"For ages 19+ only???"
"What kind of hypnosis app has an age limit?! Hilarious!"
It was a hassle, but I verified my age with my phone number and entered my address. The grayed-out install button finally turned red and lit up. I almost hit Install but decided to check the reviews first.
➢ "Wow! This is insane! In just 30 seconds, my stomach flipped, and my eyesight got blurry. You all have to try it!"
➢ "Thanks to this, I looked weak and got picked on a lot, but now I've hypnotized my way to ruling the school!"
➢ "I thought it wouldn't work, but I used it on the bully who tormented me every day. Now he's my personal toilet!"
➢ "Managed to hypnotize my friend and go wild with him, thanks to this!"
➢ "The girl who bragged about her taekwondo black belt? I hypnotized her arms and legs and messed with her however I wanted to teach her a lesson!"
LOL, what the heck! These reviews are totally ridiculous.
"Of course they are!"
But then… I checked the size… 550 MB?!
"What kind of hypnosis app is bigger than the Baemin delivery app???"
I wasn't expecting much, but… it's like something pulled me in, and I pressed Install.
…10%… 37%… 69%… 83%… 92%… 100%
It took a while because of the size.
When the "Installation Complete" message popped up, a weird eyeball-shaped app icon actually appeared on my home screen.
The design was so tacky it hurt to look at!
"Ugh, I'm such a loser!"
But as I stared at it, I started feeling dizzy again.
I pressed and held the app. A Start button appeared in the middle, with Settings on the left and Exit on the right.
I tapped Start, and just like every generic hypnosis app, a swirling spiral spun around, growing bigger then smaller.
The more I watched, the dizzier I got.
Yesterday was the same, and today I've been feeling off all day.
"Hypnosis, my foot!"
I hit the Back button and went to Settings. Up in the top right, I saw a menu option.
{Target}
[Animal]⇆[Human]
{Level Settings}
[Low]⇆[Mid]⇆[High]
"What kind of hypnosis app lets you pick a target?"
I tapped Level Settings, and a bar popped up to adjust it by percentage.
Next, I hit How to Use.
[You can enter a prompt directly to request the AI to activate it.]
[You can choose options based on the target.]
[Entering more user info makes it work better.]
More user info?
I tapped the bottom section.
They're asking for everything! So annoying!
But, well… it's kind of fun.
"Size? Shoe size? Waist size?"
"No way they mean that size, right?"
Whatever! I'll go with waist size—34!
After filling it all in, I hit Done.
The screen turned blue, and tiny text with random options appeared. It was so small I couldn't read it.
I took a screenshot and zoomed in.
[Effects may not work.]
"Obviously! Even they know it!"
[You're fully responsible for the results of using this hypnosis app.]
"Wow, so serious!"
[Use various tools to maximize hypnosis strength.]
"Various tools?"
[Misusing hypnosis can harm your health.]
"These developers must be from another planet!"
Wait—could that flirty woman from yesterday be connected to the developers?
I went back to the Level menu.
@ Provides the target's status window.
Only for experienced users with personal info entered.
It's split into a bunch of levels.
"Why is this silly app so detailed?!"
After poking around for a bit, my phone started heating up fast. The 500+ MB size suddenly made sense.
I clicked the hypnosis icon and stared at the spiral again.
Focusing on it made my head spin, like I was being sucked in.
"What if I actually get hypnotized? Haha!"
"No way this dumb app could do that, right?"
But the longer I looked, the more nervous I got.
"If I really get hypnotized, who's going to wake me up? How do I snap out of it?"
Then I noticed an Activation Status Alert button at the top.
What's this?
The tiny text explained it, but I couldn't see it clearly. I screenshotted it and zoomed in again.
An auto-notification will be sent when a suitable hypnosis target is found. Would you like to get alerts?
"A suitable target?"
"It can even do that?"
Curiosity took over—yes, absolutely!
[Enter the target's personal info and image to manage them semi-permanently!]
"Manage a target semi-permanently? Oh, this must tie into the
"But how do they 'manage' them?"
"Alright, I'll ask the AI!"
Typing felt like a chore, so I held the phone to my mouth, glancing around the subway, and whispered, "What does 'high level' hypnosis mean?"
☞ [The hypnotist can put the target under hypnosis however they want. Just playing a sound or showing an image from the app can hypnotize them in seconds.]
Whoa! Just a sound or image can do it that fast?!
"Does it work on everyone?"
☞ [Sometimes, it might not work depending on the target or situation.]
"Oh, so it can fail!"
Still, if it actually works like that…
"What's the 'status window' in the
☞ [You can see the hypnosis target's Sex Info status window.]
"Sex Info status window?! LOL, like something from a web novel? Hahaha! Wait, is this for real?!"
I got off the subway and headed home.
We're a simple family of four—Mom, Dad, my older sister, and me—living in a downtown apartment.
Dad works out of town during the week and only comes home on weekends. He and Mom are what people call a "weekend couple." It's been so long since I've seen them together that I can barely picture it.
I punched in the code, opened the door, and stepped inside.
Mom must've heard me because she came bustling into the living room.
She's got great style. I couldn't tell if she hadn't changed after work or had just been to the store. She wore a gray draped T-shirt with wrinkles gathered below her neck, making her full chest look even heavier, and a tight leopard-print skirt with black dots hugging her hips.
As always, she oozed class.
"You look tired, sweetie. Are you eating dinner properly?"
She smiled at me softly, her dimples popping. Even without makeup after work, her skin glowed. Her sharp features—big eyes, high nose—gave her a Western vibe, and her perfect eight-head-to-body ratio was a work of art.
A natural beauty—makeup or no makeup, it didn't matter!
"Of course! We take turns eating at the cafeteria with the other part-timers, so don't worry about meals."
I showered quickly and went to my room, booting up my computer.
Slumping into my chair, I stared at the big monitor.
"Oh, right—that hypnosis app!"
I tried to ignore it, but it kept nagging at me.
I grabbed my phone and opened the app.
The spiral started spinning in circles.
I tapped Intermediate from the menu.
The spiral vanished, and a blue sky background appeared with ladders popping up. They alternated left and right, climbing up toward the sky in a loop.
I knew it was nonsense, but I focused on it for a bit—
Click! The door swung open, and Mom walked in.
"I got some plums from the store today. Try one—they're super sweet!"
Mom's always kind and gentle.
She works hard at an insurance company, too.
Dad—whose face is just "okay" (his words)—always hated Mom going out and about. Then earn more money yourself! How that short, old-fashioned guy managed to snag a beauty like Mom and marry her—I'm jealous, even if he's my dad!
And that's not all! In her early 20s, peak youth, he had wild sex with her and made me and my sister!
