It's been pure chaos ever since Six hit the scene, earning himself a slew of unsavory nicknames such as "The Fly." Snow's been no better, running herself deep into debt with every loan she takes out to feed her sword addiction. Meanwhile, the people of the Kingdom of Grace are experiencing a severe water shortage because no one can bring themselves to use the weather machine, still locked behind the activation phrase that Six changed to "Dick Festival."

To make up for it, Tillis sends Six to a neighboring country to collect magical water-producing stones...and somehow, he causes the country to declare war. How exactly does that fit into the plan for world domination...?

A light novel series exploring an alternate ending to one of the most influential anime series of all time!

What would have happened if the Human Instrumentality Project - from the final two episodes of the original Neon Genesis Evangelion anime - had never reached fruition? This official light novel series explores just that, allowing Shinji Ikari and the pilots around him to age three years and face a different future. This alternate ending began serialization in Japan a decade ago, and remains the only light novel series for the legendary franchise.

With the original 1990s anime series having its very first streaming release on Netflix in Spring 2019, these light novels are a perfect expansion for fans new and old.
