Chereads / Absolute Hypnosis System / Chapter 2 - Taste of Power

Chapter 2 - Taste of Power

"So, tell me, Bai Mei," Li Tian drawled, leaning back against the wall, "who exactly is the servant disciple here now, hmm?"

Bai Mei blinked, her usually sharp blue eyes looking slightly glazed. "Uh... you are?" she replied, tilting her head in confusion.

'She still doesn't get it!' he thought, a familiar sense of annoyance rising within him. 'Without the System, I wouldn't be able to control this arrogant woman.'

He sneered inwardly, relishing the shift in power. He might have been a nobody in his past life, but now, he was a nobody with a cheat code.

'A loser with a system is king,' he thought, the idea fueling his newfound sense of superiority. Bai Mei had sealed her fate the moment she laid a hand on him. She was going to learn her place, one way or another.

He locked his gaze on her, the subtle glow of the Hypnosis Function shimmering within his eyes. "You were quite bold, daring to strike your master," Li Tian said, his voice low and laced with a cruel edge. "From this moment forward, you will be known as 'slave'. Do you have any objections?"

A flicker of something like revulsion crossed Bai Mei's face, the thought of serving this seemingly unremarkable man stirring a deep, visceral disgust within her.

However, she swallowed it down, her voice strangely compliant. "No, master," she said, bowing her head slightly. "From now on, I shall be your slave."

Li Tian sensed the undertones of disgust, the resistance still burning faintly beneath her compliant exterior. He wanted to crush that resistance completely.

He wanted to break her down and build her back up to his own twisted desires!

"You will feel reverence for me," he commanded, his voice hardening, "and if that disgust returns, even for a moment, you'll be kneeling in front of me for ten days and ten nights."

The change in Bai Mei was instantaneous and unsettling. Her previously sharp features softened, and her blue eyes, once filled with haughty superiority, now radiated a disturbingly fervent devotion. She dropped her head to the floor.

"I beg for your forgiveness, master!" she wailed, her voice trembling with an almost hysterical remorse.

"This slave... this wretched, worthless slave was so utterly depraved and sinful in her previous actions!" Her words were rapid, tumbling over each other in a frantic rush.

"How could I have ever dared to commit such heinous acts against the magnificent being that is you!" She seemed on the verge of tears.

Li Tian was taken aback by the sheer intensity of her reaction, the borderline fanaticism in her voice. But there was also something strangely intoxicating about it.

He felt a surge of power, a delicious thrill coursing through his veins. She was truly his puppet now.

Curiosity gnawed at him. What exactly had she done to the previous Li Tian?

"Tell me," Li Tian commanded, "list every single one of your crimes against me. Do not leave a single detail out."

The word "me" seemed to send a physical tremor through Bai Mei. It was as if the very word was imbued with a divine power, a celestial reverence.

Her body quivered, her voice lowering to a hushed whisper, as if she were confessing her sins to a wrathful deity.

"My transgressions are many, my Lord," she began, her eyes fixed on the ground in abject humility.

"In my previous ignorance, I forced my Lord to clean the latrines, I made my Lord scrub the floors with rags that were stained by pig excrements. I forced my Lord to do the menial chores of a servant, things a divine deity should never have to suffer!" her voice was taking on a more high-pitched tone.

Her voice took on a more high-pitched tone with each crime she confessed. "I spat on my Lord's food. I replaced my Lord's drinking water with the remnants of my bathwater. I called my Lord titles that are only fit for a lowly wretch like myself. That is a sin for which I deserve death! I was so blind, so utterly foolish." Her words were punctuated by gasps and sobs.

Li Tian stared at her, a strange mix of shock and disgust bubbling in his gut. The details she described were sickening, vile. This was far worse than any bullying he'd faced in his past life.

'Holy fuck,' Li Tian thought, a shiver running down his spine.

'She is insane, truly insane!'

He didn't hold any grudges for the previous Li Tian; they were two separate beings in two separate lives.

What he couldn't forgive, however, was her audacity to slap him. It was a personal affront, a transgression that demanded punishment.

Li Tian's gaze drifted over Bai Mei's kneeling form, his eyes lingering on the way her white robe clung to the curves of her body.

It was a strange mix of power and arousal, a growing hunger gnawing at him. He hadn't been merely slightly aroused. He had been hard since she had walked in through the door, he simply hadn't acknowledged it yet.

"Trash," Li Tian's voice was low and husky, laced with a predatory edge, "how about you take off your clothes?"

The command was less a question and more a declaration, his gaze hot as it traced the curves of her body.

Bai Mei's hands moved to her robes, her movements clumsy and hesitant. She seemed to be wrestling with a strange internal conflict.

She desperately didn't want to bother her Lord by standing, but she also wanted to be as pleasing to him as possible, even if she didn't deserve the honor of being seen by him. Each movement was a struggle, as if she was battling a force within herself.

'She's a mess!' he thought, a thrill coursing through him. The system was truly interesting, able to bend the will of its slaves.

Bai Mei's teeth gritted, her muscles tensing under the intensity of Li Tian's gaze. She could feel the weight of his eyes on her, a hot, invasive caress that set her skin ablaze.

He grew impatient and Li Tian was about to tell her to rise, but Bai Mei, fueled by her fervent devotion, reached a breaking point.

She tore at the fabric, the sound of ripping silk echoing in the room as her robes gave way.

Her white robes lay discarded on the floor, revealing the breathtaking form beneath. Her breasts, full and high, jutted out, their pale flesh glistening with a light sheen of sweat. Her nipples, pink and taut, were erect, as if begging for his touch.

A delicate line of her ribcage disappeared into the curve of her hips. Her stomach was flat and smooth, leading to a small triangle of dark hair below. Her thighs were long and shapely, smooth and silky to the touch.

Her ass was round and pert, the cheeks separated by a tempting valley that made Li Tian's cock throb harder. Li Tian could not help but take in her beauty, she was a masterpiece in his eyes.

"Get up and serve me, slave," Li Tian commanded, his voice a low, rumbling growl that sent a shiver down Bai Mei's spine. His eyes were fixed on her, a mixture of possessiveness and raw desire burning within them, and she could feel his gaze like a physical touch.

Bai Mei immediately obeyed, rising from her knees with a fluid grace that belied the internal turmoil she was fighting.

Her breasts, previously hidden beneath the fabric, now bounced with a provocative freedom, their peaks swaying with each movement, as if beckoning him closer. They were high and firm, practically begging to be touched.

Her eyes were fixed on the floor, but her body was all his, and she knew it. She moved with a purpose, her focus zeroing in on the source of her master's desire.

...

A few hours passed, the sky outside shifting into the soft hues of the dawn.

It was the Hour of the Rabbit, when the world slowly began to stir.

Li Tian's eyes fluttered open, and he found himself facing the naked form of Bai Mei. Her body was sprawled beside him, her skin flushed and slightly red, a testament to the night's activities.

Her limbs were tangled in the discarded sheets, and a soft moan escaped her lips as she shifted, her body aching from his rough ministrations.

"Cute," Li Tian murmured, the word escaping his lips before he could stop it.

Bai Mei's eyes fluttered open, her gaze immediately fixing on him.

Tears welled in her eyes at his words.

'Cute...' She replayed the word in her mind, her heart skipping a beat.

Her Lord had called her cute! It was the most wonderful thing she had ever heard. She didn't deserve such a compliment, but still, it sent a wave of warmth and a strange kind of pride through her.

"L-Lord," she stammered, her voice choked with emotion, "I am unworthy of such praise!"

She shook her head vehemently, as if trying to dispel the sinful thoughts daring to take root. She was a slave, a mere tool for his pleasure, not a recipient of his affections.

Li Tian watched her, a flicker of amusement in his eyes. He opened the system interface, curious if his conquest had yielded any rewards.

"Status," he muttered, the shimmering screen materializing before him.

...

Li Tian frowned slightly. His point total hadn't increased. 'So, no 'achievement unlocked' bonus for first time fucks, huh?' He mused, but his good mood from the previous night lingered, overriding his slight disappointment.

Seems like his system wasn't as simplistic as he initially thought it was.

"System," Li Tian said, his curiosity piqued, "how exactly does one obtain points?" He had been too preoccupied with more pressing matters last night to inquire.

Ding! Points are obtained by killing creatures, either through direct combat or by those under the effects of Hypnosis. Points awarded are in accordance with the defeated creature's energy level.

Li Tian's eyes flickered to Bai Mei, who was watching him with that same intense, unwavering devotion. Bai Mei caught his gaze, her cheeks flushed with a light blush, as if reading his thoughts.

"Lord," she said softly, her voice filled with a hint of trepidation, "I must attend the Outer Disciple Gathering today. It is where disciples compete for spots in the Inner Sect."

She paused, her voice dropping lower. "I... I have little to no chance of victory, but if I do not go, I will lose a great deal of Sect Points." She dared to look at him directly, her eyes pleading. "However, if my Lord desires me to stay, I will not hesitate to obey."

Li Tian found himself intrigued. A tournament? Inner Sect disciples? Now that he thought about it, he had been cooped up in this room for nearly a whole day.

He was truly a NEET through and through, even in a new world. He looked at Bai Mei's upturned face, her beauty both captivating and unsettling, and a smirk played on his lips.

"Hmm," he said, a glint of amusement in his eyes. "Let's go. I am rather curious about this 'tournament'."
