Chapter Title: Good Hypnosis (1)
"Want to touch my dick?"
Yoo Jun-hyuk's voice whispered like a sweet devil.
It echoed in her head like a shout from the mountains.
'Dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick...'
What was a dick again?
Medically, it was a penis. Otherwise, a manhood. Or just cock.
The term didn't matter.
He was really going to let her touch his actual dick?
'You mean it's not a joke?'
Touching a guy's dick.
It was the kind of skinship that might come naturally with a boyfriend, but she'd heard more guys hated it than liked it.
[Title: Why do women like touching dicks?]
[Been dating for 3 years, but my girlfriend tries to touch my dick all the time and I fucking hate it. She grabs it every chance she gets. It's annoying. My dick isn't a toy—what's so great about it?]
└[I feel this ㅜㅜ Not just the touching, but it gets hard from the physiological reaction, and she uses that as an excuse to push for sex. That's even more annoying.]
└[It's fine if she touches gently, but she does it roughly and it hurts.]
└[Lost all affection when I saw her eat with the same hand she touched it with without washing.]
Maybe it was because the balls right below were a weak spot.
Or because guys who preferred mental connection saw it as pure physical lust.
Either way, dicks were something guys didn't easily allow, but Jun-hyuk had just thrown open the gates.
"Don't want to? If not..."
"No! I want to!"
Ah, embarrassing.
She'd yelled without thinking.
She hoped she didn't come off as some sex-crazed girl.
"No, it's not that I want to do something lewd... Um, you know, it's just curiosity..."
"Got it. Touch it."
Jun-hyuk did nothing.
As if telling her to touch as much as she wanted on her own.
Emboldened, she slowly reached toward his waistband.
"Don't take it off. Just slip your hand in and touch."
"Y-Yeah!"
Putting her hand into a guy's pants to touch his dick.
If she told her one-year-ago self this, would she believe it?
The her who only cared about Hunter work and had zero interest in guys?
"Okay, here I go."
Slipping her hand inside, hot air hit her.
Had she somehow learned to breathe through her hands without knowing? That hot air smelled lewd, intoxicating enough to make her inhale deeply.
'Here it is.'
Thinking about it, she'd even shared her first time with Jun-hyuk but never actually touched his dick.
Had she? During that first time, she was tense, and he was soothing her—she couldn't remember well.
The second attempt got swept up in pleasure, no time for details.
So strictly speaking, this was the first time she was touching Jun-hyuk's dick.
'It's squishy.'
Not erect, as expected.
Kinda disappointing. If it had been hard, even if no sex, she could've used her hand or mouth...
'Lewd thoughts, stop!'
She'd promised no naughty stuff until treatment ended, but here she was getting horny!
Reflect on that.
This was just skinship.
Jun-hyuk had sealed his own lust and erections with that hypnosis skill, so of course it wouldn't get hard.
'Huh? I'm getting annoyed?'
She was always the one getting worked up because of him, suffering.
Was he just gonna chill alone?
'Come to think of it, he said too much lust breaks the hypnosis?'
Let's make him hard.
She slowly kneaded the squishy dick with her hand.
'Warm.'
Back when the guild master's nephew visited the guild, they'd played with slime together.
Jun-hyuk's dick felt just like that slime.
'Guys' most sensitive spot is the glans, right?'
Target that?
She rubbed the glans hard with her fingertip, and finally, a reaction.
"Noona, that hurts if you do it too hard."
"S-Sorry."
Totally not the reaction she'd hoped for.
Without an erection, stimulating it didn't feel good, apparently.
'Not what I expected.'
She thought it'd be super erotic and exciting.
It just felt like playing with a squishy toy.
Well, she needed Jun-hyuk to react lewdly for her to get excited too, but he was sitting there like a monk watching TV with his dick out. No mood at all.
'Gotta touch here too.'
She slid lower and touched the balls.
Squishy here too—fun to touch.
'These are the balls.'
Two eggs felt through the thin skin sack.
She'd heard they were the only organ protruding externally in humans, and mishandling caused massive pain, so she stroked gently.
'Feels reassuring.'
No more lewd thoughts.
Just touching calmed her mind, made her feel stable.
No wonder kids loved playing with slime.
A guy's dick was woman's slime.
"All done?"
"Yeah. Feels nice."
"Good then."
"Jun-hyuk, can I touch it again next time?"
"Touch whenever you want. I don't mind."
Cool guy.
To meet a man like this—had she saved the Earth in a past life?
"Y-Yeah!"
"More importantly, wash your hands. We're eating soon."
"Got it!"
She went to the bathroom to wash, then sniffed her hand.
Some indescribable, thick scent lingered like territory marking.
"Mmm..."
Not exactly fragrant.
But addictive somehow.
'Gotta touch after eating.'
Until now, her issue prevented sex, so boyfriend in name only.
Now it felt real, her heart fluttering.
"Jun-hyuk, can I touch now?"
"Now? Sure, go ahead."
Touched once after eating.
"Jun-hyuk?"
"...Touch."
Touched before bed.
"Jun-hyuk."
"Touch."
Touched upon waking.
"Jun."
"Touch."
Touched before bathroom.
Touched while hugging from behind as he cooked.
Touched before work.
Touched after coming home.
Touched while watching TV.
Touched before brushing teeth...
"Ah, stop touching!"
Eek.
＊＊＊
"See you later..."
Noona Yu-ra left for work, shoulders slumped powerlessly.
She looked even more pitiful than last time—almost let her touch again, but no more.
'My dick isn't a toy, damn it.'
Thought it'd be once or twice and done, but she kept at it constantly, so he banned it.
Said he'd allow it again if she did chores diligently—no more laziness like before.
'Might make stickers?'
Stick 'em on the fridge, give one per good deed.
Fill 30, then allow touching.
"That's overkill."
Just let her based on behavior.
They lived together now—occasional noona visitors. Fridge plastered with that? Disaster if asked.
[What's this? Praise stickers? No kids yet, right?]
[Oh, dick stickers. Fill 'em up to touch dick.]
[What?]
Next day headlines like 'Even EX-Rank Hunter Trapped by Husband!' or 'Dick Stickers: Creativity or Madness?'—he'd die of shame.
"Anyway, noona's off—beer time?"
Day off today, so he cracked a can leisurely, turned on the TV.
Perfect for ultimate laziness.
[We're in front of Celestial Harmony Church headquarters. This rising religion has grown rapidly, adding believers nonstop. Now, they're about to welcome their 10,000th...]
Shouldn't have turned it on.
Kinda turned a blind eye to Yang Ha-yoon, but every time Novellia this, Novellia that—uncomfortable, couldn't watch.
'Ji-young's gotten serious lately too.'
Last time church folks came to the cafe, calling Ji-young not priestess but Saintess—shocked him.
What was it? She revealed Novellia's symbol, so communes with god's will, thus saintess material?
"Already culty, now full cult."
Dissolve with hypnosis soon?
No big issues yet—if another apocalypse like last time, reconsider.
"But a god, huh. Novellia's my made-up god, so their prayers are to me?"
Sorry, not omnipotent.
Hypnosis skill absurd, but not that great.
"Efficiency tanked since final boss died."
Normal hypnosis hits with eye contact.
His? Limited targets.
Stage 2 via contact slightly stronger, stage 3+ very hard.
"Even stages 1-2 only work on weaklings."
No good on strong-willed. Plus daily life—no use.
"Barely use for cafe drinks."
Lately selling study drinks with it.
Hypnosis to focus solely on studying, no distractions for at least an hour. Word spread—students swarmed during exams.
"December soon. College finals around corner."
Gotta sell hard.
Anyway, few other uses now.
"Skill reinforce again? Even cure noona's premature issue or control power better."
Sex reinforced it before?
But not with Seo-yeon.
"Hmm, first time easiest."
Reinforcements various ways.
Mana exceeding limits, or light mental awakening.
First was mana-based, second different—won't be easy.
"Screw it."
Downed rest of beer to clear head.
Made him appreciate ring noona gave, feel affection—regretted nagging.
"...Special dinner tonight."
What did noona like?
Korean food?
"Grilled eel maybe."
＊＊＊
"Thank you for coming. Novellia looks upon you kindly."
"Thank you, Leader."
Celestial Harmony Church's 10,000th joiner bowed deeply to Yang Ha-yoon.
More joined after, each greeted joyfully by her.
When no more came, she took the podium, addressing all.
"Gathered brothers and sisters..."
Boring, predictable sermon droned on, soon ended.
"Novellia bids us aid the suffering. Let us pray and serve today."
Yang Ha-yoon prayed; believers followed.
Prayer to the god.
They etched Novellia's words to help others deep in hearts.
"I shall serve and give for others as you will."
10,000 prayers.
All unified in mind and will—one prayer. World-filling mana embraced it, their united mentality.
Mentality.
Once just firm mind or thoughts—a century ago tale.
Abstract, understudied then. Now, mentality affected many unexpectedly.
Non-awakeners awakened via strong mentality.
Skill-less awakeners gained trait skills.
Stalled skills reinforced.
"Yawn, nap time?"
And now.
Their Novellia prayers reached Yoo Jun-hyuk, just about to nap.
[Good Hypnosis]
[Using hypnosis for righteous aid removes skill restrictions.]
Translucent system window.
"Huh?"
Announced skill reinforcement.
"What the—!?"
Reinforcement bearing prayers' wishes and hopes.
