Harem Stealer: Reborn with the God-Tier Sharing System novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Elira Varnis, The Vulgar Woman

Chapter 53— Elira, you vulgar woman

Noah looked at the small stone in his hand. It seemed like nothing more than an ordinary rock—so plain, it was hard to believe it could awaken something as rare as a soul affinity.

He glanced at his master, frowning.

"How can this help me awaken an affinity? Especially something as rare as soul affinity?"

"You really know nothing about this world—or the ones beyond," Elira replied with a sigh. "That stone was found in an ancient ruin. I nearly died retrieving it, so make good use of it."

She paused, letting the weight of her words settle, before continuing.

"Don’t limit your perception. Not born with an affinity—or not the one you want? That doesn’t mean you’re stuck. You can gain one later—either through the Akashic Records or through rare treasures like this."

"That’s why I want you to explore the world. The academy is useful for building a foundation, and the missions will help you learn more, but..."

She locked eyes with him.

"One day, go beyond. Be free. Unfettered. Discover everything."

"Accomplish incredible feats. Make your name known."

She smiled faintly.

"I want my legacy to reach the very top. So make it happen, dear disciple."

Noah listened intently, then nodded with a serious expression.

"Don’t worry. I will."

"And incredible feats? Please, Master—you know me by now. I’m already challenging the world’s chosen one. You think I’m afraid of a few achievements?"

He smirked.

"So how about this: stage one of spreading your legacy—defeating the champion?"

Elira returned his smirk. "I’d love that, dear disciple."

They exchanged a devilish grin.

"Now awaken your affinity," she said. "Just crush the stone."

"Got it."

Noah crushed it in his hand. Immediately, a strange force surged into his body.

His entire frame tensed. His limbs trembled. His eyes went wide as he began to see it—wisps of ethereal energy. Souls. Or at least, soul force.

Inside him, a new affinity was awakening. Compared to his others, it felt weak at first. Incomplete.

But his nature wouldn’t accept that.

[Your title "Limitless" is acting.]

His aura surged, wrapping around the fledgling soul affinity—stretching it, empowering it. Making it... excessive. Boundless.

Limitless.

Minutes passed.

Finally, the transformation ended.

Noah lay on his back, breathing hard.

"So," she murmured, "what rank did you get?"

He glanced at the system panel and smiled.

[You have awakened the affinity: Soul (SSS rank)]

"SSS rank, it seems."

Elira raised her eyebrows. "I expected SS at best... but I keep forgetting—you’re an anomaly."

She pulled out a book and handed it to him.

Soulcraft: The Queen’s Gasp.

"This is my personal soul manipulation skill. I created it after hundreds of years of study and experimentation. Treasure it."

"With this, you’ll be able to see souls, touch them, manipulate them however you wish. Your only limit... is your imagination."

"Oh—and yes, it’s an SSS-rank acquired skill. Genius, I know."

Noah tilted his head playfully. "Wait, did you just say hundreds of years? Master, how old are—?"

He stopped.

Because he felt the killing intent.

"You really got that from everything I just said?" she asked coldly. "Do you want to die?"

Noah swallowed hard. "I-I mean—you must be a timeless beauty...ageless, elegant...like an ancient moon goddess or something...."

He flashed the same sweet, innocent smile he used to give his mother whenever he’d messed up.

Elira clicked her tongue. "Start practicing."

"You’ll train with me every night. Don’t forget."

She sat down—seemingly in mid-air.

Noah tilted his head. "Uh..."

"It’s a space chair. You can’t see it because you’re too weak. Don’t bother."

Noah wisely shut his mouth and started training.

But fatigue caught up with him. After everything he’d done today, exhaustion settled deep into his bones.
