The First Hypnosis
Hypnosis System [ LV. 1 ] [ Hypnosis Targets: 1 per day ] [ Hypnosis Instances per Person: 1 ] [ Conditions: Physical contact ] [ Coercion: Weak ] [ System real-time update in progress … ]
I watched the System window floating before my eyes and turned my footsteps toward the library. The first experiment with hypnosis was obviously going to be that insolent library assistant, Maila. If I had to give a reason, Evelyn’s advice was there, and since she was a commoner like me with no backing, she was the perfect practice dummy.
As I walked, the familiar wooden building came into view. Just as I was about to enter, a thought crossed my mind—wouldn’t it be dangerous if someone else was around? I glanced around discreetly. It was just after lunch, so everyone was off to class, and the library area was thankfully free of students. A few passersby recognized me, but I ignored them and strode in with my head held high.

The interior of the library was quiet. Of course there were other students, but they were all immersed in their studies and didn’t pay me any mind. I searched discreetly for Maila, but the counter was occupied by another student. I slipped past their gazes and moved into a corner, lost in thought.
“Sigh… It’d be best to handle this as quickly as possible…” Could Maila have gone to class? It was possible, but I didn’t feel like giving up. I decided to explore the library first.
I climbed to the second floor and scanned the area, but the students were all too busy studying. I let out a silent sigh and headed up to the third floor. This level was especially empty of students.
“The third floor… history and ancient-language literature, huh.” This was the kind of space serious students never touched, especially me who was hunting for something stimulating.
I was about to give up and come back in the afternoon when I heard a faint sound—someone pushing a book into a shelf. The noise came from the corner of the bookshelves. I moved in that direction, hoping for a chance. When I turned my head slightly, I saw the figure I’d been looking for all this time: Maila.
Unlike the way she’d hurled books at me with magic, Maila was methodically stacking them one by one, grunting and sweating as she worked. I didn’t know why she insisted on doing it by hand, but being alone here with her was exactly what I’d hoped for. The moment the situation unfolded, tension tightened my chest. After a deep breath, as she resumed stacking books, I stepped forward and approached her.
“…? Eh? You!” Her sudden presence startled her, but I didn’t care. I closed in until I was right in front of her and grabbed her wrist, which was holding a book.
“Kyaa! W-what are you doing?!” Even in her panic, she kept her voice down. I chuckled dryly and, without hesitation, spoke the words.
“Hypnosis begins.”
Before I had even reached the library and met Maila, one thought had been spinning in my head: How would someone react once they fell under hypnosis? No matter how many erotic novels or games I’d read or played as a reincarnated person, hypnosis felt different. It could steal the target’s consciousness right at the start, or the memories between start and end might remain intact. Eventually, of course, the ability would fully enslave another’s mind, but right now at level 1 with only weak coercion, I worried that forcing too much could break the hypnosis. The fact that I could only use it once a day and only once per person made the range feel vague.
“That’s something to figure out later.” Watching Maila stare blankly at me, I paused for a moment. “Are they supposed to stay like this until I give the real command?” I waved my hand in front of her face to test her reaction, but her eyes remained dull and unfocused. In this state, issuing a command would hypnotize her. Of course, my low coercion meant I wouldn’t get stupid orders, but I still had to be careful. I almost reached out to tug at her dark-blue hair or poke her cheeks, but instead I swallowed hard and stared at the swelling chest of her uniform. I’d promised Evelyn I’d devour everything, but facing the real moment made my tension impossible to ignore.
After another deep breath, I moved my hand toward her chest. “O…” Like a horny teenage boy, I unconsciously sighed. I focused on her breasts. The sensation through her clothes was soft, but the underwear underneath was too much. I pushed aside the outer layer and slipped my hand inside, grabbing her swollen breast right away. Caressing it gently, then teasing the protruding nipple, a cute little moan escaped her.
“Khh…” The sound didn’t match the usual rude, insolent Maila at all, and reality snapped back into place. It felt good, but I had to keep going. I refocused and continued kneading her breast, then moved behind her, wrapping my arms around her from the back and squeezing again. I began to whisper softly into her ear.
“Huuu…” “Listen well, Maila.” “Mm…” Luckily, touching her chest didn’t wake her. I didn’t want to let go of this feeling, so I decided to enjoy it while progressing with the hypnosis. Her cute little whimpers and small twitches ignited a dark spark in my chest. Enjoying her reactions, I continued whispering into her ear.
“Remember yesterday evening? When I asked you to organize the underground archives?” “Mm…” “Did anyone ask about it? Whether you did it yourself, or if you took something from the archives?” “Umm… When I came to work this morning, the librarian asked if the person who organized the underground archives yesterday was me…” She was mumbling as if half-asleep, but it was coherent enough to understand. Given that she was asked about it the very next day, I could tell Evelyn’s prediction had been right. ‘She probably didn’t notice anything odd… Did the principal ask the librarian through her secretary?’ With Elina’s status, she could have checked the archives without issue, but since she found nothing, it seemed she hadn’t either. So maybe she was simply looking for who had done the organizing.
While teasing her nipple persistently, I continued. “So what did you say? You’re not telling me you lied and said it was me, are you?” “Huuu…! There’s no way! If someone caught me dumping work on someone else, I’d be scolded! And lending someone the underground key without permission would be disastrous!” “You knew that and still did it for me? How audacious.” I twisted her protruding nipple lightly as a punishment for her audacity. “Huuuugh! Ah! It hurts! It hurts!” She trembled violently, her expression crumbling completely as she surrendered to me and leaned back into my hold.
I pressed down on her struggling body with force and leaned against the bookshelf, sitting on the floor with her. From behind, it looked like I was embracing her. The hand that had been twisting her nipple had grown gentler, now tracing lazy circles over her breast, and she began whimpering cutely again. ‘She’s tougher than I thought. I figured pain would instantly wake her, but… what is this?’ As I played with her breast and she writhed, her whole body soon began to tremble, and I felt a faint, damp warmth between her thighs. Holding her from behind, I smelled her arousal and asked in a low voice, “Hey… did you just cum?” “Kyaa! There’s no way!” She turned her head back with a furious look, but the flush on her face gave her away. ‘Did touching my breasts really make her cum?’ I couldn’t believe it. ‘Was this the game world after all?’ Honestly, it couldn’t be anything else. No matter how many times I hypnotized someone, I hadn’t done anything to boost their arousal. This was an even more pleasurable world than I expected. Living in this delightful world while being bullied—how much of my game reincarnated life had I wasted.
I buried my head in her sweaty nape and savored the scent, then gently pressed a kiss to her shoulder. “Mmm…” Enjoying her squirming, I whispered the command into her ear. “What I did to the underground archives last night is a secret. So if anyone asks about it, say you don’t know, and that I was the one who cleaned. If anyone asks me anything, say you don’t know anything.” “Mm… But…” “What? Is there a problem?” I wondered if she’d refuse even this simple command, but she gave me the missing piece. “When I told you to do the work and went to play with Dave…” “A. That bastard was there.” I’d completely lost interest in men and forgotten, but remembering now that Maila had gone to play with him that day, irritation rose. I clicked my tongue and continued the command. “Fine. I’ll handle that myself. You just keep your mouth shut. Got it?” “Mm… Hic!” Finally, I gripped her breast tightly and stood up. While straightening my clothes, I sat down on the floor and watched the disheveled Maila. I continued thinking in my head. ‘But can she remember this situation?’ I didn’t know if the memory of the moment I’d cast the hypnosis would remain. The System hadn’t listed any duration, so I couldn’t be sure. How had the continent-threatening Archmage Evelyn solved this? After thinking it over, my conclusion was simple: continuous hypnosis to engrave the command into the target’s unconscious. A common trope in games and novels. The hypnosis leaves residual effects, and even without further commands, they obey. Other ideas crossed my mind, but I decided to test slowly.
I stopped my random thoughts and looked down at Maila. Her speech was still casual, but her eyes no longer held any usual caution. The satisfaction of having hypnotized the library’s rude assistant burned inside me, yet I felt a deeper regret—I hadn’t properly enjoyed anything other than her chest. I’d been living a life of unmet desires in this body, yet I’d achieved such a satisfying release alone. “Well, it wasn’t bad. Anyway, just remember the command I gave you. Ah, and I’ll return this.” I searched my pocket and handed her the black key she’d given me. It was obvious that carrying it around and losing it would cause trouble, so I’d just give it back when she remembered. Grabbing her shirt hem and nodding, I was about to end the hypnosis when a crucial piece of information crossed my mind. I immediately asked her, “Hey. You weren’t sleeping with that guy Dave, were you?” Watching her shake her head vaguely from side to side, I issued the command with a satisfied smile. “Hypnosis ends.” I waved my hand as if to say, “See you next time,” and walked out of the library.
