Elara Voss has spent eight years as a combat healer, bound by a Guild contract that decides where she goes, who she heals, and what she earns. Fifteen percent of every dungeon haul. The lowest share. The highest risk.

When her tank deliberately lets a mob hit her — because replacing a healer costs fifty gold and repairing a shield costs two hundred — Elara does the math one last time. She pays the termination fee. She walks out. She opens a freelance clinic in the roughest district in the city.

The Healer's Guild has crushed every independent healer for three hundred years. They will crush her too. They are certain of this.

They are wrong.

Because Elara discovers something in the process of fighting back: her healing abilities have offensive applications that nobody has ever explored. Understanding anatomy means understanding how to destroy it. Diagnosing disease means understanding how to cause it. Regeneration reversed is decay.

Nobody explored this because nobody was ever allowed to. The System's class trees were deliberately pruned. Healers were locked into a subservient path by design. And the conspiracy to keep them there goes back to the founding of the Guild itself.

The most dangerous class in the System is not Berserker, or Archmage, or Assassin.

It is Healer.

- A healer who discovers her class was deliberately crippled
- Clinic-building in a rough district with found family
- Detailed healing/offensive dual-path skill progression
- Righteous spite as fuel, not revenge as poison
- No harem — competence, compassion, and quiet fury
