Harem God: Leveling Up Yanderes in the Apocalypse-Chapter 10 Thirsty Psychopaths

[A/N: This is a [tour] of the interface. Key takeaway: normal stats and emotional/relational stats—two of everything.

My intention is simple: let them manipulate their personalities and behavior with stats. So much potential for mayhem. I call my vision whimsical armor.

So please don't focus on the interface. It won't show up often and is only outlined for flexibility.]

—

Seeing Leon's beaming as he looked at his interface sent Caitlyn over the moon.

Her power was his power, and she was certain his joy had to do with her.

Timothy's face filled with anger when he saw her expression.

"That bastard's trying to brainwash you!" He cried.

Caitlyn's expression reacted in confusion, and she uncovered his mouth.

"What did you say?" She asked.

Timothy's eyes widened in surprise. Leon was busy with his interface; this was his chance!

"Leon is trying to brainwash you!" He repeated.

Caitlyn's face blushed vibrantly at the assertion.

"You really think so?" She asked shyly.

Timothy's face filled with confusion. "Yes! I'm certain of it!"

"I hope you're right…." Caitlyn replied shyly.

"Wait… wait…. Wait! What!?" The severely injured man cried.

"Well, his power doesn't work on me. I'm afraid that he'll never be fully comfortable using me if it doesn't yield results." She explained thoughtfully.

"Wha… Caitlyn, what are you talking about!? It's obviously working on you!" Timothy cried.

"Hmmm? Unfortunately not. It magnifies emotions, so it normally turns people into obsessive fangirls—"

"Your obsession is maxed out right now!" He interjected.

"It's not polite to stop me mid sentence and then complete my point!" Caitlyn snapped indignantly.

"W-Wha—"

"As I said, it turns women into obsessive fangirls. Since I've been stalking him for six years, the system hit me with buffs as a safety measure." Caitlyn pouted.

"Buffs? Six years? Wait! We've only been in college a… year…."

It was at that moment that Timothy knew that he was dead.

"Six…." He chuckled in disbelief.

"Right!? Consider it. You wait six years for your future love to notice you, then when a god-gifted opportunity presents itself, it nukes your advantage over others!" Caitlyn whined.

Timothy turned to Leon, who was engrossed in his interface. He wondered if the man knew the explosive bombshells she was casually lobbing at him.

"Wh-Why are you so interested in h-him?" Timothy asked timidly.

His question was partly to appease the psychopath in front of him and to keep the conversation going to find leverage or earn her favor.

More importantly, if he were going to die, he wanted to know just how boned the guy choking her from behind was!

Meanwhile, Leon was exploring the world that was Caitlyn Mira with a fascinated expression.

Everything about what Leon read on Caitlyn's made him grin or chuckle in amusement.

The Bond Magnification stat piqued his interest. He wondered if an Emotional Magnification feature caused his abnormal acceptance of her.

He'd research it later. He was looking for skills, so he chose Class Skills first.

"When she said she lied about learning about me trying to find my email, I didn't think she lied that bad." Leon chuckled breathlessly in amusement while closing his interface, "Considering we met last year in college, that's a huge disparity."

God's Voice was locked, and he quickly discerned that he wasn't likely to find a useful skill for voice amplification in the Bonded Skill section.

"I'll research Bonded Skills later. They need my full attention, and I'm annoyed I don't have that right now." Leon grumbled while turning his attention back to [Caitlyn].

"Now, do you understand?" Caitlyn concluded with an ecstatic expression.

"...."

Timothy responded in silence.

Caitlyn had spent the last ten minutes speaking about how she learned about Leon, his life, and how she applied to Calvin University to be near him.

Now he wouldn't even look at Leon, making the relationship mutual.

To say he had feelings of inferiority would be a gross understatement. The story he heard was a ruthless [combo] attack on his ego.

"Ahem." Leon coughed.

Caitlyn immediately turned to him with her full, undivided attention.

"The only skill for voice amplification is locked from level restrictions," Leon announced, "but Lindy and Sarah are far more valuable than anyone else. This situation isn't worth our time, so just get toss the—"

"W-WAIT! Did you see the shooter, Leon!?" Timothy cried.

Leon turned to him for the first time. "What does that matter?"

His aggressively annoyed expression sent an icy chill crawling down Timothy's spine.

"It-It's just that she's deceiving you! She's been obsessively stalking you!" Timothy cried.

"Yeah, I was also surprised when I learned she was an obsessive stalker." Leon replied with an unchanging expression.

"Y-You knew!?" Timothy cried in shock.

"Yeah. I went through an orientation the second I accepted her into my harem." Leon replied casually.

"S-So you know Caitlyn's been stalking you since you were 15!?" Timothy asked in shock.

"Yeah. Well, I just found that out. Hurry up with your point." Leon ordered bluntly. "We've already wasted enough time here."

"And that detail doesn't bother you!?" Timothy yelled aggressively.

"No? To be honest, it's kind of relieving." Leon chuckled.

Caitlyn's eyes widened in shock, and she turned her head toward Leon with a mesmerized expression.

"Relieving!?" Timothy asked in exasperation. "What part of that situation is [relieving]!?"

"Hmmm. The beautiful tennis girl stalking the meticulously crafted class clown concept screamed mental health issues." Leon replied thoughtfully.

"Now that I know she's been stalking the real me, things make a lot more sense."

Timothy's eyebrow twitched in annoyance.

"This is stalking we're talking about! Stalk-king. What difference does it make why it started or why she's doing it!?"

Leon's eyes glided to the left with a pensive expression.

"How do I put this…. If she observed me, it means she's had an equally fucked up upbringing." He reasoned. "I can't blame her for wanting to be near someone who's shared a similar life."

Caitlyn gasped, and her face lit up with unreserved happiness. Leon smiled gently in response.

"You're psychopaths…." Timothy whispered in fear and disbelief. "Real textbook psychopaths…."

"You just tried killing someone without context ten minutes ago, Ted." Leon laughed in bewilderment while releasing his right hand from Caitlyn's bruised neck and reaching into his backpack.

"It's not the same. And my name's Tim!" Timothy scoffed.

"Sure it is, Jeffrey!" Leon claimed grandly, "Well, not exactly. There's only one difference between us."

"Yeah, what's the difference!? And my name is fucking Tim! " Timothy yelled.

"One moment, Jack. Hey, Caitlyn. I've got us some water. Catch." Leon requested while throwing the water.

Naturally, it went in two directions because of how he held the bottles in one hand. Caitlyn instantly released Timothy from her princess carry to prioritize catching them.

"AGHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh…youuuuu biiiiiiiiitcccccchhh—" boom. Ding!

"We're thirsty." Leon chuckled.
