I'm on the Villain's Side

In this world where steam, gun smoke, and magic coexist, witches and vampires dance through grand balls,

priests sing ancient hymns, legions of mechanical beasts stand in formation along the border, awaiting the order to attack, and floating whales call out over the azure sky.

Though this world feels so real and wondrous, Hamit occasionally learns the truth:

this world is nothing but a story someone made up,

and she, Hamit Lorens, is merely a disposable extra in it.

She doesn't mind being a disposable extra.

After all, Hamit is busy developing her territory and increasing her power, and has no interest in the domestic scheming between real and fake heiresses.

Wearing the mask of a noblewoman who is frail and sickly, she can secretly drop expensive jewelry, splendid clothes, and tickets to high-society balls as plot props for the heroine. That sounds pretty fun, too.

But play a brainless extra just to make the male lead look like a peerless mastermind?

And lose her life because of a hopeless romantic's scheming, while also becoming the spark that brings down her family?

You've got to be kidding!

Standing atop the manor's towering spire, Hamit looked down over the vast territory of the Lorens family and its formidable knights standing in formation.

Her porcelain-white fingers lightly traced the dark, fearsome energy cannon, and flames blazed in her eyes.

All those who dared covet anything that belonged to Hamit, were they ready to face her wrath?

The background extra staging a comeback would show everyone who the real big boss was.

And the original story's main villain?

Well, they were old acquaintances, after all, and on the same side. If they wanted to stir up trouble, why not do it together?

Someone complained, "Hamit, we were engaged ages ago. How did I become just an acquaintance?"
