——————
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

Once Ansel had left the alchemy workshop, Ravenna deliberately kept a significant distance from Marlina. In the workshop, which seemed bustling yet was actually desolate, the absence of that one person… seemed to drain most of the vibrant life from the space.

Marlina, standing quietly in the distance, gazed at Ravenna's profile, certain of one thing... With or without Ansel, Miss Ziegler was in a completely different state.

It wasn't a matter of ability or performance, one being superior and the other inferior, but rather a profound, almost illusory aura that she emitted.

Within this aura, Miss Ziegler rejected anyone's approach, any form of communication, any... interference.

Yet, Mr. Ansel alone seemed to naturally exist within this aura and even appeared to be able to shift it in the direction he desired.
