Chapter Two Hundred and Forty-Seven – "Crow's Escape Post"
As tension brewed across the server with Lyravex's possessive post and Rose's viral kiss photo, the world chat exploded once more.
But then—
Crow posted.
A rare occurrence. He almost never spoke in world chat. But this time, a simple message appeared:
[System Announcement – Crow]:
"Left them all arguing in the pocket dimension. Activated stealth class perk and used Shadow Step through five locked doors. I'm in a goblin cave now. Peace."
[World Chat]
DeadlyPixie: Bro ESCAPED?!
IronWall: Man just ninja'd away from a harem civil war.
WitchHazel: He's literally the protagonist of a reverse dating sim and speedran the stealth route.
RoseFan: ROSE IS GONNA LOSE IT.
LyravexCultist: He thinks he's safe.
Meanwhile, in the fortress…
Lyravex read the post. Slowly. Calmly.
Then she stood. "He thinks shadows can hide him."
Rose blinked, fury building. "He left?!"
At the same time, in a dark goblin cave…
Crow sighed, sitting by a small fire surrounded by loot piles. "I've got maybe twenty minutes before one of them tears a dimensional hole through space to find me."
He wasn't wrong. A flicker of arcane energy sparked in the air behind him.
The countdown had begun.
