People don’t know that this place is the Demons castle.
I’m the only one who knows everything about this game! I’m the only one who knows that this place is the Demon King’s castle!
Externally, what people knew was that this was the family of Count Daimon the Margrave who guarded the northern front.
This is a family created by the Demon King and some of his subordinates disguised as humans.
As a demon who loathes humans, this family must seem utterly pointless to him.
If it were up to him, he’d probably wipe out all humans.
But the reason the Demon King remains stuck in the human world is only one thing.
It is ‘to find the power that is sealed.’
The Demon King, having lost his power, could no longer maintain the Demon Realm and was forced to descend to the human world. And he made a vow: the moment he regains his sealed power, he would wipe out not just the human world, but the Demon Realm as well.
However, that resolution is never realized. Just as the Demon King is about to regain his power, a hero who has grown strong ends up killing him. Naturally, this leads to the death of all the demons.
“Simya…”
I buried my face in my small hands and swore again.
At the end of my sixth life I died at the age of fifteen.
Then in my seventh life I became the daughter of the Demon King? A role where I will still die in the end? What nonsense! What a crazy system!
‘Should I just die?’
Since I no longer have the ability to reincarnate, wouldn’t that way I would be able to escape the horrible cycle of reincarnation if I died here?
‘The system called me a rogue faction, didn’t it?’
That’s why I was reincarnated as the Demon King’s daughter, becoming a hidden character.
‘However…’
What will happen if I kill the hero again this time?
‘… mya?’
I suddenly raised my head.
I know everything about this game.
I know where the Demon King’s power is sealed and how to break the seal.
What if I help the Demon King and make him defeat the hero?
How about we just break this <Raising a Hero> game?
‘That way…’
Could it be that I will be able to live?
Not only alive, but maybe also able to destroy this annoying game system?
Ring!

A new mission has emerged.
Would you like to check out the mission? Y/Y
The window system that appeared while I was still alive was the most important thing. But that way I can be sure that what comes first to my mind is ‘the right choice.’
‘Accept.’
Final mission <Toward the destruction of the game!>
You are a rogue faction that has turned against the hero. If this continues, you will face death. There is only one way to prevent your death: eliminate the hero!
Unseal the Demon King and help him kill the hero. You must kill the hero with the Demon King’s hand to achieve the ‘Destruction Ending.’
Rewards:
1. Survival
2. ???
Failure: Death
“Ughhhh! (Ugh! This is awesome! I must be crazy!)”
I screamed while thrashing around on the bed.
For 90 years, I had been sacrificed as a game character. And now, I could lead the game myself? My heart was racing.
‘I will survive.’
I’ve lived six lives, and I’ve learned and continue to learn a lot during that time. So I can definitely do it. Using all my knowledge and abilities, I’ll raise the Demon King and…
‘Let’s go to ruined the ending!’
So I quickly crawled to the door.
Growl.
Because I was hungry, so I had to eat something.
***
Ever since I learned that this place was the Demon King’s castle and I was his daughter, I didn’t even wonder anymore ‘Why is a baby like me confined alone in a room?’
The reason is simple.
Because those devilish bastards never parented in the first place.
‘The strongest survives.’
They just ignore it and let the survivors survive. If not, then the only thing that will come your way is death.
The demons were crazy enough to abandon a one-year-old child and let the little child fend for herself. But after all, there were four people in this family who could survive that way.
‘So I have to move too.’
I managed to reach the door by crawling desperately.
The tightly closed door opened more easily than I imagined. To be precise, it opened as soon as I touched it. There seems to be a spell embedded in the door…
“Mya, mya…”
As I grew hungrier, I started crawling hard. My whole body was covered in dust. I didn’t know where the kitchen was. But I moved on instinct. Once I got down the stairs, I would definitely find something! I kept moving with that in mind.
At that time.
“Grr! Grr!””
“Myak!”
Suddenly I heard dogs barking and my hind legs were being pulled.
“Eumyaak! (What the hell, damn it!)”
I struggled and rolled on the floor. I barely managed to escape from the dog by rolling around, I caught my breath and assessed the situation.
“Mya…? (What is this?)”
What was in front of me was a three-headed dog.
So that dog.
Dog.
A dog…?
‘Cerberus?!’
Cerberus didn’t come near me. Because he was bound with chains.
I felt reassured by the chain hanging from the neck of each cerberus. Then I slowly turned my head to follow the person holding the chain.
“What the… Who are you?”
“What’s with this tiny kid?”
I saw young children with striking red hair and deep black eyes.
They looked about three years old. Seeing how identical they were, it was obvious they were twins.
No, wait a minute.
Twin brothers?
‘… The twins of Count Daimon’s family?’
Oh.
I know these people.
There’s no way anyone doesn’t know them.
How could I not know about these people who roamed the continent with such rude personalities and haughty natures!
They escaped from Count Daimon’s family at the age of ten and traveled across the continent. In the process, they…
‘They killed so many people.’
They will kill anyone who stands in their way. And even if they don’t get in the way, they will still kill recklessly. How many people have died from being around the twins when they were in a bad mood?
Was it the fifth moment of my life? That’s how my brother who had been bothering me welcomed death.
Of course, back then I shouted and said ‘Daimon is the best!’, but things are different now.
This is a situation where my life could be lost if I make a mistake.
“Hiic!”
I hiccuped without realizing it. What an annoying young body. I couldn’t believe I was showing my funny side just because I was a little surprised.
I also regretted how silly I was, but how would the twins react.
“Hey, look at her. Do we look scary to her right now?”
The twins giggled and looked at me.
“Is she our little sister?”
“Yeah… Her appearance is different, but the mana I feel from her is the same.”
Their eyes lit up.
“Then should we kill it?”
“Let’s kill it!”
Why did it end up like this?
Excuse me, everyone.
Killing someone who can’t even speak yet is a very heinous thing. Don’t do this.
“Mungmung, attack!”
“Myaaaak! (You’re all crazy!)”
I screamed at them as they released the chains, but they only heard my screams and didn’t care about me. Instead, Cerberus leapt at me with sharp, flashing teeth.
If I get bitten by it, I’ll definitely die!
But…
‘I can’t die like this!’
Though I would finally get to see the devastating end of this game. But instead I was going to die just an hour after the game started! Is there anything more unfair than that!
[SYSTEM]
A quest has appeared!
Would you like to check it out? Y/Y
At that moment everything seemed to stop, as if all time had been frozen and a system window appeared before me.
I immediately accepted the mission without thinking about it first. Then a system window appeared containing.
Subquest <Escape from danger!>
You are in danger now. If you continue like this, you’ll die! Poor thing… But if you think carefully, there might be a way to defeat Cerberus. I’ll give you 10 seconds so you can find a way to survive.
Content:
Defeating Cerberus.
Rewards:
1. Survival.
2. Favored by the twins.
Failure:
Death.
I don’t need to be favored by them!
Create something useful, you fxcking system!
I shouted inwardly, but the system window just blinked and gave no response to me. So I quickly gave up and focused my attention on the cerberus that had stalled in front of me.
The system said it would give me 10 seconds.
“Huwah.”
I took a breath.
The cerberus was probably ten times bigger than me. The three heads showed their eagerness to bite me with great intensity.
If I continue like this, I will die without being able to move.
But the system has given me 10 seconds.
Ten seconds is enough.
“Attack her, Mungmung!”
“Grr! Grrr!”
The time it took to release the magic engraved in my soul was enough.
“Myaaah!”
An arrow filled with mana shot out from my hand.
