Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 122: Birthday
Saturday, 11 October 2025
Natan feels strange with his friends who somehow start avoiding him, even his wives no longer sleep together, although they are the ones who are very excited and always ask for a hug from him, but now look cold.
Natan could not use the Skeleton Squad to search for information by hiding their whereabouts in the shadows, as they were all assigned to build weapons in Chengdu City.
As Natan continued to walk and almost met the passage in front of her, there was suddenly a black-haired woman. "Calista!" He ran and hugged her from behind.
"Yeah!~" Calista was slightly surprised by the sudden arrival of Natan behind her and hugged her tightly. But, not rejecting him, he raised his left hand, rubbing Nathan's face. "Did you miss me?"
Natan just silently did not answer and hugged Calista even tighter. For five days they had not slept together and it made Nathan very lonely, if he had not known Calista or met him, he would have been mediocre to sleep alone, but now it was different.
There is still a lot for Calista to do, one of which is to help Ayumi cook the birthday cake, but, there is no harm in resting for a while to enjoy the warmth of Natan's embrace.
"Natan, let me go, I have to do something. Tomorrow, we'll sleep together again."
Natan did not move even though they had been in the same place for half an hour; there was no way he would let go of Calista the moment he missed her so much. However, there was suddenly a frown on his forehead as he sensed danger through the Skeleton Knight he had left in the northwestern part of Chengdu City.
Natan checked the surroundings, there was no presence of living beings. He turned Calista's body and kissed her lips warmly, then went in the direction she felt.
"Calista, I have to go first!"
Calista still froze silently as she touched her freshly-picked lips. "I'm sorry, we'll sleep together again tomorrow. These days, we're preparing a party for you."
Natan came out of the Guild Palace, jumped from the top floor and there was already Kori waiting for her to come; kori floated slowly as Natan came, then flew at her full speed, splitting the heavy snowfall.
"I'm so unlucky that not only can't sleep with Calista, but I also have to work at times like this."
Natan lowered his head looking at the high walls; there was a Player standing guard in turn.
Gold Star, Light of Eternity and Taiyang Guild still lived in Longquan Mountain, they planned to go to their respective posts and build a headquarters there after the winter ended.
Natan who had already exited Longquan Mountain, asked Kori to slow down her speed. "There's no need to come, I did feel weird and it was a level five hundred monster, but I can ask the troops to attack it."
There were 5 Skeleton Commander Lv.472, 30 Magic Archers Lv.472 guarding there, there was no need for him to intervene.
Natan decided to return to Longquan Mountain and rest there until spring arrived.
*Her Day Night
Natan, who was sleeping, awoke when she heard the knocking on the door. Reluctantly he went down and walked towards the twin doors that he did not lock. He opened the door slowly, there was a black-brown woman with sparkling black eyes, her skin was smooth as silk and her lips were red.
"What's up?—"
Calista caught Natan's wrist and pulled him into the Guild Hall that had never been entered, not because he did not want to, but because it was forbidden and no one should enter it.
When he got there, Nathan was asked to close his eyes.
Nathan follows Calista's orders and closes his eyes. He did not know what was really inside the Guild Hall, but it seemed that it was important and he should not look at it for a while.
Calista smiled faintly, then opened the door slowly; the Guild Hall was extremely dark with no light at all, but within it felt the presence of dozens of people.
Suddenly the light flashed and Natan opened her eyes slowly after being given a cue by Calista.
Natan lowered his head looking at the watch, seen the needle has shown at 00:15.
Ayumi and Erina run towards Natan, then take her to the end of the table where there is cake and tumpeng.
It was never thought that Natan would celebrate the anniversary after the Destruction of the World, because she had never celebrated it before. The last time he celebrated his birthday, it was a few weeks before the car accident.
"Happy birthday, Brother!" Ayumi and Erina smiled warmly looking at Natan.
Natan could not hold back her emotions; tears began to flow from the corner of her eyes and fell onto her cheeks. He still did not imagine going to feel the birthday, he almost forgot his birth date because of the world like this.
Ayumi turned to look at the cake that was on the table. With the index finger pointing at the candle, the fire began to burn its axis.
Nathan was asked to blow out the candles and give the first and second pieces of the cake. Surely he gave it to Ayumi and Erina so as not to have unnecessary fights, especially with sharp gazes from Calista, Vely and Olivia.
The event continued to eat all the dishes on the table; do not forget also to hand the gift to Natan, even though the gift was just ordinary accessories without any special effects.
"Are you two planning all this?" Natan looked left and right, looking at both Ayumi and Erina alternately sitting beside him.
There is no thought that Calista or the others did it, as only Ayumi and Erina knew the date of her birthday.
The two nodded their heads simultaneously with a warm smile etched on his face.
"Sister." Ayumi who was sitting to the right of Natan, raised her hand pointing to the empty spot in front of her.
The mana gathered across the table formed a vortex of light which from inside came out the NPC Shop named Anna was carrying a red colored box with ribbons. It was like a gift box, but was there an NPC Shop that gave rewards to the Player for free?
Anna walks around the dining table, leaving everyone in silence; no one knows the reason why Anna has come in when time has not yet entered even which is the rule.
When Anna was standing at the left behind Natan, she reached out her hand giving her a gift box she was carrying. "I brought it for you. Happy nineteenth birthday."
Everyone was stunned with their mouths open, not expecting Anna to come really to give Natan a gift. At first, they did see if Anna was carrying a gift, but did not expect that the gift would be given to Natan, even knowing that today was Natan's 19th birthday.
Natan was still speechless, but her hand still moved to grab the gift box. He lowered his head looking at the box he was carrying with both hands. "Can?" He looked at Anna.
Anna nodded her head in return.
Natan opened the red box, there was a simple bracelet made of brown thread; there was an inscription named Natan Alexander on the wood bound by the thread, and there were two small marbles the size of a little finger.
Natan's lips trembled at the sight of a bracelet that looked familiar, she once had the exact same bracelet, but was cut off by the nurse for clutching her hand too much. Since then, he never used the bracelet again and never bought it, because the bracelet was given by his mother who made it herself.
"Mother..."
Without wasting any time, Natan put the bracelet on her left hand, then looked back. "Accept ... ." He no longer saw Anna.
Anna ... Anna ... Brianna's. No way!
