Diabolik Lovers CHAOS LINEAGE ー General Prologue
ー The scene starts inside a mysterious chamber
*Thud*
Karlheinz: Checkmate.
Socrates: ...!? How? Once again...
Karlheinz: Seems like I win.
Socrates: ...
Karlheinz: I had a pleasant time again tonight. Our final game was a great one.
*Rustle rustle*
Socrates: Leaving already?
Karlheinz: I must proceed with my plan.
Socrates: Running away after winning, huh?
Karlheinz: I would love to continue playing as well.
However, you should know very well why I cannot, no? My dear friend.
Socrates: Yes, I understand. That is exactly why it is so vexing.
Karlheinz: Do not say that, my friend. My life-long wish is for a new species to be born into this World...
We shall need Adam and Eve for this wish to come to fruition.
Socrates: Yes...
You have selected a candidate for Eve for quite some time now, have you not? That girl who possesses a special heart despite being a human.
She fulfilled her duty by falling in love with a Demon.
Karlheinz: Then the one chosen by Eve...The Vampire who captures her heart, shall become Adam.
That moment is finally upon us.
I have rewinded time again and again, doing everything within my power...
Success is currently right in front of our eyes.
My friend, I never once felt bored because I had someone I could have long conversations with.
Socrates: It saddens me to say goodbye...
Karlheinz: Oh come on, we can always meet again in our next lives.
Socrates: ...You’re right. See you in the afterlife.
Karlheinz: I must get to the final preparations. ...Well then, if you’d excuse me now.
ー Karlheinz leaves
Socrates: Karlheinz...I suppose we shall never meet again in this life...huh?
Monologue
A Vampire going by the name of ‘Adam’.
And the human girl called ‘Eve’.
Once the two of them tie the knot and give birth to a new species,
Karlheinz’ plan will undoubtedly reach completion.
...However, in return for that,
I will lose a dear friend.
That is incredibly saddening.
Aah, how lonely I feel...
I threw a glance at the table’s surface.
The black and white chess pieces are lined up on top of the chess board.
The remains of the fun game my friend and I were playing just now.
Socrates: My dear friend, are you certain that the man who was chosen is truly fit to become Adam?
Monologue
There should have been plenty of potential candidates.
Was it inevitable that he would be the one to be ultimately chosen?
Perhaps the true Adam can only be found,
if all of them are given an equal chance,
by meeting Eve,
under the same circumstances?
...I am not yet convinced,
that this man in question will become Adam.
In which case, it is up to them to prove themselves,
and convince me.
Socrates: This is a game where they will all fight over the same pawn being ‘Eve’. I shall create the World which will serve as the chess board through my magicーー
And lock the potential Adam candidates as well as Eve inside of it.
While Adam has already been chosen, I could easily alter their memories somewhat.
Let us conduct an experiment where all of them have been given the same conditions in terms of memories, abilities and status.
To see who will truly win over Eve...
They can fight over her in their little fabricated world, until but one player remains.
Well then, let us commence the game. Until it’s checkmate.
Or alternatively...Until somebody breaks the game’s rules.
Until only one person remains on the board,
and as long as nobody commits foul play...
This experiment will remain ongoingーー
Monologue
Where on earth am I?
I was wandering through the darkness.
When I tried to remember what had happened,
I could not remember anything, as if a fog had clouded my mind.
The silhouette of a certain someone popped up in my head.
It felt as if this loving, nostalgic figure,
looked at me with gentle eyes.
However, I do not know who they are.
Who are you?
Furthermore, who am I?
As if they were answering my question,
I could hear a man’s voice echo from somewhereーー
???: Good morning, Eve. Do you know who you are?
--> This is where you get to input the MC’s name.
???: No, that is not your name, Eve. That is your past name.
Yui: Eve...This is my name...
Monologue
‘Eve’ ...It had an incredibly familiar sound to it. I part my lips to pronounce those two syllables
Yui: Eve...Eve...Eve...
Monologue
Every time I recite it, I grow more and more self-aware that this is in fact my name.
???: You shall soon awaken.
Our story begins right after the precious Supreme Ruler has passed away.
Three different houses will wage war against each other, fighting over you.
Monologue
The prophecy told by this man whose name remains a mystery to me...
I simply took all of it in...
I did not doubt his words in the slightest.
After all, at this time, I was still incapable,
of experiencing a sense of ‘doubt’.
I was not capable of breaking through the illusion.
Any illusion which cannot be destroyed, will therefore become reality.
???: I call forth the light...
Monologue
At the same time he spoke those words,
a single light flashed right above me.
While weak, it was definitely shining.
I reached out my hand towards it.
*Thud*
As I heard the sound of a new game commencing.
ー The scene starts inside the Church
Yui: Nn...
( Huh? ...Where am I...? )
( There’s large stone monuments lined up...The horse and castle shapes remind me of the pieces of a chess game. )
( The windows are decorated with beautiful stained glass... )
( While the building itself appears to be rather old, it is in good condition, so somebody must have been taking care of it. )
A holy atmosphere lingers in the air...
( This feeling must mean it’s a...Church...I suppose...? )
( In which case, the place I was sleeping on is...the altar? )
Why am I here...?
*Dingー Dingー*
Yui: Kyaah!
The Church bells...? That startled me...
???: So the seal was broken at last? It surely took its time.
Yui: Eh...?
Bespectacled man: While this was stated in the legend as well, I have to say that you are hardly impressive. Oh well, I suppose that is fine.
Given as you were here at this Church, there is no mistaking it.
Yui: A-And who might you be...?
( While he does look very proper and his demeanor is polite, his sharp gaze is somewhat terrifying... )
Bespectacled man: Let us keep any self-introductions for later. Unfortunately, there is no time for those right now. You shall be accompanying us to our manor.
Yui: What do you mean by that...? Where are we in the first place? How did I end up heーー
Bespectacled man: I see. ‘You are completely ignorant’...correct?
ー He approaches her
*Rustle*
Yui: Kyaah! L-Let me go!
Bespectacled man: I do not know if you are speaking the truth or simply acting.
Either way, this does not alter the fact that you will be coming with me.
Yui: ( I’m being kidnapped!? I have to run! But he’s too strong, I can’t shake him off... )
???: How cruel to do such a thing to a poor little girl~
*Woosh*
Bespectacled man: ーー!?
*Cling*
Man with hat: You just barely managed to dodge my attack, huh? I suppose I should have expected as much from you, Reiji.
Yui: ( A dagger came flying at him!? Is that man the one who threw it...? )
Reiji: Haah...Just as I thought, there were other people with the same intention as us.
So the Violet House has decided to send Laito as their messenger...And it would appear that Kou is here as well.
Kou: Ahーah. You noticed me? I thought I was doing a pretty good job concealing my presence.
Yui: ( There’s another guy carrying a dagger... )
( The one holding my arm is Reiji-san...And the two people over there are Laito-san and Kou-san? )
Kou: Listen, won’t you hand over Eve to us? Carla-kun really wants her, you see.
Reiji: I refuse. The next Supreme Overlord shall be none other than me after all.
Laito: Geez, the oldest sibling of the Scarlet House is so stingy. Wouldn’t you agree, Eve-chan?
Yui: Eve...
( Right. I am Eve...I wonder why I forgot? )
( These people are fighting over Eve...over me. )
Reiji: I would have liked to have gotten this over with quick and easy, but it seems like some people insist on getting in the way...
You should step back for a bit.
Yui: Ah...
Reiji: I shall be your opponent.
Laito: Oh? This doesn’t seem quite right? You’re acting like a noble knight protecting the princess.
Kou: Exactly, spot on! Even though it’s obvious that Eve will come to our house.
Right, Eve? You will, won’t you?
Yui: T-That’s a tough question. I don’t even know you guys...
Kou: Then you can just get to know us! At our manor, that is.
Yui: ( No way, what should I do...? )
*Rustle*
Yui: Ow...!?
( Someone pulled me in stronglyl! )
???: You’re coming with Yours Truly. You don’t have any other choice.
*Rustle*
???: I promise to take ‘good’ care of you. Until I get sick of you, at least.
Yui: ( Another stranger...! )
Laito: Ehー? Ayato has made his appearance as well?
Reiji: The third son of the Orange House...I suppose this is how things ultimately played out.
To think all three Houses would show up right after Eve’s awakening.
Yui: ( Three Houses...? )
Ayato: The Church’ barrier disappeared. Of course we’d come to check what’s going on.
And I was right to do so too. It’s just like how that one legend goes.
Yui: ( Legend... )
Kou: The Church’ barrier will be dispelled after the Supreme Overlord perishes.
The one who wakes up Eve who is slumbering there with a kiss, it will open the path to becoming the next Supreme Lord...That’s the story you’re talking about, right?
Laito: It’s the story of Sleeping Beauty.
Yui: ( Barrier...Legend...Supreme Overlord? What on earth are they all talking about...? )
Reiji: It would seem that you have no clue about any of this.
Kou: So she’s completely ignorant to the fact that she’s Eve?
Ayato: Aah? Cut me some slack! Do you have any idea how long we waited for you!?
Laito: I mean, she was asleep this whole time, so we can hardly blame her, can we?
Although it seems like we’ll need to take our time to fill her in on everything.
But to do that, we have to take you home with us first.
Yui: ...!
( They’re suddenly giving off a different vibe...? )
( They are glaring coldly at each other. Do their eyes even seem to be glowing red or am I just imagining that...? )
( No, more importantly, the weapons they are holding, are they actually real...? )
Reiji: I suppose we should get started soon.
Ayato: Che, finally.
Kou: Who will get to claim Eve?
Laito: The battle commencesーー
Yui: Battle...!? Don’t tell me, you’re actuallyーー
*CLANG CLANG CLANG*
Yui: ( The four of them are swinging their swords at each other...Wait, noーー )
( There’s only three of them. One has disappeared...! )
*Rustle*
Yui: Kyah!? W-Who are you!? Please...Let me go!
Monologue
A figure suddenly snuck up behind me.
I attempted to fight back, but ‘his’ arm wouldn’t even budge.
I had been successfully captured by him.
Exactly, the one who seized me wasーー
[REIJI --> SCARLET HOUSE PROLOGUE]
[LAITO --> VIOLET HOUSE PROLOGUE]
[AYATO --> ORANGE HOUSE PROLOGUE]
