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

Faust... Marlina knew this identity of Ansel. During that brief day in the Imperial Capital's black market, this name had left an indelible impression on her.

"Many people have come to see Lord Ansel recently, but the only one he personally received was the wife of the Duke of Azuregold, and..."

Rhine's cat eyes narrowed slightly. "I only found out about this the next day. That damn bird hiding in the shadows bypassed me, as if declaring sovereignty."

The coldness in her eyes, the chilling aura she now exuded, seemed to have an explanation—the bird in the shadows... is it the head of the Shadewell?

"This matter need not be hidden from you, Marlina. As part of a proper transaction, I must tell you exactly what I need."
