The Fat God System

"The Prestige? Where is that?"

Hugh furrowed his eyebrows. Judging from the two guards' reactions, they were planning something terrible. He had never heard of The Prestige before either, so he was skeptical.

"You don't know? That's the club in the central area."

The two guards looked at Hugh like he was an idiot. The Prestige was something that all students wanted to go. Just from its name, one could tell that it was very exclusive.

"Why should I go there?"

Hugh did not know the guards' plans for him. He was still wary of them, but he was curious about why they wanted him to go there.

"Felix is going to be there. You wanted to talk to an officer, right? Felix is the one you should talk to."

Felix? Hugh remembered that name. The two guards were snickering together under their breaths, which made it evident that they were making fun of Hugh.

Hugh guessed that this Felix guy would have an adverse reaction towards him when he approached Felix. He needed their permission, and he could not go into the Student Council building, so he had no choice but to go to The Prestige.

Hugh turned his back to the two guards as he went on his way towards the shifting room. Before he disappeared completely, the two guards shouted one last thing towards him.

"Oh, you should probably address him as Vice President *kukukuku*."

Hugh stopped to hear what they had to say, but he did not turn to face them. Whatever they said would probably irritate Felix even more if Hugh were to follow it.

He opened the door to the shifting room and navigated it near the central area. After a few seconds, he reached the fourth years' house circle with unique gigantic houses full of personality.

The sky was getting dark, and the lights turned on to illuminate the way for Hugh. He could see that most of the fourth-year houses glowed in the dark, which made it even look more beautiful.

It was a different experience walking through here in the night. The cold air and the contrast between the dark sky and the bright buildings gave a comforting feeling in Hugh's heart.

As he walked, he could see students start to crowd the road. They wore the standard uniform, so Hugh could guess that they were either freshmen or sophomores.

The crowd was grouped into different cliques; some had five people, some had as many as ten, and some were just couples who enjoyed a nice date in the evening.

They all chatted as they went on their way towards the central area. The excitement in everyone's heart quadrupled as soon as they could see the dome barrier encompassing the central area.

Hugh noticed that the central area completely changed. The buildings that were supposed to be for retail became party buildings with neon signs with booze.

It did not feel familiar at all; Hugh could not even see Oxyiel's materials in there. He could now understand why people said that the central area had a 'nightlife' that no one should miss.

Truthfully, even Hugh was starting to feel a sense of excitement as the endorphin rush of partying came to his mind. He shook his head and focused on his task at hand; he needed to talk with a Student Council officer.

Hugh stepped foot into the central area and immediately saw the gigantic holographic sign that displayed 'The Prestige'.

It was misleading to call it a club since it was more like a city and an amusement park put together. There were bars, disco rooms, karaoke booths, a Ferris wheel, and many other more entertaining amenities. The students around him started to yell in excitement as they raced through the streets.

It was almost too overwhelming for Hugh as he did not know how to even search for Felix. Thankfully, there was a gigantic building in the middle that had many students walking in. He looked at the sign that displayed 'The Prestige Club'.

Hugh decided to search there first before he tried to wander around the area. Male and females had a different entrance, which Hugh found weird until he went inside.

There were was a shower room that the male students used to freshen themselves up before going inside the club. Hugh looked around like a lost child as the men changed their clothes into something more stylish.

Hugh scratched his head. He thought that students could not wear anything else besides their uniform, but the blazers and the suits that these guys wore disproved that.

He bypassed the shower room and went directly into the club. As soon as he stepped foot in it, he could see the colorful lights hit the black floor accompanied by funky music.

There was a circular dance floor in the middle that most students had gathered in. The dance floor flashed different lights that gave dynamic movement to the inanimate objects. Hugh noticed that the students were wearing expensive clothes that accentuated their bodies.

Men wore polo shirts with tight pants, while the women wore skimpy dresses that showed off their skins. They all mingled together on the dance floor as the lights rained down on them, and the music guided their movements.

Around the dance floor were booths where people in groups gathered. There was a table in the middle where alcoholic drinks were served as they let themselves loose.

Hugh looked around the wild place as most people danced like there was no tomorrow. He found it fascinating because he had never been to this kind of place before.

He would always go back home after school and study for his classes. He also preferred not to go outside because his clothes do not look as good as the others.

Hugh's head moved around the place as he observed every little thing that happened. He was searching for anyone with an armband around their bicep, an indication of being a member of the Student Council.

As he was looking around, he did not notice that he was on a collision course with someone. The other person was also distracted as they bumped into each other.

Their shoulders bumped into each other as they retreated due to the force. Hugh looked at the person who bumped into him and immediately saw the bright blonde hair on her head.

Her wavy blonde hair was fully down and covered her shoulders. Hugh almost could not recognize her, but that attractive face without blemishes could only belong to one person; Serena.

She wore makeup on her face that was not too noticeable and just accentuated her natural beauty. Her ears that were hidden by her hair gleamed in the dim light, showing off her new diamond earrings.

Her outfit was a pink cotton shoulderless sweater that went down to half her thighs. Her milky white thighs were in full display that went down to her red high-heeled shoes.

She looked at him with furrowed eyebrows, offended that he dare bump into her.

"Watch where you are going."

Hugh looked at her hands and saw that she held her pink sparkly bag in one hand and a cellphone in the other. It was clear to Hugh that she had been preoccupied with her cellphone, making her bump into him.

"Watch where YOU are going."

Serena put her hand on her chest as she opened her mouth in disbelief. She could not believe that Hugh had the gall to repeat that to her.

She had uneven eyebrows as she looked at Hugh from his feet to his head. She could see no outstanding features from him, and he still had his uniform on. As far as she knew, Hugh had no power at all to correct her like that.

Serena pointed at Hugh then waved her finger in disapproval.

"YOU don't get to say that to ME."

Hugh did not back down as he responded to her.

"Why? Because of YOUR popularity?"

Hugh hated those kinds of people who felt entitled to everything just because they were more popular than everyone else.

"No, it's because of my strength. You couldn't even defeat Aric."

She had dismissed Hugh as a person who got into the special class because of his connections. She did not want to even look at him because of her disgust towards leeches.

"At least I'm not an elitist socialite."

"At least I'm not a leeching parasite who can't stand up for myself."

The two were at a stalemate as they both insulted each other. It was not long until the sounds of high-pitched voices interrupted them.
