CHAPTER 136 - Raven’s Realization.

Raven stepped into the war room—or, well, what passed for one. 

It was technically just a big round table surrounded by his chaotic little squad of weirdos, squirrel generals, and two princesses pretending not to stare at him.

He dropped a small box on the table with a dramatic thud.

Everyone stared.

Then he crossed his arms and declared, "Loot drop."

Alex gasped audibly. "Is it snacks?"

"No," Raven replied flatly.

"…Is it a cursed acorn that grants you the power of 'squirrel whispering' for thirty minutes?"

"Again, no."

"Oh," Alex deflated, looking deeply disappointed. 

Nibbles, perched majestically on his head, offered a consoling acorn pat.

Jessy leaned in, already sizing up the box. "So, what's the haul?"

Raven cracked his knuckles. "Five items. All high-level. All game-changing. Now, it's allocation time."
