In the jazz filled roaring times filled with crime and excitement lies the bustling place known as Steam City. By day, the city remains a beacon of prosperity and success. However that is only because the light forces all forms of rancidity and unpleasantness into the shadows. At night, the real party begins..literally. The smell of liquor drenches the streets and alleyways causing everyone to be plunged into a stupor. Any money that lands into the hands of the partygoers or any other creep is done away with each night and the income found during the day is only sufficient enough to survive the night. Aside from the people with real jobs and careers that didn't involve factory working for cheap income, most people sought to one place outside the city for a glimpse of prosperity. Steam City lies in an arid desert miles away from any ocean. The one place outside of the city that people would even dare to venture to was known simply as the Reprieve, a mine where if you work hard enough and wish hard enough, you might find a bit of gold or a small diamond. However, a certain sect of frequent miners stumble upon something else on the Reprieve. Something that could change Steam City permanently.

After I suddenly died I possessed the body of what I thought was an extra within a novel. From then on my life was mostly calm, though not fulfilling. Until one day I discovered I wasn't just a background figure; instead I was an insignificant character who'd end up being the villainous Grand Duke's secretary, only to die shortly after being near him! But I had no choice, it was too late to change my fate, so I decided to live as obediently as possible under the orders of the sadist villain. But I still had a plan. Even before the female lead makes her appearance, I will try in every way to make the villain a little more normal, or at least ensure that the two do not meet, so that no one will face a harsh death, including me! And then, after the villain doesn't become obsessed with the female lead and becomes more normal, I will be able to resign and live peacefully. So I just cleared all the suspicions he might have about me in order to not incur his wrath and die like in the novel. * * * "I'll give you a choice." The corner of his lips raised crookedly. Though that smile did not reach his eyes at all. "One, don't resign and stay here forever..." His gaze was enough to unnerve me. "Two, let me kill those who dared to give you the idea of resigning...then don't go and stay here forever." No, haven't I already made sure that the villain has become a little more normal!? ...What the heck is going on!? He shouldn't be like this!
