Chapter 2_Titan's Folly

Chapter 2

Waking up, John thought he was hearing things, until he looked above his head and noticed a systems page. “I have a system?” “Like in all the web novels?” “HAHAHAHA! Finally, something is finally, going my way!” Reading the panel from the system, John was baffled. “...... I’m not ...fully human?" "What the hell does that mean?”

Looking at his ripped cloths, he finally noticed his increase in height and weight. He had grown so tall, that his legs were now dangling off the bottom of his king sized bed. Examining the shredded clothing he had just bought, he began to worry, “Am I turning into a monster?”

Pushing himself off, his bedframe groaned at the massive weight shifting off of it. Getting to his feet, John felt light headed, as the new height made him feel like he was walking on a ladder. Going to the bathroom, he made his way out of the bedroom when, Wham! He knocked his head against the doorframe, toppling himself onto the floor. “FUCK!”

Sprawled on the floor, holding his head, his cat Muffin jumped onto him, licking him, and purring in an attempt to consolidate him. “I’m fine bubby. I love you too.” Grabbing ahold of the cat he lifted him off and put him back on the bed, patting his head. “At least my animals still love me.”

Getting back on his feet, he ducked out of the doorframe as he entered the bathroom. Looking into the mirror, he was stunned. He was so tall that he had to squat down to be able to see himself. Beside his new height, he had a bulky new body. His arms were massive, and his upper body was like a bodybuilders.

Looking at his hands, as he grabbed ahold of his toothbrush, and was bewildered to see them completely envelope the tube and brush. Opening his mouth, he was happy to notice a brand new set of teeth shinning back at him, but they were massive. The most noticeable part of the whole transformation was his new rugged good looks, and massive jawline. Smiling at himself, he began to feel the deep hunger returning.

Lumbering towards the garage he began pulling out every piece of meat he had left. Cooking the food, he had a strange new urge to try the raw meat. Trying to hold himself back, his hunger finally won out, and he began biting into the raw and frozen pork. After devouring an entire five pound roast, bone and all, he heard a ding, and looked at his new system. [+0.5 evolution points.]

“So, that’s how it works.” Looking at the massive table full of left over meat, and feeling the rumbling of his stomach, he began to devour everything. Terrifying cracking and tearing noises started coming from the kitchen, scaring the dogs and cats, and caused them to retreat into the back room. Finally finished with his meal, and feeling satisfied, he fed the animals, coaxing them from the room, and for the first time in years, felt… almost happy.

Looking at the new system, he found he had already accumulated eight out of the ten points needed for his evolution. Putting on the extra cloths he bought, he decided to go to the grocery store, to buy more food and cloths. Getting into his truck was an ordeal all on its own, though he somehow made it work by hugging onto his knees.

Driving to the grocery store, his stomach began rumbling, and felt a deep, painful hunger, coming from the depths of his soul. Making his way down the road, he finally made it to the store. Pulling in, he could no longer think of anything, but the gnawing hunger, coming from the depths of his soul.

Getting out of the truck, he began walking to the entrance with a mad determination to grab as much meat as possible, and leave to eat. However, as he entered the store, he was stopped by a voice he hadn’t heard in years. “John?” Spinning around, he was face to face with his older brother, James. He had not seen James since his father’s funeral, and later lawsuits, when James was still pretending to be best friends with him. James’s face went wide in surprise, as he realized the man in front of him had turned and responded to his brother’s name.

Looking at the hulking, monstrous man in front of him, James froze in shock as his brain began to process the situation. “Sorry, you looked just like my little brother for a second, but he is much smaller and fatter.” His wife walked up to James, while he was talking, and interrupted the conversation. Her name was Valery, and they had gotten engaged after my father had bought James a gold store after he finished the college he paid for. She initially presented herself as a Christian woman, with good morals and kindness, and everyone, except my brother, saw through it.

Once his father passed, she convinced him to marry her, and they took the houses, business, money, and basically everything else from his death . Even having the nerve to tell us, "it's better for them to keep it, because we were too poor to take care of the property's." After she was set, she ditched the façade, and showed her true self.

Walking up to us, she immediately copped an attitude, and began speaking, “What the hell do you think you’re doing?" "I told you, I wanted to buy a new wardrobe from Prada!" "Why are you still here, talking to this loser?" James looked at her, and then around her area, finally asking, “Where are the kids?” Looking annoyed and ready to leave, she responded, “Why are they my problem? You’re their father! You’re lucky I even put up with you, it’s not my fault you won’t spend the extra money to hire a full time nanny!”

Looking nervous and irritated, he turned to her and walked back into the store, apparently looking for his lost bastards. They were so concentrated on themselves, they didn’t even see the angry smirk, and drool cascading down from John's face, as his hunger peaked. This caused his senses to skyrocket, and forced him to smell and sense everything, and everyone, all at the same time.

Walking into the store, he made a bee line to the back, where the meat was cut and stored. Grabbing ahold of a few stacks of meat, he began searching for a cart to put them in, when he suddenly smelt the most amazing, wonderful, and appetizing smell in his life. Dropping the meat on the floor, he followed the smell into the back of the store warehouse.

Following past the rubber drapes dragging on the floor from the doorframes, he walked into the back, and followed the smell all the way to the dark loading docks, finally seeing what was making that delicious smell. In front of him, two kids were kicking a pinned little boy from the front of a forklift. The little boy was barely responsive, and bleeding profusely, but the two little children abusing him weren’t panicking.

I could hear the voices of the little girls standing above the boy, as if they were right next to me. “I told you I would kill you! See? There isn’t anything you, or your family can do about it either! My mommy and daddy will just give the judge some more money and give your family some too! You should be happy! You are finally worth something now, no need to thank me! Hehehe!”

Listening to the little girl’s words, his mind went blank and couldn’t believe what was happening. “My brother doesn’t have a son, so that child must be someone else's.” Hearing the words that might as well have come straight from her psycho mother’s mouth, my mind saw red.

Walking out from the darkness, the little girls screamed as they saw my towering physique approach. Grabbing ahold of the two little girls, they suddenly snapped, flipping like a switch, “You better let us go or we will have our daddy and mommy lock you up, like the babysitter!” “Let us go, I can’t believe you killed Jose!" Stunned at the quick thinking, and audacity of the little girl, I froze for a split second. The second child, realizing what her sister was doing, began backing her up for the blackmail. “Jose was our friend, you loser!" "Who do you think people are going to believe!"

Looking at the two monsters squirming in his grasp, the older girl accidently cut herself trying to escape. Drooling, and overcome with the instinct to feed, he smelt that wonderful aroma again, but this time it was right next to him, and much stronger.

Noticing the monstrous man holding them grow still, the older girl looked up to him, and immediately regretted it. The giant man was staring at her like a juicy piece of meat, drooling everywhere, smiling with his massive teeth and mouth. “What do you think you’re doing? Let us go now!” His stomach grumbled again, putting out the last embers of his dying humanity.

No longer able hold himself back, he turned to the two in his grasp, after all, who was the real monster here? Gripping the girl in his right hand, he began to lift her into the air, and opened his mouth wide.

“AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!” The little girls screamed, as he lowered her into his mouth, feet first. Once she was lowered past her waist, crunch, crunch, crunch! The screams died down, as John fell into a daze, eating until there was nothing left.

The most wonderful taste and euphoria overcame him, as he’s devoured the little monster in front of him. Ptf! Spitting out a bloody shoe, stuck behind his cheek, he lifted up the second child, who was now in shock. Crunching, and tearing noises came from the back of the warehouse as he finished his meal.
