A Terminal Healer Needs an Obsessive Maniac

On the hill, covered with a thin layer of ash, Choi Kang-Hoo stood with his broad back turned, gazing at the blood-red horizon. Ryu Seo-Ha involuntarily shivered, his long eyelashes trembling slightly. A strange sense of unease washed over him.

'He's already gained control over this dream...'@@novelbin@@

Originally, Choi Kang-Hoo was supposed to meet him while hiding among the black rocks at the base of the hill, asleep, just like his real-world self. That was how the dream was initially set.

But without any adjustments to the settings, things had changed. Choi Kang-Hoo had somehow gained the ability to manipulate his location and the background of the dream to his will. His awareness of lucid dreaming was astonishingly fast—an impressive feat the more Ryu Seo-Ha learned about him.

Shaking off the inexplicable chill, Ryu Seo-Ha quietly approached, and Choi Kang-Hoo, who had been staring at the horizon with an unreadable expression, slowly turned his head to meet his gaze. It was only then that Ryu Seo-Ha noticed the small creature in his hand.

A Distorted Snail.

It was the first living being Choi Kang-Hoo had ever tamed, after using the [Devouring] trait to absorb the boss monster of its cluster and acquiring a taming skill. The monster, which had always produced two mana stones for every one it consumed for its master, had lived a short life and had perished just yesterday, in the current timeline.
