How Am I Still Alive? Novel

In a world where spiritual energy has resurrected and gods have returned, bringing continuous disasters, a terminally ill patient declared to have only days to live has abandoned treatment. He takes on dangerous exorcism and monster-hunting jobs—not out of heroism, but because the hazard pay and death benefits are too tempting. While others fear cursed arts that guarantee death, demonic weapons that devour their masters, and forbidden medicines, he eagerly accepts them all. He volunteers for every high-risk mission, triggers every deadly trap, and uses every forbidden technique. The catch? Despite doing everything that should kill him, he refuses to die. Now unexpectedly thriving as an S-rank hunter and named one of the world's top ten heroes, he faces an absurd dilemma: in a profession where the average survival time is three and a half years, why is he still alive? All he wanted was an honorable death to secure pension benefits for his family.
