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

At the entrance of the dimly lit tavern, Marlina closed her notebook and shifted her gaze away from the wooden door from which muffled groans emanated.

Behind her, Inothea followed with crossed arms, wearing a sullen expression.

"You have no right to boss me around, Margarete."

Who knew how many times she had repeated this? Inothea, suppressing her fury, reiterated, "If you need a bodyguard, fine, I'll find you one. But it shouldn't be me—"

"Do you have such confidence in your subordinates?" Marlina glanced back at Inothea. "They disregarded my plans that day."

"I crippled them all, isn't that enough for you?"

"I do not harbor unnecessary emotions; I care only for the results. The result is... my situation was perilous, and my plan nearly failed. That's all there is to it."
