——————
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

"I regret it has come to this, Lord Wyvern," the young Hydral sighed softly. "I offered you a chance. I had hoped we could deal with Evora immediately, but you've been consumed by desire and ambition."

Wielding power amidst the sea of feasting flames consumed hundreds or even thousands of times more energy than normal. Otherwise, Ansel would have long since called upon Ravenna to unleash devastation. Why else would he need such intricate calculations?

The Duke of Wyvern's realization was correct—Ansel's initial plan was to lure him, or more precisely, to entice whichever Duke had been influenced by fate to harbor hostility towards him, into attempting an assassination. Ansel couldn't know exactly which Duke fate had chosen as its pawn, though he could make an educated guess. But this uncertainty didn't affect his plan.
