Chapter : Chapter 10K Special: “A Day Off for Raven”
The Nihilos System shut up for once.
No dungeons.
No godly relics.
No AI trying to delete him.
Just… sunshine.
Raven woke up to Ava tugging his sleeve. She had already burned breakfast and declared it perfect.
> Ava: "You're eating all of it. I cooked with love. And chaos."
He groaned but smiled.
In the background, Sol was chasing a cat that had stolen one of his shoes. Again.
The guild was on mandatory holiday.
The guild rookies tried camping in the backyard.
One accidentally summoned a bee-type elemental that now ran a black-market honey shop.
Raven sipped tea on the rooftop, in his hoodie and slippers, staring at the sky with the System silenced.
> "So... we made it to ten thousand views, huh?"
He smirked.
Didn't know who he was talking to.
Didn't care.
A portal opened.
He threw a shoe into it before it finished forming.
> "Not today."
The portal groaned... and vanished.
They had a cake later that night — Ava made it. It was somehow edible this time.
Sol gave a speech that made no sense.
The rookies argued over who was cooler: Raven or the honey bee elemental.
Raven voted for the bee.

Later That Night...
He looked out the window. Peaceful.
The system blinked softly:
> [No warnings. No threats. Just... congrats.]
Raven smiled faintly.
> "Let's keep it going, huh?"
---
No gods appeared. No glitches. No new class awakenings.
Just laughter. Warm lights.
And a moment where everyone… was happy.
The next morning after their peaceful celebration, Raven was halfway through brushing his teeth when his reflection smirked back at him.
> "You think that's it? 10k and done?"
Raven squinted. "Nah. I know how this world works."
Suddenly, Ava burst into the bathroom holding a scroll.
> "Raven! Someone sent you this—it smells like... divine cheese."
> "Nope." He flushed and walked out.

Downstairs: Chaos Begins
Sol was standing in the living room, surrounded by boxes.
> Raven: "...Why are there 37 boxes labeled 'Doom Penguin Eggs'?"
> Sol: "Limited-time item drop. Couldn't resist."
> Raven: "Why are they ticking?"
BOOM.
Mini penguins shot out, wearing sunglasses and singing idol songs.

Meanwhile, at the Guild HQ
The rookies set up a "Thank You, 10K Readers!" wall.
They signed messages like:
"We only almost died 26 times! Worth it!"
"Still afraid of Raven, but we love him."
"If you're reading this… tell the system to give us snacks."
Raven walked in, looked at the wall, and actually… chuckled.
> "I guess... this weird life is becoming home."
---
A Sudden System Message Blinks
> [World Threat: None]
[Emotional Threat: Birthday Reminder — Ava's Tomorrow]
[Emergency Protocol: Gift Panic Activated]
Raven froze.
> "Oh no. I forgot the one thing more dangerous than a dungeon."
---
Last Scene: Raven's Confession Booth (Sorta)
That night, he sat on the rooftop again, hoodie half-zipped, sky full of stars.
> "To the ones reading this... thanks. You stuck through the voids, glitches, betrayals, gods, game devs, bees... and whatever I am now."
He raised a soda can.
> "Here's to the chaos to come. Just... don't make me babysit those penguins again."
