System's POV

Chapter 774 A Special Day [Part 1]

Chapter 774  A Special Day [Part 1]

Thirteen's eyes abruptly opened, his biological clock nudging him awake perfectly on time.

As he attempted to get up, his sudden movement made Erica, who was hugging him, also open her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Erica groggily asked.

"I need to prepare to go to the Colosseum," Thirteen replied.

The young lady blinked once then twice before placing her right hand behind Thirteen's head and pushing him closer to her chest.

"Have you forgotten?" Erica asked. "The arena is destroyed and is currently under repair. It will take at least three days to repair it and reinforce it to prevent it from getting destroyed again."

Thirteen, whose face had just been pressed against two soft hills, finally remembered that Erica was right.

After this realization, he no longer resisted and even wrapped his arms around Erica's back, allowing his head to nestle in that warm, soft place that calmed his heart.

Ever since Erica asked Zion to become her fiance as her reward, their relationship had grown closer.

Although it took a lot of effort, Thirteen no longer shied away from giving the two ladies quick pecks on their lips whenever he bid them good night.

Though, if anyone were to suddenly intrude inside the room and see the three of them on the bed, certain misunderstandings would immediately arise and spread.

Only Sherry, who was wearing a one-piece night gown, was modestly dressed.

Thirteen only wore his underwear to sleep, while Erica was nearly naked. The Sorceress still wore an undergarment at the lower part of her body, but her top was completely bare for Thirteen to see.

Despite the tempting sight, the teenage boy was, after all, not like ordinary boys who would have indecent thoughts when they see a beautiful lady like Erica, whose entire body was exposed in the open.

In Thirteen's point of view, Erica and Sherry were his confidants, so he treated them more special than others.

However, sometimes, Laplace Demon and The One were very tempted to seek out the System God and ask him to tweak Thirteen's settings and turn on the option for Libido.

If only they knew that Deus Ex Machina would be more than happy to do that, they would have already tried to reach out to him long ago.

However, ever since the System God had once again bypassed their authority by sending his Avatar to fight Thirteen in the Temple of Courage, the relationship between the Gods had become rather thorny.

Sherry, who woke up ten minutes later, looked at Thirteen and Erica before moving closer to them.

She then hugged Thirteen, treating him as her hug pillow before once again falling asleep.

The three stayed like that for two more hours before Erica woke the two of them up.

Although she would like to stay in bed for a while longer, today was a special day and it only came once a year.

They then took a bath together with Zion and dressed him up presentably, making the teenage boy wonder why he needed to wear a suit on his day off.

Erica and Sherry, on the other hand, wore dresses that made the two of them look more beautiful.

Even Sherry, whose beauty was starting to bloom, would make the boys look at her fiercely because of how pretty she was.

Erica knew for certain that a few years from now, Sherry would start making heads turn in her direction. She might even get plenty of marriage proposals from the powerful families in Pangea.

Unfortunately for them, her heart was already set on someone, and Erica was more than happy to help the young lady form closer ties with Zion.

"What's the occasion?" Thirteen, who was no longer able to hold his curiosity, asked. "You really don't know?" Erica asked back as he fixed the teenage boy's tie. At that moment, he suddenly remembered what was special about this day, which made him frown.

His memory was usually impeccable. However, after busying himself in laying out the groundwork of his plans for the Special Event, as well as dealing with the aftermath of such events, he had not paid too much attention to the days of the week.

Erica and Sherry glanced at each other before nodding at the same time.

""Happy Birthday, Zion!""

The two girls greeted the teenage boy who had just turned fourteen years old.

Thirteen didn't reply right away as he glanced at the two ladies, who were smiling at him.

He then placed his right hand over his chest, once again affirming that he now had a beating heart and was living his life as a human.

A few minutes later, he opened his eyes and reached to hug Erica and Sherry at the same time.

"Thank you," Thirteen said. Though he only spoke two words, it held a lot of weight, for Zion didn't thank anyone that often.

He usually did things alone without trying to gain recognition from anyone.

However, the two ladies knew that Zion had done many things for others, including humanitarian missions, using different organizations as his cover.

He also founded several orphanages to care for the children who had lost their parents in Solterra and Pangea from the Jinn Outbreaks.

Only they knew that even though Zion acted coldly at times, he was in fact kinder, more caring, more gentle, and warmer than anyone else they had met in their lifetime.

They also knew that the smiles that he showed to others when he was being filmed by the cameramen or when he was at special events were fake.

The true Zion hid his feelings really well. He would only show them to the people whom he trusted with his life.

Because of this, both of them felt fortunate that the teenage boy didn't wear his mask in private, allowing them to see the ignorant and sometimes naive boy who wouldn't even bat an eye even if he were to see beautiful naked ladies in front of him.

"Let's go," Erica said, lightly patting the teenage boy's head. "Go where?" Thirteen asked.

"To where everyone who cares about you is waiting," Sherry replied.

Holding his hand, the two ladies dragged him out of the room.

When they arrived at the living room, they saw Hans who seemed to have been waiting for them.

"Young Master, Lady Erica, Lady Sherry, I am here to take you to the venue," Hans said with a respectful bow.

"Understood," Thirteen replied. This wasn't his first time celebrating his birthday party because his family treated this event very seriously.

Since life as a Wanderer was very unpredictable, all birthdays and anniversaries were celebrated without fail.

Several minutes later, they arrived at the Astoria Hotel, where Thirteen's birthday party was going to be held.
