GOD V3Epilogue: Character Introductions

GOD —The Beginning of the End— Volume 3: The End Begins

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

Afterword—translated by lucathia (proofread by elisa)

The largest change in this volume was Saiximili’s personality, conduct, and some of his small quirks.

In the old edition, Saiximili’s personality was much more bumbling, and he didn’t show much responsibility toward his nation, though this could be because I depicted too little of the avian nation. The importance of his own nation to Saiximili was not shown properly. Anyway, when I examined this later on, I felt that this kind of Saiximili did not match the Saiximili I had in mind.

Perhaps he really doesn’t like being a king much, and isn’t very good at it either, but he is still the king, and he does his best to be a good king. Therefore, I highlighted his responsibility toward his position as king more. Finally, the king, Saiximili, is properly depicted.

Other changes include strengthening the guard captain Barna and Markham’s presence, paving the way for future plot related details regarding the avian nation.

GOD V3C10: Encroaching Death

GOD —The Beginning of the End— Volume 3: The End Begins

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

Chapter 10: Encroaching Death—translated by lucathia (proofread by Trespasserby & Arcedemius)

Dan frowned in thought. Since Shooting Star is the Guide of Doom and the Fischer Merchant Guild has the Guide of Existence, then why is the Goldenstyle Merchant Guild that I belong to searching for the Stones of Original Sin?

Saiximili had already confirmed that there were only two guides and two starseers, so it was impossible for the Goldenstyle Merchant Guild to have a guide. Since it’s impossible for the Goldenstyle Merchant Guild to have a guide or even a starseer, then how did the guild learn about something like the Stones of Original Sin?

Just as Dan was thinking of asking for Saiximili’s opinion, a pair of slim, pale hands rested behind his neck before he could open his mouth. The touch on his neck was a little cold and highly unsettling.

Dan’s expression abruptly changed, but he did not duck out of reach. There was only one person who possessed the ability to silently approach him from behind without anyone’s notice, and who possessed the sheer cheekiness to do such a boring thing.

“Darling, I haven’t heard anything from you ever since you got on the boat. I’ve been so worried!”

Just like I thought. Dan sighed. I don’t think I’ll be able to get used to this kind of greeting even after experiencing it for another one hundred years.

Eclipse Hunter V3C1: Memories of Yue Ya’er in the Evening

Eclipse Hunter Volume 3: Angel, Slaughter

Original novel in Chinese by: 御我(Yu Wo)

Chapter One: Memories of Yue Ya’er in the Evening—translated by Trespasserby (proofread by elisa & J Tao; C/E edited by Simone)

Ri Xiang Yan picked up his cup and drank some black coffee. The coffee had been steeped for too long. It was so bitter that even despite being used to drinking black coffee, he couldn’t help scowling. The coffee made his mood even worse. He lifted his head, looked at the screen of the video call and impatiently said, “I don’t care what others are saying. It doesn’t matter what kind of forceful or underhanded tactics you have to use. I need Bai Lian Yue ousted.”

The face on the screen of the video call was that of the extremely capable secretary who was also known as the Sun Emperor’s right hand—Kyle.

“Sun Emperor, the Purple Moon Alliance has been cleverly manipulating public opinion by exaggerating our use of certain punishments and secret methods to generate a considerable amount of unfavorable opinion toward us. It is to the extent that even other economic alliances believe the Sun Alliance intends to annex all alliances, and that the destruction of the Purple Moon Alliance would only be the first step. At the moment, it seems if we really do eliminate the Purple Moon Alliance, it will cause the other alliances to take action.”

“Hmph! Looks like Bai Lian Yue also realized the pitiful Purple Moon Alliance can’t withstand my wrath.”

Ri Xiang Yan was unsurprised by Kyle’s report. After all, their opponent had also been navigating the business world for many years, and the Purple Moon Alliance was considered one of the largest alliances in the world. It would have been strange if Bai Lian Yue hadn’t taken any measures to guard against Ri Xiang Yan’s vengeance.

Eclipse Hunter Volume 3: Angel, Slaughter

Original novel in Chinese by: 御我(Yu Wo)

Prologue—translated by Trespasserby (proofread by Elisa and Minthe; C/E edited by Simone)

“Bye, Ezart. Bye, El-gē. Bye, Eloise. And bye to Eli too. I’ll see you all tomorrow!”

Ri Xiang Ye happily and energetically waved at the four people in the doorway. On his face was what his older brother declared was the world’s most adorable smile.

Ezart didn’t even turn his head around and just casually raised a hand in reply.

“Bye, Ah Ye.” Elian displayed a dazzling smile and replied properly.

“Ah Ye, you aren’t allowed to wear those hideous glasses to class!” Eloise warned with her hands on her hips.

As for Eli, he only turned his head slightly and nodded.

Ri Xiang Ye once again waved with all his might. He stood in the doorway until he could no longer see his four classmates and only then reluctantly shut the front door. As soon as he turned around, he saw a handsome person with regal bearing and a haughty expression standing before him. This person had a full head of hair that was such a brilliant gold that it was almost blinding.

“Gēge!” Ri Xiang Ye called out with a silly smile.

As soon as he heard this cry of “Gēge,” the monarch suddenly became an ordinary, neighborly big brother. He smiled indulgently at his little brother. As he rubbed his brother’s head, he smiled and asked, “Ah Ye, were you happy today?”

GOD V3C9: The Sinner of Pride

GOD —The Beginning of the End— Volume 3: The End Begins

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

Chapter 9: The Sinner of Pride—translated by lucathia (proofread by elisa)

“Saimi, I want to ask you about a very important matter. Will the Guide of Doom and the Guide of Existence come into conflict with each other?”

Shooting Star asked this with utmost solemnity.

Saiximili blinked. He turned to look at the other person, who sported a head of fiery red hair and a pair of large, golden eyes, a bright combination that hurt his eyes. His expression was blank. He was utterly incapable of understanding what was going on.

“So I’m dreaming then?” he mumbled, slight relief on his face.

Shooting Star looked at the king who was deluding himself with pity and cruelly said, “No, what you just saw was all real.”

Saiximili’s face instantly paled.

On the wall just now, he had seen with his own eyes, dozens of his citizens turning into flames and meat paste on the spot. His eyes simply rolled back, and his whole body directly collapsed against the ground. Following that, Dan had people carry him back to the palace with orders for him not to come back and cause trouble.

“Hey? Hurry and answer my question!”

Saiximili stared blankly at him, still unable to recover from the devastation of his citizens’ deaths.

Shooting Star gripped the king’s shoulders and shouted by his ears, “Will Doom and Existence come into conflict? Hurry and answer me. This is really super important!”

Such a strong grip made pain shoot through Saiximili; however, this pain also allowed him to finally wake up.

“Doom and Existence were in conflict from the start!”
