Chapter 62: Chapter 62 - A Super Assistant
Leon stepped into the hotel room, which looked more like a luxurious apartment than a typical hotel room due to its spaciousness. His jaw dropped in awe as he tried to process what Freya had just said to him about 'welcome to your new stay.'
The room was elegantly decorated with sleek furniture made of contemporary materials such as glass and chrome. A single, glowing light fixture illuminated the entire area, creating an airy and open atmosphere.
There were several rooms that appeared to be bedrooms or separate living areas, giving the space a luxurious and spacious apartment-like feel. There was a central living area with a large TV, a kitchen, and a dining area.
Freya walked further into the room and waved for Leon to follow her. She silently showed him the various features of the room.
On one side, there were two game capsules that looked like the most advanced technology available at the time. These capsules were in a separate room specifically designed for gaming.
Freya moved closer to Leon. "Well? What do you think?"
Leon still looked confused. "What... is this?"
Freya handed him the key card with a warm smile. "Here you go," she said. "This room is yours for the next year. The company has made sure to provide anything and everything that could make your adventure more pleasurable. And one of the perks is this suite, which you can use as you like. You can move in here, and since there are multiple bedrooms, you can also bring your family-your sister and uncle. All services are provided, including laundry, breakfast, and lunch if you want. You can focus on playing the game without worrying about your daily needs."
Leon was still stunned, trying to process Freya's words which felt like a dream to him. Living in such a luxurious place was something he had never even dared to think about, even though he had secretly desired it.
"You can also have a private driver pick you up every day if you need to go anywhere- campus, vacation, anywhere! Consider him your personal chauffeur. While you can't drive the car yourself, you can go anywhere with the private driver who was with us earlier in the car," Freya explained enthusiastically.
Leon took a deep breath, still trying to wrap his mind around this incredible turn of events. "I don't even know what to say," he finally managed to utter.
Freya giggled at Leon's reaction. "Good, I managed to surprise you! I'm quite satisfied seeing your expression, Leon."
Leon nodded and took a deep breath. "Who would have thought I'd get something this luxurious, especially considering my life right now?"
Freya smiled kindly. "This kind of luck is really extraordinary. It's like winning the lottery among millions of people hoping for it."
She continued, "By the way, even though this room is a supporting facility from the company, you don't need to worry about being monitored. There are no surveillance cameras, and no one else from the company will come here. It's just me as your point of contact, and I'll personally relay any messages to you. So don't worry about anyone else intruding while you're enjoying your game. Also, I have a spare key to this room, so you can invite me in if you'd like. But don't worry, I won't just show up unannounced-I'll always let you know ahead of time if I'm planning on stopping by," she finished jokingly.
"Thanks, Freya," Leon said, then turned his attention to the two capsule devices in the room. "Two capsules in there, one for each of us?" he asked.
Freya nodded solemnly. "Yes, one for you and one for me if I need to go online from here. But of course, your sister can use it too."
They both entered the room, and Leon started inspecting the latest model of the capsule device. "This is truly amazing," he whispered.
Freya continued, "So, Leon, I think that's it. You can do whatever you want in this room. We can discuss more things if you'd like and even play the game together if you want."
Leon and Freya then made their way to the couch in the middle of the room. They began discussing in more detail some of the support Freya would provide him in the upcoming months.
"So... I'm sure you'll soon get used to living like this. That's why this suite is only provided for you for one year," she continued.
Leon turned to Freya, contemplating whether he could return to their Uncle Ben's house later or perhaps rent a place of his own for him and Lily.
"You'll be able to achieve something even greater than this within the next year," she added. "You'll understand how accessible these facilities will become as you progress in Immortal Legacy. So, make sure you utilize the blessing to its fullest potential, okay?"
Leon nodded slowly. "Yes, I'm determined to do that. And thanks to all of this, I can focus more on playing the game."
"Good, that's the spirit," Freya said, standing up and smiling with relief. "I know you have a dinner appointment with your family, right? So you can start using the personal driver and the car that's been provided for you."
"The car we just rode in?" he asked, puzzled.
"Yes, you can use that facility for the next year, not just for you but for your sister as well," she concluded.
Leon smiled and nodded before standing up and reaching for Freya's hand. They shook tightly and Freya smiled, meeting his gaze. "Hopefully, I can be of good help," she said.
"Thanks, Freya," replied Leon.

As the sun set, Lily and Uncle Ben were eagerly anticipating the dinner. After they had finished preparing, they were surprised by the arrival of a luxurious car. Leon jumped out of the car and quickly dashed inside without a word. After changing into a more sophisticated outfit, he beckoned Lily and Ben to join him. Without hesitation, they hopped into the car alongside
him.
"This is Alfred, my personal driver for the next year," Leon announced, which immediately left Lily and Ben in shock.
"Wait, Leon! Please explain," Lily exclaimed, eyes wide with surprise.
Leon then detailed his meeting with Freya and the various facilities provided by the game developer. He had to explain the whole story twice before Lily and Ben could fully believe it. "Wait... is what you're getting in the game really that serious for them to offer such special treatment?" Lily asked, puzzled.
Ben couldn't help but be stunned as well and suddenly felt useless in comparison. "That's so amazing, Leon! I feel even more useless now that you have all this," he said with a chuckle,
facing Leon.
Leon giggled too. "It's okay, Uncle Ben. Everyone has their own role."
"Yes, but I'm afraid my role for you two has ended here," Ben said, his tone turning
mockingly somber.
"Don't worry, Uncle Ben. With great power comes great responsibility, just like you always said," Leon replied with a grin.
"That's what Uncle Ben from Spider-Man said, not me. And don't go saying something like I need to die soon so you can transform into something great," Ben joked, putting his arm around Leon. "You have all the potential to become something special without my death being involved. Believe in yourself, Leon."
Lily laughed at the playful banter between them. The atmosphere was light and full of warmth as they headed out for their dinner together.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
