Chapter 432 432-My Profits.
The witches were born from the job that Razellia created, and their main power lies within their abilities to create several different potions that are dearly needed for the world to function now.
The main source of power behind this job is the element of destruction, a gift from Razellia to all her followers. Of course, none of them receives its full power, just a small fraction, enough for the witches to destabilize the materials and create their potions.
But this does not mean that it's good and bright for all the witches. The power they receive has its downfall as it creates a layer of destruction capabilities in their bodies. Due to Razellia's past unhappiness and pettiness, she made it such that those who take the path of the witch would lose their ability to fall in love. A price that depends on perceptions can be seen as something insignificant or something too hard to give up.
Then there comes the question of how Zora fell in love with the game? Now, that has an entirely different backstory behind it. Looking at Zora, she seems normal, but behind her lay several heavy secrets and powers that have yet to be uncovered. They are yet to be gone after. After all, she is a capture target, and none of the capture targets are normal.
The only normal ones among the girls beside me are the ones that are not marked as the capture targets, like Clara, Rika, Mika, Rina, and Sana. They were more of the villain girls in the game than capture targets, hence their level can be said to be 'normal'. Though With my help, these girls are indeed becoming more and more special. However, in the end, Zora has a certain arc that has yet to begin, just like Sonia, who turned into a half-vampire, and s.h.i.+ra, who had her entire bloodline unlocked due to the weapon and became great. Zora also has a trigger that has yet to be unlocked. But I am keeping a lid on that as I have a specific moment to open up that can of problems.
Getting back to the topic, only women are capable of becoming witches, and even among them, some criteria need to be fulfilled before they can fully walk that path. Hence, all the witches in existence are mostly alone, and lonely, and spend all their time on their research. Then enters me, a man chosen by Razellia who can inspire feelings within all the witches, making their inner body twitch in happiness. This was just the beginning of my plan. To make them fall deeper, I did something much more dangerous.

Spell: The Light That Pierces All Hearts
Description: The great light priest who desired to spread his seeds all around the world one day came upon a group of tribe women who were unable to fall in love or feel anything, living and reproducing with the mud and clay of the land. Seeing this, the light priest couldn't take it and created the perfect spell to spread his love to these women, to teach them the pleasure of being a woman. Of course, he made the spell so that they would only be his women.
Uses: Once marked by the user, it imprints a mark within the deep consciousness of the target and spreads deeper and deeper as time pa.s.ses. The more the spell spreads, the more women will fall under the trap of feeling they can't get out of.
Disadvantage: Can only be used on women who can't feel love.
Cost: 25,000

It's a spell that may seem completely useless at first glance, but in the current situation, it is a great power that I can use. After imbuing a part of my soul into this spell, I spread it to the top echelon of the church, under the guise that it is a spell that will help them fight the deep depression clutching their hearts.
Being their holy son and with no reason for them to believe I would harm them, they started using this spell regularly. Along with their natural attraction toward me, this began to build the perfect scenario for them to treat me with complete adoration and love.
+2000 affection!
+5000 affection!
+1000 affection!
As I walked surrounded by these women, I could feel their affection pouring out toward me, heavy and powerful. To them, who couldn't feel love, having me close was like a drug. Once they experienced it, they couldn't give it up, creating a scenario where they would do anything to get my attention.
pnd no?1,o In fact, I was sure that given the chance, all of these women would jump at the opportunity to have s.e.x with me. It's only due to their respect for me and my backing of Razellia that these women, hungry for me, hadn't jumped on me yet. Perhaps they were waiting for me to make a move, and moreover, they were waiting for me to grow up.
Lost in my thoughts, I and my entourage reached a room. Upon entering, I saw two people gathered inside. Nodding to each of them, I walked up to the center seat, taking the lead.
My eyes then focused on the other two women in the room. A beautiful elf with black and silver hair and black eyes stood to my left, holding a doc.u.ment in her hand. She was quite beautiful and lean, with bright and soft skin. Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s seemed to be held back with difficulty by her top s.h.i.+rt, she had a skirt, along with black stockings that fits perfectly to her legs.
To my right was a brown-skinned elf with brown hair and eyes. Her tanning-like skin was quite enchanting, and unlike the white elf, she had small b.r.e.a.s.t.s, but her a.s.s made up for it. It was large and perfect, waiting to be played with and smacked, its bouncy shape being perfectly highlighted by her skirt
After a quick scan of my two secretaries, I took a seat at the head table while I turned to Astrid as she was the only one left in the room. The rest had moved out, giving me the privacy that I needed.
"These are all the profits we have made from selling our books," Luminara, the white-skinned elf, spoke as she pa.s.sed me her doc.u.ments, her voice calm and professional. Taking them up, I began to read through all the profits my company had made through the year, scanning through numbers that would make even a duke turn green with envy at the money I was making.
"Is there any issue from the other compet.i.tors?" I asked.
"Nope, with the Church of Razellia providing cover, all those with such intentions were taken care of," Luminara spoke as she took out another doc.u.ment and pa.s.sed it to me. "We are still receiving collaboration offers from the Merchant a.s.sociation, they want to meet with you face to face."
Hearing this, I looked through the offer that the Merchant a.s.sociation was giving me, which was quite generous, considering how stingy and profit-minded those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds are.
"There is also an increased pet.i.tion from your readers wanting to meet you," Luminara added, to which I just shook my head as I asked, "How much has it reached?"
"Right now, it's at 500 million," she replied.
Hearing this, I let out a sharp whistle as I imagined my fans turning crazy to see me. As I said before, I hold a very powerful sway over the ma.s.ses with my books, and the several concepts I incorporated have helped solve some problems across the world, pus.h.i.+ng my popularity to an all-time high.
"We've also got more kingdoms and powers trying to find your ident.i.ty, but once again, the Church is keeping them at bay," Astrid suddenly spoke, catching my attention.
"Thanks," I responded, which put a smile and a small blush on her face, something rare to see on this woman who is named quite ruthless and stoic to the outside world.
"Humph... s.l.u.t..." a low voice was heard from Eira, the brown-skinned elf as her eyes were just on me with a smile, giving me a wink.
'Girl, have you forgotten the fact that you tried to rape in the past?'
I kept my question to myself and spoke to Luminara. "Good, keep the production rate like this for now, keep them wanting more, and make an announcement that the second part of Worldly Loves will be releasing soon."
Hearing my words, I could see Luminara's eyes s.h.i.+ning with happiness and delight. "It shall be done," she replied, and her voice was a bit more emotional now, perfectly matching her bookworm personality.
