No Hero Volume 9: Endless Days

Original novel in Chinese by: 御我(Yu Wo)

The End NO. 9: Heroes—Translated by J Tao (proofread by Minthe & Trespasserby; C/E edited by lucathia)

Charles looks so weak. As expected, eating too many blood candies is a big problem.

It’s just that the numbers aren’t there anymore, so I have no way to appraise his thoughts.

Since there’s no other way, I can only ask him directly.

“Charles, if one day both X and I are in mortal danger, who would you save?”

“Then if it’s X and the Elysees family? Who would you save?”

In the end, Charles didn’t give me an answer. Is it time to go back using the numbers and analyses to determine who he considers most important?

The results of the microchip’s self-diagnostic tests didn’t indicate any damage. I should be able to turn its functions back on…

Except, I’m looking at Charles without wanting to open fire. There are no threat levels, and no prompts to eliminate the target. It seems like I can simply refrain from shooting.

Without the numbers, haven’t things improved?

At the very least, the world looks so clean. People come and go, and there aren’t any numbers next to their faces. Lots of passers-by are looking at me. Do their expressions mean they like me, or do they think I’m weird, hm? Well, there should probably be more people who like me, right?

I sat on a bench by the sidewalk and watched for a long, long time.

“Microchip, bring the system prompt functions out of sleep mode.”

If I wanted to go save X, I would need those numbers.

In the blink of an eye, it’s somehow the end of 2021 already. October’s shorter update was an attempt at getting things back on schedule, but as you can see, that didn’t happen. It took most of November for us to finish the chapters, so I suppose it was more of a November update than anything. In any case, here we are (yes we’re still around), and we have more chapters!

This month brings us the second to last chapter of No Hero. There’s only one more chapter after this, plus an extra that wraps things up. Dominion’s End also returns. Will we finish translating V6 first, or will Yu Wo release V7 first? At this point, it’s anyone’s guess, really.

The winner of the title “World’s Cutest Aberrant” from the previous poll goes to Thirteen! *claps claps*

This month’s poll from ArmadaTW is about which dup would cause a major incident when gathering together for the holidays! (Uh oh!)

We love reading your poll ideas!

Illusions, Lies, Truth V5C2: Apartment, Part 1—Blessing

Illusions, Lies, Truth Volume 5: The Fallen, Jiu Ge, Part One

Original novel in Chinese by: 御 我 (Yu Wo)

Chapter 2: Apartment, Part 1—Blessing—translated by lucathia (proofread by Minthe & J Tao)

In the dim stairway, there was only a single light bulb, oozing yellow light and hanging above the flat landing where the stairs turned. The railings had rusted into a yellow-black, and garbage that hadn’t been swept up had accumulated in a corner. A strange, putrid smell emanated from who-knew-where.

A pale white hand reached out from around the bend, clawing at the floor. A second hand followed after it, then a head of long, tangled black hair. Finally, a woman slowly crawled down the stairs, her long white dress so dirty that it had turned gray. Her four limbs were fractured in multiple places. She stumbled as she crawled, breaking her bones even further, each cracking sound making anyone who heard shiver. At last, she fell upon the bottommost step, hand slowly reaching toward the person standing there…

Jiang Ziya couldn’t help but move aside, allowing the woman in the white dress to crawl down without obstruction. Even though she shouldn’t be able to touch him, Jiang Ziya felt that he would have nightmares for three days straight if he let such a scary thing pass through his body!

Happy October, happy Halloween! This update is going to be short and quick since it’s already late in the month. We hope to have other series return next month! November soon!

Last month’s poll was about which character Yu Shu should summon as the next Keeper brother. The winner of the poll was Lesus, as “Book Keeper!” I’m sure Hold Keeper would love that.

This month’s poll from anon is about the cutest aberrant. :3

Throw your poll ideas at us here!

ETA: Happy Halloween! o/ Just one chapter for now. We’ll be back with more.

Dominion’s End V6C5: The Captain that Got Slapped Too Hard

Dominion’s End Volume 6: The Unknown Elite

Original novel in Chinese by: 御我 (Yu Wo)

Chapter 5: The Captain that Got Slapped Too Hard—translated by lucathia & Miaka_Mei (proofread by Trespasserby & J Tao; C/E edited by lucathia)

I tossed out an entire wall as an ice shield, protecting Chen Yanqing from the front. In the very next second, the shield was in shattered pieces all across the ground.

Chen Yanqing was knocked onto his back. Wen Jianuo’s expression changed. He quickly rushed over to check on his comrade’s condition, only to see him breathing heavily with his face full of pain. However, with Wen Jianuo’s support, he was still able to sit up.

Wen Jianuo dug out a bullet from the chest area of Chen Yanqing’s bulletproof vest. Still, the bullet had blood on it. This gun had strong firepower. The bulletproof vest hadn’t been able to block the attack, and the bullet had managed to meet its mark. If not for the ice shield obstructing it, I had a strong feeling that this bullet would have directly blasted Chen Yanqing’s head into pieces.

The ice shield I had tossed up had been slightly angled. Even though the ice shield I had formed on the spot wasn’t sturdy enough, the angle would make sure the bullet would ricochet or be deflected.

I was once again grateful for Uncle’s guidance. Who says that a memory ability isn’t useful? The key is the person with the ability!

Also, Uncle had speculated that his power shouldn’t just be having an improved memory. Even his thoughts had become clearer and faster. It probably wasn’t just memory. It could be that his brain’s full capabilities had been unlocked, and that it had simply best manifested in his improved memory.
