Chapter 7 : I, I Woke Up

With the advent of paranormal phenomena and items, a small number of humans evolved into Awakened.

The Awakened possessed abilities that far surpassed those of ordinary humans, and their abilities could be broadly divided into three types.

First, physical Awakened.

These are people whose physical strength has been enhanced due to Awakening.

In terms of games, they could be classified as warriors.

Extraordinary strength.

Super-fast movements.

Skin that is harder than steel, etc.

In a way, these are the simplest yet most powerful Awakened.

Second, elemental Awakened.

These are people who have the ability to freely manipulate the elements of nature.

In terms of games, they could be classified as magicians or elementalists.

For example, they breathe fire from their mouths.

They shoot icicles from their hands.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that they are the least realistic type of Awakened.

Third, mental Awakened.

They are said to possess abilities related to the mind……

There is no detailed information about them.

In the first place, mental abilities are quite abstract abilities.

Physical, elemental, mental.

In order to smoothly resolve anomalies.

Since all three abilities are needed, the members of the anomaly resolution party are usually three Awakened people with different abilities.

So.

What type of Awakened person am I?

I might already know the answer.

Perhaps,

I.

I am not an Awakened person.

Judging from the fact that the price of insult ended with a bump on my forehead, my body has become considerably stronger.

The ability to write the target’s information in the form of a wiki is also not something that can be considered normal human, so you might think that I am an Awakened person.

No matter how I look at it, my abilities don’t seem to fall into the three types of abilities of those Awakened people.

Should I say that I am the only one with a different genre?

Only facts are recorded on the wiki.

According to the information on the wiki, my race is not ‘human’.

[Name: Lee Ji-ah]

[Age: 24]

[Race: Ardent Follower of the Starry Night]

[Gender: Female]

‘Ardent Follower of the Starry Night’.

…Well, no matter how much I look at it, it’s a race name that I can’t get used to.

I’m not saying that viewers make fun of my race for no reason.

Awakened.

A word meaning ‘a human who has surpassed human abilities.’

I’m not someone who has surpassed human abilities.

As it says on the wiki.

It seems that I’m just not human.

In other words, this ability I have.

It’s just a basic ability that the ‘Ardent Follower of the Starry Night’ race has.

“…”

I also want to deny the information on the wiki.

I’ve already verified it several times.

The wiki doesn’t lie.

It’s all true.

It was pretty easy to accept that I’m not human.

Because, the race called [Ardent Follower of the Starry Night] is just a different name. Appearance, personality, physiology, lifestyle.

They are no different from humans at all.

When they are sick, they feel pain.

When they are sleepy, they sleep.

When they are hungry, they eat.

When they need to go to the bathroom, they go to the bathroom.

They are just like humans.

However.

Unlike humans, if you blaspheme, you will immediately receive the price for it.

You can check the target’s information in the form of a wiki.

They are a little stronger than humans, which is different from humans.

….

I don’t think there is any need to think deeply about this.

What is important right now is whether or not I can discover new abnormal phenomena and items within a month and write wiki articles.

I don’t want to die.

I don’t want to be discarded.

The easiest way to discover new abnormal phenomena and items is.

Of course, it is to enter an abnormal phenomenon zone.

In order to enter an abnormal phenomenon zone, you must register as an Awakened.

It goes without saying.

If a normal person enters an abnormal phenomenon zone… there is a possibility that it will not simply end with that normal person dying.

Paranormal phenomena are unpredictable unknowns.

No one knows what kind of extraordinary things will happen when a normal person encounters a paranormal phenomenon.

In fact.

There are people who have become women after encountering a paranormal phenomenon.

You may not believe it, but it’s true, huh.

Damn it.

Anyway, if you don’t want to live a one-month limited life.

You should register as an Awakened person as soon as possible and create new paranormal phenomenon and item documents.

I’m not an Awakened person, but.

I could probably pretend to be one.

So I headed straight to the Awakened Person Association.

I opened my mouth at the information desk.

“I’ve awakened!”

“Huh?”

Didn’t you hear?

Again.

“I’ve awakened!”

Why are you flustered?

Isn’t this how you register as an Awakened person?

The staff at the information desk broke out in a cold sweat for a moment.

He soon shook his head and asked me.

“Excuse me, but what type of ability do you have?”

“Oh, that’s it.”

I write the subject’s information in the form of a wiki. It’s best not to reveal this ability as much as possible.

So.

I want to register as a material world awakener.

“My body is strong.”

“… Yes?”

“My body is strong. Well, let me give you an example.”

Soon I took out a hammer from my pocket.

Then the staff at the information desk started to panic and started to urgently radio somewhere.

Why is he doing that?

That person is that person, and I am me.

Let’s not be nervous.

It doesn’t hurt.

It doesn’t hurt at all, so I’ll just hit it coolly.

Soon I put my hand on the desk.

I bent my hand back as far as it would go, and brought the hammer down with a full swing…

・I tried to hit it.

“Wow!”

“Unknown woman in her early 20s with pink hair. Subdued.”

I was subdued by the security guard.

No.

I’m not a terrorist, I’m an awakener.

“So, I was watching a virtual YouTuber broadcast.”

“Yes.”

“Black smoke came from the living room, whether it was a paranormal phenomenon or not.”

“Yes.”

“Soon, the black smoke enveloped Ms. Lee Ji-ah.”

“Yes.”

“When I opened my eyes, the black smoke had disappeared and I had become an Awakened. Is that right?”

“That’s right!”

“Haa…”

The investigator from the Awakened Association sighed.

Yes.

I didn’t expect anyone to believe me.

That’s why I didn’t tell anyone that I became a woman because of the black smoke.

Of course I told them about the ‘black smoke’.

I’ll say it again.

I’m a commoner, but I have at least a little conscience.

If the black smoke was really a paranormal phenomenon…it was the first incident where a paranormal phenomenon occurred outside of the area where the paranormal phenomenon occurred.

What if I didn’t say anything and a big problem occurred later?

I should report what I need to report.

The investigator opened his mouth, sighing repeatedly.

“…I understand. This is a real headache. For now, I’ll investigate Ms. Lee Ji-ah’s house while she’s being investigated. It won’t take long. Do you agree?” “Yes, I agree… Uh, wait a minute.”

“Why is that?”

“Do you believe me?”

“Yes.”

“…Why?”

I’m asking because I really don’t know.

Unless you have some kind of brain, there’s no way you would believe me.

“I’m a psychic. I can tell if what the target says is true or false.”

“Ah…”

“That’s why I have a headache. There was no lie in what Ms. Lee Ji-ah said.”

Right.

I didn’t lie.

Although I left out some words.

So.

It seems that my body is strong.

“Can I register as an Awakened person now?”

“No, it’s impossible.” “oll.

I was flustered by the investigator’s answer and asked back.

“What the hell, why!”

Since this was a matter of my life, I even cursed.

The investigator was flustered by my sharp reaction and asked.

“Do you want to become an Awakened One, Ms. Lee Ji-ah?”

“Of course, my life is at stake!”

“…! T, why is this true… No… Uh, anyway, rules are rules. According to the internal regulations of our Awakened Association, Ms. Lee Ji-ah cannot register as a saint.”

“So why, please tell me why?”

“To put it simply, her abilities are too weak.”

The investigator’s explanation continued.

Not everyone who has awakened can register as an Awakened.

If it is determined that her abilities are not helpful in resolving abnormal phenomena, she cannot be registered as an Awakened.

Of course.

It seems that just because she is a little stronger, she will not be able to help resolve abnormal phenomena.

However,

since she has awakened her abilities, she has already surpassed the category of ordinary people, so she must either live under the strict surveillance of the Awakened Association.

Or join the Awakened Association.

She must choose one of the two.

“For your information, I chose the latter.”

“…”

Now that I think about it.

This investigator described herself as a ‘mental ability user’ rather than a ‘mental Awakened user’.

The ability to distinguish whether what the target is saying is true or not can be used very usefully for humans. But…

It’s not an ability that’s of any help in resolving abnormal phenomena.

“I think Jia-sama understands this well enough. Then, please wait here quietly until the home investigation is over…”

“Okay, wait, stop!”

“…What else?

I.

No matter what happens, I have to become an Awakened.

That’s how I live.That’s how I can avoid being disposed of.

…There’s no other way.

I’ll have to take risks, but.

It’s better than dying.

Watch the YouTuber’s broadcast! Did you like a YouTuber too?

Favorite female type: A woman with big breasts and a plump butt!

“Hobbies,
Things, cucumbers. Bugs. Lies. Ugh, since you have the ability to distinguish between truth and lies, you hate lies.”

Dislikes

“Aside. There are dozens of virtual YouTuber figures in his house. It’s a secret he hasn’t told anyone.”

“He’s a kid who likes ‘Ayase Mitsuko’. What, you’re a kid too? This makes perfect sense. I’m a kid too!”

I never thought I’d meet a kid here.

Hello, nice to meet you.
