I’m the Only One Who Can’t See Ghosts

24 – GOD HAND(2)

Upon returning home, I immediately decided to test God Hand.

“Na-yu, lie down over there.”

“Na-yu obediently nodded.”

I briefly cleared away the snacks that Jamie was eating and laid Na-yu down. Then Jamie looked at me irritably.

“What is it? Why did you bring the crybaby here?”

“Don’t be surprised, just watch. Witness my new ability.”

“What now?”

Crunch – Jamie picked up a potato chip and mumbled.

“When I was in the guild, I developed one ability per month.”

“Wait, what’s your rank?”

Only then did the monitor catch my eye.

Challenger 1300 points? Is this the score range that humans can achieve?

Jamie’s skill level is at the Challenger level with visuals like that…?

“Hey, hey. Jamie, don’t you want to appear on broadcasting?”

“No, I don’t. I don’t like being recognized by other people based on my face. Oh, I got caught in a game.”

Doesn’t Jamie know that being on broadcasting is the trend these days???

With Jamie, she could become a truly outstanding rookie.

But since I decided to give up on making money with Jamie, I shook my head and looked at Na-yu. Na-yu was looking at me with an expression full of anticipation.

How do abilities normally activate?

Other than making Na-yu happy, I don’t have any idea about how it works.

At times like this, I had to use the Jamie Wiki.

“Jamie, do people with special abilities understand their abilities from the moment they awaken?”

“No, they don’t. They are called ability-holders once they vaguely realize their fundamental aspiration through some catalyst. Most of those guys don’t know exactly what their abilities are.”

Ocean Ancestral Hall. That was a phrase I had heard before.

Anyway, I had to come to some realization through some means.

“···.”

What have I realized lately?

That the meat in instant noodles is actually fake meat made of soybeans?

That mint chocolate might actually be delicious?

“Hmm···?”

I’m getting hungry.

Anyway, I hadn’t really come to any realization.

“A face full of anticipation! Not an impatient face, but a face full of anticipation!”

Nayu looked at me with sparkling eyes.

Yeah, even if I haven’t realized anything, my God Hand is still working.

“Then how do those who vaguely realize their abilities activate them?”

“Equip auxiliary means. The most common way is to memorize spells.”

“Spells?”

Click clack – Jamsooni looked at the monitor and spoke.

“Incantation, invocation, spell. They all mean the same thing. It’s about summoning abilities with words that move their own souls. There are other ways too, though.”

“Other ways?”

“Oaths. Making a vow to the heavens. Then you’ll receive heavenly luck, and your abilities will be enhanced.”

Jamsooni laughed while killing enemies.

“Carry.”

“Do you just make any vow?”

“Of course there are rules. First, you reveal your inherent vow and your supernatural ability, and then you swear upon that ability. I will not retreat in this battle. I will definitely kill someone. Things like that.”

Come to think of it, I think I saw that at Pian Station and the DMZ.

“What happens if you break that vow?”

“Heaven gets angry. Your heavenly luck decreases in proportion to the luck you received. And usually, heavenly punishment is nine times stronger than heavenly luck. That’s the rule.”

Heavenly punishment (천겁). I heard that term from the old man before.

He said it was an extremely powerful hyper-realistic lightning that falls when heaven gets angry.

If it hits you, you turn into a superconductor in one shot or something like that.

Wait, it’s the wrath of heaven.

If it’s this, even a country without peace can be seen.

“Are there really people who pretend to have supernatural abilities?”

“Of course! Supernatural abilities are the essence of our vows. So if we betray our essence, it’s only natural for the heavens to get angry. It’s like the heavens cursing the tower in the jungle.”

I laughed upon hearing those words.

Should I try experiencing supernatural abilities?

I must be crazy. Yes, I am crazy.

But even if there’s a chance of dying, I want to see ghosts.

So, what should be my vow?

At that moment, Yuna caught my eye.

A crazy beauty with sky-blue hair.

Probably a poor girl who was possessed and abandoned by her parents, coming to this 600,000 won studio apartment.

“I vow to use my ability to bring happiness. Someday, I will save this poor Yuna with my own hands.”

In the stories I read, women in the same situation often end up being happy, so it’s not a wrong statement!!!

As soon as I said that, Jamsun turned her head.

“Hey, are you crazy?! Damn, you’re crazy about supernatural abilities!”

“What, what’s wrong?”

“Hey! I know your defense style is legendary-level, but where’s the guy who turns himself into a test subject on the spot! Saving Yuna with supernatural abilities? That’s an impossible thing to say, and it made the heavens angry!”

Seeing Jamsun talking like that, it seems she’s losing her supernatural ability.

Sigh, it seems like I can’t see anything after all.

I just wish I could feel something, whether it’s supernatural abilities or anything else. Please.

“Yuna…saved?”

Yuna looked at me with a dazed expression.

Oh no, did I make her wait too long.

I touched Yuna’s forehead. And then Yuna smiled and gently pressed her forehead against my hand. Indeed, there is something in my hand.

“Yuna feels happy.”

Seeing that scene, Jamsun said one word.

“Yuna must be over twenty years old. This time, the heavenly fairy lived longer than ever. But she will soon perish just like the other supernatural beings.”

Jamsun whispered something in a quiet voice, perhaps dissatisfied with what Yuna and I were doing.

“What are you doing there? If it weren’t for the imminent death, I would have scolded you right away… Anyway, what are you doing? Are you preventing supernatural beings from receiving their supernatural abilities? Is it possible to block the heaven’s sympathy in such an exquisite manner? But if you do such a thing, the guys related to Pi Geop-nan will surely get angry…”

Jamsun muttered something, but her voice was too small to be easily heard.

So, what abilities does my Hot Hand have?

I wanted to experiment a little more, but I couldn’t.

Because Nayeon was fast asleep.

It was such a comforting expression, one that I hadn’t seen in a long time.

“Sigh.”

I covered Nayeon with a blanket.

The day after experimenting with the Hot Hand.

As soon as I woke up, I turned on the monitor.

“Hot Hand activation. Manipulating destiny!!!”

“Hmm, what kind of madness are you up to now, early in the morning?”

“As a Gold Sun Hot Hand, I vow! I shall NTR fate with these hands!!!”

I tapped my hand on the monitor.

Please, my abilities, just once, activate!

I may be a fool for love, but this time it’s okay, just this once!!!

“What the heck? Aren’t you scared at all? Is Gold Sun Hot Hand really your ability? Was yesterday’s scare related to Nayeon? Wait a moment, I’ll go see who’s coming.”

Though Jamsun spoke beside me, it wasn’t important right now.

“Now, we will begin the lottery draw for the 1,112th time. This broadcast is a live broadcast, without any manipulation…”

At that moment, Nayeon, who was lying down, mumbled.

“7, 14, 22, 25, 29, 30, 43.”

“Nayeon, what did you say?”

“Nayeon’s sleepy yawn.”

When I turned around, the monitor said this.

“Now, we will begin the draw. The first number is 7, come on, let’s see the next number. The next number is 14, and now, I will announce the following number. The next number is 22.”

My mouth dropped open.

This is insane???

The numbers that were drawn were exactly the ones Nayeon had mentioned.

Not a single number was wrong, including the bonus number.

I grabbed Nayeon’s shoulders.

“This, this can’t be true.”

“Nayu’s embarrassed expression.”

Could it be that the ghost inside Nayu is a ghost with psychic abilities? And to the extent of correctly guessing the numbers of that lotto machine, which has been thoroughly protected from any interference by psychics?

I never expected to have such a noble person by my side.

Could this finally be the day when the sun rises in my life?

At that moment, I heard Jamsooni’s voice.

“Hey, Nayu, come out with me. There are people who came to take Nayu.”

“Who are they?”

“Well, I don’t know.”

Jamsooni avoids my gaze.

Hm, this is strange.

Now that it’s known that Nayu has such abilities, are there authors acting like parents, suddenly appearing and claiming guardianship in order to prevent interference? Of course, Nayu exhibited these psychic abilities just a few minutes ago, but that wasn’t important.

Nayu cannot be taken away from me.

The chance for a turnaround in my life!!!

I made up my mind and quickly went downstairs.

On the first floor, there were many people who looked like somewhat capable psychics.

“Who are you guys?”

“Hmph, I can’t sense any special abilities from you. Are you one of Samjon’s lackeys?”

The man standing at the forefront arrogantly spoke.

“Go and bring Nayu with you. Yesterday, Nayu neglected her duty and many people suffered as a result.”

“Those guys really came for Nayu, after all.”

Anger, anger boiled up.

Parents who abandon their own children and then rush in like leeches when their own children succeed. There are even parents who only appear to claim their inheritance, even when their own children have died.

I won’t let these guys take away my chance for a turnaround in life, no, Nayu.

Honestly, fighting against psychics does make me a bit nervous, but I have no choice.

Making money is always a tough game!!!

And I have a trick up my sleeve, so somehow it will work out.

“If you refuse?”

“Are you mad? Then I’ll k-“

My fist was three times faster than the man raising his hand.

* * *

The members of the Heavenly Wolf Gang were astounded. It was unimaginable for a man with no apparent abilities to have slaughtered their leader with his own sword.

However, their expressions did not change.

It was biologically astonishing, but that was precisely why they were trained to perfectly control such biological reactions.

They began to size up the man in front of them and started their assault.

“I will face this man as a gray wolf that devours its prey. I will not run from the fight.”

“I will face this man as a person who controls the wind. I will not fall before I bring him down.”

“I will face this man as a person who manipulates the soul of the forest. I will not…”

And the man they sized up began to size them up as well.

“I will face you as a person who controls the minds of others with a smartphone. You will all submit today.”

“Smartphone? Mind control app?! Is that even possible?!”

“Mind control? Like hypnosis?!”

They were skeptical of the smartphone mind control.

Since he had challenged them publicly, it was highly unlikely that he was bluffing.

The Heavenly Wolf Gang was terrified and avoided looking at the man’s smartphone.

Mind control was something they could not handle.

“For some reason, I must avoid mind control!!! Cough!!!”

As he turned his gaze away from the man’s smartphone,

The man’s fist came looking for him.
