Chapter Title: Instinctively
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday. While Lee Ho-yeon was out on a date with Lumi, a gate incident erupted in the capital region, prompting the Association's hunters to rush in for emergency support.
Thanks to the Association hunters and the emergency-mobilized hunters throwing themselves into the fray, there were no civilian casualties, but plenty of injured hunters.
Because of that, Baek A-young's ambulance was swamped nonstop.
"Saintess! Thank you! I feel like I'm floating on air! Haha!"
"Oh come on, I told you not to call me that."
"Well then, I'll be off!"
She bowed.
Bowing her head and seeing the man off as he turned away, Baek A-young headed back into the ambulance.
"Whew, it never ends. Still, I could handle maybe ten more."
"Wow, you're amazing. No wonder everyone calls you Saintess—you're handling the work of five other healers single-handedly."
"Ehehe... Thanks."
Baek A-young's junior, Kim A-ra, couldn't help but be amazed every time she saw her. Her healing powers were miraculous enough to bring the dead back to life, but her stamina and mana reserves were insane.
Recovery magic fundamentally consumed mana, but treating severe injuries beyond a certain point required the caster's physical stamina as well.
It involved sharing a bit of your life force and amplifying it.
That's why other healers would be drained after treating just one or two serious cases, but Baek A-young could handle ten or more on her own.
'And she does this every day, right up to the brink of collapse? Is that even human?'
Her abilities ranked her as the undisputed number one healer worldwide.
On top of that, she had a kind personality, a pretty face, and adorable mannerisms.
It wasn't an exaggeration to call her the reincarnation of a saintess.
Naturally, every day working with Baek A-young was a joy for her.
"Wow, you really treated ten more over there."
"Yeah. But I'm getting tired now. You treated three yourself. Good work."
"Working with you always pushes me too hard... Three for me feels like it's shaving years off my life."
"I'm the weird one, so don't push yourself."
"Hey, don't say that. Let's pack up? Looks like we're done."
"Sure, why not?"
Kim A-ra watched Baek A-young working through her exhaustion with a smile and felt envious of that willpower.
"Yes! I'll treat you to dinner tonight..."
At that moment, emergency responders interrupted Kim A-ra, rushing in.
"Emergency patient! Emergency patient! Open the ambulance quick!"
"Emergency patient?!"
Clatter! They wheeled in a man on a stretcher.
"S-Sunbae! His condition..."
"...Yeah."
The man's state was horrific.
His left arm was torn off entirely, as if bitten clean through, and both legs were severed below the ankles.
It was a miracle he hadn't gone into shock.
But blood was still pouring out—he'd die from blood loss any minute.
"Saintess...! A hidden monster ambushed him! Please, save him! He just got married!"
The man who'd brought the stretcher slammed his head to the ground, pleading with Baek A-young.
"I-I'll call the nearest branch!"
"No, I'll treat him."
"Sunbae!"
"You know it too. If we don't treat him right now, he's done for."
"..."
Kim A-ra knew it as well.
The patient wouldn't last five minutes in this state.
But even for Baek A-young, was this treatable?
He was a hunter, clinging to life, but practically dead already.
For injuries this severe, even healers had to brace for backlash.
And right now, Baek A-young's mana was nearly depleted after a full day of treatments.
Forcing it could damage her lifespan or mana circuits.
Yet she stepped up without hesitation, earning Kim A-ra's deep respect.
That attitude of sacrificing without a second thought for others.
'Is she really a saintess?'
Kim A-ra thought so as she watched Baek A-young gather her mana.
Meanwhile, Baek A-young was thinking differently.
In her eyes, she saw a man on the verge of death.
A man who could die any second.
She'd seen hundreds, thousands of men like this.
When had it started? Treating severely injured men let her feel their survival instincts.
The desire to live.
The desire for pleasure.
The urge to breed and spread seed.
The immense energy radiating from them flowed straight into her.
It felt incredibly strange, but nothing to brag about.
Saying she felt a man's lust through her whole body during treatment would get her labeled a bitch in heat.
So she buried it deep inside.
When treating men on the absolute brink, their groins always bulged.
A male's pheromones intensified when life hung by a thread. Cocks stood rigid, reeking of breeding urges.
An instinct to leave seed in the world?
The younger and healthier, the stronger the desire.
She felt it now too. Even in agony, this man lusted for her.
Males, in their ugliness, felt desire for Baek A-young even as she saved their lives.
At first, it disgusted her, but she couldn't stop healing.
The fulfillment and satisfaction of saving lives outweighed the filthy disgust, bringing her peace.
Over time, she adapted to the males' lust directed at her.
But the more she exposed herself to that thick survival drive and primal male instinct, the stranger her body grew.
The gaze of a man eyeing her breasts while she healed him.
Even good men hid lust inside.
A desire to pin her down and force his cock in. Only society's laws, morals, and reason held it back.
True masculinity was pinning women down, crushing them, and sowing seed.
At least, that's what Baek A-young thought.
Male breeding urges. The twisted masculinity and lust buried deep.
The ugly nature emerging only near death.
'If you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back into you.'
Before she knew it, Baek A-young had fallen into the abyss.
Beep-
Before her eyes lay the patient, breaths fading.
Her head throbbed slightly from treating so many today, but she familiarly drew up her mana.
For Baek A-young, emergency cases like this were rare opportunities.
Warm light leaked from her hands, enveloping the patient and slowly mending him.
Her vitality drained to refill his.
The headache worsened, vision blurred, throat parched.
A sensation of her body being wrung out from within.
Baek A-young's body grew utterly defenseless.
Soon, the patient regained consciousness and took in her form.
Deep in his psyche, his lust screamed.
- Pin that woman down now and sow your seed!
But his ingrained rationality as a social being held him back.
Gulp.
Baek A-young's pussy grew wet.
An instinctive urge to be pinned by the man before her gripped her.
It had to be now.
This moment, when his primal urges peaked, was crucial.
But naturally, the man averted his eyes from her.
Baek A-young couldn't comprehend men shackled by society, rejecting instinct.
'Why won't he pounce? He keeps glancing at my breasts—why? He lusts for me—why? Why?!'
As treatment progressed, her stamina and mana dwindled.
"Hngh..."
A moan escaped amid the overwhelming sensations she could barely control. She could hardly hold herself up.
Yet the weaker her body grew, the more aroused she became.
'If he pounces now, I couldn't resist. He'd creampie me irresponsibly, and I'd helplessly get knocked up with his trash spawn...'
Her pussy throbbed, but the man only stole glances before chiding himself and looking away.
'Sigh, another miss.'
Once treatment ended, the patient and his companion bowed repeatedly in thanks.
Even amid gratitude, his eyes drifted to her breasts—an uncontrollable male instinct.
Taking a short break to recover, Baek A-young pretended not to notice, smiling as she accepted their thanks.
'If you're gonna look, why not pounce when I was helpless earlier?'
She grumbled inwardly.
"Good work, sunbae."
Kim A-ra, who'd been helping out, spoke up from the side.
"Yeah, thanks. Feeling dizzy today—let's eat later?"
"Of course! You have the orphanage tomorrow too. Rest well!"
"Yeah. I'll head in first."
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Last night, I'd established a secret friends-with-benefits relationship with Lumi at a motel.
After spending the night enjoying ourselves there, I stopped by the dorm briefly on Sunday, chatted with Liliana, then headed straight out.
Destination: Sunlight Orphanage.
A place Baek A-young frequented.
'Come to think of it, it's been forever since I last saw her.'
I hadn't visited since seeing her during the last dungeon training. She'd been busy helping out, so it made sense we might miss each other.
"Hey? That's Cadet Ho-yeon, right? Long time no see~! We thought you weren't coming anymore!"
As I entered Sunlight Orphanage and crossed the yard, a caregiver I vaguely remembered from before called out.
"Haha... Hi. Been busy lately. Where's the director?"
"Probably playing with the kids in the back yard right now? A-young's here too—go check!"
"Thanks."
Nice. Good news.
Baek A-young was here today too. Perfect timing.
"Hello!"
I spotted Baek A-young and the director watching the kids play.
Baek A-young with her kind figure and the director with her gentle face turned and greeted me warmly.
"Oh my, Ho-yeon. Long time no see. A-young stopped by after ages too—what a day!"
"Sorry. Work's been crazy lately. Hi, A-young."
Baek A-young grabbed my hand in surprise at my greeting and spoke up.
"Ho-yeon! I saw the article about you fighting the demon. You okay?"
"D-Demon? What's that about?"
Being active in the field, she had fast news.
Or maybe the director was just slow on info. The Academy might've downplayed it for civilians.
"Eh, I'm fine. Not hurt bad, and look where I am?"
"Phew, good. I was so worried seeing your name in the article."
Baek A-young exuded that aura unique to good people.
Talking to her made even my heart feel purer.
📜 NEW QUEST 📜 Are You Faithful to Your Instincts?
📍 Baek A-young is searching for a man led by instinct!
⏰ Clear Condition: Spark Baek A-young's interest 0/1
🎁 Reward: Baek A-young's affection increases
'...Not quite?'
A man led by instinct...
I had a vague idea of what to do.
Baek A-young couldn't fulfill her dream of being raped in a defenseless state because of her saintess title.
The holiness it evoked made such an atmosphere impossible.
"Oppa~!"
The kid who'd loved my juggling last time ran up.
"Long time no see?"
"Oppa! Why'd you take so long? Do that thing again!"
"Sure, sure. Let's play."
The kid grabbed my hand and dragged me into the group.
"Sniff sniff. Oppa, why do you smell like candy?"
"Huh?"
What was this?
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ I put on my secret five-stage juggling show and played with the kids.
Soon, the director called lunchtime and herded them inside.
Baek A-young and I sat on the yard bench, chatting.
"Good job. Juggling again, huh. Heh."
"Better than last time, though?"
"True. Your skills improved noticeably. And the kids stuck to you 'cause you smell nice... Jealous."
"Nah... More kids clung to you."
"Hehe. Did they?"
The sweet body reward from clearing Lumi's quest.
It made my scent sugary.
I even licked my arm once—yep, sweet taste.
What am I, a chocolate man?
"Dungeon training next week. Ready? Heard this exam's tough."
She beamed.
Grinning at the thought of seeing me next week, probably.
She loved my adult suit look last time.
This training would have an accident due to terrorism. Better switch topics than drag this out.
"Speaking of, what do you do as a dungeon helper?"
"Oh... All sorts. Support stuff, mostly healing though."
"Ah. Heard your healing's insane. Reincarnation of the saintess."
"Don't call me that. Embarrassing."
"Don't healers get mentally drained? Dungeons have tons of casualties."
Not that it applied to her. She pushed too hard daily, but pacing herself would avoid fatigue.
"Yeah. Overdo it, and I'm sick all day."
"Wow, totally defenseless then. Gotta watch out."
I said something borderline rude on purpose.
Baek A-young liked that.
"...Guess so."
"Anyone targeting you then would be disastrous."
She despised men revering her as saintess.
Easy to pique such a woman's interest.
Just be the usual bad boy Lee Ho-yeon.
"Y-Yeah... That'd be bad. Really bad..."
Baek A-young's eyes changed subtly.
