Teogonia is based on the light novel series written by Tsukasa Tanimai and illustrated by Koichiro Kono, which is published under the Shufu-to-Seikatsusha’s PASH! Books label. The anime’s premise is described as:

It’s a time of warfare where relentless battles continue between human and demi-human tribes like the Ash Monkeys (Macaque) and pig people (Ogres) invading human lands. Kai, a boy from the village of Rag, spends his days immersed in battle to protect his village.

Amidst the harsh battles enforced by those possessing immense power known as “guardian bearers,” and as his comrades fall one by one, Kai suddenly recalls memories he shouldn’t have experienced – memories of a world with advanced technology and knowledge of people’s lives beyond this world.

And thus, although Kai was just a villager, he soon finds himself embroiled in great trials…
A magnificent fantasy tale unfolds, chronicling the struggle and growth of a single boy in a harsh world.

The light novel series began in 2018 and has three volumes as of 2019. It has inspired a manga by Shunsuke Aoyama. The story started as a Shousetsuka ni Narou web novel in 2017.
