——————
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

"...You might as well take a guess." Marlina, her face pale from the pain, forced a smile.

"When Mr. Faust returns, will you lose your left hand, your right hand, or perhaps... that beautiful, delicate head of yours?"

Meeting the violent and savage gaze, Marlina did not flinch. Instead, her smile grew even brighter: "It's just a small gamble. Miss Snake Attendant is not a gambler, so she chooses to watch. What about you, madam? Do you want to join the table?"

"...Using this fortune to bet on my rusty copper coin?"

The Queen Bee squinted slightly, pausing her actions and turning to the Snake Attendant: "Is that Faust worth such caution?"

"Perhaps not." The Snake Attendant replied impassively, "Just try, and you'll find out."

"Fine, let me ask another question..."

Yvaine's gaze turned colder, seemingly dissatisfied with the Snake Attendant's perfunctory answer: "Why did Mr. Faust kill?"
