The Fat God System

Hugh could feel the strong winds blow past his face as the eagle continued to soar through the skies. It tried to throw Hugh off, but Hugh had a tight grip on its body and would not let go.

He already knew where the eagle would go, so he just bided his time and stored his energy. The eagle seemed annoyed at Hugh, but he just slapped the eagle's body to try and make it go faster.

After a few hours of traveling in the air, they finally saw the giant tree in their sights. Hugh mentally prepared himself to for the fight that was about to happen.

Hugh kept his eyes open on the tree to see if any more eagles were flying around. The last time he was here, he was cornered by four eagles that were hell-bent on killing him.

Thankfully, there does not seem to be any sign of the eagles in the vicinity. This time, Hugh did not immediately kill the eagle and let it land on the tree by itself.

He knew that it was risky to try and kill the eagle in mid-air because the eagle could crash land on the floor, which would kill him.

He was lucky last time because the eagle that he killed landed on the tree. The eagle flew through the air and hovered around a large branch of the tree.

Hugh looked around and saw no signs of any eagles nearby, which gave him relief. As the eagle was about to land on the branch, Hugh decided to take this opportunity to kill the eagle.

With his armored hand, he pierced through the eagle's body and took out a large portion of its meat.

*KIAAAOOOO!!*

The eagle screamed as it felt a sharp pain on its back. It knew that Hugh was trying to kill it, so the eagle was alarmed.

Hugh continued to pierce deeper into the eagle's body to try and instantly kill it. If he were to find the eagle's heart, he could kill it without any problem.

Because he was on top of the eagle, the eagle could not do anything to him except flail around in the air. Hugh was not thrown off because his hand was lodged inside the eagle's body while blood spurted from its injury.

The eagle was screaming in pain and could not take it anymore. It flapped its wings and flew towards a vertical branch at full speed.

It intended to hit its own body to the branch and hopefully squish Hugh's body. It did not care if it would be injured because Hugh would deal more damage to its body if left alone.

Hugh was piercing through the eagle's body as fast as he could, but it was not fast enough. He saw the eagle fly towards the branch at full speed, and he knew what the eagle wanted to do.

Hugh had no choice but to take the hit and hope that he would survive the damage. He activated his armor on his back and protected it from the collision.

*BOOM*

Hugh felt the oxygen leave his body as his chest was crushed from the collision. He had protected himself with his armor, but he could not cover every part of his body.

He felt the crushing pain and was forced to let go of his grip on the eagle. He slid down and fell to the branch while the eagle flew in the skies.

*COUGH*

Hugh coughed as hard as he could to regain the oxygen in his body. He was too preoccupied with it that he did not see the eagle fly towards him with its beak in tow.

As Hugh was coughing, he felt the cold wind in his neck, and his hairs stood on end. The flapping of the wings gave away its identity, so Hugh dodged away.

The eagle dove down towards Hugh, but Hugh was able to dodge it. It was still injured, so its speed was lessened from the pain it was feeling.

The eagle tried to fly back up, but its downward momentum was too strong for its current strength. The eagle that had missed its attack on Hugh skidded on the ground while bleeding from its back.

Hugh stopped rolling on the ground and saw the eagle in his sights. This was the only time he would be able to fight the eagle head-on, or else it would fly away, so Hugh rushed towards it.

The eagle was trying to pick itself back up, but it kept tumbling in the ground. Hugh had done a great deal of damage by injuring its body, so it could only watch as Hugh run up towards it.

Hugh's body ached, but he ignored it as he ran towards the eagle with his armor activated on his fist. With his momentum, Hugh punched through the eagle's injury and damaged it even further.

*KIAAOOOO!!!*

It screamed in pain once more, so Hugh knew that it was on its last leg. Hugh grabbed a large chunk of its meat and tore it away from its body.

The eagle's blood spurted on his face, but he did not care as he continued to kill the eagle.

The eagle tried to peck Hugh to get him to stop, but Hugh used his armor to defend himself from the sharp beaks. As a last resort, the eagle tried to flap its wings and fly away, but Hugh anchored himself on the ground and did not let the eagle fly away.

If the eagle were at full strength, Hugh would not be able to prevent it from flying away, but it was about to die from its injuries, so it did not have enough strength.

Hugh would dodge away from the flailing body of the eagle and attack its vulnerable injuries when he could. It became easier and easier as the eagle started to lose strength, and it could not move anymore.

With its final strength, it tried to pierce its beak towards Hugh, but he could block it with his armored hand. The eagle's head fell helplessly on the ground as its heart stopped beating.

Hugh panted as he saw the fight finally over. He had sustained some minor injuries during the battle, but he was able to kill the eagle.

He plopped on the ground and regained his breathing to its normal state. He was sweating all over, but he felt good.

He no longer had to worry about his armor because he could now use it for ten seconds. He looked at the carcass of the eagle and decided to eat it now.

If he were to leave it here, the smell would have attracted more eagles in the tree. He did not want to fight another flock of eagles while he was still recovering.

He could only win against one eagle, so he had no chance against a flock of eagles. Hugh picked himself back up and started to munch on the eagle.

He tore apart the eagle's insides and devoured it like it was a regular meal. Blood dripped from his mouth as he enjoyed the delicacy that is the giant eagle's meat.

The skin and the feathers were no exception to his craving as he picked them off and ate them as a dessert.

As he was enjoying his meal, he heard the low rumble of wings flapping in the distance. He stopped eating the eagle and looked around with wary eyes.

He recognized those flapping wings as the same ones that the eagle made. He had a bad feeling in his gut as he saw four eagles reveal themselves from a distance.

There was one eagle among the four that showed up that was the largest among all of them. Hugh recognized it to be the same one that had forced him to bury himself in the wood.

Their wings were beating, displacing wind downwards, and created a cool breeze. Hugh gulped the eagle meat in his mouth and readied to take out his armor.

In the middle of all this tension, Hugh felt a feeling in his body.

*yawn*

This yawn only meant one thing; it was nearing the end of the day.

He had no time to deal with four eagles at once because he had to finish his daily missions for today. He still had to eat thousands of kilograms of wood to get a reward, so he had to escape the eagles.

He did not tarry any longer and activated his armor on his fist. He pierced through the wooden floor and started to dig down as fast as he could.

With his ten-second armor, Hugh was able to dig down far enough to escape the eagles' diving beaks outside.

Hugh did not stop there as he continued to dig through the wood and eat it. The tree's wood was like red meat in his mouth as it tasted as good as it looked.

He did not know how long he had been digging around, but he knew that he had eaten a lot of wood in the meantime.

Hugh created a tiny room in the tree by carving the wood until he could lay in it. His eyes were heavy, and he wanted to sleep, but before his eyes fully closed, he heard a notification in his head.

'DAILY MISSIONS COMPLETE!'

'Armor upgraded.'
