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.

"To my knowledge, none within the supreme nine seats harbored overt malice towards Eileen. You could say... at least no one wished to directly end his life — the difficulty was too great, the cost too high."

"Yet he died, silently, ha... I initially thought it was a false rumor," the middle-aged man expressed with a hint of melancholy, "Who could have foreseen such an event?"

Ravenna remained silent, her delicate and beautiful visage exuding a frosty demeanor, rejecting any attempt to probe her thoughts.

"Yet you still suggest that if I continue my investigation, it will affect the Etheric Academy."

After a long pause, Ravenna spoke again.
