A.N: Since you guys want me to focus on the plot, I will just do that.
Maybe I am just pathetic at writing smut. It was my first time; sorry for the inconvenience.
If anyone was enjoying the smut, at the end of the story, I will just write the smut and post them at the end of the story.
Once again, thank you for reading the story.

Even with a large number of healers in this world, the number of patients never actually went down; rather, it increased.
The healers were used specifically for hunters and teamed up with them during the raids.
Looking around, I could see a large number of people coming to the hospital to get treated, some were in the ICU for serious injuries.
If the healers had been integrated into the structure, then the death rate would have gone down by at least 50 percent.
'This shows the lack of world-building the author did. Just ten years ago, gates appeared, yet the society did not go through any collapse and worked together. Sounds nice, but that's not how human behavior works.'
A common man, on getting awakened as an S-Rank, would his first thought be... oh, I can protect people now... but the second thought?
I can probably do whatever I want with this strength, and nobody will oppose me, right?
Yeah, there are other hunters to counter him, but still, there are bound to be people who use their powers for their own selfishness, yet the author never showed that in the series.
'Guess he was busy looking for more aura farming ways for Jin Woo.'
Shaking off these thoughts, I move towards the room number Soo Yeon gave me.
For the past three days, Mom and I have been going around and having fun.
Today was the day to meet that shitface architect, but there were still a few hours left for that.
Last night, when I was with Mom, Soo Yeon texted me.
I thought that it was about the dungeon, but she told me about her mother's condition and how she was thinking that conquering the Demon Monarch's dungeon could lead to a possible solution, but due to the lack of time, she could not complete the dungeon and asked me if I knew of a way to heal her.
I told her that I did know of a way and I will bring it to her, and so I was here, standing in front of the room 110, in which her mother had been admitted for the past few years.
As I entered the room, Soo Yeon was already there and was sitting beside her mother. She was lost in thought, and it's kinda understandable as the information I gave her that day was a bit too much; she might be thinking about how it might affect her family.
"You are late." Although she seemed like complaining, her face had a small smile, as if relieved that I was there.
"Sorry, sorry ~ there was this grandma on one side of the road and couldn't cross it, so I helped her, then there was a cat stuck on the tree~."
She just looked at me with a dead look, clearly not buying it.
"So, how can you wake up my mother?"
"I have this ability of mine that can do the work."
I went near her mom, who was still in a coma. Standing right beside Soo Yeon, I took her mother's hand in mine as I tried to sense the condition of her body.
It seemed that her cells were not able to handle the mana that was in the surroundings, and it slowly led to cell decay.
In a way to use the excess energy, her body went into some sort of metamorphosis that slowly led to the depletion of her neural functions, rendering her in what they call Eternal Sleep.
"Can you do it?"
"I most certainly can, but for now, be quiet, my shadow princess."
'Hmm, the essence stones they use, while they provide the energy for the body to function and survive, but at the same time, it increases the amount of mana the body is exposed leading to a loop of energy usage and absorption that in turn leads the person into a coma.'
'These essence stones... though they are keeping her alive, they also act as the continuity of the problem, yet if we were to remove them, she would die due to lack of neural functioning.'
This was a paradox, and that is why the doctors were unable to cure it. It is complicated to even detect this effect due to a lack of research on mana, but nothing a wave of RCT can't take care of.
With that, I ran RCT as her excess mana in her body was absorbed into my body while giving her resistance and adaptability toward mana.
Then her nerve endings that were severely damaged started to heal.
Within a minute, her vitals had started to come back to normal as her pale complexion changed to life-like and her skinny body started to puff up a bit.
Checking her body again, I removed my hand as I sensed that she was coming back to her senses.
Soo Yeon was looking at me with hope as she saw her mother's body in a visibly better condition than before.
"She should be waking up any time now."
And just as I completed my words, she opened her eyes as she tried to recognize where she was.
And then, we had a mother and daughter bonding session where our Shadow Queen cried, losing her mysterious aura farming side and showing that she too had emotions.
I silently took a few pictures of her while she was crying her heart out... cause why not?
I just stood silently in the corner. While I agree that I blabber too much, even I understand when to blabber and when to be serious.
After their reunion was done, her mother asked me who I was, and I took my chance as I proclaimed that I was her boyfriend!
Soo Yeon immediately retorted to this as loud as she could.
Fast forward, we shifted her mother and Jin-Ah to Aunt H's house cause the doctors were stupefied at the fully restored Aunty Park. Yeah, that's what I started to call her.
The doctors wanted her to stay at the hospital, but I just flared my mana, and they started cowering in fear.
We decided that it would be for the better if they shifted to Aunt's house for some days as Soo Yeon was not recognized as an S rank yet, so these crazy guys might try to pull some shit while she was not around.
With my mom being around the family, her mother would be safe even if we were not around.
Aunt H happily welcomed her and said the doors were always open to my friends.
After all of this was done, it was time to meet the Architect.

Guys, I will be taking a break to write Extra Chapters to publish on my Patreon.
Gotta earn some money to sustain.
It might take around 3-4 days or a week, so please bear with me.
Thank You
