The Fat God System

With one week of preparation, Hugh and his classmates continue to train hard for the coming excursion. The classes continued, and all they talked about was the things they were going to accomplish in the excursion.

"Hugh, why don't we train together?" Serena said. She faced Hugh with her hands behind her back.

Hugh looked at her with a confused expression. He did not think that she was serious. As far as Hugh knew, Serena was the type of person that valued her social presence in the group.

Being around an outcast like him was certainly not in Serena's favor, hence Hugh's confusion.

"No, I'm fine," Hugh replied. He continued to walk back to his house after classes had been over.

However, Serena walked in front of him and prevented chin from escaping away from her. "Come on!"

Hugh sighed as he stopped in his tracks. He did not want to argue with her, so he just decided to go along with Serena's whims.

"Why should I do that?" Hugh asked.

"Well, it's weird for an engaged couple not to spend time together, right?" Serena said. She looked up at Hugh like she was trying to get something out of him.

"We're not an engaged couple. I never agreed to that," Hugh stated as he sidestepped Serena and continued to walk his way back to his house.

"Come on! Help me out here!" Serena shouted as she caught up to him.

However, Hugh continued to walk away, ignoring Serena's plead. He did not have anything to gain from helping Serena. It will only worsen Hugh's situation.

He was still getting weird looks inside and outside the classroom due to being Serena's fiancé. Even after he tried to explain, he would have just been labeled a liar.

"Fine, fine, fine! You help me out, I will help you out." Serena said. "Whatever you want, I'll give it to you as long as it is reasonable."

Hugh stopped in his tracks as he heard Serena's offer. It was tempting to say the least since he had not eaten a single high-quality food since he did not have enough points to buy it.

"You sure about that? I'm willing to consider your offer." Hugh said.

"Yeah. As long as you also obey my requests. For example, accompanying me to some party or ball as my fiancé." Serena replied. She had a sense of pride in her wealth that she used to attract Hugh's attention.

After a minute of thinking, Hugh sighed and faced Serena. "Fine, I'll agree."

"Good!" Serena exclaimed. "I'll send you the contract later. Make sure to sign it, okay?"

"Yes, yes," Hugh replied as he turned around and walked away.

As Hugh was walking away, he did think more about Serena's offer. He was pretty excited about it since he could abuse it to satiate his never-ending hunter.

Who knows, maybe it will make him improve his strength. He needed it right now since they were about to go to another dungeon.

The days passed, and it was finally the day for the incursion. Everyone gathered in the classroom fully prepared.

Some of the students wore elaborate and sturdy armor to protect themselves. Some of them had full backpacks containing survival kits.

Even though it was dangerous, it was clear in everyone's eyes that they were more than excited.

Hugh and Aric were the only students who did not have anything prepared for the excursion. Aric had no memories, so he did not know where to get such supplies.

"Look at Aric! He did not bring anything."

"That's Aric your taking about. He just needs to bring himself."

"That's right, I forgot. What about fatty?"

Hugh did not bring anything on the outside, but he fully prepared himself anyway. He used his inner storage to pack some materials that he got from Serena a few days back.

The door opened and in came Dempsy. He still had the same sharp look that he had, but there was one thing that was very different with him.

Instead of the grayish-white hair, he now had fiery red hair. Dempsy walked into the room and gathered looks from both men and women.

"That's Dempsy, right?"

"Yeah, he hasn't been inside the classroom in a long time."

"I'm surprised that he is still enrolled. Normal people should have been expelled already for not attending classes."

Dempsey walked around the room until he found Hugh. "I'm a part of your group, right?"

Hugh nodded.

"Good. Just don't get in my way." Dempsy said as he walked away from Hugh and sat in his seat.

Hugh saw that Dempsy had low energy for the day. It seemed that Dempsy was feeling down right now since Dempsy usually picks a fight with Hugh.

"Gather around, kids. It's time that we depart from this classroom and finally, enter into the real world." Professor Kain said as he addressed the whole room.

He led the whole class out of the room and let them into the shifting room. In there, he used the control panel and put in the coordinates for the dungeon that the students will traverse.

"The last caution for you all," the professor said. "You can do anything in the dungeon, but beware of the consequences."

The students got giddier and giddier as the time came close. They did not know where they would be sent to, but they were more than excited as their hearts beat a thousand times per second.

Finally, Professor Kain raised his hand and brought it down to the control panel to touch the final button. However, he stopped his finger right before it hit the panel.

"You will all be brought back here after one month. Don't fogey to enjoy yourselves, and good luck!" professor Kain said as he touched the button and the whole class disappeared.

As soon as the button was pushed, everybody felt their whole bodies become weightless. Then, a flash of bright light blinded their eyes so they were forced to close their eyes.

As soon as they opened their eyes, they saw a whole different world out there. They were no longer in the unnerving shifting room full of mirrors but were now in a small town.

Contrary to Hugh's expectations, the dungeon looked like it was a normal world. The whole class stood in the middle of the town square as people passed by them.

They all wondered around, surprised by the level of civilization in a dungeon. Since this dungeon was conquered, humans erected towns and cities for better life quality.

The groups quickly dispersed as they saw the tourist spots of the city. Some of them decided to explore the place first.

The different groups of the class had different strategies for this excursion. Some decided to seek out the adventurer's guild, some sought out the inns, and some decided to use this day as a vacation.

Hugh's group was the only ones who were left in the town square. They did not have any particular plan since they never talked about it.

"What do we do now?" Serena asked. She looked around the town, but she did not find anything particularly good about it. She was used to a life of a princess, so this was a different life.

"Let's look around the town first?" Jane said. She was the one who was the most studious person in their group, so she was very convincing.

She also knew that there were hidden rubrics for the excursion. Since professor Kain did not give them any mission, Jane guessed that the students were the ones supposed to find it out.

As they walked around the town, they could see that it was mostly made of stone. It made the town look archaic, but there was electricity connected all around.

"Where are you going?" Jane asked. Hugh turned around to see that Jane was speaking to Dempsy.

"None of your business," Dempsy replied.

"It is our business. We are supposed to stay together as a group!" Serena complained. She seemed to be very irritated at Dempsy's attitude.

"Tsk." Dempsy said as he continued to walk away from Hugh and his group.

Serena stomped the ground as she saw Dempsy rebelling in her words. She then turned towards Hugh and glared at him.

"What do you want me to do? I can't control him!" Hugh replied.

"Whatever, let's just follow him for now," Aric said as he put his hands on the back of his head and followed Dempsy.

Hugh also did not have any objections to this, so he followed them. Serena, on the other hand, was offended that Hugh took Dempsy's side over hers.

Jane tapped Serena's back as she followed Hugh. "You can't win against those guys."

Serena bit her lips in frustration. "That's why it's more irritating," she said as she gave in and followed them. "Wait for me!"

Aric chased Dempsy and walked right next to him. "Will you help me kill somebody?" Aric asked.
