In a dimly lit room, many bodies lay limp all over, a fishy-salty smell pervaded the air as the loud echo of flesh slapping could be heard within the darkness-

*plap* *plap* *plap* *plap*

Richard was busy fucking a few more witches in this room that had been modified to be larger than it actually is.

Of course, the one who set up the spell was Richard who was testing a weaker version of Merlin’s spell that created a second London.

Through that spell, the small micro apartment had been transformed into a ballroom sized hall. Inside, the female mystics of the Tenement group were scattered about.

Some were catching their breath while others were still out cold.

But despite their different states, they all had one thing in common-

Thick white liquid was oozing from their privates, their skin was stained with marks of dried up cum and some of them had their hairs harden and get tangled up after semen was left to dry on their hair.

Coming into the large space, anyone who entered would be hit with the humid air of sweat and lust. It was an air that was familiar to those who were in Richard’s group but many of the local mystics had never experienced such a thing before.

Though they were familiar with the damp and humid air of sweat, the smell and air of sex was something that few would actually experience.

Moreover, unlike what many would assume, these witches from less fortunate backgrounds were the type of women to care more about chastity.

It was a weird situation, while many would believe that poverty leads to rampant sexual activity. Most of the numbers that inflate such claims come from families in poverty.

While there are women who end up in the sex and escort industry, due to that industry being heavily biased towards beauty, many of those from less fortunate backgrounds end up straying away from such businesses.

It was a simple question of ROI, since they didn’t look all that appealing, their "price" would also be low.

In a country that is dominated by a very traditional culture, if the price of losing ones chastity and shaming one’s own blood was low, then why would they enter such an industry?

Because of this, most end up marrying early instead, getting children and hoping their kids could bring them out of poverty.

While it sounds crazy, since they were going to be working in low income jobs for the rest of their lives anyway, then all they could do was hope that their kids end up with a better fate than them.

Moreover, with the education system giving actual free education up till tertiary education, it was easy to just stake all your hopes on your kids rather than try to succeed in a world that already gave up on you.

But that was the story for regular people.

Mystics had a second option and in this world, the care for chastity has gone through the roof.

Mystical methods of improving one’s beauty was not cheap but it was more effective compared to the non-mystic methods.

Many of the female mystics, especially those from poorer backgrounds end up saving themselves for the "Rich and powerful lover".

Since they were tasked with maintaining the nation wide hypnosis, they had many opportunities to get in touch with rich and powerful people.

Combine that with their advantage in terms of beauty and this led to many of the female mystics valuing their chastity and beauty.

Richard learned this from the female mystics who he had taken in already.

Serenity seems to be unaware of this situation though as she also showed a look of shock and disbelief at the information.

But Richard could easily understand why this was going on.

The Philippines being highly traditional is also inherently patriarchal in its many social bodies.

While there is a small push to change it with the feminism movement, in a country that had been protected and is actively protecting its culture for centuries- to let go or change that very culture they protected was a hard pill to swallow.

Of course, there were also those people who didn’t want to let go of power and some who really looked down on women but most of the country seemed to be more concerned at the amount of effort that has to be placed on changing or even just altering their culture.

But that is exactly what allowed Richard to easily subdue half of the mystics under the Tenement Group without the need to kill them.

The men... while Richard was willing to let them go, after all, the curse could be inflicted without the need for intercourse, it was still difficult to take them in since they had no use.

It would have been easy if he could just do the same procedure he did to Samantha’s people but the problem lies in the fact that doing so would remove their own personality.

The strengthening was nothing more than inserting a mystical being into the body of the target. If the person being possessed was strong enough, the target would be able to access the power of the mystical being but if not, the mystical being would take over the body and allow themselves to gain a true physical form.

Of course, this was not normal possession but a complex ritual that added seals, curses and barriers onto the body itself.

Normal possession would slowly kill the body, that was not what Richard needed.

What he needed was a way to give people an enhancement that allows them to improve their mystical strength without the need to sacrifice the lives of non-mystics.

Still the tests showed that most non-mystics would end up being possessed.

Mystics had the chance to survive but that would need a strong will.

Unfortunately, the men in the mystical groups were not mystics at all-

Well, most of them weren’t, instead, they were just thugs.

They functioned similarly to the FMC, normal people with knowledge of mystics.

But in the Philippines that lacked true mystical abilities, just having knowledge is enough to get one a position under the various mystical groups.

After all, they don’t use actual spells or curses, instead, they conduct rituals and use elixirs concocted by higher ranking and more knowledgeable mystics.

Because of that, most of the men were basically glorified thugs who had access to poisons more potent than cyanide, weapons that could contend with regular firearms and methods to trick and manipulate their opponent.

In short, most mystics in the tenement group were just regular people and that did not only apply to the men-

Fortunately, the women who were non-mystics, after getting creampied a couple of times started to develop actual mystic potential.

My cums OP

When the first regular woman suddenly developed a low level of potential for magic, the news quickly spread.

Of course, this led to some men, not only gay men but straight men to beg for the white shower.

But Richard just dumped them all on Cindy and the witches back at the manor.

The men were happy to get welcomed by beautiful witches, they probably thought that they’d get to fuck them.

I wonder how they reacted to the procedure?

Richard thought while he pumped his hips and creampied the woman below him for the 3rd time.

Seeing that the woman was already spent, Richard laid her down and turned to see who was the next one but-

"You done?"

He was instead met with a familiar face.

"Cindy! Need more subjects?"

"No, those idiots were useless, their bodies were riddled with disease and even the weakest yokai did not want to use their bodies!"

"What did you do to them?"

"Food"

"I see"

It was unfortunate but those men got what was coming to them.

They would have perished long ago if it weren’t for the mystical concoctions that they used like drugs.

It wasn’t addicting but the effects are what allow the non-mystics and weaker mystics to indulge in their countless vices.

After all, even the most addicted chain smoker would hold back when they start coughing up blood.

But when they could hold back the pain and suffering while still smoking a dozen boxes of cigarettes a day, then why should they focus on abstinence?

This was one of the many ways the powerful mystics took control of the poor populations.

Those that society choose to turn away from, the people whose suffering was being ignored because it was easier to do so-

The mystics came to them, offered them release and in exchange, they were provided chains.

Even if they had to continue their life under poverty, the small victory of being part of the "manipulators" was enough to give them peace of mind.

The politicians who ignore them, the rich who despite and look down on them-

Just knowing that they belonged to the group of people who controlled these assholes in power was good enough.

Even if they didn’t hold much themselves, being at the bottom made them crave for less.

Others think that those in poverty always strive for success.

Wrong-

Richard knew and he saw it himself.

Only those that tasted the sweetness of success would crave it.

To those at the bottom, they would need to climb mountains just to take a lick of that sweetness and after that? They give up.

For every lick, for every taste, if they had to crawl up mountains, swim through roaring rapids and trek through ice and snow just for a small momentary taste then they’d just quit and enjoy what they had.

That was the reason why the rich get richer and poor just get poorer.

For the poor to get a chance, they had to beg, cry and kneel to hundreds while the rich? They just had to make a call and the gates to success opened up.

To those at the bottom, the easy sip of success they get for merely joining in the mystics machinations were enough.

Of course this was also one of the reasons why the hundreds of female mystics in the expanded hall were not even trying to leave.

Some of them got dressed and went out to eat and clean up but they would soon return.

Addicted to sex? Not a chance!

They were addicted to the feeling of power.

The slow but steady accumulation of mystical potential- the witches under morgana did not really see it as being all too great. To them, it was just an easy shortcut compared to hunting down non-mystics that nobody cares about and turning them into your artifact...

But these women who were a mix of low level mystics and non-mystics, to them, the increase in potential was like getting a liter of water during a drought.

"How’s the conversion?"

Cindy asked while she assessed the state of the woman below Richard.

"As you can see, these women all love it, the men- well, I’m still thinking of what to do with them"

"They’re useless, we’re better off turning them into rations or as materials"

"You think they’d make good material?"

"... you’re right, feed it is"

Their conversation would have made the women near them tremble in fear if it was two weeks ago but now?

To them, the power of mysticism, the real potential of magic was something that truly made them inhuman.

As the women got stronger, Richard called for some of his people to train them and this allowed the local witches who got enough mystic potential to start actual magic training.

Was it because they were personally enhanced by Richard or were they inherently talented? What it was, the women got stronger quickly and they absorbed knowledge like a sponge.

Within a few days of learning, they could already do small things like generating fireballs or even imparting actual curses.

When their former companions, their former bosses and the men who used to threaten them and even attempt to pursue them saw their power-

The look of fear in the eyes of the perverts and assholes who treated them as objects awakened something within the women.

Of course, being treated as objects by Richard was something they believed was normal.

After all, they now viewed him as someone with a status similar to that of a deity.

He gave them power and all they had to do was offer him their bodies.

Moreover, intercourse did not lead to pregnancy as the catalyst for giving them power was the semen he pumped into their bodies.

If that wasn’t enough, Richard was actually handsome, really attractive at that. He was tall and by the looks of how he’s acting and doing things, rich as well.

Money, looks and power-

What else could they ask for?

As such, the moment the women around Richard and Cindy heard them talk about the men in their organization and treating them as nothing but food for monsters-

To the women, it was an image of what they could become in the future.

"Hm?"

Richard saw the weird expressions on the local witches but he ignored them.

"For now, the men would be treated as rations for your pets, until we could find a better way to use them. Fortunately, the next group should have some better talent... I hope"

Richard sighed as he prayed that the next group of mystics who took a long time to prepare for an attack had actual talent.

"Hopefully, the chaos in the US is dying down, it seems Salem won in the end"

"Huh?"

"Hehe"
