I Have Awakened, but Mosquitoes Are My Enemies

I have Awakened (1)

“These days, mosquitoes and other bloodsuckers are rampant. Even at the gate, new bloodsuckers are said to be troubling the hunters…”

“It is reported that D-class Hunter Kim Chang-hwan, who was party hunting at the northern Uijeongbu Gate last night, was bitten by a new type of bloodsucker and died. ——.”

“Unlike other monsters that can’t get out of the gate, some of the mosquito-like bloodsuckers are said to be able to get out. These bloodsuckers are deadly even to the hunters, so the general public should be extra cautious. The authorities are drastically increasing quarantine around the gate——.”

Jun-young woke up to the sound of the news on the TV.

I saw something about a blood-sucking parasite and it looks like a mosquito.

‘Are they talking about mosquitoes again?’

I’m so sick of them!

I think mosquitoes should be wiped out on a nationwide scale.

Why can’t the hunters, who can shoot fire and make ice, get rid of all the mosquitoes?

Jun-young is unhappy about that.

“Jun-young, are you awake? Why are you sleeping for so long? Wash your face and eat breakfast. I made kimchi stew. Eun-ah is eating right now, so you should eat while it’s hot.”

It’s my mom, Lee Kyung-sun’s voice.

“Okay.”

Jun-young washed up and walked over to the dining table.

At the dining table, Eun-ah, his younger sister, had already finished about half of her rice bowl.

Jun-young glanced at her mom and asked.

“‘I don’t see Dad and Joon-seok.”

“It’s 10 o’clock, why would Dad be at home? He’s already at work. Jun-seok is also at work.”

“Yes.”

I already know, but I still asked.

It’s my way of showing interest.

Compared to Jun-young, who is unemployed, his younger brother Jun-seok Kang has a good job and works diligently.

“Eun-ah, it’s 10 o’clock, aren’t you going to college?”

“It’s vacation.”

“Oh, right.”

Eun-ah Kang, the youngest sister, is a sophomore in college.

Of course, I know that it’s summer vacation.

But I still asked.

It’s better than just eating in silence.

“thank you for the food!”

“Hoo-hoo, the kimchi stew today must be really delicious.”

It’s one of my favourite dishes, so I never get tired of it.

“——!”

Just then, Jun-young, who had just picked up his spoon to scoop up the kimchi stew, puts the spoon down.

Tak.

Then Lee Kyung-sun, who was watching TV, looked at him in surprise.

The same goes for Eun-ah, who was eating in front of him.

“Jun-young, do you have no appetite?”

“Big brother loves kimchi stew. How come you aren’t eating it?”

“That’s not it. Shh!”

Jun-young put a finger to his mouth as if to tell her to be quiet.

Then he sneaked up on Eun-ah, snatched the mosquito from the back of her neck, and squashed it with his hand.

[You earned 100 won].

At that moment, a strange sound came from somewhere.

Joon-young tilted his head, but thought that he might have heard it wrong.

“Eun-ah, look at this. I’ve caught a mosquito that was on the back of your neck here.”

“Oh, really? It’s really itchy when a mosquito bites you on the back of your neck.”

Eun-ah looks both surprised and grateful.

Her dislike toward mosquitoes is no less than Joon-young’s.

“But it’s interesting. How did you find a mosquito on the back of my neck?”

“I just saw it fly off and land on you. Be quiet for a second!”

“Smack!”

Joon-young was about to return to his seat at the dining table when he suddenly moved toward the living room and caught another mosquito in the corner of the wall with his palm.

Smack!

Then another one.

They were all hiding in hard-to-find places, but Joon-young found them all too easily.

In no time at all, he had killed seven mosquitoes in the living room and kitchen.

[You earned 100 won].

[You earned 100 won].

.

.

“But what is this sound exactly?”

Then, Joon-young found that Eun-ah had a smartphone game app turned on on the table.

“Yeah, that must be from that game.”

No wonder.

It wouldn’t make sense to hear a sound indicating that 100 won has been earned, unless it’s from a game.

Meanwhile, Eun-ah’s eyes were wide open.

“Wow! How can you catch mosquitoes so well? Were you awakened or something?”

“What? Awakened?”

” Awakened as a mosquito hunter!”

“Where in the world is such an awakening?”

Eun-ah giggled as Joon-young gave her a dumbfounded look.

“Hee hee, just kidding. There is no such thing as a mosquito catching hunter in the world, right?”

“Of course not. At best, if you’re awakened and all you can do is catch mosquitoes, is that a hunter? You’ll be so embarrassed you won’t be talking about it anywhere.”

“I wouldn’t go as far as being embarrassed about it. Honestly, if being a mosquito-catching hunter makes you a hunter, where’s the problem? I wouldn’t mind being an F-grade hunter at least.”

At Eun-ah’s words, Jun-young waved his hand.

“What? An F? If you are going to be a Hunter, you need to be at least a C, then you can proudly say you are a Hunter.”

Lee Kyung-sun glared at Jun-young.

“What’s wrong with being F-grade? I heard that even if you’re just F-grade, you can receive a monthly government subsidy of 1 million won. If anyone in our family becomes an F-grade hunter, it would be a dream come true, especially for mom.”

Jun-young clenched her fists.

“Don’t worry, mom. Even if I don’t become a hunter, I’ll still make tons of money and become a millionaire.”

Despite being unemployed, his dreams are wild.

Nevertheless, Junyeong always speaks big about his dreams, as he doesn’t want to be discouraged when he goes out.

His family members also understand and accept Junyeong’s attitude, so they let him be

Lee Kyung-sun smiles.

“Alright, let’s eat first. Staying at home all the time isn’t good for your health, so after we eat, go for a walk outside. While you’re out, please buy some garbage bags for recycling. Here’s the card.”

” It’s okay, I’ll just use my own money.”

“What kind of money do you have? You don’t even have enough pocket money.”

“Haha, but I do have enough money to buy trash bags.”

Jun-young exclaimed cheerfully, then ate some kimchi stew and left the house.

‘I only have 20,000 won, but how much will I have left if I buy a pay-as-you-go bag with this?’

Maybe I should have taken Mom’s card.

I’m not sure. I should have gotten my mom’s card for a pay-as-you-go garbage bag, even though I claim to be going to be a billionaire in the future.

“I’m glad that I quit smoking.

That’s one of the best things I’ve done this year.

I’ve been smoke-free for almost six months now.

And it’s good for my health.

It’s nice to not have to pay for cigarettes every day.

“——!”

Jun-young suddenly stopped walking.

It was the same alleyway he walked every day.

But today, he felt very strange.

“What is it? Why do I feel like this?

Why am I so sensitive?

And why are the mosquitoes so noticeable?

“Eeng, eeng, eeng!”

If they’re flying close to me, I’ll notice them because of the sound, but even mosquitoes that are quite far away can be seen.

No, I don’t see them, I just know where they are.

There’s a mosquito there, there’s a mosquito up there, and there are mosquitoes everywhere.

Why are there so many mosquitoes?

On the windshield of a car parked on the side of the road, in the hair of an old man walking by, on the pole of a telephone pole, and——.

A mosquito just landed on the slender leg of a 20-something woman in a miniskirt talking on her phone.

It’s amazing that I can see the mosquito even though I’m more than 20 meters away.

Tsk, she’s about to get bitten.

A woman on the phone, unaware of the mosquito.

She’s about to be surprised by an itch.

Should I tell her?

Maybe not.

Still, you can’t just let it go without a word, as it’s not something to be taken lightly.

“‘Excuse me, ma’am, there’s a mosquito on your leg!”

“What?”

The woman looked at Junyoung in disbelief.

Then she realized that Junyoung had pointed his finger at her leg and looked horrified.

“Ugh!”

She quickly moved her leg to swat the mosquito away.

Luckily, she wasn’t bitten.

She looked relieved and bowed her head toward Junyoung.

“Thank you.”

She looked genuinely grateful, but also a little embarrassed.

“No, just watch out for the mosquitoes.”

Jun-young also felt a little embarrassed, so he bowed lightly and passed by.

At that moment.

A mosquito flew toward Junyoung.

It was stealthy, sneaking up on him in the blind spot of his vision, but he sensed its presence so naturally.

That’s him from earlier.

The same one that had just clung to the leg of a woman walking by while talking on her smartphone.

But how can I be so sure?

There are more than a few mosquitoes out here.

“It’s him, it’s him, is he here to get back at me?”

It’s funny, but the mosquito seems to have some sort of vengeance.

“Weeng~!”

It continued to hover around Junyoung.

As soon as there was an opening, it would land and suck his blood.

Junyoung could see through the creature’s intentions.

“Come.”

AAH

I thought I heard the mosquito scream and die.

I must have misheard.

[You’ve earned 100 won].

“——?”

Did I mishear that too?

It can’t be.

It sounded way too real.

“Why is the sound of Eun-ah’s smartphone game coming from here?

Who is playing that game nearby?

But there’s no one playing a smartphone game anywhere around.

There are only people walking by.

” Eeng~!”

Just then, a mosquito lunges at him.

Jun-young snapped his fingers and sent it flying.

The mosquito, hit squarely by the nail on his middle finger, scatters to pieces.

[You’ve earned 100 won].

“What the hell?”

Junyoung was dumbfounded.

It took him a while to realize, but this time he knew for sure.

It’s a sound I hear every time I kill a mosquito.

“That’s right, I heard this sound when I killed a mosquito at home earlier.

I can’t believe it.

So let’s check it out again.

Let’s see if it’s really the sound you hear when you kill a mosquito.

‘There it is.’

Slam.

I’ve successfully killed a mosquito hiding on a telephone pole!

[You’ve earned 100 won].

“Haha!”

Oh my God.

I can’t believe it.

What the hell is going on?

“This looks like a system notification to me.”

System voice that you can only hear when you’re awakened.

“Have I awakened?

A superhuman ability reserved for the selected few!

That’s Awakening.

Has such an amazing stroke of luck really happened?

“What?

Junyoung finally remembered the bizarre dream he had last night.

“‘Something about being the natural enemy of the vampires.

I can’t believe it wasn’t a dream.

He couldn’t believe it.

” Ability status window!”

Awakened people are said to be able to see their abilities by saying this.

It’s so common knowledge that even non-Awakened people know it.

It was shining in front of Junyoung.
