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

"You see, you know it very well in your heart," the youthful Hydral said softly, "Extraordinary beings like you, like your grandfather, are always a minority within a minority."

"In the eyes of most extraordinary beings, ordinary people are... not on the same level as them. The gap between the two is like that between humans and uncivilized animals. The stronger the extraordinary beings, the greater this gap, equivalent to... humans and ants."

"Why? Because the power has alienated their personalities? This is just one of the reasons, one of the most superficial reasons."

"The root cause is that this world is distorted, Venna."

Ansel lowered his eyes slightly, "The extraordinary makes the soul chase and crave for further progress, making extraordinary beings eternally pursue the possibility of life's ascension, but the nature of the abyss makes all extraordinary beings unable to realize this desire, stepping into madness in repeated torment."
