Villain Ch 1497. World Raid Challenge
Allen stared at the notification, blinking once. Then twice. "Wait… what?"
Another ping followed.
[You are being directly challenged. A world raid event has been triggered.]
Allen stared at the red-glowing notification lingering in the air like a warning flare. His vision was filled with the system text.
He didn't move.
Not at first.
Then, after a beat, a soft sound broke the stillness—barely more than a breath, a low scoff escaping from the corner of his mouth.
Then a chuckle.
Then it grew. Low, unhurried, a dark kind of humor bubbling up from his chest, laced with disbelief and a sharp thrill. His chuckle turned into a quiet laugh, then deeper, and darker still—like something ancient inside him had just been fed.
"Oh... oh that's rich," Allen muttered to himself, brushing his fingers through his tousled hair as the laugh died down.
