This Villain Needs More Money

Lance, the lead writer of The Serpent’s Broken Promise, transmigrates into the game world. Using his knowledge of the plot and abandoning his conscience, he stops at nothing to make the characters he created submit to him. The cardinal of the Radiant Church upholds justice, appearing cold and dignified in public, but knowing exactly how to indulge herself behind closed doors. The languid sleeping beauty of the secret society, head of its entire underground trading network, becomes his pillow whenever she rests.
