Now that the website has been fixed of the glitches, Drug of Gold shows up for the song title. Here's a summary for the prologue: I think we should definitely make a "Seven Crimes and Punishments (story)" article for this content. It's clear this booklet will cover a lot.
 * The first scene relates the past with the gods. They once had paradise before their world collapsed and they were forced to find a new home (taking a boat there).
 * Once they found this second world, they enjoyed paradise again for another 1000 years. Then something unexpected that they were unaware of came and ruined it for them all.
 * They have since dubbed this "Malice".
 * After "Malice" destroyed the Second Period, killing most of the gods, the four surviving gods and their 68 kin escaped.
 * The gods then went onto make their new world, directed by the sun god (Sickle).
 * The sun god created the light and air, the earth god created the land and sea, and the twin gods created the mind and body of the new creatures they were making.
 * As a result of making this Third Period, 62 of the kin died. The grieving earth god took their souls and put them deep into the land, creating a vast forest.
 * When the sun god proposed they leave this new world to the creatures they created, the earth god agreed.
 * However, the twin gods and the six remaining kin disagreed. As a result of the bickering, the sun god turned the twin gods into a double-headed dragon.
 * Deprived of their place as gods, the twin gods tried to destroy the third paradise along with the six kin.
 * The sun god took the boat he rode and dropped it in the world's north, and sealed the double-headed dragon and the six kin in it.
 * The creatures soon gathered there and created a single country. The sun god returned to the sky and the earth god chose to sleep with the 62 kin in the forest.
 * Thus the world was born.
 * Fast forward 1500+ years later and we got Allen inside the Black Box, where all information of the Third Period flows into (something Keel Freesis would've been overjoyed about, his narration notes).
 * The box is opened by Sickle; the dictator has destroyed the Millennium Tree Forest with her terrible weapon "Punishment" and the Third Period is coming to an end.
 * With the collapse of the Third Period, the boundary between the world and the underworld has apparently vanished, leaving only Sickle and Allen left in the Heavenly Yard.
 * Sickle's task is to meet with Held and Michaela so that he can meet with the individuals involved with the Demons of Sin in order to gain a deeper understanding of them.
 * Allen doesn't understand (as he already knows the world's entire history) and Sickle won't explain but this is part of his scheme and so tasks Allen to do it.
 * Allen's happy because meeting these people means he will reunite with the one person he wants to see.
 * Allen presses a switch in the box which is supposed to teleport him to the forest. He arrives at Held's "memory" of the forest (Michaela in her robin form and it not burned to an empty plain).
 * Held/Michaela summon the vessels of sin (the four mirrors connected by a chain and the two scissors connected by a string).
 * Michaela has Allen start with the sword.
 * After taking it, he meets the Demon of Lust, a goat standing on two, bird-like legs with a snake-like tale and six wings (two big wings and four smaller wings).
 * The Demon of Lust remembers him from when it possessed Kyle and shocked them with the meeting of "Princess Riliane" in the royal palace dungeon.
 * The Demon of Lust sends Allen's consciousness away to Asmodean, where the prologue ends.
