Drowned, betrayed, and humiliated—Brandon’s life ended in the most pathetic way possible. But when he opened his eyes again, he was no longer Brandon.

Reborn as Noah Weaverheart—in a novel he had read—the spoiled yet talentless son of a duchess, he quickly realizes a cruel truth: he’s nothing more than a stepping stone, fated to die in the first 30 chapters of this world’s story.

But fate isn’t set in stone.

Because he now has the Sovereign Bond System, a power that allows him to share everything from the women he bonds with—but at 10,000 times the quality.

—

[Ding! You have bonded with Neko Neko.]
[Ding! You have shared the affinity and talent of Neko Neko.]
[Ding! You have obtained the affinity: Ice (SSS rank) and the talent: Sovereign of Ice (SSS rank).]

Noah’s lips curled into a knowing smirk.

If this world wanted him to be a stepping stone, then he’d crush the so-called protagonist, steal his harem, and rewrite destiny itself.

"Transfer their talents and affinities to me," Noah ordered calmly.


[You have obtained the affinity: Destruction (SSS rank).]


[You have obtained the talent: Nothingness (EX Unique Rank).]


[You have obtained the talent: Swordsman of the Edges (EX Unique Rank).]


[Congratulations. You have obtained a Sword affinity beyond SSS rank.]


[You have completed one of the conditions required to awaken a physique.]


[Polish yourself. Sharpen yourself. Find yourself. Forge this budding physique into completion.]


In that moment, something deep within Noah shifted. A monstrous aura of destruction exploded from him, tearing apart everything nearby in his room.
