——————
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

The enigma of Eileen Ziegler's demise, a mystery quietly obliterated in the annals of the empire, remains unsolved.

Of course, Ansel, bearing the memories of that time-traveler friend, is well aware of the truth behind that cryptic "suicide". Three years ago, he intended to use this to utterly shatter Ravenna, but ultimately chose to abandon the plan.

Three years later, Ansel, who originally planned to completely destroy Ravenna, no longer needs or intends to use this crucial information. However, Suellen, in her attempt to win over Ravenna, turned this event, which had shaped her entire life and arguably made her who she is today, into an irresistible bait for Ravenna.

The threads of fate are thousands, even millions of times stronger than anything Ansel could whimsically manipulate in the black market.
