Became a Villain Heroine in a Harem Story

Bang.

I heard the sound of the door being forced open.

My heart beats faster.

This scene definitely didn’t appear in the game.

The reason was simple. Except for a very small number of heroines that the developers put effort into, there were few heroines whose past stories were fully revealed.

I couldn’t know what kind of experiences ‘Bia’ had gone through.

I didn’t know what would happen to ‘Bia’.

She entered the academy without any special reason and secretly killed students and teachers?

No, that’s not possible by common sense.

There must be a catalyst.

I came to realize it. Why this character ended up walking a path stained with mud and tainted with evil. I understood.

What appeared when the door opened were two tall men and one petite woman.

All faces I didn’t recognize.

Me not recognizing them means they were characters that didn’t appear in the game.

In other words, this has nothing to do with the academy.

I thought it was just an unfortunate event that happened because I was unlucky…

Until one of them opened their mouth.

“Is this really the house?”

“The prophecy is certain.”

“The next calamity is really in a house like this? It doesn’t look like it.”

[Prophecy]

The ability of one of the academy’s teachers. Can predict specific events that will occur in the future. The future cannot be changed.

The method of using the ability is extremely complex. The condition for use is to search for one among countless future events.

Once used, it cannot be used again for 20 years.

Enter a ‘keyword’ and it shows one event related to that search term.

“I definitely entered calamity as the keyword.”

“So, is it solved if we kill everyone in the house?”

“No.”

“Why?”

“If it’s a being that will become a calamity in the future, it’s either someone whose ability has already manifested or someone with the potential for ability manifestation in the future.”

Prophecy appeared as a relatively significant ability in the game. For some reason, it was mentioned that it had already been used and couldn’t be used again until the protagonist graduated.

Is that ‘some reason’… me?

But besides me, there’s no one in this house with an ability, or superpowers.

So, they’ll end up going back empty-handed.

‘As long as I’m not discovered.’

More importantly, I’m a calamity? What does that mean?

Why did the status window tell me to open the door?

Is the status window’s purpose not for me to return to my original world, but for me to die?

No matter how much I racked my brain, I couldn’t find the answer.

The best I can do now is to hold my breath and wait for them to leave the house.

“There’s a child.”

“I’ll check now.”

The woman bent down and placed her hand on my little brother’s forehead.

More than that, something’s strange.

With such a loud noise, why are my parents and little brother all still sleeping?

Why?

No, think. Keep thinking without rest. Find a way to survive.

What is the ability of the woman who said she’d check for abilities? Another detection type? No, if it was a detection type, she would have immediately noticed my presence.

Then what remains.

‘The woman’s ability is to gather information about the target through touch.’

That’s why the process of touching my little brother is necessary.

No, don’t be content with figuring out one person’s ability. Keep thinking.

Despite the loud noise just now, my parents and little brother didn’t wake up. And the reason why I, who am awake, wasn’t affected by that ability?

It’s probably a guess, a speculation, but the activation condition is sight or recognition.

Because I exist outside the recognition of that ability, because he doesn’t know that I’m hiding in the wardrobe, I wasn’t affected by the ability.

Then is it an ability to put people to sleep? No, it might be an ability to maintain the current state.

‘If by chance I’m discovered, I need a safe way to escape.’

The problem now was the ability of the remaining person. No matter how loose the iron door of a semi-basement slum might be, it’s still an iron door.

Electronic opening devices aren’t so easily broken.

So, something related to strength.

For some reason, I found the current situation a bit enjoyable. I don’t know why.

It’s clearly a crisis situation, but I couldn’t help wanting to laugh.

It was like a game.

The opponent’s composition was one dealer and two supporters.

One supporter was close to the standard gimmick-breaking type, the other seemed to be the type with confirmed crowd control.

I don’t know who put this composition together, but it was a well-designed combination.

Looks like a direct confrontation would be difficult.

After all, I was currently in the body of an ordinary 4-year-old girl without any abilities.

If I had ‘Shadow,’ there might be a chance of winning.

The ability of ‘Bia’ that appeared in the original game. [Shadow].

A clear 1.5 tier that can function as a tank, dealer, supporter, and even self-healer.

An ability that can make a party function no matter where you place it, so why is its tier so low?

If you ask that, the answer is simple. Because all of its capabilities are mediocre.

‘Still, it would be better than having nothing.’

: Unfortunately, you haven’t completed any quests yet.

‘I know. And I never will.’

[Quest Failed!]

[Penalty: None]

[You chose not to open the door. Was that a wise choice?]

‘Yes.’

I slowly observed the situation.

The woman placed her hands on my parents’ foreheads as well, then shook her head.

“Looks like nothing.”

“…Results?”

“Both the man and woman have no abilities. The child has the possibility of awakening in the future—”

And then, I heard the sound of my ideal shattering.

Crunch.

Have you ever heard the sound of a human head being crushed?

I hadn’t.

Yes, I thought I never would.

The sound was similar to a grown man crushing a fragile fruit.

Such a sound was heard.

I immediately covered my mouth with both hands.

I closed my eyes.

I curled up tightly inside the wardrobe.

I held back my tears.

I experienced the death of my family right before my eyes.

Voices were heard.

“What are you doing!”

“Our mission is to eliminate beings that will become calamities within the next 20 years.”

“Yes, that’s right, but…”

“Then, we must also kill beings with the potential to awaken abilities in the future.”

“They’re still children!”

“They are seeds.”

Red blood stained the blanket. I barely managed to hold onto my sanity.

Kill them right now, get out of this wardrobe and kill them. My instinct was screaming that.

No, rather than screaming, it was more like a shriek.

Fragments of finely crushed heads scattered on the floor of the house.

Nausea was coming over me.

“What about the remaining two?”

“They’re civilians. No abilities. No possibility of awakening in the future either.”

It was looking at my family with a strange gaze.

I had an ominous feeling.

And then, I heard a sound.

[Quest Complete!]

[Congratulations! You have killed others!]

‘What are you saying?’

: If you had opened the door and died to the visitors, your little brother wouldn’t have died.

‘No. They said my little brother also had the possibility of awakening abilities. After killing me, they would have killed my little brother too.’

: Is that so? Then what about that?

‘What do you…’

Crunch, crunch.

Two heads disappeared.

The remnants of what were my parents.

I must have bitten the hand covering my mouth too hard, as blood was slowly seeping out.

I looked at that scene with both eyes open.

I covered my ears.

Yet, the sounds continued to flow in.

“…Please don’t act unilaterally.”

“No, this is also a seed. Even those without abilities have the possibility of becoming calamities in the future. It is planted in the human mind.”

“There was no need to cause unnecessary casualties.”

“Parents who lose a child become ferocious. Likewise, a cub that loses its parents.”

Ah, they were planning to kill everyone from the beginning.

From the start.

: No. No. They died because you didn’t open the door!

‘Shut up.’

: Aren’t you curious about the content of the prophecy? Shall I provide a service?

‘I said shut up.’

: The content of the prophecy is this: [The seed of calamity is in the only house in the building that won’t open the door.]

I kept my mouth shut.

: That’s right! You killed them!

: Therefore, you should receive a reward, right?

I closed my eyes.

[Quest Complete!]

[Congratulations! You have killed others! (And as many as three!) (Even family!)]

[Receive Reward]

Even though I closed my eyes and shut my mouth.

My sobbing voice leaked out, and in my vision, I could still see the status window blaming me.

: You can’t escape. Accept it. This is your destiny.

[Receive Reward]

Ah, this was the intention from the beginning.

From the beginning, all along.

Forcing it.

“Wait, I heard a sound.”

The man started approaching the wardrobe.

Both his hands were stained with blood.

My enemy who killed my family.

: You are a heroine!

: Kill the enemy before you!

: This isn’t a quest! There’s no reward! By your choice! By yourself! Kill!

[Shadow]

[It has been with you since birth.]

[Your ability moves as naturally as your arms and legs.]

[Shadow with physical mass and strength is your ability.]

I don’t know what the status window wants.

I don’t know what the other side wants.

What I want, I could clearly know now.

I wanted to kill the enemies who killed my parents.

The sky looked black.
