A Terminal Healer Needs an Obsessive Maniac

In an instant, Choi Kang-Hoo's expression hardened as he urgently reached out, grabbing Ryu Seo-Ha by the shoulder.

"Are you alright?"

His voice was more tense than usual, his eyes filled with alarm as he tried to steady his shaken emotions. Ryu Seo-Ha, equally unsettled, found himself at a loss.

<Beware of Acid Rain>

Suppressing his unease, Ryu Seo-Ha swiftly changed the topic, calling up a pre-set background. The environment around them quickly transformed to match the reality in which Choi Kang-Hoo was sleeping. The sky beyond the hill began to turn a deep purple.

In the distance, purple clouds loomed. They were created by an S-rank flying monster marking its territory, often releasing acid rain capable of causing muscle deterioration or acute thrombosis.

Before long, a light drizzle began to fall. Choi Kang-Hoo, who had been leaning against the black rocks, frowned as a few drops of rain landed on his skin, causing it to sting.

Part of his irritation also came from seeing Ryu Seo-Ha out in the open, fully exposed to the rain, casually writing on the wet ground.

Ryu Seo-Ha wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as if to illustrate the symptoms, but Choi Kang-Hoo, disregarding the warning, stepped out from under the natural shelter and approached him. Ryu Seo-Ha flinched.
