Alright, let’s admit what needs to be admitted.
Honestly, I’m screwed.
‘Why did I have to get reincarnated into this kind of world?’
If I had been reincarnated into a more reasonable world, maybe things would have been somewhat better.
A peaceful world with no worries—if I had been born into such a world, I would have pursued a slow life.
Sure, there would still be minor concerns, but that’s not a big deal.
I would have used the superior intellect of a reincarnator to navigate through life.
Honestly, if I were to be reincarnated, I would have preferred that kind of world.
No, not just me—everyone would want to be reincarnated into such a world.
‘Does it make sense to be reincarnated into this kind of dark fantasy world?’
But is it called hope because it doesn’t come true?
Or is it because even that kind of world is too much of a luxury for me?
Lately, even though reincarnation has become so common that it’s causing inflation, being reincarnated into this kind of dark fantasy world is crossing the line.
And it’s crossing it hard.
The world I was reincarnated into is absolutely not the kind of world I hoped for.
It’s a world where I have to risk my life every day, a so-called dark fantasy world.
‘There’s really no hope.’
Honestly, when I first got reincarnated here, I even thought about just ending it all.
That’s how tough this world is.
You can just die walking down the street, and even that would be considered a good death.
Illegal magic, human experiments, mental destruction, brainwashing, drugs, rape, murder—you name it.
This is a world where all that runs rampant.
It’s not just a world that calls itself a dark fantasy—it’s the very essence of dark fantasy.
If you’re born into such a world, maybe dying is the best option.
‘At least I was lucky enough to be born as a noble…’
But at least I’m still alive.
Because, as if to give me some semblance of hope, I was born as a noble.
Aren’t humans beings who try to live as long as they can?
I did the same.
If I had been born as a commoner or a poor person, I might have experienced life in this dark fantasy world for a few days before ending it all.
But at least I’m a noble, so the reality of this dark fantasy world didn’t hit me right away.
In that sense, I’m somewhat grateful.
At least I don’t have to worry about starving to death.
At least I can survive.
‘But even as a noble, my life is worse than a dog’s.’
However, there’s no other advantage to speak of.
Being born a noble, not having to starve—that’s it.
I can’t find anything else in my life, and my future will probably be the same.
What’s the point of being born into a noble family?
What are the chances that a noble family in a dark fantasy world would be normal?
‘In a world where you’re discarded if you’re useless, even if you’re family.’
It’s absolutely not normal.
As the saying goes, kindness is rare in a world where death is rampant.
Even family members can kill each other if it serves their needs—that’s what noble families are like in a dark fantasy world.
And I was born as the child of a concubine, not the legitimate wife.
I’m just not starving, but I can’t pursue anything in life, and I’m not treated like a human being.
That’s too much of a luxury for me.
‘Because I’m a typical useless person.’
On top of that, I have no special abilities.
If I had been born with the same talents as my older sister and younger sister, who are the legitimate children, maybe it would be different.
But I have no such abilities.
It’s not surprising, since I don’t even appear in the story.
My older sister and younger sister are characters who appear in one of the story’s branches.
Since they’re characters who stand against the protagonist as enemies, they have to be strong to some extent.
But I don’t appear in the story at all.
I’m a character whose existence isn’t even known, so of course I don’t have any good skills.
[F-rank Skill: Favor]
[Increases the favorability of the opposite sex by a very small amount.]
All I have is this trash skill that slightly increases favorability.
Just to be clear, this skill really only increases favorability by a tiny amount.
It’s not some hidden ability or a skill with incredible effects.
It’s just a useless skill that slightly increases favorability, and of course, it’s completely useless.
In a world where others can teleport or break walls with their bare hands, all I have is this worthless skill.
With such a skill, it’s no wonder I’m not treated well by my family.
‘Well, I get it.’
So honestly, I understand my family’s position.
To be honest, my family, though noble, isn’t exactly thriving.
In a position where they’re barely maintaining their noble status, they don’t have the time to care about the child of a concubine.
Especially when that child has nothing but a useless F-rank skill, unlike the two legitimate daughters.
I should probably be grateful that they at least didn’t let me starve to death.
I understand that logically.
‘But I don’t plan to stay like this.’
But emotionally, I feel wronged.
Just because I was reincarnated as an extra.
Just because I was given an F-rank, useless skill.
Do I have to live every day worrying about being kicked out of the family, begging for my life in this inexplicable world?
I’d rather die than live like that.
‘I won’t live on my knees.’
There’s a saying in the world I used to live in:
Don’t live on your knees.
Stand up and die.
I may not have lived a life confident enough to say that, but that doesn’t mean I have to live like a coward.
‘Even if all I have is this trash skill.’
So what if I don’t have any skills?
So what if this is a dark fantasy world?
I want to live like a human being.
And I have the ability to do so.
After all, I’m a reincarnator, aren’t I?
As a reincarnator, I know the entire story of this game.
Even if my skill is useless, I know the story and how to become stronger in my own way.
‘Do you think I became a reincarnator for nothing?’
If I use that knowledge, maybe I can live without worrying about my life.
Of course, given my circumstances and the fact that I have no skills, I don’t expect to become incredibly strong.
If we’re talking about the protagonist at the end of the story, I probably wouldn’t even be able to touch her toes.
But I don’t need to be that strong.
I just need to be strong enough to live like a human being.
‘Even with this trash skill, I’ll survive.’
So I made up my mind.
Even if I was reincarnated into a dark fantasy world, I will carry out my will.
Even if I was given a trash skill, I will pursue a human life.
‘I’ll turn this hopeless dark fantasy world into a comedy.’
I will definitely change the genre.
I vowed to give this world, which has abandoned humanity, a massive slap in the face.
‘I’ll wait until I become an adult.’
With that in mind, I decided to endure until I became an adult.
Once I’m an adult, I can enter the labyrinth.
When that time comes, I’ll leave the family and become a labyrinth explorer to grow stronger.
I’ll strive desperately to achieve my goal.
‘I’ll definitely surprise the world.’
I waited until adulthood with that thought in mind.
To show the world this reincarnator and surprise them.
But ironically, the one who ended up surprised was me.
“Master… please forgive this lowly bitch for her rudeness.”
Right now, there’s a maid hugging me tightly and refusing to let go, spouting vulgar words.
Anyone seeing this might mistake me for having hired a prostitute.
But the maid next to me is definitely not a prostitute.
“…Can you let go?”
You can tell just by looking at her face, right?
This maid with black hair and red eyes, even though she’s wearing a maid uniform and spouting vulgar words, exudes an undeniable grace.
Such grace isn’t something you see every day, so she’s definitely not an ordinary person.
“Sister…”
The acting head of the Kaltz family, to which I currently belong.
One of the antagonists who stands in the protagonist’s way.
Her name is Laura Kaltz, my older sister.
“Master…♡”
That sister is now wearing a maid uniform and acting all clingy towards me.
I’m really at a loss.
This is supposed to be a dark fantasy, but…”
