I'm on the Ark, and I started as a succubus.

028 W-chan, oh W-chan~

Is there something wrong with the alcohol?

As time went on, W felt that the agonizing heat had subsided, but instead it was intensifying, almost burning and melting away her reason.

W rolled over again, almost instinctively breathing with her mouth slightly closed. Perhaps because of the cold weather in Ursus and her relatively high body temperature, her breath emitted a noticeable white mist.

"Woo...woo-ha~"

W swallowed hard, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she pursed her lips, letting out a rare, shy whimper.

Bai Chen's image flashed through W's mind, and she suddenly felt that the aura emanating from the Sarkaz who claimed to work for His Highness was scorching hot. Then, her clear thoughts brought back the scenes from the bar—

—The drinks should be fine.

There was absolutely no need for that. If they really wanted to harm her, that powerful Sarkaz could have easily tied her up and subdued her completely.

"Ha ha…?"

W opened her red eyes, which were misty and wet, and her lips trembled as if shaking.

After a short while, she propped herself up and shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off the strange thoughts in her mind.

She sat up, reached for the water bottle next to her, and took a few big gulps. The warm water brought a slight coolness, making her feel a little better.

W crossed her legs, which were covered by tight leather pants, and sat cross-legged for a while. Suddenly, she felt that unbearable feeling rise up in her heart again. In addition to the heat, there was a feeling that was particularly indescribable.

It's unbearable.

But as a gentle breeze blew by, she suddenly felt a little cold.

That strange feeling of heat didn't seem to come from body temperature.

"Damn it."

W gave up on finding ways to make herself feel better and, sitting cross-legged, threw herself heavily onto the bed.

She felt that the side effects of Oripathy had flared up again. Oripathy had been affecting her all along. Although she didn't feel much of it most of the time, it would silently strike her when she completely stopped paying attention to it, reminding her that she was now a poor Oripathy patient.

The pain was so intense it felt like her lungs were being torn apart; the pain was so intense that she broke out in a cold sweat and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up; or she experienced alternating chills and fever, her mind so foggy that all she wanted to do was lie down and sleep.

W reached out again, hooked the leather pants he had pulled down, and, clinging to a sliver of hope, smuggled them into a hidden pocket.

It's empty; there's nothing there.

Not to mention a complete cure for Oripathy, even the kind of medicine that can alleviate the symptoms... or even just ordinary pain-relieving drugs, are difficult for Sarkaz mercenaries to obtain.

She used the last, precious dose of the suppressant to amuse a mercenary who was so miserable that he shoved his head into an ice cave.

"Damn it, what a waste of my medicine."

W gritted his teeth and cursed. That idiot finally died, at the hands of other Sarkaz mercenaries. The idiot's head exploded.

"It would have been better to just freeze them to dust in the snow back then!"

W started cursing loudly at the ceiling.

She felt increasingly uncomfortable; she felt hot at the same time, yet also cold, experiencing alternating sensations of hot and cold.

As time went by, W gradually felt that something was not quite right. She felt a nagging, tormenting sensation that was becoming less and less like the symptoms of Oripathy.

So sad……

W slightly opened and closed her mouth to breathe, sat quietly for a while, then leaned back onto the bed, trying to fall asleep and not feel anything anymore.

"Hiss... I'm so thirsty..."

W turned her head to look at the bedside table next to her, then forced herself to get up and reach for the kettle next to her. After getting up and taking a few more gulps of water, she finally felt a little better.

But she only felt better for a short while. Just as she was about to lie back down and fall asleep, she suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable again.

This feeling is...

W vaguely realized what was going on with her situation.

How...how could this be?

No, how could this be?!

How could you think of such a thing!

W struggled with her thoughts for a while, then reason overwhelmed her once again, and she reluctantly and shakily reached out her hand.

dong dong——

The knocking startled W, causing her to instinctively pull the covers over herself and pretend to be asleep.

This kind of thing, no matter who sees it, is unacceptable!

Froststar walked into the room with a sullen face, glanced at W who was pretending to be asleep, and said, "Miss W, stop pretending. I know you're not asleep."

She silently took out the belt she used to restrain people, walked up to W, and without saying much, with the intention of getting things over with quickly, chose to attack W directly to avoid further pangs of conscience.

That bastard gave her a choice: either tie up this newly tricked Sarkaz, or he would tie her up and make her bear everything.

That almost devastating feeling left a deep impression on Frostnova. She, she... she shamefully gave in, going against her conscience to do evil for that bastard, just like that pointy-eared fairy back then, becoming a despicable accomplice.

W felt her wrist being gripped and instinctively struggled, only to be horrified to find that her body was so limp that she couldn't muster any strength. The soft massage seemed less like a struggle or resistance and more like a reluctant acceptance.

"Let go, get out of the way..."

She wanted to shout, but then she realized that her voice was weak and feeble, even with a hint of coquettish softness.

With her arms twisted behind her back and the handcuffs fastened, W suddenly looked up and glared at Frostnova. "Let go!"

Froststar showed no emotion, but suddenly tightened the leather strap, wrapped her arm around W's armpit, and dragged her onto the chair, binding her completely.

"That will be fine tomorrow night."

She glanced at W and said casually, "It might be a little uncomfortable before then."

Froststar stood there staring at W for a while, then gently closed her eyes and said softly, "It's a medicine for treating Oripathy. The side effects might be severe and difficult to endure, but once you get through them, it will feel better."

W didn't answer, but just breathed heavily, a thin layer of sweat appearing on her face and soaking through her hair, making her look extremely disheveled.

"Your Oripathy is already very serious. The Oripathy crystals have spread extensively throughout your body. If it continues to worsen, you could die at any time."

Froststar coldly recited the prepared lines, then turned and swiftly fled the room, closing the door behind her and silently blaming herself.

Just this once, just this once... and she was only pretending to be a snake, that's all, and she didn't think milk was the most delicious thing in the world.

W cursed for a while in the room, but his voice gradually softened, as if all his strength had been drained away.

That feeling was so tormenting... that even Princess Theresa didn't want to pay attention to it anymore!

And so, W-chan, who came knocking on the door, was simply left unattended.

029 It's always the scum who makes the Sarkaz girl take the hits with the city cannons~

Bai Chen was in a good mood.

He bullied Frostnova, the white rabbit who refused to obediently change into her maid outfit, and also took a jab at the unruly W-chan. The ever-increasing points on the system made him extremely happy.

He didn't mean to prank or torment W; it's just that W's Oripathy needed timely treatment.

So, when he carried W back to the chair, he also fed him a little bit of his own blood.

Just like the character design of the 'Doctor' that was discussed in the group, his blood can also be used to suppress or even treat Oripathy.

However, after he was forcibly transformed into a succubus by the system, his blood experienced severe side effects.

【Blood of the Succubus】Just hearing this name tells you what it is and what kind of strong side effects it will have.

On the contrary, his [Ten Drops of Succubus Blood] did not have this effect; in fact, it even provided a slight inhibitory effect. However, its function was to make neurons more sensitive, allowing them to experience unlimited pleasure.

Bai Chen managed to get this effect from the system by arguing that "this would reduce his points in the future." Otherwise, as a higher-level [Ten Drops of Succubus Blood], its effects would actually be even stronger and more terrifying.

It's the kind of thing that's instantly destroyed with the slightest touch, turning into a strange, unrecognizable shape.

This side effect is limited to beautiful girls, and his blood is basically only used to treat the beautiful girls' Oripathy.

It's not that it no longer has the effect of suppressing or treating Oripathy; the effect of treating Oripathy is still retained. It's just that it has extremely strong side effects on other illicit targets.

It's no longer like the effect of computer accessories, but rather... well, how should I put it?

From a scientific perspective, it can produce a large-scale biochemical event that directly activates serum receptors on the postsynaptic membrane of organic life, causing the brain's nervous system to operate at an excessive frequency, dragging the organism into a distorted and dangerous mental world that is detached from reality. Emotions, feelings, sensations, and perceptions will be amplified countless times until the organism dies.

In layman's terms, this phenomenon is generally referred to as "chemical ecstasy" or "chemical ascension."

……

……

Walking into the luxurious suite on the upper level of the landship, Bai Chen hummed a strange little tune as he searched for the figure of the beautiful and youthful Sarkaz girl.

Through his experience of carrying W back to the chair, he gained a preliminary understanding of the negative effects of the new ability, [Time Stop].

To be precise, it's not a true stop in time, but rather the creation of a time dimension where one is alone with the beautiful girl. In that time dimension, time is relatively stopped, and when the ability is activated, this extra time dimension bubble will accelerate and splice back into the normal time dimension.

Bai Chen felt it was powerful enough, considering it was a newly acquired ability, only at level 1, and hadn't been enhanced with system points yet. Once enhanced, it would probably become an incredibly powerful ability.

However, he had no intention of upgrading it. The desire value of this ability had increased too rapidly, and it could basically only be used to deal with beautiful girls.

Under the machinations of his broken system, the system points upgrade abilities only enhance the effects and never reduce the increase in desires.

They were afraid that he wouldn't go out to play with pretty girls, but instead would do something like ruling the world.

"Damn it, I've become Rambo."

Bai Chen pushed open the door and walked into the secondary hall. The central heating in the room had been turned off, and the fireplace inside was used to provide warmth instead.

Sarkaz, that's the kind of vibe she likes.

The warm orange glow of the firewood, the subtle crackling as it burned, and the soft rustling of falling snow complemented each other.

This atmosphere made her feel that the world had quieted down, so quiet that she should stay indoors to keep warm, not go anywhere, not have to run around or be busy, and certainly not have to pick up a weapon to fight.

"This kind of weather is perfect for staying in bed and sleeping in!"

The beautiful and youthful Sarkaz girl, failing to fulfill her duty as the head maid by arriving on time to offer her morning bites, always spouts her usual refrain with conviction.

Bai Chen spotted Ni Yan on the sofa near the fireplace.

The beautiful and youthful Sarkaz girl is entertaining herself.

Hmm~ It literally means "amusing oneself," without any ambiguity!

Those who have misunderstood are all bad people who won't get into heaven.
