The Marvel Rivals Season 1 mid-season update introduces new challenges, some straightforward, others a bit more cryptic. One such challenge requires reading Black Panther's lore: "The Blood of Kings." Let's break down how to tackle this literary quest.
Previous Marvel Rivals challenges often involved in-game hunts. The Season 1 Chronoverse Saga Achievements, for example, sent players on various unique missions. However, the Midnight Features II quest changes things up, requiring a bit of reading.
Each character in Marvel Rivals features a lore section detailing their backstory and world. This optional lore provides extra details about your favorite heroes. To access it, simply navigate to the Heroes screen in the main menu and select the Lore section.

Accessing Black Panther's lore, "The Blood of Kings," is simple. Go to Black Panther's hero page; the lore is readily available. Clicking on it completes the challenge. Alternatively, the Midnight Features II screen offers a "Go" button next to the challenge, directly linking you to the lore and allowing you to claim your reward.
While completing the challenge is straightforward, the lore itself is worth reading. It tells a compelling story of T'Challa's journey to a parallel New York to seek Reed Richards' help in curing a Heart-Shaped Herb-related ailment. His quest encounters resistance from vampires, culminating in a confrontation with Dracula, leaving T'Challa facing a difficult choice between self-preservation and saving countless lives.
