I'm Really Not the Number One Containment Object!

Reporter: Dr. William Lawrence, what do you think accounts for your remarkable achievements in medicine? Extraordinary talent or hard work?

William: Neither. I owe it all to the “cadavers” that randomly spawn in the River Thames.

Reporter: ...And what has been the biggest challenge in your research?

William: Hmm... If I had to name one, maybe it’s that some of the cadavers don’t cooperate. Sometimes I have to kill them all over again before I can dissect them. It’s a real hassle.

William accidentally transmigrated to the Victorian era, a world shrouded in steam and coal smoke.

Starting at the bottom of a poorhouse, he was determined to rise through the ranks by studying medicine. Then he unexpectedly awakened a System: by killing or containing dangerous taboo objects, he could gain the corresponding skills.

[Successfully contained taboo: The Scholar’s High-Backed Chair. Skill acquired: The Scholar’s Legacy. Your learning ability and concentration are greatly improved.]

[Successfully killed taboo: The Drowned Prostitute. Skill acquired: Honeyed Tongue. For one minute, your words are more likely to earn the trust of others.]

While others used their skills to slay demons and monsters, William used his to advance his medical expertise.

He specialized in the untouched field of gynecology, gradually becoming the most trusted “master gynecologist” among London’s upper-class ladies.

That is, until the Taboo Containment Association came knocking and declared him the most dangerous containment object in its history.

William: How many times do I have to explain it? I’m really not the most dangerous containment object!
