The previous month had been the most chaotic in Human History, perhaps comparable to the Great Catastrophe when Dungeons began appearing in the Human World.

The Aurum Guild, one of the highest ranking Guilds, had been accused of colluding with the Fallen, beings who sold themselves to the demons in exchange for power.

The power hierarchy would have to be restructured on a major scale, and distrust among the masses had been on the rise along with fear for the Fallen.

At the same time, a miracle had descended upon them, giving them hope once more. The Hero League President's grandson, who had been afflicted with a fatal Curse, destined for death, had mysteriously been healed.

Reporters from media houses all over the Continent were swarming the hospital, waiting to meet the First Survivor of the Curse, though the President's guards maintained a high level of security to make sure nobody went inside.

However, inside the hospital research lab, a very similar kind of exciting atmosphere was prevalent.

"This is revolutionary...no, it's no less than God's miracle." Devi and her team of researchers marvelled at Ryder's blood sample.

"Professor, you have to ask the President where in the world he found such an amazing Potion." One of her junior researchers urged Devi.

"Yes, Professor. If we can reverse engineer this Potion, the humans could very well be the first to reverse the tide against the Demons. Even other Races would be begging us to help them." A second researcher excitedly added.

Surprisingly, Devi did not join in the excitement of her team and just shook her head. "There's no use. The Potion was a one-time use reward he found in a Dungeon. There is no way to get our hands on a second one."

"Maybe you can ask him for the location of the Dungeon? We might be lucky enough to find another one."

"I will see what I can do."

Although Devi reassured her colleagues, there was no way she was going to do that.

A Potion this powerful...there is no way other Guilds weren't fighting for that information right now. She had no wish to throw herself into the merciless world of politics and ruin her life.

'Let's go and run a few more tests on Ryder.' Although she wasn't brave enough to fight the President for the information, there was no way her thirst for knowledge as a researcher was going to waste this opportunity.

And if Ryder had truly drunk the world's only Curse-Breaking Potion, then the best place to find answers was already waiting for her in her lab.

'For now, I should go check up on Ryder.'

She changed out of her lab uniform and headed towards the VIP patient ward.

"Ms. Devi, you are already here?" The receptionist greeted her in the lobby. "It's so amazing that Master Ryder was able to get well. It must be thanks to your continuous effort."

"Well..." All Devi could do was reply with an awkward laugh.

Although the other nurses looked at her with respect for continuing her research on Curses, even when countless other doctors and researchers gave up on it, she knew better than anyone that she was completely useless in Ryder's recovery.

But this will not stop her from extracting all the information she can from Ryder's blood and recreating the Potion. That would be the only way she could be worthy of all the praise she is receiving right now for not giving up on Ryder's treatment.

And the first step in her plan will be monitoring the changes in Ryder's system.

"Has Ryder shown any signs of discomfort or any abnormalities in his blood?" She asked the nurse, checking Ryder's records.
