Original Sin Story

The Original Sin Story is a multi-media series conceptualized and developed by Akuno-P. It belongs to mothy's larger Evillious Chronicles. Originally told in song, the series has since been referenced in numerous works by mothy, revolving around the prophesized destruction of the Magic Kingdom Levianta and the crime committed by one woman in the forest.

Setting
The series is set in Bolganio, a fictional continent in the series' world, with most of its major actions taking place in its western region, Evillious. The main storyline occurs around the northern area of the region. Originally, the series begins in a BC-esque era, but after the birth of Hänsel and Gretel, the Evillious Calendar (EC) is established and becomes the central timeline for events up through EC 015. Because of the prophecy made by Maria Moonlit, the Leviantan politics play a large role in the events taking place.

Magic Kingdom Levianta
A large and powerful nation in the northern area of the Evillious region. Becoming one of the most magically and technologically advanced nation of its time, Levianta rivaled the Tasan Empire. Its people worship the twin dragon gods, Levia-Behemo. At the time, the country is being terrorized by the criminal organization, Apocalypse. However, Maria Moonlit's prophecy changed everything.

Kingdom of Elphegort
A peaceful nation south of Levianta. Originally known as Heldogort, the country split off its religious ties to the Magic Kingdom in favor of worshiping the dragon god Held, the Magic Kingdom branded its followers as a heretic cult and suffered repression from its neighbor. It is said that the forest in the southern area of the country is inhabited by Held, believed to have incarnated as a tree.

Original Sin
The composite magical energy of the Seven Deadly Sins born in Eve Moonlit after stealing the infants Hänsel and Gretel and subsequently killing their mother, Meta Salmhofer. After Eve's death, the corrupted magic manifested as the witch's burnt remains. Her foster children then split it into the individual Deadly Sins before scattering the Demons of Sin across the world.

Ghoul Child
An artificial human created via scientific experimentation. They tend to suffer a harsh social stigma for their existence and live difficult lives for various reasons. The process of creating a Ghoul Child appears to be native to Levianta and is assumed to have been lost after the country's destruction in the Levianta Catastrophe.

Sin
A forbidden ark-shaped device in Levianta, containing the twin gods Levia-Behemo. It was brought into the Third Period from the previous world. Maria Moonlit prophesied that it would bring destruction to the Magic Kingdom, leading to the creation of Project 'Ma'. The machine was later used by Kiril to revive Elluka Chirclatia, causing it to create a monstrous explosion, enough to wipe out the Magic Kingdom Levianta and even affect neighboring countries; it was ultimately buried due to the disaster.

Seed of God
An element of the birthing process for Project 'Ma'. It is assumed to be the fertilizer for the selected candidate's egg to conceive the twin gods. It is injected into the recipient mother to conceive the twins.

Venom
A brainwashing drug used by Adam Moonlit during the first Project 'Ma'. The scientist utilized the drug to seduce Eve Zvezda and later persuade her to become a candidate for the project. It bears an obvious connection with the Sin of Lust and Duke Sateriasis Venomania, who would also have a similar brainwashing power to seduce women and manipulate them to his will over a century later.

Songs
When the series was first conceptualized, it was told in reverse order, with mothy releasing Abandoned on a Moonlit Night first, followed by Moonlit Bear. Since the release of Original Sin Story -Act 1-, the songs' story has been retold in a more linear manner while being divided into several "acts". Although not reaching the same popularity as some of his other series, the Original Sin Story has become an important backstory bridging into the Seven Deadly Sins Series.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The series is partially inspired by the Brothers Grimm's tale, Hänsel &amp; Gretel, and in some respect the Book of Genesis, particularly the Original Sin and the Fall of Man.
 * Each dedicated album's division into "acts" reflects a multi-act structure used in plays, movies, and other forms of media.
