After Stealing Hero's Mother, I Reincarnated in the Fantasy World!

Chapter 40: Inner world



Rain glanced at the reward he had recently received for completing the quest.

[Ticket of Connection]

Rain had a couple guesses as to how an item with that name might work, especially since it wasn't the first reward in the ticket series for him, but he still decided to ask the system for clarification.

"Nari, what does this item do?"

[Just as the name says, when used, this item establishes a connection between you and your chosen target. Once the bond is successfully established, you will be able to feel each other's presence and communicate regardless of the distance between you. And once your bond is finally stabilized you will have the ability to exchange energy and life force, or even use each other's abilities.

Of course, as the dominant in this bond, you will have complete control over any of these functions.]

Intrigued by the description of the item from the system, Rain immediately asked.

"I can use it on anyone?"

[Yes, but the success of the connection and its strength will depend on your target's level of affection to you. Therefore, the best target at this time is your beloved sister.]

There was a hint of sarcasm in the system's last words, so Rain inquired.

"Are you upset about something?"

[Nothing. Unless you count the fact that I had to listen to you pound your sister all night while she moaned 'brother~' at your every move.]

Surprised by the system's response, Rain was silent for a few seconds before grinning.

"For someone who was once a part of the Goddess, you're thinking too stereotypically. We may have gotten a little closer than a normal brother and sister, but why dwell on such trivialities? I want her and she wants me and that's all that matters."

[....never mind, just keep in mind that it took 170 steal points to maintain the barrier keeping your sounds out.]

Nodding his head, Rain calmly accepted the expenditure, turning his attention to the white-haired girl who was still clinging to him with a goofy grin.

'Given her attitude towards me, there shouldn't be a problem.'

"Nari, use the Ticket of Connection on her."

Before doing so, the system said in a serious voice.

[Host, stay focused and stay alert, because you will briefly enter her inner world during the bonding process. This is the first time I've encountered someone with this level of affection, so while this will ensure you 100 percent success at establishing a connection, it may also cause some unforeseen occurrences.]

Nodding to the system, Rain placed his hand on Liana. He didn't know if it would make a difference in setting up the connection, but just in case, he pulled her tighter against him.

"Mhhhhmmm~"

Ignoring her sweet moan, he closed his eyes and focused on his sensations.

After a few seconds, he caught a faint fluctuation of his soul, as if something deep within him was stirring. He had not yet reached the cultivation stage where he could clearly sense his soul, so it was more like an instinctive feeling.

Soon he felt a faint tentacle reach out from his soul towards his sister. It was rather slow, but he focused on it and waited. When it finally reached her and touched her, his consciousness was instantly pulled elsewhere.

Rain knew that the inner world represented the personality and ideals of its owner, as well as the history of life. There were infinitely many different worlds, the shape and form of which depended only on their owner.

For saints, the inner world can be like a calm water surface filled with tranquility, while for assassins it can be like turbulent bloody seas where storms reign forever.

While there were some patterns between the inner world and the person, more often than not it was a unique and unlike anything else. Adding his sister's personality to the mix, Rain was sure he would see something incredible here and was fully prepared for it.

However, even so, he couldn't help but be confused when he saw it. Because there was literally nothing here.

Top, bottom, right, left...

Everywhere Rain looked, he could find nothing but darkness.

"I haven't entered any of the inner worlds before, but even so I don't feel like this is something normal."

With no idea what else he could be doing here, he just went in a random direction in this world devoid of any light.

"What the hell kind of life do you have to live to make your inner world look like this?"

Rain had long been curious as to where she had gotten these feelings for him from, and since he hadn't found anything about it in his memories, he had hoped to get the answer right here. But now it seemed that idea had been doomed to failure from the start.

As he was wandering through this dark world, he became abrupt because he saw something he hadn't noticed from the start.

In the distance was a small yet bright cluster of light, like a faraway star whose light shone through the overpowering darkness of this world.

As soon as Rain saw it, he had a feeling that the answers to his questions must be there. With all the speed his spiritual form was capable of, he flew in that direction.

Rain didn't know how much time had passed, but now he was standing in front of this single source of light of this world. It was even brighter up close, almost blinding Rain, but he didn't look away, still staring at that bright glow.

Mesmerized by this sight, almost instinctively he reached out and touched it. As soon as he did, a flood of information rushed into his head.

Rain immediately felt dizzy and the next moment found himself sitting on his bed again.

"If I was kicked out of her inner world, then the connection was successfully established."

Rain realized as he came to his senses. He looked at the girl smiling sweetly in her sleep, which was in stark contrast to what he saw in her inner world.

He stared at her in silence for a while before he pushed those thoughts away, deciding to study the information he had just received. It wasn't much, since he hadn't had time to absorb all of it before he'd been thrown out of there, but he was sure it would help him find answers to his questions.

However, he soon became confused. Although he could definitely sense that new information had entered his mind, it was too fragmented for him to make sense of it.

While he was trying to deal with it, the voice of the system sounded in his head.

[Unlike a system that downloads information into your consciousness in the simplest form possible, information from other people's inner worlds comes in raw, unreadable form.]

Hearing the system's words, Rain frowned.

"Does that mean I can't study it?"

[No, you can. You only need to try to materialize the knowledge you have gained in a form that is convenient for you, such as a book.]

Rain immediately began to concentrate on the feeling he got from touching that bright light, and after a few dozen seconds, a book appeared in his mind. Satisfied with this success, he immediately read the title.

"..."

Staring at it with a blank expression for a few seconds, Rain without a word began to form all the other information he had received.

Eventually, after a certain period of time, 5 more books appeared in his mind. And all of them were from the same series as the first one...

"Okay, now I know for sure that she has a well-developed creative mind. Although I already guessed that from her improvisations in bed..."

Rain decided to find the positives in this situation.

Looking at Liana, Rain tried to feel the changes after the connection was established.

It was hard to describe the feeling, but with enough concentration he could clearly feel the faint connection between them. He felt that if he wanted to, he could transmit his thoughts through that connection directly to her.

He immediately tried to use it. Since the connection wasn't strong yet, he didn't try anything complicated, just tried to wake her up.

"No, brother, not again~"

When he heard her voice, he considered that he had succeeded.

It wasn't until she continued to mumble something under her breath without opening her eyes that he realized she was still asleep.

"He-he-he, brother is so cruel and evil🖤"

"So I'll have that bunny costume today~"

"Mhhhmmmm~ we can't do it on the principal's desk..."

"That's the wrong hole!.... nggghhhhmm~.... keep going~"

'Should I even wake her up?'

Rain wondered, watching as she wriggled beside him and moaned softly.

However, the day had already started and today he had a lot of things planned that he had to do, especially Aelorian should be about to wake up. So he gently shook Liana's shoulder, and soon she was finally awake.

"Welcome back."

After a second of surprise flashed in her eyes she crawled over to him, wrapping her arms around his waist.

"How long was I out?"

"A little over an hour."

Rain answered, embracing her in return.

Liana glanced down at the bed, where there didn't seem to be a single spot left dry from her juices.

'I came here to drain him dry, but why do I feel like it's come out the other way around?'

Looking at his balls and considering that they didn't look empty, she sighed sadly.

'If I really can't satisfy my brother alone, does that mean I really have to accept the help of other women...?'
