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

"Finding good stuff in this market is a tough task, my friend."

Worker Bee tirelessly promoted himself, "Top-tier auction houses, material shops, even..."

Handing the necklace to Marlina, Ansel said this quite casually.

"...and top-tier alchemy workshops—hmm?" Worker Bee was momentarily stunned by Ansel's sudden agreement, his smile growing even more enthusiastic as he quickly nodded, "Alright, alright, is it the auction house, the shop, or..."

This time, Worker Bee was stunned for more than a moment. He paused for several seconds, then scrutinized Ansel with a peculiar look before finally revealing a knowing smile.

"Didn't expect you to go straight to the heart of the matter... Fine! Only a straightforward man deserves the best!"
