One day, she finds herself in a world similar to the one in the game; additionally, her body is now that of a fourteen-year-old girl. While things are a bit different from how they were in the game, one element has remained the same: she is the leader of the Arachnea. The insects under her control, collectively known as the Swarm, praise her and implore her to lead them to victory.In order to survive, she raises her Swarm and forms friendly relations with the elves of the neighboring forest. But after a slaver traveling through the forest murders one of her Swarm and the nearby kingdom''s knights burn down the elven village and massacre its people, she prepares to launch her counterattacks in the name of revenge.However, revenge is merely a pretense for attacking the countries of this world. Her command is masterful and severe, as one who has played the game in real life...

After subjugating three countries, Grevillea sets her sights on her next target: the supreme military power and land of swooping wyverns, the Nyrnal Empire. In order to secure a path into the country, she must first seize the neighboring Eastern Trade Union. The Union’s capital city of Khalkha is a paradise where any and all pleasures are within arm’s reach—but when Grevillea and Emperor Maximilian vie for supremacy, will its utopian streets run red with blood?

The Arachnea and the Empire, the two remaining great powers on the continent, clash for the right to rule. As Grevillea’s secrets are dragged out into the light, the story hurtles toward its climax!

Nine-year-old Astrid has been reincarnated as an otome game villainess, and now she’s locked in a battle with fate that she refuses to lose. Although she has found herself powerless to stop the sequence of events that she knows will end with her destruction, that could all be about to change. With a talent for magic and some knowledge from her geeky past-life, she’s already made herself an automatic pistol, an automatic rifle, a shotgun, a machine gun, and a grenade launcher. That’s quite an arsenal for a little girl in a world where soldiers still use crossbows...but it’s still not enough! Astrid won’t stop until she has enough firepower to make her unassailable, and that means bigger guns, more combat experience, and some morally questionable magic. She’s going to tear fate a new one, even if it means bringing down an entire empire!

As the heroine’s entrance draws ever closer, eleven-year-old villainess Astrid Sophie von Oldenburg is determined to defy her fate, no matter the cost. Now, the overwhelming power she craves may be within her grasp: after slaying a dragon, Astrid has drawn the attention of a secretive sect of witches willing to share their knowledge. Their lost magic—a collection of forbidden arts and blood magic spells—could be exactly what she needs to improve her guns and boost her war potential; it could even be enough to tip the balance in her favor should her family rise up against the empire. But since all good witches need a familiar, Astrid has her eyes on a divine beast powerful enough to fight by her side. She’ll have to tame it first, though. And when the dust settles, maybe she’ll finally be able to make that love potion and bring a spark to her ailing love life. After all, be it through love or war, Astrid’s determined to annihilate her fate by any means necessary!

Shotgun-wielding otome game villainess Astrid Sophie von Oldenburg is now in possession of a small arsenal of modern weapons powered by fantasy-world magic. But it’s still not enough to strike back against fate! Driven by her love for all things military related, she’s not about to stop recreating or firing her favorite guns anytime soon. However, her parents are less enthusiastic about their daughter’s newfound obsession with magic; can Astrid rise to the challenge of keeping them happy? And how will she fare when she comes face to beak with a griffin and the tiny fairy in its talons? Many trials await her, but she swears that through the power of bigger and better weapons, she’ll tear fate apart!

Having reached the age of six, Astrid has begun attending the Satanachia Academy of Sorcery. Her school life is nothing short of a minefield: she’s required to attend an orientation camp with all of the game’s love interests, rumors of her engagement begin to spread, and she even encounters a large poisonous bird. Fate seems determined to push her toward catastrophe! Be that as it may, Astrid is determined to enjoy academy life regardless. If she treads carefully, she may learn some advanced magic and make a few friends; every little bit helps as she works to blow her fate to bits!

In the course of her tireless efforts to avoid the terrible fate that awaits her, otome game villainess Astrid Sophie von Oldenburg has signed up as an assistant mage for the Adventurer’s Guild! Not only does it pay well, it’s also a great excuse to get outdoors and put those guns of hers to good use. But when Astrid finds herself facing a beast more fearsome than anything she’s encountered before, she’s left feeling that her existing arsenal isn’t up to scratch. Time to call upon Mister Gnome to make bigger and better weapons! Meanwhile, the elite noble children of the academy have decided to invite (force?) Astrid to join a club known as the Round Table. When she accompanies the group on a trip to a lake, it means finally taking a break from her magic and weaponry. Or does it? After all, Astrid will stop at nothing to turn the tide in her battle against fate!

Now that otome game villainess Astrid Sophie von Oldenburg has charming imperial prince Friedrich head over heels for her, what’s her next move? To shove him off onto the heroine, of course! Boys who’ll bring the wrath of the empire down upon her family aren’t really her type. Thankfully, she knows just the spell to redirect his affections, and maybe she can even use it to clear a few mines too... Ultimately, however, the heart wants what it wants, so Astrid still needs a backup plan to overthrow the empire; naturally, hers is an arsenal of advanced military hardware. She’s been looking for a good excuse to test her weapons, so what better target than a century-old fire dragon razing a local village? Astrid’s bringing out the big guns and making Swiss cheese of her bad end in this final volume of the Villainess: Reloaded! manga.

After quickly conquering the great power of the north, the Kingdom of Maluk, Grevillea and the Arachnea prepare for their next war. They set their eyes on the Dukedom of Schtraut, a country of merchants northeast of their territory that will provide a shortcut to defeating the other nations.Accompanied an elite squad of her strongest units, Grevillea sneaks into the Dukedom and begins gathering information on the country’s topography, defenses, and culture. She and her group establish themselves as members of the local Adventurers’ Guild, and they begin hunting monsters to fulfill the guild’s quests. While they work to form connections, however, Grevillea secretly prepares to bare the Arachnea’s fangs against the Dukedom...
