Chapter 4-3 (Lost Ego)
‘I did not expect this to be the case.’
Gin sneaked up on Sera’s room. He checked her stats to make sure she was completely sound asleep before attempting to use Dream Walker. Once her Awareness clearly showed the number 0 (Asleep), Gin didn’t hesitate to start his hypnosis.
Except, things were slightly different from what he expected.
This would be the very first time Gin ever used Dream Walker. The description of the skill was simple enough, but he had no idea if it would actually work. Rather, ‘how does it work?’ would be a better question.
Once he made skin contact with Sera and activated his skill, a sudden vertigo struck his mind. As if the ground turned into water, Gin sank and fell deeper into the void. The space around him turned dark. Not a single speck of light remained. He couldn’t see anything, not even his own hands.
“………”
There was silence.
“………”
Gin waited and waited. Panic started to permeate his heart. He had no idea what was happening or if he could even get out of this place. It wasn’t until a few moments later he finally saw something.
A light in the dark.
He moved his feet and started to run for it. There was no need to hesitate, Gin reached out his hands and touched the light. The sky turned blue and the floor turned into solid ground. It was a familiar sight, houses made of woods and a wide open field littered with strawmans and broken woods. In the middle of the field, there was Sera and another girl around her age with red hair.
Gin realized he was standing among the crowds of late teenagers, cheering for the both of them.
‘This is… a match.’
Sera was clashing against the red haired woman and lost. She fell down after being struck on her waist. She cried, and her opponent laughed at her.
Bzzt—!!
“Huh?”
Suddenly, the scene restarted from the beginning. Gin saw Sera clashing against the red haired woman and lost again for the second time. She cried, and another reset happened.
‘It’s a loop. This is a never ending nightmare for her.’
Gin could roughly guess what was happening in this dream. He knew about Sera being the strongest kid in the village from Teressa and Coll. She grew up being praised by everyone around her. They would call her talented, skilled and pretty. It was just an assumption, but Gin guessed she’s the type of person who rarely suffers any setbacks in her life. Her ego was inflated, pride high as the sky.
‘Is this her first loss ever in a match or something?’
He was curious about the red haired girl, but she wasn’t his priority at the moment.
‘…Now what? What can I do here? What about my hypnosis? Should I just approach her and interrupt her dreams?’
Ping!
-Your Mind stats overwhelmed the target completely!
-The target’s Awareness is at absolute minimum!
-The title Mind Breaker Lv.1 has been applied!
-Your authority over the target’s psyche has significantly enhanced!
-Your hypnotic suggestion is most effective against the target!
“Holy—“
Ping!
-Major psyche alteration is now possible against the target!
“…”
Gin re-read the notifications a few times to make sure he processed all of it properly.
‘Did I read this right? Is the system saying that I can alter her psyche like I did Teressa, even though her Trust is low?’
He couldn’t believe it—
‘—Did I just cheated the system itself?’
Gin recalled some information about his hypnosis. Specifically regarding his Hypnotic Voice. The skill enhanced his suggestion towards people who are under Hypnosis-state. With it he could put people under the Trance state and only then he could alter their perception.
There were a lot of restraints to his hypnosis. It wasn’t as omnipotent as he would like it to be. There were a lot of procedures and steps he had to follow to make Teressa his cocksleeve. He had to gain her trust, gradually nudging her towards depravity and perversion. It took him a month to make her truly his. It seemed simple enough, but it was difficult to maintain that trust. It was a month-long game, and the rewards were well worth all the trouble.
‘But this is crazy. I can just alter her psyche directly, right here, right now.’
Then again, looking back at everything he accomplished, it didn’t seem too far-fetched.
‘I did raise my Mind stats quite a bit. Before it was 10 points, then 15. Just to be safe I even raised it again to 20 before entering her dream.’
Truth be told, Gin had wanted to raise it to 50 points, but there was a slight issue holding him back.
The cost to raise any of his stats was 20 Faith points. It was relatively cheap considering he earned 50 to 100 Faith points per day. Sometimes even more than that. With that in mind, Gin just kept on increasing his Mind stats since it was the one that affected his hypnosis the most.
Ping!
-Use 200 Faith points to raise the Mind stats by 1 point?
Suddenly, there was a price hike once his Mind stats reached 20 points.
‘So, this is the catch…’
Checking the price of raising his Strength from 10 to 11 still cost the same, 20 Faith points. But to raise his Mind stats from 20 to 21 would take 10 times the price.
‘It’s like a soft cap to prevent me from getting overpowered way too early or something. Well, I can still raise it, it’s just the price is hella expensive.’
Gin smiled. He understood what he had to do—
‘Then I just have to earn more Faith points, don’t I? Teressa’s doing an amazing job, but I’m far from satisfied.’
Focusing his gaze back on the crying Sera in the middle of the training field, Gin sighed with anticipation.
His 20 Mind against her 5 Mind.
She’s still under his Minor Hypnosis state, combined with Hypnotic Voice skill and Mind Breaker title, Sera might as well be at his mercy.
Gin felt giddy. The word ‘excited’ would be an understatement. He was ecstatic.
‘Let’s do it.’
…
…
…
Sera opened her eyes.
“…”
The familiar ceiling came into her view. There were birds chirping outside the window, the sound echoed in and out of her ears, it was as if she was still dreaming. Her body felt sore and lethargic. A pounding headache made her grimaced in pain.
‘My head hurts… I think I had a nightmare.’
She couldn’t remember what it was, but somehow she had a feeling it was related to the black haired foreigner somehow.
‘I think I remember I was at the training field… sparring against Wyca…? Then, what else…?’
The more she tried to remember, the bigger the headache became. It pounded into her head like a hammer—
“Urgh…”
Sera shook her head and got off from the bed. As she yawned and scratched her back, she took off her shirt, revealing her perky breasts and pink nipples, unlike her mother which was on the darker side. Pulling her pants down, she revealed her secret garden starting from above her vulva and down to the anus. Her garden was blue colored and quite dense to say the least.
Sera rarely— no, she had never groomed herself. She had never cared about such things in the first place. Swordsmanship and adventuring to the outside world was all she ever thought about. Her mother did teach her how to groom herself, but she just didn’t think it was important enough to be prioritized.
Sera sluggishly slipped into a set of new clothes, specially crafted by her mother as a birthday gift. Every stitch was made with her mother's gentle hands, imbued with love and care that only a mother could offer. The knitted ensemble was not only a perfect fit, but also comfortable enough to move in around freely, making it ideal for outdoor activities. To Sera, this precious outfit was more than just a set of clothes, but a treasure that she would always cherish.
As Sera let out another big yawn, she slowly made her way out of her bedroom, with a stretch of her arms and a deadly morning breath.
“Oh.”
There they were. Her parents were sitting at the table, savoring their breakfast in peaceful chatter. And also of course, the black haired foreigner, Gin, that has been bugging her for a while, was there drinking water in silence. He seemed to be enjoying himself which irritated her for some reason.
“Good morning, Sera.”
“Morning, Sera. How was your sleep?”
“Morning. It was alright. I think I had a nightmare.”
“Did you? Well, maybe that’s because you skipped your dinner last night.”
“…Maybe.”
There was only one seat left available from the entire table. The one right next to Gin. Sera rolled her eyes in annoyance, she let out a big sigh and took a seat next to him. Teressa handed her breakfast. She looked at her meal, there was bread on a plate, and an empty soup bowl and cup.
“Urgh, mom, where’s my soup and drink?”
“Get it yourself, you are a big girl now.”
“…Fine.”
Sera stood up from her seat, turned to her side and kicked the chair next to her, where Gin was sitting.
“Whoa!”
Gin held on to his chair and was pushed to the side. He almost fell off his seat.
“What the—“
“What are you doing? Take off your pants already.”
“Huh?”
“Quickly!”
Sera looked genuinely annoyed, and reached to his waist. She undid his belt and pulled down his pants, revealing his white underwear— the last line of defense protecting his family jewels.
“What are you wearing underwear for? It’s just plain annoying!”
“Right…”
Meanwhile, Coll was just finished with his breakfast. He emptied his cup of water and grabbed his hunting equipment.
“Alright, I’m heading out to hunt. I’ll be back by evening.”
Hearing her father’s words, Sera stopped whatever she was doing and stared at him.
“Don’t we already have enough meat? Are you going to sell them to the butcher?”
“Obviously. You are leaving in less than a year, Sera. I can’t have you go out there with empty pockets, can’t I?”
Sera bit her lips. Her eyes glistened under the light.
“Dad, you don’t have to go that far! I’ll be fine!”
“Anything for my beloved daughter, you see?”
And with that, Coll departed on his hunt. His wife and daughter watched him fade into the vast forest as they bid him farewell. As he walked away, his back gradually shrank until he vanished completely from their view. Sera and her mother couldn't help but let out a deep sigh as they acknowledged the sense of worry and uncertainty that often accompanied Coll's departure.
Sera wiped away her tears and turned her attention back to the man standing before her, striving to maintain her composure despite the ache in her heart. Her hands moved quickly, pulling down his pants to his knees and then his underwear—
Fwoop—!
“O-oh…”
“Hm~”
Sera saw his penis sprung out the moment she pulled down his underwear. It throbbed, bouncing up and down for a bit. The glans was on the darker side, and the shaft was thick and covered in veins. His pubic hair was dense and curly, going all the way down to his balls. It reminded her of her own private part—
‘It looks so grotesque—!!’
Sera clicked her tongue while Teressa was drooling in the back, watching intently.
“Why is your dick so grotesque looking? Whatever, just give it to me.”
She grabbed her empty soup bowl and held it right below his glans. Since the penis kept on bobbing up and down, Sera thought it looked unsteady. She grabbed it with force— aiming the head downwards facing the bowl. This rough gesture made Gin shudder.
“Quickly, pour it into the bowl.”
She raised the empty bowl closer towards the tip of the glans, expecting something to come out of it. This was the closest Sera ever got to a real penis, ‘Men’s genitals are really weird looking… How do they work, exactly?’
“…Pour what into the bowl?”
Gin looked at her with a confused looking smile.
“Don’t play dumb with me! Hurry up! I don’t want to be late to the training today!”
Teressa perked up her ears, “Sweetie, I thought you were going to take a rest today?”
“Nope. I can’t skip training. Not after I lost to Wyca. They would think I’m a loser… morever, I…”
“You… what is it?”
“Nothing. Anyway! Hurry up!”
A sudden flashback of when she had almost strangled Wyca to death flooded her mind. Shame coursed through her, realizing that she had allowed her anger to consume her completely, an epiphany that only became clear after the damage had been done.
‘I hate her. she’s a bitch, a cockroach, a piece of shit… but I don’t think she deserves death—‘
Gin, sitting quietly on his chair, couldn’t help but to squint his eyes. It was only for a split second before his gaze returned to neutral. Neither Teressa nor Sera noticed his subtle shift of expressions.
“…”
Teressa, sensing her daughter feeling distressed, decided to give a helping hand to her, “Sera, you silly little thing. That is not the proper way to prepare breakfast. Have you forgotten?”
Teressa walked up to her daughter while shaking her head in disapproval.
“H-huh? Then… how do I get it done, then?”
Sera was taken aback. She thought for a second and came up blank.
‘Oh yeah, how do you prepare breakfast again? I forgot… hm, something doesn’t seem right…’
Teressa gently nudged her daughter to scoot over, “I’ll show you how it’s done.” She reached her hands and held the shaft carefully, raising it up high, showing the testicles underneath the base, “First, you have to sniff it.”
Gin felt his dick throbbing harder and harder. The sight of a mother teaching her daughter how to please a stranger like him was enough to turn his phallus into diamonds.
‘This is insane.’
Even so, Gin remained quiet. He simply followed the flow and let everything play out. Fortunately, Gin was already prepared. He used Dream Walker not only to Sera, but also to Coll. It was to make all of this possible—
“I-I have to sniff it!? W-why!?”
“It is the least you can do to express your gratitude for your meal, Sera. Don’t you know this?”
“O-oh right, yeah… I, uh… I forgot about that. I don’t know how…”
Sera stumbled on her words. Something was wrong. Very wrong. An alarm was set off in the deepest corner of her mind, yet the blaring sound it emitted only echoed into the void, vain and futile. It was for an instant, the hesitation was brief and only lasted for a second before her mind stabilized.
“Okay, let me—“ Sera was about to take over the penis when Teressa cut her off, “Hold it, Sera. Just to be sure, I’m going to show you the entire process from start to finish, okay?”
“Okay…”
Sera pouted, ‘I’m just preparing my breakfast, mom. How difficult could it be?’
Teressa closed in on Gin’s lush, curly forest, and inhaled really, really deeply.
“Snnniiiifffffffff———!!”
Her lungs expanded to its absolute limit. Teressa held her breath for a few moments before exhaling gently, letting the air inside her out bit by bit.
“……”
Sera watched her mother with complete focus. She thought to herself, ‘Oh, mom looks really sexy while doing that…’
Teressa’s face flushed bright red. Her cheeks, nose and ears were glowing. Without even having to read her mind, Gin knew she was horny beyond saving right now. Meanwhile, Sera noticed that his dick was growing even bigger than before. The veins looked more apparent, pulsating with such an amazing vigor and vitality. She couldn’t avert her eyes from it, ‘It’s so grotesque. I… I wonder how it would feel to touch it—‘
Just as she was about to touch the shaft, Teressa’s hand grabbed her wrist, “Sera, your turn will come. Let your mother enjoy herself for a moment.” There was a dangerous glint in her eyes that made Sera backed off obediently.
“…Yes, mom.”
“Good. Sniff—!”
“…”
The longer Sera watched, the more palpable the heat became—
‘What, is this feeling…? My tummy… feels really hot. This is weird, aren’t we just preparing breakfast though?’
Teressa took another deep sniff of the hairy testicles and let out a satisfied sigh. She rubbed and tapped the glans with her cheeks, left and right. Precum was leaking out from the tip.
“Oh, there it is…!”
“Patience, Sera. Good things come to those who wait.”
Teressa licked just the very tip of the glans, slurping off the precum and swallowed it with an audible gulp—
“Gulp!”
This time Sera’s eyes burned with obvious fervent yearning, fixated on every single movement and gesture her mother did, ‘I wonder what’s the taste like…’ She noticed there was something strange with her thoughts— as if there were gaps in her knowledge, ‘This is… this is normal, right? We do this every morning for breakfast, right? I should know how it tasted, yet why…?’
As Sera began to reach onto something, Teressa spoke and cut off her train of thoughts, “Now, once you are done with the gratitude, you can start on stimulating the testicles.”
“O-oh!”
Sera snapped back to reality. Her cloudy eyes were filled with fervent desire once again. She bit her lips and thought, ‘The heat… it’s getting stronger… how long do I have to watch mom doing it?’
Ignorant of her daughter’s thoughts, Teressa opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue as far as she could and moved in closer towards the balls. The tip of her tongue touched the lower part of the nutsack, causing an electrifying jolt coursed through Gin’s spine, an unadulterated pleasure was sent directly to his brain.
“Ghhk—!!”
Teressa noticed her master’s subtle moan. She moved her tongue left and right, flicking his balls around, ‘Oh, master’s face is so cute—‘
Gin’s relaxed and confident demeanor changed almost immediately.
‘Shit! Teressa knew my body way too well! I can’t—!!’
Covering his mouth with his right hand, Gin held his moan as if his life depended on it. This naturally didn’t escape Sera’s notice. She looked up and saw his face flushed red all the way up to his ears.
‘Urk, why— how the hell does he look this cute!?’
That was the moment Sera realized something about Gin. Just not too long ago when she first met him, he was looking rather chubby. There were fat deposits on his cheeks, under his chin, arms, stomach and legs. He looked like he grew up with a silver platter, perhaps that was a supporting factor for her dislike towards him.
But now, his physique has transformed completely. Gin underwent a change that was easy to miss out on. All of the useless fat on his body has disappeared, replaced by lean muscles. Because of this, his silhouette didn’t change much, and that was why it was barely noticeable. The muscles growing on his body didn’t look as eye-catching at first, but now that she took a closer inspection, she could tell just how much strength was packed within.
‘Just how the hell did he achieve such a crazy physical transformation in such a short span of time?’
Sera became curious how he looked under the long-sleeved shirt he often wore. Her gaze lowered from his torso towards his waist, and finally back to her mother.
‘Just let me touch him a little bit…’
She reached her hand quietly, resting her palms on his thigh, ‘Ooh! I can feel his quads!’
Gin himself wasn’t doing any better. His breathing and heartbeat became faster and harder, ‘Teressa’s too good at this! I’m gonna—‘
“—Phew! Now, once you are done stimulating the testicles, we can move on to the phallus.”
“Ah…”
Teressa stopped right before Gin reached the climax.
His eyes snapped wide open. The emotion he felt at the moment was indescribable. Indignation, injustice, unfairness, outrageous— there weren't enough words to paint his current state of being.
“Oh… it’s twitching.” Sera looked at her mother with a hint of amazement, as if she just discovered a whole new world to explore. On the other hand, if eyes could kill, Teressa would be dead where she kneeled right now by Gin’s rage-filled gaze.
‘Oh, master—’
Teressa raised the shaft and took another quick sniff—
“Sniff—! …Ah~”
Her heart trembled in joy seeing her master’s intense gaze, ‘Master, will you punish me for this? I can’t wait—‘
Witnessing the both of them staring into each other’s eyes, Sera couldn’t help but to swallow down her saliva.
‘My body… it’s burning. I can’t take it anymore…’
