The bigger they are, the harder they fall
OLD RE-UPLOAD FROM FURAFFINITY! (APRIL 2021)
You are a dragon. A glorious dragon, in fact. Such a glorious dragon, in fact, that you attract hordes of kobolds to adore you. Simply by existing many of these little fellas travel all around the world just to get a sight of you. This comes with many perks. Treasures, books, fun little trinkets, and even food are being offered to you by all of your visitors! Especially the food is a treat with how you can just taste delicacies from all over the world! Even if you feel very stuffed, your immense dragon pride will not allow you to turn anything down.
This does come at a price though. With how the kobolds do all the work for you and therefore negating the need to traverse outside of your caves you do not burn this massive surplus of calories. It is way nicer that way, is it not? You are a dragon after all, so being spoiled like true royalty is only befitting to you! At first, you barely notice the change in body physique, but gradually, you begin gaining weight. It feels quite nice to have some padding as it helps you feel comfortable on top of your treasure horde. But with your growing weight, more issues come rolling in - quite literally. Even more kobolds show up in your domain, with an even higher frequency of food offerings which only increase in quantity and calories. Now you mainly get meats and even those fancy baked goods that humans produce. Are the kobolds stealing them? Not like it would matter. So much food, so many kobolds. You do not go a second hungry, and you are way too busy swallowing all that food to not choke on it. Sometimes it goes on for hours where you have to eat the cheerful crowds’ food offerings, often being stuffed way beyond what you would call full. Falling into a food coma doesn’t help either with burning any calories…
All of this goes on for weeks, months,... Do you even know how long it has been going on like this? You are just stuck in your little realm, eating away for hours. At least that is what you think. You have no way to see the day-night cycle in here. The only way to parse some of the time that has passed is to observe how much weight you have put on. While originally only being slightly chubby you are now morbidly obese, your body features drowned out by your countless fat rolls. One could easily confuse you with a hippo. Some would even go too far to argue that you more resemble a beached whale, or an off-color mountain, even.
One day no kobold is around to feed you, and you try to use this as your chance to stop this madness. To escape. But try as you might…Your muscles have weakened from all the resting. They can not lift the weight you have put on recently. Your draconic pride and greed have ultimately become your downfall as you hear your horde of kobolds approaching once more, chanting their little appreciation song they have made just for their blob of a dragon.
It’s mealtime once more for you~
