Vol.2 Chapter 20: Got it
"So, this is the place where you all spend your time?" Iono asked, but Nemona shook her head.
"This place is Joy's," She said, and both Iono and Grusha stepped back and looked around in shock.
The girls' habitats were almost three miles wide thanks to Cryo spending my points for me. I would have to make sometime later tonight before bed to go over everything that he had done, but I had briefly scanned everything.
"You mean that we each get a place this big?" Grusha asked, turning to me, and I grinned.
"This is only at level five, and there are still five more levels. From the current rate, I think that they will grow as big as they need to be. Some people's habitats haven't gotten much bigger, since they don't need bigger spaces, but for someone like you... I am sure it will be better to just show you," I explained, and then offered my hand out.
"Hey!" Iono shouted. "What about me?"
I laughed. "Let me show Grusha first since you forced your way in before her. You can go check out the other girls' places, and I will come and find you wherever you are."
Iono sighed but then nodded with a smile. "Sounds good. Good luck with him, Grusha!"
Grusha blushed and then reached to take my hand, but I pulled back. "Just wait," I said and then snapped my fingers. A pair of blue sweats and a white long-sleeve shirt materialized over Gursha's bathing suit, and she let out a sigh as my change of clothes appeared on me.
"Thank you. I don't like being so forward, but Iono said it would be best to use it to get your attention," Grusha said as I took her hand.
I wanted to tell her that she had most definitely got my attention, but I just told her to close her eyes instead. When we opened them, we were standing on the side of a mountain.
"How?" Was all Grusha could ask as she looked around. The sun was out and it was only slightly cold, just the way Grusha liked it. Snow-capped peaks stretched in all directions, and a series of trails wove through the rugged landscape. A glistening lake shimmered in the distance, surrounded by a thick forest of evergreen trees. The air was crisp and invigorating.
That text was more calm than I expected and made me more suspicious, but I needed to get Iono settled in. I closed my eyes and made my way back to Joy's habitat, where the rest of the group was waiting. Iono had taken the opportunity to explore everyone's places, and she was practically bouncing with excitement.
"Landon! This place is amazing! Joy's habitat is so cozy, and Lusamine's is like a research paradise! I can't wait to see what mine will be like!" Iono exclaimed, her energy infectious.
"Come on. Take my hand and close your eyes," I said, and Iono skipped over to me.
When we opened them, we were standing on the top floor of a towering luxury skyscraper. The view was nothing short of breathtaking, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing a panoramic view of a bustling cityscape below. The sun cast a golden hue over the horizon, and the lights from the buildings twinkled like stars.
The interior was a streamer’s paradise. The open-concept living space was modern and sleek, with high-tech gadgets and equipment strategically placed around the room. A state-of-the-art streaming setup occupied one corner, complete with multiple monitors, professional-grade cameras, and a variety of colorful LED lights that could be customized to match any mood or theme. The walls were adorned with posters of iconic moments and famous streamers, creating an inspiring and energetic atmosphere.
In another corner, a cozy lounge area featured plush sofas and bean bags, perfect for relaxing or brainstorming new content ideas. A large bookshelf was filled with gaming and streaming-related books, alongside a collection of figurines and memorabilia. The kitchen was equally impressive, equipped with the latest appliances and a fully stocked fridge with an array of snacks and drinks.
Iono's eyes widened with delight as she took in her new habitat. "Landon, this is incredible! It's everything I could have ever dreamed of and more!"
I smiled, pleased with her reaction. "I wanted to make sure you had everything you needed to create amazing content. You deserve the best, Iono."
She spun around, her excitement palpable. "This is perfect! I can't wait to start streaming from here. Thank you so much, Landon!"
"You're welcome," I replied warmly. "I'm glad you like it. Feel free to explore and make yourself at home. If you need anything, just let me know."
Iono hugged me tightly, her gratitude evident. "I will! This is going to be amazing!"
As she ran off to explore her new domain, I checked the time. It was getting closer to my meeting with Lusamine, and I didn't want to keep her waiting any longer. I said my goodbyes to the girls, making sure they were all settled in, and then teleported to Lusamine's habitat.
