There's no genre in erotic games as faithful to hypnosis as this one.
This conclusion comes from my vast experience with countless erotic games.
In a typical erotic game, there are often too many things to strategize and conquer. Visual novels, for instance, branch out into thousands of different paths.
And I never put a game down until I've seen every collectible and ending. Those kinds of games ultimately end up being played with your pants up, hardly erotic at all.
On the other hand, hypnosis games? One click, and it's done. They might fail as games but succeed as erotic experiences. Ten out of ten.
Thus, whenever I felt like playing an erotic game, I always turned to hypnosis games.
One day, I stumbled upon a high-quality indie game.
Eventually, I found myself transported into it.
'The combat system seemed unusually detailed... I've been had!!!'
I vividly remember the absurdity I felt on my first day inside the game.
For a hypnosis game, it was ridiculously well-made. I spent almost 1,000 hours diving into that game... Only to end up transmigrated into it. I felt ridiculous for falling into such a cliché from web novels.
But that was then. This is now. Since I was already here, I decided to enjoy this world to the fullest.
'Such beautiful women... Whoever put me here, thank you!!'
I used my hypnosis abilities to do all sorts of things.
"You're amazing, Yujin!! How did you defeat that strong opponent so easily...?"
'I must have fought that guy a hundred times in the game.'
I defeated monsters, vanquished villains.
"Kill me..."
"Oh, right."
'In the game, I could use hypnosis and do anything, but this guy is 300 years old. That's a bit much.'
Slice.
After much struggle, I even defeated the final boss, achieving a happy ending.
However,
'Now what? Does a god appear? In web novels, there's usually some divine gratitude...'
"..."
'Guess not?'
Despite finishing all the content of the game, the credits never rolled. My transmigration wasn't over.
In the end, I couldn't return to my original world, nor did I meet any divine being. I was left in this world, no longer a player, but just an ordinary person.…With the heroines I had conquered.
"Yujin? Is the fighting all over now?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah."
"Then it's time... For the wedding, my dear disciple♡"
"…What?"
Though I suddenly became a husband, my life continued peacefully.I was the number one S-rank hero who saved the world. I had immense wealth and fame, overwhelming power, and hypnosis. Beside me were my loving wives.
It was an endless curtain call of a life.
"Have you gained some weight? I'm getting old. It's about time."
'Like one of those breeding old men from erotic games.'
In peace, I gained some weight. Just like one of those breeding old men.
And I lived up to that image, literally having endless days of passion.
So, 15 years after transmigration, I had become a full-fledged
'hypnotic breeding old man.'
Enjoying my life in a peaceful world.
'Why was I transmigrated... Oh well, I must have lived a good life to be rewarded.'
———Without questioning why I was transmigrated or why I was given such a powerful ability like hypnosis.
Maybe whoever transmigrated me didn't like seeing that.
One day, out of nowhere, divine punishment was meted out to me.
"Why is the sky so dark...?"
'...Monsters?'
On my 35th birthday, grotesque monsters began to pour from the sky.
They ravaged the world with their irrational power.Clang!!
'...My attacks aren't working!? Why!?'
No matter how much mana I poured into my sword, it didn't leave a scratch on the monsters.
The strength I had accumulated jokingly was useless.
"You lost an arm...!!!"
"At least we survived. If Master hadn't helped, we'd be dead."
In the end, both my master and I lost an arm each. Even though we were the top two S-rank heroes, we were no match for them.
The monstrous army numbered in the tens, hundreds of thousands.
With monsters endlessly pouring from the sky, humanity was on the path to extinction.
'If I had tried harder, would it have been different?'
In the dystopian world, I could only regret.
Why had I been so complacent?As a transmigrant, I could have become stronger.
Why hadn't I tried harder?If not for this belly fat, at least my master wouldn't have lost an arm.
Why...
"Yujin, my family... they're all..."
"Sorry."
"There's nothing to apologize for... Sniff..."
"..."
'I'm sorry. It's all my fault.'
Could I only helplessly watch as my beloved wives wept?
I continued to drink in despair, waiting for the impending doom... It should have been like that.
[Despite the recent attacks, Pentagon Academy is recruiting new students as usual, causing controversy....]
'What's with this outdated news?'
One day, I woke up to see an absurd news report in front of me.
Attacks? Academy?What nonsense during the end of the world.
Moreover, the date showed it was 15 years ago.
It's one thing to watch old broadcasts in a drunken stupor, but this...
—Pause.'15 years ago? Wait. Huh?'
A sudden sense of déjà vu hit me.
I quickly searched my memory.
15 years ago, when I first transmigrated into this game, the first thing I saw was that news.
And now it's in front of me?I wouldn't have bothered to find and watch such news. Nor would my wives have.
Confused, I blinked, then looked around.
"..."
'Is this a dream? My arm is back, and my body is lean again.'
My severed arm had regrown. The flab was gone. The strength I had built up returned to a normal level.
In other words, this was either a dream or...
'I seem to have returned to 15 years ago.'———Regression.
A miracle I had desperately wished for but never dared to dream of.
I hesitated for a moment before looking around.
I saw the cramped and dirty dormitory where I had woken up when I first transmigrated 15 years ago.Crack.
"…It hurts when I crack my knuckles. So this isn't a dream."
A brief moment of denial.
Transmigration followed by regression?
Why would I experience such miracles twice?It's absurd.
But...
'Am I really back? Truly?'
I wanted to believe it, even knowing how absurd it was.
That I was given a second chance.
A chance to fight against the unjust apocalypse that my complacency had brought about.
I stood silently in front of a mirror. My eyes welled with joy, my lips trembled with happiness.
"…Wait for me, everyone."
'I'll try harder. So you won't have to cry this time.'
I vowed.
Whoever put me through this, I would gladly endure it.
For the wives who shared my life for 15 years, who loved only me, and whom I loved... Even if they wouldn't remember our shared memories.
'My phone's unresponsive, anyway.
'I had several work phones, but I hadn't changed my personal number.
If they had regressed with me, they would have contacted me immediately.
The fact that they didn't... Meant I was the only one who had regressed, the only one who remembered.
'My goals have multiplied.'
I realized one more thing.
My goal was to become stronger to prepare for 15 years later... And to reunite with my wives once more.
These two goals were now clear.
However, the latter seemed more challenging than before.
'And I will never use hypnosis on my wives.'In the previous timeline, when I still believed this world was just a game.
I used hypnosis to bond with my wives. Even justified my harem with hypnosis.
Of course, I later regretted it deeply and confessed everything.
My wives didn't mind, even asking me to use it more... But this time, I wanted to connect with them honestly. Without using hypnosis.
'I need to become a better man than I was in the first timeline.'
Plans quickly formed in my mind.To become stronger quickly, and to reconnect with them.
It didn't take long to put thoughts into action.
Jump.
'I need to get the creepy stuff out of the way first. They'd freak out if they knew.'
I headed to the dorm kitchen.
The kitchen only had a few scissors and a coffee pot.
But for now, this was enough.
Grab.
"Whew…"
First, I separated the scissors into two pieces.
"...I, Seo Yujin, will not feel pain until the hypnosis is lifted."
Ding! [Mental Barrier Judgment... Successful. The target is 'completely' hypnotized.]
I temporarily turned off the sensation of pain. There was no need to endure unnecessary suffering.
Finally, I raised the scissors high...
Thunk.
