chapter 34

honestly, playing around with psychological magic is one of the most fun things I've ever done. i can manipulate emotions, use their senses, take a look at peoples memories, alter, delete, or create memories, even physically control someones body! although with the last one I'm not very good at it, the most i can do is some sporadic twitching. all in all i broke up 12 couples, got 13 couples together, caused 3 murders, possible caused up to 6 children, made a guy forget his own name, create a scene where a guy gets a horrible rash in his memory, and altered a memory of a little girl so her dogs death wasn't as brutal so she wouldn't cry as much. i have the feeling that I'm not even scratching the surface with what I've figured out so far.

'this magic is really scary, if someone else had it. better make sure no one else learns it.' jack

i notice that my mana had dropped almost completely and decide to walk through the village. after walking for about 10 minutes i see Johanna running, as she rarely walks anymore, up to me.

'so what did you run off to do earlier?' Johanna

"why telepathy?" jack

"oops, sorry. forgot to move my mouth." Johanna

"training one of my skills." jack

"ah, sounds fun." Johanna

"it really was." jack

'have you picked your next target yet?' Johanna

'i have a couple people I'm thinking about. why?' jack

'cause i want to help with it this time.' Johanna

'i certainly wasn't expecting that answer' jack

'I've watched and herd stories about your kills for most of our life, i want to finally take part in this.' Johanna

i start smiling, i didn't realize that Johanna wanted to help me kill someone so badly.

'I'm not doing anything like that anytime soon, so you'll have to wait' jack

'thats fine with me' Johanna

"oh, Lynda! long time no see. oh, wait. shit." Johanna

"who's Lynda?" jack

when she says that a black lamia comes from out behind a wall behind me. she has a petite body, with black hair and dark skin.(imagine master nemesis from to love Ru as a lamia). she is about 13 feet long, so around 15, 16 years old.

"Johanna you meanie." Lynda

when i look at her face i notice that shes blushing, when she looks at my face she blushes harder and turns away.

"you look familiar." jack

"I'm sorry Lynda i completely forgot. you didn't want to be seen, sorry." Johanna

"its fine. it had to happen eventually." Lynda

she was still blushing, a lot, but she started to seem a little more composed.

"do i know you, you look familiar." jack

"she's your personal stalker. and, based on your reaction now, she was really good at it." Johanna

"wah, Johanna you meanie.don't tell him that." Lynda

any composer Lynda managed to obtain went away with that statement.

"wait, i think i know where i recognize you from. one of my victims was obsessed with snakes and attempted to rape you, until i killed him." jack

"yay, you remember me." Lynda

"shes been a good friend of mine for a couple years." Johanna

"Johanna." jack

"yes?" Johanna

"at this point you have a bigger harem than i do." jack

"true, but you'll always be my favorite. and i don't really need any of the other girls anymore now that I'm not human." Johanna

at this point i could feel Johanna using telepathy on Lynda, i couldn't 'hear' what she was saying though. it's a strange sensation, probably due to my psychological magic. after a couple minutes Lynda speaks up, blushing furiously.

"i-i want you to tame me." Lynda

"i think you should do it, shes rather fun, and powerful." Johanna

"what's your specialty?" jack

"r-rope and chain type weapons." Lynda

"thats a hard one to master, but it is really fun once you get it down." jack

"it is, but its really fun to use in forests and indoors. ahh." Lynda

she gets a little excited when talking about her weapon of choice before remembering the situation and starts to blush even more.

'she seams rather docile.' jack

'you should see her in a fight, even i struggle against her while indoors or in a forest.' Johanna

'you're not going to want me to tame all of your little friends are you?' jack

'no, only the ones i really like. like Lilith, or Lynda here' Johanna

"alright, I'll tame you" jack

"yay!" Lynda

'tame' jack

are you sure you want to attempt to tame Lynda the greater lamia? bonus from taming related skills= 15%

bonus from luck= 1.5% total chance of taming, including the emotions of the target= 100% chance of success. if you fail the target may turn hostile.

'yes' jack

congratulations! you have tamed the greater lamia Lynda!

Lynda reads what i assume to be the same message Lilith got earlier and her already massive blush spreads to the rest of her face and neck.

"lets see exactly how good you are in a fight." jack

"i love a good fight as much as the next person. so, where should our sparring match be?" Lynda.

"in the forest, meet at the gate in an hour."jack

"but wouldn't that put me at an advantage? i want to fight on as even ground as possible." Lynda

"no, i am also able to more fully able to use my abilities in that type of environment." jack

"sounds fun, i want to watch." Johanna

"fine by me." jack

i head off back to the big house to get an item back from the chief. after running for about 24 seconds i reach the house. when i open the door i see the old man in the entryway walking toward the door.

"oi, old man. i need my key back please." jack

"i was just heading out to give it to you." zain

he tosses me an old brass key, like the big old style ones. i quickly grab it and start running out.

"thanks" jack

"no problem" zain

when I'm outside i circle around to the back and find an old cellar door. i open the door and head down a small hallway, at the end of the hallway i find a large stone door. i put the key into the lock and turn, opening the stone door. inside i see several weapons on a couple weapons racks. there are a pair of chains, some gauntlets, pair of crossbows, pair of longsword and short swords as well as several other weapons. i place my daggers on their rack and grab the short

swords.

i head over to the front gate and wait for a certain lamia to get here, it's been awhile since I've had a good fight.
