The Greatest Glutton

Fannum, an orphan boy abandoned by his parents, left to die in the streets. Starving, thirsty and bleeding out from a recent mugging. He begins to question why he was born. "Why? What was the point of me being born, was it so I could die like this?" 'No! I don't accept this! I won't accept this!' 'I will become strong and devour everything!' That was the fated day that the greatest Glutton awoke. The destroyer of all. PS: Not my image.

Gluttonous After Math

"Yawn" Fannum awoke from his nights sleep and it was now day time. From what Fannum could see it was at least early morning by this point.

"Hmm so I slept through the night huh? Makes sense though, I am hurt and I was very tired at the time."

As Fannum uttered those words he looked down to his abdomen, he was looking for the knife wound. Fannum knew that he had not taken care of the wound before falling asleep, so even though the wound was partially healed, it could still get infected.

"Huh? It's gone? All of that healed in one night? Now that I think about it, that bastard speaking of Gluttony and power definitely did something to me. That's the only explanation for the tremendous amount of pain that I felt yesterday. But what was it what did he do ?!"

As Fannum tried to think back to yesterday and the events that took place, he started to get a headache. He ignored it at first but the headache soon became pounding and Fannum began to groan in pain.

'Argh, what the hell is this? My head is killing me!' Fannum thought as he started to crouch and grab his head. As the pain got even worse Fannum was about to start screaming. But suddenly the pain stopped.

"Huff huff..... what the FUCK was tha-"

Before Fannum could finish his sentence he had a plethora of memories and messages enter his head.

"Huh, so I have absorbed the power of gluttony. This is what helped me heal, but the bastard didn't explain much."

From the memories and messages left to him by the bastard, Fannum surmised that he was given the power of gluttony. A sinful power that allowed him to consume and absorb anything he was as strong as, or stronger then. Whether the target was organic or not, Fannum could consume it to turn it into his own energy.

Fannum was also able to discern that the "Bastard" was the previous wielder of the power of gluttony, though he was an not a perfect vessel for the power. And so after the power of gluttony nearly destroyed his whole body because of his incompatibility, he went searching for a new vessel, a perfect vessel.

"So, I guess I was the perfect vessel that the bastard was looking for."

Suddenly, Fannums abyss like eyes became cold, cold enough to chill the world. And his face became expressionless, almost like he had lost his emotions.

"With this power I can do it, I can destroy it all." Fannum proclaimed, he started to think about how he would proceed with his endeavor.

Knock Knock Knock

'Hmm who could it be? It's most likely trouble, seeing as I've never had visitors. Well with this ability, as long as I beat it bad enough, I can absorb it and turn it into my nourishment.' Fannum thought, amused.

"Open up bastard, we know You're in there!"

A big burly man in his thirties. yelled outside of Fannums hut. He was directed by his boss to come to this hut and charge the owner protection fees. His boss was a powerful crime lord in the slums, and he charged everyone in the slums who owned some sort of housing.

As the man was about to knock again and use all his strength this time, the door swung inwardly open.

"Huh? A kid?!"
