Chapter 87
I lifted my trembling hands.
Just as I was about to open the cap of my precious panacea.
⟦”This championship victory is undoubtedly the Main Organization’s Achievement, so why do you dare slander me with such wicked words?!”⟧
What is this now.
“Ah, shut up already! I need to fix my leg….”
As I glared irritably at the Spirit Communication Window, I noticed a strange figure next to Kkolkkalpi.
A man with long crimson hair like a lion’s mane and dark skin—at first glance, he reeked of an exceptionally powerful warrior.
‘Wow, he’s handsome.’
My eyes widened involuntarily at the sight of this fiery man’s physique.
Unlike Kkolkkalpi, who combined idol-like beauty with decent manners, this one exuded raw masculine intensity—a fierce warrior through and through.
⟦”How is it? The face of the strongest and most superior warrior in your world.”⟧
“…An insect.”
⟦”W-what?! Why such harsh words?! What is the problem?!”⟧
“Why do you have seven eyes.”
Three on the left, three on the right, and one on the forehead—seven in total.
Disgusting.
His skin wasn’t even brown; it was a sickly bluish-black that screamed inhuman the moment you laid eyes on it.
He looked like a final boss straight out of some famous manga.
‘These creatures really aren’t human. Do they customize themselves somewhere the way we create game characters?’
Kkolkkalpi burst into laughter.
⟦”Puhahahaha! An insect! Ahahaha! You should’ve researched modern humanity better! If you show up covered in eyeballs like the Main Organization, humans will have a heart attack!”⟧
He had a point.
Red Star’s seven eyes glared fiercely at Kkolkkalpi.
⟦”Did it seem like I hadn’t researched? It is clearly written in this realm’s most famous scripture. Noble celestial beings possess multiple eyes.”⟧
A famous scripture, he says.
That sounds suspiciously like the Bible.
“Did you actually read that correctly? Every time angels show up looking like that, the line they use is this: ‘Be not afraid.'”
⟦”….”⟧
⟦”Ahahahahaha! You picked something grotesque and now you’re telling me not to be afraid!”⟧
Kkolkkalpi was laughing hysterically.
⟦”Insect! Seven-eyed insect!”⟧
⟦”Shut your mouth!”⟧
Watching them both bicker in human form felt like watching a comedy sketch from some boy band variety show.
‘The inhuman tag has been added….’
But more importantly.
“Phew.”
The time had come.
I took a deep breath and opened the cap of my panacea.
Pop!
Glug, glug, glug.
I shook the glass bottle, scraping every last drop of liquid pooled at the bottom down my throat before setting it down.
Thump. Thump.
One second.
Two seconds.
“….”
After ten seconds had passed like that.
I’d used the item, and it was infuriatingly frustrating that absolutely nothing was happening.
“What the hell….”
Just as curses were about to spill out.
Throb.
“!”
My left knee gradually grew hot.
Crack.
From my bones, from my leg, there was a distinctly clear movement.
Gulp.
‘Is… is this really working?’
The reason no healer, no matter how skilled, could fix my leg was because in the past, my leg had shattered and the bones had knitted together incorrectly.
Since the wound itself had already finished healing, there was essentially no way to fix it.
Crack. Crackle.
Therefore, to truly fix my leg, this was the answer.
‘My bones are being reconstructed!’
There was almost no pain.
Within the intense heat, the problematic leg bones deformed and rearranged themselves.
Unable to tear my eyes from my leg.
Flinch.
“!”
Now I realized the heat was rising not just from my leg, but from my shoulder, neck, and lower back as well.
Pop, pop, pop.
My spine straightened, my forward-jutting neck naturally corrected itself, and my hunched shoulders bloomed open like a flower.
Along my increasingly straightened spine, a scorching sensation surged upward.
‘A panacea!’
The item’s name wasn’t called a panacea for nothing.
Judging by its price—how wickedly expensive it was—the panacea was an item even more costly than “Hunter Awakening,” which society regarded as nearly a “life reversal” and lottery jackpot.
Crackle, crack.
Even my uninjured leg twitched as something balanced itself out.
‘It’s worth every coin! It really does heal all ailments in the body. Isn’t this practically a complete transformation?’
Pop, crack.
Not only was my problematic leg being healed, but my entire body, which had become imbalanced because of it, was regaining perfect equilibrium.
Forward neck posture, spinal curvature, lumbar disc herniation, cervical disc herniation, and everything else.
Left alone in the Semi-basement, I had shrunk into myself endlessly, yet every physical ailment that seemed irreversible throughout my life had vanished.
“….”
I stood there in a daze.
It was over.
Suddenly, I felt as though I had grown taller.
‘My eye level is higher than before.’
If my legs, waist, neck, and entire body had all straightened out, it would be stranger if I hadn’t grown taller.
Whoosh!
I rushed toward the mirror.
“!”
I intended to check my height and body proportions, but the first thing that caught my eye was my face.
‘Incredible.’
The acne was gone.
The grotesque acne scars that had covered my entire face and the blackheads that had clustered densely around my forehead and nose like sesame seeds had vanished as if erased by an eraser.
The dark circles beneath my eyes had completely disappeared, and my entire complexion was clear and radiant.
My skin was like porcelain.
‘Insane, insane, insane, insane!’
I had been deliberating whether to treat the acne first, but I was right not to touch it.
A universal panacea.
“Wow! The effects are absolutely crazy!”
It was a true universal panacea that solved every physical problem in my body.
But more than that—my legs.
I put weight on my left foot, then on my right foot.
Bounce. Bounce.
Thud! Thud!
“It works, it works. It really works!”
My legs weren’t just healed—I had regained perfect balance.
“My legs are back—!!”
With my body condition at its peak, I felt as though I had returned to my prime.
Insane.
“Ahhhhhhh—!!”
Incredible.
Though it required paid currency, a miracle had occurred.
⟦”Ahem! Of course it works—didn’t I say I’d fix it right away? Kahahaha! You should be grateful that I poured coins like water!”⟧
“Hehehehe! Hahahaha!”
⟦”I was the one who performed in the Tournament, yet you’re getting so cocky. As they say, the bear does the tricks while the king makes the money.”⟧
“Kyahoo!”
⟦”Shut your mouth, you insect!”⟧
Patter, patter. Patter, patter, patter.
Thud, thud! Thud! Thud!
⟦”You ruffian!”⟧
Whether they fought or not, I sprinted through the room like a madman, savoring the freedom of my newly liberated legs.
“Damn it! Because of these legs!! How long has it been!! What?! Damn!!”
Tears streamed down my face even as I laughed.
“Kheuhheung!”
I was simply overjoyed.
My wretched past no longer mattered.
Not with these two legs.
“I can do anything now—!”
I launched myself forward, executed a tumbling roll, and performed a graceful aerial flip before landing solidly on the ground.
The muscle levels I’d accumulated gave me incredible jumping power.
Thud.
“Ayah-oot!”
With a resonant shout, I flicked my thumb against the tip of my nose.
That perfect Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do move—the one my college seniors used to pester me to perform whenever there was a stage.
“Ayah-byah-byaht!”
My fists cut through the air with blinding speed.
I struck at invisible enemies with precise elbow and knife-hand strikes, then retreated into a basic taekwondo stance.
“Yes! This is it!”
Even with all this excess flesh still clinging to me, I was already this formidable.
Once I shed all the fat, I might actually defy gravity and soar through the sky.
Clap clap clap.
Applause echoed from within the Coin Market’s video feed.
⟦”Splendid.”⟧
⟦”Truly remarkable jumping power.”⟧
⟦”Congratulations, Chicken!”⟧
Two figures filled the small Spirit Communication Window screen, but I couldn’t see them clearly—the last voice belonged to Green Star.
I quickly dressed myself.
As I descended to the First Floor in the Elevator, the outside air rushed in.
⟦”You’re thrilled, aren’t you.”⟧
⟦”We’ve long heard rumors of your physical ailment. So you’ve managed to restore your legs.”⟧
⟦”To accomplish it on the first attempt….”⟧
⟦”As expected, I am truly remarkable….”⟧
⟦”The Tournament shall be mine….”⟧
I ran like a madman, using the Constellations’ bickering in the video feed as background music.
An unfamiliar neighborhood.
“Huff. Huff.”
These were streets I’d never walked before, having only left Baek Hee-an’s House once during training, but it didn’t matter.
I was running on two legs.
“Hello!”
When I greeted loudly, a middle-aged couple passing by startled and stared at me.
“Oh my….”
“Well, this young man looks so manly and dependable!”
I’m a woman, though.
But my cheeks rose involuntarily into a smile.
“Thank you!”
I turned the corner, crossed the main street, and cut back into another alley.
People stared at me.
In the evening, someone in shabby shorts and slippers sprinting through the neighborhood at full speed could only look insane.
Hehehehe, hehehehe.
‘Maybe I really am crazy.’
I was so happy I felt like I might lose my mind.
Just the fact that I could run made the entire world suddenly feel like paradise.
⟦”That’s an interesting feature.”⟧
At some point, the BGM of the other two Constellations seemed to fade, and Green Star’s voice grew louder.
Looking at the spirit communication window, green hair like grass hung down like a curtain.
‘Who is that? Is that Green Star?’
Between the grass-like hair were deer antlers, and the pointed ears visible here and there were covered in soft fur.
‘A furry?’
Green Star’s voice came through the video screen at the Coin Market.
⟦”King of Seoul. Currently available functions are five: toll tax, residence tax, forced eviction, rule establishment, and execution.”⟧
“…?”
Suddenly, toll tax and residence tax?
I couldn’t understand what Green Star was talking about.
