Supremacy Games

Felix received many congratulation messages from Olivia and the others close to him. He was even invited to a party that was held in the UVR to celebrate it.

Seeing that it was being made by Olivia and his grandfather, Felix decided to take part.

...

"Do you think he will be mad at us?" Olivia asked with a worried tone while eyeing a three layers birthday chocolate cake.

"Don't worry, Felix has matured and experienced hell in his journey." Robert patted her in the head, "If he can slay a dragon, overcoming his trauma of birthdays should be doable too."

"Let's hope so...I don't want to upset him in his party." Olivia murmured while placing candles on the cake.

Unbeknownst to Felix, Olivia, and Robert were taking advantage of the party pretense to hold Felix a birthday party.

He would turn twenty-four in three days!

Robert always wanted to celebrate Felix's birthday...Alas, he knew that Felix never participated in a birthday party ever since his parents died.

To learn about your parents' death at a young age was already a serious blow to any kid.

But, when it happened on your birthday and learn that the only reason they died was due to rushing towards the party, that was a major traumatic experience.

Ever since then, Felix never mentioned birthdays, hosted his own, or participated in another one.

It truly pained Robert to see Felix like this.

...

Three days later...In the evening.

Felix and Asna could be seen locking arms together while standing before an invitation link. They were dressed beautifully, making them resemble a couple from fairy tales.

Since it was a party, naturally Asna wasn't going to sit back and watch Felix have all the fun.

"Don't cause trouble." Felix warned her one last time before pressing on the invitation link.

"Stop treating me like a child." Asna pinched him in the arm in annoyance while breaking into light particles.

The moment they reopened their eyes, they found themselves standing in utter darkness.

"Did we teleport to the wron..."

Before Felix could finish his sentence, the lights were turned on simultaneously.

Olivia, Robert, Malak, Erik, and the rest all jumped out in the open while shouting, "Surprise!!"

Pow Pow!..

Everyone blew confetti at Felix and Asna, showering them with little pieces of colorful plastic. Their gorgeous outfits were ruined but neither one of them cared about it.

"Happy Birthday Felix!!"

"New year! New journey!"

"Happy Birthday son."

Everyone started clapping in enjoyment while wishing him happy birthday after seeing his stunned expression.

However, when they switched their eyes to Asna...Everyone stopped clapping at once and just kept staring at her with dazed looks.

"So pretty..." Olivia murmured.

"How is it possible that she is more beautiful than in the videos?" Erik wiped his spilling saliva, feeling like he was making a grave sin by just staring at Asna.
