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

"So what did you mean by trying something else?"

When his sister was ready to listen, Rain began.

"First of all, I want to ask you if you felt anything unusual in your body after that night?"

From the moment Rain had used the Ticket of Connection on her, due to the system, he had felt an invisible connection between them, and he wondered if she could feel it too.

Although it was created with a system item, it wasn't something impossible with her inhumanly keen senses.

Liana tilted her head questioningly to the side, pondering his question.

"I felt myself... um... full?"

Coughing at her meaningful answer, he counted it as a yes.

"Let me try something."

Under her surprised gaze, Rain put his hand on her heat-reddened skin.

According to the system's words, energy, life force, and even skills can be exchanged with the link between them. Now that the link had stabilized and strengthened a bit, it was time to use it.

While he didn't know if it would be of any use to him, any opportunity was worth trying.

With that determination, he focused on the bond between them. It took about a minute before he finally managed to grasp it with confidence.

Assuming that was enough, he gave one of his prearranged commands and luckily it worked, because in the next second his surroundings changed and the familiar light of the room turned to semi-darkness.

Looking around, Rain noticed the quiet smoothness of the water beneath his feet, stretching as far as his eyes could see, and a spherical object in the sky that, like the moon, illuminated the surrounding area with its gentle yet chaotic light.

"The Soul Core."

That was the first thought that came to his mind when he saw it.

"If this is truly the Soul Core, then it should be a Sea of Soul."

Rain looked over the dark, ripple-free surface of the water once more and confirmed that he had come to the right place.

All the abilities one possessed were imprinted in one's soul and could be found in the Sea of Soul. Under normal circumstances, no one but the owner of the Sea of Soul could enter it, and even the owner could only do so after reaching the Transcendent Soul stage.

Realizing that he had managed to bypass this restriction, Rain focused on why he had come here.

There were blobs of light flying around the Soul Core, which in all likelihood were the essences of the skills Liana possessed. Almost all of these essences were different, varying in both size and density as well as in the brightness of their glow. And while most of them looked unremarkable against the backdrop of the Core, some of them radiated an oppressive pressure of power.

Using the power of his soul, Rain drew the nearest blob of light to him and made it fall carefully into his hands.

[Internal Energy Circulation Skill]

By directing his consciousness into it, he could understand what type of skill it belonged to and what its approximate effect was. But for further study it was necessary to test it himself in reality.

"It's not the most useful thing to me."

Letting go of what he held in his hands, Rain continued to draw the essences to him one by one.

Over time, he came to two conclusions.

Firstly, the skills contained within these essences were not limited to martial types and were multifaceted, even including knowledge of some languages.

Second, some of these essences were too gravitationally chained to the Soul Core and wouldn't change their course no matter how much he tried to reach them.

"So there's a limit to what I can get at this point."

It didn't upset him much, as the mere fact of receiving other people's abilities was unheard of in this world, especially since he believed that as long as his sister was by his side, he would reach them all sooner or later.

So Rain just focused on what he could get his hands on.

Though the sweetest fruits were out of his reach, he found quite an interesting thing among the rest.

After sifting out everything that didn't suit him and what he already possessed, only one essence remained in his hand, emitting a harsh blue glow. Examining it once more, he was completely convinced.

"It's just what we need before the upcoming fights."

A wicked smile appeared on his lips, exposing his teeth as he ordered this essence to merge with him.

After a second's delay, the blob of light slowly flew up to his chest and smoothly flowed into it.

[By the power of the transcendent, the gates of your soul are opened.]

[The skill was imprinted in your soul.]

Even though his body wasn't here, Rain still felt a pleasant freshness spread through him, as if revitalizing him and filling him with strength.

By the time that refreshing feeling had passed and Rain opened his eyes, the essence he had just absorbed had begun orbiting the Soul Core again.

"As I thought, it doesn't take the skill away from the original owner, it copies it."

He didn't feel like he could copy anything else right now, so, his gaze lingered on the gently shining moon for a few more seconds before he left the Sea of Soul.

Judging by the sound of irritated footsteps still echoing from the hallway, not much time had passed in reality.

Liana was beside him and didn't seem to move from her position at all. Before Rain could ask what was happening, she pointed downward.

"It's still inside..."

Glancing at the spot where their bodies were joined, Rain realized that they were still in the same pose they had ended up in. Not that either of them minded, though.

'What a cozy pussy.'

Taking his cock out of his sister, Rain stood up from his chair, looking around at the mess they had made.

"Did you do what you wanted to do?"

Asked Liana in a slightly frustrated voice, feeling empty inside.

"Yes. Do you sense anything unusual?"

She thought for a moment before answering.

"It feels like I've gotten even closer to you… on some intangible level."

Rain nodded her head understandingly.

After using the cleaning spell a couple times to clean themselves up, they began to remove all traces of their being in the room. When that was finished, Rain turned to her and hugged her from behind.

"Working out with me is more effective for your body than with your sister, isn't it?"

"Yes."

Without hesitation, Liana confirmed, straightening her skirt.

"Speaking of your sister, it's about time we got back to her."

When all the 'important matters' were taken care of, Rain was the first to step out into the hallway. The first thing that met him there was Eliana's gaze, which seemed to grow even colder.

'I wonder if she's heard anything.'

It was hard to answer that question from her impenetrable face, so Rain just left it at that.

It wasn't until her sister followed Rain out that her gaze shifted to her, becoming softer.

"Come on, it'll start soon."
