32 – One thing is certain-
My parents were heroes, but they died after being attacked by a villain. It happened on her 10th birthday.

Fellow heroes took care of the money left by their parents.
When he confidently came out and said that he was attacked while conspiring with a villain and took money legally in the name of compensation, he was just a child who knew nothing, so he thought it was just something, and by the time he realized something was strange, two years had already passed. It was.
The heroes who always smiled at themselves and treated them brightly were in cahoots with the villains? Her parents are like villains?
She had doubts. But she couldn’t possibly have the money and strength needed to get rid of those doubts, and she found it difficult to even survive right now.
All she has left is her younger brother. She did everything she could to survive in this world. Due to her stigma of being the child of a hero, she was always chased by villains, and instead of receiving help from the heroes and citizens, she was oppressed by saying that she was the child of a swindler.
Why do I have to live like this? With that kind of heart, I resented heaven and hated the world, but I couldn’t just live in a broken state.
He turned his hatred on the world. She wanted to avenge her parents, she wanted revenge on this world, she wanted to tear everyone apart and kill them all, regardless of whether they were heroes, villains, or even just citizens.
As she continued her life as a thief, moving forward through her alleyways for another year, she unleashed her superpowers.
I was happy at first. Because she now has the power she longed for. When she found out that I had the same fire-related abilities as her parents, she thought that my heavenly parents were watching over me.
She went crazy, killing people and stealing their money. She burned the heroes who were related to her parents to ashes, and when she found out about the organization called the Evil Brigade that killed her parents, she destroyed two branches and erased the broadcasting station that reported related facts from the world.
She got shot, and her entire body was covered in ooze from burns – but at that time, I was so consumed by her desire for revenge that I didn’t think anything of it. Maybe she would have been happier.
For her younger brother, for her parents who died unjustly, and for her own satisfaction. When she was burning so madly for revenge with three promises – she finally realized her truth.
She couldn’t remember whether it was when she killed one of the high-ranking people and read the strange documents. But the words she saw then will never be erased from her mind.
The world was right. Her parents were in cahoots with the villain. The heroes who confiscated the money really did so fairly, and the world’s gaze on them was, in a way, justified. Because he wasn’t killed by the villain in the first place.
She fought with the heroes, killed them, and was eventually killed herself. Thinking that this could be a shock to the child, she thought that if she had not told a white lie, the situation would not have come to this point.
One of my three resolutions, to avenge my parents, just burned away. At the same time she realized what she was doing.
But she didn’t stop. Because she had her younger brother. Because her younger brother, who was two years younger than her, was an innocent child who had no idea what she was doing. She lied and made up her own excuse, saying that she needed more money to protect him.
However, her younger brother did not seem to think so. He developed superpowers, he said he wanted to become a hero, and he was trying to move forward. In that way, I lost two of my three resolutions.
No, more precisely, I lost all my resolve. Committing her murder and extorting her money for her own sake meant living the same life as the villains she hated most.
Perhaps, if her evil brigade had not targeted her and her younger brother with their hatred, she would not have committed suicide in her room that day. It’s just an IF that’s gone now, but I think that’s just the way it was.
Yes, back then – if Hyunwoo hadn’t led the villains and saved them, she wouldn’t have been able to live this life now.
Well, this happens and that happens. What does it matter what happened? Isn’t life pretty bad now? I found someone I loved and a colleague – it wasn’t all that bad. I was so happy that I was smiling sincerely just an hour ago.
“Huh, really…”
She felt great until that bastard started scratching her with his words.
Kim Eun-ji, who went from a young girl to the worst villain-
“It’s ridiculous.”
Villain Ash’s expression distorted as she looked at the villain in front of her.
Scouts? Well, let’s say so. Honestly, it was understandable that she would use her appeasement first against her difficult child. So she just stood still and listened to the story.
Of course, I had no intention of letting go. In the first place, the evil brigade was the ones who continued to pursue her and her younger brother in hopes of tearing them to death. Ash said she wasn’t self-respecting, and she wasn’t ungrateful enough to hold on to them just because they reached out for her now.
“Who knows who is crazy about money? Plus what? Hundreds of millions of dollars? It’s funny. What does the villain do with it? Are you trying to buy drugs?”
When she first brought up the topic of money, she just thought it was funny. She doesn’t see anyone as crazy about money like Jewel, and there’s no way she would follow someone even if they gave them money, right? When she needed money, she worked hard to earn it to somehow protect her younger brother, and now she no longer needs to protect him.
Anyway, if you say you need it, they will give you money. Even an information merchant whose name I don’t even know yet and Jewel have so much money that even if you need a car, they will immediately buy it for you. Especially the former.
“I just smiled and listened to the story, so I was like nothing happened.”
Well, up to that point, it was worth just listening to it. Just because he was entrusted with the role of an adjutant in such a remote laboratory, it was worth listening to his will before he died.
But-
“What? “A bastard whose identity I don’t know?”
Anyway, this crossed the line. Leaving all that, the boss of her organization, the man she wanted to serve as her god, and insulting her crush was not something she could just ignore.
“Know that you will not die a nice death. “You f*cking bastard.”
I am so angry that my hair turns white. The feeling of coolness itself burns up as the firepower grows stronger thanks to anger.
If we say that her superpowers are influenced by her emotions, then for her, her anger is her power.
“Burning.”
Her hands begin to burn, and when she snaps her fingers, fierce flames dance and spread out in all directions like whips. The villain, a man who was no different from the unit commander here, who was looking at the scene, realized that the villain in front of him was determined to kill him.
“-Avoid!”
It is dangerous. Even though he doesn’t know it, the subordinates behind him are too dangerous. He created numerous ice swords, looked back and shouted-
“By any chance, is your ability the ability to talk to corpses?”
He gritted his teeth at Ash’s sarcastic remarks upon seeing the sight he saw and his frozen appearance.
It’s burning. Even though they were burning alive, not even a scream could be heard. Is it because the vocal cords just melted in the heat? No, I’m not sure about that. Anyway, just like the dead bodies that are now scattering only ashes, they too will now be oxidized to ashes.
“This… monster bastard.”
“I don’t know why you’re saying that when I know you’re a monster.”
All the swords I made melted. The man shuddered at that fact. He is a person who has reached enlightenment even though he is rotten, and is looking forward to full bloom. And yet-
“Burning.”
“Tsk-“
Aren’t you completely fooled by the heat that comes out with just a single gesture?
“…10,000?! A kid like you?!”
“Huh? Ah, the stage of sharing that ability?”
Ash clicks his tongue as if annoyed. Her clothes began to burn little by little from the heat, and the skin exposed by the gradually disappearing clothes was melting, and the skin on her face, which had already been exposed, was increasingly covered with burns and oozing fluid.
How strong is the heat? Or rather, what has happened to the ability that causes one to be hurt by one’s own ability? I had never heard of someone with such power and flame-type abilities.
“I had already reached that point a long time ago, but when was it… The day I met the boss? Anyway – I have a lot of questions. “What does that matter now?”
The ice was melting as it approached little by little, and the swords that were thought to be able to tear everything apart soon disappeared without a trace – and it was the same for the men.
“You’re going to die soon anyway.”
“Ugh-“
The man, who was trying to say something with his mouth, soon realized that no voice was coming out of his mouth and lowered his gaze.
“Ah-“
The smell of meat cooking, the sight of skin melting. As if he couldn’t believe that all of this was his body – the man closed his eyes once, then opened them again –
“-?”
He stopped thinking as he realized that he couldn’t see anything, or rather, that he couldn’t open his eyes again.
“…Tsk. I thought he would last a little longer. “Why are you dying so quickly?”
He was not much different from any other villain as he burned and only ashes remained. In the end, he died without even being able to attack properly.
“A monster, a crazy b*tch… It’s the same thing I hear every day.”
Even though the vocal cords had melted, the shape of the mouth was still visible. The last thing he wanted to say would be ‘monster b*tch.’
“Well, is it my part-time job?”
Okay, what if she is a monster and a villain? How about a pretentious b*tch who killed people indiscriminately?
“Uhm… You’re going to be angry again. “What if Eugene doesn’t treat me?”
Now that she is hurt, she has a friend who will heal her anger, and her boss, Hyunwoo, who will move forward with her.
“Just looking at it, it looks like he went to the middle, so I’ll go to him first!”
So she was okay. No matter what anyone said to her, she had a place to return to that understood her.
Ash immediately began humming her tune, and she began to head back towards the direction she had come from. There was no living person in the place she passed by – only a heap of ashes remained.
