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

"Do you know the purpose of strategy, Lord Sapphire?"

"...To compensate for a lack of strength," the Duke of Sapphire exhaled slowly and replied in a deep voice.

The deafening gunshot and Ansel's answer rang out simultaneously. The blaze and destruction spewed from the muzzle of Gleipnir instantly covered the shield with a web of cracks. Although the cracks vanished in an instant, the Duke of Sapphire's drastically changed expression indicated his situation was now quite precarious.

"Because you answered correctly, I used a relatively ordinary bullet."

Ansel explained considerately. "Now, the next question—Lord Sapphire, do you think I cannot see through your strategy?"

"...Please forgive our clumsy performance."

Edward Sapphire bowed deeply. "We are willing to pay for this foolishness, Lord Hydral."
