Hypnosis

Life is like a game, and everyone is a player. If you got an absolutely perfect cheat item while playing, what would you do?

Sebastian was one of the lucky ones in this game.

In a lot of people’s memories, there are always those kids with almost zero presence. Sebastian was that kind of person. His presence had always been paper-thin. He barely had any friends.

Having no social skills and never knowing how to talk to people had been Sebastian’s biggest problem his whole life. Because he never liked to speak, he grew up with almost no friends. That loneliness slowly twisted his personality and his mind. At first it made him feel empty. Later he just stopped giving a shit.

Sebastian gradually got used to living inside his own head. Aside from finishing his schoolwork, the thing he loved most was reading. Whenever he had free time he would tear through every kind of book he could get his hands on. Without even realizing it, he ended up with an IQ far higher than most kids his age.

At only eighteen, Sebastian’s mind was already as mature as a man in his fifties.

The story starts on the day Sebastian was helping his parents clean out the basement of their house. In a dusty corner he found an ancient-looking book. The moment he saw the three old characters on the cover, he recognized them instantly: Hypnosis!

That day something drove him. While his parents weren’t looking, he slipped the book under his shirt. After they finished cleaning the basement, he carried it straight up to his room and started flipping through the pages, hungry for every word.

The book was basically a manual on how to seize control of someone’s mind. With Sebastian’s intelligence and a few weeks of researching online, he managed to understand most of it.

It turned out the book was written by some official from ancient times who used these methods to control people. Through certain old incantations you could slowly warp someone’s consciousness, or straight-up turn them into your puppet. The last page roughly recorded the official’s deeds: he used hypnosis to turn hundreds of people into his personal slaves. Any woman he set his eyes on became his wife. There were even stories of once-chaste, fiercely conservative women who, after meeting the official only a few times, would shamelessly fuck him in the middle of the street, completely transformed into filthy whores. When the emperor finally found out, he ordered the official’s entire bloodline executed in secret. Before the disaster hit, the official wrote this book so the art wouldn’t die with him, and ordered one of his sons to disguise himself as a servant and escape with it.

When Sebastian finished reading everything, he was stunned.

He eagerly started studying the ancient methods written in the book. A dark idea had always lived in the back of his mind. The idea of brainwashing someone until they obeyed every command, or completely changing their personality, always gave him a strange, electric thrill. Because he had never been able to fit into any social circle, the fantasy of turning other people into his slaves had always been there. And the first person he thought of controlling was Mom.

Speaking of Mom, Sebastian’s family life was the complete opposite of his loneliness at school. He had a happy home. He had a gentle, devoted Mom, and a father who spoiled him rotten.

Sebastian’s dad was a company manager. His income was more than enough to keep the family comfortable. Whatever Sebastian wanted, Dad would buy it for him without question.

Mom was a high-school music teacher. She was an absolute beauty. She took care of herself so well that even at thirty-six she still looked like a twenty-something fresh out of college. Pale, soft skin. Bright eyes. Perfect white teeth. A face so pretty it didn’t look like it had ever given birth. She had a body that made your mouth water and long, elegant legs. She wasn’t quite at celebrity level, but her perfect figure and refined aura made her look like something out of a dream.

With a mother that beautiful, it was impossible for Sebastian not to have filthy thoughts about Mom. But Mom was extremely conservative. Growing up, Sebastian had never once seen Mom wear makeup. She always went bare-faced. He had never seen Mom wear anything sexy either. Even when she wore a skirt, it always covered at least to the knee.

Sebastian thought it was a complete waste that Mom was so reserved. A woman this fucking gorgeous should dress up and show herself off to men, right? Of course he never dared say that out loud. He could only feed the fantasy in his head.

Countless times he had imagined Mom on her knees under him, dressed in the sluttiest clothes, spreading her legs in the most shameless poses and begging him to fuck her. And now, with this book of hypnosis in his hands, all of it could become real.

“Sebastian, the weather’s nice today. You should go take a walk by the beach.”

Mom pushed open his bedroom door, carrying a plate of pastries. She was wearing a soft beige house dress, her long black hair tied up in an elegant bun. She looked graceful and stunning. The thin fabric cl
