——————
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 loyal hound, eager to share her triumph, boasted with joy: "This one was quite a challenge, but still no match for me, hmph!"

Ansel, observing the semi-translucent jellyfish carcass in Seraphina's hands, responded with a smile, "I knew you could do it, Seraphina. A mere lesser Tidecaller, how could it possibly stand a chance against you?"

"Hehe... Well, it wasn't entirely my doing, Ravenna helped me too. Ravenna... Ravenna?"

"Why do you stand there, lost in thought?" Seraphina gazed with a hint of perplexity at the petite sorceress nearby, who could easily be lifted with one hand, "You are quite formidable, indeed. Those 'buzzing' and 'whizzing' devices... hmm, they seem rather useful."

Seraphina's affirmation did not bring any joy to Ravenna, who merely nodded numbly, yet remained standing in place, seemingly unaware of what she should do next.
