Chapter 26: Monsters ' attack
Time left before monster attacks: 4 hr.: 00 min
Now,
Ash is practicing knife with high concentration because he can't go out of the city to explore outside of the city for resource gathering and he feel bored waiting for monsters' attack and he sometimes on monsters' attack duration time, he thinks constant fearful things in his mind, like:- maybe this is last moment in his life and maybe his companion will died on gruesome dead on mouth of monster , or they all died in monster's attack so he wanted to distract himself on this negative thought that's why he is practicing with knife.
At this moment when Ash is practicing with knife, he thinks deep in his mind that he become adapted to this new world of eldros better than his previous world blue planet because in his sub-conscious mind he always liked to free from any interference of government and big people from blue planet where the mistakes of politicians and bureaucrats always make normal people like him to suffer compared to them. they can get out of those mistakes easily nobody can really harm them without a doubt,
he feels in his mind the world of eldros is paradise for commoner class compared to blue planet because any mistake by leader (altar owner) will surely impact his altar growth and if altar city become weaker than monsters and beast will destroy the altar and in consequence altar-owner also die with altar but here if commoner are lucky they may be survive compared to altar-owner.
Few min later, ash feels hungry in his mind and his stomach is "growl-growl" then he decided that he and his follower need foods to eat before monster attack
Few second of consideration,
Ash decided to order robin,
" To prepare food for all us to eat," ash said and ash also like robin 's cooking after all robin is professional butler in high level altar-city and cooking was also in the syllabus the of butler
And Ash gets to know from Robin that he learned cooking from the head butler and master-chef of his previous altar city's altar owner.
Ash was surprised of revelation of robin.
then,
" Okay my lord, I will go and prepare food for all of us to eat" Robin said, after that robin went to place where all the item of cooking is gathered and this place almost 80% look like a kitchen when ash sees the place previous day.
Again, Ash sees Robin started to do prepare ingredient for cooking food and ash seems to think, robin like cooking, so ash feels maybe, robin liked ash's order for him to prepare food for every person and all people except robin in this city is doing something but he is idle so new work also may be delighted robin.
Here, ash is practicing the with knife almost 30 min and his fingers are feeling numb and he sees red color under skin in his finger and he also feel tired because of practice in his mind, then he goes to meet with robin and he sees robin almost cooked the food for eating for all people. and his tongue is watering on food and he seems to feel the food is tasty. So, he talked with robin, about food and robin answered the question of ash and ash 's curiosity of cooking.
Again,
" You prepare to serve the food and I will go meet with ram and bring him for eating a food." Ash said
Robin agreed with ash and he said " okay my lord "
After
Ash goes towards city-garden direction and few min later ash arrived in his destination, he seems to feel the mana density higher here compared to other places of the city, he feels refresh because good amount of mana-density, and he seems too genuine like the mana-tree because of this reason, wherever he sees mana-tree, he always appears to get genuine smile in his face. Then he meets with ram. and ash said to ram " how are your injury ", ash get positive response with ram after that ash tried to see ram 's status.
A new window pop-up in front of ash's eyes.
........
..........
Name: Ram (altar subject)

........
..........
After seeing ram's status become normal , Ash feel happy and there is genuine joy on his face and ram can also see joy of ash in his face , but ash also has some concern in his heart how ram will behave or he tried to undermine ash 's authority but he in his mind choose to ignore it , because he also think in his mind that he has taken a bullet so concerning more on this issue is detrimental to his altar city and he looks on the ram's loyalty in status window also give him some assurance about ram and he feels ram's working style may not be change much ,and he also think ram will listen to his command again but he make sure his heart to speak with ram utmost respect, again he tried to see the status of the city.
then, a new window pop-up in front of ash.

...........
In the status window of the nexus city, ash can see the attack power of the city is max and defense power is also almost max.
Ash feels ecstasy and surprised in his mind and his smile double on his face after seeing the status window of altar, he thinks all altar owners in this world like to have his cities have max attack and defense power, after all no one resist power in this dangerous where someone died instantly without a getting a chance to resist.
And ash get some new information from altar in his mind that tell him that attack power of the city is not going to increase further in status window because altar level needed to upgrade for calculating more power of the city and this is also going to be case with defense power of the nexus city.
Few min later,
Ash said to ram
" Good, your injury is almost healed that will give us lot of more courage and helps us for defending the city"
he also notices ram's face is smiling but he also feels happy because he gets a real level 3 power-house in the city.
" let's go and eat some foods, that robin cooked for us.", ash said to ram
Ram agreed with ash after that both ash and ram started to go towards the place where robin cooked the food.
3 min later, they meet with robin
And robin almost prepared the food in the leaves for eating by everyone. they took their leaf-plate and started to eat their own food, Ash can see their face showing a smile and they seem to be in good mood.
15 min later,
Ash and other almost eaten their foods. Then ash gets a pop-up message in front of his sees. and he sees to read.
i.e.
...
......….
Congratulation to the altar owner for first subordinate under you to upgrade his level from level 0 to level 1
......
......….
Ash seems surprised by announcement of the system but he feels good about an announcement and evan 's upgrade from level 0 to level 1. He told this news to robin, ram. He feels, they are also happy about that,
"Evan will need sometime to adjust his level", ram said
Robin also agreed with ram.
Ash also seems to agree with ram, so he postpone the idea of meeting with evan instant.
"Robin meets with evan after few hours later and deliver leaf-plate food to him", ash said
"Okay my lord", robin said
Few hours later,
Ash wanted to see the time left before monster attack.
Then, a window pop-up in front of ash
...
......
Time left before monster attacks: 0 hr.: 01 min
......…
.........…
Ash informed this news to robin and ram, so all of them, took their weapon and ready for attack of monsters but robin took the weapon of evan because city don't have extra weapon to give robin.
Ash feels shame in his heart because as a city -owner he even not able to provide simple weapon to his follower but he can't do anything about it, after all truth is that he does not have extra weapon to give it to robin and his city is only 3 and half days old. He thinks robin can understand his problem.
Ash, robin and ram are standing out of the city where they installed the pit traps.
Ash sees in front of his status window.
......
...........
Time left before monster attacks: 0 hr.: 00 min: 50 sec
Time left before monster attacks: 0 hr.: 00 min:00 sec
...….
......…
From afar, ash can feel suppression in his heart and mind and a unique-fear that he never experiences before, as if a higher – being is coming in front of lower-being. He can see ram is looked surprised and robin is also fearful like him.
After, he tries to see the status of the monsters that are attacking his city.
