Karl's heart raced as Jane called his name from behind. He quickly calmed himself, hiding a sly smile before turning to face his boss.
"Yes, Mrs. Jane?" He tried to keep his tone casual, even though his mind was racing. Did Jane realize something? Could the system have glitched and made her remember the strange things that had just happened?
Jane walked closer, her expression cold and professional as usual. There was no sign of the strange behavior she had displayed earlier. In fact, her face seemed more annoyed than before. "Did you finish organizing the stock in the storage room yesterday?" she asked, folding her arms.
Karl felt a wave of relief wash over him. It seemed the hijack had worked perfectly—Jane didn't remember the bizarre events, like crawling on the floor or licking his shoes. To Jane, everything seemed normal.
"Of course, everything's neatly arranged," Karl responded smoothly. "You can check it if you want."
Jane didn't bother to check. She gave a short nod before heading back to her office. Karl watched her go, while the memory of Jane's embarrassing actions remained fresh in his mind.
However, the satisfaction he initially felt slowly morphed into something darker. Karl wasn't just toying with other people's common sense; he was changing them—making them act against their natural instincts. And, worse, he enjoyed it.
Karl lifted his chin, pushing aside any doubts that had momentarily surfaced. Guilt? That was a foolish feeling, useless. A sly grin crept back onto his face. This power made him feel alive, and he wasn't going to stop just because of some weak, human emotion.
"Just wait until I can use SpankSome," he muttered, still staring at Jane's office door. "I'll make you be my obedient servant."
He reopened his system panel, watching his growing stats. Every hijack gave him a satisfaction he couldn't find in his previous life. Jane was just the beginning. Karl was starting to realize that the deeper he delved into this game, the more he enjoyed the control he had.
"Maybe I should release some of this built-up frustration later," he said softly to himself. "With SpankSome, and she'll be my first."
Karl grinned.
Karl closed the panel and walked confidently back to the cashier's desk. If there was one thing he had learned from this system, it was that he could shape the world according to his will. And no one could stop him.
Leaning against the cashier's desk, he began plotting his next move. Jane might have been a fun target, but there were plenty of others he could control, twist, and break. "After Jane, it'll be Mrs. Thompson, and finally, my favorite milf, Mrs. Julia," he thought with an even wider grin.
Karl was eagerly awaiting the day he reached level 5. For him, Jane and Mrs. Thompson were just ordinary milfs, unlike Julia, who was always on his mind. And he was ready to seize every opportunity to love Julia fully, with his playful touch, of course.
Karl went back to his annoying job, receiving complaints from grumpy customers and getting yelled at by his irritating manager throughout the day.

Karl was finally done with his shift, and go home.
At Karl's apartement.
He sat on his couch, his fingers swiftly tapping his phone screen, searching for some entertainment after days of being busy at the mini-mart.
Karl didn't want to use the Common Sense Maker carelessly, as his grandmother and family would also be affected. He didn't want his family doing something dirty, even if it would be erased from everyone's memory by the universe.
While browsing the internet, he came across a webnovel titled I Have A System from Great Demon Asmodeus. Karl grinned.
"It's been a while since I've read this. After all the crazy terms like 'Ancient bish' and 'modern holy stick,' I wonder what other strange terms this author has come up with?"
He started reading the novel and was instantly entertained. The story was about someone who received a system from Asmodeus, one of the kings of hell. Karl was really into the webnovel because the MC in the novel had the same fate as him.
The difference was that the protagonist in the novel had unique skills like "Childfree," which allowed the MC to have sex without the risk of pregnancy, while Karl didn't have any special skills yet because his level was still low.
"This is hilarious… so weird... caramel meat hole? Damn... this author is something else," he muttered as he continued reading.
When he reached the last available chapter in the privilege section, a strange idea crossed his mind.
"Hmm… I'm pretty entertained. How about I give this author a little appreciation?" Karl chuckled to himself.
"Hahha... those unique terms are stuck in my head," Karl said, laughing.
He quickly opened the Common Sense Maker. His fingers moved swiftly as he typed in a new common sense rule.

"Alright, let's see what happens." Karl grinned with satisfaction. With one touch, the hijack was set into motion.

Now, anyone who saw the novel would feel a strong urge to support the author, whether through gifts, power stones, or even overflowing positive comments.
Karl leaned back, laughing softly. "Enjoy the little appreciation from me, author!"

Meanwhile, somewhere in a third-world country...
Lil_Asmodeus, the author of I Have a System from Great Demon Asmodeus, stared at his phone screen with sparkling eyes. It felt like a dream come true. Every time he checked his webnovel dashboard, the number of gifts and power stones had increased dramatically.
"Wow… this is awesome!" he murmured, smiling widely. "Next month, I might actually have some real money."
Such a sudden surge of support should have made Lil_Asmodeus ecstatic.
He accepted the increase in support with great joy, without any doubts.
Until he tilted his head and frowned.
"Why am I so excited about something as normal as this?" he thought. "Strange… why am I so happy about something so typical?"
A new notification popped up, informing him that nine power stones and five gifts had just been received from unfamiliar readers.

Lil_Asmodeus smiled, thinking it was a normal thing.
Lil_Asmodeus had no idea this was the result of a hijack, and he felt nothing strange at all.
Calmly, he continued writing the next chapter. For him, everything was going normally. There was nothing to question.
"So strange, why does something so ordinary motivate me to write more?"

[ A/N: I hope you all get affected too this time XD ]

Karl stretched out on the couch, satisfied with the results of his actions. As he scrolled through his phone, he read the glowing reviews from readers who had just been hijacked.
"They're all caught in the scenario I created," he muttered with satisfaction.
Without directly touching a single person, Karl had managed to manipulate hundreds, all through his system. This was more than just control over a few people around him. This was true power, spreading without limits, seeping into the minds of people without them even realizing it
"Even though my system isn't from the great demon Asmodeus, this system will make me too OP!"
