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 the luxurious drawing-room, Ansel toyed with a black feather, while Marlina sat opposite him, her head bowed as she recorded something.

"Margarate," Ansel propped his chin up with one hand, gazing at the earnest expression on Marlina's face, "What are your thoughts on Mr. Milo?"

The girl's pen paused. She lifted her head, a contemplative look crossing her features, and after a moment's reflection, she replied, "Judging by the documents and materials in his office, Mr. Milo has never truly cared for the 'prosperity' of Dispute Fortress. As long as he could bask in the adoration of thousands, akin to an emperor, whether it was Dispute Fortress or Peace Fortress, it made no difference to him."

"He treats the populace as tools. No… not tools, but assets, possessions... objects to delight himself."

Marlina's thoughts drifted to the day Ansel first unveiled the harsh truths of this world, allowing her mind and spirit to transform amidst despair.
