Dìdi, do you not recognize me? It’s Gēge.”

Awaiting orders.

“You must call him Dark Sun for him to work. That was the name we inputted. Of course, you can also change it. You only have to give the command and clearly say what his name will be changed to.”

“What the hell are you talking about? Dìdi? Ah Ye?”

“Dark Sun. Turn around and confirm your highest priority master.”

Order received.

Taking action: verify highest priority master.

“Confirming highest priority master. Appearance: Match. Iris recognition: Match. Preliminary confirmation of Master verified. If a second matching profile and iris is found, will proceed with DNA confirmation. Does Master wish to initiate the name changing sequence?”

“Change names? Change what name? Your name has never changed! You are not Dark Sun! You are ‘Ri Xiang Ye,’ my only dìdi!”

Interpreting: change of name ordered by highest priority master.

Taking action: initiating name changing sequence.

“Ri Xiang Ye. Name changing sequence completed. Dìdi also accepted as a nickname.”

Analyzing highest master: sad, bitter, coughed blood.

Taking action: inquire.

Taking action: send to hospital.

Taking…

Warning: someone intends to assassinate the highest master!

“Ah Ye?”

Confirming identity: Dr. An Te Qi, Lv. 2 in command, waiting to receive orders.

“Ah Ye?”

Waiting to receive orders…

“…Dark Sun.”

“Yes, Dr. An Te Qi.”

Waiting to receive orders, analyzing Dr. An Te Qi’s condition: Sad, pained.

Executing action: Inquire.

“Dr. An Te Qi, how may I help you?”

“…Heavens! I shouldn’t have done this surgery, I really shouldn’t have! But if I hadn’t, they would still have found someone else to do it, in which case I might as well be the one to carry it out. At least I can still persuade them to make the part that represses emotions reversible…”

Analysis: Not an order, not a question, unable to execute action.

“Ah Ye… no, Dark Sun, do you still remember the Gēge you repeatedly called out for?”

Analysis: Question, Lv. 2 in command.

Executing action: Reply.

“No, memories have been sealed.”

“Ah Ye, you always said that Gēge would come and rescue you, but where is he now? It has been so many years. Just where in the world is he?!”

“I do not require the action of being rescued.”

“You do not require… Hahahaha! Indeed, you do not need it anymore as you are now. Perhaps that’s good, or better! At least you won’t be eternally waiting for the Gēge that will never arrive; you don’t need to smile at me, the rotten person who doesn’t dare save you! Repressing your emotions may be for the best, haha…ah…hic…”

The End NO.1: Desire—translated by TaffyGirl13 (proofread by Xuan & Trespasserby; C/E edited by lucathia)

“How is Dark Sun’s condition?”

Receiving inquiry. Source of voice: group of doctors from laboratory. Speaker is Lv.3 in command. Determined to be no danger.

“His condition is good. It’s truly unfathomable. I hadn’t thought that implanting the chip would actually succeed. Now, Dark Sun’s level will definitely triple and the previous speed restriction will finally be resolved!”

Starting self-inspection.

“An order just came from above: it must immediately be confirmed that Dark Sun no longer has any emotional responses. Sigh, a surgery as major as implanting a chip is already an unprecedented success, but in the end, the first thing we need to verify is instead this?”

Chip operations normal. Head injury not yet recovered. Restoration status normal. Pain index: 5.

“Lower your voice! In any case, we just do whatever the higher-ups say.”

Current situation determined to be in a surgery recovery period. No major orders on short-term. Automatically entering stand-by mode.

“But, how exactly do we confirm that Dark Sun no longer has emotional responses? He’s usually very indifferent and has already been untalkative these past few years. Even when we ask him questions, he simply nods or shakes his head in response. He didn’t have many emotional reactions in the first place.

“We could use detectors for brain waves and heart rate. Have An Te Qi speak with Dark Sun—only he can make Dark Sun respond.”

No Hero V9Prologue: EX

No Hero Volume 9: Endless Days

Original novel in Chinese by: 御我(Yu Wo)

Prologue: E.X.—translated by TaffyGirl13 (proofread by Trespasserby; C/E edited by lucathia)

Darkness had fallen outside the pulled open curtains. There was no moonlight tonight, though the sky was filled with bright stars. It seems that from today onwards, there should not be a need to specially draw the curtains closed. Originally, it had been so that Master would not feel uncomfortable from being struck by excessive sunlight while moving around during the daytime. As a result, I would always close the curtains before going to sleep and open them once again after waking at night.

However, Master never moved around during the daytime, so this action was unnecessary. Moreover, there were numerous windows in the ancient castle. Handling every single one was a fairly time-consuming task. It would be better to use that time to tidy up the surroundings.

After all, the ancient castle was severely lacking in staff at the moment, since Master truly detested people very much. Even with the rationale that Miss Tong required companions, he was only willing to let us hire one maid and one chef.

I opened the study door. The other person was already awake and was currently standing next to the window to look outside. “Master, your meal is ready.”

The other person turned around and coldly stated, “Call me X, Endelis. The next time you address me incorrectly, I won’t correct you. You can just leave.”

“My sincere apologies, Mas—X.”

No Hero V8Epilogue: Character Introductions

No Hero Volume 8: The End, the Beginning, Part Two

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

Afterword—translated by lucathia (proofread by Faren & J Tao)

The afterword contains spoilers for the plot. Please finish reading the story before coming to read the afterword. Thank you.

This volume should be named the volume of the Sun Emperor’s machinations.

From this volume, you should be able to tell that Luo Ye isn’t a big deal at all in the Sun Emperor’s eyes. Our great Sun Emperor only ever takes action for Ah Ye’s sake, especially now that Ah Ye’s thousand years are at stake. In comparison, Luo Ye is simply as unimportant as a single leaf to the Sun Emperor.

I wonder, as everyone read the book, were you able to guess just how many goals the Sun Emperor wished to achieve? Perhaps, after reading volume 9, you will discover even more goals.

The great Sun Emperor is very busy, so he wants to finish everything in one shot, giving the author a huge headache, too. I just want to yell: Are you done yet? Isn’t this enough? Just what else do you plan on doing?!
