The Witch Tamer, Book 1

by Naosu N R

  "H-healer," Shelly said more nervously.

  "Amplifier," Melanie said.

  (Amplifier? There's a class like that? Is that like a buffer? I hadn't even thought this was something that existed!)

  She blushed when saying it, and so did the others.

  "What? What's wrong with that?" I said.

  "N-nothing," Shelly said.

  Janey scowled.

  "Its just embarrassing to say it," Melanie said.

  "Why?"

  They didn't respond on that. Maybe it was sensitive... or was it just secret?

  "Well let's get started," Janey said.

  "Have you even leveled up yet?" Shelly asked me.

  "Does that matter?" I asked.

  "Not really. Especially if its a good magic job we wouldn't care," she replied.

  "To be honest not much yet. Others keep pestering me about joining them first. And I'm trying to figure this out the right way," I told them.

  "Don't worry. We won't push you too hard to do that yet," Shelly winked at me.

  Janey is giving me a stand off, almost like a 'join me or die look', but she's reasonably held back by the attitude of the others. Her words and expressions don't match up.

  "Considering your job its reasonable to feel that way. Don't worry, just try to work hard and don't fight it," Melanie told me.

  Its distracting seeing them all get ready for training topless however. Their breasts keep flopping all over too, especially Melanie's. They got out their training gear also.

  They are still trying to seduce me still.

  "Wait, you said that like you knew what my job was," I said to them.

  "Yeah, of course we do. Why do you think we want you on our side so bad? Everyone in the clan already knows you got the super rare enchanter job. That reason alone will make people throw women at you," Janey said.

  "You know...?" I said.

  "Yeah pretty much. And that you have potential to become some kind of dungeon crowd controller also is good," Shelly said.

  (So they didn't know I actually had mind control specifically...which is good. Not sure how they'd react to that.)

  It also seems like 'enchanter' to them, and the others is a job that can make magic items, and make tons of money. So this is partly why I've gotten 'too much' attention, because this looks like a way to get lots of money and wealth fast, by being with me. But that complicates things on my end, in terms of finding out who has good motives and is sincerely loyal.

  "Well let's get started. I'll help make sure you acquire the dungeon 'defend', 'parry', and 'block' skills. Then I'll help train you up," Janey told me firmly with a burning intense look in her eyes.

  "But those are cheap skills," I frowned.

  Janey frowned. "I'm not saying I won't teach you something else...but you have to start with a good foundation. I'm not cheating you. This is just what you have to do if you want to survive your first dungeons."

  "Right. That's true."

  It wasn't hard to lure them with what I want seeing as they all want me.

  It turns out enchanters have the potential to become really super rich. And this is something the clan would need to go forward also. This with everything else is making them bend to me.

  And it seems also that Sue's family is a little desperate. Janey has a strong magic job; the dark knight class is well respected. But the other two aren't that strong. An amplifier is good but depends on their strength. And it also isn't something that can work without help on its own, putting them at a huge disadvantage. Shelly's job is good also, and complements the other two; but healers aren't leaders.

  Crowd control mage is known to be party leader at times. So this and the enchanter job class was making them practically jump me literally.

  Before the end of the knight I'd acquired the three skills they showed me.

  Shelly also taught me a low level basic stun. But at this level its so weak that it might last only two or three seconds; not enough to survive anything really strong.

  ...

  [Defend] skill acquired!

  [Block] skill acquired!

  [Parry] skill acquired!

  [(Weak) Stun] skill acquired!

  Chapter 7

  The night passed.

  I didn't actually sleep with the three sisters.

  Its not that I wasn't tempted. But if they want me for power and their own means, to take over the world, or do crazy stuff, then it becomes sort of hard to figure out what to do.

  If I went along with it, how many would die because of it?

  But they all still want me to be their boyfriend. And they are really high class good looking women. Their mother had also set me in a separate room, but not to save my chastity. Instead it was, so they wouldn't fight over me with each other and keep her awake, as she didn't want to be up all night settling fights.

  I find this confusing however.

  There's the desire to recruit me. And this isn't me for me, but wanting me for benefits and stats. So its more like they want me not necessarily as an equal, which would be frustrating. Particularly it looks like I'd have issues with being treated equally with Janey.

  And maybe a little bit Shelly too, by the way she sounds.

  Can such a thing work? Would it produce real loyalty?

  What if I end up with someone with no loyalty and just expectations?

  How do I decide?

  I slept in the comfortable bed of the guest room, which was at the end of the long hall of their huge house.

  The problem is that its not love, but they want wealth and status. And probably lots of sex too, but with no loyalty and love that could be hurtful. So its a problem.

  I'm not even sure if they want love, or even if anything is important to them other than power and magic.

  Complicated...very complicated.

  I can't believe I made it through that much temptation.

  At least I slept well.

  The house is nice. And so is the atmosphere. But there's a certain tightness feeling, with clearly my aunt being in charge. The others don't mention this, but it can be felt.

  Were the two houses made by the same builder, I wondered? They have similar architectural style. But given both families are in the clan, that's also possible.

  I brushed my teeth and went through my routine in the morning with a hot shower and enjoying the luxurious bathroom. Then I went to the kitchen.

  While at the breakfast table, the phone rang while we're all having breakfast together. Sue answered. And again like before Sue's beautiful daughters are all trying extra hard to get by being almost totally naked again, showing off beautiful bodies again.

  "Yeah, he's here. Do you want to talk to him?" Sue asked. She glanced at me and then I can see she's talking on the phone with somebody. So I have an idea that its probably my parents. "No, we didn't harm him. Don't worry," she added.

  Then something was said that I couldn't hear, to which Sue kept saying. "Don't worry," several times over. I wonder who she's talking to?

  Then she hung up, probably after seeing me.

  Sue breathed a sigh. "Your parents want us to bring you home. They are worried about if you stay too long." I noticed she smirked after that.

  "Wait, I'll take him home!" Melanie said.

  "No fair. I have a dungeon leveling group, I have to meet with," Shelly groaned. She looks upset.

  Dungeon group?

  Maybe I should ask about that later. I'll need one of those soon.

  I need to find out about those, but at a pace I can do.

  I'd heard of dungeon groups and leveling up. Its not new to me, I'd heard it quite a bit even on the sly, when I wasn't supposed to be listening. But the world of murim, almost seems like a video game to people. And getting used to the idea that leveling up is real takes time for people to adjust to.

  "Actually, so do I. My team wants me to meet them at the dungeon there fast. I'm already running a bit late," Janey said. She looks like she's about ready to grind her
teeth and an axe into someone. (Why is she so scary?)

  Janey forced a hug with me. "Come see us again soon. Also please think about helping us."

  "Bye, Jay. Come see me soon, OK?" Shelly gave me a big kiss on the lips, but then her mom yelled at her for using tongue when she was going to be late for work. She still winked at me.

  "Dungeon healers can't be late! The family rep will be hurt if you screw up," Sue yelled.

  But she didn't mind me kissing her? Wow.

  "I'll take him home, don't worry mom," Melanie said.

  Damn Melanie's boobs are so big. Having her take me home is a bit cool actually.

  "Make sure you wear a shirt outside the house honey. The locals wouldn't understand, and it'd be scandalous," Sue told her.

  "I know mom. Jeez," Melanie said. "I'm not twelve."

  "Really? You don't say," her mother said playfully.

  "Come on Jay. I'll show you my room," she chuckled.

  I followed her up the stairs into her room.

  "You're sure this is..."

  "Yeah its, OK. Mom wants me to be with you anyway. She's the one that told us you were an enchanter. She wants this more than anyone. If you aren't careful...well uh anyway my room is right up here," Melanie said.

  Wait, how much do they know about me? And I didn't tell people I was an enchanter, so how is the word out on that already?

  Word travels fast.

  Is that why I'm getting so much temptation?

  "What to wear...hm..." Melanie stripped everything off, clearly trying to get me to look at her while looking at a mirror in front of me. She's posing in front of the mirror easily with no clothes, as if I'm not there.

  But then she winked at me, turning to face me. Some of her assets hang a bit heavy in front up top.

  I was feeling pretty curious then. I have a few skills that I haven't had a chance to use yet.

  While Melanie is trying on clothes I couldn't help but want to try a few of my skills, while she's taking her time.

  I didn't have a chance with the others before. Sue is too guarded and would notice. And when the others were there, none of them were alone.

  I carefully activated the [Charm skill] on Melanie while she's looking in the mirror.

  (-10 mana)

  Now is as good a time as any!

  My reasoning is she already is throwing herself at me anyway. So why not just remove any deception in that.

  Hmm...

  She looked around briefly. "Did you hear something just now?"

  "Huh? Like what?"

  "Not sure. Maybe it was my imagination," I said. She stopped what she was doing, looked a bit vacant, and then looked around.

  "Does this hat look weird?" she said standing there wearing, nothing but the hat.

  "That hat is gross. Its an old lady hat," I told her honestly.

  "What? But I like it. You can't make me change my mind," she said.

  Huh? Did the charm skill not work?

  I frowned.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Uh...nothing."

  "That hat's that bad huh?" she twisted around.

  Actually, I'm not sure if it worked or didn't work. The system didn't say anything on my status screen, I think? Maybe its because I'm new with it? How do I be sure it worked or didn't?

  "What about this other hat?" she asked.

  It was a men's hat actually. But someone like her wearing it was kind of hot, especially with her bust line.

  "Hm...turn around and let's see you with it posing," I said.

  She turned away.

  I hit the [Seduce] skill on her. There was a minor jolt, like a recoil. But in me not her. Then her expression changed to something resembling lusty.

  Shit, that didn't feel good. I guess if its the first time using it, maybe it might be buggy at first.

  Huh? Did it fail?

  I think it failed.

  Uh oh.

  I might need to think of a cover story excuse.

  Wait, no...she's staring at me with a weird expression that isn't pissed off. (And not covering up also, not that she ever did. But this time she's even more aggressive somehow in her demeanor.)

  "OK, let's see. Mom wants me to wear clothes. She's so unreasonable don't you think? She should just let us figure this out on our own," Madeline winked at me while leaning over to get in her dresser.

  She's paying a lot of attention to me, I realized.

  The skill did work!

  Wow. No way!

  In front of me her 'cookie' briefly was on display as she bent over with her legs apart to bend over low. She was very obviously showing it to me! And she also groaned suddenly while staring at me, hunching over to avoid falling over. She gasped for breathe and then looked up not taking her eyes off me.

  I couldn't resist and hit the seduce skill again.

  "OOHHH! Wow, I almost fell," Madeline groaned and then managed to recover from falling over. But she did bump her head.

  Did that fail? How do I know if it worked or didn't work?

  "Oh crap. Are you OK?" I rushed over to help her up.

  "Yeah, I guess I tripped. I'll be OK," she said. "Have a seat on the bed while you wait."

  She seems unaware of what I did, despite staring so hard and longingly.

  I hit charm again when she was turned.

  Then she turned towards me blanked out.

  "Ohhh, Jay. I..." Melanie froze.

  Then she started masturbating. She had one hand on her nipples and then one hand in her slit, massaging it.

  "H-help me Jay! I..." suddenly she's charging me and ripping my clothes off.

  She briefly stopped for a few seconds to use a pill form of contraceptive. By the time I saw that, I knew she's too far gone to stop and too hot wired.

  (OK, now I know what the seduce skill does. It very clearly makes someone experience being in heat and wanting to mate. It was actually my mistake in that I thought it would 'make her an ally', but its a bit more than that. Oops!)

  Sue had left for work by 8 AM.

  But I was in Melanie's bedroom until 1:31 PM partaking of Melanie declaring her love for me...and its 'fruit'.

  I learned a few things...

  The seduce skill used while already in sex has much higher efficiency and bonuses. I still can't read them. But the reactions from Melanie are fairly obvious.

  The skill worked...too well, we'll say.

  TOO WELL.

  Melanie won't even let me go hardly and is totally obsessed. She's touching me constantly also. And this is definitely not faked or just 'recruiting a soldier' like they were seemingly trying to do earlier. I'm afraid of what would happen to her if I rejected her. And this skill doesn't appear to wear off.

  She continues to act possessed while trying to grind herself onto my... 'cough'.

  This is very real!

  I wonder if this is the true intent for mind control skills, not to capture someone but if someone is trying to capture you, make it so its real and not deceiving you?

  Melanie and her sisters had been trying to capture me before.

  But now the charm and seduce skills together made it so she's fallen so hard for me that I'm afraid to leave her alone.

  "Capture me Jay," she cried at one point while we had been making love. She sounds serious.

  ...

  "Well we better get going. My parents have left me 7 texts to come home," I frowned glancing at my cell some time later and after a nap together.

  "OK sure," Melanie said, drained and acting somewhat tired out. She's acting like her legs are jelly.

  Both of us got up and started to get dressed, for real this time. Melanie had to briefly fix her hair, as it looked bed tossed.

  We both began walking down to the car after that.

  But she stopped at a storage closet near the garage, pulling out a suitcase.

  "Wh-what's that for?" I asked.

  "Isn't it obvious?" she chuckled.

  "What?"

  "I'm coming to liv
e with you now. I l-l-l-love you. You are my reason for being honey," She said hungrily then she dropped the suitcase and tried to initiate sex again with me.
