"Uhh...Where...Where am I?"

This was the first thing that Ryan asked as soon as he regained his consciousness.

As Ryan starts to open his eyes very slowly and the first thing he sees was an all-white ceiling. He could also feel something very soft behind his back. It looks like he was lying on a bed.

Ryan gently lifted his upper torso on the bed while grabbing his head with his right arm because he was feeling some headache. As he glanced around, Ryan could quickly recognize where he was. Of course he had visited this place more than 30 times already.

"At the hospital?"

Due to him being a F rank Hunter, Ever since he met the rank B Healer, Samantha, the frequency of him staying in one had decreased somewhat, but still, hospitals were familiar places for Ryan, just as he'd be with a local convenience store.

Ryan was somewhat familiar with those kinds of places.

He then quickly thought back to events before he passed out.

Ryan raised his upper torso up and then placed his hand on his chest and felt the vibrations coming from there. His heart was beating without a problem.

‘I’m…. alive?’

Ryan's eyes quickly shifted to his left hand, his eyes widening wide as he couldn't believe what he had just seen.

"My my arm..."

His arms were completely fine, in flesh and bone. Ryan tried to touch it to confirm if it wasn't an illusion and no it wasn't an illusion, it was good and very real.

He quickly pulled off the blanket covering him to get confirmation for his feet. At that moment, he smiled and tears of joy began to come out.

They were all there...

Not only that, he could also feel vibrations coming from his chest. Which confirms that his heart was beating normally.

But how was this possible? This shouldn't have been possible when he thought back to the moments before he lost his consciousness.

A sword was falling on his head right before his eyes.

Even if he got lucky and the sword missed, he was still surrounded by countless scary enemies. Those d*mn things would be strong enough to give rank S Hunters a genuinely hard time.

‘But, I came out of that situation alive?’

Him being alive and being here now in a hospital was something that shouldn't have been possible.

"What really happened?"

Deep in his memories, he could know that something was missing. This important and missing part was perhaps the reason for all this mystery.

Just then a voice is heard from the door of Ryan's room.

“You are finally awake Mr. Ryan.”

He quickly turned his head in the direction the voice was coming from.

He saw a man in a long white shirt reaching down to his legs, with hair sliding down the floor and wearing a pair of glasses. So this man approached Ryan's bed.

And he politely started introducing himself.

"Hello Mr. Ryan, how are you?" My name is Carlos, Your doctor in charge. »

In fact Mr. Carlos was the doctor who was assigned to take care of Ryan since he arrived at the hospital.

Ryan meanwhile was a bit concerned about another thing, he felt that today was not the next day of the doomsday he had been through, he felt that he had spent several days in that hospital. But he wanted to know something important.

So he slowly turned his head, looked the doctor right in the eyes and asked him with great curiosity.

“Mr. Carlos, how did I get to this hospital? "

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

His body lay deeper in a dungeon that could be impossible to find and very dangerous. And indeed, the young Ryan really wanted to know how he got here.

The doctor opened his mouth.

"You have been saved by the Eagle Guild."

Ryan's eyes will open.

"The Eagle's guide?"

The Eagle Guide was one of the strongest and most massive in the United States, which was why it was ranked as one of the top five best guilds in the country. It was also Ryan's favorite guild and had always dreamed of being part of them. This would therefore mean that someone had happened to meet in contact with them when he had gone to seek help.

Ryan smiled admiringly, thinking that the guild he considered true hunters was the very one who saved him. Ryan couldn't help but have great gratitude in his heart towards them.

He asks quickly then.

"Today is what day?"

Doctor Carlos and the nurse who was right next to him, for some reason exchanged small glances which seemed to disturb the young man a little. The doctor turns his head towards him, slowly opening his mouth.

The story they told Ryan was rather surprising, though.

“I was unconscious for four days?!”

“Today is 18 August, Mr. Ryan. »

Ryan put on an extremely shocked face when he heard that.

If he remembers correctly, the day he went to the dungeon was August 14, right? So if today is August 18, that would mean he really spent 4 days unconscious in that hospital.

It was the first time in his life that he had been asleep for 4 days, he had never slept for more than seven hours in a day in his entire life, but that's another story.

Ryan mutters to himself.

“Looks like I was really damaged then. »

It was the only resolution he could make.

After a few seconds, Ryan realized something about his body, it was as if he knew he had become bigger than before.

His eyes widened a little.

Fat? Now that he thinks about it. He turns his eyes to his arms as his eyes widen even more than before.

“Was my hands really this big and muscular?”

It was his body it was all about, of course he could feel a change. The feeling of being extremely weak was no longer there, his body was overflowing with energy.

"This... how can this be possible?"

Ryan was not the only one surprised, He could sense the suspicious reactions of the doctor and the nurse.

The doctor couldn't hide his astonishment from his expression. As we said before, he had been in charge of Ryan since he arrived here which also means he had already seen the young man's skinny body, so he was right to be so surprised.

The doctor quickly makes a suggestion in his head.

“Re-Awakening….?”

He had worked in this hospital for 15 years, he had treated several types of hunters which means that he was already used to seeing hunters who changed, gaining new powers.

This phenomenon was extremely rare, there were cases where humans could awaken their powers that were dormant thanks to the "Re-Awakening". The Hunters who could benefit from the Re-Awakening were those who were close to death.

When a Hunter undergoes this phenomenon, he normally becomes extremely powerful compared to what he was before. Jumping beyond their own limits, they could exit E-rank to A-rank or even S-rank, could exit from A-rank to S-rank.

The doctor nervously swallowed his saliva.

But this young man, Ryan...his physical transformation was amazing. His transformation was of course different from the Hunters that came before him. This little boy who was all skinny had now become muscular.

The doctor continued staring at Ryan with his expression full of surprise before he approached the young man to take his body temperature, he wanted to know his condition.

The doctor placed his palm lightly on Ryan's head and Ryan let him do it without saying anything while a small white aura started to be visible on the doctor's hand.

After a few seconds, cold sweats began to form on the doctor's forehead. For some reason, he now had a serious expression. Shortly after, the small energy that was on the doctor's hand was gone.

The doctor gently removes his hand from the young lad, he takes off his glasses gently with a surprising expression with his eyes wide open.

“This boy…”

The doctor could know the conditions of his patients by just laying his hand on their head, by doing this he could see their internal conditions for example, If they had serious conditions about their lungs and even their hearts, or others problems some of them had lack of energy due to serious injuries.

But Ryan was different, his body had no problem at all, his internal condition was new, this little boy was healthier than a normal person, he was like Ryan had just been reborn.

But the thing that was even more surprising to the doctor was the energy he felt, it was the first time he felt this type of energy, it was clearly different from that of a normal hunter and even different than an S-rank hunter.

Suddenly, a little earthquake shock in the doctor's eyes, as he made another suggestion.

“Is it come from a god? »

The doctor's eyes lift slightly as he shakes his head.

“No no no, it is impossible. »

Humans who possessed the power of a god were extremely rare on this earth. But the doctor knew some hunters who had benefited from their powers. Not only him but several other people since these hunters there were recognized throughout the whole world being placed at the top.

If the United States could have hunters having the power of a god, the government could be proud but too bad it did not have any for the moment.

Ryan then says..

“What is my current condition, doctor?”

"I haven't detected any internal injuries, which means you don't have to worry Mr. Ryan, you are in perfect health."

Ryan then lets out a breath. He's glad everything was fine. The doctor quickly adds that if he wanted, he could even leave the hospital tomorrow. Ryan was now even happier than before as a wide smile appeared on his lips.

“Good, thank you for everything Mr. Doctor.”

The doctor answers him while smiling back.

"You're welcome."

It was his job after all, the doctor was also happy that his patient was healthy but he was still surprised. It was then..

“Can I come in please? »

“Ah, there are a few people who wanted to talk to you Mr. Ryan. You can come in. »

The door opened, and three men each wearing black suits entered the room. Ryan had never seen those faces before.
