Second Period

The Second Period, otherwise known as Earth and later Gudnatia, was one of the periods in the Evillious universe and the point of origin of the gods and demons in the Third Period. Following the Second Period's destruction, the earthlings set out to create a new planet of humans in its image.

History

Early History

The Second Period was allegedly created after the destruction of the First Period. Known as the planet Earth, humans became the dominant species of the planet and developed extremely advanced societies. Some of their last achievements were the establishment of sentient artificial life forms, called "masks with wills", and the creation of the Black Box that allowed for manipulation of souls. As time passed, more and more earthlings were infected with Hereditary Evil Raiser Syndrome, causing them to sow chaos and destruction through their societies.

Creation of the Third Period

To save humanity, the earthlings launched multiple ships into space to reach inhabitable planets and repopulate them. Only one of them survived, the Climb One with a crew of seventy-two people, and the planet Earth ceased to exist. Making plans to create a new species of humanity, on a new planet to be also called "Earth", the Climb One crew began referring to the old Earth as "Gudnatia". After arriving on the new planet, the earthlings created the new humanity and their societies in the likeness of earthling societies. Sometime after creation, Levia and Behemo referred to the old Earth as the "Second Period" to the new planet's humans.

After the end of the Third Period in EC 999, Levia constructed an illusory world around her soul in imitation of a location in the Second Period, as part of a delusion that Earth hadn't yet been destroyed. Once the delusion was shattered, the illusory world disappeared.

Configuration and Laws

The Second Period lay a sizable distance away from the other planets of Evillious in space. It as a planet was subject to the laws of physics; later on, earthling technology had made it possible to travel to parallel-universes in the Second Period. It was also able to sustain a significant human population, although the population of earthlings had declined considerably by the time of its end. As Earth, the Second Period had the same societies and human history as in its real-life equivalent, albeit far more advanced by the time of its destruction.

Locations

Held Yggdra's Clinic

A clinic run by the multi-disciplinary scientist Held Yggdra and staffed by Rahab, Levia, and Behemo Barisol, among others. The clinic treated individuals afflicted with mental illness; at the same time, it would use its patients as case studies to further research of the mind. By the time of the Second Period's end, much of its staff had fled their positions and its patients had either been killed or committed suicide.

Trivia

Conceptualization and Origin
