Chapter 2: No, It’s Definitely A Dark Fantasy (2)

‘This isn’t like her at all…’

It was a moment of true cognitive dissonance.

Let me reiterate, this world is a dark fantasy, and my sister is the antagonist who stands in the protagonist’s way.

She is absolutely not the type of person to wear a maid outfit and act cute in front of her younger brother.

She is the epitome of how vile and charismatic a noble villain can be, and she embodies that perfectly.

And I, more than anyone, knew that best.

I’ve spent 20 years with this person, after all.

‘Trash like you doesn’t deserve to be fed.’

‘You’re a disgrace to the family.’

‘The only thing you’re good for is dying for the sake of the family.’

I can’t even count how many times she hurled insults at me until I became an adult.

As the acting head of the family, tasked with ensuring its prosperity, someone as useless as me would never have been seen favorably in her eyes.

I should be grateful she even let me live.

“Master… I am a sow who loves only you. Please, treat this sow as you wish…♡”

But now, that sister of mine has changed like this.

She’s acting like a shameless whore—no, even worse than that.

Honestly, I’m utterly baffled by this situation.

So, why has my sister changed like this?

Well, I do know the answer to that.

‘How can this just be luck…?’

It was just luck.

As absurd as it sounds, it was sheer luck that brought us to this point.

###

Wearing a maid outfit and acting cute in front of a younger brother she had always looked down on—

Honestly, it was an incredibly embarrassing act.

‘Ugh… this is so humiliating. I want to die.’

Introducing herself as a “sow” to a younger man, especially one she had always belittled,

While pressing her breasts against him—she was truly mortified.

No, any woman who wouldn’t feel ashamed by such behavior would have to be insane.

‘But I have to do it.’

The reason she was doing this was to atone to her younger brother, Rovan.

‘I failed to do my part.’

To be honest, she had been all talk until now.

She had worked tirelessly for the family, and her efforts and passion were undeniable.

Laura was the kind of woman who would do anything for the sake of the family.

But passion and effort don’t always lead to results.

Unfortunately, her efforts bore no fruit.

She simply didn’t have the talent needed to bring prosperity to the family.

‘In fact, I almost ruined the family.’

Even though she had a blessed A-grade skill, it was only useful as a dungeon explorer.

For a young girl like her, rebuilding a crumbling family was an impossible task, and the family continued to decline.

It was too much for a young acting head to handle.

If things had continued like that, the family would have been ruined.

‘If it weren’t for Rovan…’

The reason the family didn’t fall apart was because of Rovan.

Her half-brother, Rovan Kaltz.

Unlike her and her sister, who were the legitimate children of the family, he was the son of a concubine and had only an F-grade skill.

It was only natural for her to look down on him.

As someone who bore the responsibility of leading the family, she couldn’t afford to be kind to a parasite who was of no use to the family.

Honestly, she had wished for his death more than once or twice.

‘It’s all thanks to Rovan.’

But ironically, it was him who played the most crucial role in saving the family.

When the family was on the brink of collapse and she was struggling to keep it together, it was Rovan who came up with the plan to save it.

At first, she was skeptical.

Why was he suddenly acting like this?

Was he even serious about what he was saying?

She couldn’t trust him at all.

After all, Rovan had no reason to love the family.

She couldn’t believe a word he said.

But soon, she realized.

‘Rovan saved the family.’

His words were like the prophecies of an ancient seer.

The more she listened to him, the more the family began to recover.

It was as if he could see the future, as if he understood everything.

Thanks to him, the family was saved.

And not just that—the family, which she had struggled her whole life to prosper, was now entering a golden age.

Looking at the family, which no longer had any risk of collapsing, Laura couldn’t help but feel ashamed.

‘I definitely told my younger brother that he was useless to the family.’

In the past, she had tormented him relentlessly.

She had subjected him to countless personal insults simply because he was of no use to the family.

She thought it was justified because he was a disgrace to the family.

But in the end, it was her younger brother, Rovan, who saved the family.

While she had been busy barking orders, she had only driven the family closer to ruin.

Who was the real disgrace to the family?

‘I was the most useless one…’

She had called her brother useless, but in reality, wasn’t she the one who was truly useless?

She was overwhelmed with shame.

She wanted to undo everything she had done in the past.

‘Even if it’s not me, Rovan must never leave the family.’

In this situation, her younger brother was planning to leave the family.

He said he was grateful for being fed and sheltered, but he wanted to become a dungeon explorer and leave the family.

Seeing Rovan like this, she couldn’t help but feel desperate.

He couldn’t leave.

He was too important to the family.

Unlike her.

‘I have to make up for it, even if it means sacrificing myself.’

That’s why she had to do whatever it took to keep Rovan from leaving.

Even if it meant doing something as humiliating as this.

She had to show Rovan her remorse and determination to atone for what she had done.

The actions she was taking now were part of that atonement, and she had to do it.

‘I can’t tarnish the family’s honor any further. We’ve already suffered enough disgrace. I have to stop him no matter what.’

This was the only way to prevent further disgrace.

###

Honestly, my head hurts.

‘My sister is a woman obsessed with the family.’

It’s not that I don’t understand her motivations.

My sister is, without a doubt, a woman obsessed with the family.

She became the acting head at a young age and lived her life with that sense of responsibility.

To her, the glory of the family is more important than anything else.

Nothing holds greater value to her than that.

‘Originally, the family was supposed to collapse completely… but I saved it.’

The reason she ends up fighting the protagonist later is to restore her fallen family, so her love for the family is genuine.

Since I saved the family, it’s somewhat understandable that she might feel some affection for me.

‘But still, this is too much.’

This is supposed to be a dark fantasy, right?

No matter how you look at it, doesn’t this undermine the whole dark fantasy vibe?

Can an enemy who almost killed the protagonist really act like this?

Honestly, the current situation is hard to comprehend.

‘And I was just too lucky.’

No matter how you look at it, saving the family was just a stroke of luck.

I didn’t expect things to turn out this well.

Do you think being a transmigrator makes me omnipotent?

‘No matter how I look at it, I didn’t think we’d make it.’

Even as a transmigrator, I can’t know everything.

The game I transmigrated into is a dark fantasy, and I didn’t pay much attention to the background.

Just playing the game was exhausting enough—how could I possibly know the background?

In that sense, I had to rely on luck and make some guesses.

If the family fell, well, it was a family destined to fall anyway.

‘But seriously, how did it come to this?’

In that sense, the current situation is truly astonishing.

How on earth did things turn out like this?

I’m starting to doubt whether this world is really a dark fantasy, but there’s something more important right now.

‘Shouldn’t we deal with this situation first?’

Getting past this current scenario.

Turning my sister into a maid and making her act cute.

Hmm… no matter how you look at it, this isn’t a normal situation.

“Uh… sis? Can you step back for a moment?”

Just as I was about to try and resolve this issue.

Knock knock.

Oh, come on… someone’s here.

The door opened, and an uninvited guest walked in.
