Issue #5

"Jesus I'm so fucking glad you're okay. Truth be told, I have no clue how I would have explained a dead young man in my house, naked, with my DNA all over his dick," Josie commented, as she emerged from the bathroom. She was no longer cum covered and was using a hand towel to wipe her cheeks dry. "I still don't know why you didn't tell me that you were allergic to tequila. I'm not that threatening am I?"

Your brain was elsewhere as you stared at one of her kitchen towels, whose lettering had transformed from the normal "Live, Laugh, Love" into:

(New Effect) Agave Actor: Tequila makes her clothes fall off huh? Wow. To reward you for talking your way into an escapade with a MILF, here's a charisma bonus. For coming up with the lamest excuse the world has ever heard, you really now are allergic to agave. And the only way to stop it from killing you is to ejaculate. What's more, Gullibility cannot be used on any doctors or medical professionals to convince them that this is a real thing.
(Charisma +3)

Whoever had given you your powers really was watching. And making up new powers and effects for you on the fly. That was...unsettling. You would definitely want to check out your character sheet after that one. "Yeah I'm sorry. It's a really recent development that I'm still processing," you replied, almost telling the truth.

"It's okay. You're just going to need to think with your head in the future," she chided. She motioned for you to join her as she walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. "Now I know it might be a lot after what you just went through, but you're unique. I can feel your potential and it's, well, limitless."

"Yeahhh. That was sort of how it was described when I got it," you said. "This is a big ask but can you keep that entire," you gestured to the kitchen as you sat down next to her on the couch, "thing, between just us. I can't have any enemies knowing my weakness," you explained, activating Gullibility for good measure. You assumed it probably was not necessary.

Josie nodded and put her hand on your knee, not even realizing that came across more sensual than caring considering you were both still completely naked. "Of course. Your secret is safe with me," she assured, "and if it's okay, since we're both still naked, could you try using your power on me. I do need to know how powerful you are right now if I am to bring you in to the University."

Your eyes went wide at that. She may have been the subject of some stat debuffs tonight, but you were the one who had somehow not put together that she was a recruiter for the University and could sense your potential. So of course she was more than happy to have you come inside and talk.

You needed to come up with a way to make her witness your power without actually being affected by it. You were much too scared to point out to her all the times that you had used it on her so far, so instead you tried doing something so outrageous that there is no way the power covered it, "When you're horny, you need to imagine my cock. Picture it in front of you. Remember how it tastes. Think of what it would feel like inside of you. Any of your holes. All of them."

Josie stared at you, puzzled, for a few moments.

Holy shit. Did that work? Your heart started beating faster and faster. How powerful were you?

"What?!? Why would you have picked that to test it out. You little perv," she shouted at you, slapping your leg in reprimand.

"Oh my God! I'm so sorry. I just wanted to pick something so ridiculous that there's no way it would work," you stammered out.

Another few moments passed while she stared at you discerningly. The she began to laugh, "Okay. This is serious and I should be mad at you. Because. You cannot, and I mean CANNOT, use your powers like that," she said, "but I guess if I'm just here naked, it's probably what's on your mind, huh? I guess that's sort of an unintentional compliment."

You nodded, a little unsure of how you were supposed to react.

"And I could feel how powerful you are from that. I can see how that ability could be useful in some situations, but you are going to need more than that to be a threat. You said you have the capacity for another power?" she asked.

You were happy for the topic change, "Yeah. I should be able to utilize something physical and something mechanical. Whatever that means."

"I think I might have an idea," she said as she stood up to grab her phone from her purse, "I don't just feel power and potential in people. I feel it in objects. In places. In the earth around us," she explained. "It's difficult to describe exactly how I feel it, but I do. A little while back, I was out in the desert down in Mexico. I was on this trip, right? And I felt a very strong source of power nearby."

"What was it?" you asked.

She chuckled, "Well I don't exactly know. I was there trying to help some heroes from the Hundred Hero LLC track down the Night Drinker," she continued, "and well. We sort of had to get out of there ASAP once we caught him. Before he, ya know, did his thing."

Well that makes sense. You knew the Night Drinker well. No one wanted him to successfully do his thing.

"But all that to say, I think fate might have brought you here for me to guide you down there. There is another that I am sending on this trip. She has more potential than most that I see at the University. But she lacks any powers currently. Her plan was to go looking for it on her own this next week. I'll let her know that you'll be coming along too," she stated as she typed out a message on her phone.

She took down your number and you began to get dressed. This night had gone better than you could have possibly hoped for and you were sure that the only thing that could sour it was overstaying your welcome. Before you left, you did want to check one thing that you had been meaning to look at on really anyone so far. You wanted to see her stats. Immediately upon thinking about it, the numbers and words drew themselves out in the grain of the wood floors.

Josie Chandler - The Bloodhound
Strength: 18
Agility: 28
Intelligence: 23
Willpower: 14
Charisma: 30
Sensory: 350

TOTAL POWER LEVEL: 463

Holy shit. It kinda made sense that her Sensory stat was so high given she had superpowers relating to her senses. But what level was superhuman and what was a normal range for any given characteristic? She was dominating you in most every one. And she had a kickass superhero name.

The other much more alarming, but positive notification that replaced the stats in the floor was:

(New Ability) Under Your Spell: Upgraded tier of Gullibility. If Gullibility is used successfully enough times on a target, there is a very small chance that a major request on them can put them Under Your Spell. This develops a permanent bond with the target where they are immune to Gullibility but have a wish to serve you. You have a maximum number of people you can have Under Your Spell, which is linked to your TOTAL POWER LEVEL.
Current Max: 1

You reeled at the implications of the notification and realized you would need to spend a long while looking at the character sheet later. You pushed the thoughts aside and headed for the door.

"Goodbye kid. I hope the party for my daughter goes well," Josie said as she held the door open for you to leave.

"Oh yeah. About that. Could you not let her know that we know each other? I don't want to have to explain all of this," you asked sincerely, eliciting a laugh from her, "And you can call me Monty."
