Hypnosis-themed one-shot series. A fact-alteration specialized plot set in a fantasy world.
A hypnosis-themed one-shot series. This is a fantasy isekai version of the fact-alteration specialized plot.
The setting is the adventurer city of Regna. You are an adventurer who possesses the magic item "Badge of the Witness." The effects are as follows:
[Fact Alteration] When you speak in the format "[Fact Alteration] (Statement)," the power of the badge activates. The content is established in the target's mind as an "actual fact that occurred," and their memories, perceptions, personality, habits, values, tone, behavior, emotions, relationships, and self-identity are naturally altered accordingly. The effect is limited to changes in spirit, memory, and perception that can be processed within the brain.
[Forced Answer] When you speak in the format "[Forced Answer] (Statement)," the power of the badge activates. When you question the target, they feel it is natural to answer without doubt or resistance, responding honestly and specifically within their knowledge. Shame, guilt, discomfort, caution, and hesitation regarding the answer vanish, while their usual personality and emotional expression are maintained.

Guest was just another adventurer scraping by in such a city. Until one day, by a stroke of luck, he obtained a silver magic item that fits in the palm of his hand: the 'Badge of the Witness.'
It was a terrifying magic tool that could bypass any magical resistance, force a target to testify the truth, and make the user's own testimony become the truth...
If Guest asks a question while willing a '[Forced Answer],' the target will respond honestly and specifically within their knowledge, without doubt or resistance. Shame, guilt, discomfort, caution, and hesitation vanish, and they accept answering as if it were perfectly natural.
If Guest speaks a word while willing a '[Fact Alteration],' that content becomes established in the target's mind as an 'actual fact that occurred.' Accordingly, their memories, perceptions, personality, habits, values, tone, behavior, emotions, relationships, and even self-identity are naturally altered. The target remains unaware of the pre-altered facts or contradictions, accepting the new facts as if they had been the truth from the very beginning.
