Leveling Up Wives In The Apocalypse

Chapter 97 Playing games

“Is that why you were pushing yourself so hard all this time?” Nadia asked as her lips trembled and formed a small smirk.

“Amongst other things, yeah,” Mathew replied and nodded his head, painfully aware of how Nadia’s small smirk grew into a wide grin.

“Oh, you little,” Nadia muttered in a flirty tone as she pushed her boobs out and pressed them against Mathew’s chest. “If you wanted to have some fun with me, you only needed to say a word, you know?” she added with a smile brighter than the sun itself.

“No can do.” Mathew shook his head. “Sure, I would love to just sleep with you until the judgment day comes… But how could we enjoy ourselves without making sure we are safe first?”

This was the truth behind Mathew’s determination to establish the fortress.

‘With our food and drinks secured through merchants, we no longer need to worry about the first level of human needs according to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs,’ Mathew thought. ‘And the next level isn’t about socializing, but about security.’

“That’s a valid point,” Nadia nodded her head only to then lean herself forward and rest her forehead against Mathew’s. “But once we get this over with, can I count on some private time with you?”

Her voice was meek, only serving to showcase the insecurity Nadia felt a the moment.

‘I guess bringing Leila and Daria to the picture, something that she accepted on the surface, still does pain her a bit,’ Mathew thought as he bit his lips.

Securing more companions to his group was essential for Mathew’s survival. As such, he didn’t really have much of a choice when it came to that bisexual pair. And while fucking around with a group of girls that were all consenting to the act was nice…

Seeing the pained look deep behind Nadia’s eyes made Mathew question whether it was actually worth it.

“Once we get this fortress established, I will make sure to spend the entire night with you,” Mathew leaned forward and whispered directly into the girl’s ear. “And during that night, I will both make you learn all my kinks,” he continued to whisper as he placed his hands on the girl’s waist, “and will gladly learn about all of yours too.”

Due to Nadia straddling Mathew, they could both feel the reactions of the other. As such, Mathew could feel how Nadia’s hips trembled, making her panties-covered crotch rub against the small tent he ended up pitching.

And reversely, Nadia had to be aware of Mathew’s natural reaction as well!

“Yosh!” Nadia suddenly shouted as she brought both of her hands and slapped both of her cheeks.

Before the redness could even appear in the parts of her face she had just struck, Nadia suddenly stood up.

For a moment, she balanced on her weak knees to keep her stability. And once she was done, she reached out with her hand.

“Come,” she said in a voice that didn’t allow for any refusal. “Don’t we have a fortress to establish?” she asked with a small smirk, only to grab Mathew’s hand on her own and leverage her body to the back, helping the young man stand up.

“Sure thing,” Mathew smiled when he realized just how much he managed to rest in just those few minutes they spent talking. “But there is one more thing that I want to do before that,” he added before peeling his eyes away from the girl and then closing them shut.

Mathew remained frozen in place for a moment. And then, he opened his mouth only to utter a short sentence.

“Donate three levels to my first wife,” he ordered, repeating the very same command he had used in the background so far.

The main difference was obvious. Contrary to all the former times Mathew used those words, this time, he had someone to actually hear them.

“Huh?” Nadia shrugged, surprised by Mathew’s sudden words. Yet, her shock was nothing when compared to the ordeal Mathew’s own words put him through.

‘What the hell?’ he thought when his system window finally showed some differences.

‘Is this the wives development mechanic I received a way back?’ he thought while staring at the new set of data he didn’t expect to see.

[Wife #1]

[Age: 19]

[Level: 13+12]

[Race: Half-zombie]

[Class: First Wife – Class 1]

[Status: Exhausted]

[Level – 24]

[Vitality – 73]

[Brawn – 70]

[Agility – 64]

[Mind – 10]

[Arcane – 25]

[Total – 242(90 gifted)(30 free)]

The first obvious change was in the girl’s level. Back a second ago, when Mathew took a glance, it was still a combined twenty-one with nine levels added from him gifting them in the past.

But now…

Not only did Nadia’s level raise, but Mathew could now see her precise statistics, the same ones he could see about himself!

“Dear, I’m going to need to ask you several questions now,” Mathew said in a serious tone as he placed his hands on the girl’s shoulder… Only to drop his own ass back to the ground while pulling the girl back on his lap.

“What happened?” Nadia asked while worry flashed behind her eyes.

“It would take a while to explain… Or maybe not?” Mathew hesitated. He thought for a moment while burying his eyes in the sight of Nadia’s perfect cleavage, only to then raise his face and look the girl in her eyes.

“Right now, I can see not only your level but also all your statistics,” he explained.

“Statistics?” Nadia repeated the keyword she caught from what Mathew just said. “Like in those games you used to play?” she then asked for clarification.

“The RPG ones?” Mathew asked, raising his eyebrows high up his forehead when he suddenly understood a deeper meaning behind what the girl just said. “Didn’t you claim you would never waste your time on games?” he asked. “How could you know what those stats are if you never did play them?”

It was just a casual question, not something to be excessively worried about.

Or so, Mathew thought to the point when the girl suddenly turned her face away to the side and used both of her hands to hide it. Yet, Nadia was just a tad too slow. Too slow to hide the blush that appeared on her cheeks.

“So you did play them,” Mathew summed the situation up and allowed a small smile to appear on his lips.

“I just wanted to understand the things you like,” Nadia explained as if she was trying to excuse herself. “And when I thought about the possibility of the two of us playing together…”

The girl gulped her saliva down only to then raise her eyes and bravely establish eye contact with her husband.

“I was elated when I found out your in-game name. And if not for this apocalypse, I was going to ask if we could play together today,” she added, admitting to something that Mathew had no idea about.

“It’s a pity it all went down this way, then,” he replied in the only way he could somehow come up with. And then, just as Mathew’s confusion was about to settle in his soul, a small smirk appeared on his lips.

“If anything, there is one good thing about this entire situation,” Mathew said with a playful smile dancing on his lips. Lips that trembled due to the sheer amount of laughter that the young man had to hold back right now.

“And what could that be?” Nadia asked, still hiding her face in the palms of her hands.

“The fact that rather than nerding behind the screen, we ended up playing in ways I only ever dared to dream off!”
