Smear Campaigns and Psychological Games
Alongside his work in witchcraft, the dummy warlock also devoted considerable energy to leading smear campaigns designed to ruin the individual’s reputation, along with psychological attacks meant to destabilize the individual’s mental state.
A very sophisticated strategy, at least in theory.
For a long time, the individual noticed strange things happening whenever he went anywhere. discrimination from strangers, passive-aggressive reactions, and people trying to make him uncomfortable during events—people he had never seen or met before.
Naturally, all of this was supposed to feel completely normal.
When the Pattern Becomes Visible
Eventually, the individual began to notice something interesting.
These encounters were not random.
The same types of people kept appearing in specific places at specific times, behaving in suspiciously similar ways.
Once the individual realized that everything was connected, and that this was not coincidence but part of a coordinated scheme, he decided to start speaking about it.
The Attacks Slow Down
After a while of telling the story publicly, most of the attacks began to fade away.
Most groups quietly disappeared once the spotlight appeared.
But a few groups continued their little performances.
And guess who they belonged to.
Yes—the dummy warlock himself.
Apparently, stopping at the right moment is a skill he never learned. At some point, the individual even started to admire the warlock’s persistence in continuing to make a fool of himself.
Persistence Without Awareness
Even while these lines are being written, the dummy warlock continues his attacks.
Despite having already become the town’s favorite source of entertainment, he still pushes forward as if nothing has happened.
It takes a remarkable amount of courage for people to continue destroying themselves so publicly.
Of course, that courage only makes sense if they are aware of what they are doing.
The dummy warlock, unfortunately, is not.
Sending the Clowns
His strategies vary from day to day.
One day he sends the master clown.
Another day he sends a woman to try to seduce the individual.
Eventually, he even ends up selling out the very woman he claimed to be helping.
Why?
Because the goal was never to help her.
The goal was always to break the individual, and she was merely a tool being used for that purpose.
Tools, after all, are disposable.
The Warlock’s Desperation
At some point, the warlock became so desperate that he started bragging to the individual that he had slept with the same woman he was trying to push toward him.
Apparently, he believed this would have some kind of psychological impact.
As if the individual would care whether the story was true or not.
As if he would suddenly hand his heart to a woman he already knew was working with the enemy.
A bold assumption.
Digging Deeper
When the warlock realized that the individual did not care, he tried another strategy.
He began telling him that the same woman had slept with someone else as well.
Yes, the situation had officially reached that level of desperation.
This is how far such dummies are willing to go, all while believing that nobody is noticing the spectacle.
Unfortunately for them, people are noticing.
Until the Next Part…
And with that, the story continues.
Until the next part…
