——————
Ansel of Hydral, the Empire's most notorious villain, devours a peculiar being known as a "Traveller". 
In doing so, he glimpses a future of despair, a foreordained future featuring a war-god who can shatter armies, a saint bearing great sins, a mage discerning the truth, and a heroine of unassailable morality... These formidable "she" would destroy his family, his empire, everything he holds dear.

Upon truly recognizing the cruelty and weight of fate, Ansel has an epiphany.

"If the Empire requires reform, then there is no need for a so-called protagonist. Armed with this knowledge, I can effect change far more efficiently."
"And as for you, the world's chosen ones..."
"If destiny dictates that you cannot be obliterated, then I have no option but to make you fall... fall with me to the very end of the abyss."

In essence, this is a tale of a villain rebelling against fate, taming the chosen daughters of heaven, all while orchestrating a transformative revolution in the world.

A Villain's Way of Taming Heroines

He pointed again to a distant tower, "Yuktreshil, the foundation of the Etheric Academy, their sorcerer tower, their alchemical fortress. They all have stood in the Imperial City for four hundred and sixty-nine years."

"Yet these four hundred and sixty-nine years, nothing has changed."

Ravenna's heart began to beat faster.

She had more than once doubted Ansel's motives for becoming her pen pal, then personally seeking her out, and now becoming her friend.

She considered herself a genius, but she also understood very clearly that she, at least the current her, was not worth the future Hydral's investment.

The most likely reason was to make her his pact head, but Ansel had already refused the pact head matter, for a vague and unclear reason.

What does he really want? After spending so much time with Ansel, Ravenna still didn't understand.
