Watching the girl skillfully dodge the waves of oncoming monsters, maneuvering her character to slip through gaps and counterattack in passing, Leon couldn’t help but marvel. This girl named Sophia clearly had a natural talent for gaming.
Of course, it was also possible Sophia had beaten this game countless times already. Judging from her nimble evasion and deft use of items, she was clearly a veteran.
“How long have you been playing this game? And you’re stuck on level three?” Noticing the appreciative look in Leon’s eyes, Sophia’s lips curled in a faint smirk—though she quickly suppressed it—before casually asking.
“First time playing. The enemy spam later on gets pretty intense, and I’m not used to it yet,” Leon replied.
“First time?” Sophia was so surprised by this answer that she failed to dodge in time, letting a minor enemy take one of her lives.
“Yeah. I’ve been busy with other things, so I haven’t had much time for games. Today I was just waiting for you and Lewis to get back. Got bored, so I decided to try this one for the first time,” Leon explained.
“You don’t like video games?” Sophia asked in return.
“I do, but most of them just aren’t to my taste,” Leon admitted. Back in his old world, he had been something of a gaming fiend—over four hundred titles in his Steam library, and not from free giveaways either. He had bought them because he genuinely liked them.
But in this world, computers were still in their infancy. Hoping for high-quality, story-rich AAA games was basically a fantasy. So Leon had little interest in the games available here.
