PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ

***PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ***, also known as the ***Avelia Project***, formerly known as ***ΛＶΞＬI Λ***, is a planned dark fantasy novel series made by ***AveliaYza STUDIOS***.

## **Story**

### **Setting**

The story of PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ and its expansion series, ***PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ: Tears of Devastation***, ***PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ: Cries of the Damned***, and ***PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ: Welcome to Utopia***, take place in the dimension of **Hell** and the **Thanatobaran System**. The story primarily takes place in the **Wrath Ring**, which is home to thirteen major nations, formerly fourteen: Sonnenstadt, the Mierian Republic, Zamorozitskiy, the Iskandarīyah Caliphate, Ang Anarkiya, Yamato, Alturapaís, O Floração Monarquia, Nahua, Rayos, Texarkana, Kuhio and Nebenfluss, the Jīnzī Dynasty and Xīn Qiū Jichéng; and three minor-unrecognized nations. These nations are ruled under the control of powerful deities known as Archons, part of a coalition formerly known as the '**Thirty-Six Archons**.' Each archon is associated with a corresponding element of Hell, which in response, reflect upon their nation's landscape, borders and culture. For example, the Mierian Republic is ruled over by Tae'ob, the Hydro Archon, and in correspondence, the element of water is recognized as a symbol of deception and conniving lies as a result of her divine ideal, 'Deception.' Divine ideals also play in part to a nation's vitality of receiving recognition from the '**gods**.' Prior to the main story, there once existed a fifteenth nation whom was a victim of the First Archon War, the Noctilucent Empire, and yet... Nothing but its remains have been preserved as part of Hell's history.

#### **Elements and Anti-elements**

In addition to the elements, the world of Hell also bears anti-elements, which are recognized as the "corresponding elements" of the archons of the **New World** in the Wrath Ring. Although anti-elements follow the same rules as normal elements, anti-elements are more powerful than normal elements and are regarded as 'godlike.' For example, bloodborne cryo, despite being a variant of cryo, grants users extreme agility and the capability of bloodbending. Bloodborne cryo is also regarded as the most powerful element in Hell. In correspondence to this, most anti-element archons are more powerful than normal archons, such as Byleth, Caym, Paymon, Paimonia and The Haborym.

#### **The Heavenly Principles and Nethertarrius**

The Heavenly Principles, also known as **Heaven**, is the main celestial parent of planet, **Nethertarrius**, also known as **LC-666 Nethertarrius**. The Heavenly Principles floats over the Wrath Ring, located on the outer-body of Nethertarrius, and has direct connection to the archons. The Heavenly Principles is described as a floating archipelago that serves as the home to the gods, **angels**, and **saints**. Nethertarrius is the parent planet of six orbiting moons that house six corresponding rings, **Pride**, **Lust**, **Gluttony**, **Greed**, **Sloth**, and **Envy**; Nethertarrius is the host of the trinary star system, Thanatobaran.

### **Plot**

The intern of his father's cultist Japanese-American joint project, Tabibito Gentō ends up becoming the victim of a lab accident in the middle of a dead night. Eventually waking up in a forest believing to be in a fantasy world, Tabibito eventually comes across a remote village where he meets a mysterious astronomer by the name of Kaösmøhs who temporarily aids Tabibito in his journey across Hell. For the following months, the pair travel across the nation of Sonnenstadt, searching for theorists and allies to help Tabibito return back home. The pair eventually make their way to the city of **Bärsonnigstadt** where they meet the Anemo Archon, and the start of Tabibito's journey...

## **Trivia**

### **Development Trivia**

#### **Dangantenokatenera**

* Between 2016-2019, *PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ* was originally known as ***Dangantenokatenera***.
* The name was dropped in December of 2019, along with its original story and plot.
* Unlike *PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ*, *Dangantenokatenera* was originally planned to be an anime.
* Unlike *PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ*, *Dangantenokatenera* used a season-based story instead of a chapter-based story.
	+ As a result, *Dangantenokatenera* originally was planned to have 24 seasons, although despite being planned to have 24 seasons, *Dangantenokatenera's* story was actually shorter than *PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ's*.
	+ As the seasons progressed, *Dangantenokatenera* was originally suppose to have increased production quality per season.
* Out of all the characters originally planned for *Dangantenokatenera*, only 'four' were carried over to *PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ*: Paymon and his orange plush cat, Naamhum, and Dūrav.
	+ Although Phoenyiex was carried over to *PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ*, he bears no similarities to his *Dangantenokatenera* counterpart when it comes to his personality and role in the story, along with a design change.
* Only one location from *Dangantenokatenera* was carried over to *PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ*, that being Sky City.

#### **Dangantenokatenera 3rd ・ PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ**

* *PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ* was originally planned to be named ***Dangantenokatenera 3rd***.
	+ The addition of '3rd' in the series' title was originally used because *Dangantenokatenera 3rd* was originally planned to have a prequel story expansion known as ***Dangantenokatenera 2nd**.*

#### **Dangantenokatenera 2nd**

* *Dangantenokatenera 2nd* was originally planned to center around a younger version of Paymon, and a character known as '**Utatane**.'
	+ The story of *Dangantenokatenera 2nd* was planned to focus on Paymon's escape from an originally planned area known as '**Old Xīn Qiū**,' located underneath Xīn Qiū Chéngshì where Xīn Qiū Jichéng is ruled underneath Vanaphula's rule.
	+ *Dangantenokatenera 2nd* was not planned to take place in Hell and instead, was planned to take place in a post-dystopian Earth.
	+ *Dangantenokatenera 2nd* also featured a megaphone variant of the '**Yzaguirre SAM System**.'
* Out of all the characters originally planned for *Dangantenokatenera 2nd*, only three were carried over to *PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ*: Younger Paymon, Vanaphula and Utatane, with the latter being the most recent 'discarded character' to be reintroduced.
	+ It's currently undecided if Tabibito should be considered as an 'expy' of Younger Paymon or not, despite the two bearing extremely similar appearances.
* Only one location from *Dangantenokatenera 2nd* was carried over to *PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ*, that being Xīn Qiū Chéngshì.

#### **Cries of the Damned**

* *PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ: Cries of the Damned* is the only story expansion that is not canon to the main story due to solely being a genocide spin-off.
	+ This is because *Cries of the Damned* takes place in an alternative universe where Tabibito serves as the 'primary antagonist.'
	+ Despite being the 'primary antagonist,' Tabibito is also the protagonist as *Cries of the Damned* is portrayed through his perspective.

#### **Tears of Devastation**

* *PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ: Tears of Devastation* is the only story expansion where Tabibito is not the protagonist, instead being his mother, Tabibito Misumi.
	+ *Tears of Devastation* is also the sole canonical prequel to the main story.

#### **Lament of the Hadean Demiurges**

* The codename for ***Lament of the Hadean Demiurges*** is ***Dangantenokatenera 4th***.
* *Lament of the Hadean Demiurges* is the only addition to the series that is not planned to be a novel, and instead, is planned to be either a gacha game, or an RPG game.
	+ Although if the game is planned to be a gacha game, the gacha system will not be a main focus, nor would it be a requirement or necessity for the game.

## **Notes**

1. ↑ Although Utatane was carried over to *PROJECT.ΛＶΞＬI Λ*, he bears a different design and role in the story. Although he and Paymon are affiliated, they bear no correlations to their original *Dangantenokatenera 2nd* counterparts.
2. ↑ Now represented as **Kitakoharu** and **Akiko**.
