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.

You would think that for something so massive, it would fall slowly—but no. The moment Noah stopped speaking, the sword was already upon Belzebuth.


The strike landed. Instantly, the chamber's temperature plummeted further, transforming the space into a frozen wasteland.


Noah then appeared beside Zara, who was struggling to stay on her feet. Belzebuth's kick had been brutal, almost making her vomit her insides out.


"Are you okay?" Noah asked, placing a steadying hand on her shoulder.


He activated his power—over Samsara, over life and death. In seconds, Zara's injuries faded rapidly, her body now fully healed.


She let out a breath of relief. "Yes. I'm fine now."


"Good. Now…" Noah turned his gaze back toward Belzebuth. "Let's fight properly."


The Demon Lord stood tall, a frozen wound etched into his palm—the very hand he'd used to block the sword. Frost clung to his skin, creeping along his limbs.
