Leon allowed himself the luxury of sleeping in on Saturday, feeling somewhat lazy after the intense focus he'd dedicated to his game over the past few weeks. Even though he had crafted only two sets of armor, the effort had been nothing short of extraordinary. The results, too, had exceeded his expectations in ways he hadn't anticipated.
