not eat the things he wanted to eat. He was conflicted, and there was nothing to eat here in the dark dome.

Then, Hugh's eyes scanned over the three giant creatures in front of him. As soon as he locked eyes with the beasts, he could not look away from them.

It was as if the three creatures were enticing him to eat them. He walked step by step towards the three creatures he had eaten multiple times before.

He did not stop looking at the creatures as he got near them. It was as if he was in a trance, and he could not see anything as delicious as these three creatures.

All he wanted to do was take a bite out of the creatures to see if it satisfied his hunger. He stepped forward and opened his jaws wide.

He randomly chose the creature in the middle, the eagle, as his meal. He did not know what would happen, but he did not care. All he wanted to do was consume the eagle in front of him.

He took a bite, and the meat immediately liquified in his mouth. He was a little bit disappointed that he could not taste the firm steak of the eagle's flesh, but he continued to eat the eagle.

As he took another bite out of the eagle, his teeth bit on nothing. Hugh looked at the eagle and saw that it had disappeared from his sight.

He looked to his left and right and did not see the two other creatures from before. Before he could think about what had happened, he felt a strange feeling in his stomach.

It started to hurt and constrict as if something was twisting it from the inside. Hugh could not help but fall to his knees as he held his stomach with his hands.

He closed his eyes, and his face contorted as he tried to endure the pain from his stomach. Then, he felt his stomach increase in size as if it were going to blow up.

It was not just his stomach, but his whole body increased multiple sizes. His chest got wider, and his head changed into a different shape.

The only thing that had decreased in size was his arms and legs.

His arms turned into a slender stick-like shape and grew vertical ligaments from his arms. His feet became very thin, and his toes seemed to fuse until there were only four narrow and long toes on his skinny leg.

His body continued to distort into a strange shape, giving Hugh an unprecedented amount of pain that he could not endure.

His bones broke and reformed at supernatural speeds, which gave him a horror that he would not wish upon his greatest enemy.

The only pain that was the same as the one he had right now was when he had transformed for the first time. He could not even shout in pain as even his vocal cords were mutating.

He closed his eyes and hoped that the pains hold stop, but they only continued to grow. He could not see what he had become like, but he knew that it a very different shape than an average human.

He felt a tingly sensation from his skin, and then it turned into a prickling pain as if a million needles had pierced his skin.

His hairs stood on end, even though he was sure that he had no hair left on his strange body. Then, those prickling pain grew into a larger size, but it diminished over time.

If Hugh could see himself right now, he would know that he was covered in brown feathers, and he was triple his size. He would see that his arms had turned into the bones and ligaments of his wings.

He had turned into the thing that he had beaten countless times before. He had become the creature that led him to the giant tree in the first place, the Caterpillar-Eating Bald Eagle.

After the pain came a relief that washed over his whole body, it was as if he was reborn again, and his energy soared up to the skies.

He could not help but stretch his whole body and stand up as if he was on top of the world. His wings unfurled, and he opened his eyes to the reality that befell him.

His vision was so accurate that he had trouble adjusting to it. He could see the minute details on the ground, the smallest pebble from across the room.

He looked at his whole body and saw his feathery exterior and his tall height. He tried to touch his body with his arms but saw that it had become wings, similar to the giant eagle.

It only took a second for him to realize that he had transformed into the giant eagle. It was hard to believe at first, but he had already transformed before, so he quickly adapted to the new situation.

He did not know that it was possible to transform into an eagle, is he was speechless. The first thing that he wanted to try out with this new transformation was flying like any man would do.

He gathered all the strength in his arms and flapped it. Immediately, he soared up in the air and felt the freedom only a select few could experience.

It seemed that he could not control himself as he soon reached the ceiling of the dome. His beak pierced the roof and hit his head on the soil.

*KIAOOO!*

Hugh screeched in pain, making his sounds like a normal eagle. He had planned to say the word 'Ouch,' but his vocal cords seemed to have changed into that of an eagle, the same with every part of his body.

He fell to the ground after he collided with the ceiling. He tried to flap his wings again, but he was not able to control them properly. He would either fly too high or fly too low, which he would both end up crashing into the wall.

He did not give up trying to master the art of flying, but it seemed that he had reached his limit. After a minute of flying in the air, Hugh tried to flap his wings again but found it smaller than before.

He was in mid-air when he started to mutate back into his human form. His whole body shrunk and twisted around, but thankfully, it was not as painful as before.

The only problem was that he was still in the air. Without any wings, he would tumble into the ground.

*DUGN*

Hugh landed on the ground as he finished his mutation back to his old self. Hugh held his back in pain as he tried to position himself in a comfortable spot.

He looked at the ceiling and still saw the indentation from his beak colliding with the top. This meant that it was not a dream but a reality. He really could transform into an eagle.

Could this be the same thing as his transformation as before?

Hugh could not help but ask himself this question. He did not know if that eagle transformation was the same as his standard transformation.

That was an answer that only his Fat God System could answer, so Hugh did not expect to know this answer right now.

He sat up from lying on the ground and had a little bit of trouble getting up. His belly fat was in the way.

Huh? Belly fat?

Hugh looked at his whole body and saw that he was back at his obese form. This discovery shocked him because he would usually lose all of his fat after a transformation.

He did not feel the hunger that made him insane. He was back at his usual self without any problem. Hugh furrowed his eyebrows as he figured out that the eagle transformation was different from his standard transformation.

He did not know why they were different, but that was a useful discovery. Unlike his standard transformation, he could use the eagle transformation without punishment.

He immediately thought of a worst-case scenario where he had to use his transformation. He could transform into an eagle and fly away. Even if his enemy chased him and his eagle transformation ended, he could still use his standard transformation.

He now had a double wild card. He smiled as he felt as secure as ever before.

From all that happened, he had guessed that the three creatures he had seen before were the reason why he obtained this transformation.

Then, a small movement from the wall caught his eye. He was immediately alarmed and subconsciously widened his eyes towards the threat.

His eyes turned very round, like those of an eagle's.
