I Have Awakened, but Mosquitoes Are My Enemies

“Especially if you can’t find it in the market, it must be that valuable.”

“It is.”

Only dozens of 4-star magic stones needed to complete one 4-star magic avoidance ring.

Therefore, in terms of value, it may be at least billions, no, 10 billion..

In fact, Cha Soo-hyeok doesn’t even know how much.

I know that the 3-star magic avoidance ring, which is lower than this, is worth about 2 billion.

“What Kang Joon-young did today is worth several times more than these items, so don’t be burdened. It is worthwhile just to have saved 12 people, but it is even more meaningful that they are all Korea’s precious Awakeners. Especially for me and my wife, he is a benefactor that will not exist again in the world.”

“I am ashamed to say that. In fact, I only focused on saving people rather than thinking about these rewards.”

“It seemed so. So I am even more grateful.”

Cha Soo-hyuk smiled happily.

Impressed by Junyoung’s heart, he paid more attention and gave me a 4-star magic avoidance ring.

It took a bit of sweat persuading the director, but it was rewarding because Junyoung liked it.

“Oh, if you tap the magic stone on the ring, you should be able to see a brief information window like this.”

[4-Star Magic Evasion Ring]

-Attribute: Avoid Magic (Level 4)

-Energy: 100/100

“oh! okay.”

Curiously, like the status window, the item information window appears.

“The important thing here is energy. Energy is a concept similar to durability, and energy is consumed when the ring functions.”

“So if I use up all the energy, will the ring become unusable?”

“The ring won’t break if its energy goes to zero, but it won’t have any magic avoidance properties. But you don’t have to worry because you can recharge your energy.”

There are two main methods of charging.

First, if you bring it to the National Guard, it will be charged for free.

Second, if you have magic stones, you can recharge yourself with them.

“Is it possible to recharge with any magic stone?”

“Yes, if you just bring the magic crystal to the ring, the energy of the magic crystal will automatically charge the magic crystal in the ring. If the energy of this ring reaches 0, you can think of it as being able to buffer it with one 1-star magic stone.”

If it is a 1-star magic stone, Junyoung also has one.

‘It’s at least millions of won, but it’s possible to fully charge it once with this?’

If possible, it would be good for your mental health to come to the National Guard and recharge for free.

Still, when the ring’s energy ran out at the gate, it was inevitable that it would have to be recharged using magic stones as soon as possible.

‘It would be better to carry a few magic stones.’

This is the moment when you can understand why magic stones are treated expensively.

“And these aren’t much compared to a 4-star magic avoidance ring, but they are equipment that can be of some help to Junyoung Kang.”

Cha Soo-hyeok took out a top and bottom similar to a training suit, a pair of sneakers, and a pair of gloves from a large box.

[Top of 2-star stamina]

– Attributes: physical defense (level 2), magic defense (level 2), heat resistance (level 1), cold resistance (level 1)

-Added Attribute: Recover HP (Step 1)

-Energy: 100/100

[2-Star Mana Bottoms]

– Attributes: physical defense (level 2), magic defense (level 2), heat resistance (level 1), cold resistance (level 1)

-Added Attribute: Mana Recovery (Step 1)

-Energy: 100/100

“Both the top and bottom have 2 levels of physical and magic defense applied, and are made to withstand extreme heat and cold environments. There is a slight increase in health and mana regeneration while resting, but this is not what you would expect.”

Continuing, Cha Soo-hyeok pointed to a pair of sneakers.

[2-Star Leap Sneakers][Left/Right]

– Attributes: physical defense (level 2), magic defense (level 2), heat resistance (level 1), cold resistance (level 1)

-Additional Attributes: Leap (Step 1), Landing (Step 1)

-Energy: 100/100

“These are sneakers that allow you to jump high with the 1st level jump ability attached. There is also a landing stage that absorbs shock when jumping from a high place, so it increases survivability at gates in rough terrain.”

Finally, a pair of black gloves.

[Gloves of 2-star attack][Left/Right]

– Attributes: physical defense (level 2), magic defense (level 2), heat resistance (level 1), cold resistance (level 1)

-Additional Attribute: Strengthen Attack Power (Step 1)

-Energy: 100/100

“This is a glove with 1st level of attack power enhancement that increases the attack power of the skill. In the case of Kang Jun-young, when attacking enemies with agile hands, wearing these gloves will allow him to exert more power.”

“I think it will be very useful.”

While everything else is defense-oriented equipment, the [2-Star Attack Gloves] was a very weak item that increased attack power as well as defense.

“I don’t know if you will like it.”

“I like it very much. It’s almost burdensome because you brought such good equipment. I wonder if it is really right to rent it without any conditions.”

No matter how much I treated 12 patients, I thought it was too much compensation.

In addition to this, you will already receive benefits of 40 million won per month.

Then Cha Soo-hyeok grinned.

“yes. It is correct to rent it without any conditions, but if a vampiric patient occurs like this time, we can ask for help once in a while.”

“That’s about it, of course we have to cooperate.”

“hahahaha, I would appreciate it if you could visit me once in a while to recharge the equipment.”

“of course.”

When Junyoung nodded, Cha Soo-hyeok put Junyoung’s equipment neatly in a box and suddenly said,

“By the way, Kang Joon-young’s special ability, agile hands.”

“yes.”

“Have you ever shown power when holding a weapon and attacking an enemy?”

“no! I tried wielding my weapon when fighting the vampire, but to no avail. So I just punched him.”

Then, Cha Soo-hyeok’s eyes lit up.

“I have some thoughts based on the various Awakened data that I have accumulated over the years. Maybe that agile hand can transfer its power to a weapon other than bare hands.”

“Is that true?”

“yes. If it is a magic stone weapon, it is possible. Of course, it should fit in your hand.”

Cha Soo-hyuk stood up and said.

“Since you’ve come before, I’ll bring you a weapon.”

“yes? A weapon?”

“hahahaha, of course. I wonder if my thoughts are correct, and if that happens, it will be of great help to Kang Joon-young.”

What if you could really transfer the power of ＜Agile Hand＞ to a weapon?

‘I thought that was impossible.’

However, Cha Soo-hyeok’s words did not just come out.

This is what I say after analyzing the data of countless awakened people.

‘Well, I’ve never wielded a magic stone weapon before.’

For some reason, my heart races.

What if the power of a nimble hand could be harnessed through a weapon?

‘Then I’ll be able to inflict several times stronger damage.’

What kind of weapon will Cha Soo-hyeok pack?

“This way. Please follow me.”

“yes.”

Joon-young followed Cha Soo-hyeok with a feeling of anticipation.

Meanwhile, Go Tae-wook, director of the Gate Management Bureau, was in a meeting with a group of people with serious expressions.

“What did you say now? The Gangnam Station building evaporated?”

“It’s not evaporation, it’s a barrier blockade. The building exists as it is, but it is in a state of being isolated from the outside world by a barrier.”

“Tell me more! Which building is the barrier closed?”

“This is the SY building. From the parking lot to the roof, only that building is blocked.”

“Damn it! I don’t know what kind of absurd thing this is.”

“I was anxious, but it seems that this kind of thing is also happening in Korea.”

Not even the village, but the whole building is in danger of disappearing.

“Then did you think that Korea would be an exception? What is the current situation?”

“Once, we started controlling people from approaching the area.”

“What about the building survivors?”

“You won’t know until you enter the barrier. It is estimated that there are many survivors, but it is a situation where we cannot rush in a rescue team because we do not know what kind of danger there may be.”

“Let’s make a team with A-class hunters right now. It’s an uncertain situation, so only hunters with the highest skills. Got it?”

“yes.”

* * *

“Hurry up, hurry up!”

“There is no time! Contact the A-rank hunters on this list as soon as possible!”

“Are you the A-class hunter Kwak Hye-na? It’s nothing else, the Gangnam Station SY Building is…”

“yes. yes. Minjae Kim Hunter said he just entered the gate? All right.”

“Isn’t that the number of A-class hunter Han Ji-hoon? yes? Did you go to the sauna? I’m sorry, but can you tell me something urgently? Now at Gangnam Station…”

Joon-young followed Cha Soo-hyuk out of the reception room at the Gate Management Office.

Then, the staff of the special department of the Management Bureau are busy calling, and the sound of movement is heard.

“Chief Tea! It seems that something urgent has happened at Gangnam Station?”

“That’s true, but I’ll start by finding a weapon for you.”

Seeing his steps speed up, Cha Soo-hyeok seems to be in a hurry as well.

“Everyone has arrived. It’s a warehouse over there.”

“yes.”

A warehouse where various Awakened equipment is stored, starting with the latest magic stone weapons made by the Awakening Weapon Research Institute of the National Guardian Agency.

T-T-D! TDDDDING! Chow! Cheer up!

There were several layers of various security devices in the way, but Cha Soo-hyeok easily passed through using his ID card, iris, and fingerprint.

“I consider it. It’s a collection of the most usable of the equipment available for rent. They are all magic stone weapons.”

“Are they all made in the lab?”

“no. One of them was found in a barrier created by chance.”

Various swords, spears, bows, axes, and other weapons were on display.

“Do you have a favorite weapon among them?”

“Can I choose?”

“of course.”

Everything looks great, everything looks fine.

However, it is not a matter of pretentiousness, and a weapon can exert its power only when it fits in the hand.

To Junyoung, such a weapon is, of course, a sword.

‘There are 12 swords on the display stand.’

Which sword would you prefer?

Just looking at it, everything looks fine.

Junyoung’s sharp gaze stopped at the silver sword on the far right.

If you look closely, it’s not just silver, but a mysterious light that looks like a mixture of blue and silver.

‘hmm?’

An image suddenly comes to mind.

‘Come to think of it, the hair color is similar to that of the vampire I saw by the Han River not too long ago.’

A beautiful appearance that doesn’t look like a vampire at all. Her blue-silver hair was very mysterious.

‘I like this sword for some reason.’

A mysterious blue-silver sword.

However, the problem is that the sword body looks thin and frail, so I feel that it is not as strong as other swords.

‘I think it will break easily?’

However, even if I tried to look at the other sword, my gaze naturally went back to it.

For some reason, I feel that I will regret it if I miss it.

No other sword comes into sight.

In the end, Junyoung decided to choose that sword.

“That sword looks good.”

Cha Soo-hyeok was surprised and scratched his head with a troubled expression.

“That’s a bit bad.”

“Not so much?”

“Actually, the sword was a weapon I found in the barrier that was created by chance, but I didn’t expect you to pick it up.”

“A barrier weapon?”

“It is a very unusual case. Anyway, this ability is sealed, so I can’t exert my power. I tried to find out in the lab, but I gave up in the end.”

“So you mean it’s a useless sword?”

“It is not useless. I can see the power of a 1-star magic stone sword.”

Cha Soo-hyeok pointed to a stylish black sword.

“In that case, wouldn’t it be much better to use the 3-star magic stone sword here?”

“no. I like this sword for some reason.”

When Junyoung insisted, Cha Soohyuk nodded as if he couldn’t help it.

“All right. If you like it, try it out. If you ever change your mind, we’ll switch you to another weapon. It is impossible to rent two at the same time.”

With those words, he took out a blue-silver sword from the display stand and handed it to Jun-yeong.

“Take it.”

“yes.”

The moment I received the sword and gripped it, I felt an eerie feeling and a cold chill!

‘eww! It’s cold.’

He almost missed the sword, but Junyoung held on tightly with his hands tightly clenched.

Reciprocated Gift (3)

‘Oh, my hands are all cold.’

What sword is so cold?

In addition, a bloody energy that goes beyond the coldness you can feel with your hands!

A terrifying feeling of fear crept over her body.

What kind of sword do you feel the grisly murder that you only see in scary vampire monsters that suck human blood?

‘How can I fight with this sword?’

It’s a plate where you have to fight with a sword, not an enemy.

If you did that at the gate, you would be beaten to death without even being able to properly swing your sword.

“You’re holding up pretty well.”

At that time, Cha Soo-hyeok, who was watching Jun-young, said with a surprised expression.

“When I first hold the sword in my hand, most people drop it in surprise. It’s great just to hold on like that.”

Junyoung nodded.

“The energy of this sword is so bloody that it is different from what I just saw.”

“hahahaha, that’s right. Everyone who has held the sword is amazed by it. I was the same. I just think of it as a pretty sword when I see it with my own eyes, but the moment I hold it in my hand, I am amazed.”

“Why does this energy come out of the sword?”

“I don’t know. Even in the lab, they couldn’t figure it out. Anyway, it’s a sword that I don’t want to hold in my hand for a long time even after level 25. Even hunters with A-class swordsmanship-related attributes gave up trying to use that sword.”

Joon-young was surprised.

“A-rank swordsman Hunter also gave up?”

“Everyone was curious and tried to handle this sword at first, but the reason is that the efficiency is poor.”

“What about efficiency?”

“The stress on the body is enormous, but the power is only that of a 1-star magic stone sword. In that case, it would be prudent to use another high-star sword.”

“That’s right.”

As Junyoung nodded, Cha Soo-hyeok asked him to think again.

“At first, I thought I was stuck with that sword, so I tried it, but I still don’t recommend it. Rather, this 3-star magic stone sword…”

“no. I still like this sword.”

Jun-young again refused Cha Soo-hyeok’s offer to exchange for a better sword.

‘I like it strangely.’

Do you think it’s obsession?

A sword I would never want to give to anyone!

It is a sword that I want to fully own.

‘Even though this sword is a rental, it’s a permanent rental if I don’t return it.’

Then you will have to return it until you die.

‘But why am I so obsessed with it?’

It’s the first sword I’ve ever seen.

It is also a sword that gives pain to the body the more you hold it, which is a strange thing.
