Kapitel 1125: Double Celebration, The First Anniversary of the Apocalypse

Day 366 - 12:35 AM - Mountain Base, Mount Malabito, General Nakar, Province of Quezon, Philippines

Situated among the mountain range of Quezon, a mountain lit by the reddish gleam of the Night Everred Pure Spirit Tree stood out the most in the darkness of the night. 

Hidden under the giant tree's shade lay the Mountain Base, one of the very few bastions of safety left within the country.

Usually, midnight meant rest. Only those people tasked with guard duty would be around at this time, except for those with special circumstances.

But this night was different.

There was an occasion that needed to be addressed this time.

It was the first anniversary since the apocalypse began.

This was an occasion bound with different emotions.

To some people, it was the day they lost everything.

To others, it was the day they started anew.
