The Most Powerful Characters In The World Are Obsessed With Me

Dalia Pesteros remembered her past life when she was thirteen.

She was often told that she was unique even before she remembered her past life. She was the only one who felt uncomfortable in a world where it was natural to have servants.

But I swear I’ve never thought that I will remember my past life or that I might have come from another world.

But she suddenly remembered it. That this world is going according to the plot of <The Labyrinth of Ouroboros>, an otome game she played in her previous life.

And that meant Dalia’s life was ‘on the verge of ending’.

There are two reasons for this.

First, <The Labyrinth of Ouroboros> was a game about a 19-year old woman who has no dreams or hopes. [1]

Second, her brother, Hikan Pesteros, whom she had never seen even once for 13 years, was the most insane villain among the numerous male main characters in the original work. Even if you are his family, if you offend him, he can kill you right away without hesitation.

In that sense, how fortunate was it that he was the only son in the original?

‘But then, why?’

So why, in this world, has Dalia become his sister, who suddenly appeared out of thin air?

‘I’m doomed.’

There was definitely no such character in the original!

In the original book, which Dalia remembers, Hikan Pesteros was the only child of the Duke of Pesteros. However now, the Duke of Pesteros had two children.

Hikan, and Dalia.

In other words, it means that she herself is like a seasoning that was suddenly added to the original work <The Labyrinth of Ouroboros>. (*t/n: the raw translated to seasoning/spices. So i just put it in)

Everything else is the same as the original, then why did she suddenly fall into the position as the younger sister of the final villain that she wasn’t even confident of being. (*t/n: a bit confused with the wording here)

In fact, I didn’t really want to know.

Because of his misdeeds, the Duke of Pesteros will be exterminated in every route in the game. So it was certain that, as his sister, Dalia, will also be on the death row with him.

Fortunately, when Dahlia discovered the truth of the world, it was long before the original work began.

Hikan Pesteros is only sixteen years old now.

His mind began to break down after his 18th birthday when his mana started to manifest, so there was still plenty of time left.

‘Magic blooming.’

This setting is the main culprit that leads the story of <The Labyrinth of Ouroboros>.

In the Empire, there was a founding legend that a great dragon blessed the four Duke families and the imperial family, that one child per family with mana, will be born.

However, among the commoners, there were very few people with mana because of the promiscuous sex life of the emperors and dukes. (If all the male protagonists were nobles, it wasn’t fun, so it seemed like an added setup.)

Those who were born with such powers are called the ‘Transcendents’.

This magical power varies from person to person. For example, Dalia’s brother, Hikan, he alone, with only one sword, will be able to face the knights if he uses the ‘Magic Blooming’.

If you think about the game setup, some are specialized in assassination, and some can read people’s thoughts by making eye contact, so it’s roughly like this.

However, this has a fatal drawback. The more the transcendents use their power, the more they lose control and go berserk.

Moreover, it was also a problem as there was no way to restore their consciousness to normal.

The male lead candidates, who were originally half-turned, risked their lives to get rid of other candidates, to start a war, in a mana rush… …That’s how crazy it is. (*t/n: i’m not sure what it means by ‘half-turned’. Half crazy maybe (￣～￣;) )

And among them, Hikan Pesteros, who is originally a sociopath, is the first and the most crazy one.

‘It’s really crazy.’

I wish I could have been born in a more gentle world if I were to be reincarnated.

The only difference from this game setting was Dalia’s own existence.

‘……Maybe, if Hikan sees his cute sister, he will decide to live a healthy life?’

But Dalia removed such naive delusions from her head right away. This is an absurd idea that you can never do when you think of him in the original.

Hikan had lived with a relative’s family for some reason. Thanks to this, Dahlia has never met him for 13 years. So, she had no idea how the final villain is in the current state.

Dahlia thought maybe she could live like this forever.

However, Hikan and her meeting came sooner than expected.

* * *

It was when she was munching on the bread for a snack and doing the assignment given by the tutor. Suddenly, it became noisy outside, and she heard the voice of the imploring nanny.

“Young Master, you can’t! If you come in like that!”

Dahlia had already prepared her mind by that time. Ah, he’s finally coming.

As expected, her door opened wide, and a boy came in. An incredibly handsome boy with silver hair and blue eyes.

That’s her brother and the final villain in this game, Hikan Pesteros.

Although he is still young, his eyes were fierce enough to make an adult feel chills.

Dahlia was nervous and swallowed the bread in her mouth.

‘I think, I’m going to get indigestion.’

The mana wouldn’t have manifested yet, but that cold attitude seemed to make people believe that it had been manifested long ago.

Well, transcendents are different from others from birth. From intelligence to arrogance that does not care about the rules set by others as they are much higher than ordinary people.

Such a typical transcendent figure was felt from Hikan as well.

A bewildered nanny followed behind him.

“The lady still isn’t ready yet…….”

‘Ready?’

Dahlia opened her eyes round and looked at Hikan. He also looked at her with a look of indifference.

“Father is dead, Dalia.”

“……”

She glanced at the nanny. The nanny is in tears.

‘Poor nanny.’

She seemed to have been fidgeting all day, wondering when to tell Dalia.

But it wasn’t so shocking for Dalia, who regained her previous life’s memory.

Besides, my mother died shortly after I was born, and my father was too busy to be in the mansion, so I didn’t feel particularly sad.

‘Did you become crazy like that because you didn’t get love from your family?’

Besides, I remember clearly because I had thoughts like that while watching Hikan in the game.

I wasn’t that sad, but since it’s my father, for the sake of my nanny, should I pretend to be sad?

That’s what I was thinking, when I could feel a gaze.

It was Hikan.

He was looking at her. As if to observe. With cold eyes that have no affection.

Dahlia, a quick-witted person, noticed immediately.

Now Hikan was weighing her use. Where and how can I use this child, named after Pesteros, later?

I’ll see how she reacts when she hears that father is dead, and I’ll decide on how to use her.

People’s personalities are mostly determined in their childhood, so they think there’s nothing they can do about it.

‘What kind of humans is this!’

Dalia froze and stared blankly at Hikan.

“……..You don’t cry.”

At Hikan’s low voice, Dalia shook her head hurriedly.

Now is not the time for this.

Dalia is now in front of the original story’s greatest villain’s childhood. Now that I see it, Hikan’s personality has been in that shape since he was a child.

In the original work, Hikan’s family will be exterminated. She’ll also be shoved away as an added bonus.

So unconditionally, I had to run away from this family as soon as possible.

Whatever ending Hikan had as the final villain, it was his karma. At that time, Dalia should not be put on the death sentence with him.

‘Now that it’s like this, I need to lower his guard and find a way out.’

Dalia quickly set her position. Become an innocent, stupid little sister who knows nothing!

So the goal was to make Hikan think, ‘She is not worthy of my concern.’ Then aim for that gap and run away.

To do so, Hikan should not have been wary of her at all. I must be branded as a naive and foolish sister.

‘How can such a foolish person be a human being?’

Hikan approached her step by step.

My heart sank with nervousness.

Then, the leftover bread in Dalia’s hand suddenly came to her mind. It was the bread that she eat as a snack while doing homework. There was nothing more to think about.

She suddenly holds it out to Hikan.
