[BL] Accidentally Becoming the Healer of the Deranged Archduke novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Bitter and Sweet Birthday

Xion had no idea when he had fallen asleep.

Despite having been held at knifepoint earlier, his dreams were light and absurdly sweet, as if his subconscious chose to drown the stress in sugar.

In his dream, a table stretched endlessly before him, laden with pancakes drizzled in golden syrup and floating crepes overflowing with whipped cream and melted chocolate.

He grabbed a pancake and tore off a piece with relish. His grin widened at the perfectly balanced sweetness. He hummed in delight, savoring the taste that danced on his tongue like pure bliss.

With eagerness, he extended his hand toward the crepes. But the crepe burst.

No, not burst. It disappeared.

The entire dream table folded in on itself, vanishing like morning mist. Meanwhile, red fog descended around him and a blaring alarm screamed in his ears.

"Alert! Alert! A thief has been found!"

Allen appeared with a dagger in his hand and just as Xion was about to scream for help, his eyes shot open.

His body jolted up. He sat there panting heavily. He could hear his heart roaring in his chest as he desperately looked around.

Ah, it is my room. The thought brought a sense of comfort.

He must have fallen asleep while studying, again. Raking his fingers through the disheveled hair, he sighed. What an utterly ridiculous dream.

Just when his jumping heart settled down, his system blared in his mind and Xion nearly toppled off the bed.

"Happy Birthday to the host, Xion Aijawa! Also, Congratulations on attaining a new level! You have been promoted from ’Average Customer’ to ’Loyal Customer!"

His eyes widened. As if sensing his proper attention, the robotic voice continued.

"You have been rewarded for upgrading your level!

Your reward: Magic Space unlocked!

Capacity: 10 slots (Upgradable).

Considering the host’s special interest in the medical field, the system has enhanced the biology and chemistry sections for your convenience.

50,000 Mall points have been added as a birthday gift.

Have a happy journey in upgrading further~"

Xion stared blankly into the dark space before him. Birthday?

He blinked as the remnants of sleep evaporated. The sudden announcement had shaken him awake entirely.

Slowly, a grin tugged at his lips as he summoned the system interface. His bright eyes darted to the corner of the screen where an absurd number glowed brightly: 99,000 mall points!

Nikolai’s recovery... That must have been the reason for the surge in points.

His fingers moved quickly through the menus. He eagerly explored new options, noticing how some items had disappeared while new ones had appeared.

The system had not lied. There were now expanded sections filled with medical resources. A budding excitement replaced his grogginess.

A bit more, and he would be able to open the system lab!

He followed the instructions for the Magic Space and closed his eyes. In his mind, he saw a virtual locker materialize with ten pristine drawers.

Testing it out, he placed items of varying sizes, from an apple to his entire bed. Everything went inside with ease.

"Convenient," Xion murmured, lips quirking into a small smile. The days of awkwardly carrying things while hiding medicines and safeguarding gold were over.
