บท 18: TA: Alex's Birthday
First Person POV Leo
It has been half a year since we escape the clutches of the people that came from the underground base. While it has been many months since we were inside the forest, The Physical training I got was very hard but worth it. I could feel power coming from my muscles and bones, The flexibility that came from my tendons. My stamina that could make me run for months without stopping and I would not get tired. The speed that could rival a car that is running 150km/hour.
The stats weren't even gifted yet and my power was beyond something superhuman. Anyway I would start the second plan that was about increasing the rank of my skills.
My First skill is the Creation skill, It was the most easiest skill to upgrade. All I would do is spam the skill until I get tired unlike the other skill. But maybe this is why my Creation skill is the best, I know many skill could rival my skill but still creating something out of nowhere and creating anything is the best thing that could happen to you.
Second skill is probably the Flying Knife Teleportation skill, With its current rank my skill has a lot of uses. But the most Important is that I could teleport people with me and teleporting in long distance. This will one of my important skill since it could be my life saving skill while also my sure kill skill.
Third skill is Special forces technique, The skill that was taught by a special forces soldier during the apocalypse. I was proficient of this skill with me practicing it over many years but it was still not perfected. With this skill perfectly integrated to Charlotte it was perfected and the skill was eliminated of its weakness.
Fourth skill called Gun mastery, All I have to do was shoot the bullseye for a thousand of times. But with the skill getting higher, with me aiming and dexterity. This would be very easy and I probably need to make my own pistol since I couldn't always depend on the Glock. Although the unlimited ammo is great, The penetration is bullshit. What I want is something that could penetrate a meter cement wall, I would need time to build it using my creation skill but it is not impossible.
Fifth would be Academic Mastery skill, This skill is useful for its knowledge and it would increase my wisdom as it would make my Creation skill more easier to use. As many wise men said KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
Sixth the Mind Control Skill, I would probably need to hide this skill. Although I don't want to upgrade the skill because I was given the option of controlling Alex instead but I don't want that. I want her to be mine by my own effort Controlling her is bullshitery and won't be approved by the Council of Men.
The Dagger Mastery skill, I don't think I would always use this since my Gun Mastery would be good and No target would get past Alex when she is in front of me. But it was always told that, It was better to have a backup skill if the main skill fails which was below 0.0001 percent but like they always saw it was better to have this than sorry.
Now that I am done with my skill review its time for me to go outside the cabin and look for Alex. But wait a minute I feel that I am forgetting something.
"Charlotte, Is there something to remind" I asks on Charlotte who I always thought to be a sage or a wise person. I was met with silence until I heard her emotionless voice.
[Leo, The current day is May 4, 2013. Something Important will happen.] Charlotte said with her mechanical and emotionless voice.
'Hmm, This day and this month. What could be the important thing that would happen today' I thought but after seconds later I finally remembered, When I realize I couldn't help but feel disappointment towards myself. How could I be so dumb, What the fuck was the use of my fucking Intelligence stats.
"This day would be Alex's birthday, She will be a decade old or ten years old. This will be important in her life since this will be the first birthday she would celebrate with me. I need to make a plan and a surprise to make her feel that being with me was the best part of her life" I began to planned her birthday party using my advance knowledge and high Intelligence.

Third person POV
Leo walked out of the cabin and was smiling as if he has done something good towards humanity. He looks around and saw Alex practicing the Katana with her, She was currently on her stance and was preparing to strike the tree.
Alex calmly breathes and stares at the tree with a serious face, She felt her muscle contracting then proceeds to swing her katana in a fast speed that could almost look like a blur.
She was still standing in front of the tree looking at it calmly, Her katana was still at its sheath. It was as if the Katana didn't move and was calmly at Alex waist waiting for her to draw it.
Seconds later the tree started falling down revealing its clean horizon line, The tree fell down and its leaves scatter around the ground. Alex smiled looking at her work while Leo was staring at her with surprise.
How the hell did she do that, Is she a samurai warrior during her past life. Like how the fuck did she do that and why would there be a delay why isn't there a sound when she cut the tree. Leo was very confuse then realize that while he was increasing his stats. Alex was increasing both of her skill in a katana with her Strength, Agility, Dexterity, and Vitality.
But wait Leo had another question, 'How the hell did she do it. If it was that easy even an ordinary human could do it via Persistence and Hard work. Maybe there is really something wrong with her body, But isn't this better? I won't be getting problems on strengthening her before the apocalypse' Leo smiled as he proposed a new plan that came from his brain.
"Brother what are you doing here?" Alex raised an eye brow when she saw her brother looking at her, It has been months since they came in this forest and she was proud on her hard work but her brother was still monstrous. He was focusing on his body and not on his skill but with this pace, Her brother would probably be undefeatable by anyone.
"I have a surprise for you" Leo smiled towards Alex and holds her hand, He proceeds to drag her back to the cabin. Alex was curious on what her brother wants to do but she didn't stopped him and just followed him.
The two entered the cabin while holding hands, Alex looks around and saw many balloons and decorations. She was very confuse on what was happening since she didn't know what her brother would celebrate.
Leo stops holding Alex's hands and looks at her while smiling, He then proceed to breathe deeply then shouted.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!!!" After Leo's shouted, The lights then proceeds to light up its colorful colors that shines through the cabin. Some fireworks came flew to the sky that came from outside the cabin, It then flew without stopping and explodes with a Big Bang.
The Fireworks were very bright and beautiful, It was as if a shooting star exploded on the sky forming more shooting stars. Then Alex notices that the Fireworks were starting to form 1 and 0 which signifies her age.
Alex was surprised and didn't speak to her brother, It was silence until a tear falls down from her eyes. She forgot her birthday, The 2 years of being trapped in the dark room made her forgot about it.
Alex was very happy when she heard her brother saying happy birthday towards her, She thought her birthday would just be trapped in the Annals of history forgotten by her.
"Alex, Happy Birthday" Leo walked in front of Alex then proceeds to hug her, The both of them were hugging each other without anyone trying to disturb them. The two didn't stopped until Leo remembers about Alex birthday.
"It's time for your gifts" Leo then proceeds to bring 5 gifts that is only for Alex, Alex stopped hugging her brother and looks at the gifts with a surprise. Some of them were very big while some has too much designs and decoration in it.
"What is this Brother?" Alex ask, she knew it was a gift but she was still very surprise all she thought was to be with her brother during her first birthday after 2 years. Leo gently smiled at Alex and stares at her Scarlet Red eyes.
"It's your gifts, Open it" Leo said as he puts the 5 gifts in front of Alex, Alex looks at her brother for confirmation to open it. Seeing her acting like that Leo smiles and nodded towards Alex, Alex happily smiled at her brother and proceeds to open the 5 gifts.
Alex was in front of the gifts that were given by her brother, She opens the first gift. It was longer than the other gifts and she was curious on what it was. She slowly unwrapped the gift and opens it with her tiny hands, She looks at the inside and she was given a katana that had her initials in it. It was pure black like her last katana but it was very different, The outline of the katana had a red glow in it while the sheath of the katana was name after Alex and Leo.
She smiles at the gift her brother gave to her, She happily smiles towards her brother who was smiling at here while eating some cake.
"I made it with hard work, using a metal that I painstakingly created that was a 1000 times more powerful or stronger than a titanium and I made the weight to be changed by only you manually. All you need is to put a droplet of your blood on it so that the sword can recognize it user." Leo smirked and was proud of his creation, The metal and the weight changer was that thing that made the Katana very special and it also has its own detection item that is with the katana.
"Thank you Brother" Alex said while gently smiling towards her brother, She was caressing the Katana gently and slowly took off the sheath of the katana. The blade reflects the bright light that came from the cabin and shows the smoothness of the blade.
"And there is more things that is special about it. The Katana can take the flames that could be 1000x more hot than the sun, It also has a vibration metal that was combine perfectly with my metal. This means you can deflect bullets and slice through any metal or things with out getting the Katana dulled it can't even rust itself if millions of years passed." Leo continued what he said and looks proudly at Alex. This was the first greatest creation he had that could be called The Katana that could Rival the so called Excalibur.
Alex puts the Katana back at its sheath and continued to open the remaining gifts. The first gift was very surprising so she was trying to get herself ready without getting surprise but her brother's gift.
She opens that gift and it was a very weird gift so she looks at her brother in order to know what this gift was. Seeing her confusion Leo smiles at the confuse Alex.
"That's where you put you old Katana, It is a respect that is made by each samurai's they would not throw the Katana but put it in a Secure box. This box I made is completely airless, It will preserve your first Katana so that it could be remembered during our adventures." Leo said with a Wise Sage look, Alex was at daze and took out her old Katana. She smiles at the memories of the Katana she had when she was at her training. The Katana was barely holding on its own after the training Alex did but in the end It still hold on to her without breaking apart.
She slowly puts it in the box and closes the box tightly, The box then proceeds to close on its own and locking itself preserving the Old Katana she had.
After the Box closed itself, Alex opens the third gift that was given by her brother. She slowly unwrapped the gift and opens it with her eyes wide open. It was clothes or to be exact it was a black suit, She looks at her brother for the third time.
"It's a suit for you, It can transform itself into a black belt and all you had to do is thought of it. It will transform the belt into a suit protecting your body, This suit can deflect 50.cal bullets easily and can take a tank shell head on for 10 times. This suit will be the best protection when an emergency happens." Leo said.
Alex stares at the suit and transforms it into a black belt, It looks like a normal into a leather belt that was very beautiful. She slowly packs it up and puts it with her things that came from Leo's gifts.
She proceeds to unwrapped the fourth gift, After opening it up she saw a silver necklace that had a black diamond on its center. She wears it on her neck and looks at it through the mirror, The necklace perfect fits on her and was very comfortable.
"It's an Very Expensive Normal Necklace." Leo said while smiling, After checking through her fourth gift she then proceeds to open the fifth gift that was given my Leo.
While Alex was opening the fifth gift, Leo was still smiling at her but in his mind he was thinking a lot of things.
'The Necklace is the tracking device I put on her and it has a part of my Flying Knife Teleportation skill. This would be very useful when she is alone and in danger towards hostile enemies' Leo thought to himself while still smiling on the outside.
Alex opens the fifth gift, It was very big compared to the other gifts that was given to her by Leo. She slowly unwraps it and open the massive gift by herself.
Opening it fully, Alex saw something she didn't expect. She thought that her fifth gift was very big but only the wrapper box was big. Inside it was the picture they took when they were in the rural town, She could see herself and her brother smiling on the picture.
"Thank you" Alex said while smiling with gratitude.
"Your Welcome" Leo answered with a gentle smile.
----------
After the Birthday party, Leo and Alex slept together on the same bed having some good dreams. The two were covered by the bright moonlight that came through the window but something was happening on Alex's body.
Her body was radiating a Black Aura that shapes itself into some kind of Flame. It didn't hurt her but what could it be?, While this was happening on her body. Outside the Cabin was a Morning Star, It was very bright than other stars with it gaining the attention of individuals around the world.
————————————————————
In some abandoned church, A group was doing some kind of ritual that was considered satanic for normal people.
"Arch Bishop, The light of the morning star has shown itself." A very disturbing voice was heard among the group.
"It has AWAKEN, THE DEVIL HAS AWAKEN" The Arch Bishop shouted towards his followers. It was a big event for their religion, The Legend was true.
"All Hail the MORNING STAR!!!" The followers said at the same time.
'7 years later the END will start.' The Arch Bishop thought to himself. When he thinks about it he laughs maniacally and his voice was distorted when he laughs.
