I Became a Witch and Started an Industrial Revolution

Transmigrating into a magical world, the protagonist awakens as a witch, discovering that magic, controlled by a privileged nobility, has reached its apex of exclusivity. Believing magic, like industry, should benefit the world, they resolve to challenge the existing order. This world needs more than another witch or noble; it needs someone to empower ordinary people, proving mortals possess their own strength. The narrative unfolds with the introduction of an industrial revolution, fueled by steam engines and revolutionary transport, driven by the fusion of magic and industry. Advanced weaponry like muskets, cannons, and tanks, alongside war fleets, signify a history advanced by conflict. This era sees a clash of systems, where muskets challenge magic and cannons confront mages, with "steel eagles" rivaling dragons and "tiger kings" battling behemoths. Science promises civilization, fleets offer dominion, and nuclear fire is presented as the ultimate truth. The protagonist, Mitia, declares, "I grant you war—to end all wars!" and asserts their claim to sovereignty, questioning why they shouldn't be the one to rule.
