438. Level Up System
"It's not magic—it's superpowers. I hypnotized you yesterday, remember? And potions like that? They're not exactly out of the ordinary."
"...What the hell are you?"
Her face was frozen in terror.
"My identity isn't the point."
Sparks crackled in my palm before fizzling out. I had a pitiful scrap of mana, barely enough to do anything meaningful. And in this world without mana, there was no way to build it up.
Lightning, though, didn't just draw on mana—it burned through vitality too. Vitality. Life force. Stamina.
'The efficiency sucks, though.'
Yoo Jae-kyung stared at me in disbelief.
"Can you be absolutely sure a gun would kill me?"
"Ah... aaah..."
Yoo Jae-kyung collapsed limply against me, as if she'd just grasped a hopeless reality.
I grabbed her arm and waist, pulling her into an embrace. My cock poked at her plump ass, and her voluptuous body pressed against my chest.
From kissing distance, I whispered devilishly into her ear.
"My offer isn't over yet. Be my woman. Do that, and your life will change. Potions? I can give you as many as you want."
"And if... I refuse...?"
"......"
I just smiled silently. She knew about my hypnosis power. If I wanted, she couldn't resist.
The smart girl knew what she had to choose.
"......I'll be your woman."
"Wise choice. But words aren't enough—I need proof."
"Proof?"
"A sworn kiss or something."
"......"
Yoo Jae-kyung hesitated, then closed her eyes and pressed her lips to mine. I slipped my tongue into her mouth. She moved hers awkwardly in response.
After a deep kiss, Yoo Jae-kyung looked at me, fear still lingering in her eyes.
"Th-that's enough, right? Give me the potion."
"Here."
"With this, Mom..."
Yoo Jae-kyung clutched the potion tightly, as if she'd never let it go.
With no relatives to contact, her comatose mother was her only family—her whole world, even. That potion could save her. Even after I'd raped her, she'd chosen to become my woman for it. It was that precious.
"......"
Suddenly, Yoo Jae-kyung's face darkened.
"What's wrong?"
"...If I use the potion, will the hospital buy it? They'll want to investigate the reason..."
She had a point.
A comatose critical patient suddenly fully recovered overnight? Burns healed without a trace? They wouldn't just call it a miracle. They'd dig for the cause.
"M-Mom could get dissected or something!"
"Nah, it won't go that far. Solution... My hypnosis is too weak for that right now. Maybe level it up later?"
"I can't leave Mom in pain!"
"She's comatose. She won't feel a thing. Or dilute the potion with water to lower the effect and recover slowly."
"Slowly..."
Yoo Jae-kyung fell deep into thought. She probably wanted to rush to the hospital and use it right now, but she knew that was stupid when considering the aftermath.
"......I'll go slow with the recovery."
She'd decided to play it safe.
Respecting her choice, I placed my hand on her firm ass.
"Eek... I... I have to go to school..."
"Skipping one day of university won't kill you. And with me around, you don't even need to graduate. Don't forget—you're my woman now."
My hand stroked her thigh, then slid to her crotch. I spread her pretty pussy and slipped a finger inside.
Squelch.
"Hic! ...I want to keep going to university."
"Fine."
"......What should I call you?"
Yoo Jae-kyung twisted her body around my single finger, her voice trembling as she asked.
"Call me oppa."
"......Yes, oppa."
She said it after a slight hesitation. I laid her down on the futon.
Time for some fun.
???
Around 1 p.m.
Yoo Jae-kyung bustled about. She was heading to the hospital where her mom was admitted. Ever the diligent one, she even cleaned the room and tossed the sheets into the washer amid it all.
I was sitting on the porch floor waiting for her when the landlady grandma shuffled over.
"Jae-kyung's boyfriend?"
"Yeah."
"What?"
She was wearing hearing aids. No way she'd heard Jae-kyung's moans from earlier.
"Yeah, that's right."
I answered casually, and she wagged a warning finger at me before shuffling off.
"Poor Jae-kyung! If you make her cry, you'll get it from me!"
"Don't worry."
Too late for that.
The door to the room across from us opened. A guy in his early to mid-twenties stepped out in navy work overalls. Up close, he reeked of oil. He glared at me as he approached.
"You're the boyfriend of the girl who lives here? It was noisy earlier. Keep it down. This isn't a solo place... Fucking annoying."
I smirked. I knew he'd cracked the door during sex to peep inside.
His reason for picking a fight was obvious. He'd been eyeing Yoo Jae-kyung.
"Not working, but wearing work clothes? What's up with that?"
"I'm heading out soon. Warning you—don't make noise in this house."
He scowled, trying to intimidate me, but it was pathetic.
"Some nobody playing landlord. I'm in a good mood right now, so just fuck off."
"You little shit... Listen to that mouth. If I weren't holding back..."
The door behind him opened, and Yoo Jae-kyung appeared.
"I'm ready. ...Woo-chan?"
Yoo Jae-kyung eyed him warily. They weren't close, clearly. Long legs suited her, but white flared pants? Really?
"Jae-kyung. I heard noise earlier... Be quieter since you don't live alone."
"...Y-yeah. I'll be careful from now on."
Her face flushed bright red as she replied. Woo-chan glanced at her, shot me a glare, then stomped back to his room.
I pulled Yoo Jae-kyung to my side and hugged her.
"Ah, oppa! Mmph..."
I kissed her. Woo-chan, heading inside, spotted us and tensed up. Furious, he stormed over.
"This isn't your private place—what the hell are you doing!"
"Su-gel-la!"
Hypnosis worked, but Woo-chan didn't stop walking. I hadn't given a command yet. I mentally ordered him to halt, and he froze in place.
"Hypnosis?"
"Yeah."
"Y-you didn't have to go that far."
"Gotta build proficiency. And I didn't kill him—that's mercy enough."
I liked Yoo Jae-kyung's room. Felt like stepping onto a movie set. I'd move out soon, but no plans for major trouble until then. Killing Woo-chan here would bring the cops running.
"Kneel."
"Yes."
Woo-chan knelt.
Smack!
I slapped his face. It stung my hand more—thick-skinned bastard.
"Oppa! Let's just go."
Yoo Jae-kyung fidgeted anxiously, glancing at the landlady's room, worried things might blow up.
"Jae-kyung. This guy's been eyeing you dirty. My woman."
"It's just your imagination. Let's go to the hospital."
"I'll show you how perverted he is."
I questioned the hypnotized Woo-chan.
"Hey. You've fantasized about raping Jae-kyung, right?"
"......Yes."
Yoo Jae-kyung's face hardened.
But it was natural. A hot young woman living across from you? You'd fantasize. I do it with every beauty I pass—then make it real.
"What kind of fantasies?"
"......Bursting into Jae-kyung's place, covering her mouth, ripping her clothes, raping her... Gagging her, taking pics... Anal too... Making her eat my shit and piss."
Filthy thoughts.
Yoo Jae-kyung looked at him with utter contempt, like he was garbage.
'I raped Jae-kyung too... but shit and piss? This filthy fuck.'
Soon she trembled, tears welling up. Fear, anger, sorrow—all crashing together.
"Ugh...? J-Jae-kyung..."
Hypnosis broke.
"Su-wel-la!"
"Jae-kyung. Doesn't this piss you off? Beat him."
"B-but..."
"We can erase his memory of it."
"......"
"He wants to make you eat his shit and piss."
"Ugh!"
Yoo Jae-kyung swung her right hand, slapping his cheek hard.
Crack!
Woo-chan's jaw whipped around, his torso swaying. Hypnosis held.
'Low level means physical shocks could break it... but a slap's fine, apparently.'
Excited, Yoo Jae-kyung breathed heavily, calming herself. Her shaky eyes showed regret for the impulse.
"Jae-kyung. Other cheek too."
"Or should I just shoot him?"
"...I'll do it."
Smack!
The sharp sound confirmed it. She wasn't hating this entirely.
I kept demanding slaps. Over time, she hit without hesitation. Blood trickled from Woo-chan's nose and mouth.
"Haa... haa... That's enough, oppa."
Yoo Jae-kyung wiped sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.
"We'll stop here for today. Get up. Go back to your room. Forget the hypnosis."
After confirming Woo-chan returned, we headed to the hospital. Yoo Jae-kyung stared at her reddened palm with a complicated expression.
'Heh... this is fun.'
???
The police officially announced the Kang Chan-dong shooting as a gang war.
With guns involved, they shoehorned in the mob angle for a quick release.
'No clue about the real perp—me.'
???
Day 4.
While the landlady was out, thwack-thwack! sounds of leather splitting echoed in the yard.
I sat on the porch, munching sliced melons. The noise was Yoo Jae-kyung whacking the hypnotized, prone Woo-chan's thighs with a baseball bat.
"Haa, haa... Oppa, is this enough?"
Sweat beading, she approached. Woo-chan, down to his underwear, was covered in bruises—all her handiwork.
"Yeah, good job."
"Oppa. Can I have some melon too?"
"Of course."
Yoo Jae-kyung sat on the porch and tossed the bat. Thud! It hit Woo-chan's right shoulder and rolled away.
I'd repeatedly hypnotized Woo-chan to level it up. Over ten times now—even heavy beatings barely fazed it.
"Forget today and go back."
"Yes."
Woo-chan entered his room and shut the door. Once hypnosis wore off, sane Woo-chan would tremble in terror, convinced a ghost had beaten him bloody. He barely slept anymore.
I pulled Yoo Jae-kyung into my arms. My hand naturally slipped under her shirt, kneading the breast cupped in her bra.
"Oppa. This is outside. Do it inside if you're gonna."
"Outside's fine. No one's watching."
"Hypnosis will wear off soon. And I prefer inside."
"......Fine. Suck my dick first, at least."
"I'll suck it, but the real thing's inside."
Yoo Jae-kyung pulled down my pants and took my cock in her mouth. No hesitation in her motions anymore. As I stroked her hair while she sucked...
A quest has occurred!
