——————
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

In a study sealed in utter solitude, Ansel sat upon a bench, his gaze askance at the standoff between the pair dubbed "twins."

No, to call them twins would be a grave mistake.

For both were the absolute, the unequivocal, the undiluted essence of Ravenna Ziegler.

This was the crux of… the wager proposed by Ansel and Ravenna three years prior.

He aimed to prove that without him, "Ravenna Ziegler" was destined for naught but failure, not merely inconsequential, but driven to the most extreme straits, to the point of indifference or even… destruction of the Tower of Babel.

Yet, Ansel did not coerce Ravenna into this bet by threatening to erase her memories, but rather he offered her an extravagantly generous proposition.
