Chapter 53

***

As soon as they arrived at the manor, after quickly washing up.

Moa locked herself in her room, using fatigue as an excuse.

And for good reason—she had gotten an absolutely amazing reward!

“Somi, quickly! Show me quickly!”

When Moa urged her, Somi popped out of the bracelet with a poof.

[Alright, alright.]

As soon as Somi emerged, she tapped the air with her tail fur.

She seemed annoyed at being disturbed while resting comfortably inside the bracelet.

“With this, I might be able to save Grandfather!”

Moa’s eyes sparkled brightly.

The ‘Tool Upgrade Recipe’ she had obtained from treating Danhwi.

Her heart pounded at the thought that with this, she might be able to break those terrifying chains.

“Come on, yah! Come out, super strong weapon to save Grandfather!”

Moa shouted while putting energy into the bracelet.

But the bracelet remained quiet.

No matter how much she shook it, there was no response, so Moa pouted her lips.

“Huh? Why isn’t it working? It was like this before too…”

She remembered that previously too, when she had begged for tools to help others, nothing had come out.

At Moa’s complaints, Somi cleared her throat with a deliberately stern expression.

[Ahem, Moa. The bracelet isn’t a magic club.]

“Can’t it go ‘gold appear, ta-da’?”

[Right, I’m telling you because you seem to be misunderstanding. Not just anything comes out.]

“Tch. How stingy!”

Moa puffed out her cheeks. Then Somi tapped Moa’s cheek with her tail.

[Tools only help you use your power properly. Originally you could do it with bare hands, but since you’re still young.]

“So it’s like training wheels on a bicycle?”

[Oh, you’re really smart.]

Somi praised Moa.

Then Moa, feeling pleased, made a greedy expression hoping for more praise.

[You, how did you discover the problem inside that young human’s body at the Imperial Palace? You weren’t wearing the safety goggles.]

“Uh, um…?”

Moa hesitated.

Come to think of it, she had seen the energy with her naked eyes!

[It’s proof that you’ve grown. Someday you’ll be able to do everything without tools.]

Somi gently touched Moa’s forehead with her front paw.

“But it still doesn’t seem to work well yet…”

[Right. So I’ll tell you the rules.]

“Rules?”

Moa’s eyes widened.

[Your power is fundamentally about ‘healing’. So to bring out tools, you need to imagine ‘what you’ll treat and how’.]

“Huh…?”

[Just saying ‘something strong!’ won’t work. You need to say ‘this is blocked so I need something to unblock it!’]

“Ah! Like when playing doctor?”

Moa clapped her hands.

The Headmaster applying cupping therapy, doctors performing surgery in dramas.

Specific imagination was needed for the power to take shape.

[You’re really smart, my child.]

Somi bumped her head against Moa’s as if praising her.

Head bunting was something Somi used to do often, so Moa giggled familiarly.

[Good. If you imagine well, that bracelet will automatically bring out the right tool from what you have. If you don’t have it, there’s nothing it can do.]

This was a limitation because the emergency medical kit was still only level 2.

Moa realized that even getting the cupping pump had been incredibly lucky and let out a relieved sigh.

If it had still been level 1 when it looked like a toy box, she might not have been able to heal Danhwi.

‘That would have been so embarrassing!’

If she had confidently said ‘I’ll cure you, oppa!’ and then failed, she wouldn’t have been able to face Danhwi.

Moa realized she needed to complete her missions quickly.

Then she could get more rewards and be able to treat other people faster!

“Oh, right. So how do I use that reward?”

Thinking of treatment reminded Moa of Grandfather, bringing her back to the original conversation.

Moa asked while thinking about the tool upgrade recipe.

[This upgrades one of your tools.]

Somi tapped the bracelet with her front paw.

Poof!

An item list appeared before Moa’s eyes like a hologram. Stethoscope, syringe, bandages, tweezers…

They were Moa’s toy medical tools.

“Wow! This existed?”

Moa looked at the list Somi showed her with curious eyes and poked at the air. The text rippled.

“Why didn’t you tell me sooner!”

[You didn’t ask.]

Somi shook her head side to side as if she knew nothing about it.

Moa glared at Somi for a moment in annoyance, but cats were naturally selfish animals, so there was no point in arguing.

Moa eventually turned her head and focused on the list.

‘I don’t know what to choose.’

The Grandfather that Moa had seen had flesh that was rotting and festering.

If she could see black chains like with Jaseonghwa or Jin Dowoon, she could just pull or cut them, but Moa didn’t know how to fix rotting flesh.

“Somi, I don’t know…”

‘Romantic Doctor’, ‘Surgeon Lady’, ‘Wise Doctors’, and so on.

She loved dramas and had watched quite a few medical dramas alongside her older siblings and teachers.

But she couldn’t remember anything about how to treat flesh-rotting diseases.

‘She said I can’t do it unless I imagine properly…’

Frustrated, Moa bit her lip tightly.

[Well… actually, whatever you choose will probably be helpful in its own way.]

A scalpel that cuts away rotten parts like jelly!

Bandages that stick perfectly like skin without any discomfort!

A pump that sucks up poison with a slurping sound!

Whatever she chose would do its part.

After hearing the explanation, Moa’s face looked a little better than before.

‘Don’t I need all of them?’

Moa was hugging her knees and sighing deeply when.

‘…Huh?’

Moa’s eyes caught sight of the red cross-shaped bracelet.

“…Somi.”

[Yeah?]

“This bracelet is… also a tool, right?”

[Huh? Well, of course.]

“Then, what happens if I upgrade this?”

Somi’s eyes widened.

[Well, I wonder? I never thought about strengthening the main body. Isn’t that cheating?]

“There was no rule saying I couldn’t. Right?”

Without hesitation, Moa held the bracelet up to Somi.

“I want to use this!”

Reflecting Moa’s will, the upgrade recipe was activated.

Ding!

-Tool Upgrade Recipe

Target Designation: Emergency Medical Kit (Level 2)

The official name of the bracelet written in the target designation section flickered in red and blue.

A System Message that only Guardian Spirits could see appeared in Somi’s vision.

-Analyzing target compatibility · · · · ·

After a moment.

-Samyeongrok is amazed by the contractor’s brilliant idea.

-Hidden Route Unlocked: ‘Medical System (OS)’ Upgrade

Whooooom-!

New text appeared below the target designation section before Moa’s eyes.

It was a list of materials needed for enhancement.

As if telling her to insert materials there, two square empty slots were placed like a game’s enhancement system.

Those empty slots were labeled ‘Divine Power’ and ‘User’s Most Precious Heart’ respectively.

‘Most precious heart?’

She didn’t know what that meant. But she decided to try what was possible first.

Moa brought her hand to the empty slot labeled divine power.

Then Moa’s bracelet smoothly unraveled and slipped into the target designation slot.

Divine power began to be sucked out from within Moa’s body.

“Uhhh…”

As divine power was rapidly drained away, Moa groaned, feeling momentarily dizzy.

In an instant, the golden wave that had consumed even the dormant divine power Moa didn’t know she had and filled the empty slot was still insufficient.

‘Hmm…’

After pondering briefly, Moa didn’t panic and removed her hand, then rummaged through her pocket.

Clink.

What Moa pulled out was a small glass bottle.

It was the medicine bottle containing Danhwi’s excess divine power that she had somehow forgotten to put in her bracelet and kept in her pocket.

The golden liquid inside the bottle sparkled and emitted a dazzling light.

“I extracted this from Danhwi!”

Moa smiled brightly.

[My goodness, to think you’d use that here!]

Somi’s mouth fell wide open.

She had brought it to use as an emergency potion when Moa was in danger later.

“This should work, right?”

[Of course it will!]

With Somi’s approval, Moa unhesitatingly brought the glass bottle to the half-filled empty slot.

Swoosh.

The glass bottle slipped inside as if penetrating through the text, filling it to become a complete golden slot.

The condition was satisfied.

Now only the user’s most precious heart remained.

Moa thought carefully.

What was a precious heart?

A cherished doll? Or hidden candy?

But such things didn’t seem like the kind of ‘heart’ that would go into a tool upgrade.

[This isn’t about objects. Think about what you truly wish for, what you want to do with this power.]

Somi quietly advised.

Moa closed her eyes.

Why did she want to use this power? Why did she want to become a doctor?

‘I hate being sick.’

She remembered the nights from her orphanage days when she groaned in pain from illness.

Being sick was sad. It was even sadder when no one cared for you.

She also hated seeing her family members suffer.

Jin Dowoon suffering and forgetting himself, Yeongang’s dead eyes, Grandfather’s rotting body.

‘I want everyone to smile.’

Mom and Dad, her older brothers, and even Grandfather.

She wanted them all to be healthy, eat delicious food, and play with her.

That was Moa’s only and greatest desire.

“I… want everyone to be happy.”

Moa clutched her chest tightly with her small hand and murmured.

“I just want us all to live happily together. That’s my most precious heart.”

The moment a pure child’s sincerity flowed out.

As if hearing Moa’s sincerity, the empty slot trembled.

It became a slot filled completely with golden color.

Flash-!

Soon the room became blindingly bright.

Moa squeezed her eyes shut and then opened them.

Where the light had faded, a sophisticated smart watch was fastened around Moa’s wrist.

It was a real smart watch with a red cross symbol displayed on the background.

-Evolution Complete

-Acquired: General Hospital System

Somi, who read through the ‘Effects’ section visible to Guardian Spirits, exclaimed “Oh!” and jumped up.

-First Effect: User is provided with AI Disease Guide. Once the cause is analyzed, the guide provides solutions.

-Second Effect: Can now summon ‘situational medical sets’ instead of individual tools.

-Third Effect: Analyzes user’s physical activity to defend against abnormal conditions.

Technology that would change Moa’s medical practice.

The AI operating room had arrived.
