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

Ansel, holding Ravenna's hand, approached the onlookers and inquired softly, "What has transpired here?"

"Ah... Oh? It seems that these two vegetable stalls have been facing each other for three days now. The murdered vendor, his vegetables were from that, uh, Pelican Trading… Commerce? Right, right, affordable and delicious!"

The respondent smacked their lips, "Indeed, they're delicious. I bought a bunch of radishes yesterday. I've never tasted radishes as good as these, and they were only a copper coin more expensive than the usual market price."

"So, you mean to say..." Ansel observed the unfortunate vendor lying dead at his stall, his tone filled with melancholy, "The other vendor couldn't compete with his sales, so he... murdered him?"
