HAREM STEALER: REBORN WITH THE GOD-TIER SHARING SYSTEMC326: Wretched Worms
Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Wretched Worms
Chapter 326 – Wretched worms
Lady of Thorn shuddered at Noah's mischievous voice as she tried to take a step back, away from him.
But Noah was still holding tightly her two hands like a lover — as if unwilling to let her go — but the two of them knew better. Lady of Thorn would have ripped apart her two arms just to get as far away from this smiling monster if she could.
But her brain had been deeply wounded, a part of it bent like twisted steel. Her eyes were hazy, unable to distinguish between objective reality and imagined reality.
Blood flowed through her whole body like a cascade of crimson, plunging the ground into a shroud of lamentable gore.
She was a hair's breadth from dying. And she knew, if Noah struck her with his fate ability, then her death would be permanent. At that thought, she couldn't help but shudder in dread.
Her heart brimmed with fear for the smiling bastard in front of her, his face ridiculously beautiful even with her blood drenching his features.
"W-Who... who are you?" she stammered with her splintered lips.
Noah held her fearful gaze for a brief second before he parted his bloodied lips, his voice holding a note of amusement.
"Noah Vaelgrim."
...
The sound of destruction around the world started to lessen. The unstable and cracking space began to slowly repair itself. Time seemed to reappear again, taking its normal course.
The few surviving mortals sat there on the cracked ground, surrounded by the shredded rubble of their homes. Their eyes rose to the sky, questioning the fairness of the world.
But they should have known better.
This was a wicked universe where the strong had the right to do anything they pleased... simply because they were strong. Even if it meant destroying an entire realm just to kill a single person.
Yes, it was villainous, or simply unscrupulous.
The siblings should have thought better than to discard the lives of those mortals, should have tried to limit their fight so that they would be safe.
Why not?
If they had wanted, they could have done it easily. But the issue was, neither of them thought about it.
And you couldn't blame them.
They had been divine for so long, holding such boundless power, that there were just some things you stopped paying attention to.
Like the lives of miserable mortals who could be erased with only a snort.
It was the bitter truth.
And as Noah stood weightless high in the air amidst the crimson-stained sky, listening to their pleas, looking at their tears of blood shimmering down their cheeks and feeling anguish and hatred flare like incandescent fire inside their beings... he couldn't help but shake his head lightly in misery and pity.
With his eyes, he could already see some special ones among them, hearts burning hot with vengeance, carrying the seed of power to become a true nuisance to him and his siblings.
He didn't know what to do with them. He would have loved to kill them directly and take hold of their souls under his control...
'But that would have been too unjust, right' He mused with a slight chuckle before turning his head to the right, sparing a glance at his sister Aurelia.
"What do you think about it?" he asked directly, not even bothering to explain the meaning behind his question.
But Aurelia didn't need it. Her own eyes were glowing searing gold, making the very space in front of her distort and shimmer in dread.
She observed silently, then spoke: "What do you wish to do?" she asked.
Noah tilted his head in an inquiring manner, his shoulder-length silver hair brushing softly against his face, giving him a sudden unholy beauty that even made Aurelia pause a little, caught by the sight of Noah's face.
If Noah noticed her expression, he didn't show it, his own expression unmoving.
Aurelia took hold of herself after a moment, inwardly feeling a sense of relief that Noah hadn't noticed.
'What's wrong with you!' she berated herself, ashamed to have acted like this.
Sighing to gather her emotions, she explained her previous words more clearly: "I asked what you wish to do to them..."
"...because we will do exactly that." she said with a shrug.
"It doesn't matter if they grow enough to become an issue to us. Well, even 'issue' is too big a word. They would be, at best, some wretched worms trying to stand against primordial serpents just because they can slither."
She fixed her immaculate golden eyes on his white-threaded runic ones,
"And they would be shredded into a cascade of spilled organs, blood, muscle and flesh with our fangs if they ever dared."
She paused, letting her words sink deep inside Noah's head.
"All that to say... whatever you choose, it doesn't matter." she finished, then waited for Noah's answer.
And his answer came fast.
Noah only asked out of courtesy, mindful of his sister. After all, he didn't know her well enough yet to predict her actions.
But truthfully, he really didn't care that much about any of this.
True he felt pity, but he knew better than letting his emotions uncontrolled.
So without waiting, he raised his right hand at eye level, then clenched it. A cataract of invisible threads boomed out through the healing sky of the realm and wove themselves into a vast tapestry of threads.
Even Aurelia didn't see anything.
This was Noah's Providence. It could be seen only by him.
He raised a finger and started to slice some threads as if cutting ropes with a scissor.
Across the realm, people started to drop dead, their bodies evaporating like mist under a howling wind, their very memories erased from reality.
No one would remember them... except Noah, and Aurelia who was strong enough to retain her memories of them.
But that didn't lessen her shock as she sensed what happened. She snapped her head toward Noah, eyes wide.
Noah spared her a soft smile,
"I hate loose ends," he breathed as his hand passed through his silky silver hair, pulling it back.
"Anything can happen in this universe, so better to end things thoroughly to avoid unwanted consequences later."
Aurelia nodded, understanding clearly.
After that, they disappeared from the sky and reappeared inside a vast luxurious bedchamber where Lady of Thorn and Neron were indeed bound, blood still pouring from their bodies.
Asaemon was sitting before them, cross-legged on a chair made of twisted and mangled flesh.
Sensing the arrival of his siblings, he snapped his head toward them eagerly, before a beaming voice spread through the enclosed room.
"About damn time!"

HAREM STEALER: REBORN WITH THE GOD-TIER SHARING SYSTEMC327: Tell me.
Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Tell me.
Chapter 327 – Tell me.
The room was truly a luxurious one. It was spacious, the ground shrouded by a beautiful green carpet with thorns intertwined with branches of trees sensually designated all over it.
Each side of the walls was stamped with portraits of Neron and The Lady of Thorn, looking all loving and happy.
On the ceiling, there was a chandelier in the form of a blooming thorn, reflecting a soft but bright grey light across the floor.
In the middle of this sumptuous room was an enormous bed made of wood that shimmered with green light, covered in silky bedsheets, with a desk at its side.
On the bed, there were some... cuffs and also a short staff perfect for spanking.
Noah and his two siblings sat side by side in this room, each of them with their own chair.
Noah's chair was made of white-silver threads woven together, Asaemon's of flesh twitching like hungry maggots, and Aurelia's of golden wood that shimmered with an awe-inspiring glow.
They faced the chained and bleeding couple.
Neron looked at them with deep scorn and disgust on his face, his expression twisted into one of profound rage.
"You will regret all of this." He said, then fixed his heated gaze on Asaemon, "You know who I am. And you still dare to attack me?"
He chuckled coldly.
"Do you wish for death? Or do you think because of your status no one will dare to touch you?"
Asaemon was grinning as he heard Neron's words, then shrugged with complete indifference. "Maybe I will die, but you..."
His grin stretched sharper.
"...you are definitely going to die. No maybe. No perhaps. No 'if the gods will.'"
Lady of Thorn beside him quivered at the certainty dripping behind Asaemon's words. She looked at him, her eyes pleading, as she parted her bleeding lips, "W-why? Is it because I have rejected you?" She couldn't help but inquire.
They hadn't done anything to anyone.
They were just living their lives, so why were these two abominations here?
And who was the third one?
Her brain immediately paused on that thought.
'Third one...? Third abomination?' She immediately snapped her head toward Noah, finding him smiling like a devil, his sinister eyes locking into her yellow-grey ones.
He slowly raised his hand and put a single finger on his lips, telling her to stay quiet.
She looked around, and no one seemed to have noticed this exchange between them.
She shuddered.
Wings of fear fluttered inside her being as she realized the truth.
This man called Noah Vaelgrim was the third abomination.
Asaemon's voice pulled her away from her fearful thoughts, echoing with amusement inside her head,
"Well not really. Your husband told me some disrespectful things I couldn't accept. So I decided to kill him." He said with a beaming laugh before continuing.
"...well that was the initial reason. But it's no more. We are here because the youngest has some blood feud with your husband." He pointed at Noah, making him immediately the center of attention.
Noah's smile didn't waver under the sudden shift. Instead, it deepened as he locked his gaze on Neron.
"I have a question for you, if you don't mind me asking." He said, his voice deceptively polite.
Neron immediately frowned, sensing something wrong about all this. He stayed silent, glaring at Noah with scorn, refusing to answer.
Aurelia was watching all this with her usual calm, not saying anything.
Neron looked quite confident for a being in front of three abominations, but Noah could understand why.
'Luelle gives you this much confidence, huh.' He mused, finding it almost funny.
He turned his gaze toward Lady of Thorn and smirked, "You seem to love each other very much... can you bear the sight of her being... I don't know? Maybe cut into thousands of pieces?"
He said while holding his chin in a pensive manner.
Neron gritted his teeth, about to snarl, but Noah didn't give him the chance. He immediately appeared in front of Lady of Thorn who yelped in horror and fear as Noah touched her cheeks gently, almost lovingly — and that was exactly what made her recoil in dread.
"Your husband said cut into thousands of pieces is nothing much, not satisfying for him. But I thought, why not show him how much you love him?"
"Do you know how?" He asked.
She shook her head rapidly, body trembling.
Neron looked at this scene with anger boiling inside him like a hot kettle of water.
"LEAVE HER!" He shouted loudly, as he tried to approach Noah but only fell face-first because of his bindings, courtesy of Aurelia.
"Ouch! Must hurt, right? I put inside you one of my buddies to eat at your power. Like it?" Asaemon said as he raised his finger upward, showing a crimson leech shifting sluggishly around it.
Neron growled like a cornered beast.
"Do you mind if I open your chest, and show him how your heart beats only for him... even when I crush it down?" Noah continued, looking like a third-rate villain.
He didn't like it, but sometimes... sometimes you had to act like a true villain.
And indeed, as Lady of Thorn heard him, she snapped her head toward Neron, pleading with her eyes for him to cooperate.
Gritting his teeth until they cracked, Neron spoke, "What... what are your questions?" He uttered with difficulty.
Noah smiled and shifted his attention back to him.
"Klaus Worldborn and Orien Worldborn..." he said, making Neron's eyes widen, "do these names sound familiar?"
"How... how do you know them?" He blurted out.
Noah smirked darkly, "How are they doing?" He asked, ignoring his question.
Neron didn't want to respond, but with Noah's hand still on Lady of Thorn and slowly sliding down toward her throat...
"Good..." Neron scowled.
"You know, the two of them have taken something very important to me. Something that even if I have managed to take it back..."
He paused, his words carrying a dark, angry edge.
"...it isn't the same anymore."
He stood up and approached the fallen Neron.
"Tell me, what is the thing they love the most?"
"What is the thing they hold so dear in their hearts that taking it from them would be more painful than even killing them?"
He paused, Aurelia's and Asaemon's faces turning cold and dark as they felt the intense emotion of anger thundering through Noah's whole chest.
"Tell me..." he spoke again, the whole room detonated in bursts of deafening explosions, as his simple voice tore apart reality itself, causing splintered rocks to fly all around them.
Lady of Thorn shivered.
Aurelia and Asaemon stayed silent, watching.
Neron was shaking as Noah's eyes bored deep into him while he finished his words,
"...how can I slaughter all of you in the most painful way possible?"

HAREM STEALER: REBORN WITH THE GOD-TIER SHARING SYSTEMC328: Dark.
Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Dark.
Chapter 328 – Dark.
Neron was unable to move as Noah's eyes bore into his own. He felt like his whole being was being studied, like a bundle of threads slowly being unraveled.
At that moment, he couldn't help but open his mouth to respond to this monstrous man, with every ounce of sincerity he could muster.
"M-Mother..." he rasped.
Noah's expression didn't change. He just looked at him, coldly.
"M-Mother Tree... if you harm Mother Tree... if you take her away from us..." his voice trembled with a deep tremor as he struggled to continue his words.
At that moment every fiber of his being was revolting against him. Because what he was about to say was the greatest sacrilege that could ever be uttered from the mouth of a Worldborn.
But he didn't have a choice. There was something about Noah's eyes that promised him pain beyond belief if he ever dared not to respond.
So he did...
He committed heresy.
"...take Mother Tree from us, kill her, and that pain would be worse than the very death of the universe for us, Worldborn."
Lady of Thorn looked at her husband with deep sorrowed eyes. She understood how much it took for him to utter these words, because she knew how much Luelle meant to him — or to any Worldborn.
She was their world, their light and guide... the very reason they were what they were.
She bit her lip tightly, looking at her husband trembling on the ground like a dog before a ferocious wolf,
"...h-husband..." she whimpered.
Aurelia and Asaemon looked silently at the scene, their expressions serious.
They were not surprised to hear Neron's response, it was obvious. Killing Luelle would be something that every Worldborn would feel deep inside their hearts.
But that was the exact problem. Let's forget about killing her, even being close to her was not something they were able to do without the consent of Luelle.
So for now, there was no need to entertain these thoughts.
But Noah...
...well, Noah could be quite sinister if he wanted.
He knew he couldn't touch Luelle right now. And even if he was able to, Noah was no longer satisfied with just a simple killing.
Before all of them became forgotten in the river of time, they would have to bear the sight of the one they all held dear, deep inside their bones... transformed into something entirely different.
Something profane, unholy.
Something never seen before.
They would weep in agony, in pain, in sorrow — and Noah would relish in their suffering.
Because they started it.
He didn't.
He was just living his life with his family and his friend Laeh. And they came to destroy the world just because they could?
Fine, fair enough.
But they better not cry tears of blood, and not whimper when he struck back.
Gathering his turbulent emotions, Noah spared Neron an indifferent look before shifting his attention toward Lady of Thorn.
He approached her, leaving behind the shriveling Neron, as he looked deep into her yellow-grey eyes.
He smiled. A warm smile so different from what he had just shown that Lady of Thorn was confused and afraid.
What type of being could change mood this fast?
Being with Noah was like walking on a thin line... one wrong step and you would be devoured by a bottomless abyss.
"I forgot to ask your name... or is Lady of Thorn your real one?" Noah said, his voice carrying a joking note.
It was eerie.
Aurelia looked at Noah with sparkling eyes. There was something about him that made her remember one of her favorite genres in books...
...dark romance.
She found Noah eerily similar to the men in that genre, and something fluttered inside her as she observed this interaction with focused eyes and a giddy heart.
It was like a reader finally inside the world of her favorite novel, watching the interactions of her favorite characters face to face.
It was a blissful sensation Aurelia finally came to feel.
Asaemon meanwhile was watching with a wide smile, looking like a proud elder brother as he saw his youngest dominating the field.
He was even shaking, trying his best not to act loud and ruin this epic moment of his brother...
...not knowing that this was simply the usual for Noah.
"Lea..." Lady of Thorn answered, "my name is Lea."
Noah tilted his head, something stirred inside his heart. Her name was strangely similar to Laeh's.
He would have believed in coincidence.
But for a bearer of Providence to believe in coincidence... that would be the greatest joke in the history of realities.
He became intrigued, and planned to look into it later but for now...
"You already know my name, so there's no need to present myself again." He said, pausing briefly, watching Lea's eyes cloud with apprehension...
He continued.
"I don't need to explain your current situation, do I?"
She nodded weakly.
Noah gave a mock beaming smile, "Perfect! Then you have two choices — or not, you only have one choice, Lea. If you want to get out of this situation with the least pain possible, that is." He said, raising a single finger pointed upward in the air, in front of Lea.
Again, she nodded, swallowed an inaudible gulp of saliva as bad feelings curled up inside her being, slid toward her soul, and sucked anything alive out of her like voracious leeches.
And that harrowing feeling only intensified when Noah's voice rang out, filled with peaceful warmth that reminded you of summer.
But Lea didn't feel like that.
She felt like the cold dread of a the north.
"Take this blade, and pierce it directly inside the heart of your husband while looking him in the eyes," he said, raising his palm upward as a long sword of white-silver threads wove itself out of thin air.
Anyone weaker than the Law Creator rank who dared to gaze upon this blade would feel their entire being unravel, piece by piece, like a puzzle scattered into oblivion, left hollow and incomplete... for this blade was not forged of steel or flame, but woven from the Law of Providence itself.
Noah took this blade and presented it to Lea.
She sat there, on the ground, amidst shredded rocks, body quivering like a vibrator, eyes wide and dilated as they gazed blankly at Noah and his sword.
Her mouth opened and closed, no sound escaping, looking like her mind had short-circuited.
Neron immediately raised his head as he heard Noah's voice, looking at him with eyes filled with unbelievable shock.
Asaemon's shaking increased, looking like he was no longer able to keep himself from acting overexcited, but he managed to hold it in.
And as for Aurelia...
She simply gazed at Noah's back with sparkling eyes like she was seeing an idol, and those feelings intensified, as his voice booming out again,
"Go, Lea. Go and kill him."
He paused, then smiled softly, his eyes squinting into crescents.
"Kill your husband for me, my dear."
...at this, Aurelia's soul nearly burst in euphoria.

HAREM STEALER: REBORN WITH THE GOD-TIER SHARING SYSTEMC329: Abominations indeed
Chapter 329: Chapter 329: Abominations indeed
Chapter 329 – Abominations indeed
Lea didn't know what to say nor what to do. Her mind blanked out as she heard the words of Noah.
Her...? Kill her own husband? Kill the man she loved the most?
The very thought of doing that made her skin crawl in protest. She couldn't do that. She blinked, clearing her eyes in order to look at Noah.
But as she looked at his eyes, Lea was sure that this abomination would not even listen to her pleading, that this smiling monster would relish to see her beg on her knees only to discard her, to refuse her.
And even after knowing all of that, she still lowered her head until it touched the shattered floor beneath her. Her body quivering, her cheeks graced by a torrent of tears, as she parted her trembling lips.
"I-I... beg you." She pleaded.
Her voice was low, weak, broken. It was filled with deep crunching pain, that can make most men feel bad about seeing her in this state, especially looking at her beautiful figure.
But Noah just stared at her, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
He didn't respond.
He just extended her the sword, his answer clear.
You would kill him, there was no other way.
Neron amidst all this, just stared at this scene, at his lover being humiliated and he couldn't do anything about it. A deep self-loathing feeling pierced his soul, as his eyes reddened and blood started to trickle down... tears of blood.
Green blood of the Worldborn.
At that moment, he attempted to secretly activate his link with Mother Tree, Luelle but found himself unable to do so.
"Don't try, you are in my domain. Nothing would happen except I will it." Noah suddenly said, answering the question Neron was about to wonder.
That's when he noticed a thin white-silver film of light covering his whole body like a cloak.
His mind froze.
Since when was this a domain? How was this possible to compress a domain in this way?
Neron's mind was bombarded by questions he didn't have a response to. And added to that with his connection to his Mother Tree severed, despair finally overcame his mind as his bloody tears flowed faster and heavier, transforming the ground beneath him into a puddle of green sticky water.
Hearing her husband's breakdown, Lea became even more helpless. But she didn't abandon.
She just couldn't.
She didn't want to lose her husband, she didn't want to lose the life they were living.
And for that... for that she was ready to do everything she could.
She bowed even more, looking like she wanted to bury her head on the ground, and spoke: "A-anything... anything except killing him. I would do anything. I swear. I swear." She whimpered, she begged, she pleaded.
Noah paused, his smile widened like a devil, causing Aurelia behind him to shudder in elation while unconsciously rubbing her two thighs against each other.
"Anything you say?" Noah repeated.
Lea's eyes lit up in hope as Noah finally answered. And like a person trapping in darkness for eons, and now who has a chance to taste the light.
She jumped in without thinking, without pausing... without any hesitation.
"Y-Yes! Anything! Anything!" She said rapidly while nodding her head like a chicken pecking at its food on the ground.
"Then swear on it. Swear on it on The Records." Noah's voice was calm, sweet and inviting like the whisper of the devil convincing you to sin.
Once again, Lea jumped straight in.
She nodded, her eyes wide in both fear and now a budding hope. "I swear it on The Records, I will do anything for you except killing my husband." She swore.
And boundless, infinite presence swelled in the shredded room making them all feel a gaze on them.
A gaze that looked at Lea and Neron with indifference, with neutrality.
But once it went towards the three siblings it subtly changed, becoming more warm especially when it landed on Noah.
Aurelia clicked her tongue, feeling the favoritism.
Asaemon laughed, uncaring about all this.
Then the voice of The Records echoed,
{Lea, The Lady of Thorn, has swore to you, Noah Vaelgrim.}
They paused, then...
{She is yours to do as you please, except ordering her to kill her husband.}
{Your existence level has been enhanced.}
Then it disappeared, and the pressure dissipated like a mist.
Lea sensed something like chains binding her very being to Noah, unable to disobey him. She then looked at him, feeling a hope that now that she swore to him, he wouldn't continue this torture.
But...
Assuming this simply showed how much she didn't know Noah.
Noah was many things. He was an arrogant man, an insufferable one, a funny one, a pervert, a loving husband, an improving father, a god, a brother, a master... and also...
...a son.
But beyond all that, Noah was a petty and vengeful person.
He didn't forgive. He didn't forget.
And to get back at you, he didn't care about innocent people. It was like with the matter of Bari.
She was the only guilty one... but Noah involved all her loved ones in his wrath.
Yes, that was how he was.
That was... who he was.
A damn petty person.
And he didn't care.
So he opened his mouth again, looking at the hoping Lea, and spoke.
"Fine, I won't ask you to kill him..."
Her eyes brightened, as she was about to lower her head to thank him...
"...but, you could bring him to the brink of death, right?" Noah said with a sweet voice.
Silence fell.
Lea sluggishly raised her head again, looking at him with wide eyes. Eyes that reflected the shock she was feeling at that moment.
Neron wept even more.
Asaemon's laugh thundered through the whole realm, shaking it, causing the inhabitants to cry in fear as the sky above the realm was shredded by the claws of calamitous beast.
And Aurelia clenched her two legs tightly, as if avoiding something to slip down.
Honestly, these three looked like three bullies tormenting others for fun.
But... that's not exactly true.
Aurelia was watching this because of the feelings Noah evoked in her.
Asaemon was simply enjoying his brother's company.
Noah... Noah was doing this for revenge.
And that's why....
"Take it and go do what I said." He repeated.
With no being able to refuse, Lea took the weapon, went towards the weeping Neron, her eyes red with tears.
She took hold of his body, as he was on his chest, then shifted his position so that he lay on the ground on his back, causing him to grunt in pain, his eyes still bleeding green tears.
Lea took the sword with her two hands even though she was shaking, as if it were too heavy for her to carry. She raised it, pointed the tip of the sword directly above Neron's heart and while locking her eyes into his... silently and painfully drove forward the sword into his chest, crunching and tearing sound echoed through the space as she watched her own husband gurgling, choking under his own blood.
And...
She cried in agony.
She wept like a newborn baby, but even with all her tears, making her eyes puffy... she still continued to insert the sword, watching her own husband spasming.
All of that...
While three abominations were watching, calmly without much of emotions...
Abominations?
Yes, they were indeed abominations.

HAREM STEALER: REBORN WITH THE GOD-TIER SHARING SYSTEMC330: His fault
Chapter 330: Chapter 330: His fault
Chapter 330 – His fault
Noah and his siblings watched calmly as Lea stabbed Neron with the sword, making him cry out in pain.
The scene dragged on, and on, with Noah always restoring Neron just enough to keep him alive, just enough to feel it, before ordering Lea to pierce his heart again.
At the beginning, naturally, Lea cried in pain. She wept again and again and screeched at Noah like a deranged goddess about to turn into a demoness, a vile being birthed by the ugliness of universe itself.
But all she received was Noah's indifferent gaze, made worse by the cruel smirk tugging at his lips. Clearly, he couldn't care less about how she felt.
In fact, he relished watching a Worldborn suffer this much. And as he looked at Neron in this state, his mind drifted toward Orien and Klaus...
...toward the day their turns would come, when they would lie bleeding on the ground while the one they loved most ripped out their hearts, then shredded them like sheets of paper and scattered them to the corners of the universe.
Yes, that was what he wanted. And that was what he would get.
This baneful scene continued for a while before Noah finally stopped it.
Lea sat on Neron's stomach, her hands drenched in green blood, clutching the sword above him, its tip trembling with the spill of his life.
Her eyes were wide and dilated, and at the same time, something inside them was gone forever — that spark of love, of happiness, of mercy, of purity... completely extinguished.
A coldness cloaked her whole body like a veil of death and despair, the kind only seen in the broken.
Her arms no longer trembled, they stopped only because Noah told her to stop.
She was completely broken.
She had wept until there were no tears left.
She had begged for mercy until her throat was dry and cracked like drought-stricken rock in a desert under a sun that would not answer.
All of this because she had kept shredding the heart of the love of her life, again and again, watching him choke on his blood, his face numb with pain and fear, and all she could do was bathe his face in her tears as if they could heal the hole she carved in him.
The sorrow was so much, so damn much, that her mind shut itself down, her emotions numbed to protect the last shards of her self from shattering.
"Aye... I didn't know you could be this cruel, brother. Please, remind me to never make you an enemy, okay?" Asaemon said, his voice carrying a distinct note of amusement.
He was obviously not taking this seriously.
After all, he had seen far worse. In this universe, you could witness the most atrocious things committed by people you would never believe capable of harming an annoying fly.
The darkness of the universe runs deep, extremely deep. And the moment you set foot inside it, you never escape.
Only then do you realize how sinister, how wretched, how malevolent people with power can be. They will do anything they want...
Destroy your world, your family, rape you, twist you, make you do horrors a mortal mind cannot comprehend, all to feed the disgusting desires they hide from the light.
So both Asaemon and Aurelia felt nothing in particular as they watched.
They had seen worse.
And yet, there was something compelling about how Noah acted — how he tortured you and made you feel the deepest pain you ever experienced while wearing the sweetest smile on that disgustingly handsome face.
Something in it made his dear sister Aurelia want more of it. She wanted to see it and, in a quiet corner of her mind, she wanted to experience it.
To feel what it was like to be in the soft but cruel hands of a man like Noah.
And that rising feeling only grew as she watched what came next.
Crunching steps began to echo through the space as Noah approached Lea, still holding the sword, eyes lifeless, with Neron beneath her, his face a ruin of tears, blood, spit, and snot.
Truly, a bloody mess.
Noah stopped an inch from Lea and squatted, bringing his gaze level with hers.
She still didn't react.
She looked as if she were only waiting for Noah's order to resume her merciless work.
Noah took her chin gently and turned her face to his. Lea's eyes locked into his white ones, her expression still lifeless.
Noah smiled.
"Did it hurt you?" he asked softly.
"Did it hurt you to stab your husband's heart again and again, to feel the resistance of his flesh and hear the tearing of his heart?"
He paused, staring deep into her yellow-grey eyes.
"Did it hurt?" he asked again.
And as his master, she had no choice but to answer, no choice but to obey his every bidding.
"Yes," she said, nodding. "It hurt." She answered truthfully, and Noah's smile sharpened like the edge of a blade.
"And so does mine, Lea. Even now."
"So tell me, do you blame me for seeking revenge? Do you blame me for wanting to return the same pain to those who carved it into me?" he asked, his hand tightening on her chin.
"No...I don't. I understand. And I... I would do the same as you...to you." she answered, again truthfully.
Noah chuckled.
"But can you do it?"
At this, Lea could only grit her teeth. "No."
Because she knew. the bindings of the Records were not something any being in this universe can break without the Records' own consent.
"So do you know what to do now?" Noah continued, drawing her focus back to him.
She looked confused, not understanding what he meant.
Noah smirked and pointed at Neron.
"If you think about it, you are in this situation because of Neron. If not for him, if he didn't love you, if he weren't your husband, you wouldn't be feeling any of this right now."
BADUM—!
Lea's heart skipped a beat as Noah's voice sank deep into her, and she began to feel something she shouldn't.
She shook her head violently, bit her lip, and glared at Noah. "It's... it's not his fault," she snarled.
Noah's smirk turned razor-thin.
"You know I'm right. I'm only the consequence. But him..." he said, pointing again at Neron...
"...he is the cause of all this, my dear Lea."
Lea began to tremble as she turned to look at Neron, and now that she truly thought about it...
He was the one who provoked Asaemon, an abomination, because he was Worldborn.
Asaemon and his siblings came to kill him, but he dragged her — and her entire realm — into it.
And after that, she walked through torment... because this smiling bastard wanted to hurt her husband by hurting her.
All of this... because of him.
Slowly, Lea began to look at Neron with something unthinkable...with resentment.
It was maddening.
But Noah was not satisfied.
He leaned even closer, his face an inch from hers, and whispered like a sinful dream, like the greatest devil,
"It's all his fault... all of it. Hate him. Loathe him. Kill him by your own will. Watch life disappear from his eyes after everything he made you endure..."
"...do all of this and..."
Their eyes locked.
White eyes against yellow-grey eyes.
Their lips almost touched as Noah finished:
"...do all of this, and..."
He grinned and, instinctively, Lea mirrored his devil's grin.
"...and be mine, Lea."

HAREM STEALER: REBORN WITH THE GOD-TIER SHARING SYSTEMC331: Darkness into light
Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Darkness into light
Chapter 331 : Darkness into light
Lea's heart was beating fast, extremely fast even after hearing Noah's words.
For a moment, she almost moved to kill her own husband, that was just how tempting it was. But she didn't.
Because it was not easy to discard hundreds of years of being with a person, living with him, loving him, and experiencing so many things together...
It was not easy.
So she still hesitated, her mind torn into different pieces as she tried to find a way out of this situation, a way that would not make her look like a monster, like a worthless whore.
But that option didn't exist the moment she was dealing with Noah.
They were still locking eyes, the tension sharp and suffocating.
Aurelia watched while holding her breath, her mind, her body, her soul... her entire being was absorbed in this exchange between Noah and Lea.
She wanted to know... what Lea would do? What Noah would do? How all of this would turn out?
She craved the answer, so much she forgot to breathe.
Asaemon meanwhile took out some popcorn out of nowhere, mumbling under his breath, "If this is what Aurelia is reading every single day, then I think I'll start reading too." A chuckle followed, as he planned to ask his sister later.
What they didn't know was that they were not the sole spectators, for one entity was also watching with rapt attention, gazing at its favorite with warm eyes, hidden between countless realities.
"Tell me, will you do it?" Noah said, making Lea focus on him again.
She tried to speak, to say that she couldn't do this, that she didn't want to kill her own husband... she didn't want to cross this line of no return.
But the words refused to come the moment she glimpsed the depth of Noah's eyes. She visibly shuddered, dread rising and coiling around her heart like the crushing embrace of a serpent.
She was afraid.
She was genuinely afraid of Noah. Something deep inside her carried an instinctive feeling to never anger the smiling man in front of her, because she was sure... that a fate worse than death awaited her.
And when she was forced to choose between suffering under the grasp of this abomination, or killing the one who had caused her to go through all of this...
Then the answer came naturally fast.
"I... I will kill him," she managed to utter, her eyes lowered to the ground, unable to look directly at Noah.
Noah smiled. "Are you sure? I mean... I don't want to force you into doing something you're not comfortable with, you know?"
"Killing your own husband might not be so easy, after all," he added, his voice tainted with mock empathy.
A deep feeling of shame and self-loathing bloomed in Lea's heart at Noah's words, but she didn't deny them. "Yes... I will kill him. I will do it by my own accord."
"All of this because of what?" Noah continued.
"Because he is responsible for all this."
"And?" he pressed again.
Lea bit her lip sharply until blood began to flow, still... she answered.
"...Because... I want to be yours." Her voice wavered, breaking.
Noah's smile widened into an open beaming grin. He slid his hands downward, guiding hers toward the sword that had been set aside during the conversation, making her fingers curl tightly around the hilt before raising it until it hovered just above the heart of Neron.
Neron only stared blankly, lifeless, his mind completely shattered — or at least on the brink of it.
Only then did Noah release her hands, stepping back a few paces, watching intently.
She was alone, sitting on the body of her shattered husband, surrounded by three abominations who were all watching her with different kinds of eyes, of emotions.
But none of them were eyes of pity or mercy.
Instead, they looked at her as if she were a fool, destined to entertain them with her foolish acts.
And the worst... the worst was that she didn't have any other choice but to entertain these abominations with her suffering, because...
...she slowly turned her head and looked at the smiling face of Noah, and felt a tremor course through her whole body.
Yes.
She was afraid of Noah.
And it was her fear of Noah that made her about to kill her own husband.
This scene made Noah think of a quote he once heard back in his life on Earth, one he had thought cruel, evil, and wrong, but now...
...now he couldn't help but admit there was truth in it.
It's better to be feared than to be loved.
It was true. Love is a fickle thing most of the time.
People are ungrateful, cynical, forgetful, but also greedy. They will stay by your side, singing your praise, bowing to you, doing whatever you tell them to do, because you treat them with kindness, give them wealth, position, even love... but all of that...
...only lasts as long as there is no threat, as long as their best interests remain with you.
Because the moment that changes, you will hardly find anyone still beside you.
After all, betraying someone gentle and loving is always easier than betraying someone vengeful and terrifying, someone who would make you feel the worst pain you have ever known if you ever dared to cross him.
That is how life is.
People rarely cherish the good ones, they only fear and respect the ones who have no mercy.
This truth revealed itself as Lea raised the sword and pierced it deep into Neron's chest, tearing through flesh and heart alike.
Neron spasmed, his eyes fluttered in clarity because of the physical pain, he gazed at Lea with his bloodied eyes..
"L-Lea..." he brokenly said, his voice hoarse.
Lea's body trembled further as she heard him and watched the life fade from her husband's eyes. Her mouth opened and closed helplessly, unable to comprehend what she had done, her hands still gripping the sword buried in his heart as it robbed him of his life.
A gurgle of blood poured out from Neron's eyes, his life would soon end.
He slowly, painfully, achingly, raised his bloodied hand to touch Lea's cheek. But before it can even reach her...life completely faded his eyes, his hand fell down with a loud thud.
Neron was dead.
Lea sat there, eyes blank, as the realization sank into her mind.
Then a deranged laugh burst out of her throat, her head flung back as she laughed... and cried.
She laughed and cried.
Because she felt liberated to finally get rid of the reason of her pain...but also she felt a deep crunching grief of killing the one...the one she loved.
The scene was atrocious.
Tears of grief, of pain, of guilty happiness streamed down her cheeks unendingly like the flow of a river, while her mouth stretched wide in mad laughter.
Something inside her had broken forever.
And all of it because of Noah, who just sat there watching calmly.
He knew it was better to be feared than to be loved — but only if you could not be both.
And Noah wanted both.
Now that he had broken this woman...
...it was time to rebuild her.
To rebuild her in such a way that she would learn to love him — while her fear still remained intact.
Noah approached Lea, squatted in front of her, and gently held her hands.
Lea slowly stopped crying, raising her tear-streaked face toward him, still drowning in despair.
She was at her lowest, at a point in her life where everything was darkness with no light in sight.
She needed something — someone — to help her out of it.
And Noah decided to be that one.
He was her darkness.
Then he would transform that darkness into a radiant light, and save her from doom.
Yes, enough of playing the bad guy.
Now he would be the light of this woman... in the same way he was the light of an entire world.
And thus...
"My dear Lea..."
Noah offered the carrot after the stick.

HAREM STEALER: REBORN WITH THE GOD-TIER SHARING SYSTEMC332: Nasty like that
Chapter 332: Chapter 332: Nasty like that
Chapter 332 – Nasty like that
The shattered room was silent.
Aurelia and Asaemon looked at Noah, sitting on his own chair before them, his expression calm, with both strange eyes.
Aurelia looked at him as if he was the personification of her whole fantasy come true. She couldn't stop stealing glances, even went as far as taking out a golden sheet of paper created by the golden tree of her realm and started to sketch Noah.
Her hands were fast and precise, brushing through the paper with natural grace and precision.
It was clearly not her first time.
For Asaemon, he looked at Noah simply like a proud elder brother, happy to see the youngest thrive in this harrowing universe.
If Noah was aware of the gazes his siblings were giving him, he didn't give any indication of it.
He simply sat there, expression quiet as he reminisced about what just happened.
After destroying the mind of Lea completely, Noah had rebuilt her by making sure that not only would Lea fear him, but she would also love him.
It was not that difficult to achieve, in all honesty.
Lea was already shattered, drowning in darkness as thick as oil, lost with no light, no hope, no foreseeable future in sight.
She was completely at her lowest. And she was hungry for a helping hand. A hand that would help her crawl out of that terrifying darkness.
The origin of the hand barely mattered... she only wanted hope.
And so Noah gave it to her.
As he thought about it, his face couldn't help but split into a small smile.
"Truly curious." Noah said, making Aurelia stop the portrait she was sketching and Asaemon focus on him.
"What is that?" Asaemon asked, tilting his head, his red hair swaying like sprayed blood.
Noah shook his head, "just wondering how we can be so strange. I broke her completely... but still she took my hand hungrily when I showed her afterwards a bit of affection and trust."
He raised his head to the broken ceiling where the sky of the realm was visible.
"Aren't we... beautifully, dreadfully complex?"
Aurelia smiled softly, "that's what we are. We are simply a living paradox. You destroyed her, like you said, but after that you gave what she longed for... you gave affection."
Her smile turned strange, "and affection, even if poisoned... it's still affection."
"So she took it even if one part of her must have known how venomous it was. That's what makes us alive, I guess. Sometimes we accept what hurts us because we only feel alive with that feeling."
Noah and Asaemon listened to Aurelia's words, their minds churning in multiple directions.
Finally, Noah sighed as he stood up from his chair. He stretched his arms, then his back before rolling his shoulders.
He didn't need to do any of that. But Noah found comfort in the mundane things sometimes.
"Well... it's thought-provoking, it's even scary how our brain works but..."
He smiled sweetly as he gazed at his siblings,
"It's what makes us us I guess. We all have our dark side." He said the last sentence with a smirk.
Then turned to look at Aurelia, "I wonder what you were doing with your sheet of paper, dear sister?" He asked playfully.
Aurelia shrugged, "I was preparing my book cover." She said flatly.
Both Noah and Asaemon were taken aback.
"What kind of nonsense are you spouting again?" Asaemon blurted out, looking at his sister as if at a person mentally ill.
Noah stayed silent, somehow speechless.
Aurelia's lips twitched at their reactions, she glared at them, "What's wrong? I got an inspiration and so I want to write a book. Do you have a problem with that?"
Both of them raised their hands in surrender.
"Not at all, sister. I know you'll kill it." Noah said.
"I mean, it's fine as long as you don't blow up entire worlds because of bad reviews and comments." Asaemon added with a shrug, feeling like he should warn her.
Aurelia could be very unreasonable sometimes.
But...
"...it can be that bad, right?" She asked, her expression now starting to darken with doubt.
Noah smiled wryly as he remembered all those reviews and comments he had seen on novels.
There were some even he — a simple reader — had felt deep inside his heart.
Some people were just nasty like that.
"...well..." Noah started with a strained smile.
"You don't need to worry about that... bad reviews and nasty comments are part of the process. Don't be too stuck on them or it will ruin your joy of writing." Noah said softly, as he patted his sister's shoulder.
"By the way, what type of book are you going to write?" He said, smoothly changing the subject.
Aurelia's eyes lit up in joy and something dark and twisted.
"Dark romance!" She said with a chirp.
She was honestly too cute.
"Oh... not exactly my type of thing to read but I will do it for you. If you want I will even be your beta reader!" Noah added with a beaming smile.
Asaemon came at the side, "Hey! Hey! Me too! I will definitely read it, and don't worry sister. I will give you so many bad reviews and nasty comments that you won't feel anything when others do it." He said with a grin, already planning in his mind the profanity he would say in the guise of aiding her.
A dark grin crept onto his lips at this thought.
Aurelia felt warmth and an even greater anticipation to write now.
She had been a reader for as long as she remembered and now... now she was ready to take that step. That step to go from reader to author + reader.
The combination of both.
A giddy feeling bloomed through her heart like a pink lotus as she smiled brightly and nodded her head to her brothers.
This was the first time, except when Noah was telling her about novels back on Earth, that Aurelia was so expressive.
That showed just that she was the type of girl who only cared about reading, anything else was a bother.
Noah shook his head, his lips curling upward. 'Having a passion is truly something special.' He thought before clapping his hands, making his siblings look back at him.
"We have wasted enough time. I have blocked Neron's death but Luelle will sense it soon." He said, immediately they became serious.
"Is there anything else we need to? If not we can bail out now." Asaemon said with a grin.
"I still have a thing to do." He said, "as you know I have a world I rule so I need to elevate. I would need the Will of this realm then."
They nodded in understanding.
"Oh! Let's get it over." Asaemon said nonchalantly.
"Yes, I need to write my first Chapter. But first, what's the name of my male lead? Should I just go with Noah as he is my inspiration?" Aurelia said, her hand on her chin as she wondered.
Noah looked at her, eyes widening, "What—!"
Before his words even ended, space twisted violently before a crimson wolf appeared, jaws open wide, the interior looking like a swirling portal inside.
It swallowed them with a loud snap that tore apart the space.
They were directly transported to the Will zone, Asaemon's loud laugh echoing through the air.

HAREM STEALER: REBORN WITH THE GOD-TIER SHARING SYSTEMC333: Chassez le naturel…
Chapter 333: Chapter 333: Chassez le naturel...
Chapter 333 – Chassez le naturel...
The siblings appeared back in a completely different place. There, the space was filled with thorns of every size, color, and shape, releasing a mist-like substance that drowned the place in a thick hazy fog.
They looked around, their gaze easily piercing through this suffocating barrier.
"Now where is the will of this realm?" Noah questioned himself as his eyes scanned everything with calm precision.
Aurelia was lost in her own mind, barely registering what was happening as she mumbled under her breath some words about dark this dark that.
Asaemon, too, barely cared, raising his hand to touch the fog and letting it slip lazily through his fingers as if playing with it.
Noah shook his head at their comportment before his gaze paused on one particular direction. There, he noticed a thorn ordinary in every aspect.
It was colored in lifeless grey amidst a sea of dazzling colors, exuding barely any power, only the faint whisper of an ashen light.
Noah smirked, took a step, and in an instant found himself before the thorn, his eyes gleaming faintly with amusement.
"Don't you know?" he said, reaching for the thorn with his hand, "that being ordinary in a room full of extraordinary things is the most obvious way to attract attention?"
He gripped it tightly, and for half a second nothing happened then the thorn twisted, and a voice echoed, nervous and pained.
"D-Don't hurt me!" it cried, before its form shifted into a petite figure, a man with a humanoid body carved from thorns, trembling under Noah's gaze.
"I will do anything you say!" he added, his heart beating rapidly like a snowball tumbling down a high mountain.
He knew who these people were. He had seen them battle inside his realm, had felt their monstrous powers tearing into him in ways he never imagined possible.
And worse, he had watched his former master kill her own husband under the influence of these monsters.
These abominations.
Knowing all that, he would have been the greatest fool not to cooperate.
Noah and the siblings smiled like wolves spotting a lone sheep, and the man of thorns shivered.
"That's perfect," Noah said. He paused, then continued, "so you know what's waiting for you, right?"
The man of thorns struggled, his expression twisting as realization bloomed across his wooden face.
Slowly, hesitantly, he nodded.
"Hard way or easy way?" Noah asked again, his tone soft as a morning breeze.
"Easy," the will responded.
Instantly, a grotesque and painful process began as the will started to tear its own core from itself, offering it to Noah.
The space around them fluctuated, glitching and unraveling like a curtain being pulled aside to reveal the void expanse of the universe.
Outside, the mundane people simply stood, watching their world collapse.
The ground creaked, then disappeared as if swallowed whole by a void beast.
They didn't scream.
They didn't pray, beg, or curse the heavens for their fate.
In a single day, they had endured apocalyptic horrors that shattered their hearts and hollowed their spirits, leaving them staring at the end with blank, empty eyes.
It was unfair.
And because it was unfair, a bright white-silver light erupted around the realm, enveloping them in a warm embrace before whisking them away, leaving the world barren of any living soul.
Noah had transported them to Laeh. Then he seized the will's core and observed as the being of thorns crumbled into dust before him.
He stared at the core in his palm, thorn-shaped and glowing with a searing light.
An indescribable feeling pierced his chest, forcing silence upon him before a wry smile tugged at his lips.
'I am here shouting vengeance in all corners of the universe... but I am doing the very same thing they did to me to a world that did nothing against me.' he realized, and a heavy weight bloomed in his chest.
He had destroyed and remade the lives of billions, just because he wanted to kill one being and elevate his own world.
Wasn't that exactly what Orien and Klaus had done to him?
Planning to destroy his world, enslave his people for their gain?
Wasn't this the same? Even if, in his case, he had the heart to send the survivors into Laeh for a new life... the truth remained.
A chuckle escaped his lips.
It was bitter. Ironic.
'I am such a hypocrite.' Noah thought.
And he was.
He screamed at the universe when it wronged him, yet he did the same to others without hesitation if it meant gaining what he wanted or protecting those he loved.
His behavior was so... human.
His chuckle grew into a dry laugh, understanding dawning upon him.
'Perfection, huh...?' he whispered, remembering his lofty goal.
A goal that now demanded a question.
'What is perfection...?'
Behind him, Aurelia and Asaemon watched in silence as the world crumbled, leaving only the void expanse of the universe.
They still kept their eyes on the youngest.
They knew what he was going through, and they understood perfectly. They had lived through the same torment in their own eras.
This was the nature of the universe.
The strong devoured the weak. There was no language of equality, of justice, of reason, or of peace.
Those were concepts only the strong could speak of.
When the weak dared to speak them, it was nothing but a pitiful worm trying to mimic the language of a serpent.
Its throat was not built to pronounce such words. Every syllable was gibberish to higher beings, who would crush it for the smallest offense.
It is... what it is.
And the sooner Noah accepted this truth and freed himself from discomfort at destroying worlds, the less he would suffer.
But Noah's worry wasn't about this.
His worry was his dream. For he had just realized something flawed in it.
He wanted perfection... but what was perfection for him?
Was it to be fair? To live without a trace of hypocrisy in his soul? To embody justice, equality, fairness for all beings in existence?
If that was it...
"...I am doomed."
Because Noah knew.
He knew he was a man full of faults. He was flawed at its core.
And only then did he feel the true weight of his dream.
Because it was not just a matter of hoarding power, nor of the women he hounded into his embrace.
It was a matter of character.
A matter of heart.
A matter of his deepest nature.
And as you all know, there was nothing more difficult than changing your own nature.
After all, as our French brothers once said...
"Chassez le naturel, il revient au galop."

HAREM STEALER: REBORN WITH THE GOD-TIER SHARING SYSTEMC334: Bloodydamn.
Chapter 334: Chapter 334: Bloodydamn.
Chapter 334 – Bloodydamn.
Noah sighed wistfully as these thoughts ran in dizzying circles in his head.
For the first time, he realized the heaviness and how daunting his goal was.
Perfection?
He scoffed inwardly.
'The only thing close to perfection is The Records.' he mused, raising his head to look at the boundless void expanse around them. He didn't know why, but he felt something.
He felt something — or someone — watching him. Eyes warm. Eyes sweet. He instinctively smiled, showing his perfectly white teeth.
"Am I not worthy enough yet?" he spoke.
To Aurelia and Asaemon, it looked like he was speaking to the void or even to himself, still musing in his thoughts.
But Noah knew better. The Records... knew better.
They didn't offer any response, though. But not receiving a response was already one.
Noah shook his head and slowly stood up from his crouching position. He stood tall, an effortless grace in every inch of his body. He turned his head and looked at his siblings.
"Now, where to?" he asked, his eyes ignoring Asaemon, who was getting excited as he looked at his sister.
In normal cases, they were supposed to march towards Earth after humoring Asaemon. But Noah asked just in case Aurelia wanted to pass somewhere.
She tilted her head, as if considering the question. She had this sudden urge to write a book, her male lead was in front of her and she had her first volume in mind with what happened with Lea.
But she needed more. More materials to write. Meaning, she needed to do some research. And for the type of book she was going to write, there was nothing better than living people experiencing these scenes, while she... like a perfect spectator, would watch and learn.
Her mind was set. She raised her head and glanced back and forth at her two brothers before fixing on Noah.
She smirked.
"Could you use your fate-like power and find all types of beings that live dark romance in their everyday life?" she asked sweetly, then added,
"You can find them on the way back to that planet of yours, Earth. That way, we don't waste too much time." She proposed.
Noah looked at her weirdly.
Asaemon shook his head like a father disappointed in his daughter's life choices.
"Aurelia, why are you so weird? With all the books you read, you still need to make us observe these types of scenes?" he asked, his face twisted into something unsightly.
"Do you want us to be bored to death? Or do you think any man is like this young fella?" He said while holding tightly onto Noah's right shoulder.
Asaemon shook his head.
"No, no, no! This man is unique. He is the man born in filth, underneath the ground, afraid of being destroyed by a negligent step of those above him." His voice was unnecessarily loud. Full of theatrics.
And he was not done yet.
"He is the myth, the one born by killing a chosen in a way people still dream about to this day." His grip on Noah tightened. Noah winced.
Asaemon's raw force was not a joke.
"And he is the legend. The one people bow down upon to praise. The one the old ladies sing about to the young ones when they are about to sleep, giving them hope and a goal."
He stopped briefly, his black eyes playfully looking at Aurelia. She was twitching, her hand cracking as if preparing an attack.
Asaemon acted like he didn't notice. And like the shameless man he was, he finished his bloody monologue,
"You heard me, Aurelia? He is the man, the myth, the legend!" he said, both his hands pointing at Noah.
He then smirked and leaned close to Noah, whispering in his ear.
"Do you like my praise, brother? I will make sure to make worlds learn it perfectly so that you can be praised in such a wonderful way."
He then looked at him as if he was doing Noah an immense favor.
Noah's lips twitched. "Please don't. This is too great for me."
"Nothing is too great for you, brother." Asaemon retorted.
"You are doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
Asaemon grinned.
"Absolutely not." he said, shaking his head.
Noah looked past him and saw Aurelia's hand shining in gold.
"Can you move? I don't want to be involved in this fight." He said, his eyebrow twitching at the sight of the power Aurelia was preparing.
"Aren't we brothers?" Asaemon said, then immediately grasped Noah in a tight hug.
"Bloodydamn Asaemon!! Aurelia, I did nothing! Ah, fuck it!!!"
Asaemon cackled like a madman, his laugh echoing through the void.
Then Aurelia struck.
A flash of golden brilliance erupted, the void trembled, scaring away all the pitiful beasts living their lives.
...
Meanwhile, inside Laeh.
Laeh herself was holding the will core of the Thorn's realm, her expression filled with wonder. This was her first time, after all.
She was so eager to eat it and become stronger.
The will was from a middle-rank realm. It would not help her become directly high rank, but it would still enhance her.
But Noah had told her to wait for him to settle down somewhere first, as he didn't know what would happen.
She was getting impatient.
Looking around, her gaze settled on Lea. She was staring with wide eyes, her breath caught in the mystical expanse of white and silver.
Laeh tilted her head, "Are you brother's new woman?" she asked, voice innocent.
Lea's reverie was cut short as Laeh's voice reached her. She shifted her head and faced her. She was sitting on the comfortable grass, in front of her was a meadow and a stream with water holding all types of colors.
The sight still amazed her, but she still had to respond to this weird will in front of her.
She parted her lips.
"...Brother?" she repeated, confused.
"Noah," Laeh clarified, her stunning eyes still locked on Lea, who made an Oh! sound as realization dawned on her.
But...
"...Woman? I... I am not." She said, suddenly nervous. She didn't know how that monster would react if he heard this sacrilegious statement.
Laeh watched her, eyes narrowed. Then...
"I will call Mother Selene."
She decided to snitch on her brother.
What a sister.

HAREM STEALER: REBORN WITH THE GOD-TIER SHARING SYSTEMC335: Red
Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Red
Chapter 335 – Red
After their little skirmish that ended by causing deep traumas to some pitiful, innocent beasts of the void, the siblings departed.
The two brothers didn't have any choice but to listen to the only woman in the group. Their sister — the older sister, to add to that.
So, by using his providence abilities, Noah found out people who lived the life of dark-type romance, all while going toward Earth.
The way they traveled was distinct to each of them.
Noah's body was transformed into a thin thread, invisible to the naked eye.
Asaemon made himself look like a small fly.
Aurelia was a golden lotus going on its own way. To the two men, it looked too flashy. But the strange thing was that it was Noah and Asaemon being attacked by void beasts.
Aurelia seemed to look at them with a smug smirk, showing her superior knowledge.
Noah and Asaemon didn't say anything. They knew where they would strike.
And the moment came sooner than they expected.
After witnessing many boring life stories of both mundane and divine beings, Aurelia finally believed she had enough materials to start writing.
So she started. She wrote her first Chapter, feeling giddy and excited to finally write something of her own. Then, in high spirits, she went to her two brothers to show them.
She was quite proud of it, honestly.
But she regretted that act soon after.
Noah was gentle with his words. He only said,
"You might have a better future by sticking to reading. I mean, you could be an editor, you know? It's still a worthy job." His voice carried a distinct note of pity as he clapped her shoulder, as if to comfort her.
If it had been only that, Aurelia would at most have felt bad, then forgotten about it.
But there was Asaemon... and he didn't swallow his words.
"Sister, please stop. Don't ever write again. I thought I was going to die of cringe while reading this. Do you want to kill your readers or what?" he said.
But those weren't the words that hurt the most. It was the fact that Asaemon was serious when he was uttering them.
Can you believe it? Asaemon? Serious?
Yes. That meant it was that bloody serious.
Aurelia stared at them blankly. She didn't budge.
Starting to get worried, Noah nudged Asaemon with his shoulder.
"Laugh like you always do," he mouthed, not wanting Aurelia to feel sadder.
Asaemon shook his head. He refused.
"I'm honest, brother. I don't want her to humiliate us with this sacrilege," he mouthed back.
Hearing him, Noah couldn't help but agree. He decided to cheer her up another way. It was quite easy. He just had to talk about the books he knew from his old world.
There was one he had forgotten to tell Aurelia about, one he couldn't believe he had dared to forget.
It was a story of a young man living in a color-based society. He was born to be the lowest, a Red. But one way or another, he succeeded in becoming a Gold, the ruling class, and destroyed them.
It was a fun read, but also a devastating one.
Hearing the touching story, Aurelia immediately cheered up. She started to speak and even asked Noah some questions about the howlers.
Asaemon looked at Noah with awe. He didn't know Aurelia was so easy to manage. He took a notebook and started to note down Noah's tactics — without knowing that all of this, without the base knowledge of books, would be useless.
They continued, now with Aurelia no longer wanting to write a book, but simply to continue her reading journey.
Good choice.
Time passed. A day? A year? Eons?
They didn't know, but they could sense a sudden shift in the atmosphere around them.
If before it had looked like they were swimming in an ocean of energy of all types — whether neutral mana, elemental mana, or even conceptual mana — now it was no longer the case.
The more they went, the more the mana thinned. At this point, they were about to reach a place where no mana would exist.
It was madness to both Aurelia and Asaemon, and it was extremely jarring. They had been born in mana, raised in mana. Even though they had encountered some beings with null mana, this was completely different.
Null mana... was still mana at the end of the day. Just a very specific and rare type of mana.
But where they were going?
None.
"Brother," Asaemon said as they sat together inside a small makeshift realm to rest and enjoy the... blank scenery.
Noah turned his head to look at him.
"I don't want to be the cat curiosity killed, but hey... how do you even know this damn world we're going to?
"I'm not saying I'm afraid. I'm not. But goddamn, I'm getting chills in this place. And we're not even there yet." Asaemon faintly chuckled.
Aurelia nodded too. She was, in fact, curious. But contrary to Asaemon, she was very excited, because she knew she would learn something new.
It was a whole new place she had never set foot in, after all. So she was looking around, eyes wide with curiosity.
Noah noticed how curious they were. But what could he tell them? That he was born in that world, then because of a living system he reincarnated into Laeh, and became what he was now?
He was pretty sure they wouldn't even be that surprised if they knew. And it would create more connections between them.
In all aspects, it was a good idea to just be sincere.
But he wasn't. So he would lie.
He parted his lips to speak the lie he had thoroughly prepared for this occasion, but...
He shut his mouth almost immediately as he stood up. His whole body shook with deep dread.
Aurelia and Asaemon looked at him in confusion, wondering what was going on. But Noah wasn't hearing them. He wasn't hearing anyone or anything, in fact.
His eyes were searing with an uncountable number of threads, his face frowning heavily.
"Bloodydamn..." he muttered as suddenly their whole realm turned to dust. It was only then that Aurelia and Asaemon sensed the danger.
But it was far too late, as the being was already in front of them.
It was a woman, her whole body red like coagulated blood.
Her hair was long, reaching down to her ankles, floating behind her like a river of blood let loose in empty air. She wore a black sleeveless garment that covered her entire body.
Her eyes were fixed on Noah, glowing with sinister light.
"...it's you."
Her voice was sweet, sweeter than musk, but the power and cruelty behind it made the siblings take their fighting stance immediately.
She grinned like a wolf spotting a pack of sheep.
"You know her?" Aurelia asked, her golden eyes beginning to glow.
"I don't." Noah's voice was calm, but inwardly his heart was beginning to race.
"...she doesn't seem to agree with that, brother. Can you see how she's looking at you?" Asaemon added with a bloodthirsty smile, his body twisting and shifting as if he were holding himself back from immediately transforming into a monstrosity because of the power he sensed in this red woman.
Noah's lips twitched at Asaemon's words.
But before he could reply...
"Your fate... is to die. Today."
Her right hand began to glow with blistering red.
Noah smiled.
"Who decided that?"
The woman's lips stretched into a wide, unnatural smile that made the siblings take a step back.
"Ruin decided that."
She struck.
The void itself shuddered.

HAREM STEALER: REBORN WITH THE GOD-TIER SHARING SYSTEMC336: Swift fight
Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Swift fight
Chapter 336 – Swift fight
A detonating explosion boomed through the void, hurling the siblings backward with grim expressions carved into their faces.
Their bodies were wounded—not by the force of the attack itself, but by its lingering effect.
Blood seeped from their torn flesh, only for the crimson flow to twist unnaturally, streaming back into their wounds against gravity.
The wounds closed.
They watched the place where they had just been.
The attack was devastating, and its aftermath was dreadful to witness. The previous "void" was no longer—rather, it was unraveling itself, folding apart, and beginning to vanish.
It was as if this strange woman had ruined the very concept of void, leaving behind something the siblings could not even dare set their eyes upon.
They would lose their minds.
Instinctively, they snapped their eyes shut and pulled back, putting distance between themselves and the red woman, who remained perfectly still, watching them the way a hunter would watch pitiful prey.
With disdain. With contempt.
'Now things are troublesome.' Noah thought, the danger radiating from her more than enough to make his instincts flare. He didn't need to think much to know where this woman had come from.
He had already sensed it the moment he obtained Providence, that danger was on its way. He simply hadn't known when or how.
Now he knew.
But that didn't mean he hadn't prepared. Raising his head, he looked at his siblings and smiled softly.
Three abominations should be enough, shouldn't they?
'She's above Law Creator rank. Probably the same level as Aurelia and Asaemon...but clearly stronger.' Noah's thoughts spun rapidly as he pieced it together.
The woman might be stronger than each of them individually, but against the three of them at once?
"I can see the gears of your lowly brain grinding from here," the Red Woman said, her gaze locked on Noah, her words dripping with disdain. "But don't bother. You won't leave this place alive, no matter what you pull out."
Her voice was confident. Too confident.
The kind of confidence Noah delighted in crushing beneath his feet—leaving nothing but despair when he revealed at the end that they had been nothing all along. But doing that to this being would be difficult.
Yes, difficult. Not impossible.
After all, he had already brought down a chosen one, taken his women, and even his mother...after only a few years in this new world.
He had built his confidence already. So he simply smiled at the woman's words. His finger twitched.
Aurelia and Asaemon twitched in response.
"You sound disgustingly certain of your ability to kill me. To kill us. But what makes you so sure you can?" he asked. His finger twitched..
They twitched.
The woman looked almost offended. How could she not kill a mere Law Creator of this weak universe? And two overgrown ants who dared think themselves her equal?
Her lips parted to respond, but her head suddenly snapped to the right—where a gigantic crimson wolf maw opened wide, ready to devour her head whole.
She snickered.
Her hand moved faster than time itself, gripping the wolf's mouth with iron strength and snapping it shut with a crack that shattered every tooth in its skull.
A mistake.
Her frown deepened as she felt white-silver threads erupting from the wolf's maw, flooding into her body.
Snarling, she clenched her fist tighter, reducing the beast into a rain of crimson blood.
Asaemon staggered back, agony slamming into his soul as the bond with his familiar tore apart. He clenched his teeth in fury.
Aurelia was already moving. One step—and she blurred into golden-green light, daggers gleaming in her hands, giving the woman no time to deal with the invasive threads now burrowing deeper.
They needed those threads to reach her very core for their plan to work.
Noah acted in sync, threads twisting into a bow in his hand. He gripped it, pulled back an invisible string, and immediately threads gathered before him—twisting, swirling—until they became one slender arrow.
Aurelia was already on the woman, her strikes flowing like a dance, too graceful, too beautiful to be strikes meant to kill.
Her green hair streamed behind her as her golden, cold eyes glowed with knowledge beyond her years.
The red woman deflected each attack with ease, but faltered slightly, unnerved by the threads inside her body, by the bad omen crawling through her core.
The sound of tearing flesh, gushing blood, and sharp cries of pain rang through the void as the clash shook everything.
The void itself trembled. Had a world been near—anything less than high-grade—it would have been annihilated by the echoes of their blows.
They looked like twins on a mission to unmake the universe. Too fast, too relentless—blurs tearing through a static world, far beyond what anyone could follow.
But Noah was not just anyone.
His arrow was ready. All that remained was to make it absolute.
Inevitable.
He invoked the Law of Providence.
"I will never miss a shot, as long as I close my eyes."
His words thundered through the void, and reality itself shook as the threads of causality bent to his declaration.
The Red Woman felt it. Her head shifted toward Noah.
Another mistake.
Aurelia's dagger slid into her throat, golden-red blood erupting in a torrent.
The dagger broke in her hands, ruined from the force.
The Red Woman staggered back, gurgling on her own blood, her wound already knitting closed.
But Asaemon was there. His arm warped into the monstrous claw of a dreadful bear, striking her temple with brutal force.
Her left eye burst from its socket, her flesh split apart, her jaw shattered into dust.
But in return, Asaemon's hand was ruined, dissolving into nothing, as if dragged toward inevitable erasure.
They retreated as the Red Woman reeled, her mind clouded by the invasive energy injected into her body. But she began to recover...
Too late.
An arrow was already buried in her forehead.
Her head snapped back, her neck cracking as threads spread through her brain, rooting deep. She tried to annihilate them, but the earlier threads now acted in unison.
Her body was no longer hers to command.
Noah had already given it a fate.
The fate of stillness.
Silence fell heavy over the void.
Noah broke it with a smile.
"Now, please...tell me. Who is this Ruin that wanted me dead?"
