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

If once Ravenna believed she had no companions because none could match her stride, now, upon facing the unveiled truth, she realized it was not that they couldn't keep up, but rather...

But that she had always been alone on this path.

While everyone else had quietly shifted their course and mindset, believing they erred not and still pursued Eileen's vision...

Only she, pitifully, tragically, ludicrously... charged towards an unreachable endpoint, risking everything, sacrificing all.

This was the only lie told by the Tower of Babel's elite to Ravenna, aside from concealing Eileen's death—a lie that, upon her learning the truth, led her to ruin.

When she looked up, asking "Who among you still upholds Grandfather's vision?" she was met with silence.

—The puppet born from fifteen years of fervor was forsaken by that very fervor.
