I made sure that I couldn't see the giant wolf anymore before finally releasing the Time Stop skill and settling down.
I found another safe area for us to hide in before setting Sasha onto the ground.
During the entire time, she had a dazed look on her face as if she had no idea what had happened.
She didn't even seem to care that the people that she had worked with had all been killed by the giant wolf.
There was only that look of pleasure that was on her face.
But I didn't mind this since this was what I had wanted to see in the first place.
After setting her down, I looked at her for a bit before leaning in to slap her on the face.
With that slap, she was snapped out of her daze and asked, "What's going…"
Before she could finish her words, I suddenly said, "I am your master now."
Sasha's mouth froze and her eyes suddenly dimmed before she said, "Yes, master."
Seeing the empty look in her eyes, I immediately recognized that I had succeeded. It was clear that her will had been broken and she had completely fallen under the control of the Hypnosis skill.
So it seemed that I could use the Hypnosis skill to induce personality changes in people, it all depended on how I broke their will or influenced them before giving the suggestion.
Of course, I wouldn't be able to do the same thing as I did with Sasha each time, but this possibility gave me many ideas.
It was impossible to achieve my goals in this world by myself, so I would need to get more and more people on my side.
With this discovery, it would be much easier for me to do what I wanted in the future.
If I were to take control of some awakeners, I would be able to protect myself even if my identity was exposed.
I even started having dreams about taking over A Rankers and S Rankers in the future.
But I quickly snapped myself out of that dream.
It was still quite far away in the future, so I shouldn't let myself get lost in this fantasy. After all, just a single misstep right now would mean death for me if my identity was discovered.
So I shouldn't be dreaming about these big things and should be focusing on the small things I should do right now.
For example, I should figure out a way to hide what had happened with those men just now.
Sasha would be leaving with me and we needed to come up with some kind of cover story to explain how she looked.
So I looked at her and moved a few steps back before saying, "Come over here."
Sasha stood up in an almost mechanical manner and walked over to me like a robot.
I slightly knitted my brows when I saw this.
If she acted this way, it would make it very clear that something was controlling her. If this was discovered by the people from the Awakener Association guarding the entrance of this dungeon, they would immediately detain her.
They would suspect her of either being controlled by some kind of monster…or being controlled by me.
I couldn't let that happen, so I said, "Act more like the way that you used to."
When Sasha heard this, she froze on the spot. Then her body shook a few times before she finally revealed a wide smile.
I was surprised by this sudden transformation since it was completely different from before.
I quickly gave her a few orders to test her out and I found that she was acting like a normal human once again. She wasn't like that mechanical doll that I had ordered around just a few minutes ago.
This would without a doubt be enough to fool the guards that were outside, but to make sure that everything went smoothly, I would need to take a few more precautions. At the same time, I wanted to run a few more tests to see how useful this kind of mind control would be.
So I said, "Alright, here's the plan…"
…
When she woke up, Sasha found that she was in a completely empty space.
She looked around herself, trying to find a way out of this pitch black world, but she found that she wasn't able to find a single thing around her.
After a while, she finally said, "Hello? Is anyone there? Can you please tell me where I am?"
Her voice echoed off into the distance, but there was no response that came.
There was only silence that met her questions.
Since there was nothing here, she tried her best to remember what had happened.
The last thing that she remembered was that…she had been drowning in pleasure.
No, it wasn't just that.
It was that strange person that she had met, the one that she had tried to rob with her man.
But then everything had changed when he used those strange abilities.
She had been filled with a fire that she hadn't been able to control and she had allowed him to do whatever he wanted with her body, drowning her in pleasure.
After all of that pleasure, she had lost consciousness and when she woke up, she found herself in this place.
What had happened when she had lost consciousness?
Once again, her attention was drawn back to this empty world around her.
But then she suddenly realized something.
Since this was a pitch black world, just why was she able to see anything?
Shouldn't it be pitch black?
However, there was this faint light that filled this world that allowed her to see still.
Where was this faint light coming from?
She looked around herself again for the source of this faint light, but she wasn't able to find a single thing…that is until she suddenly looked up above her and found the screen that was above her head, lighting up this world around her.
But what was this screen?
