Story of Evil

The Story of Evil (Japanese: 悪ノ物語, Hepburn: Aku no Monogatari), often called the Daughter of Evil series (Japanese: 悪ノ娘, Hepburn: Aku no Musume), is a medieval fantasy series of music videos using Yamaha's Vocaloid vocal synthesizer software. It is a collection of 12 songs and related media that focuses on Vanity & Pride of the Seven Deadly Sins through the rise and fall of the so-called "Daughter of Evil", Princess Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche. Several of the events in the Story of Evil are inspired by the French Revolution. The series itself belongs to a bigger project, the Seven Deadly Sins series (Japanese: 七つの大罪, Hepburn: Nanatsu no Taizai) from the Chronicles of Evillious (Japanese: エヴィリオス年代記, Hepburn: Eviriosu Nendaiki).

History

The songs of the series were written using the Vocaloid software and references various Vocaloid and Utau mascots. A basic connecting plot was created before the release of any songs, which the rest of the series elaborates on. Originally the series only focused more on the Crypton Future Media Vocaloids, however as the storyline progressed, Vocaloids from other studios were introduced from Zero-G Ltd, AH Software and Internet Co., Ltd. The first songs of the series, "Daughter of Evil" and "Servant of Evil" were uploaded within weeks of each other to the video sharing website Niconico in April, 2008. They featured the Kagamine Rin & Len Vocaloid package, with former using Rin and latter using Len. The overall series began to take shape after the release of "Servant of Evil", which gave additional, emotional context to the story shown in "Daughter of Evil".

In May, 2008, "Regret Message" was uploaded, acting as sequel to the previous two songs. The song "Daughter of White" was released on January 6, 2010, retelling much of the established story through a different viewpoint in addition to showing the singer's unique experiences. At its end, "Daughter of White" acts as a direct continuation of "Regret Message". All four songs were referenced in the first official novel, Daughter of Evil, Clôture of Yellow, which was released on August 10, 2010. A theater play event, based on the first three songs and the backstory written by mothy on his blog, was shown in Japan during the month of January, 2010. "Twiright Prank", a new song set prior to "Daughter of Evil", was sung by Shimoda Asami for the play. A version of "Twiright Prank" using Rin and Len was released in the album EVILS FOREST on May 9, 2010. A music video for the song was uploaded on August 3, 2010.

"Tree Maiden ~Millennium Wiegenlied~" was released in the album EVILS COURT on August 13, 2011. It was the sixth song to be released in the Story of Evil, and the third song to retell parts of the series in a new perspective; it parallels the events that occurred in "Daughter of White". The song "Handbeat Clocktower" was released alongside the novel Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue on March 23, 2012. It takes place five years after the events in "Daughter of Evil". The song "Blink" acts as a sequel to both "Daughter of White" and "Tree Maiden ~Millennium Wiegenlied~". It was released in the album The Muzzle of Nemesis on August 17, 2014.

On August 14, 2016, the album Lucifenia Trinity was released, featuring three new prequel songs about the "Three Heroes" of Lucifenia: "A Hero's Armor is Always Crimson", "Neomaria of the Inverted Gravestone" and "Swear an Oath on that Bridge". Later that year, on September 21, 2016, a song about King Arth, "That King was Born from Mud" was released in the EXIT TUNES' compilation album Vocalocreation.

Setting

Countries

Lucifenia

The Kingdom of Lucifenia, known as the "Yellow Country", is where the majority of events in the Story of Evil are centered upon. It follows the Levia sect of the Levin religion. It was the most powerful country at the start of the series, though it later collapsed as a result of Princess Riliane's regime. After this, Lucifenia was controlled by Marlon for several years before eventually becoming an independent republic. Lucifenia was inspired by France; its name was inspired by Lucifer.

Marlon

The Kingdom of Marlon was an island country located across the sea from the rest of the region. It had a strong navy. Marlon annexed Lucifenia following its revolution and planned on conquering many of the surrounding countries, though this plan was eventually cancelled by Kyle Marlon, the King of Marlon. The country was inspired by the United Kingdom; its name was inspired by Mammon. It was commonly known as the "Blue Country".

Elphegort

The Kingdom of Elphegort was a country located next to Lucifenia. It occupied much of the Millennium Tree Forest, containing the Millennium Tree of the god, Held. Because of this, Held worshipers were much more prevalent in Elphegort than they were in other countries dominated by non-Held sects. The worshipers referred to the forest as Held's Forest, which was its original name. Often called the "Green Country", Elphegort was invaded by Lucifenia on the orders of Princess Riliane, who launched a genocide known as the "Green Hunting", primarily targeting green-haired women from this country. Elphegort was inspired by Germany, and its name was inspired by Belphegor.

Beelzenia

The Beelzenian Empire was a country in the Story of Evil. Its name was inspired by Beelzebub. It lost much of its influence before the events of the series, becoming a repeated target of the more powerful Lucifenia. After the fall of Lucifenia, Beelzenia harbored its separatists from persecution, entering into conflicts with the aggressive Kingdom of Marlon.

Levianta

Divine Levianta was a country that functioned as the head of the Levin Church. Its name was inspired by Leviathan. Several hundred years before the series, Levianta was known as the Magic Kingdom. It was the most powerful country in the world at that time, possessing advanced technology and many magic users. However, the Magic Kingdom and its society were eventually completely destroyed in a major accident. Both Elluka Clockworker and Abyss IR were refugees from the Magic Kingdom.

Asmodean

Asmodean was a country in the Story of Evil. Gast Venom's mercenaries were based in this country. Its name was inspired by Asmodeus.

Magic

Magic plays a central role in the Story of Evil, despite few practicing or embracing it. Elluka Clockworker and her apprentice Gumillia were powerful magicians, using their abilities publicly. Abyss IR worked far more covertly, though she had similar abilities. Certain other characters, such as Michaela, were also able to use magic.

Seven Deadly Sins

The Seven Deadly Sins represent tangible phenomenon in the Story of Evil. Individuals can be possessed and influenced by objects embodying a specific sin, known as the "Vessels of Deadly Sin", and their associated demons. Besides Pride, the sins of Gluttony, Lust, Wrath, and Greed also influence several happenings in the series.

Religion

The primary religion shown in the Story of Evil is Levin, a polytheistic religion inspired by Christianity. Levin has several sects, the largest of which is the Levia sect. The Held sect is the second largest, mainly present in the country of Elphegort.

Songs

Daughter of Evil

"Daughter of Evil" (Japanese: 悪ノ娘, Hepburn: Aku no Musume) is the first song of the series, and was released on April 6, 2008. It uses the voice of Kagamine Rin and details the basic story of a cruel princess, Riliane, ruling in a corrupt manner, using her servant, Allen, to order the fall of the green kingdom after the man she loves is found to be in love with a woman from there, and subsequently "being executed".

The song was later re-released using the Kagamine Rin and Len ACT2 program. It received a "velvet mix" and a detailed, new music video on December 27, 2009. The new music video contained 38 descriptions of things in the series which were connected to accompanying quotes in the music video for "Servant of Evil".

Servant of Evil

"Servant of Evil" (Japanese: 悪ノ召使, Hepburn: Aku no Meshitsukai) is the second song of the series, and was released on April 29, 2008. It mainly uses the voice of Kagamine Len, though a small portion near the end of the song includes Kagamine Rin's voice. It details the story of how the twins were separated when they were very small, Riliane's various orders, how Allen met Michaela and fell in love with her, and, at the end, how Allen traded places with the princess to be executed. Throughout the song, Allen reinforces his loyalty and love for Riliane. Before dying, he wishes they could be reborn and play together again.

Like "Daughter of Evil", this song was re-released using the Kagamine Rin and Len ACT2 program. It also received a "velvet mix" and a more detailed music video on December 27, 2009. The new music video contained 38 quotes from various characters which were connected to accompanying descriptions in the music video for "Daughter of Evil".

Regret Message

"Regret Message" (Japanese: リグレットメッセージ, Hepburn: Riguretto Messeeji) was the third song of the series to be released; it uses the voice of Kagamine Rin and was uploaded on May 25, 2008, telling of Riliane's feelings a year after "Servant of Evil". In the song, Riliane realizes that it had been her own selfishness that had killed her brother. She traveled to the coast, writing a message on parchment, before putting it in a glass bottle and throwing it into the sea. In the message was the wish for her and Allen to be reborn as twins again.

After its original release, "Regret Message" was given a "velvet mix".

Daughter of White

"Daughter of White" (Japanese: 白ノ娘, Hepburn: Shiro no Musume) is the fourth song of the series; it was released on January 6, 2010. "Daughter of White" is sung by the Vocaloid derivative "Yowane Haku" using the Hatsune Miku vocal. The song details the events of a new character, Clarith, who lived in the country of Elphegort. Unlike everyone around her, Clarith had white hair, making her a target for harassment and bullying. Depressed and lonely, Clarith prayed to the god Held at the Millennium Tree for a friend. Shorty thereafter, she found an unconscious Michaela at that same tree. Taking her in, the two quickly bonded, with Clarith initially struggling to believe that Michaela actually cared for someone like her. The two soon left the village that they were in to work at the mansion of Keel Freezis, a wealthy merchant. During a party at the mansion, King Kyle of Marlon was introduced to Michaela and became infatuated with her, cancelling his planned marriage to Princess Riliane of Lucifenia. In anger, Princess Riliane ordered a genocide against all green-haired women in Elphegort, thus killing Michaela and many others but not Clarith, who became immensely sad after losing her partner. Deciding to work as a nun in hopes of rebuilding her life, Clarith met another person, 'Rin', near her monastery, and the two became friends. However, when Clarith eventually overheard 'Rin' confess her identity as the overthrown Princess Riliane, she became overcome by wrath and attempted to stab 'Rin' in revenge. This attempt was aborted, though, and at the end of the song, Clarith apologized to Michaela for not being able to avenge her, saying that she saw similarities between 'Rin' and her past self.

Twiright Prank

"Twiright Prank" (Japanese: トワイライトプランク, Hepburn: Towairaito Puranku) is the fifth song of the series; it was originally composed for a theater adaption of the Story of Evil that opened on January 27, 2010, featuring voice actress Shimoda Asami. A version of the song sung by Kagamine Rin and Len was released on May 9, 2010. The song shows a small snapshot of the princess and servant's lives as small children before they were separated, avoiding a hungry, mysterious "demon" in the twilight. Alexiel eventually realized that the demon would be always hungry no matter what and decides to share his snack with the demon. In return, the demon tells Alexiel a secret about the ocean, which he later shares with Riliane. The name of the song was purposefully changed from "Twilight" to "Twiright" by mothy, who explained that he did that because "right" means "correct" and "normal", "twi" carries the meaning of "twist", the ones who are performing it are "R"in and "L"en, and the prince gave a sweet to a "demon" while the princess did not in the song.

Tree Maiden ~Millennium Wiegenlied~

"Tree Maiden ~Millennium Wiegenlied~" (Japanese: 樹の乙女～千年のヴィーゲンリート～, Hepburn: Itsuki no Otome ~Sennen no Viigenriito~) is the sixth song in the series, and was released on August 13, 2011, using the voice of Hatsune Miku. It's from the view of Michaela, the girl that Clarith finds unconscious in "Daughter of White". Michaela, who was a spirit, was transformed into a human by Elluka Clockworker. Meeting Clarith, the two fall in love and run away to a new village where they become servants. At a banquet, Michaela meets King Kyle Marlon. This meeting sparks the fated war mentioned in the other songs, and ends with Michaela dying at the bottom of a well and wishing that she could be reborn together with Clarith.

Handbeat Clocktower

"Handbeat Clocktower" (Japanese: 針音ノ時計塔, Hepburn: Shinon no Tokeitou) is the seventh song in the series; it features the Vocaloid vocals Kaito and Kaai Yuki and was released on March 23, 2012. It occurs 5 years after the events in "Daughter of Evil", coming from the view of Kyle Marlon, the King of Marlon. In this song, it's revealed that his mother, the Dowager Queen Prim Marlon, organized a conspiracy that resulted in most of the conflicts in the series, such as Riliane's possession by demons and the genocide against Elphegort. As she sits in the Clocktower of Castle Hedgehog in Marlon, Kyle considers her as a demon because of her cruelty. The song additionally reveals Michaela's killer as Ney Phutapie, born as Ney Marlon, Kyle's younger half-sister, who was also part of the conspiracy. When Kyle moves to confront his mother, Ney stabs and kills Prim Marlon in a rage.

"Handbeat Clocktower" is a remix of the song "Heartbeat Clocktower", released by mothy in 2009.

Blink

"Blink" (Japanese: またたき, Hepburn: Matataki) is the eighth song in the series; it was released on August 17, 2014, and features the voice of Kagamine Rin. It portrays the former Princess Riliane, now a nun calling herself 'Rin', reflecting on planting a sapling that will inevitably grow into a very large tree. The sapling contains the spirit of Michaela, the specific target of Riliane's genocide. 'Rin' thinks about how different time will seem to the sapling, and if her sins will ever be forgiven as years pass.

"A Hero's Armor is Always Crimson" (Japanese: 英雄の鎧は常に紅く, Hepburn: Eiyuu no Yoroi wa Tsune ni Akaku) is the ninth song of the series; it was released on the album Lucifenia Trinity using the Vocaloid voicebank Meiko on August 14, 2016. The song tells of Leonhart Avadonia, a powerful knight, who is serving King Arth Lucifen d'Autriche of Lucifenia. Leonhart is fully devoted to his service, coldly killing many in warfare against Lucifenia's enemies. One day, he murders a noblewoman and kidnaps her infant daughter, realizing that she's a Beelzenian princess and hoping to use her as a hostage one day. Five years later, he's taking care of the girl, thinking her to be foolish, not knowing the man she calls dad killed her parents. After he's a approached by the Marlon Espionage Task Force that has come to take the princess and use her political leverage, Leonhart considers giving her up. When the child draws a blade to protect him, he changes his mind and fights off the task force, deciding to adopt the former princess as his daughter, Germaine Avadonia.

One day she's sent to kill a deserter from Beelzenia by the witch, and Neomaria obeys, and prepares to ambush him from a cliff. However, seeing the deserter to be a person of a similar age caused Neomaria to feel doubtful, accidentally losing her footing and falling from the cliff.
