A man with a zesty look standing in front of him screamed just like a little girl who got whooped by her mom.
He said, "What are you doing in my body? Get outtt..."
PSI stood up from the bed and walked toward the strange boy. He then dashed forward and held the strange boy's neck.
As soon as he grabbed his neck, he slammed him against the wall. He then said with a calm tone, staring at the ground,
"Are you trying to die, or are you just that foolish?"
Perplexed by his own body, the soul of Yon answered, "Who are you? Aren't you a demon...?"
PSI calmed his mind, opened his eyes, and raised his head, staring at Yon.
"What do you see in my eyes? Tell me... Do you even realize these are your eyes that are screaming with rage, unlike you? I don't hide. Your body is tired of being this zesty. I know both your mind and body are against it. Tell me now why, before I erase you."
Yon felt it—the raw rage vibrating through his own body, a danger so real it reached him even as a soul.
He replied, shaking on his knees, "B-b-because o-of my powers..."
PSI said, "And that is?"
"L-U-S-T."
PSI snapped, remembering Yon's power was four letters, and it actually fit his role.
He said, "Hell nah. I should have guessed. Ha... Come over here, bitch."
He let go of him and took him to the bed.
Yon sat down at the edge of the bed and kept his head down.
PSI stood up and went to bring a chair.
Yon started murmuring, "Why is he in my body? What happened? Why am I filled with masculinity? Why the hell am I so manly? What is this, for real...? I gotta keep it low. He might be a demon... Wait, how long has he been in my body, and what has he been doing...? And did I actually get weaker because of him? Oh my God... OMG!"
PSI came back, holding the chair on this weak body's shoulders.
Yon started yapping to himself in rage.
PSI sat down on the chair and said,
"Let's start with your name and your education level. Something related. Make it casual."
Yon replied,
"My name is Yon Astria. I'm a student in the fourth greatest academy, Everlast. I have one year left before graduation, but we usually take this year as the last year since the graduation year is in the field—no more school."
PSI said,
"Good. What about your family situation?"
Yon replied,
"They abandoned me when I was twelve years old. They abandoned me once they knew my powers... and it left me broken. They gave me some money, and I'm living using that money. I have a father and mother. They are rich as hell, and my younger sister, who is as talented as a country... And I'm what they call worthless... and useless as well."
PSI said,
"The hell is wrong with you? I didn't ask your worth. I asked about your family. I know your worth. Hell, in fact, I know it more than you do. So shut the hell up and answer my question. Don't force me to filter your answers."
Yon was scared. Scared that he had already lost it. Terrified of what was happening, he went on with whatever PSI told him.
"Y-yes..."
PSI replied,
"Friendships and relationships?"
Yon answered,
"I don't have friends, but I have one guy who checks on me sometimes..."
PSI said,
"Shit! Is he a friend? Like, an actual friend who would come and save your ass anytime you wanted him to... or not? Is he or not?"
Yon's eyes filled with tears. He started sobbing like a girl.
"No... He isn't... He even bullies me. He's the worst person on the entire planet. I wish I could kill him sometimes."
PSI replied,
"Relationship?"
Yon answered,
"I have never been in a relationship before."
PSI said,
"What about your powers? Now lock in and tell me everything about them."
Yon wiped the tears from his face and said,
"My power is Lust. I can paralyze an opponent for a certain amount of time in a lustful world...
I have to act all zesty because I can't survive without having the basic essentials for my powers.
The first one is I have to get romantically rejected by so many people, and I have to be embarrassed every day, or my health status and my powers will drop.
The second one is not being able to be manly. The stronger I become, the more my lustful scent disappears, so I won't be able to paralyze them, or at least increase its possibility.
The third one is my life. It's because I cannot continue, or else I will end up becoming a lustful demon. I will eventually turn into one.
So yeah... I'm doing my best just to survive, even if it's against my life."
PSI said,
"Good. That makes me proud of you. Now you actually care about your life... Such an amazing talent. You're able to persevere through all the family issues, the bullying, plus your power's destiny shit, and still walk, eat, smile, and do the things you want. Above all, you accepted it and live like a true warrior... No self-sabotaging to the point where you want to kill yourself. You wanted to actually kill your biggest hater... That's the mindset.
You know what else you actually need to fulfill your goals and even take revenge in the best possible way...?
It's action. You need to take action."
Yon's eyes started raining tears like summertime. He couldn't hold them back anymore.
PSI stood up from the chair and went near the window. Staring down at the city, he started searching through his system.

KEY INFO UNLOCKED
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF ABILITIES. ONE IS A BLESSING. THE OTHER IS A CURSE.
LUST IS A CURSE. IT'S A PARASITE CURSE.
THE RULES AND THE WARNING APPLY TO THE USER, BUT THE LUSTFUL ACTIONS, WISHES, AND DREAMS CAN BE DRAWN FROM ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL.
PSI read it, skimming through it, and reflected on his thoughts.
There must be a way...
He can actually not be zesty and find his zesty behaviors from other people's dreams, romantic memories, and even concepts of them.
That's why his power is considered a parasite.
As far as I'm concerned, his power doesn't limit him and force him to show those behaviors. He is just surviving because he can only drain such behaviors from himself.
Such drained memories, feelings, and dreams are his power. They will instantly become his strength.
In that case... why don't we go to a succubus and find out how strong we can be?
