"I guess you have some use after all," I chuckled to myself as I watched Jaji's gruesome condition.
They gouged his intestine out and began tearing his limbs apart, actions that would have been fatal in reality. However, in this dream under my Dream Manipulation, he was spared from the consequences death.
But this false immortality was more of a curse for him. He was trapped in a horrifying ordeal, unable to escape even through death, making his suffering far worse than fate.
But, thanks to him , I had figured out that my Dream Manipulation was even more powerful when used on another person.
I only needed to think of a general idea, and Dream Manipulation would utilize the brain functions of the target rather than relying solely on mine. I wasn't sure if there were any side effects on him, but it didn't matter much since he was already dying.
Naturally, to fully appreciate his involuntary contribution to my experiment, I diligently jotted down all the observations I had amassed. Who would have thought that turning dreams into a dark playground would be so enlightening?
First, Dream Manipulation had some pros and cons when used on another person. Unlike when I manipulated my own dreams, I couldn't alter the surroundings without expending more Mind Power than usual.
However, I could create minor changes with relatively low cost. For example, the zombies currently devouring him were initiated by introducing the idea of zombies. Once his mind registered it, I no longer had to invest as much power as I did before.
Secondly, the target couldn't perceive the imperfections of the Dream World. From my perspective, the entire scene resembled a movie set, and I only saw the specific location where the dream was unfolding.
Beyond that, there was nothing—just a blank canvas. Yet, strangely, Jaji seemed oblivious to this. In his view, everything appeared real and complete. I assumed that his mind was filling in the gaps, compensating for the incomplete parts.
It was as if my Dream Manipulation was optimizing resource consumption by generating scenes only as needed, similar to how a video game loads data progressively as the player reached specific areas. This approach prevented the hardware from having to process everything at once.
Third, I realized that I couldn't control him directly. My attempts to use suggestions on him were unsuccessful.
I had to wait for him to take actions. While I could affect him through external means, suggestions didn't work because this place was his dream world, and his mind had more tolerance.
But this didn't matter much, as he was still under my skill, and I could influence his dream by introducing other variables, such as Guk Kwan trying to corner him.
Lastly, I observed the time flow here. I realized that I could slow it down by a maximum of 10 times. This meant that 60 minutes here would only be equal to 6 minutes in the real world. It was incredibly overpowered.
I'm quite confident that as I increase my Mind Power, this dream manipulation skill will only become much easier to use.
"The dream world is breaking?" I muttered to myself, feeling a strange vibration in the air. It seemed that Jaji was nearing death. It was unfortunate that I couldn't continue torturing him, but I had to be satisfied with this.
With that, I continued to watch him suffer in the last few moments of his life. Only his head remained, but he could still see and feel everything. He was crying blood and pleading for forgiveness. All that suffering had utterly broken his mind.
Finally, the entire dream world collapsed.
"That was fun," I chuckled aloud as I opened my eyes and found myself in front of Jaji's lifeless body.
"It's a shame I can't earn EXP in the dream world," I sighed dramatically. "This skill would have been the ultimate torture skill, but the system doesn't consider dream torture worthy of EXP points. Oh well, I'll just have to settle for playing God for fun!"
I closed my eyes and felt my connections with my puppets. Using my Mind Link, I summoned a few of them. Soon, four crew members entered the room, each carrying cleaning supplies and a black body bag. I prepared these body bags before hand because I was planning to kill a lot of people .
"Clean this place," I commanded them before turning away.
The crew members meticulously cleaned the entire room and placed the lifeless body into the body bag. Their next step was to conceal it from prying eyes.

As I stepped onto the deck, the excited crowd began to gather around me, their eyes widening as they caught sight of me, casually strolling alongside Evelyn and the rest of the group.
I noticed a few perverted bastards leering at my girls, but I chose to ignore them for the time being. After all, they had no idea that their time were numbered.
'Enjoy your life while you can,' I whispered under my breath, a chilling smile tugging at my lips.
"Good evening," I greeted them, offering a warm smile and a firm handshake.
My eyes sparked with charisma, and my words flowed smoothly as I introduced myself to this bunch of soon-to-die partygoers. However, behind the façade of friendliness, my true intentions were well-hidden.
Amid the backdrop of upbeat music and joyous laughter, I navigated through the crowd, working my subtle manipulations. One by one, they fell deeper under my fake smile as I charmed my way into their trust and thoughts.
With each new interaction, I solidified my grip on the crowd. Their smiles and laughter continued, oblivious to the undercurrent of influence at play. The party raged on, with everyone dancing to the tune I secretly orchestrated.
"Is that everyone?" I inquired , seeking confirmation that I had interacted with everyone on the ship.
"That's everyone, Master," the crew member replied.
"Good," I replied.
Then, I closed my eyes to connect to them through Mind Link.
With a mere thought, I erased Jaji from their collective memory. Now, no one would question his absence .
"Done, "I said as I opened my eyes with a satisfied expression.
