Clay's body stiffened the moment the system screen appeared before his eyes, the bright letters flashing again and again as if something truly urgent had happened.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Emergency! Emergency! Emergency!
He sat up from his bed in an instant, his previous sense of calm completely gone. His brows knitted tightly as he stared at the floating screen.
What now?
The system did not delay.
Ding!
The host's Villain Replacement almost died.
The host's Villain Replacement almost died.
Clay blinked once, then twice, before his expression twisted in disbelief.
What?
Then his voice rose, filled with irritation.
It has nothing to do with me!
He threw his hands up in frustration, pacing across the room as if he could somehow escape the floating screen.
"I already said it, right? I am not part of that nonsense anymore. I escaped that fate. That so called Villain Replacement, whatever that is, has nothing to do with me!"
The system responded immediately, its tone unchanged.
