Leon sat comfortably in the driver's seat as he maneuvered the car through the city streets. The electric car humd with power, and its bright blue lights cut through the night. He couldn't help but smile, thoroughly enjoying the experience of driving such an advanced car. Freya let out a playful laugh. "So, how does it feel to have your own car, Leon?"
"Uhm..." Leon responded softly. "Honestly... it feels pretty normal... not that different."
"No way..." Freya shot back quickly. "Your face clearly shows you're loving it, liar!" she teased.
A few monts later, Freya continued, "How did you get so good at driving a car, even though you've never owned one before?"
"Well," Leon began. "I did drive a few tis at the store where I worked before, and I already had my license, so... I guess I just picked it up along the way."
"You're really good at picking things up easily, huh?"
"Really? Is that what you think? Maybe you're right... I just want sothing, and boom, suddenly, I'm good at it without any effort," he replied jokingly.
She tapped his waist. "I'm serious! I know you work hard, but still, you effortlessly master so many things..."
"I work really hard for it... it's not like everything gets handed to on a silver platter," he said.
Freya pinched his waist. "Are you teasing ? If you didn't get a silver spoon from the Goddess of Sloth, then what did you get, a diamond spoon?" she giggled.
"Good point... but why does sothing like this have to co when I'm already in my twenties?"
"Better late than never, Mr. Greedy," she said with a smile.
Leon had just returned from a training session at the Martial Arts Center and planned to squeeze in an hour for a coffee break. He invited Freya to join him, and soon, they arrived at the café. Inside, they got comfortable, ready to spend so ti chatting and enjoying each other's company over a cup of coffee.
Leon and Freya had spent their ti at the café discussing Kingdom Building. Freya's knowledge of the ga genre was impressive, and Leon nodded slowly, smiling as she explained with enthusiasm.
"Could you respond to my explanation with sothing other than 'Yes', huh?" Freya asked, raising an eyebrow.
Leon chuckled. "Yeah, I guess I don't have much more to add than 'Yes'. I'm completely blown away by your knowledge. It makes even more excited to visit Slumdon."
"Well then," Freya said with a grin. "Hurry up and finish your work, and we'll head to the town together."
After returning ho, Leon imrsed himself in researching the topic of Kingdom Building on the internet. He discovered that Kingdom Building encompasses a wide array of elents, each one interconnected and influencing the others.
Building a kingdom or even just a city, as he planned to do, was no simple task. It required serious commitnt, especially since Immortal Legacy was a completely different ga with unparalleled freedom and endless possibilities.
After reading nurous articles and guides, Leon realized that re research wouldn't suffice; he had to jump in and experience it firsthand. Engrossed in his studies, he continued researching until the morning sun began to peek through the sky.
"Leon... have you really been awake for 24 hours, both in and out of the ga?" Lily asked loudly as she prepared to leave for school.
"We can sleep inside the capsule while our consciousness roams the world of Yunatea. You know that, don't you, Lily?" he replied.
Lily chuckled. "I know, but still, you really work tirelessly. Alright then, take care. See you... bye," she said, waving as she left the room.
Leon took a deep breath and, after having breakfast, prepared once again to explore the world of Yunatea.

Broken logged back into Immortal Legacy, knowing he had an appointnt with mbers of the Ass Guild. A few days ago, he had received an invitation to join them for a dungeon exploration.
This would be a short dungeon run, lasting no more than two days, so he felt confident he could fit it into his schedule while still having ti to craft his new set of armors.
The invitation ca from Elincia, and since they agreed not to invite him to the party nor comnt on it, he had accepted. It just so happened that Livelywood would also be joining the party, which further intrigued him. He wanted to learn more about sword fighting and knew observing soone of Livelywood's caliber would be invaluable.
Broken had asked if they needed a tanker, as he was considering inviting Ivana to the party, but Elincia assured him that they already had a tanker.
"Did she invite Kingsley and lliandra too?" he wondered.
On a crisp morning in Dissidia Capital City, Broken walked towards the city gate when he spotted Elincia in the distance, waiting in her striking blue outfit, along with a few others. She waved to him enthusiastically from afar.
Broken quickened his pace, noticing four other players standing with her. Livelywood, donning his swordsman armor, stood out clearly beside a mage with black hair and a matching black outfit, nad Starfall. Next to them was a player clad in shining white armor, Skywarden, and his team partner, a woman wearing an assassin ninja outfit, Charlyn. "Hi, Broken, we've been waiting," Elincia called out.
"Hi, Elincia, Livelywood, Starfall... and..." he responded, trailing off as he looked at the others.
Starfall and Livelywood waved back at him. Skywarden, however, simply crossed his arms without acknowledging Broken while Charlyn stood silently, glancing his way.
Broken turned to Charlyn and waved. "Hi..."
Charlyn seed slightly startled, then nodded at him. "Hi..." she replied softly.
Elincia looked cheerful as she continued, "Are you sure this doesn't interfere with your tight schedule?" she asked with a giggle.
"No! It's okay. I'm actually excited you guys invited for a Dungeon Exploration. It's been a while since I've done this," he said enthusiastically. "What's the level of the dungeon again?"
"It's a level 200 dungeon. Can you handle it?"
"Yes... sure!" he replied casually.
"Skywarden will play the role of the tanker, Livelywood and Charlyn are our close-range fighters, I'll deal full magic damage, and Starfall will be versatile, handling damage, support, and healing. And you..." she paused with a smile. "You can be whatever you want, huh?"
"But this will be my first ti entering a level 200 dungeon. Please let know if I make any mistakes," Broken answered.
"I'll kill you if you make a fatal mistake!" Skywarden replied sternly.
Broken turned to him and nodded, wondering why Skywarden still seed unfriendly even now. Did Broken make a mistake towards him?
After ensuring all preparations were complete, they set off. Broken wore his old level 50 armor, but it was largely hidden by his Obsidian Shroud - Clothes, a costu he got from the Golden Age Company's Gacha tickets, so the low-level armor was hardly noticeable.
The journey to the dungeon was long, so they traveled by carriage. Broken joined the sa carriage because he wanted to be part of the strategy discussions during the trip. He sat on the right side, facing Elincia, who sat with Livelywood and Starfall. To Broken's left sat Charlyn, pushed by Skywarden, who wanted to avoid sitting next to Broken.
Broken turned to greet Charlyn and Skywarden, but Skywarden didn't glance his way, and
Charlyn kept her head down, avoiding direct eye contact with him. What's up with both of them? he wondered.
"Okay, Broken, I want to go over our strategy," Elincia began.
