The Bored Immortal-Chapter 32: Phantasm Eyes

Viktor chuckled, "It's not something that could be explained through science, and it's as baffling as to how I am still young. But in layman's terms, you could take it that I am good at hypnosis or basically enchant people. I can either use my eyes or my voice to influence other people's minds. But how much influence I can exert on their mind's usually varies from person to person or sometimes might take more effort from my side based on a lot of factors, like if the idea I want to plant inside their minds varies too much from their beliefs or not."

"But for fun, I nicknamed this ability as Phantasm Eyes since I am basically putting a phantasm of my ideas in others' minds and because I mainly use my eyes to do this."

Umilia's lips parted in awe, "Amazing...Master is so extraordinary. These things are not something a human—"

"I know I am not human—just a monster in human's clothing. If the world really came to know about me, the first thing they will feel is fear," Viktor said with a wry smile, though inwardly he only said such a sentimental line to garner some brownie points and also because that was what he believed as well which was the main reason why he wanted to remain low-key.

Umilia became flustered and said anxiously, "No! I didn't mean to...I mean, I don't see you as a monster. Umm...to be honest, other than being excited, I was at first nervous and scared when Madam told me that I was going to be assigned to you. But when I met you and talked with you, I realized I was the luckiest woman in the world to at least work for you. To me, Master is not human or a monster, but Viktor...my Master."

Viktor's lips arched into a smile slowly as he was a bit surprised by her words and began to look at her in a new light.

He didn't expect her to be this serious, but he liked it and grabbed her arm as he pulled her closer.

"Ah!"

"So am I...a beautiful maid like you should only be for me…" Viktor usually doesn't feel possessive about the women he was interested in sleeping with.

For instance, he recently had a fling with Mary but left when he had his share of fun, and he also makes sure the women don't get any wrong ideas since he does not want them to cling on to him when he has no true feelings for them.

But even if he didn't sleep with Umilia, he was beginning to like this woman more and more, though not to the point of feeling love but something else which he wanted to explore further.

He had lived for so long that the concept of love was nothing but a fleeting concept for him, which he could not truly enjoy but only brought him pain in the end.

Because of this, he had grown quite numb to having feelings for another woman and always enjoyed the present only.

Umilia curled up her arms in his embrace as she said in a soft voice, "Of course...Master."

She then asked, "Master...before you told me that you had the ability to hypnotize people. So...with me…"

"You want to ask if I hypnotized you into kissing me?" Viktor asked with raised brows.

"No...I mean…" Umilia regretted asking that question since she felt that she might have hurt Viktor's feelings.

Though in reality, Viktor didn't mind it and could understand why she wanted to ask it.

Umilia wanted to know if her fondness for Viktor was her own or if…

"Do you regret kissing me?" Viktor asked straightforwardly.

"Of course, no," Umilia replied with a confident headshake.

"Then that was all you. If I hypnotized you and you didn't want to kiss me, then you would feel regret by now, wondering why you did it because it conflicted with your true wishes. If you didn't, then you only did what your heart wanted to."

Umilia felt relieved hearing his words since she wanted to believe that whatever raunchy things she did before were her doing.

But the only reason she asked was that she was usually a reserved woman who never even dreamed that one day she would be doing indecent things with a man like Viktor.

However, before Viktor, it was as if her heart was laid bare open, and she wanted to do whatever things she wanted to do. Even when she had never performed such obscene acts before, for some reason, she felt it natural doing them with Viktor.

"But you know my voice can be magically charming for only women like you. So that's something out of my hand," Viktor said with a dashing smile.

Umilia couldn't help but smile, seeing how cheeky he was being, and at the same time realized that she liked that part of him.

Viktor slowly got up with her in his embrace as he said, "Alright. Let's have a master-maid time later. Otherwise, I might keep hugging you here for the entire day, hehe."

Umilia had an abashed expression as she came out of his embrace and gave him the clothes he had to wear.

Viktor quickly put on the t-shirt and casual wear pants Umilia had prepared and felt that the clothes youngsters wear these days were quite minimal and simpler.

He then put on his spectacles and slightly bent his posture to look shorter than his original height, and modified his facial expression to look innocently unsophisticated before finally taking a look at himself in the mirror.

In the mirror, he saw a young man looking barely twenty but saw Umilia's eyes going wide as she looked at his reflection.

She couldn't believe that the man with mesmerizing looks with a mature charm now looked like a simple-minded college boy with boring spectacles and hairstyle.

Umilia had already applied gel on his hair to make his hair look shorter and boring without any unique style.

But the gel also made his hair flattened to the point that his hair looked like they were stuck glued together and stuck to his head.

If there were an award for the most boring hairstyle, Viktor's current hairstyle would have won first place.

Umilia winced inwardly, seeing that she had made his beautiful lush black hair look as if a cow licked his head.

However, she knew this was the only way to make him look...boring and naive. But she noticed that he had a cute charm because of his expression and style that could make one feel pity for him and shield him from any harm.

If she didn't know any better, she would have never believed that the man she was looking at now was the same man who was sensually kissing her before, especially when Viktor now looked like a boy who found it hard to mingle with girls or let alone know about adult stuff despite his age.

"It's unbelievable...Master looks so different...even I find it hard to believe that you could look this...cute…" Umilia couldn't help but compare the previously hot and charming Viktor to the present innocent and cute-looking Viktor. The difference was like day and night.

However, Viktor slightly smiled, seeing his new look as he felt that this look was 'interesting' in a way.

'I wonder how many women will fall for this nerdy appearance, hehe,' A sly glint flashed across his eyes as he smiled.
