My Gun Can Pierce Through Hunter Story Clichés!

He ran as fast as he could and grabbed the first taxi he saw, arriving right in front of the hospital.

He went to the counter, asked in an urgent voice, and immediately headed up as instructed.

The place he arrived at was right outside the attending physician’s office.

His cousin Hye-jin and the attending physician were already talking in front of the door.

“Noona!”

“H-Han-wol…”

“What about Seol-ha!?”

Hye-jin spoke incoherently.

But he could understand roughly what she meant.

She had barely stabilized but hadn’t regained consciousness.

So far, she was managing well with life support equipment. That was the summary.

‘Surely this was supposed to happen a year from now…!’

Han-wol recalled his memories from before the regression.

Originally, Seol-ha was scheduled to lose consciousness a year later.

And then she slowly died over the next 4 years while in a vegetative state.

But in this world, it hadn’t even been 2 months.

With a serious expression, he began making all sorts of conjectures, tirelessly racking his brain about why this was happening.

But he soon stopped.

“…What’s the prognosis for my sister?”

For now, his sister’s current condition was the priority.

“I’m truly sorry to say this, but I don’t think she’ll last even a week.”

“…Are you sure the examination was done properly?”

Han-wol was immediately suspicious.

Although Han-wol wasn’t a doctor, he knew more about magic poisoning than anyone.

‘Die in just a week? It took months for her to collapse in the first place? That’s impossible.
Even though she’s collapsed now, she’ll surely last a few more months.
Magic poisoning is a disease with definite rules.’

Just as Han-wol was about to say something.

Hye-jin suddenly interjected.

“Ah…! Han-wol. There’s a new drug they say.
It might possibly save Seol-ha…”

Hye-jin brought up what Professor Kim had told her before Han-wol arrived.

Each time she mentioned it, her face was tinged with a dark glimmer of hope.

It was a direct expression of her desire to grasp at even a straw.

“What? A new drug?”

But Han-wol’s expression only became more serious than before.

‘New drug? Don’t talk nonsense.
The only way to treat magic poisoning is by injecting stabilized anti-magic substances.’

Of course, it might be a drug made using the “Brewing” system of players, which didn’t exist before the regression.

But Han-wol wasn’t optimistic enough to believe that at face value.

Seol-ha, who originally would have lasted for a year, had her time reduced to just 1 month instead.

It was far more plausible to believe that the hospital was up to something.

‘Wait… come to think of it, this is Samsung Hospital.
But that incident starts 5 years later, and it’s revealed to the media 10 years later…?
It should have no relation to Seol-ha…’

At that moment.

A certain thought flashed through Han-wol’s mind.

‘…No, Seol-ha’s death has been moved up.
The Samsung Biologics human experimentation controversy that’s supposed to happen 5 years later has also been moved up.
And Seol-ha is the subject.’

Han-wol felt an uncontrollable rage stirring inside him.

He even considered exploding right now and beating the doctor in front of him to a pulp.

But he judged that it wasn’t time yet.

Without showing even a hint of his anger, Han-wol maintained a cold expression that seemed capable of freezing anything solid.

“Well, let’s go inside and continue our conversation.”

Hye-jin entered first, following the doctor’s guidance.

“Han-wol?”

When Han-wol showed no sign of entering, Hye-jin looked at him with a worried expression.

“I’m coming.”

Han-wol replied briefly and followed behind Hye-jin.

Before that, he took out his phone, dimmed the screen considerably.

Started an application, pressed a button.

And set it to touch restriction mode.

He put the phone in his pocket and sat down, then Professor Kim brought over a paper and began to speak.

Professor Kim mainly spoke to Hye-jin, while Han-wol remained silent like a bystander, just listening quietly.

“…So Samsung Hospital and Samsung Biologics have been conducting joint research with the FDA, the US Food and Drug Administration, to treat magic poisoning…”

“…We’ve recently achieved results.
Although it’s not a complete cure yet, it might be possible to extend your sister’s life.”

“With one dose, we can extend a week to several months.
Please take a look at this data first.”

“Ah, yes.”

“This is data on patients who have actually received the treatment…”

Hye-jin was completely overwhelmed by unfamiliar technical terms and could only nod her head.

Of course, each time, Professor Kim continued to add simple summaries so that Hye-jin could understand.

The life expectancy increased more than tenfold.

That actually happened.

Look at this data here.

Some were lucky enough to even open their eyes.

He also has a daughter hospitalized with magic poisoning at Johns Hopkins Hospital in America.

She is also scheduled to receive the treatment soon.

It’s fortunate that he’s in charge of her sister.

She was a patient he personally cared about very much.

With that, Hye-jin’s expression gradually changed from the same suspicion as Han-wol to a brightening one.

Soon, she was nodding and about to sign.

“Then please sign here.”

“Ah, yes.”

At that moment.

Riiip!

Han-wol snatched the guardian consent form and tore it apart.

“H-Han-wol! What are you suddenly…!?”

“Hey. Doctor.”

Han-wol extended his hand to stop Hye-jin and looked straight at Professor Kim.

Professor Kim blinked repeatedly with his eyes wide open.

He seemed to have no idea that he was being addressed.

“I’m talking to you, you so-called doctor.”

“Y-yes?”

Professor Kim responded reflexively, greatly flustered.

Han-wol judged that it wasn’t time to completely explode yet.

Now was the time to cast bait.

So Han-wol decided to speak with a smile.

“Want to die?”

x x x

With Han-wol’s single statement “Want to die?”, the room was instantly enveloped in silence.

The first person to speak was Hye-jin.

“Lee Han-wol! What kind of language is that!
Even if you’re shocked, this is too much. Right now, the doctor is also trying to help Seol-ha…!”

“Noona, please stay quiet for a moment.”

Han-wol said in a low voice.

All the while staring silently at Professor Kim.

‘Has his judgment been clouded because of his sister?
No, even so, at this point, he should be begging me to save her…’

Professor Kim inwardly thought, flinching slightly.

‘Let’s handle this as I always do.’

Although he felt a bit uneasy, he figured it was because Han-wol was just in his early twenties, a fresh member of society.

In a way, it was an age when passions could flare.

“Excuse me, Han-wol? Is there a problem?
I understand you’re shocked because of your sister, but you need to calm down now.”

Professor Kim was momentarily flustered but quickly regained his composure.

With 30 years of experience as a doctor, he had encountered all kinds of troublesome people.

Therefore, he just needed to follow the manual this time as well.

“I’m telling you the most promising path available right now.
As I was saying, if you look at the data here…”

Or so he thought.

Bang!

Han-wol didn’t even look at the paper Professor Kim handed over and immediately slammed his fist down.

“Try mentioning that data one more time.
I’ll really do something.”

“…Look, Han-wol.
If you continue to be this stubborn, we won’t be able to save someone who could be saved.
Hye-jin, can you please do something about your brother?”

That’s when it came.

Han-wol’s statement that momentarily left Professor Kim speechless.

“Right, you can’t save her.
When a doctor is actively trying to kill someone.”

“What…?”

At first, he couldn’t properly comprehend what Han-wol had said.

“No, is it just one person?
After Seol-ha dies, you’ll find the next patient.
And when they die, you’ll do the same again.
Isn’t that right, doctor?”

“What are you talking about?”

The second time, his mind refused to understand.

“You know better than anyone what I’m talking about!”

And the third time, his heart sank with a clang.

Han-wol kicked back his chair and stood up, hitting the desk hard.

The spot where Han-wol had struck with his fist was dented like a crater.

Even though Han-wol was only 2-Star A-Rank, he was undeniably a player.

He was on a completely different level from ordinary people.

Seeming to realize this, Professor Kim unconsciously wiped away a drop of cold sweat.

“Don’t you have anything to say, Professor Kim?”

At Han-wol’s chilling words, all sorts of thoughts ran through Professor Kim’s mind.

‘D-did he notice? That the paper is fabricated?
No, it’s still okay… Even if he’s noticed, he has no evidence.’

The young man in front of him was merely a fresh member of society, and he himself was a doctor with 30 years of experience.

There was no way he could lose in terms of expertise or details.

Although the young man’s intuition was strangely good, when looking at the data provided by the chairman, there were no elements that could be threatening or concerning.

‘In the end, they have no way to discern our fabrication.’

Professor Kim attempted to regain his composure and began to speak.

“You seem to be young or perhaps too emotionally overwhelmed.
Either way, if you continue like this, even if I want to treat your sister, I won’t be able to.”
