Plot Summary
Note: Summary pending as translations are acquired. The story opens with a text describing how, in the beginning, the gods had lived in paradise. After the paradise ended, the gods left on a boat and founded a new paradise, which lasted only a thousand years before being destroyed by Malice.

Only four gods and their sixty-eight kin survived, taking the boat and founding a new world. The god of the sun, the god of the earth, and the twin gods all worked to create the world and its creatures; while creating it, sixty two of the gods' kin died and the god of the earth buried them, creating a forest.

After its completion, the god of the sun proposed to leave the world to its creatures; the six remaining kin and the twin gods disagreed. After the twin gods were transformed into a dragon by the god of the sun and tried to destroy the world with the six kin, they were all sealed in the boat and left in the north of a country, where some of the world's creatures formed a country around it. The god of the sun returned to the sky and the god of the earth slept in the forest, leaving the world fully formed.

Allen Avadonia narrates how he memorized such biblical verses from the boredom of waiting for five hundred years. Although saying for him it's a long time, he notes that someone told him it would soon not be so; he explains he doesn't know the name of this person, the Sun God or "Sickle". Allen also states he passed time inside Black Box, through which all the world's information passed for him to experience. While still not understanding its mechanics, he passed his five hundred years in part due to this box, not able to communicate with others and not allowed out unless with Sickle's permission. He then notes that Sickle had placed him in the box to observe the world, but that now the world has been destroyed by "Punishment".

At that moment, the box is opened and Allen is greeted by Sickle; noting the god's apparent mood, Allen discusses with him the end of the world and Sickle has him depart from Black Box. Outside, Allen notices all the souls missing from the Heavenly Yard and Sickle informs him that they've been dragged down to the Third Period as it merges with the Hellish Yard. They both discuss Allen restoring all the souls back to the Heavenly Yard, Sickle then explaining he wishes Allen to review the world's history first.

He then elaborates on his intention to have Allen speak with a select number of people possessed by the vessels of sin for this purpose and Allen, wishing to see Riliane, agrees. Sickle instructs him to visit Held and Michaela, leading to a discussion on meeting her again. As Allen broods on his former crush, Sickle chides him for thinking instead of acting and the boy admits to his criticisms before preparing to go to the forest. Returning to Black Box, Allen is bathed in a white light and uses the transfer device.
