Overcount 1999: Land of Steel (鋼の大地 [over count 1999], Hagane no Daichi?) is the state of the world of Notes. after the death of the planet.

History[]

The world works on a new calendar system. The events of Notes. take place roughly five years[1] after the 83rd year of the new calendar.[2]

Before the Land of Steel[]

As the planet was still dying, humans created the A-Ray, beings modified to be able to live in the Grain environment.

Great War[]

Babel's Tale: The Great War (大戦 [Babel's Tale], Taisen?) is the conflict between the A-Ray and the humans after the death of the planet. The Six Sisters led the A-Ray in battle.

The battle was later interrupted by the arrival of the Ultimate Ones.

Cloud Sky and Blood Sky[]

During the Great War, the Six Sisters put up a barrier of thick layers of clouds, Cloud Sky: The Sky, it's Dark (空が、昏い [Cloud Sky], Sora ga, Kurai?), as a shield that have hidden the sky since then. The sky itself was not gray, but just that it could be seen.[3][4]

During the battle with Type Pluto, the Six Sisters fought it to prevent it from entering the atmosphere. Type Pluto and the Six Sisters killed each other at the same time, causing Type Pluto's blood to cover the entire planet after the battle. Situated above the cloud sky, there is no longer blue, but a Blood Sky: The Sky, it's Red (空が、赤い [Blood Sky]], Sora ga, Akai?). The sky also prevents two of the Ultimate ones from entering the planet, leaving them floating about like fish swimming in the sea.[4] Ado Edem's Slash Emperor is capable of splitting the Blood Sky, showing the true state of the blue sky of the world.[5]

Bird Drop[]

The Bird Drop (鳥堕し?) is the mission to repel Type-Venus, performed on the eighty third year of the new calendar.

Locations[]

City of the World Trees[]

The City of the World Trees (世界樹の街, Seikaiju no Machi?) is a city situated on the corpse of Type Venus after it is shot down in Year 83. It is named after the two wings of Type Venus, called the World Trees (世界樹, Seikaiju?), that towers over the city and reach into the Cloud Sky.[6] It was originally a base to monitor Type Venus' corpse, but after it was confirmed that the corpse could sustain life, it slowly expanded to become a city.[7]

Great Rift[]

The Great Rift (大断層?) is a great crevice splitting the world in two. It was caused by the death struggles of Judge of the Six Sisters, who was killed by Ether Liners. The Witch Swift Umbrella was built within it.[5]

Westland[]

Westland (ウエストランド?) is the western continent of the world. It housed the artificial paradise where the last of the Last-Seed, the original humans unable to live in the atmosphere of the dead world, lived. The entire continent was besieged by Type Jupiter, destroying the paradise and leaving Gun God as the last original human.[8] The entire continent burned once Ado Edem cleaved Type Jupiter, causing a massive explosion.[9]

Witch Swift Umbrella[]

The Witch Swift Umbrella (魔女の大傘(ウィッチ・スウィフト・アンブレラ?) is a prison resembling a castle within the Great Rift. Its name originates from the composition of its scaffolding, looking similar to a large, upside down, open umbrella. The prison possesses many walls and layers of gates that are linked with thousands of chains. There is a throne room that can only be reached by passing through seventy eight "magic doors" that are unable to be destroyed by a normal Ether Liner that can fight on par with beings capable of output similar to nuclear bombs. One placed on the throne would require enough power to destroy the entire castle to even stand up from the throne.[5]

Development[]

The Witch Swift Umbrella is the "original form" of the Millennium Castle Brunestud in Tsukihime.[5]

    Heaven's Corpse [type:venus]
    An Aristoteles estimated to be a thousand meters long. It appeared after the Great War and was flying in the sea of clouds. Its shape was never confirmed by anyone, and its details was unknown.
    A life form that had a pair of wings, and compared to the other Aristoteles's, it was close to this planet's species
    According to the records, it was shot down in the mission by the Knights in the 83rd year of the new calendar, and it fell somewhere on the continent. Originally, it was a life form that lands on the earth of a planet, rooting itself, and spreading its spore as it eats away the planet.
    It can also be described a gigantic carnivorous plant.
    ...It was put to an eternal sleep by the Black Barrel.

    It's not because of a pollution, but from the blood of one of the Aristoteles that appeared near the end of the Great War, Type-Pluto.
    In order to not let Pluto enter the planet's atmosphere, the Six Sisters fought it and killed each other at the same time, and its blood covered the whole planet as a result. The gray cloud is said to be a shield that the Six Sisters placed.

    [v] Character Material - Ado Edem, p.030-031

    Introduction - Knight Arm Slash Emperor

    The Knight Arm that Ado Edem possesses. The sword that consumes planets.

    It is a simple Knight Arm that is able to grow according to the size of its opponent.

    The seed that Edem holds in his hand sprouts and grows at the speed of his thoughts.

    However, with regards to this sword’s use of True Ether (Grain), it requires huge quantities to manifest itself, and needs an enormous convertible energy source.

    As the sword grows larger, it chips away at the earth to do so.
    This method of gaining energy by eroding the earth is similar to that of the old world. Edem’s Knight Arm can be called the embodiment of human nature, as it destroys the world in order to protect humans.

    Before it takes form, the Knight Arm stays in a seed-like state, and when Edem awakens it by driving it into the earth, it grows like a plant.

    Pictured is its usual battle state. The blue aura-like part is not the Grain released by the blade, but the sky split open by the blade. Splitting apart the “red sky” of the wasteland world and displaying its true state is the dignity of Slash Emperor.

    Explanation - Ado Edem

    The Ether Liner who manifests the Knight Arm, Slash Emperor.

    He was an Ether Liner who did not stand out much during the war with the A-rays, but suddenly rose to prominence when the Aristoteles invaded.

    He used Slash Emperor to slash through “The Black Aristoteles” (Type:Jupiter) in a single blow.

    Later, because the power of his Knight Arm was too great, the A-Rays, Liners, and many Ether Liners united to imprison him in the Witch Swift Umbrella, a disposal area created in the Great Rift.

    …As the war with the Aristoteles approached a close, he was seen as humanity’s trump card and thrown into the conflict, and was able to destroy “The Cross” (Type:Saturn), the fortress-like Aristoteles that had been attacked uselessly for a long time. His fate afterwards is unknown.

    Explanation 02: Witch Swift Umbrella

    A castle built in the Great Rift.

    Its name originates from its scaffolding, which looks similar to a large, upside-down, open umbrella.

    The original form of the Millenium Castle Brunestud from Tsukihime. A prison resembling a castle, with many walls and layers of gates linked with thousands of chains.

    Even standing up from the throne would require enough power to destroy the entire castle.

    Additionally, it is said that in order to reach the throne, one must pass through 78 “magic doors” that a normal Ether Liner would be unable to destroy.

    Explanation 03: The Great Rift

    Of the Six Sisters who lead the A-Rays, the youngest sister created this great crevice that split the earth in two.

    It was not intentionally created by the Six Sisters. Instead, as Ether Liners slew the youngest Sister, her death struggle rent a crack in the earth.

    By the way, even though “Magic” has been lost in the Land of Steel, the Six Sisters were indeed “Real Magic Users”.

    Explanation 04: Ether Liners

    The people who evolved into a new type of human in order to survive on and adapt to this wasteland are called Liners. Among them are also those who maintain their human shape but continue to evolve.

    From birth, they have an extra organ outside of their body, and in time this uses Grain to manifest matter.  These are known as Knight Arms, and those who can use this Knight Arm are called Ether Liners.

    Source: Source/(over count 1999) (From Tsukihime Dokuhon)

    A story that describes the extermination of humanity, and the war between the new humans and the planets. Its genre is science fiction.

    It recounts fairy tales of the war between the new humans, who adapted to the environment, and the A-Rays, who came from the artificially created next-generation ecosystems.

    On the planet that was doomed to death, political strife developed between the two races, to the point where the mysterious beings, the Aristoteles, rushed over from the universe with the intent of completely wiping out all life---

    In any case, ultimately it is a hopeless story.

    Introduction - Girl

    A projection. An illusion of an angel.

    Plays the guitar. Plays it horribly.

    Appeared in the apartment of the impoverished Godo, thinking to help out, but ended up being a huge troublemaker.

    Basically, she won’t do anything.

    Her special ability is a questionable healing effect. Her signature move is draining Godo’s wages. Her hobby is “human appreciation” of the people gathered underneath the World Tree.

    In other words, everyone thinks “I shouldn’t fall in love with something virtual”, but those virtual things were created in order for us to fall in love with.

    Explanation - The City of the World Tree

    A base that was originally set up to monitor the corpse of Type:Venus.

    The people who were first dispatched to this land were like people who had been exiled, but ever since they confirmed that the corpse could sustain life, they slowly expanded to become a city.

    During the fight when Type:Uranus and Type:Neptune were shot down, most of the World Tree’s leaves were lost.

    Explanation 02 - Heaven’s Corpse (Type:Venus)

    The Ultimate One of Venus.

    A carnivorous plant about 1 kilometer in length. Its form is similar to that of a fish with a pair of giant trees growing on its back, but as it is hidden in the sea of clouds no one has records ascertaining this.

    Type:Venus flew to Earth after the other Aristoteles launched their attack, and for a long time it simply drifted around inside the sea of clouds.

    After staying harmless for a while, it finished its task of exploring and selecting the ideal seed bed, and finally began its descent.

    Its real form is rooted into the earth, and its countless spores (Angel-type Predacious Terminals) spread and seeded themselves into the environment. If it were to reach the earth while alive, it would signify the end of all species on Earth.

    …Because it is a parasitic Aristoteles, it could even “absorb” the concept of Liners.

    Source: notes. (From Tsukihime Dokuhon)

    A spirited, earnest, airheaded XXXXXXX who is in love with love.

    The command that she was input with was “Earth Predation”, but the answer she came up with was “I love everyone living here”. She was really a hopeless individual.

    Aah. Thou art the incurable disease known as love.

  8. [v] Character Material - Godo, p.029

    Introduction - Godo

    His real name has been erased. Generally known as Gun God or God Imitator. One of the few old-generation “humans” surviving in this wasteland.

    Humans – strong as living creatures, yet weak as existences – were almost completely eliminated on doomsday. The survivors, being unable to adapt to the Grain permeating the atmosphere, were soon to follow.

    During these last days, the surviving humans created the artificial paradise.

    Although this artificial paradise was quickly destroyed by The Black Aristoteles, Godo was unlucky enough to receive environmental adaptation treatment, and thus his life was saved. He became the world’s last surviving human and continued to live.

    But, even if he was a survivor, his future was short.

    For Godo, his current life was akin to living on the moon. Without the help of machines and medicines, he would not even be able to breathe properly, and the food that he puts in his mouth is like poison.

    Because his prospects were so bleak, or perhaps because he had already faced death many times, his worldview became very self-torturing but not quite pessimistic (“resignation” could be a good way to describe it), and he lived leisurely passing by the days.

    In the past, wanting revenge, he excavated Black Barrel from the sealed region of Atlasia, and participated in the battle to prevent Type:Venus’ descent. Afterwards, in order to escape further conflicts, he concealed his whereabouts.

    According to rumors, he participated in a certain city’s fight to repel Type:Saturn, and died there.

    Although he is the weakest, he is a sniper able to withstand the poison of the strongest.

    Explanation - Black Barrel

    A black gun. It is a weapon that can destroy the Fifth Theoretical Element, and is constructed from the Fifth True Element.

    It is called a conceptual weapon of natural life by the Six Sisters.

    The bullets can ignore the abilities of anything that uses Grain and cause direct damage.

    It is similar to a cancer cell directly invading a body.

    One of the reasons that humans have degraded as is that they have no way to utilize the Grain in the air. As soon as they breathe it in, they die.

    The moment that this new energy source, Grain, rejected them, humans became the weakest of all life forms, but Black Barrel could be called the one weapon that reverses that specific weak point.

    It has many uses, and by changing its fittings it can be made to act as a sniper rifle.

    It normally takes the form of a rifle with a curved stock.

    At the time of its excavation, it seems that there was an original and also a replica. The gun that Godo always uses is the original.

    Source: notes. (From Tsukihime Dokuhon)

    The leading role of a story from the Land of Steel, an episode that cut out the events concerning an angel.

    As the weakest individual but possessing a means of deposing the strongest, a really protagonist-like individual.

    Afterwards, this person’s style was succeeded by Shiki from Tsukihime…maybe, or maybe not.

    Introduction - ゴドー
    本名。額飲、というのをいれる。院まいったいな時代の“人間”。
    生物としてあったが生命としては弱かった人間は世界各軍によって大部分が死滅し、残った者たちも大気に満ちたジンに適応できず死に絶えていった。
    そんな終末の中でも生き延びようとした人間たちによる人工楽園の出身。
    人工楽園自体は黒いアリストテレスによってすみやかに消滅したが、環境適応処置を受けていたゴドーは不運にも生き延び、地上に残った最後の人間として生きていく事になる。
    もっとも、生き残ったところで先は長くない。
    ゴドーにとって今の生活は月に住んでいるようなもの。機械と菜の助けがなくては満足に呼吸もできず、口にする食料は毒でしかない。
    まさにお先真っ暗ではあるが、幾度もの終末を乗り越えてしまった為か、自由的ではあるが悲観的にはならない、といった観(諦観とも言う)に至っているので日々のんびりと過ごしている。
    かつては復讐心から取アトラシアよりブラックバレルを発掘し、タイプ・ヴィーナス降下阻止作戦に参加、以後は戦いを避けて行方を貶ました。
    風の噂ではとある街で行われたタイプ・サターン迎撃戦に参加し、戦死したとされる。
    最弱ではあるが、最強の毒に耐えうる狙撃手。

    Explanation - ブラックバレル
    黒い銃身。第五架空要素を自壊させる、第五真説要素によって作られた兵器。
    六人姉妹たちには天存の概念武装と呼ばれる。
    この銃によって放たれた弾丸は、真エーテルによっ して活動するモノなら、いかなる能力値をも無視して を与える魔の一撃となる。
    直接本体に打ち込まれる細胞のようなものか。
    人間が霊長から転落した理由の一つに、大気に満ち たジンを扱えず、吸い込めば死に至るという事がある。
    ジンという新しいエネルギーに拒絶された時点で人間はもっとも弱い生物になったが、ブラックバレルはその欠点を逆転させた兵器と言える。
    汎用性が高く、各種オプションを換装する事で狙撃 銃としても使用可能。
    基本は曲銃床を用いるライフル型。
    発掘時にはオリジナルとレプリカの二丁があったらしい。ゴドーが愛用していたのはオリジナルの方。

    出典/notes. (月姫読本に収録)
    鋼の大地から、天使にまつわる話を切り取ったエピソードの主役。
    最弱だが最強を貶める一手を持つ、という実に主人公チックな人物。
    のちに、この芸風は月姫の志貴に受け継がれる事になった・・・・・・ような、そうでもないような。

  9. [v] Notes - The Black Aristoteles [type:jupiter]

    The Black Aristoteles [type:jupiter]
    An Aristoteles that appeared in the western continent.
    A black giant several dozen kilometers in size. Its form was pretty close to a human.
    It was actually a group of black photon gas, and theoretically its size can expand infinitely. It carries a unknown core in its center that can only be described as an artificial sun, and the gases are emitted from this object.
    Of the 8 Aristoteles, it eliminated the most living things. The western continent went on an all out battle, and it wiped them out without a scar. ... Although there's probably no such thing as a scar to this Aristoteles.
    After this incident, a team of Knights were sent to the western continent. After a fierce battle, it was sliced into half by the demonic sword of Knight Edem, the Slash Emperor. The chopped artificial sun went berserk and burned the whole western continent.

    黒いアリストテレス [type:jupiter]
    大陸の西に出現したアリストテレス。
    全長数十キロメートルにおよぶ黒一色の巨人で、フォルムは人間に極めて近かった。
    正体は黒色の光子ガスの集合体で、理論上その大きさは無限大にまで膨張する。ガスの中心に擬似太陽としか説明できない正体不明の核を持ち、体である光子ガスはその物体から放出されていたようだ。
    八体のアリストテレスの中で最も生命を消去したモノ。西の大陸に総力戦を挑まれ、これを無傷で撃退する。…もってものアリストテレスは傷という概念はないだろう。
    その後、西の大陸に派遣された騎士団との戦闘の末、騎士エデムの魔剣・斬撃皇帝によって両断される。断ち切られた擬似太陽は暴走し、西の大陸の地表をすべて灼き尽くした。
