I'm the Only One With a Different Genre - Chapter 103

Chapter 103
Lian Collapses Again…
Th is w a s co pi e d f r o m k i ng m tl. or g

Startled, Lian met Noah’s eyes and ended up in her embrace.

“Huh..? Huh..?”

Lian began to stammer like a broken machine. Noah, holding him tightly, was panting heavily.

Th i s wa s co p i e d f ro m k i n g m tl . o r g
Thump! Thump! Thump!

Noah’s heart pounded as if it would explode. It felt like she was finally able to breathe after being suffocated.

“No, no, Noah..?”

Lian, in a daze, called out to Noah with his eyes tightly shut. His hands flailed in the air, unable to embrace her. Just as his trembling fingers were about to reach her back, Noah pulled away roughly.

T h i s w as co p i ed f r o m k in g m t l . o r g
Holding his shoulders again, Noah scrutinized Lian’s face.

The first thing she noticed was his reddened eyes and the blood trickling from his mouth, making it look like he had been crying.

‘You always…’

Thinking of how Lian must have swallowed his pain without anyone knowing, a mix of anger and sadness welled up inside Noah.

“Stop! Please, stop it now! How long… are you going to keep sacrificing yourself?”

“No… that…”

“And what about me, who became stronger to protect you?”

Seeing Noah on the verge of tears, Lian quickly tried to understand her words.

‘What? What did I do wrong?’

Just meeting Noah’s eyes made his head spin. After some effort, Lian realized why Noah was angry.

‘Ah! It must be because of the blood!’

For a moment, he wondered if she was angry because the floor was dirty, but he quickly dismissed that thought. It didn’t match her words about ‘protecting you’ or ‘sacrifice.’

Th i s w as cop ie d f r o m k i ng m t l. or g
“Ah! You were worried because I was bleeding!”

Fortunately, this time he got the right answer. The next problem was explaining it.

“It may look bad, but it’s nothing. This is just from hitting the corner…”

“You’re saying it’s nothing after spitting blood like that?”

Noah’s eyes flashed dangerously at Lian’s words. Her gaze shifted to the blood-soaked floor.

Lian’s eyes rolled as he thought.

‘How do I explain this?’

To explain in detail, he would have to start by saying he came from the gag world.

Apart from the fact that there was too much to explain, he wasn’t sure if Noah would accept the fact that he was not from this world.

Humans naturally reject things that are different from them. Even if Noah and the others accepted him now, a sense of distance would eventually develop.

In the worst case, they might feel disgusted and try to distance themselves.

Lian thought hard to come up with a plausible explanation.

“Um… you might not remember, but I once told you years ago that my body heals easily, and I feel much less pain than normal people. This is the same thing.”

“…!”
T h i s was c o p i e d f r om k i ngm tl . o r g

Noah’s face was filled with shock. Lian, thinking his excuse was convincing, continued.

“It’s like how our mouths water when we’re about to eat. It’s something similar to that. You don’t need to worry so much! I won’t suddenly die or anything… ah…”

As his words trailed off, Lian thought he might actually die if he encountered ‘that scene’ again. But Noah, who knew nothing about this, interpreted his words as ‘I might die, but I want to keep it a secret.’

While Noah paused to gather her thoughts, Lian spoke first.

“Noah… I have something I’m curious about.”

Lian’s eyes began to waver as he struggled to keep his gaze from drifting downward. His eyes, glancing down quickly, saw that her chest was as flat as before.

T h i s w a s c opi e d f r o m k in g m t l .or g
“Um, are you… uh… a woman?”

“Ah.”

Noah’s mind, already in chaos with worry for Lian, went blank as she realized her secret had been discovered.

“Was I mistaken…?”

“…”

Noah’s mind raced with various thoughts. Should she play dumb and say she didn’t know what he was talking about, or should she tell the truth?

Faced with these two paths, Noah hesitated.

‘What’s important right now isn’t that.’

What was important was Lian’s health, not her gender. It was a truth she would have to reveal eventually, so Noah nodded slightly, lowering her head.

“Th-then… ugh…”
T h i s was c o p i e d fr o m ki n g m t l .o r g

“…! Lian!”

Realizing that what he saw was real, Lian spewed blood from his mouth and nose and fainted.

Had Lian fainted a moment later, the mini Lians blinded by desire might have escaped and said something embarrassing like, “How many kids do you want?” But thanks to his quick escape, he avoided such an embarrassment.

“No…”

Noah, with a dazed look on her face, hugged the collapsed Lian. Her body trembled like a leaf.

Suddenly!

Noah picked Lian up and started running down the hallway.

Her awakened body sped through the corridors at an incredible speed. She stopped in front of a door labeled ‘Infirmary.’

T h i s w a s cop i e d fr o m k in g m tl . o r g
Mukan had been waiting there in case anyone found Lian while they were searching the main building.

Bang!

Noah burst through the door, almost breaking it. Mukan, who was chewing on something like cud, looked at Noah.

“M-Mukan…! Lian!”
T h is w as co p i e d f r o m k in g m t l . o r g

Noah looked like she was about to burst into tears. Mukan immediately stood up and pointed to the bed.

T h i s wa s c o pi ed f r o m k in g m t l . o rg
“Lay him there.”

At Mukan’s instruction, Noah hastily brought Lian to the bed. Mukan, rubbing her dark-circled eyes, watched as Noah gently laid Lian down as if he were a fragile object.

‘They say he has a lover; it seems to be true.’

Whether the boss had a lover or not wasn’t important to Mukan. She approached Lian with a blank expression.

‘Seeing the dried blood around his mouth, it looks like there might be something wrong with his organs. And… hmm?’

As she examined Lian from top to bottom, Mukan furrowed her brows at something she noticed. Noah, who was standing nearby with a worried expression, couldn’t hold back.

“What’s his condition? Is it serious?”

“Serious or not, this is… sigh…”

Mukan looked down at Lian with a very annoyed expression. Noah, her face pale, urged her.

“What is it? Is there something seriously wrong?”

“Here.”

Reluctantly, Mukan pointed to Lian’s forehead. It was slightly swollen from repeatedly hitting the wall. Only then did Noah notice the wound on his forehead.

Mukan, chewing on a now-down-to-the-finger-length piece of cud, continued.

“This is a self-inflicted wound.”

“What…?”

“In simple terms, he hurt himself.”

At Mukan’s casual words, Noah froze. The unexpected statement left her mind white with shock.

Mukan ignored her boss, who was rendered speechless, and continued to examine Lian more closely. Before long, her expression turned strange.

‘What is this?’

Mukan, who had been treated as a healer in the harsh land of Cardishian, had a special ability that allowed her to sense how to treat someone just by observing them, even if she lacked medical knowledge.

Although she couldn’t pinpoint the exact treatment needed or how long a remedy should be applied, she could instinctively sense what kind of procedure or medication might work.

This ability made her invaluable in a place where gaining proper medical knowledge often required risking one’s life.

‘I don’t understand what this means.’

Every time she looked at Lian’s body, she felt an inexplicable intuition, like an itch she couldn’t locate.

It was because she was receiving strange information about his organs’ peculiar movements, his unreadable mind, and the unknown mechanism of his healing.

There was no way she could understand such bizarre information.

‘I’ve only seen something like this once before.’

Mukan finally remembered a similar case in the past. With a nonchalant face, she asked Noah.

“Is this person… a chimera?”
