Capítulo 153: Dominate
They entered the villa and were greeted by the sight of Jane and Lucia playing on the floor. Between them, there were cards spread out, which belonged to a popular card trading game. They were currently focusing fully on their fight.
Celine didn't know enough about the understand who was winning, but it seemed like they were evenly matched.
She laid down Ivan on the couch, which was the furthest from them, before greeting them.
"Hey. You two."
"Hey, mom." "Hey Celine", the two greeted her back, without even looking up from their game.
Celine shook her head helplessly. "Stop your game, we have guests. So at least stop your game for now.", she then admonished them.
The two finally looked up from their game. When Jane saw Key, she exclaimed, "Uncle", and ran towards him.
"Hey, little one.", Key greeted her and caught her when she threw herself at him.
"How come you are here? Didn't you go out with dad? How come you brought my uncle back? Where is daddy?", Jane then fired off question after question, without giving them time to answer.
"Calm down.", Celine said and then started to explain, "We went shopping together and met your uncle by accident. Then we decided to chat go somewhere else and have dinner together. That's why he is here. As for your daddy, he is lying over there. You didn't even realize that I carried him in."
The little girl looked at where she was pointing and saw her father lying on the couch. "What happened to him?", she asked calmly. She didn't seem that concerned about seeing him passed out, confusing Key and Yevina.
"The usual.", Celine remarked.
"Seems like something like this has happened to him before?", Yevina asked curiously.
"Yeah. Once with my mother and once with Celine. Maybe even more, but I don't know about it.", Jane told her.
"Wow. That's weird."
"Mm, should be because of who he was before his reset.", Jane commented. That was what her mother had said. Because of his reset, her father should be different from others, so if something weird happened she shouldn't worry.
"Makes sense. Still, does anyone know when he will wake up?"
Just when she asked, Ivan moved. He slowly sat up. When he had just woken up, he still was filled with the feeling that woman had induced in him, but as soon as he realized that he was back home, he had calmed down and gone back to normal.
"Damn, what happened?", was the first thing he said. He then realized that everyone was looking at him curiously as well. He wanted to say that he had no clue but then realized that there was a message from the system.
<< Congratulations, through resonance you have awakened your bloodline talent 'Dominate'. >>
<< Talent: Dominate (F)
By using your aura you can force weaker beings to submit to you. Beings who have submitted to you will follow your orders without any resistance.
Each 1h there will be a check if the domination will continue. If the difference of strength isn't high enough, there will be an increased chance for the check to fail, with the chance increasing each time.
Remark:
Because this talent has been acquired through resonance it is currently limited by the one you resonated with. Only by overcoming that person you can break the limit.
>>
Although he didn't quite understand the effect, it looked very useful against weaker opponents. Especially since it wasn't limited to a single species. And it didn't seem to have a cost associated with it. The question was how much the difference in strength had to be for it to work.
"So which talent did you get?", Celine asked him.
He wasn't surprised that she knew what had happened, so instead of answering, he directly shared the description.
"Mmm, that was about what I expected.", Celine said, "Check your quests. You should have gotten two. One to increase the rank of the talent and one to break the limit."
He followed her suggestion and truly there were two new quests in his quest screen. The first one was named 'Practiced domination' and the second 'Limitless domination'.
<< Quest: Practiced domination
Just like everything else dominating someone requires practice. But just going around and using it indiscriminately won't make for good practice. Instead, it is a good strategy to orient oneself at the situation one was in when the talent has awoken.
You have awoken your talent while being slightly dominated by a humanoid female, thus dominating humanoid female's is the best choice for you. Use the given collars to mark your domain.
Task:
Use `Dominate` to make five female humanoids wear the `Collar of Submission`.
You have currently made 0/5 wear the collar.
You have 5/5 `Collar of Submission` available. You can get them in your inventory in the quest section.
>>
The quest didn't seem that bad. He could just buy some weak female slaves and make them wear the collar. Although he didn't have the money at the moment, he should be able to earn it. But after looking at the description of `Collar of Submission`, he had to change his mind. This quest was damn difficult.
<< Collar of Submission (Quest item)
The Collar of Submission is the visible sign of the wearer having submitted to the owner of the collar.
It can only be put on by the person herself, while under the effect of 'Dominate'. At this time, the person can not be under any other controlling effects.
After putting it on, it requires a random interaction between the wearer and the owner. If this interaction isn't done within the given time limit, the collar will loosen and the owner will experience a backlash.
Remark:
This quest is nearly impossible to finish in the Realm of Mythelem because all intelligent beings are immune to mind-affecting effects.
>>
And the description made the formerly easy seeming quest suddenly much harder. But maybe he would be able to finish this quest in Jacky's store. After all, it wasn't a part of the Realm of Mythelem. Although it would be next to impossible to find someone with the requirements there. The slaves she got, surely would be above his strength. As for bringing someone in there and then doing it, he didn't think that Jacky would agree to it and besides he himself didn't really want to do it either.
He then checked out the other quest.
<< Limitless Domination (SS)
You have been dominated by Lady Meilo, which has lead to your bloodline burning up in defense, awakening your innate 'Dominate' talent. But the situation it has happened has left a mark. As long as you aren't capable of overcoming this, you won't be able to elevate your `Dominate` to the highest grade. Instead, it will be capped at the level of Lady Meilo.
Your `Dominate` talent is currently capped at rank S and level 50.
Task:
To get rid of the shame of being dominated it is necessary for you to get your revenge. Thus it is required for you to make Lady Meilo your pet and have her wear the corresponding collar `Ivan's pet collar`.
>>
<< Ivan's pet collar (Unique)
Ivan's pet collar which has been created to show that he has overcome his inner demons and degraded the one responsible for it to the status of his pet.
Effects:
Forces the wearer to listen to the commands of Ivan.
Allows Ivan to have the wearer act as a pet.
It cannot be removed.
Allows the wearer to cast pre-stored spells infused by Ivan.
Remark:
It even has to option to change the wearer into great pet costumes, all of which are unlockable at the store.
>>
When Ivan read the remark, he nearly had to cough up blood. Now, this damn system even started to advertise it's store. The more contact he had with it, the more it looked like one of those greedy game developers who sold ingame stuff. Something he had always tried to keep a distance off, whenever he relaxed while playing a game on his phone.
Besides that, this quest didn't seem to be urgent at all. Now his `Dominate` talent was only at rank F and level 1 so until he reached rank S and level 50, a lot of time would have passed.
This didn't change the fact, that he disliked the direction of these quests. Why was it always about women? Why couldn't it just be about fighting? That would be much more enjoyable.
Only after questioning the systems work ethic did he remember that the others in the room were still looking at him, wanting to know which two quests he had gotten.
He didn't want to talk about them in front of Jane, Lucia, Yevina, and Key. Later he would ask Celine about her opinion, but he didn't feel comfortable with telling the content to the others. Especially not his daughter.
So he only said, "Yes I got two quests. One is to increase the rank of the talent, but it is currently impossible to fulfill and the other is to break the limit of it, but this one isn't urgent as well."
