As soon as I got ho, I decided to test the God Hand.
“Nayu, lie down over there.”
“Nayu obediently nods.”
I quickly moved aside the snacks Jamsuni was eating and laid Nayu down.
Jamsuni turned to , annoyed.
“Ah, what now? Why did you bring this disaster magnet?”
“Don’t be surprised, just watch. Behold my new ability.”
“...What now?”
Crunch-
Jamsuni muttered while munching on potato chips.
“Back in my heyday, I used to develop a new ability every month.”
“Wait, what’s your rank?”
That’s when I noticed the monitor.
Challenger with 1300 points? Is that even a humanly possible score?
Jamsuni with her looks and Challenger-level skills...?
“Hey, hey, Jamsuni. Ever thought about streaming?”
“Nope. I don’t like the idea of selling my face to others. Oh, I got caught in a ga.”
Doesn't she know streaming is the trend these days???
Jamsuni could beco a legendary newbie.
But since I’ve decided not to make money off Jamsuni, I shook my head and looked at Nayu.
Nayu was looking at with a face full of anticipation.
How do you usually activate an ability?
Apart from making Nayu happy, I had no clue.
This was a ti to use Jamsuni-Wiki.
“Jamsuni, do people with spiritual abilities understand their abilities from the mont they awaken?”
“Not really. They’re called spiritual ability users or psychic once they vaguely realize their fundantal origin or vow through so catalyst. Most of them don’t even know exactly what their ability is.”
Fundantal origin, huh. I’ve heard that term before.
So, it’s about realizing sothing through so catalyst.
“...”
What have I realized recently?
That the at in instant noodles is actually fake at made of soybeans?
That mint chocolate might actually taste good?
“Hmm...?”
I’m getting hungry.
Anyway, I haven’t really realized anything.
“Nayu’s excited face! Nayu’s gentle urging!”
Nayu’s eyes sparkled as she looked at .
Yes, even without any realization, my God Hand is activating.
“So how do those who have vaguely realized their abilities activate them?”
“They use a ans of assistance. Most commonly, by reciting a spell.”
“A spell?”
Click-click-
Jamsuni spoke while gazing at the monitor.
“Incantation, enchantnt, spell. They’re all the sa. It’s about drawing out the ability with words that move your soul. There are other thods, too.”
“Other thods?”
“Vows. Making vows to the heavens. That way, you receive heavenly fortune and enhance your abilities.”
Jamsuni laughed as she killed her enemies in the ga.
“Yeah.”
“Do you just make any vow?”
“Of course, there are rules. You start by revealing your fundantal vow, your spiritual ability, and then you swear an oath to that ability. ‘I will not retreat in this battle.’ ‘I will definitely kill soone.’ Things like that.”
I rember seeing sothing like that at the DMZ.
“What happens if you break the vow?”
“The heavens rage. You receive as much heavenly punishnt as the fortune you received. And usually, the punishnt is nine tis stronger than the fortune.”
Heavenly punishnt... I heard about it from uncle.
A super-strong, surreal lightning from the angered heavens.
Getting struck turns you into a superconductor, or so they say.
Wait, the wrath of the heavens.
Maybe even I, without spiritual eyes, can see that.
“If you make a vow about a fake spiritual ability, does the heavenly punishnt still fall?”
“Of course! The spiritual ability is your fundantal vow. Betraying your fundantal vow definitely enrages the heavens. Real heavenly punishnt will fall as surely as a top laner cursing a jungler.”
Hearing that, I laughed.
Should I try getting struck by heavenly punishnt?
I must be crazy. Yes, I am crazy.
But even at the risk of death, I want to see ghosts.
So, what should I vow?
At that mont, Nayu caught my eye.
The crazy beauty with sky-blue hair.
Probably a poor girl who was possessed and then abandoned by her parents, ending up in this 600,000 won studio apartnt.
“I vow, with my ability, the God Hand that brings happiness, that I will soday save this poor Nayu with my own hands.”
In the doujinshi I read, won in the sa situation often end up being happy, so it’s not entirely wrong!!!
Right after I said that, Jamsuni quickly turned her head.
“Are you insane?! Damn you, the heavenly punishnt, damn it!”
“What, what’s going on?”
“Hey! I get that your defensive spells are legendary, but who the heck tests them on their own body like this! Saving soone cursed with heavenly punishnt? Speaking such impossible nonsense is why the heavens are infuriated!”
Jamsuni’s chatter suggested the heavenly punishnt had fallen.
Ha, still can’t see it.
I really wish I could feel sothing, anything, even the heavenly punishnt. Seriously.
“Nayu... salvation...?”
Nayu was staring at with a blank expression.
Oops, did I make her wait too long?
I touched Nayu’s forehead, and she rubbed her forehead against my hand with a happy expression.
There really is sothing about my hand.
“Nayu feels happy.”
Jamsuni comnted on this scene.
“Is Nayu over twenty? This generation’s priestess of the heavens has lived unusually long. But she’ll perish soon anyway. It’s always the sa with those cursed by the heavens.”
Jamsuni seed displeased with what Nayu and I were doing, whispering sothing in a quiet voice.
“What are they doing? If she weren’t on borrowed ti, I’d scold them right now... And what’s that about? Blocking the heavenly punishnt ant for the cursed? Is he blocking the heavens’ response? How precisely must one control spiritual power to do that? But doing sothing like that is bound to infuriate those involved with the heavenly punishnt...”
Jamsuni muttered sothing, but her voice was too soft to catch.
So, what kind of power does my God Hand have?
I wanted to experint more, but I couldn’t.
Nayu had fallen into a deep sleep.
It was a peaceful expression I hadn’t seen in a long ti.
“Ha.”
I gently covered Nayu with a blanket.
* * *
The day after experinting with the God Hand, I imdiately turned on the monitor upon waking up.
“Activate The God Hand. Manipulate fate!!!”
“Hmm, starting the morning with crazy stuff again.”
“I vow as the Golden Sun God Hand! To NTR fate with these hands!!!”
I rubbed my hands against the monitor.
Please, my power, activate just this once!
I may be fool for love, but this ti, it’s okay!!!
“What? No heavenly punishnt falling? Is Golden Sun God Hand really your power? Was the punishnt yesterday because it involved Nayu? Hold on, I need to see what is coming.”
Jamsuni, who was beside , said sothing and left, but that wasn’t what mattered now.
-“We now begin the 1112th lottery draw. This broadcast is live, with no manipulation...”
At that mont, Nayu, who was awake, murmured.
“7, 14, 22, 25, 29, 30, 43.”
“Nayu, what did you say?”
“Nayu’s sleepy yawn.”
As I turned around, the monitor announced.
-“We’ll start the draw. The first number is 7, let’s see the next. The next number is 14, and the following number. The next number is 22.”
My jaw dropped open.
Is this even real???
The completed numbers were exactly as Nayu had said.
Not a single number was wrong, including the bonus number.
I grabbed Nayu’s shoulder.
“This can’t be happening.”
“Nayu with a shy expression.”
Could it be that the ghost inside Nayu has supernatural powers? Powers so strong that it could predict the numbers of the lottery machine, which is safeguarded against the intervention of spiritual ability users?
I never imagined I’d have such a lucky charm beside .
Could it be that the sun is finally rising on my life?
At that mont, I heard Jamsuni’s voice.
“Hey, co out with Nayu. There are people here to pick her up.”
“Who are they?”
“That, I don’t know.”
Jamsuni avoids my gaze.
Hmm, sothing’s off.
Is it that Nayu’s newfound abilities have beco known, and now so folks like her parents have appeared, suddenly claiming parental rights? Of course, Nayu only demonstrated her extraordinary powers a few minutes ago, but that’s not the main issue for now.
I can’t lose Nayu.
She’s my chance for a life turnaround!!!
I made up my mind and quickly went downstairs.
The first floor was crowded with people who looked like powerful spiritual ability users.
“Who are you guys?”
“Hmph, doesn’t feel like you have much ability. Minions of the Three Realms, perhaps.”
The man leading them spoke arrogantly.
“Go and bring Miss Nayu. Yesterday, due to her neglecting her duties, many people suffered.”
“So, they were after Nayu all along.”
Rage, rage began to boil within .
Parents who abandon their children, then shalessly co running when the child succeeds. And there are even those who appear only to claim inheritance after their child’s death.
I can’t let these people take away my chance for a life turnaround, no, Nayu.
Honestly, fighting with spiritual ability users is intimidating, but I have no choice.
Earning money is always tough!!!
And I have a trick up my sleeve, so it’ll work out.
“What if I refuse?”
“Has he lost his mind? Then you’ll di...”
My fist was three tis faster than the man’s hand movent.
* * *
The mbers of the Heavenly Ordeal Sect were shocked. A man who seemingly had no abilities had just obliterated their superior’s face in one blow.
However, their expressions remained unchanged.
Biologically, it was impossible not to be surprised, but these individuals were trained to perfectly control even such biological reactions.
They identified the man before them as an enemy and began to make their vows.
“As a grey wolf who bites to kill, I vow not to flee from the battle with this man before .”
“As one who wields the principles of the wind, I vow not to fall until the man before is defeated.”
“As one who communes with plants and manipulates their souls, I vow against the man before ...”
And the man, now identified as the enemy, began his vow.
“As the God Hand who controls the minds of others with a smartphone, I vow that you’re going to get a beating today.”
“With a smartphone? Like a hypnosis app?! Is that even possible?!”
“Hypnosis? Like in the doujinshi?! What kind of ability is that?!”
“A false vow? But no divine punishnt has fallen.”
Hypnosis with a smartphone?
Since he declared it as a vow, it couldn’t be a fake ability.
Terrified by the prospect of being hypnotized, the Heavenly Ordeal Sect mbers averted their gaze from the man’s smartphone.
They absolutely couldn’t fall victim to Hypnosis.
“For so reason, we must avoid Hypnosis at all costs!!! Cough!!!”
As they diverted their gaze from the man’s smartphone,
The man’s fist ca to greet them instead.
