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

On the bridge spanning two streets, Ansel listened to Ravenna's irate complaints:

"Finding someone with no trace in three days? And you want me to do it?"

"You're quite good at ordering people around, Ansel. I'm not exactly your subordinate... not really."

"And you could have symbolically taken a single copper coin. Was it necessary to take everything?"

At this, Ansel cleared his throat. "Marlina took everything, not me."

"You shameless brat!" The scholar stomped on Ansel's shoulder in annoyance. "Don't shift the blame. Without your approval, would she have taken it all?"

Marlina initially wanted to explain that she acted on her own accord without Ansel's instructions, but she quickly realized she had no place in their conversation and that Ravenna wasn't serious.

"Stop complaining, my dear Miss Monster."
