Gamer of the Dead

Book 2, Chapter 70:

"Bring the next one!" Bobby ordered, and a new blood drench patient on a stretcher was carried and dumped in the three tables operating room he is working with.

The massive tent was set up just outside the battlefield a few hours ago, and Bobby was up to his eyeballs fixing the unfixable. The tent was placed there simply because a nearby water tank is placed there with remaining several gallons still of water. Besides the blood-soaked hospital beds, there are several mobile tables that held all the medical tools needed to save a life.

The female ranger that was brought in, her breath ragged and far in between, has third-degree burns to over a third of her body. Bobby can see that she is still conscious and she was screaming silently because her throat was probably burned as well. Both eyes are destroyed, and no hair remained in her scalp. One ear is missing, and she is trashing around from panic and pain.

"Hold her down," Bobby grunted as he pushed her down the table, but her blackened stump of a hand clawed at his face, distracting him. 2 of the 5 doctors assisting him immediately complied and this gave Bobby the freedom to administer his magic.

Again, his hands glowed golden blue, and he clutched the woman's cheeks with both hands. With half-closed eyes, he stared at the patient until the soothing magic made the woman relax enough that her hands fell to her side slowly. Then the blackened skin gradually cracked and diminished until they were completely gone. Her fingers grew over the stump like growing plants on fast-forward and the accompanying nails emerged from the skin, good as new. 

Bobby concentrated even more, and he sees in his mage sight new cells regrow at an astonishing speed. Although the hair follicles started growing as well, Bobby kept her hair in semi-baldness simply because he didn't know the original style and length of her previous hair. The eyes regrow themselves automatically, as well as the missing ear. One of the eye sockets pushed one of the old burnt eyeballs out, and it fell to the floor with a flop, but barely anyone noticed it. Veins and synapses were reconnected or grown where there is none. And ever so slowly, the woman gasped when she realized she had used of her former sights and voice once more.

Bobby went further inside the body as he fixed the burns from within. Ruined organ parts and the esophagus, as well as other internal tubes, were cleaned out of soot and the wounds from the lining, making sure that the patient won't choke or get poisoned. Once the throat was rebuild, Bobby created a small bubble and let her lips touch the cool water from within, rehydrating her back.

"Sip, don't drink. Just let it flow into you," He said softly. It was also a direct check if her ear can now hear him.

The woman, who was obviously conscious, heard him and obeyed. Bobby looked at one of the female doctors. Without a word, she immediately covered the woman's eyes with bandages. The ranger weakly protested but the other murmured in her ears, and the ranger relaxed a bit. The female doctor continued to instruct the ranger while Bobby cleaned up a bit.

Bobby was sure that the ranger's eyes are working, but he instigated an hour ago that newly fixed eye injuries are to be covered up for the moment. A paladin who had the same problem made a ruckus awhile ago when he received his eyesight back out of the blue. It is best not to let them see the light immediately since the daylight will more likely create a headache for the patients.
