Chapter Title: Level Up System
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I decided to quietly level up my hypnosis skill for the time being to avoid Elpis's pursuit.
The way to level up hypnosis was simple: use hypnosis to raise proficiency. Easy enough. Even grabbing a passerby and hypnotizing them would do the trick.
'Hypnosis isn't obvious from the outside, so if I use it discreetly, no one will notice.'
But randomly hypnotizing innocent passersby for no reason wasn't fun.
'Isn't there a more enjoyable way to use hypnosis? I have confidence I won't get caught by others...'
I was pondering this when—
"Aaahhh!"
Yoo Jae-kyung's irritated shout echoed from the yard, where she'd gone to use the washing machine.
'Jae-kyung wouldn't scream for no reason... It must be something to do with Woo-chan.'
Guessing the cause, I leisurely headed to the yard.
As expected, Yoo Jae-kyung and Woo-chan were there. Dressed in short shorts and a T-shirt, Yoo Jae-kyung glared down at Woo-chan, who was kneeling on the yard floor.
"Jae-kyung-ah. What happened?"
I shuffled over to her in my slippers. Her vibe was more menacing than it had been in a while.
"Oppa! Do you know what this bastard did with my panties he stole?"
"...What did he do?"
"He jerked off with them! He got his filthy cum all over my panties!"
"You crazy fuck."
My face twisted in disgust instantly.
I knew Woo-chan had a thing for Yoo Jae-kyung. I knew he jerked off fantasizing all sorts of weird shit about her.
I'd hypnotized him not to tell anyone and left him alone—not out of pity, but because I figured the guy was harmless.
"How dare you steal my woman's underwear and soil it with your filth?"
Woo-chan had crossed the line.
I clenched my fist and stared him down. On his thigh, as he knelt, lay a red pair of panties—Yoo Jae-kyung's from yesterday. They were stained with a milky fluid.
"I-I'm sorry! Please spare me! Please!"
Woo-chan prostrated himself flat on the ground. But my eyes remained coldly sunken.
'He's getting boring anyway. Maybe I should just get rid of him.'
How to kill him? With my own hands? Or hypnotize him into suicide?
"Oppa."
As I mulled over Woo-chan's death, Yoo Jae-kyung grabbed my shoulder.
"Yeah?"
"You're planning to kill this bastard, right? I want to kill him myself."
"...You're gonna kill him yourself?"
It was unexpected. Up until now, she'd avoided murder.
I stared at her intently. If it was just impulsive talk, I'd talk her out of it, but her eyes were cold and composed.
"Suddenly?"
"...I've realized that if I'm going to stick with you, oppa, I need to be able to kill when necessary."
"Oh. Good girl. But if you're forcing yourself into murder just for me, then don't."
I didn't want murder for my sake.
"It's not entirely just for you, oppa. If I say I won't kill him... you'll do it, right? This one—I want to kill myself."
Her irritation and anger toward Woo-chan were genuine.
I thought it over and nodded.
"Alright. How're you gonna kill him? Gun? Knife? Bat?"
I figured she'd pick the gun.
Guns are the easiest. Just pull the trigger, and you can kill from a distance without feeling much.
"Baseball bat."
"Gun's easier, no?"
"I like the baseball bat. I've used it plenty before... and I want to beat this fucker to death."
"Haha. That's my Jae-kyung."
I grinned in satisfaction and placed a hand on her shoulder.
Woo-chan trembled violently. His face was pale as a ghost.
He'd overheard our conversation outright, so he knew his death was sealed.
"S-spare... Please spare me!"
Neither Yoo Jae-kyung nor I paid him any mind.
"Oppa. Should we do it here?"
"Sure. We can dump the body in the sea later or bury it in the mountains."
"U-uaaaah!"
Terror-stricken, Woo-chan panicked, screaming as he bolted up and tried to flee.
"Oppa! He's running!"
Yoo Jae-kyung panicked, but I stayed calm.
"Stop."
At my word, Woo-chan froze. He pathetically bawled, snot and tears streaming down his face.
"Hah. As expected of oppa. I got scared for nothing... But his scream was pretty loud earlier. What if someone comes?"
"Forgot what my power is? Let 'em come. Even if they report us. Even cops show up, I just hypnotize them."
"Oppa really is amazing."
I crooked a finger at Woo-chan. He walked over. His mind didn't matter—his body was already mine.
Woo-chan knelt in the middle of the yard.
"P-please... spare... spare me... Spare me."
He pitifully repeated pleas for mercy. Neither I nor Yoo Jae-kyung acknowledged him.
Yoo Jae-kyung grabbed a baseball bat and approached him.
"You filthy bastard! If you wanted to live, you should've stayed still. Not only did you steal my panties, but you defiled them too? Those were the ones Eugene oppa gifted me that I loved! And now! I have to throw them away because of you!"
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
The bat mostly targeted his arms and back.
"Agh! Aaack! I-I'm sor— Aaaah!"
To kill, you'd normally aim for the head. But she kept pounding his body relentlessly.
I held off intervening and watched.
Woo-chan's screams grew fainter, but the thuds continued.
His body toppled forward. Finally, the bat swung at his head.
Splatt! Thud!
"Hah... hah... hah."
Yoo Jae-kyung dropped the bloodied bat, panting heavily.
I checked Woo-chan on the ground. He was definitely dead. The back of his skull caved in, blood pooling from the gash.
"O-oppa..."
Yoo Jae-kyung called me with a tearful face, unsteady from her first kill. I pulled her into a tight hug.
"It's okay, Jae-kyung-ah. Good job. Don't worry about the body. We'll bury him in the back hills soon."
"Hic..."
Later, we drove together and buried Woo-chan in a mountain in Gangwon Province.
"Oppa. If we get caught... we'll go to prison, right?"
She shivered, staring at Woo-chan in the pit.
"Won't happen."
Time passed.
One of Woo-chan's coworkers came by, but no cops. No one even filed a missing person report—he had no real friends, apparently.
Yoo Jae-kyung stopped fretting over him.
"Oppa. I need money. I don't wanna live in this shitty countryside anymore. Did you know a cockroach came out from under the wardrobe last night?"
"Really? But you know the cops are watching us. And like I said, Elpis is desperate to find us."
"Elpis... the organization of superpowered folks like you, right? But your hypnosis is hard to detect if used right. If we use it quietly and naturally, wouldn't it be fine? Unlike before, hypnotize a big corp chairman and control him. We can make money that way."
She had a point.
If I used hypnosis carefully, I didn't have to hide like a rat.
"Hmm. Maybe you're right. Once we save up, where do you wanna live?"
"I wanna be a Gangnam landlord! 'Landlords above God' isn't just a saying. And I wanna live in a penthouse at least once."
Yoo Jae-kyung's eyes sparkled.
"Then shall we go hunt a wild chairman?"
And so, we chose Seungjo Group.
I spent over a month hypnotizing Seungjo Group's chairman, executives, and HQ staff.
This was my status window after fully taking over Seungjo Group.
Yoo Jae-kyung bought a few Gangnam apartments with the chairman's slush fund and even a penthouse, living it up. Sweeping luxury goods from department stores was routine. She used to barely spend a million won a day; now she blows tens of millions like water.
While she enjoyed splurging, I played around with Seungjo Group.
'Seungjo's done. I've knocked up most of the female staff... Should I take a broadcast station next? With my hypnosis level, I could remake it perfectly in a week.'
Deep down, I wanted to hypnotize the president, Korea's top dog, but the government suspects me and guards him tightly.
'What to do about Elpis. Without them, no one could stop me.'
Elpis.
System ability users like me have mana, so hypnosis isn't permanent on them. I need to eliminate those Elpis bastards blocking my path.
???
I headed to Seungjo Group today as well. 11 a.m.—late, but no one dared scold me.
"Vice President Sung Yu-jin! You're here!"
The first-floor guards lined up to bow to me at right angles, voices dripping respect. All hypnosis effects.
"Good work."
I passed them and went up to the second floor.
Glanced around the empty changing room, then took the elevator to the top-floor chairman's office.
"You're here! Vice President!"
The naked Seungjo Group chairman prostrated on the floor.
"Yeah. Morning, Chairman. I need money."
"How much?"
"Around 3 billion? Wanna buy a car."
"I'll prepare it right away!"
"That's my chairman. Prostrate till 5 p.m. today."
"Yes!"
The chairman obeyed absolutely.
I passed him and entered my office next door. Desk, computer, and a huge bed inside.
Five beauty secretaries awaited me. Unlike regular staff, they wore slutty lingerie: fishnets, garter belts, crotchless panties...
"You're here, Vice President."
"Let me undress you."
"Today's schedule... is touring the planning team and interviews."
Seungjo's top beauties approached seductively, stripping me. I let them.
"Ahh! Vice President's cock is so lively today!"
"I'll service you!"
"Ahn!"
They caressed every inch with hands, tongues, and breasts.
"Heh. Standing like this is tiring. Let's do it on the bed."
"Aaaahn!"
???
Afternoon, I went down to the 11th floor planning team.
One female employee there lately caught my eye.
Planning Team 3's Yoo Hye-na.
E-cup tits, stunning looks. Qualified for my secretary pool; been considering transferring her.
'No need to move her to secretaries. Any Seungjo employee comes running when I call.'
Planning Team 3's women lined up to greet me.
I grinned, eyeing their naked bodies. Yoo Hye-na stood out overwhelmingly.
'Gotta maintain vice president dignity. Can't just rush to Hye-na.'
Started from team leader, methodically groping tits and pussies.
"Hah... V-Vice President. You can insert anytime. I'm always ready...!"
"Hmm. Hold off on insertion."
Honestly, no plans to fuck the team leader. My mind was on Hye-na.
Groped the team leader's smooth pussy a bit, then moved on. The section chief eyed me expectantly. Checked her name tag, face, and pussy.
Particularly dark down there.
'Not gonna judge by pussy color... but pink's nicer.'
Still a pussy.
And finally.
Yoo Hye-na's turn.
My eyes lit up at her body up close.
'...Something's off up close? And why's she so tense?'
I'm vice president, but employees treat me casually due to hypnosis. Her rigid tension was weird.
Our eyes met. Hers shook anxiously.
'Heard Hye-na has a twin sister.'
Yoo Hye-na was one of my marked beauties. I knew the basics.
My mind raced.
I grinned and reached for her breasts.
