Reincarnated with the Mind Control Powers in Another World. Chapter 1
"Anon... Anon, wake up."
"Haaa... haaa. No... what—what happened?"
I snapped awake, a throbbing ache pulsing through my skull. My vision cleared to reveal a stunning blonde milf with massive, heavy jugs sitting right before me.
"What the hell is wrong with this useless piece of trash?" a blue-haired girl muttered from behind her.
What is going on? My final memory was dying in a tragic accident back on Earth. Wait! Could this be heaven?
"Cherry, he is your brother. Do not speak so poorly of him. Have you finished your homework?" The milf reprimanded the blue-haired girl.
'Are these women angels or something?' I wondered.
As the thought crossed my mind, the agonizing pain in my head intensified, growing sharper by the second.
Suddenly, a flood of foreign memories began racing through my consciousness.
'This isn't my body. I've been reincarnated. The original owner of this form was named Anon Agreil. He was just murdered—poisoned by his own blue-haired step-sister, Cherry.'
She had actually confessed the deed to him while he was drawing his last breath.
This world isn't Earth; magic is a reality here. Humans and various other races coexist, integrating magic into every aspect of their daily lives.
Anon is a sixteen-year-old boy characterized by black hair and crimson eyes. He was supposed to depart for his journey as an adventurer today, but thanks to his sister's murderous intent, he nearly ended up in a grave.
Anon's biological mother passed away when he was eight. Afterward, his father wed a widow named Freya, who brought three daughters into the family, making them my three step-sisters.
Anon had always suspected Cherry, the youngest daughter, was responsible for his father's demise. Last night, those suspicions were confirmed. Now, her face has turned a sickly shade of pale yellow as she watches me sitting here alive and well. That bitch is the literal definition of the word.
"Anon, you need to rest. You can postpone your adventurer's journey until tomorrow," Freya said, stepping toward me. Her breasts jiggled fiercely with every movement.
"Y-YES," I stammered. My face flushed red as I tried to conceal a raging boner inside my worn leather trousers.
Once she exited the room, I began to process my surroundings.
The era didn't look futuristic at all; in fact, it seemed like the opposite—an old, mid-eastern setting. The house was made of wood, and the clothes and shoes were all leather.
Reflecting on this, I recalled the isekai manga I used to devour back on Earth. A sudden realization struck me.
Tossing the blanket aside, I climbed out of bed and spoke aloud...
"S-Status..." Nothing occurred.
"Bruh... and here I thought it was my lucky day."
[Starting System...]
All of a sudden, a semi-transparent, yellowish interface manifested in the air before me.
"N-No way."
A surge of adrenaline and raw enthusiasm flooded my body, making me feel as though I were a god.
I stared at the screen for ten straight minutes, but only a single prompt remained visible the entire time.
[Starting System...]
"Bro, is this thing frozen or something...?"
An hour crawled by before the display finally updated with something new.
[Choose Class...]
[Human race Classes]
[Monster race Classes]
[Note: A class will not alter your physical shape or size. Each class possesses a unique skill set. Once a class is selected, it cannot be changed under any circumstances and will significantly impact your life. Choose with extreme caution. If no selection is made within 4 hours, a class will be assigned at random.]
"Fuuu.... it finally moved. So, I have to pick a class, huh? Let's browse the human options first."
[Human classes]
[Mage] [Swordsman] [Healer] [Archer]
[Note: At levels 10, 30, 60, and 100, sub-classes will unlock for further evolution. Choose carefully.]
What exactly does "further evolution" imply?
Is it like progressing from a Mage to an Archmage or a Great Magus?
Predictably, the system offered no response.
Well, let's see what the Monster classes have to offer. I don't really need to read the descriptions, as I'm already familiar with the tropes...
[Monster classes]
[Wolfkin] [Slime] [Demonic imp] [Golem] [Mind Flayer] [Dungeon master] [Joker] [Goblin]
[Note: At levels 10, 30, 60, and 100, sub-classes will unlock for further evolution. Choose carefully.]
Hmm... quite a variety, as one would expect from monster classes. Since it won't transform my body, I could actually pick one of these.
Let's see... I know what a Wolfkin and a Slime are. I'll check the ones I'm less familiar with.
[Demonic imp]
[A minor creature forged from dark demonic energy. Capable of performing minor magical tricks...]
Bruh, that's pathetic. Although, if I pick this, I might eventually evolve into a high-tier demon. But nah.
[Golem]
[Known for a lack of emotion and immense physical power. Renowned for their unwavering loyalty to their master...]
This class is as useless as a hedgehog in a condom factory.
After scrutinizing every option, I reached a single conclusion.
[Mind Flayer]
[A creature regarded as one of the most malevolent among monsters. It can dominate the minds of any other being by planting its own body cells into the target. The more it possesses a target, the more that target becomes a mindless puppet. By consuming memories, this creature evolves and grows in power.]
[Warning: Selecting this monster class may alter your psyche and personality.]
I'm drawn to this class, but that warning is glaring at me like a diamond in the rough.
However, three and a half hours have already passed. I don't want to end up with some random, garbage class.
Bruh... who cares? Let's just do it.
[Are you sure you want to change your class to <Mind Flayer>?]
"Y-Yes..." Why am I trembling?
[Class selected: Mind Flayer.]
[Skill set has been granted.]
[Status updated.]

________________________________
O-Okay... this is straightforward enough, and honestly, it's incredibly interesting.
Time to examine my skills.
[Mind Control]
[If you successfully implant even a single cell of your body into a target, you can dominate their mind via the Psychic Connection skill. However, to activate your cells within the target, this skill must be used each time you attempt to control a new individual.]
[Mana: 3]
[Note: Mana cost will increase as the skill level rises.]
[Memory Eater]
[By killing a target or forcing them into submission under your control, you can consume their memories to earn experience points.]
[Mana: 2]
[Memory Altering]
[Allows the modification of a target's memories through physical contact. The skill level determines the effectiveness. It can be applied repeatedly to the same target to make the fabricated memories more convincing.]
[Mana: 1]
[Psychic Connection]
[Enables remote control of your cells within a target, simulating their mind to follow your commands from any distance. You can also perceive what the target sees and feels. The connection can be strengthened by inserting more cells into the target's body.]
[Mana: 1/minute]
Now then, shall we put these skills to the test?
I thought to myself, glancing down at the tent in my pants. My mind raced with the various "applications" for these powers.
First things first, I'll go pay my step-mom a visit.
