Surviving as a Brainwashing Villain in a Hero World 193

## Chapter 193 – Two Children With Pink Hair

***

As the tides of war that had swept through humanity and the world in the 20th century gradually subsided, strange and inexplicable phenomena began to be observed in various parts of the world.

Bizarre occurrences, such as waking up one morning transformed into an unrecognizable,异形 figure, or humans gaining the ability to manipulate natural phenomena at will.

Those who experienced these phenomena had little in common other than being human, and people named these magical abilities ‘powers.’

Some power wielders used their abilities wisely to live prosperous lives, but others, intoxicated by their power, began to attack people and seize unjust gains.

These individuals, who came to be known as ‘villains,’ were considered one of the biggest problems in modern society, and people in each country tried to solve this villain problem in their own way.

South Korea, devastated by the war, was no exception to the villain problem. The government at the time tried to solve it by creating a large-scale military organization, but they could not easily subdue the villains.

The economy and society, which had been gradually recovering from the pain of the war, were in danger of collapsing again due to the villains, and the citizens were eagerly awaiting the heroic appearance of someone.

“Everyone! Don’t worry! We will protect you!”

As if the gods had heard the wishes of ordinary people, several heroes appeared like comets at a time when the villain crime rate was reaching its peak.

With lines and costumes that resembled heroes from Western comics, they appeared with the powerful strength and righteous hearts to protect the citizens.

After the emergence of these individuals, who called themselves heroes belonging to the ‘Hero Alliance,’ the villain crime rate began to decline very rapidly.

The government was surprised by their appearance and began to investigate the ‘Hero Alliance’ thoroughly. Soon, they were able to meet the central figure who founded the alliance and the leader who led them.

“If the leader closely cooperates with the country to protect the people, we will spare no support.”

The leader was a man in his 30s with a tremendous physique that ordinary people had to look up to, and a very masculine and trustworthy appearance.

“If it is something that can protect the citizens, I will endure anything.”

He established a cooperative relationship with government departments, starting with establishing a headquarters in the capital city of S, and created alliance branches and hero training facilities throughout South Korea.

As time passed, those who inherited his righteous will grew up, and thousands of heroes and hundreds of thousands of organization members were trained.

And thanks to their efforts, the villains who were active in South Korea gradually decreased, and the citizens welcomed a world where they could live in peace.

The leader, who was leading the alliance and living a busier life than anyone else.

The leader, who was also a hero, had to protect the citizens of South Korea, but there were beings that he had to protect even more dearly than them.

After founding the Hero Alliance, the leader fell in love with a female hero who was also a founding member.

He promised to spend the rest of his life with her, who had beautiful pink hair and a kind heart, and soon, twin daughters were born.

“Daddy! Kyaaaa!”
“Haha! These cute little ones.”

Two daughters born with pink hair and crimson eyes, resembling their mother.

The two daughters, named ‘Sua’ and ‘Jia’ respectively, were so similar in appearance that even the leader and his wife had difficulty distinguishing them, but it was possible to distinguish them clearly by things other than their appearance.

Sua resembled her father in that she was upright, active, and had a righteous heart. She was the child who would run and hug him first when he occasionally returned home.

Unlike Sua, Jia was a calm and composed child. She did not express her emotions as honestly as Sua, but she was a very mature and kind child.

The leader and his wife tried to give both daughters love without discrimination, and thanks to that, the children grew up full of love.

“I’m off!”
“I’m going.”

As the two daughters grew up, their personalities became even more distinct.

Sua, who was outgoing, always liked to run around without a care, and although she had no talent for studying, she had a leadership that gave people around her confidence.

In contrast, Jia enjoyed a quiet and static atmosphere. Instead of being active, she had a brilliant mind and a considerable level of academic achievement.

The leader could always smile contentedly as he watched his two daughters grow, but an event that would make him lose that contented smile happened not long after.

As the Hero Alliance, which he founded, established a cooperative relationship with government departments and received support, the alliance had to be dragged around for all sorts of purposes, including villain crimes.

Being a hero was basic, and sometimes they took on the work that the police and military should have done. As a result, his work as the leader became so busy that he could not even turn his head to his family.

But that brief moment of inattention easily ruined his precious treasure.

“Dad is working hard today, so… shall we eat first?”

Early evening on a day when the leader had not returned, as usual.
The wife was having dinner with her two daughters while waiting for him.

– Clangㅡ!!

For some reason, she heard the sound of something breaking from the front door, and the wife reassured her two daughters and headed to the front door to see what was going on.

However, heading to the front door when that sound was heard was the wrong choice.

A villain with a great grudge against the Hero Alliance somehow found out about the leader’s house, broke down the front door in the early evening, and murdered his wife.

“No… what is this! This… this can’t be happening…!!”

From the day his wife died, the leader began to collapse rapidly.

“Find him immediately… find him right now!!!!!”

It was not difficult to find the culprit who killed his wife using the leader’s immense power.

He ordered the found culprit to be brought before him, and he carried out a very violent revenge, throwing the culprit onto the floor of his office.

– Bangㅡ Bangㅡ Crackㅡ Crushㅡ

“You trashy bastard… die… die… die…!!!!!!”

He violently slammed the culprit, whose entire body was bound with ropes and tape, against tables and desks, and did not stop stomping until the bones were crushed and the bottom of his pants were stained red.

But nothing changed by him doing such violent things.

It was not like his wife, who had already passed away, would come back, and there was no guarantee that such a thing would not happen to his remaining daughters.

The leader despaired.

He, the representative of the heroes who protect South Korea, had lost his family, whom he cherished more than anyone else, so easily.

He blamed himself for not being able to turn his head to his precious family even for a moment because of the responsibility of protecting hundreds of millions of lives.

The leader gradually began to lose his upright appearance from before, and only repeated the name of his dead wife while addicted to alcohol.

The death of their mother and the sight of their collapsing father also began to affect the two daughters who were growing up.

Sua, who was an active and healthy child, was so shocked by the death of her mother that she was diagnosed with a heart problem and began treatment.

“Sister… are you okay? Does it hurt a lot?”
“Dad! You haven’t eaten anything since yesterday. Please eat this and go out.”

Jia, who was always quiet and timid, took courage and reached out to the two of them first, trying to support her weakened sister and her collapsed father.

However, her sister’s physical condition became weaker day by day, to the point where she could not even go outside, and the body of her father, who was addicted to alcohol, was also gradually withering away.

‘Was it… was it because I was a timid child… that I couldn’t protect my family…?’

The heart of the young Jia, who wanted to support them, also began to collapse little by little.

She was only an elementary school student, but she was in a painful position where she had to experience her mother’s death and watch her family sink.

To make matters worse, as her father, the leader, was unable to do his job properly, the villain crime rate in South Korea began to rise again rapidly.

The leader refused to appear in public on the pretext of health problems, and the Hero Alliance had to face the biggest crisis since its founding.

The terrible situation did not subside even when Jia and Sua reached their mid-teens, and Jia’s collapsing heart began to twist in a very negative direction.

‘I hate it… I hate it… I hate it… I hate it… I hate it… I hate it… I hate it… I hate it… I hate it… I hate it… I hate it…’

She resented her father for not protecting his family while claiming to be a hero who protects the citizens, and she hated the incompetent humans who were always waiting to be saved by heroes.

And finally, she came to a conclusion.

That the existence of free will should not exist for human beings, and that they need a power suitable for an existence that will rule them with strong power and control.

To become that existence, one child with pink hair abandoned her name, and embarked on a journey to become a new ruler under the name ‘Kaiser.’
