3 Mission

He ravaged all the snacks and food at his room. Nothing was left behind and everything went back into his stomach. Miraculously, fat started to grow back on his body. Hugh didn't notice this as his thirst and hunger for food only became stronger as he ate.

He subconsciously went down into the first floor and ate all the food at the refrigerator. Nothing was spared, not even uncooked food. He ate raw chicken, and even raw beef. Blood was spilling down his mouth as he didn't even have time to chew his nourishment.

With all the food gone at the fridge, Hugh's hunger still persisted. He had to do something. Without even thinking, he went to the floor and started eating the wood on it. It was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life. It was like a new door had opened on him and all the possibilities became endless.

Only when the wooden floor was totally scraped off was Hugh finally starting to feel satisfied. He no longer felt hungry and he was back at his old fat self. He was finally starting to think clearly until he had a thought. What if he ate the marble flooring? How good would that taste?

His curiosity got the best of him and he relented on his wish. He started mowing down on the marble floor. It was too hard for his teeth, so he ground the marble into powder until he could have a taste. After having that taste, he could never go back to normal food. This was heaven.

As he ground the marble with his teeth, it unknowingly became stronger and stronger until Hugh could take a bite off the stone. He didn't dare to bypass chewing this time and savored the sweet, tasty, and refreshing texture of the marble flooring.

After peeling off the flooring, Hugh just laid on the floor exhausted. He was panting as hard as he could as his chest heaved up and down. He was tired, but there was a smile on his face. He finally felt satisfied. He realized now that those junk foods that he ate before were nothing but a waste. Those had never fulfilled him truly.

He just slept right there on the floor with a smile on his face. He didn't know how he got this Desire or what power he had but that's not the most important part. The best part of this was his life would change. For the better or for the worse, Hugh didn't know but he was excited.

Hugh was woken up by a notification popping up in his head. He tried to ignore it but there was a sliver of light coming off the window and was assaulting his closed eyes. He waved his head left and right trying to avoid the light but it was persistent.

He wanted to get back to sleep but something clicked in his mind. The memories from last night suddenly surged in his mind and he quickly opened his eyes. Adrenaline started to cycle through his body and a wide grin started to form in his mouth.

He thought back to the notification in his mind and it magically appeared back in his head. He couldn't see it, but he knew the contents of the notification like it was the back of his hand.

His teeth was showing while he had a wide grin. The events that happened last night wasn't a dream! If the notification was correct, then he had unlocked his Desire. He pushed himself off the ground and he saw the aftermath of his gluttonous disaster.

Thank god his parents weren't around or else he would have a lot of explaining to do. He carefully maneuvered around the eaten parts of the staircase as he went into his room. Today would be the day that he enrolls in the Wolrath Academy. He was currently enrolled on the Support Department because he had no Desire when he had enrolled. Even if he tried to enroll in the Main Department, he wouldn't be able to afford it. It was only thanks to the scholarship that Hugh was even allowed to enroll in Wolrath Academy.

He ignored the plastic trash in the floor from all the food he ate here last night. He went straight to his cabinet. As he opened it, the white and black uniform immediately caught his eyes. It was neatly cleaned and ironed, as well as the 5 other uniforms at the back.

He carefully took out the uniform and put it on with great care not to crease it. This was especially made for his size and it fit perfectly. He looked the best that he could in order to make a good impression.

He was so excited he forgot about the daily missions. He didn't know how to even start. How would he go about eating 10 different kinds of wood and metals? The calories part was easy because he was already doing that before.

He had to search the internet where to find those sorts of things. He got on his personal computer and typed in 'where to find different kinds of woods'. The search results gave him all kinds of stores selling some materials for forging weapons. The problem here was that they were too expensive. He couldn't even buy the lowest quality of Krater wood that was exported from planet Braxton. This was the most troublesome mission he had. Metals could be seen everywhere in the streets and scraps were on most garbages.

Come to think of it, Hugh has never heard of a Desire being unlocked naturally. That was the whole reason there was a big divide between the rich and the poor. Even if you had an F-class rating, if you have enough money you could definitely buy a more effective pill to bring out your Desire. He clicked on another tab and searched for 'Desire unlocked without Desire pills.'

The search brought up various results, most of which were click-bait and had no substantial evidence to back them up. Whenever he would click on an article, it would have a shady button that said 'Magically unlock your Desire with this one trick' or 'Desire Pill makers hate how this guy doesn't need them'.

Hugh knew it was useless to search through normal means. Thankfully, he knew how to code and how to bypass normal firewalls. He had access to the dark web. He usually didn't frequent these types of websites but this time he really needed more information about his situation.

He searched the same question in the dark web and came up with some promising results. There were different classified information about the CDA and their movements throughout history. After reading a wall of text, a sentence caught his attention.

'The year XX40, the CDA heard rumors about a person unlocking their desire without any external help. Shortly after, the suspected person disappeared without any trace never to be heard of again.'

The text was so short that Hugh would have missed it if he had blinked at a wrong time. This short sentence had a big impact in Hugh's psyche. If this was true, he was in a dangerous position. Before this, he even had thoughts of showing off in public and try to enroll in the Main Department but now...

Hugh slacked back in his chair and inhaled a big breath. He had to be careful in showing his real strength. It may be a shame that he couldn't display his power but hiding his power wasn't without merits. If he was in a dangerous position, he could use his Desire as a trump card and survive.

Hugh calmed himself down. He nodded his head once, indicating that he was confident on what to do now. But first things first, he had to complete his daily missions. Completing a mission will always lead to benefits that he could use.

For now, he had to be resourceful. He looked around his room in search for any metallic objects and found some on his desk. The main legs were made of some metal that had a shiny tint to it. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he remembered the logistics of this action. How can he even bite a metal?

He might damage his teeth but he had to at least try to bite it. Hugh opened his mouth wide and gently bit on the metal leg of the desk. It was a hard surface and Hugh was sure he couldn't just tear through it. He released his jaw and looked at the result on the metal. Surprisingly, there was a tiny dent to it, like a bite mark. Precisely his bite mark. This was possible. He could eat this piece of metal but it would take a lot of time. Thankfully, he had all day.
