'Lust system': Rise of the Harem lord-Chapter 33: The sync

Location: Dominion Tower – Inner Sanctum

The Tower was silent.

After Velhira’s departure, the world itself felt heavier. Her words still echoed in every corridor, in the hearts of every Host she nearly broke.

But Elias had made his decision.

He stood alone inside the Sanctum of Binding, a hidden floor only revealed after the Sub-Core Furnace was stolen and fused with his system.

All around him, red and gold code twisted through the air like fireflies—pure system energy waiting for a trigger.

He raised his hand.

> [True Harem Core: Awakening Requires Consent]

▷ Accept loss of humanity?

▷ Accept fusion of all Host emotional bonds?

▷ Accept irreversible connection to all bonded partners?

Elias closed his eyes.

Aya. Lilith. Mira. Ivy. Even those he hadn’t claimed yet.

He thought of them—not as possessions—but as lives, dreams, scars... love without permission.

Then, without hesitation—

"Accept."

Pain lanced through his chest. Not physical—core-deep.

Every emotion surged at once: lust, rage, fear, joy, heartbreak... longing.

The code tore into him, carving new branches into his soul.

> [True Harem Core Activated]

[All Emotional Channels Synced – System Sensitivity +300%]

[New Title: King of Iridescent Bond]

[New Ability: Soul Sync – Share power and pain across all bonded Hosts]

[New Passive: Pleasure Immunity – Cannot be manipulated through seduction]

He collapsed forward, gasping.

And from across the tower—

They all felt it.

Aya gripped her blade tighter as warmth spread through her chest. "What the hell was that?"

Lilith nearly dropped her dagger mid-practice. Her heartbeat matched his for a second.

Mira, in her lab, cried softly. "You... linked us all."

Ivy sat by the garden window. Her vision flickered red. Then she smiled.

Across every bond Elias had formed—even the broken, the hesitant, the unfinished—they felt him.

They felt his decision.

The tower’s system rang with a new ping.

> [System Broadcast: GLOBAL]

[To all Lust Hosts across corrupted zones:]

"I am Elias Black. You are not broken. You are not lost. I will not save you—

You will rise with me."

[Transmission Complete]

Elaria leaned over the console and whispered, "You just declared war on a goddess."

Aya entered the Sanctum, breath catching at the sight of Elias glowing with energy.

"You’re not... human anymore," she said.

Elias looked up, smiling weakly.

"Maybe not. But I’ve never felt more real."

---

Far across the sky, Velhira stood atop a throne of chained stars.

She watched the broadcast in silence.

Then, she turned to a cage hidden behind her throne.

Inside it—

A woman. Pale. Beautiful. Silent.

Seraphina.

Velhira smiled.

"Your pet is almost worthy of us."

Seraphina said nothing.

Her eyes glowed faintly... and for the first time, a tear fell.

Location: Dominion Tower – Soul Sync Training Hall

The air shimmered like glass.

Lines of golden code danced across the floor, forming a perfect circle — the Sync Sigil. It pulsed like a heartbeat, drawing Elias and his core partners inward.

Aya, Lilith, Mira, and Ivy stood surrounding him.

Each of them now felt connected—not just emotionally, but system-deep. A touch, a whisper, a single breath could ripple across all of them.

Elias stepped into the center, bare-chested, his system core glowing in his chest like a ruby star.

> [Soul Sync: Initiated]

[Select Partner to Unlock First Bonded Trait...]

He looked at Aya.

She didn’t flinch.

"I’m ready," she said, stepping forward.

---

Aya’s Sync Trial

As soon as their hands touched, the sigil exploded in blue light.

Aya’s memories burst open—flashes of blood, betrayal, and battle. A war orphan. A rebel Lust Host trained to kill her own emotions. She’d never felt until she met Elias.

And now...

That feeling turned into power.

> [Aya’s Bonded Trait Unlocked: Valkyrie’s Wrath]

[Description: Automatically shields bonded allies within 50 meters. Grants +75% strength during critical emotional surges. Triggers "Judgement Edge" when Elias is injured.]

Her blade appeared mid-air—twice its normal size, burning with violet flame.

But her eyes... they changed.

Slit pupils. Shadow tears.

Even Lilith stepped back.

"She’s not Aya anymore," Mira whispered. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Elias stepped forward calmly. "Aya. Breathe."

She blinked. Her power receded. Her voice trembled.

"I saw everything. You. Me. Them. I’d die for you."

Elias placed a hand on her shoulder.

"You’ll live for us instead."

---

Lilith’s Sync

Lilith was next.

Her trial didn’t show pain—it showed silence.

She’d once been Seraphina’s assassin, trained to feel nothing. She wore masks, played roles. Until Elias broke the script.

> [Lilith’s Bonded Trait Unlocked: Shadow Claim]

[Description: Grants teleportation to any bonded ally in danger. Can mirror an enemy’s attack once per battle.]

She vanished—and reappeared behind Elias.

Then again, behind Mira.

Aya looked annoyed. "Show off."

Lilith smirked, whispering into Elias’s ear: "Just promise you’ll always need me."

He looked back. "You’re irreplaceable."

---

Mira’s Sync

When Mira stepped in, everything slowed.

Her Sync wasn’t like the others. There was no rage or shadow.

Only clarity.

She saw equations, love, laughter. The girl who fixed people. Who believed when others didn’t.

> [Mira’s Bonded Trait Unlocked: Code Weaver]

[Description: Allows Mira to rewrite limited system conditions during combat. Can undo fatal attacks if triggered within 3 seconds.]

Mira gasped as light spun around her.

Then she said quietly: "I can save lives now, Elias. Yours. The others’. It’s all I’ve ever wanted."

---

Ivy’s Sync

Ivy was last.

Unlike the rest, her bond was fractured—still healing.

But as soon as Elias touched her hand, the Sync circle darkened.

> [Error Detected: Former Corruption Detected in Bond]

She winced. Elias tightened his grip.

"Don’t pull away."

The error faded.

Ivy’s eyes welled. "You... trust me that much?"

He smiled. "Always."

> [Ivy’s Bonded Trait Unlocked: Thorn Embrace]

[Description: Passive thorns damage enemies who touch Elias or his bonded. Can force enemy Lust Hosts to relive their worst memory.]

Lilith’s eyes widened. "She’s a trauma mirror."

Mira whispered, "And she just became his shield."

The Final Pulse

> [Soul Sync Complete: Phase 1]

[Dominion Bond Network Strength: 38%]

[System Evolution Route: Unlocked – "King of Hearts and Blades"]

Elias stepped back, drenched in sweat—but glowing.

They were stronger now.

Tighter.

Velhira was no longer hunting one man.

She was facing a storm of bonded souls.

---

Elsewhere... in the Temple of Broken Love

Velhira stood still, watching Elias through a glass pool.

Seraphina lay on her knees beside her throne, still silent.

Velhira spoke softly. "They evolve faster than expected. Aya especially..."

She turned toward her caged goddess.

"Should I kill them? Or should I let them fall in love, and then rip it apart?"

Seraphina whispered something.

Soft. Unheard.

But Velhira’s eyes narrowed.

"You’re rooting for him..."
