How Am I Still Alive?

In a world experiencing a resurgence of spiritual energy and the arrival of gods, widespread disasters plague all life. However, for the protagonist, a terminally ill patient with a countdown to sudden death and who has abandoned treatment, these events are inconsequential. Driven by the allure of high-risk salary and a generous pension, they embark on a path of exorcism and demon slaying. Despite warnings about condemned evil arts that guarantee the practitioner's demise, cursed magic swords that devour their masters, and other perilous artifacts, the protagonist fearlessly acquires and utilizes them. They question why, despite actively seeking out all manner of dangerous tasks and seemingly courting death, they inexplicably continue to survive and thrive. Even being recognized as one of the world's ten most impactful heroes fails to satisfy their initial goal: to make an honorable sacrifice and secure a pension. The protagonist laments the difficulty of achieving this seemingly simple objective in a profession where the average survival time is a mere three and a half years, even for elite hunters.
