Chapter Title: The Decision to Save Her
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ever since hunters began appearing in the world, one of the industries that boomed the most was hunter life insurance.
Going into dungeons and facing mortal dangers meant injuries were far more frequent and severe, and the death toll skyrocketed.
Of course, insurance companies don't do business at a loss.
At first, with so many deaths, they wouldn't even sell death coverage. Injury policies were only available to relatively safe hunters—like healers or mages—at exorbitant premiums.
For hunters, it was a real dilemma.
Do I even need insurance?
I'm risking my life in dungeons to make money, but the monthly premiums are insanely higher than regular insurance.
But if I get hurt, can I even get proper treatment and survive?
That wasn't guaranteed either.
Hunter injuries aren't like a civilian car crash.
If you're hurt bad enough to need treatment, you're in extreme danger.
Even with a healer for emergency patching, if not, you're facing enemies while needing a hospital.
Even if you slay the foes at the cost of your life to get treatment, it's often too late. Bleeding, infection, complications, amputations—the list goes on.
Healers provide temporary fixes, and the strong ones can close wounds and save lives before it's too late.
Only a handful of healers can regenerate dead tissue or organs after the fact.
That's why, the moment everyone saw Kang Hana's wound, they shook their heads.
Naturally, the Mars outpost had a full medical team on standby.
With national treasures like S-rank, SS-rank, and even SSS-rank hunters here—one per person—they combined modern medicine with healers to save as many as possible.
But even that wasn't easy.
"She's lost too much blood already."
"...Her organs are completely shredded."
"It was an S-rank monster. She didn't even detect it—pure ambush."
The returning team members explained the situation.
"We confirmed no one around, were just gonna double-check... then the attack hit. Luckily, it didn't pursue, so we barely escaped... but monsters delayed us on the way back..."
She'd bled out profusely, organs damaged.
Im Hyeji had squeezed out mana for hemostasis, but the hole in her side was fist-sized. More heals wouldn't change much.
She was still breathing.
A normal person would've died ages ago.
Hunters are tougher than civilians.
But it was just a matter of when—or how much later—she'd die.
Hong Si-jun entered the infirmary.
Leader of the Mars reclamation party.
Seeing Kang Hana's state, he spoke to Im Hyeji.
"You planning to use it?"
His bitter, regretful expression carried layers of meaning.
Assuming her death, Im Hyeji asked confusedly,
"Can I?"
Resurrection.
Everyone here probably knew about it.
Kang Hana was dying soon.
Modern medicine, healers—nothing worked.
Hunters are human too.
If the damage is fatal, you die.
Unless an SSS-rank healer worshipped by all was here.
That's why Im Hyeji stopped healing and waited, despite Kang Hana.
Her skill was crucial for the reclamation.
Friend. Guildmate.
She wanted to use it right now.
But it wasn't emotional.
Post-resurrection issues mattered too.
So she'd waited, but Hong Si-jun dumped the decision on her.
"As party lead, I advise against it."
Resurrection has a 50% chance of cooldown reset on use.
That's why no firm call.
If she revives and cooldown resets—skill well spent.
Saving a dying—or dead—person, skill intact.
But if no reset after revive?
Loses a key asset.
For 14 days.
Staying long in a dungeon isn't ideal.
Tension multiplies fatigue on body and mind several times over. Monsters get hyper-aggressive when intruders enter their turf.
Safe now? Not really.
Im Hyeji looked at me.
Decision weighed heavy.
Honestly, this debate might only happen because it's Kang Hana.
Friend, my sister.
If some other B-rank was dying elsewhere—would the urgency match?
Hong Si-jun might've smoothed it over.
Long-term, deaths inevitable. Save chance best reserved for top SS-rank performers.
So I decided.
No time to hesitate.
"Clear everyone out first."
"...Okay."
Im Hyeji whispered back without question, then announced,
"Everyone, out please."
They hurried away.
The "infirmary" was just a room with a magic-isolated tent for external separation.
Soundproofed, shock-isolated—for combat near base.
"Oppa, stay and help me."
I stayed to avoid suspicion.
Three left: us two, dying Kang Hana.
Im Hyeji asked,
"Is it okay? If the reset doesn't trigger..."
"No, don't use it."
"Huh?"
I stopped her, pulling a small pill and swallowing.
"Fuck. There goes my 50P."
The pill dissolved, unleashing a mana storm.
I dropped my pants, thrusting my dick at Im Hyeji.
"Need to cum. Suck it. Make me finish fast as possible."
"...Eek?"
Stunned by the sudden demand, realization dawned—she grabbed and stroked urgently.
My flaccid dick perked up slyly at her touch.
Slurp.
Dry glans met soft tongue, swelling.
"Glrk...!"
Zero to hard in one second.
Throbbing tip wrapped in tongue, shaft gripped and pumped, building pressure.
But not enough.
I'm no cum machine—can't just stroke and blow in this situation.
Needed bigger stimulus.
I pinned Im Hyeji to the wall, grabbed her head, thrust deep.
"Guhk..."
Now long enough to hit throat—feeling transmitted.
Tightening throat pussy gripped unlike tongue play.
Swallowing saliva, convulsing to expel—more intense than pussy softness, tighter.
Ejaculation built fast.
Tears welled, eyes locked on mine—Im Hyeji's face perfected the arousal.
Struggling, arms clenched my thighs, throat devouring dick, legs instinctively kicking escape.
"Pfah...!"
As cum surged, I pulled out, aimed at lying Kang Hana.
"...Ah... fuck..."
Blood-soaked, no regrets in the act—but stuffing her tiny mouth hit reality.
No hesitation.
Forced mouth wide, thrust in, unloaded.
Gulp. Gulp.
Unconscious, can't swallow—so deep to throat. It clenched expulsion-style.
Intense.
Mid-orgasm, more spurted wildly.
Half refluxed out mouth, some down throat.
Thoughts of aspiration flickered, but screw science—I ignored.
Won't save her? She dies anyway.
【Emergency Life Elixir (S)】
* Elixir that saves anyone not yet dead.
※ Usage: Consume, mix with SSS-grade semen, absorb into target via mouth, womb, anus—any orifice works.
※ Made from rare materials—recommended for valuable lives only.
Just an item I'd eyed once.
Why use with Resurrection available?
50P price—A-rank magic stone value. Notes say use on worthies only, or lose 7 billion won equivalent.
Used it now.
To save Kang Hana.
Hummm.
Effect immediate.
Elixir in semen mana-storm revived her dying body.
"...Oppa!"
Im Hyeji gasped beside me.
Fist-hole in Kang Hana regenerated.
Like resurrection.
Then, breathless Kang Hana breathed.
Beep. Beep.
Stopped heart beat, pulse graphed.
"You saved her, Oppa!!"
Im Hyeji hugged, bouncing excitedly.
I sighed relief.
"Haa..."
Before Kang Hana's eyes opened, I wiped semen from her mouth hastily.
