The six fruits did not emit any scent but gave a refreshing feeling and the Ram lazily nibbled them all including the trees. 

Elias watched but he refrain from doing anything stupid.

After all that, the Ram sat and ruminated. 

Elias sighed and hugged his chest well before a wave of sleep enveloped him. A lot of things had happened. Each one was more bizarre than the other and his brain cells were just overloaded and couldn't process everything.

That should warrant a good sleep, but he was apprehensive about it.

But pondering about it he realized, this world is dangerous beyond comparison, if he stresses himself, he will be on the receiving end of mental fatigue, fear and confusion. So, he might as well rest well and ignore everything. 

Perhaps, if he is lucky, he might wake up and find himself back at home. And all this was just an elaborate nightmare.

With that encouragement, Elias put his Chest down and rested his head on it. With smiles, he does off.

The Ram stared at the strange smiling human with confusion. 

The thing that put a smile on Elias was the prospect of all the things he had been through being just an extended nightmare. And a good nap will allow him to wake up in the embrace of his beautiful wife.

Thinking of his wife, he knew it was destiny that saved him from a harsh world to a soft world just to meet her. 

He can still remember when he first met Helen. It was at the grocery shop.

She came in with her aunt to buy things after they ultimately moved to Stella Town. 

Seeing a beautiful, porcelain skin young girl, Elias felt something churn in his stomach. But what literally turned him off was the innocent face she has. She looked like those angels that no matter what you do to them, will never bite back. 

Pure and graceful.

With her gentle demeanour and soft voice, Elias was over the heel for her, giving her all unnecessary discounts even after he learned they weren't actually new to the town.

In fact, Helen was born there, she just moved to her aunt's house that lives in the city. But now they were back in the town 

Though she is his first crush, he didn't have the courage to tell her. 

Later, they met in college. That is when Elias almost fainted when she talked to him in public, asking for directions. Well, it didn't end well as he embarrassed himself due to his throat drying off and his tongue refusing to move.

Afterwards, it was jealousy that began to build up in him. Due to the boys that were chatty around her.

There was a time that he caught a guy trying to hug her when they greeted each other. Elias almost bashed his head into the concrete. Thankfully Helen side steps and shoos the guy away.

The stupid guy didn't know he escape unexpected death as Elias has planned how to make him disappear from Stella Town.

But when Elias looked at his fat self in the mirror. As Every movement he did, his meat jiggled and the life he was living in his small room which was a garage in the house of the former captain, he laughed and realized the battlefield had changed.

If he wants Helen he needs to get her the normal means. 

That was when he started planning. Not to seduce her or possess her heart, but to talk to her on the equal ground without freezing out. 

Sadly, it was a great failure.

The idiot referred to the drama he so much loves and tried to act like them. Reality is not like that and he made fun of himself in public. And most of the time he embarrassed himself, he felt like burying himself ten feet in the ground.

But every time he went home he would write his report and how far he had succeeded. 

After seeing the plan wasn't successful, he stops trying to talk to Helen, but he tries to be good around other women. 

It was as if he was born naturally.

Then he tried to get close to other pretty ladies in the neighbourhood, at school and in the grocery store he supervised. 

Elias realized he was good with them. As the conversations flow perfectly.

It was his crush on Helen that failed him.

He uses algorithms, mathematics, and statistics, to calculate his manners, psychology and attitude to come up with a single reason why he was freezing around her and how to correct that.

One thing he came up with was that he subconsciously wanted to be perfect in front of her in every bit of the way. For that, his brain short-circuited because there is no better way but to talk normally.

In the end, he stopped trying to get close to her. 

Elias found that life was hard, or was it that he didn't get used to it. Anyway, he only got the chance to talk to her normally when she was buying something from him.

It was later, he realized the thing that can make them interact with her normally was something he is very good at. 

Impersonation. He is obese, who will he impersonate with that?

The answer was the school subjects. He knows everything that was being taught. All he has to do is create a club for tutorials, or a group for self-study. Or a private lesson and invite her.

Elias' journey to becoming a great teacher began. Just to talk with his crush in a normal way!

The beautiful dream ended when Elias felt a vibration from the wand. Informing him that the next day has arrived.

Looking around Elias sighed. It wasn't a dream.

He crawled his heavy obese body to the grass and ate. Then drank from the pond and he felt satisfied. The grass should have given him three days' worth of satisfaction but, his evolution has messed up with his morphology.

The Ram was nowhere in sight and the White Chest was eerily sitting at the edge of the island. He felt compelled to move close to it, but he didn't.

Elias stood at the centre of his island looking around. A lot of things have changed. Water pond occupied one part, a giant's rock his size, at one part, then the grass was everywhere.

His two pelt were strewn around. He wished for a shirt and trousers but without proper tools, it's hard. But that wasn't what bothered him, It was his daily mission. 

He comes to realize that nothing he does will make him safe. Even the seemingly safe thing was just a disguise for something dangerous. That is why he refused to trust that White Chest.

However, Elias wasn't one of the best for nothing. He quickly composed himself and got to work. Making weapons. The crudest he can make.

He picked the rocks that seem resilient and are long or oval. Then he began to grind them against large coarse ones. Gradually he will make a dagger out of it.

Elias and the Fog Daily Mission continued to battle each other. Days pass and then weeks. The only thing that stopped Elias Island from grading up was a suitable Island to merge.

As for Elias, he was Grade 2, level 5.
