The Professor Layton Series

by blazingblondemannequin

This is a written out version of the Professor Layton Series, for anyone interested in the storyline but has not or has not able to play the games. I have not plagiarized what any of the original Nintendo creators have wrote, and I give full credit to Nintendo. I have not created this story to steal the story, but just to share it with the fans. Thank you.

1. Author's Note

Welcome my fellow Layton fans, one and all! This is the story of our beloved Professor, Hershel Layton, and his other companions! As stated in the summary, I am only writing this story to provide entertainment for the people interested in reading the storyline of the Layton series. I, in no way, take ownership of the story or will palagerize the writing of the games and movies created by Nintendo.

Now then, I have planned to write and release the story from the earliest release date to latest. This will make it easier for me to write the story, especially if any other games or movies are planned to be released. (Like the movie between Miracle Mask and Arzan Legacy) This also follows the way the fans like me and yourself have played the games, so it's more relatable. The stories will then go as follows:

-Curious Village

-Diabolical Box

-Unwound Future

-Specter's Flute

-Eternal Diva

-Miracle Mask

-Arzan Legacy

But if you wish, once I have all the stories posted, you may read them in order from beginning to end of the Layton series. This is as follows:

-Specter's Flute

-Eternal Diva

-Miracle Mask

-Arzan Legacy

-Curious Village

-Diabolical Box

-Unwound Future

The story will go by the chapters set in the game, except of course, for Eternal Diva, where I'll split the storyline up as I see fit.

Each Professor Layton game has a prologue, about 10 chapters, and then an epilogue. The prologue will be titled as the name of the game, ex: "Curious Village". Then will follow Chapter 1, 2 and so on. The epilogue will be titled epilogue. Then the next would be titled "Diabolical Box" for example, and it would be the prologue of Diabolical Box.

Points of view will vary from story to story, from either Luke or Emmy. This is because of the beginning of each game, which starts as Luke or Emmy telling the story to a friend in a letter. Once again though, for Eternal Diva I will pick the point of view or views needed to best get the story across.

As you should know know, there are in-game features that can't be expressed correctly in a story like this. So please keep this in mind when the story gets slow at parts. As for names of the characters, I will not include them unless the character in the game physically tells me what their name is, because that's how the point of the view of the characters in the game would see it. I apologize ahead of time for using the same word over and over again, like "the man" if I don't know their name. Again, please keep this in mind.

For the puzzles in the story, I will only include the ones important to the storyline. Meaning that you must solve the puzzle to progress in the game. Sadly, I can not include links for the puzzles, but there are plenty of walkthroughs what you can look up if you're really interested. Some puzzles you need the DS visual the visuals to solve, so I will try to explain the answer as best as possible in the story. The puzzles are bolded and centered, unlike the other text of the story, so they're easy to find. They all have a puzzle number, so you may look them up easily online. Or you may be able to try a few yourself if you want to.

I will be constantly updating this note to explain how things will work, so please check it out every time you get a notification that it's been updated. Feel free leave reviews or PM me if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or concerns.

Please enjoy, and happy puzzling! :)
