MIRACLE PREGNANCY?

IT WAS a mess.

Wooju belatedly realized the state of the room he was in.

There were Hunters knocked out on the floor, and it seemed to be because of the poisonous dust scattered in the room.

Hence, he had momentarily forgotten the strange message the System sent earlier.

It must be a glitch anyway.

Why would the System congratulate me for being a 'father' when I don't even have a lover?

Wooju snapped his fingers, summoning a skill while ignoring the System's weird message.

His Status Window popped up again, but it showed a different message this time.

[<Flutter Skill> activated!]

The sound of a huge pair of wings flapping echoed in the room. However, the wings weren't visible.

Even so, the effect of his skill was applied.

A gust of wind blew the poisonous dust away until it completely disappeared.

The next right thing to do was to heal the Hunters who inhaled the poisonous dust. But he didn't have time for that.

So, he called his manager using his phone.

"Jaemoo Hyung1, come to the location I'm going to send you in a bit. Then clean up the mess for me. Thank you."

<"Han Wooju—">

He ended the call before his manager could even say anything back.

Then he texted Kang Jaemoo his exact location before turning his phone off.

And now…

"Excuse me, young lady," Wooju said before carefully carrying the unconscious young lady in his arms. "I'm sorry, but I need to bring you to a doctor I know."

Because they would need to extract the funny-looking brown egg from the young lady's stomach.

"WE CAN'T extract the egg from the girl's stomach, Wooju-ya."

Huh?

Wooju was dumbfounded after hearing what Im Rian, the best Healer in South Korea, just said.

He brought the young lady to Im Rian, the Blue Dragon's resident Healer who was also a licensed doctor. That meant Im Rian could heal both Civilians and Hunters. Hence, he was confident Im Rian could solve his problem without harming the young lady who was an innocent Civilian.

But…

"You can't extract the funny-looking brown egg from the young lady's stomach, Dr. Im?" Wooju, sitting on the receiving chair in front of Im Rian's table, asked. "Why not?"

Im Rian looked around even though only the two of them were in the room at the moment.

To be precise, I'm in Dr. Im's office.

"Let me show you the result of the ultrasound test that I did on the patient," Im Rian said, moving the monitor so that Wooju was facing the screen. "This is what I found out after checking if the egg is still inside the patient's stomach."

The image on the screen was so clear that he couldn't mistake it for anything else.

"So, the young lady is pregnant?" Wooju asked worriedly. "I hope her baby isn't harmed when she swallowed the egg."

"You're looking at your egg, Wooju-ya."

"Huh?"

"Your egg has become a fetus."

Wooju was too confused to react.

"At first, I also thought that the young lady was pregnant," Im Rian started explaining. "So, naturally, I checked if the fetus was harmed. And that was when I found out that the fetus had the same energy as the egg."

"Huh?"

Im Rian pulled out a document from the drawer. "This is the patient's records. One of my nurses recognized the patient, so we were able to identify her right away."

Wooju looked at the document on the table.

There was a picture of the young lady attached to it.

"Her name is Baek Gyubin, and she's an idol from a flop group," Im Rian explained. "I used my connections to get a hold of her medical records. Since we're in a hurry, I only managed to find her medical records when she started working for her current company. The last general checkup that she had showed that she was healthy and not pregnant."

Baek Gyubin?

That name sounded familiar, but Wooju was focused on something else.

"Maybe she got pregnant after her check-up?"

"Didn't you hear me earlier, Wooju-ya? I said it was a 'fetus' and not an 'embryo.' It's because the fetus is already three months old."

It was still hard to believe, but the reality was hard to deny.

That was when he remembered something important.

"The System said something strange earlier," Wooju said, his eyes widening a bit. "The System congratulated me for being a father."

Im Rian's eyes widened from shock. "That confirms it, Wooju-ya. The egg became a fetus when Baek Gyubin swallowed it. If we extract the egg, then it won't be any different from performing abortion."

"We can't do that without Miss Baek's permission."

"Actually, we can," Im Rian said. "The egg may have taken the form of a fetus and implanted itself in Baek Gyubin's womb, but it's still an Item from a dungeon— an Item that you legally own, Wooju-ya. Moreover, I'm sure Baek Gyubin won't be happy if she wakes up and finds out she's pregnant."

"I understand where you're coming from, Dr. Im," Wooju said, and then he shook his head. "But Miss Baek still gets to decide what to do since it's her body."

"Do we really have to extract the egg, though?"

"What do you mean by that, Dr. Im?"

"The egg became a fetus, so obviously, it's going to grow in Baek Gyubin's womb as a baby," Im Rian said, her eyes sparkling. No— her eyes actually looked frenzied. "I'm curious to know what Baek Gyubin is going to give birth to. Why don't we just let her keep the baby and see what's going to happen?"

Wooju frowned, unhappy with Im Rian's reaction because it was obvious that the doctor only saw Baek Gyubin as a mere test subject. "I admit that I'm also curious as to what Baek Gyubin is going to give birth to. But I won't risk her life just to satiate my curiosity."

Im Rian looked like she was about to say something, but the door suddenly burst open.

"Dr. Im, Hunter Han Wooju!"

Nurse Mo Misuk, the chief nurse, entered the room without knocking.

"I'm sorry for interrupting your conversation, but you must see Patient Baek Gyubin at once," Nurse Mo Misuk said. "The patient seems to be in the middle of Awakening!"

Awakening?

Wooju was surprised again.

Baek Gyubin is going to Awaken as a Hunter?
