Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I’m Not the Demon Lord — In Light Magic and the Hero, an otome RPG, heroine Alicia Ehnleit meets her three suitors before coming face-to-face with Yumiella Dolkness. Reborn at five with memories of modern Japan, Yumiella secretly grinds dungeon monsters to avoid her scripted defeat—and shocks everyone when her entrance exam at the Royal Magic Academy reveals her as level 99.

At the Academy, Yumiella’s raven-black hair and overwhelming magic earn her both awe and suspicion. There she meets Alicia, the kind-hearted Sacred Light prodigy; Patrick, a wind-magic noble’s son who becomes her first friend; and other ambitious students whose shifting loyalties will shape her new life.
