Chapter: 8

“Hmmm?”

Doctor Baek then walked up with an interested look on his face. He was the designated doctor for the Lord of the Demonic Cult, and was nicknamed Demon Doctor in the cult.

“Prince Chun, we know each other, don’t we?”

“Of course, Doctor.”

There wasn’t anyone in the cult that didn’t know about the doctor. Also, Yeowun had met him when his mother was sick.

“Give me your hand. Let me feel your pulse.”

“T-that’s...”

His hand was sticky from the ooze so it was embarrassing to show it to him. The doctor said it was okay he reached out so that Yeowun could give him his hand. The doctor checked his pulse for a while and opened his eyes in astonishment.

“This is very interesting.”

“What is it? Doctor Baek, did something happen to the Prince?”

Jang asked with a frown, but the doctor shook his head and smiled, “No. This is very good actually.”

“What are you talking about?”

“The entire body has been cleansed of any dirty substances and his energy flow has been activated. Did he consume a special kind of medicine or something?”

Yeowun was confused.

“You now have the perfect body to train in martial arts.”

“What?”

Yeowun then understood what the doctor said and became shocked. The black ooze that came out from his body was actually the dirty substances stuck inside his body. What was better was that his energy was now flowing, so he could now learn how to use his internal energy.

‘Hey, Nano Machine. Did you do this?’

[...]

[Deactivating silence mode?]

‘...Yeah.’

[Deactivated. Yes, Master. The nanomachines have extracted the unnecessary substances from your body and have reshaped the blood, muscles, and joints to best fit your body shape.]

‘...Wow.’

Yeowun assumed that it was probably because of the Nano Machine, but it was even more shocking to hear it from the Nano Machine itself.

‘Are you really not a Ma Sin (Evil God)?’

[I am a machine, not Ma Sin, Master.]

The Nano Machine answered with its mechanical voice.

Cheon Yeowun was a boy, but he was not a fool. He had overcome many hardships and assassination attempts that made him stronger and smarter. He knew the importance of a weapon if he had one, and also knew he had to keep it a secret if he were to keep himself alive.

‘I have to keep it secret that I have Nano Machine in me.’

Cheon Yeowun wasn’t aware of it, but there was no way that the medical knowledge of this era would be able to find the Nano Machine. However, Yeowun did not know this, so he didn’t feel good about letting Doctor Baek know as he was from one of the six families, Dokmajong.
