Hello. I remembered that back in August 2019 mothy tweeted this picture mentioning the winter comiket, and as we know the OSS:C novel got released there a few months afterwards.
I know there is no official confirmation from mothy's part, but what do you think of this pic as Magic Kingdom Levianta's crest?
As for why I think it's MKL's crest: it has Levianta's symbol in the centre, with two dragon-looking heads, with a crown on top (symbolising that it's a kingdom), and the 12 gears at the bottom (like the 12 royal capitals) in the shape of an M. and wings because dragons fly i guess
I'd rather wait until Price is done infomining the novel, maybe it'll be clearer later on. Although I'd rather an explanation for Eve's insanity since she seemed to have a much happier childhood than Adam, and yet she becomes a psychopath in 2 of her 4 incarnations
Quote: Considering that Eve is a confirmed Levia inheritor do you thik its safe to assume that Maria and Adam are Levia inheritors as well?
I wouldn't. Seth specifically said he got the venom thanks to Eve's DNA; wouldnt it be easier for him to get it from Adam or Maria, if that were the case? Also, none of the two have had the power of altering people's minds.
From my understanding, being an inheritor is yes genetic (like how the Netsuma clan seems to be all inheritors of Salem) but I think one can just be lucky enough to suddently be born with an inheritor ability, as was Eve's case. That, or Seth manipulated her genes like he did with Meta (and I'm assuming Irina too).
I'm really enjoying this so far, particularly how much development OSS Eve's gotten at long last. Makes it kind of sad what she becomes by the time Gift rolls around
I think we will definitely need to split the Levianta page into Magic Kingdom Levianta and Holy Levianta as was once suggested.
Big Agree on both
With that out of the way, I do think it's interesting that Seth was able to smoke a cigarette in MKL's time. Does that mean they knew about Maistia already? Or is it a magical cigarette.
He's definetely vaping, Octo. I don't think that they knew what Maistia was, especially given that their super technology is not developed by MKL, but just discovered via escavation sites. They might've discovered magically-powered cars and TVs, but it seems world geography doesn't interest them lol.
Anyway, it nice to have the confirmation that Nemu originally belonged in Magic Kingdom Levianta instead of Elphegort, since Eve's chapter says "The people of Nemu saw it (Held) as an evil god, but the people of the forest saw it as a guardian deity. The area with Held in it is inside the border of another country, and Leviantan citizens aren’t allowed to cross the border without permission". This is also consistent with the Pierrot novel, in which Irina narrates that to become 'Ma' one had to be a devotee of LeviaBehemo. It seems that Merrigod also belonged to MKL, so I'm glad that its borders were actually larger than Holy Levianta.
I suggest we wait for further information before discussing the spelling of new characters, for example Idora could be a reference to Idol (as in idolatry) or to something water-like (hydra in japanese is Hidora).
Sadly mothy's being inconsistent again, in the Gift bonus story it was stated that the Loop Octopus race had pink hair; but it's even darker than adam... At least this makes sense since they inherited Rahab's prophetic ability and all.
I would like to tackle how we are gonna name this novel, I don't know why there isn't a page for it yet, but it's better like this.
I propose we name it Original Sin Story: Crime, not only because it sounds less redundant than saying Original Sin Story: Sin (and the japanese for it isn't as repetitive, cause it's pronounced genzai monogatari: tsumi); but mainly because I think that it's a reference to Crime and Punishment, the novel by the Russian Dostoevsky - since we already know that its sequel is going to be called Original Sin Story: Punishment.
It would also be yet another Russian reference associated to Levianta.
I don't think this is gonna be a 2 page illust, because we usually get one at the end of the novel (and this is page 14)
I would agree to assume that SCaP takes place in the parallel world where Allen failed.
We could keep most of the SCaP info in the character pages... but if we were to assume that it is a parallel world, how about we make a section for SCaP and title it accordingly? Instead of making new parallel pages for everyone who appeared in SCaP.

I think it's a great idea since those gears accurately portray the gear element of the lullaby, how all the little pieces combined set in motion the endings, and how they are both the cause and consequence of one another
Thank you!! The part about Hansel&Gretel also explains how Rin Miroku and Kokutan-Douji have vague memories of their previous lives
Do you think that we can manage to have a page for the irregular Eve? It bothers me the assimetry, that Adam has one and not Eve. But I think that we have enough information to use so that she gets a page.
I suppose this twins are Adam and Eve. Maybe they aren't blonds, because reincarnation.
i too thought of that but Eve is younger than Adam... Meta was born in the same year as Adam but she is Apparently a Ghoul child and has no parents..... (its possible that seth is able to create ghoul children witha pre-existing soul, which would explain Alice being reborn as Irina, or the female twin being meta, but that is just my pure speculation).
i hope that mothy will elaborate on the unclear OSS plot points, since he said that theres more to come and that he wasnt really satisfied with oss
https://novel.pixiv.net/works/1013 the third chapter is up. Apparently in the very first section Eve is narrating. Then it cuts to the royal palace and it's basically the song's 3rd chapter. Tony Ausdin also shows and I believe he refers to Riliane as Postman
Josephine is definetely Riliane's horse. It can't be Josephine Francois as there's no surname.
It wouldn't be the only name he forgot, as Minis, the lucifenian revolution guys, and even Mikulia Calgaround are missing from the list.
late to the party but i'd go for Phutapie
glad we finally know what her surname means

I wouldn't mind that. By the way, it cant be Muspi because the syllable is clearly a "bi" (we couldn't tell with that low quality photo before)
