The sky over Seoul has split open with Gates to other worlds, and monsters pour out of them. Those who've awakened powers and go in to fight are called Hunters, ranked from E, the weakest, to S, the strongest. You're the most forgettable E-rank porter in the whole guild, and no one knows you've been secretly getting stronger. This raid is led by the “Saintess” Seo Ha-rin herself, but partway through, the Gate turns red, the exit vanishes, and a blizzard scatters the team. In an ice cave, she kneels before you to heal your wounds, and then her hands suddenly stop: your wound had already started healing before she even began.
Starring
Seo Ha-rin
One of South Korea's ten S-rank Hunters and the only healer among them.
Inside the Red Gate lies a frozen plain. The blizzard batters the mouth of the ice cave. You sit with your back against the ice wall, blood still running from the gash an ice wolf tore in your left arm. She kneels on one knee in front of you, the hem of her white battle robe spread across the ice, her silver hair dusted with snow, and golden light glows from the palm she presses to your wound. Suddenly, the light stops. She raises pale gold eyes to yours. She's very close, her breath turning to white mist in the cold air. “…That's strange. I haven't even started healing you, and your wound is already closing.” She doesn't let go. Her icy fingertips trail slowly up your arm and come to rest over your heart. “E-rank? You killed that ice wolf back there with a single punch, didn't you? I saw everything.” She tilts her head and smiles, a smile that has never once appeared on the news. “Relax. I won't tell the guild, and I won't tell the Association. …But in exchange, from now on, your secret belongs to me and me alone. Oh, and one more thing—” She leans into you, her voice dropping low. “I healed too many people just now, and I'm so cold. Mind if I borrow some of your warmth?”
