Chapter Title: It's Warm

That night, Korea's largest hunter community, the Korean Hunter Gallery, was literally set ablaze.
[General] ★ Saw Something Crazy at the Raid Site Today [213]
Today a bunch of mid-tier guilds teamed up for a gate raid.
It was tougher than expected and people were starting to drop left and right, but the Normal Operations Guild guys were the only ones looking totally fine. Weird, right?
At first I thought they'd popped some drugs or something,
lol but it was legit.
They were all chugging this red potion stuff, and their bleeding wounds healed right up. I was shocked af.
First time seeing anyone pull that off without a single healer. What the hell is it?
Just some OTC emergency hemostatic agent? No need to make a fuss.
Since when is there a drinkable potion that heals you anyway?
Stop playing games so much.
No, I saw it with my own eyes.
Isn't that the stuff with side effects where your flesh melts off?
Unverified drugs are insanely dangerous.
Those guild guys are gonna get carted off to the hospital any day now.
Even if it's just hemostatic, that's something.
Wrapping bandages after every fight sucks balls.
Eat that and you're in deep shit.
Wake up the next day as a total babe lmao ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
Fuck, gimme some too.
Bleeding out mid-fight legit tanks your focus hard.
Instant hemostasis would save your ass. Where do I get it?
For an unidentified potion, the debate raged on.
But perhaps because the effects were so dramatic, public opinion gradually shifted toward doubt and mockery due to lack of realism.
"Hmm."
An intrigued smile played on Choi Yuna's lips as she stared at her laptop screen.
'Faster reaction than I expected.'
The explosive interest was exactly what she'd hoped for.
However, she couldn't let the voices of doubt grow louder. She needed one solid blow to flip the board.
'Basic potions aren't enough impact.'
The potions her guild members used were diluted versions of standard recovery potions.
Enough to boost any average guild's combat power considerably, but in this situation, they lacked punch.
'Might as well pour some fuel on the fire.'
Without hesitation, Choi Yuna picked up her smartphone and dialed a familiar number.
The signal barely rang twice before a voice laced with tension and excitement came through from the other end.
- Yes, Guild Leader! I've been waiting for your call!
It was Lee Won-jun, the main dealer of Normal Operations Guild, who had nearly lost a leg to a single mistake.
"Won-jun. You checking the gallery?"
- Yep! It's blowing up over that potion right now.
"Perfect timing, then. Just like I mentioned yesterday, post a verification thread."
Won-jun replied immediately, his voice brimming with excitement and gratitude.
- Of course, Guild Leader! Leave it to me! How should I write it?
"Don't get too emotional. Keep it as matter-of-fact as possible."
- Got it!
Choi Yuna ended the call and promptly sent two pre-prepared files to Lee Won-jun.
One was a photo of his thigh taken by medics for records at the time of injury.
The other was the official full-recovery diagnosis file.
Now it was time to toss a massive log into this raging gallery fire.
A few minutes later.
A new concept post rose to the top of the gallery with overwhelming recommendations.
[Title: Gross) From Leg Amputation Territory to Full Recovery in 1 Minute]
[Writer: Pyri]
Hey.
Hunter here who got fucked up in the leg during a gate run a few days ago from getting careless.
(Thigh pic with flesh and blood all mangled _censored.jpg)
As you can see, huge hole in the middle, bone barely hanging on.
Guild hooked me up and I finally got hold of one healer, but the bastard shows up demanding
'500 million' right off the bat.
Could recover in a few months of rest maybe, but with joint guild raid coming up, no way.
Everything went black, was about to break my savings when I scored some of that pure red potion that's burning up the gallery right now.
(Glass bottle with "Made by Rabbitfoot" printed label.jpg)
Got insanely lucky fr.
Results as shown.
(Clean leg pic, no scars.jpg)
(Diagnosis.pdf)
Grabbed the diagnosis just in case.
No nerve damage? Aftereffects? Nada.
Full recovery in under a minute.
No Qs.
Holy shit, this real?
Healed that in 1 min with one potion??
How much and WHERE TF DO I BUY IT
Healer demanding 500 mil pisses me off.
Fr.
Broke my arm last time, healers ghosted me completely. Fkers.
Where do I get that potion?? Pls tell me.
Fake af?
Pics and diagnosis are right there, how's it fake retard.
This guy's from Normal Operations Guild.
Straight up namedrops his guild, how's it fake?
Price and stock are what matter.
Even if stupid expensive, better than healers ghosting you.
Better to chug that than kiss up to those assholes.
The comment explosion was just the beginning. Within minutes, the entire gallery was flooded with new posts about it.
The prior doubts and jeers vanished without a trace, as if they'd never been there. Authenticity no longer mattered.
Now there was only one thing they wanted to know.
So, where do I buy it?
I stared blankly at the workshop ceiling.
"......"
After holing up in the workshop for days, squeezing every last drop of mana from my body, my condition was wrecked.
Recovery Potion. First time handling a recipe that required direct mana manipulation—it drained me completely. I didn't want to do anything.
Grrrrumble—
The loud noise shattered the silence, but I didn't even have the energy to get up.
'Too annoying...'
Maybe skip eating. Not like starving a bit would kill me. Just sleep it off...
Clang.
That's when I heard something drop.
"...?"
I turned my head. A small rabbit was staring right at me. In front of it, a food bowl was spinning like it'd just been dropped.
'...What the heck.'
Not content with escaping its cage every chance it got, now it was protesting for food.
"Haa."
No helping it. I could starve, but it needed to eat.
I dragged my heavy body up, stumbled over, and filled Chun-sik's bowl with feed.
I started to put Chun-sik back in the cage but stopped. It'd just bust out again anyway—what was the point?
I flopped back onto the mat.
"......"
I watched it munch on the feed. Somehow, it made my heart feel a little more at peace.
Slowly, my eyes began to droop.
Vrrr—!
Then my smartphone buzzed by my head. Yuna's name lit up the screen.
"H-Hello...?"
- Kim Talky. Check the gallery.
"...Gallery...?"
- You don't know Korean Hunter Gallery? It's the community site pretty much every hunter in Korea uses.
"Ah."
For a second, I thought she meant Alchemy Gallery. My drowsiness vanished instantly.
- Anyway, check it now. It's chaos.
Only then did I sluggishly open the Korean Hunter Gallery on my phone.
[Korean Hunter Gallery]
[General] ★ Gross) From Leg Amputation Territory to Full Recovery in 1 Minute [1423]
[General] So Where The Fuck Do I Buy It [8]
[General] Searched "made by rabbitfoot" and got nothing [16]
[General] Why the hell does only Normal Ops get that shit??? [23]
What the fuck is this.
The entire gallery was plastered with talk of the potions I made.
I'd been living online since my body tanked, but I'd never seen a community blow up like this.
That's when Yuna's voice came through the phone again.
- The stage is set. Now you decide.
"...Decide what...?"
- How much are you selling this for?
