Chapter 104
The muscle-bound monster’s menacing threat and terrifying killing intent made the Elders squeak reflexively, their spines snapping straight as they hastily corrected their posture.
Their meager pride—once wielded to dominate the Martial Arts Community and debate who reigned supreme under heaven—had long since shattered beneath the cold iron hammer of capitalism and Ma Dong-tak’s overwhelming physical force.
“Chun-sam. The elders will be late for their shift. Hand out the work equipment immediately.”
“Yes, sir! Commencing 3D labor experience—the hellish safari tour equipment distribution! Hyaaaah!”
At Kim Chun-sam’s cheerful signal, a massive container in the corner of the warehouse burst open, spilling heavy equipment with a thunderous clatter.
Thick waterproof work suits specially manufactured to withstand the acidic saliva of demonic beasts, heavy rubber boots reaching to the knee, gas masks. And towering titanium shovels the height of an adult man, along with massive dung carriers crafted from super-alloy.
“Now then, gentlemen, your workplace starting today is Subspace Hospital Zone 3—colloquially known as the ‘Large Demonic Beast Grazing Safari.’ From this moment forward, your enemies are neither Evil Sect disciples nor Tower demons. They are the beloved excrement of our demonic beasts, pouring down like mountains at dozens of tons per day.”
The Elders received their allocated titanium shovels and dung carriers, their expressions vacant as they stared at one another’s faces.
“A-are we truly to clean up the feces of these wretched beasts?”
“It appears so. Everything we have built over a lifetime… crumbles in this manner.”
Hearing this, Jin-hyuk added an explanation.
“Not at all, honored elders. If you apply the inner strength you’ve cultivated your entire lives to this work, you will not only repay your debt—you will secure positions here at our hospital. You will step beyond the Murim Alliance and emerge into a far broader world.”
“…Pardon?”
At that, the Murim Alliance Elders gripped their dung shovels anew. It was a historic and tragic moment—masters who had spent their lives wielding blades and cultivating the Way, their weathered hands now grasping shovels instead of swords.
Subspace Hospital Zone 3.
The independent space connected to the 5th basement floor of the Gangnam Hospital Main Building via Dimensional Gate consisted of vast grasslands and dense primordial jungle far exceeding the expanse of most national parks.
An artificial sun controlled by the system cast warm light across the sky.
The meticulously calculated temperature and humidity created a perfect ecosystem for massive demonic beasts to roam.
Yet proportional to the enormous scale, the feeding and excretion volumes of the demonic beasts housed here far exceeded human imagination.
Splooooosh—!
Kwaaaaang!
A roar like a colossal Niagara Falls cascading down. The ‘mutant rhinoceros demonic beast’ that a two-headed ogre the size of a house kept as a pet lifted its tail high.
Then it unleashed an enormous quantity of excrement onto the verdant grassland without restraint.
The sheer weight caused the ground to vibrate faintly.
Noxious green acidic gas rose in wisps, and the unbearable stench made the Murim Alliance Elders, their gas masks secured tightly, retch continuously.
“Ughhhh…! Bleeeech! Cough, cough! Is this truly the stench that can emerge from a living creature’s anus?! Even in the Evil Sect’s Blood Demon Cave, where rotting corpses formed mountains, such a smell never arose!”
“I, the patriarch of the Dang Family, who spent a lifetime cultivating poison resistance and reached the realm of immunity to all toxins, cannot even open my eyes properly! Lethal toxic acidic gas is mixed into the feces! The gas mask filters are already beginning to dissolve!”
“No time for whining! Hyaaaah! Large excretion detected at coordinates right side of Breeding Pen 3! Before the acidic components corrode the expensive grassland substrate, collect and cleanse within three minutes! If you stop moving for more than ten seconds, tonight’s side dish will be limited to radish kimchi alone, and immediate salary deduction will be implemented!”
A harsh mechanical voice blared from Kim Chun-sam’s megaphone flying noisily through the air. The robot’s lens was monitoring the Elders’ every movement.
“Arghhhh! That I, as the sect leader of the Wudang Sect, the Great Mountain and Northern Dipper of all under heaven… should bow to this beast’s excrement!”
The Wudang Elder raised his titanium shovel with both hands, tears of blood streaming down his face. Pure Taoist energy surged from his dantian, Taiji true qi gathering fiercely at the shovel’s sharp edge. In ordinary circumstances, it would be the legendary martial art capable of splitting massive steel boulders in two—the Taiji Wisdom Blade.
“Receive this! Taiji… Wisdom… no, Feces Splitting!”
Fwooosh—!
Ssshhhhck!
With the Wudang Elder’s full-force shout and the shovel strike that followed, the colossal excrement of the rhinoceros demonic beast split cleanly into exactly four pieces. The cut surface was smooth and perfect, as if carved by a legendary blade. It was a poignant moment—the pinnacle of martial arts applied to feces division.
“Excellent! Don’t let it seep into the ground! I shall collect it!”
Following suit, the Beggar Sect Elder who had been waiting leaped lightly into the air, shouldering the massive super-alloy dung carrier. What he displayed was the Beggar Sect’s supreme lightness technique and a footwork method whose trajectory even skilled masters could not follow—the Eight Immortals Wandering Step.
With movements that seemed unsteady yet mysteriously elusive, he caught the split excrement chunks that the Wudang Elder had tossed skyward, receiving them into the carrier in an instant. Not a single piece of filth touched the ground.
“Kugh… to think the technique of Ten Thousand Flowers Blooming, which scatters hundreds of hidden weapons, would be applied to containing such filth… Honored sect leaders of old, forgive your unworthy disciple in the depths below!”
The Beggar Sect Elder, tears of blood streaming down his face, caught the excrement mid-air—a sight that somehow evoked a strange solemnity.
The elders, struggling to survive in their harsh and brutal labor conditions, were channeling the very essence of martial arts they had spent lifetimes perfecting into a single purpose: disposing of feces faster and more efficiently.
Kang Jin-hyuk’s ruthless pressure was awakening the latent potential of these martial arts masters in the most peculiar of directions.
“Buaang! Absolutely magnificent, honored elders! Your shoveling technique carries such sharp sword energy! Your collection speed and accuracy have improved by 15 percent compared to yesterday! If you maintain this pace working eighteen hours a day, in ten years and six months you’ll finally be able to start paying off the ‘interest’ on your debt! Fighting!”
At Kim Chun-sam’s backhanded praise, the elders simply swallowed their hot tears in silence and threw themselves toward the next pile of excrement.
Behind the glittering facade of South Korea’s finest—no, the world’s finest—monster medical hospital lay the blood, sweat, and tears of these wretched 3D industry workers, their martial prowess seeping through like fertilizer.
At that same moment, on the ground level—completely separated from the hellish safari below—the main lobby of the 1st Floor of the Arcana Medical Center’s main building.
In stark contrast to the desolate excrement field of moments before, this space overflowed with the refinement and elegance reminiscent of Dubai’s most luxurious five-star hotels.
The pristine white-toned Italian marble flooring, the finest quality, gleamed transparently without a speck of dust.
Moreover, the air was gently perfumed with a subtle blend of lavender and chamomile, designed to ease the anxiety of patients.
Finally, at the center of the lobby, an indoor fountain with clear water infused with mana produced a refreshing sound.
“Set up the press control line outside the revolving doors at the lobby entrance. We’ve already configured the system to automatically block any unauthorized broadcast drone footage or unauthorized mana scans, so rest assured. Security personnel, please double-check the VIP waiting area access routes and verify that the sterilization equipment is operational.”
Standing in the center of the lobby, directing the staff with perfect coordination, was Yoo Yi-soo.
Instead of her usual comfortable casual wear or nursing uniform, today she was dressed in a tailored dark navy suit that fit her perfectly, her hair neatly pinned up, and sharp steel-rimmed glasses that gave her the perfect appearance of a career woman and executive.
A wireless earpiece in her ear continuously fed her reports about situations both inside and outside the hospital without pause.
“Head Nurse. Or rather, Director Yoo. It seems a large number of people claiming to be from the Hunter Association and health department officials have arrived at the main entrance? They’re demanding entry with a warrant.”
At the main security officer’s urgent question, Yoo Yi-soo’s eyes gleamed coldly as she curved her lips into a chilling smile.
“Strictly control any outsiders not on the reservation list, regardless of their status. Tell them that even if the Hunter Association chairman himself arrives, he can draw a number and wait in the waiting area. A warrant? Check whether it’s a veterinary inspection warrant, and if not, turn them away. This isn’t Hunter Association jurisdiction—it’s private property and an independent monster medical facility. If they cause a disturbance, I’ll immediately report them to the police for business interference and causing public alarm about monsters. And call Director Ma from the basement—he’s in the middle of his workout.”
“Yes, understood!”
The staff moved with relief, reassured by Yoo Yi-soo’s firm and intellectual charisma. Kang Jin-hyuk was the ‘heart’ of this hospital and its overwhelming ‘profit engine’.
Meanwhile, Yoo Yi-soo was the perfect ‘brain’ of this massive organization, the invincible ‘shield’ that kept it protected from external attacks and running without a single error.
Thanks to her ironclad defense and administrative prowess, Jin-hyuk could focus solely on treatment and payment collection without worrying about troublesome media relations or legal disputes. They were truly a couple perfectly suited to the phrase “two halves of one whole”.
Meanwhile, in a quiet glass-walled corner of the waiting area, Luna was quietly working her magic.
“It’s okay, good girl. There were so many unfamiliar scents that you felt anxious and scared, didn’t you? That’s right, this is a safe place. Let’s calm down a bit. I won’t let it hurt.”
Luna gently and carefully stroked the chin of a C-rank monster, a ‘Blade Cat’, whose fur was bristling with anxiety and whose fangs were bared in a low growl. The Blade Cat’s tail was sharp as a blade—a ferocious beast that could sever a normal person’s fingers just by approaching it.
But the moment Luna’s small hand touched its forehead, the Blade Cat’s sharp tail slowly lowered to the ground, and the tension in its taut muscles began to dissolve as if by magic. Soon it was making soft purring sounds and rubbing its head against Luna’s lap.
This was the moment Luna’s unique trait, [Monster Empathy (Grade A)], shone brilliantly. The warm and stable forest energy emanating from her very existence suppressed the raging instincts of the monsters and restored their peace.
The hospital lobby, where dozens of monster patients made hypersensitive by pain had to be gathered in one space, remained calm rather than descending into chaos—entirely thanks to Luna, who served as a human tranquilizer.
[The reputation of Arcana Medical Center is spreading rapidly throughout the local community and the Hunter community.]
[Current Hospital Reputation (Recognition): Lv.3 (Rising Maverick)]
[Reputation Bonus: Monsters experience 10% less psychological resistance when approaching the hospital. Staff members’ monster control ability increases slightly.]
Checking the translucent system window floating in the air, Jin-hyuk descended to the 1st Floor lobby via escalator, his hands thrust into his white coat pockets, wearing a deeply satisfied smile.
Perfect operational staff, cutting-edge medical facilities, unpaid labor force running smoothly in the basement, and beyond that door, thick wallets—no, poor patients—ready to pour in endlessly. Everything was perfect this morning.
“Buaang! Master! It’s exactly 9 AM! Server time synchronization complete! Shall I announce the official opening time?”
Kim Chun-sam, who had launched holographic fireworks in the corner of the lobby, shouted loudly.
“Do it. Open the doors. Time to rake in the money.”
With Jin-hyuk’s dry but eager signal, the massive hospital’s main doors, which had been firmly shut, smoothly slid open left and right with a gentle mechanical sound.
Just as hundreds of reporters stationed outside the police line and hunters accompanied by monsters were about to rush in with camera flashes and cheers—
“Grrrrrrr BOOM—!!!”
Suddenly, in the middle of the clear Gangnam Boulevard, an enormous roar like a deafening thunderbolt split the air.
Crack!
Crash!
A brilliant bolt of azure lightning split the dry sky, striking the asphalt with merciless force. A colossal shadow of a beast trampled through street trees and traffic lights alike, charging toward the hospital entrance like a creature possessed. Reinforced glass shattered into countless fragments, marble floors cracked and splintered, sending debris scattering in all directions.
“Kyaaahhh!”
“W-what?! The monster defense line is breached?! Did a gate rupture?!”
In an instant, the festive atmosphere of the main lobby transformed into absolute chaos. Reporters and waiting personnel scattered in panic, their screams piercing the air as they fled in opposite directions.
At the center of the destructive blue lightning stood a colossal wolf-shaped beast, its entire body crackling with high-voltage sparks that hissed and sizzled.
Its massive frame was three times larger than a typical Siberian husky. Blue electricity coursed along its muscular spine.
Despite the layered special alloy muzzles clamped around its jaws, its eyes blazed crimson with bloodshot fury as it bared its fangs at the terrified people around it.
It resembled a time bomb on the verge of detonating its mana in a catastrophic self-destruct.
A man burst into the hospital, his hands gripping a thick titanium chain—the beast’s leash—so tightly his fingers seemed ready to tear, his body nearly dragged across the floor by the raging creature.
Black sunglasses obscured half his face, while his expensive hunter-grade artifact suit, worth tens of millions of won, hung in tatters and covered in soot as he gasped for breath.
He was Lee Shin-woo, the guild master of Zeus—one of South Korea’s three greatest guilds and renowned for its unparalleled military might.
“Huff… huff…! Director Kang! Where is Director Kang Jin-hyuk?! Do something about our Thunder right now! Since this morning, he’s been unable to control his lightning and raging like a madman! No amount of potions helps! At this rate, his mana circuits will rupture and we’ll all be obliterated in the middle of the city!”
Guild Master Lee Shin-woo’s desperate cry, his neck veins bulging with urgency. For an S-rank guild master of South Korea’s caliber to abandon all pretense of dignity and his guild’s image, dragging a beast directly to the emergency room like this—the gravity of the situation was unmistakable.
While hunters, bodyguards, and journalists around him recoiled in terror, fearful of electrocution, Kang Jin-hyuk alone stepped forward with unhurried composure, his white coat billowing behind him.
Behind his glasses, his pupils flashed brilliant gold as the system’s ‘Eye of Providence’ began a precise scan of the raging Thunder Wolf’s entire body.
[Target: Thunder Wolf – A-rank Beast]
[Status: Right hind leg—complex compound fracture of patella and severed mana circuit. Sympathetic nervous system overload from extreme pain. Cortisol levels exceeded critical threshold.]
I licked my lips thoughtfully. The leg was broken—and the fracture around the joint was devastatingly complex. But what concerned me far more than simple pain was the collision between that vicious stress hormone flooding the beast’s cerebral cortex and the severed mana circuits.
Jin-hyuk’s lips curved into a subtle smile.
This wasn’t a simple surgical case of scalpel and sutures. It required simultaneous psychological analysis of the beast, resolution of its suppressed trauma, realignment of its displaced fascia and bones, and reconnection of its severed circuits—an extraordinarily complex case demanding both advanced physical therapy and behavioral intervention.
In other words, a premium patient had walked through the door on my clinic’s opening day—one who could legitimately be charged fees substantial enough to drain the entire Zeus Guild’s budget. A golden goose, in the most capitalistic sense.
“Please calm yourself, Guild Master Lee Shin-woo. If the guardian remains this anxious, the patient will absorb that tension directly.”
I raised both hands and pulled on latex gloves with practiced precision. Then, standing in the midst of the electrical chaos, I flashed my signature smile—one brimming with capitalistic confidence and leisure.
“Our Arcana Medical Center’s most distinguished VIP patient on opening day. What an honor. Based on my scan, this case won’t be resolved with a single injection. As the Zeus Guild Master, you surely understand that our fee schedule is quite, quite expensive?”
Silver-rimmed glasses gleamed, reflecting the blue lightning in the chaos—a veterinarian’s spectacles shining bright on the opening morning of Arcana Medical Center.
