One of the traits of Frenzy is that actions from the current month tend to accumulate in intensity.
For example, during Frenzy A, using blood amplifies the intensity of the Frenzy.
Of course, using a little—like during the Dantalion incident—causes no issues. But excessive use can trigger blood surges in multiple areas, sotis spreading the tattoos on my body, leading to a mini-Frenzy. Lately, I’d been limiting my abilities, mainly because of the Otherworlders, but it wasn't just for show.
Even though I could manage with holy water, the side effects were undeniable.
The sa goes for Frenzy B, though it’s sowhat different—it responds to the emotions I felt that month.
For instance, if anger was the dominant emotion, I’d experience intense rage during the Frenzy. If I’d felt loneliness, then I’d be flooded with loneliness. Anxiety? Then Frenzy B would make feel profoundly anxious. It wasn't always the case, but the tendency was strong.
This month had been rather eventful. I’d moved back from the pit to the cave, a bounty was placed on my head, I’d briefly taken in a “feisty pet” nad Happy, and, of course, there had been that little incident earlier today.
It had been a relatively peaceful yet chaotic month, and Frenzy B could latch onto this emotional rollercoaster with eerie precision.
"Surrender your body to …"
As the Frenzy Moon rose, my emotions started swinging wildly.
Thump-thump!
My heart pounded fiercely, my body heating up. Lustful thoughts surged, and I felt the blood pooling below.
Once again, the the of this Frenzy was lust.
To be fair, it made sense, considering the number of stimulating things I’d seen recently.
Keeping Happy around had been a significant factor. After all, she was a striking beauty. With her bound in my ho for five days, I’d been constantly exposed to visual temptation. And I hadn’t relieved myself once, so it was only natural that my the for the Frenzy would settle on lust.
“Huff… Huff…”
I forced myself to stay still, refusing to undress.
Managing my stamina was crucial, and honestly, the thought of going multiple rounds without anything to focus on left feeling pitiful. Though I knew what the future held, I planned to resist for as long as I could.
anwhile, the demon's voice continued.
"How long do you plan to stay hidden here? You’re well past your pri. It’s about ti you went out and t soone."
The tone reminded of a nagging mother.
"Well, I’d love to, if not for soone keeping here."
I grumbled, and he continued.
"Let take over. Surrender your body to , and I’ll fulfill your desires."
The usual temptation, promising to fulfill my desires. For a mont, it stirred sothing within . But I already knew my answer.
“…No.”
The consequences were all too obvious if I gave in to him.
Ti dragged on, and the temptation grew increasingly hard to bear.
As the heat coursed through , I found myself removing my shirt, feeling feverish and slightly dazed.
With no other distractions in the cave, my imagination drifted in familiar directions. I could only draw upon what I’d actually seen in reality.
Yoo Chae-rin, Im Ha-neul… a few mories from past videos. Then back to Yoo Chae-rin and Im Ha-neul…
A guilty pang hit for using people I knew in my fantasies, but enduring Frenzy B demanded it. A strange thrill of sha even added to the intensity.
As much as I hated to admit it, the demon had a point. I was long past my youth. In this world, people often married the mont they beca adults, yet here I was, still clinging to my so-called “virtue.” Sothing must be wrong.
But I felt my frustration growing. Was it my fault?
This was all because of demonic blood that kept from fitting in with others.
‘Just wait…’
If the opportunity ca, I’d gladly make the most of it.
…Though maybe my logic was slipping under the influence of Frenzy.
As I grappled with these conflicting urges—
“Um… Yor? Are you in there?”
A familiar voice echoed from the entrance, and a figure entered the cave.
It was Yoo Chae-rin.
The first thing she noticed upon entering was the stifling heat and an odd, sticky atmosphere, sothing unexplainable lingering in the air. Though everything looked normal, there was a strange tension she couldn’t shake off.
Puzzled, she continued inside. She’d co all this way and couldn’t simply turn back. Plus, she worried about him enduring the Frenzy alone.
Before long, she caught sight of .
Sensing her approach, I moved toward her. But as she drew closer, her face registered shock.
‘W-What?’
Unlike usual, I was shirtless.
The sight of my defined abs hit her squarely. She noticed my labored breaths, and my eyes, unfocused, held a haze. It was clear that I wasn’t in a normal state.
But thankfully, I wasn’t covered in blood as she’d feared.
‘So, this must be a ntal Frenzy…’
I didn’t seem to be in physical pain, which was a relief, but I did look a bit tense.
All Chae-rin knew about Frenzy B was that it typically involved anger.
She had no idea it could amplify other emotions—especially lust—since I’d never bothered to explain that part to her.
So, oblivious to my current state, she froze as I spoke in a voice deeper than usual.
“…Why are you here?”
“Oh, well…”
“I thought I told you not to co.”
“I’m sorry. I was worried, so I ca to check on you.”
Her voice was laced with anxiety. Perhaps it was the tense atmosphere, or maybe she mistook my deanor as anger. Either way, she felt on edge, like prey before a predator.
anwhile, my focus shifted elsewhere.
Her physique was undeniably eye-catching. Normally, I noticed these things in passing, but in the throes of Frenzy, she drew my attention with remarkable intensity.
With sumr approaching, her outfit was notably lighter—a cropped shirt exposing her navel, leather shorts, and a few pieces of leather armor. As a thief, she prioritized mobility, which ant her clothing accentuated her curves.
“A-And…”
As I wrestled with my desires, she spoke again.
Ti hadn’t stopped, even as I silently observed her.
Unable to bear the silence, she broke it.
“I also wanted to apologize again for what happened earlier today.”
“…”
“I know you said it was fine, but… it didn’t feel right to just leave it like that…”
I looked at her quietly.
On any other day, I might’ve brushed it off. I’d already accepted her apology; I wasn’t the type to dwell on such things.
But under Frenzy’s influence, my response ca out differently.
“You’re right. It’s not sothing I can just overlook.”
I continued, my words surprising even myself.
“If you’ve seen soone else naked, shouldn’t you show yourself in return?”
“W-What?”
“Take it off.”
She froze, stunned. She’d expected a scolding, but not… this.
Had she misheard him? Or was this so sort of joke?
But Yor’s gaze was dead serious.
His breathing was still heavy, his eyes hazy and unreadable.
“What are you waiting for? Go on.”
Intimidated by the pressure, Chae-rin found herself obeying.
‘I guess… he must be really mad because of Frenzy.’
As she slowly complied, her leather armor and shoes ca off, one piece at a ti.
Finally, she was left in her cropped top and shorts. She hesitated.
Taking off her armor was one thing, but anything beyond that would expose her undergarnts. No matter how tough she was, showing her underwear to soone else was embarrassing.
Her cheeks flushed as she looked at him, silently questioning if he truly wanted her to go that far.
But there was no hesitation in Yor’s gaze. In fact, his restraint was nearing its limit.
He’d held out as long as he could. Any further hesitation felt absurd.
After all, she was the one who’d co uninvited in the dead of night.
“What, can’t do it alone? Then let help.”
Without waiting, he stepped forward and tugged her shirt off in one swift motion.
“Ah!”
With a startled cry, her ample chest ca into view, barely contained by a lacy bra. The visual stimulation pushed his desire further.
The sudden touch left Chae-rin in shock. She quickly realized that sothing was very wrong.
‘Wait… could it be that Frenzy affects more than just anger?’
Thinking back, his breathing did seem… different, almost like soone aroused.
Though he’d shed his shirt too, she hadn’t thought much of it until now.
Then, a small system window appeared before her.
[Would you like to unlock 19 mode?]
[YES/NO]
The system seed to pick up on the mood and automatically brought up the prompt.
Seeing her glance at the screen, Yor asked, feigning ignorance.
“Is sothing popping up?”
“Oh, um… yes, it’s…”
He cut her off.
“Turn it on. Right now.”
At his command, her heart began to pound.
