I’m Not Excited

“Hmm, this is good.”

I said, looking at the newly activated illusion.

Without the aid of divinity, and only with the magic circle utilizing Meiko’s advice, the efficiency of the magic circle had drastically increased.

The heat generation was overwhelmingly lower compared to the processing speed.

‘It’s not like the processing speed and efficiency have dropped either.’

The overall output had decreased somewhat, but that wasn’t a problem.

The fact that it was outputting so stably meant that I could add new spells and runic words in the future.

To put it simply, it was like the backpack I was carrying had not only become wider but also had a weight-reduction spell cast on it.

The previous backpack had limitations in size and capacity, so if I loaded it with more than a certain amount of luggage, the luggage would inevitably fall out.

What if I put luggage with a high mass-to-volume ratio inside to prevent that from happening?

Naturally, the backpack would become heavier, and it might become impossible to even lift it.

‘At worst, the backpack could tear.’

But now, not only had the weight and durability been improved so that it could hold more of the same weight, but the volume had also increased.

‘If I put in the same luggage as before, there will be space left over, and I can use that space in a new way.’

This meant that even without the aid of divinity, I could reduce mana consumption or increase the range of the illusion.

‘It means I can add more resource-intensive elements.’

Gurgle, gurgle.

Inside the room, I watched the aquarium where water was falling in real-time.

Six fish were swimming and gasping for air in the aquarium.

Besides that, I could now turn on the TV, which had previously been just a visual element that took up space.

-Hello. This is Good Morning News.

As soon as I turned on the TV, the voice of a dignified anchor followed.

When I opened the window, the sunlight shone on my body, and the wind blew.

I could hear the chirping of birds, as well as the small talk of people walking outside.

“Seriously, that head teacher is so annoying these days, you know?”

“Isn’t today the day for homework check?”

“Homework…did you finish it?”

“Ah, yes. Director, I’m on my way.”

I opened the window and looked at them.

Normally, at a viewing angle of over 100 meters, the other person should appear blurry.

But now, everything was clear no matter where I looked in the alley.

Even the lights shining from the car turning far away in the alley were clear.

It was a view of my hometown that I hadn’t seen in so long.

Of course, the building itself was based on Japanese AV, but all the roads and people visible through the window were a space created based on my memories, not Japan.

It meant that it was my hometown that I couldn’t return to.

The neighborhood where I lived before I was possessed here.

‘Good.’

My heart fluttered just by looking at it.

I took a deep breath, feeling something filling up inside me.

“So it can be done like this…”

I created this video for lust, desire, and fap material, but it was also possible to reminisce about my hometown that I couldn’t return to.

Of course, it was a sight that I could never show to others.

Just being able to see a space where I could reminisce about the past was enough.

‘This is more than enough.’

Each and every delicate element was a part that consumed mana and resources just by existing, so I couldn’t even dare to think about it.

Even if I added these elements, I could prevent mana consumption and sudden crashes.

‘If this happens, I can give it an even stronger sense of realism.’

If the details of the illusion are enhanced like this, the illusion I see in the future will feel several times more realistic.

‘Even those with sensitive senses and overwhelmingly superior vision than others will be able to be fooled.’

For example, elves, dwarves, or even avian beastmen with bright eyes could be fooled.

I was admiring the illusion when.

“Max, are you okay?”

Nanako, who was behind me, asked me.

She wiggled her hips and approached me.

Spreading a seductive smile and emitting a fragrant scent, she was soon stuck close to me, bringing her large breasts to my back.

Natural skinship.

Her soft breasts settled on my back like cotton candy, and Nanako’s breath, felt as she wrapped her arms around my shoulders, was hotter and more moist than ever.

It was the most real and dramatic sensation I had ever felt in any illusion so far.

If I concentrated and felt only this moment, I would think it was real.

‘No, this is real.’

It’s as good as real.

But why like this.

‘Why isn’t my heart beating?’

Originally, it should have been the best fap material that would make my heart race.

I recreated the best fap material with my best technology.

I definitely made it with clearer senses than ever before.

I not only twisted it to be like the real thing using the artificial senses I had experienced so far, but I also transmitted the senses I felt while receiving various guests through the enhanced magic circle, making it more real than the real thing.

But I didn’t feel that unique tremor that I felt when I first saw this video.

Of course, my heart was still beating, and my lower body was throbbing with this sensation, but it was different from that.

The fact that I didn’t feel the tremor was significant.

In order to get a deep impression, not just for momentary pleasure, that tremor had to be there.

‘Is it too real?’

No.

If it was too real that I didn’t feel the tremor, then my heart wouldn’t have fluttered when I first saw the scenery of the alley and remembered my hometown.

That wasn’t the problem.

Or has my affection for Nanako disappeared?

It was a porn video that I thought was my best fap material, and in a way, it was like my first love.

I wondered if my love for her had cooled.

Of course, this could also be a reason, but it wasn’t the fundamental cause.

I knew the answer.

‘It’s because I know this isn’t real.’

I already know that this video is fake, and as a result, it doesn’t have the realm of emotion that the real thing can have.

The scenery of my hometown wasn’t real either, but Nanako and other reasons?

It was because the scenery of my hometown was far away.

‘I don’t need to recognize that distant scenes and landscapes are fake.’

It becomes a problem when it comes close.

There is definitely a difference in how you feel when something is far away and close.

‘But Nanako is…’

“Max, why aren’t you saying anything? You seem very tired today.”

Because we are talking and touching each other.

It wasn’t enough to just give a feeling of being real.

For the guests, I breathed with them by their side and actually caressed their skin, alternating between reality and illusion, but this is 100 percent illusion, isn’t it?

There was a strange emptiness.

It’s like the post-nut clarity that comes after masturbating alone?

I suddenly realized that the videos of the guests had images of their imaginations reflected on my face to some extent.

‘So that’s why. My face was projected in the faces of other guests.’

Perhaps the guests’ unconsciousness wanted the same sensation as the real thing, so their unconsciousness seemed to have done some brainwashing.

On top of that.

‘This thing touching my back is the sensation of Yuris’s breasts, the sensation of the fingers wrapping around my body is Helen’s, and the subtle fragrance is Eileen’s.’

It was also because the sensations that Nanako in the illusion showed were all filled with my guests’ things.

As I felt it, there were times when I suddenly felt that this was not Nanako.

Because it’s too similar to Yuris.

Because it’s too similar to Helen.

Because it’s similar to Eileen.

My unconsciousness was judging Nanako as ‘fake’.

“This is troublesome.”

“Max, what do you mean?”

It was a problem that arose because it was made based on real experiences, and it was a problem that arose because it was made too real with virtual things without an actual model.

‘This part needs to be alleviated to some extent.’

Unless the senses are so sensitive that they can’t distinguish between real and illusion without this level of realism, it didn’t seem necessary to raise it this far.

For example, elves, dragons, or dwarves who have transcended human senses.

Thinking so, I shook off Nanako’s hand that was holding my body.

“Max, what’s wrong? You’re being rough today.”

“I’ll stop here today.”

“Huh? What do you…”

I cut off the video of Nanako, who was flustered.

Then the illusion ended and I returned to reality.

It was a store that smelled familiar.

I looked at the magic circle that was gradually losing its light and sighed.

“I still have a long way to go before I can use perfect illusion magic.”

I thought I had become close to perfection by supplementing the weaknesses, but a problem erupted in an unexpected place.

A problem that arises because it is too real in the absence of a model that can replace the target.

It was a problem I had never experienced before, so it was something that would make me rack my brains for quite a while.

“Still, I should be satisfied that I can make the realism even more vivid.”

There would be no problem if I controlled the level and density while controlling it myself.

Anyway, it was true that the magic circle that I repaired this time had become a more advanced version.

“How to use a good tool depends on the user’s ability.”

I stopped the operation of the magic circle and took a shower to wash away the sweat I had shed from operating the magic circle.

Swish.

After washing my body once with hot water, I felt like the worries I had felt were gone.

“Still, I feel a little better after washing.”

I was about to let out a sigh of relief when.

Knock knock knock.

I heard someone knocking on the door.

“Hmm? A guest at this hour?”

It’s a little late for a guest to come?

I had covered all the windows, so I didn’t know how dark it was outside, but it was definitely past 8 o’clock in terms of time.

It’s not time for a guest to come.

“Did the postman come or something?”

I quickly covered my lower body with a gown and tilted my head, opening the door.

Then there.

“Ah, nice to meet you. I just stopped by on my way. Well, I was originally going to visit today, but something came up urgently.”

There was Yuris, the goddess of victory.

“So that’s why you came at this hour?”

“It’s not that…”

She said awkwardly, then her eyes widened when she saw me in my gown.

“Oh, oh?”

Her face turned bright red when she saw my bare upper body because I wasn’t wearing a top, and she stuttered without saying anything.

“U, e, eee?”

“What’s wrong?”

“W, why are you taking off all your clothes…”

“I was taking a shower. It’s late. I should get ready to wash and sleep.”

Because if I start reading the analysis data on illusion magic and magic circles from now on, it will be well past 11 pm.

So I showered a little early, but I never imagined I’d have a visitor at this hour.

Especially not Yuris.

It was then.

“How dare a lowly species dress so indecently! You crazy pervert!”

I heard an unfamiliar voice and looked to my side to see a beautiful platinum-blonde woman standing next to Yuris.

With her pointed ears, she couldn’t be a normal human…

“…An elf?”

The elf glared at me, as if she were about to cast a spell any second.

“Calm down, Reina. You clearly said you wanted to come with me quietly and see the human world, didn’t you?”

“Well, yes, but…”

She shut her mouth, unable to move at Yuris’s words.

What is going on here?
