There was a novel called “Surviving in the Academy as a Hypnosis Assistant.”

Abbreviated as ‘SAA.’

It was the original novel of an R-18 nurturing RPG + romance web game that boasted being the world’s first.

However, the novel I enjoyed reading unfortunately came to an end.

“Author, fighting!”

“Hold your breath until it’s over!”

“They’re coming tomorrow…?”

“Are they really opening tomorrow!?”

“I’ll come again!!”

Annoyingly, I tried leaving messages while browsing for updates, but there was no response; the author seemed to have disappeared.

*

Years passed since then, and the boy who enjoyed reading web novels as a hobby.

Before he knew it, both his body and mind had grown up.

He learned that a love breakup is also a blessing.

‘Goodbye. Author. I truly enjoyed this novel and game…’

“R.I.P – Press recommend on this novel to show JOY.”

One day, exhausted by poignant disappointment, a message popped up.

=====================

Congratulations.

You have unlocked the ‘True Hidden Ending.’

=====================

‘True Hidden Ending’?!

Perplexed.

I already knew all the official difficulty levels and strategies.

But what is this?

Even I, who could boast of being one of Korea’s top-ranked players in ‘SAA,’ had never seen this ending before.

There was another button in the shape of a bell.

The notification window displayed a message different from usual.

“A message has arrived from the author.”

Upon pressing the button, I could actually receive a direct reply from the author.

“Hello, reader.”

“Could it be Seorin1004, the author?! Are you really Seorin1004?”

“Yes, hello! You left the most comments on my writing until the very end. Thank you so much for staying with me.”

Receiving such recognition from the author I admired, I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders.

“It’s nothing special. Haha, I’m glad it helped. Are you coming back now?”

“…I’ve become a body that can’t return.”

“What?! Then, how… Is there any way I can help? Please tell me!”

After a moment of silence, Seorin1004 continued.

“I’m sorry, but would you consider continuing my novel until its completion? I’ll transfer all the rights to you.”

“Me?”

“Just now. Did you say ‘me’? Thank you!! You will truly be my savior!”

And so, one day, I suddenly became the protagonist, reader, and owner of the novel.

“And please, become the savior of the world…”

As I opened my eyes.

Through the window on the sloped roof, sunlight streamed into the attic room.

A place I had seen thousands of times by turning the pages.

“Wait, did I really get possessed in a game?!”

On the ‘smartphone’ screen that caught my eye.

There was an account logged in under Seorin1004’s name and the comment section of the [Novel World] app.

“Open the door!”

When I said it, the door to the other world actually opened.

“Author! Please come back alive!”

Well, can I really come back alive?

Desperate to reply to the readers, I clicked on the comments.

But all I got was a repeated message saying, “[Insufficient influence to connect to the second dimension. Connection temporarily severed].”

“I can’t even go back to the comments section or access the internet…?”

Can I only read ‘SAA’ here and read comments?

I don’t know what influence is, but I need to acquire it quickly.

Approaching the attic window, outside, wooden buildings resembling a medieval European countryside village came into view. However, in the distance, towering skyscrapers of a modern city pierced the sky, illuminated by the glow of the sunset, adding a mysterious atmosphere.

“A world where fairy-tale-like medieval villages and modern buildings coexist…?”

It was a sight mentioned in “Academy Hypnosis Assistant.” However, in the night sky, three large red, blue, and ash-colored moons were gradually rising, indicating the extreme difficulty level of the current ‘Choi Asal,’ hinting at the “Hell Knight” mode.

“Hehehe! It doesn’t matter. Because here, it’s the world of the game I know best.”

Pressing a button on the smartphone, a brief information page appeared:

[????] Ability Information

○ Attack: Ordinary Academy Student(★)

○ Health Points: 100 / 100

○ Mana: 10 / 10

○ Mana Regeneration Speed: 0.1%

○ Stat Points: ✙ 5

○ Invariable Abilities: [Internal Energy Lv.1], [Mental Lv.1], [Art Lv.1], [Life Lv.1], [Appearance Lv.10], [Luck Lv.1]

[ Skill Information]

[ Status Information]

Glancing at the screen, I quickly assessed the situation.

“This guy must be obsessed with appearance rather than skills like a parasite or something.”

Somehow, I felt like I knew the author’s taste. A man who only emphasizes his appearance…

Could this person possibly not be a woman…?

If possible, I hoped for a pretty maiden with a lovely smile.

Thinking to myself, even though I’m a ‘man,’ I’d want to answer ‘yes’ to being ‘possible’ if asked, just by looking at my smartphone screen.

He was boasting an outrageously beautiful flower-boy-like appearance.

However, there was also a hypnosis app.

What’s the use of having a high appearance stat only?

Even if your appearance is not great, with just this app, you could charm all the pretty girls in this world.

So, appearance stats are there, but mana is key.

Regardless of how I look, everyone will offer me extreme loyalty.

And…

Invariable stats like appearance or luck can only be adjusted within this attic.

I made up my mind to readjust my stats.

[Appearance Lv.10 -> Appearance Lv. 1]

[Obtain 9 invariable stat points.]

And I reinvested all of them in luck.

‘Now that’s more like it.’

Come to think of it, I was quite curious about what my affinity window looked like.

[????] Affinity Information

○ Relationship: Self

○ Age: Adult (Being an adult allows admission to the academy.)

○ Affection: ♥♡♡♡♡ (1/100)

○ Submissiveness: ♥♥♥♥♥ (100/100)

○ Libido: ♡♡♡♡♡ (-100/100)

○ Climax Count: 1,640

○ Masturbation Count: 1,640

○ Times Impregnated: 0

‘Masturbation count… What on earth…?’

Anyway, alone under the bright moonlit night, I muttered, “Damn company…”

“A professional gamer…”

“And the third job… a writer?!”

After resigning and becoming a professional gaming BJ, I gained considerable popularity.

Every time I posted various adult game strategies, users enthusiastically cheered.

To the extent of reaching the real-time best of Korea’s largest community.

However, my account was famous for being free-to-play.

Despite not reinvesting any broadcasting profits into microtransactions, somehow.

The Korean webnovel’s strongest account in this popular game enjoyed by tens of millions worldwide!

It had reached the 10th rank globally.

So.

I was obsessed with mastering this game.

* * *

The next morning.

After a quick meal, avoiding premature contact with my family as much as possible even in the morning,

I decided to wake up early and explore various parts of the village.

Because at that moment, there were only two people I could immediately register with the hypnosis app. I had to choose these two targets very carefully.

“The hypnosis app has three rules.”

■ 1. You can only use the app on those lower or equal in status to yourself.

■ 2. Registration targets can be added or removed once a day.

■ 3. Hypnosis is possible as soon as emotional contact is established.

If successful in applying hypnosis, you could replicate one of the opponent’s skills within the cooldown time. Additionally, you could read the opponent’s inner thoughts and more.

There were several convenient advantages.

Furthermore, the target designated by the hypnosis app could quickly increase their favorability each time they performed a mission.

As the favorability of more characters in the “Hypnosis Catalog” increased, experience points would accumulate in the “Hypnosis App.”

As the level of the “Hypnosis App” grew, it gained more powerful functions.

For example, by eliminating condition 2,

it allowed for a feature that enabled the use of hypnosis ability just by making eye contact with the other person.

The current location where I was situated was the village of Lysteri in the Stein Viscounty.

Depending on the first target registered in this place, the standard of living within the academy would vary significantly.

“Hmm, who should I target first? It would be great to target the best young lady in this village if possible.”

*

After wandering around various places in the village, I belatedly considered turning on the camera app to check my face.

“When I try to make an ugly expression, it looks similar to this…?”

When I tried my best to smile to make a good impression, a face similar to my previous life appeared.

Was it because I intentionally lowered the unchangeable stat [Appearance] as much as possible?

“What am I doing? Such a fool!”

As the sweet scent of spring breeze gently wafted by,

A young girl appeared before me, teasing me with a mischievous smile.

“Hello…? But why are you using informal speech with someone you just met?”

“It’s natural for a cute girl like me to use informal speech, isn’t it? You fool!”

My temperature rose slightly.

However, her mysteriously enchanting red hair somehow captivated me, making me endure.

She definitely seemed like a high-grade character.

Could it be! A red-haired Meskaki young lady…? Is she perhaps Arisha von Stein?!

With a striking presence and eyes shining like the sun.

Without a doubt, she was a charming young girl whom I wanted to recruit as my bodyguard and carry around.

But she frowned and pointed at my phone.

“What are you holding? A phone? That thing.”

The red-haired young lady in front of me approached with a curious expression.

And then.

I touched the top-tier bound item she was pointing at, the ‘Hypnosis App (★★★★★★★★).’

Because she was the 5-star character (★★★★★) I had been searching for.

Before entering the academy, I must definitely make her my assistant.

▼Calling out the protagonist in a quiet residential area, the young lady ‘Arisha von Stein’…!!

※All characters in this novel are adults. Feel free to wear casual clothes that suit your preferences for conquering the academy.
