The capital of the Kingdom of Balshine. The capital that was once said to be the most prosperous among the surrounding countries showed no sign of life at all.
A young girl gazed at the ruined townscape from the royal castle balcony.
Her face was hidden by her long bangs and her expression unreadable. The only thing visible was the absence of people who cut her overgrown black hair.
The black-haired girl who overlooked the royal capital is the one who destroyed not only the kingdom but also humanity around the world. Her na: Yumiela Dolknes.
She mumbles sothing in self-deprecation to herself.
I wonder where I went wrong?
Do you realize that you made a mistake?
Although there seed to be no one to respond, there was a response to her monolog. The voice was mixed with noise making it hard to tell the gender or age.
Yumiela didnt seem surprised by the invisible speaker and continued her conversation unperturbed.
I guess Im making a mistake.
Do you regret manipulating monsters and exterminating humans?
Theres no reason to feel remorse or regret now. And Im not the only one who made the wrong choice. Everything is wrong with the world, with , with the people around . And this is how it ends.
Yes! These worlds are wrong. Thats why Im going to free them.
Yumielas conversation partners voice becos more intense.
Still getting bored with this unpredictable guy who keeps going on and on, Yumiela was looking back on her life. Her life had been full of mistakes, both for herself and others.
The first mistake was being born the way she was. She resented her birth into this world, her natural appearance, and her environnt many tis.
If only her hair was a different color than black. If only she hadnt been born into a noble family. If only she had been born in a country where black hair wasnt shunned. She dread up nurouswhat ifscenarios, but it was impossible to change them all.
Maa, I was so stupid, wasnt I?
Growing up, Yumiela was desperate for her parents to love her. The loneliness that she had always felt since she could rember was sothing that she was sure her father and mother would relieve. For her, the strict but kind father and mother only existed in stories.
She was sure she would see them soday. Yumiela had no doubt that she would be warmly embraced when she saw them.
Living off of this fantasy, she studied hard in the Dolknes territory until she entered the academy.
Even during her school days, she continued to pursue her impossible dream. She secretly looked down on and chard the Dukes daughter who was being manipulated by those around her. To stay within her faction, she took on a dirty role. This caused the royal family to take notice of her and she was imdiately cut off from her.
Every thread of hope was snapped. Technically, there was no hope from the beginning.
It was during her third year that she realized this obvious fact. At the sa ti, the news about the Demon Kings resurrection spread through the kingdom.
The Demon King was Yumielas new hope. It definitely was. The demon king would surely destroy all the people who have been mistreating her, this worthless kingdom, and the world that has no value in existence.
Maybe I shouldnt have been so reliant on others.
Yumielas voice was devoid of emotion as if she were a stranger.
Her hope was gone again. The Demon King will be defeated and the whole kingdom will celebrate the new heroes and saints.
From the bottom of her heart, Yumiela really believed that she couldnt rely on anyone else. The only person she could trust was herself.
Then she made up her mind. Instead of being disappointed with the Demon King, she will destroy the world.
Yumiela had always known that she was stronger than others, that she could handle magic with powerful attributes. She was aware of her abilities and hid them.
Fearing that she would be shunned even further, she never wielded her power during her childhood and school years. Now, after being shunned so much, she had nothing more to be afraid of but at the ti, that thought of using her power terrified her.
Thus, Yumiela started her journey to beco the hidden boss.
It was shortly after that she t a mysterious invisible figure.
Yumiela was blunt towards the figure who was still spouting resentful words.
Hey.
There are definitely beings that look down on this world.
Hey, Im talking to you!
You can watch it for entertainnt and take pleasure in it huh? Whats wrong?
Nothing.
That was how our first eting went. This invisible, mysterious figure had no interest in interacting with people at all. They just say what they want one-sidedly.
She didnt even know his na. With no one else to talk to, it didnt inconvenience her, but Yumiela secretly called him evil god.
Yumiela was alone and thought back to several months ago. The first thing she heard was, You will die if you continue like this. He warned that if I continued doing what I was doing, I would be no match for Alicia and they would kill .
He proposed an unorthodox thod for leveling up. A grueling training thod that she didnt think a normal or sane person would co up with.
Sensing Yumielas displeasure, the voice uttered soothing words.
Whats wrong? You know youre not leaving until tomorrow, right?
HaaIll be there. You never consider other peoples circumstances, do you? Youre the one who ca up with that crazy leveling thod.
Thats not true. The thod that I gave you wasnt my original idea.
Huh? Who else could have done it except you?
You did, your parallel universes self could pull it off. The one youre going to fight tomorrow.
The person Yumiela is going to fight is her parallel universe self. This was sothing she had heard about but she never expected to et her. She thought she was soone who was living a gloomy life just like her.
Yumiela beca interested in her other-self life that she never had the slightest interest in before.
How is she? Is she different from ?
Not really. I cant tell the difference apart but she is stronger than you.
Oh, co on. Why dont you just let kill her off? Dont you want more minions with their level uncapped?
Hmm thats not how it works. The other you have no opportunity to take advantage of you. She doesnt even loathe the world the way you do. That would be hard to deal with.
Yumiela couldnt imagine herself not hating the world. Even if she could go back in ti and start her life all over again, she would still see herself hating the world.
I wonder whats the point of my existence?
The reason is simple. Because I want you to.
Whats the specific reason?
Ive had my eye on you for so ti. Your abilities are far beyond any other human. I always wanted you in my service. But youre going to die. No amount of intervention on my part will change the outco.
Yumiela rembered her fight with Alicia and her party. The battle against those four was a close one. Had she not been doing that crazy leveling up, she wouldve definitely died.
They were that strong and the worst match for her.
Yumiela listened to what the mysterious figure had done.
As a trial, I put another soul inside you. It is a weak soul drifting between dinsions. It might not work, but it bothered enough to try.
Is that who Im dealing with?
Thats right. It was sothing I never thought Id find. She even managed to find my lost property. Its astonishing.
And how did she live her life?
Shes a lord? Or I dont know, lives her life doing nothing. Shes a boring person.
Hmm. Its not that interesting.
If she beca a lord, did that an she inherited the title from her father? Yumiela couldnt imagine how it could have happened.
Yumiela looked over her life once more.
She desperately pretended to be invisible, but there must have been a way for her to survive. The helping hand must have been right around the corner.
First, how to live with her own strength. Her strength would have allowed her to get by to so extent in any country she went to.
The next was finding help from the people around her.
Advertisents
Although she disliked Eleanora, Yumiela didnt think Eleanora was a bad person. Shes just soone who was being manipulated by the people around her. Maybe sothing would have been different if she had asked for help without sha or fear.
The last thing Yumiela rembered was the guy who she occasionally talked to at school.
He was definitely Yumielas hope, he was looking out for her and asking if she was in trouble. However, the person who pushed away his helping hand was none other than herself. They never managed to get closer because he was born a frontier count and had little influence.
It doesnt look as ssy as the central, maybe I could live in peace in the frontier counts territory.
She almost said his na and stopped herself from saying it. The details are unknown, but he must have been caught in the middle of the monsters wave and died.Might as well say that I killed him, Yumiela thought.
Whats wrong? Wheres your fighting spirit?
This cant be done. Theres no turning back for now. Ive decided to kill everyone I dont like.
Yumiela was glad to know about her parallel world self leading a peaceful life.
The knowledge that she was so different from herself strengthened her resolve.
In the end, there was only one more person to defeat.
