    Silavin

    DDL (divinedaolibrary.com) is operated and owned by Silvain. With over 5 years of experience in the web-novel translation industry, Silavin has journeyed through various roles, from a translator to becoming a site-manager. He has demonstrated a profound commitment to quality in the novels he oversees, from 'Martial Peak' to 'Fated Villain'. Such novels would not possess the quality they currently have without his hand in them. In 2017, Silavin, just a serviceman serving the army of Singapore, was hooked on wuxia and xianxia novels. Silavin could go weeks reading and immersing himself in those worlds. There, he stumbled onto a novel, whose translation has ceased. Dedicated to continuing it, driven by a vision to one day have this novel fully translated with quality, and contribution to public, he created this humble site. Without much prior experience in this field, he dove in head-first. Learned programming, learned how to translate, learned how to work in the online space of anonymous people.   Now, after more than 5 years, he, and the community that supports him, has brought DDL to its current heights.   'I would like to thank all of you who have supported us throughout this journey. DDL and I would not have ever been able to finish what we have started without all your support. Thank you. I would truly like to thank you.'

      Chapter 102, Valley of Steam Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Barnnn   By the time June arrived, the heat had come swiftly like an unwelcome guest. Even the evening bath schedule had shifted earlier to combat the worst of the heat. Having washed up and readied themselves to turn in for the night, the trio lounged in their respective beds, chatting aimlessly.   "It feels a little stuffy," Ize said, glancing toward the upper wall vent. "Maybe we should've asked for bigger windows in the container house." "But then winter would be…

      Chapter 103, Japanese Inn in Another World Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Barnnn   The Sage's Sigh, a long-established inn in Fuyuya... Once frequented by one of the great Sages who helped build Fuyuya into the city it is today, this traditional 'ryokan' is known for its strict no-shoes policy throughout the premises. Thick, handwoven carpets of folded grasses cover the floors, muffling every footfall. Thanks to the Sage's ties with prominent adventurers, the inn offers discounted rates to those of B-rank and higher. Even more indulgent, certain…

      Chapter 104, Sweet Tooth Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Barnnn   After thoroughly teasing Fieda -- and receiving solid karate chops to the top of their skulls in retaliation -- Ize and Hal settled down, and the conversation turned serious again.   "Can we ask to delay the promotion to C-rank for now?" Hal asked. "You mean as a personal request?" Fieda raised an eyebrow. "Not very common, but I've heard of a few people doing it." "What kind of reasons would they have?" "Once you reach A-rank, there are obligations that…

      Chapter 106, The Forbidden Name Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Barnnn   Volhelm had spent a good minute flailing in confusion before finally freezing in place, arms outstretched like he was about to unleash some kind of mystical hand power. There wasn't much point in staring at him, so the other three began preparing to take a break.   "Shall we rest for a bit?" Ize asked. "Yeah. We've been walking awhile," Hal agreed. "Was I... like that too?" Fieda added, nodding toward Volhelm's statue-like pose. "Hmm," Ize tilted her…

      Chapter 109, After the Night Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Barnnn   Hal sat down beside Ize, who had finally regained a measure of composure, and took a sip of warm tea. It was summer, yes -- but right now, warm tea somehow felt more soothing. He needed it.  Because what came next... was the last thing he wanted to hear.   "So," he began, carefully keeping his tone neutral, "did you fix Bardveles's wing?" Ize blinked. "You figured it out?" "If I hadn't, I'd be an idiot." "You could at least pretend not to…

      Chapter 110, Sugar Arts Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Barnnn   Once the group had finished recounting what had happened, they began to discuss their next steps.   "So, what now?" Fieda asked, glancing at the others. "Hmm, good question," Volhelm murmured, tapping his chin. "Ize probably won't wake up for a while, right?" "It'd feel wrong to wake her. Let's wait until she's had enough rest," Fieda replied. Then, turning to Hal, "You hungry?" "Yeah, I could eat a little," Hal said, already shifting on the…

      by Silavin Translator: Barnnn     "Phew, that was a good soak."   Hal stepped out of the bath, stretching lazily as he glanced around the cavern. He spotted Ize and Sato chatting animatedly near Bardveles, clearly caught up in something. He took a step toward them, intending to let them know the bath was free now--   A thunderous roar exploded through the vast cave.   "GROOOAAARRR!!"   The sound hit Hal like a physical force. His body lifted from…

      Chapter 107, Before the Night Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Barnnn   "Isn't that name way too long?" Hal said. "Fuya said the same thing," the Fire Dragon replied. "He could never memorize the whole thing." "How about we give you a nickname?" Ize suggested. "Might help us feel more connected." "If it were shorter, I bet people would actually start using it," Hal added. "Mister Volhelm, got any bright ideas?" "Eh... is it really okay to give THE Fire Dragon a nickname?" Volhelm asked, clearly hesitant. "Feels kind of...…

      by Silavin Translator:  Ashish Translation Checker: Silvain   At this moment, with Ling Er’s body cleansed by the Holy Light Essence, along with the Mother of Earth and the Primordial Yin and Yang Energies, among other precious treasures, had her foundation reforged.   Grinning, a hint of anticipation flickered in Yu Zi Yu’s eyes.   By all accounts, this was an artificial Divine Physique.   A Divine Physique, also known as Extreme Dao Physiques, was a type of…

      Book 3: Volume 3 Bonus Chapter 4 Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Kazumi Editor: Silavin   "Dammit...!"   Iru swore loudly as he headed toward the official guild's archives. He knew no one was around to hear him. If he had done something similar at the guild's counter or in the dining room, it would have attracted unwanted attention, and Iru was well aware of that fact.   The source of Iru's irritation was his abysmal success rate on recent requests. Just yesterday, he had ventured to the Tower with his last shred of hope,…
