1. The Alluring Married Woman Lenia
HP: 5 | Agility: 5 | Technique: 5 | Mana: 3 | Intelligence: 2 | Libido: 6
Skills: Absolute Hypnosis. Magic: None. Points: 0
What floated before the man's eyes was a simple list of text. It looked like nothing more than a basic game stat screen. There were no health bars or mana gauges like he'd imagined.
But the very first ability he'd desperately wanted was right there, clearly listed.
Can't I get more details on the ability?
The moment that thought crossed his mind, the status window expanded, and a description appeared.
Absolute Hypnosis: With just the user's desire, hypnosis waves radiate omnidirectionally, hypnotizing any target capable of communication. The hypnotized subject obeys the user's commands absolutely.
A straightforward explanation. Reading it, the man's body trembled with excitement.
"Oh, oh, ooooooh! This is it! This is the one! Exactly this!"
He shouted in ecstasy.
"Not something shot from the hand? Or a finger snap? It can't require eye contact—that'd be fucked if I'm blindfolded or restrained! Perfect! Perfectperfect..."
He stroked his chest, calming his racing heart. He'd confirmed the skill he wanted.
Now it was time to examine the rest of the status window more closely.
"Hmm..."
With a thought, he dismissed the Absolute Hypnosis description and scanned his stats.
HP: 5 | Agility: 5 | Technique: 5 | Mana: 3 | Intelligence: 2 | Libido: 6
Looking at the six ability scores, dissatisfaction crept in.
"Why's Intelligence only 2? I put this much thought into picking stats—shouldn't it be at least 10? Well, whatever... Libido at 6 means I'm above average, right?"
The gripe about his low Intelligence was offset by the thrill of his above-average Libido.
Magic lists usable spells, and Points are obviously for allocating to stats... but how do I raise them?
He figured there'd usually be a level indicator. But his status window had none.
Well, the fact that it's here means it can go up somehow.
He'd just arrived in this otherworld. No need to overthink it right away.
That aside...
Composing himself, he looked around.
"Where the hell am I?"
He was deep in a forest. No signs of people, no figures in sight.
If I walk, I'll run into someone eventually.
Time for action. The moment he resolved to move—
Fshhh. Something rustled in the bushes.
"Huh?"
Grrr...
A beast resembling a snarling wolf toward him emerged from the underbrush.
If this had happened in his modern world, he'd have panicked and frozen. But now, he brimmed with confidence.
I've got Absolute Hypnosis! Hup! Hypnosis wave!
Vwoooom...
He shouted inwardly with all his might. A sensation spread from his entire body, like something emanating outward.
Ooh! So this is what it feels like to use the hypnosis!
Elated at his power activating, he sensed through some unknown instinct that the wave had reached the wolf.
Convinced it was hypnotized, he pointed dramatically.
"Show me your belly!"
The wolf, which had been growling at him, didn't obey.
Grrrrr...!
It showed no sign of being under hypnosis.
"Wha...?"
Panicking, a line from the description flashed in his mind.
...capable of communication. ...Can't talk to a damn animal.
Cold sweat poured from his body.
"...Uwaaaaaah!"
Graaaaaah!
He bolted, the wolf hot on his heels. His first hypnosis attempt ended in failure.
Three days later.
"Hah...! Hah...! Hah...!"
The man was on the brink of collapse.
He'd barely escaped the wolf, but at the cost of total exhaustion—and total disorientation.
Endless trees everywhere he turned. No end to the forest in sight, and hunger gnawed relentlessly.
He'd eaten random fruits from nearby trees to stave it off, but they soon caused stomach cramps, draining him further.
And amid it all, more beasts—wild dogs—spotted and chased him, turning survival into nonstop flight.
Normally, he'd have died in a day. But he had one stroke of luck.
"St-status window...!"
His HP had risen by 1, Agility by 3.
During his desperate escapes, the Points had ticked up bit by bit. It seemed the status window grew not just from defeating enemies, but from gaining sufficient experience.
He'd invested the hard-earned 4 points into Agility for fleeing and HP for survival.
But now, he was at his limit. His body was wrecked; even a wild dog or wolf now would end him—he had no strength left to run.
"If you're gonna drop me somewhere... at least near a village...!"
He spat bitterly at the mechanical voice that had dumped him in this unknown forest.
Grrr...
"Oh... no."
Was heaven abandoning him? A wild dog appeared, teeth bared, snarling as it prepared to pounce.
"Hah... fuck."
Resigned, he cursed—but still braced to flee somehow.
Yet the endless ordeal had broken him. His legs gave out, and he collapsed on the spot.
"Fuck!"
He swore at his useless limbs. Taking that as the signal, the wild dog lunged.
Am I done for here?
As the distance closed—
Shiiiing!
A sharp whistle cut the air.
Thuk! Kyaaang!
An arrow pierced the wild dog's throat mid-leap.
"Hey! You okay down there?"
A deep male voice called out.
Relief from the near-death scare—or finally hearing a human voice—sapped his last strength. He sprawled flat on the ground.
"Hey! Hey! You look like hell! Come on, stay with me!"
Exhaustion crashed over him. His blurring vision caught a burly, muscular man approaching.
With his dying breath, he whispered to the figure,
"Save... me..."
Darkness claimed his sight.
"...An unfamiliar ceiling."
The man awoke to a strange ceiling.
"Oh my, you're awake?"
A mature, sultry woman's voice reached his ears. He turned toward it.
"...Ugh!"
His eyes met a woman with long brown hair tied back in a ponytail for ease, vivid green eyes, ample breasts, and hips so full their curve showed even through her skirt. Her face blended warmth and kindness—a true beauty.
"Uh... where...?"
"This is our home. My husband found you collapsed in the forest and carried you here."
Her explanation cleared things up.
"I-is that so? Thank you for saving me."
"Heehee, no need. Thank my husband instead. Oh, I'll go call him. Dear~."
She left the room, calling for her husband. His gaze locked on her plump, swaying hips.
Moments later, a rugged hunter entered. Red beard, slightly unkempt. Piercing blue eyes.
"You're conscious, eh."
"You saved me? Thank you so much."
He bowed his head in gratitude.
"Yeah. How's the body holding up?"
"Uh..."
Groooowl.
His stomach answered before he could.
Sheepish, he voiced his most pressing need.
"F-food...? Got any?"
"Hahaha! Of course!"
"Heehee, I'll whip up some simple soup."
She exited again. The hunter addressed him.
"Got some questions first... but let's fill that belly of yours."
"Th-thank you."
Slurrrrp!
He gulped down the first real meal in ages like a man possessed.
"You were starving, huh."
"Eat slowly. There's plenty more."
"Th-thanks! Slurrrrp!"
Once the soup was gone, the hunter asked again.
"Belly full now?"
"Y-yeah. Thanks. What'd you wanna ask?"
"First off, why were you being chased by wild dogs in the Beast Forest?"
"Well..."
He couldn't exactly say, I got isekai'd here straight into the woods. Nor I just woke up lost.
From the hunter's tone and his three days of hell, he knew this was no casual stroll—people avoided this forest.
A tough spot to explain. Only one way out.
...Time to try it? H-Hypnosis wave!
Uneasy from the wolf fiasco, he activated it anyway.
Vwoooom...
"......"
Hypnosis Wave deployed. Targets hypnotized.
The wave spread from his body, hitting the hunter and his wife. Their eyes glazed over, faces blank.
Wha...? Oooooh!
Just from their expressions, he knew it worked. The same unknown instinct that confirmed contact now confirmed success.
Confidence surged.
"From now on, everything I say is obvious, unquestionable truth! Something you accept completely naturally!"
"......Yes."
They responded blankly. With his first success, he instinctively grasped how to deepen hypnosis, release it, and apply it.
"When I snap my fingers, you'll follow my orders while staying fully aware!"
Snap!
Their eyes sharpened back to normal.
"......Can't talk about it, huh?"
"Pardon?"
"Why you collapsed, I mean."
"Oh, that. Yeah... I just woke up in the woods and got lost for days."
A pathetically vague excuse.
But...
"Rough break, huh."
"Lucky my husband found you."
They accepted it without question, as if it were the most natural thing.
Yes! Yes! Hypnosis success!
He thrilled inwardly.
"Oh, we haven't even exchanged names. I'm Glenn, hunter around these parts. This is my wife, Lenia."
"I'm Lenia. And you?"
Her innocent question. He pondered his answer.
His old name would work, but this was clearly an isekai world—medieval vibe. No one else met yet, but why not pick something fitting... and suited to his power?
The perfect name came to him.
"My name is..."
Inspired by the ability he'd craved most.
"Hypno."
He dubbed himself Hypno.
