    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 6.1 Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Lizz   "That must have been quite a difficult situation."   "You say that as if it doesn't concern you, but I'm afraid he's your junior apprentice."   "Junior apprentice! It has such a lovely ring to it."   Rosalind, looking truly pleased, rolled the word around in her mouth several times. Leon, who had said it as a joke, was bewildered by her reaction.   "No, treating someone of such low status as a junior apprentice, if the Lord…

      by Silavin Translator: Lizz   The setting sun lingered at the edge of the mountains as if about to fall into darkness, casting its final glimmer as it struggled. With one hand raised to shield his eyes from the glare, Leon walked along the path where the trees cast deep shadows. The oppressive heat of midday had abated, and a pleasant, cool breeze had begun to blow by dusk. The heat of the day seemed to have passed its peak.   Beyond the thicket of camphor trees, fields tended with great care by…

      by Silavin Translator: Lizz   Everything in the world was made of a force invisible to humans. This force was simply called 'power' or 'magic'. The flow of this force was called 'magic vein'.   Magic vein was the flow of power that constituted this world, the way it existed, and its principles.   Now, there were rare individuals who were born with an organ called a 'guiding vein'. Although invisible, it was thought to be similar to blood vessels or other internal organs that form the…

      by Silavin Translator: Lizz   The following spring, six mages left Ceres' apprenticeship. In previous years, at most two would join the guild, and there were even years when none joined, but this year saw a large-scale recruitment.   The ones who joined the guild included three senior apprentices who were a year older than Leon, two boys of the same age, and a girl who was a year younger. Seven remained with Ceres. Leon, at seventeen, was the oldest, while the others were still too young to join…

      by Silavin Translator: Lizz   "Wow, you're taking on an apprentice, Leon?"    "Well, although it might be presumptuous of me to say, you are technically my apprentice too."   The girl laughed, her lovely face framed by a luxurious lace collar. Her blonde hair, neatly tied, shone like gold in the afternoon summer sunlight. Beneath the hair, which looked as soft and fresh as melted honey, peeked out eyes the exact color of blooming wild violets. Her beauty was not the flashy kind, but…

      by Silavin Translator: Lizz   There was a region called Cadenza to the north of Lavarta. Originally, it was the territory of the neighboring country, Shale, but Lavarta won it in a war about fifty years ago. It had originally been recognized as an autonomous region within Shale, and strictly speaking, it had not even been Shale's territory. Cadenza was located on the slopes of the Sera Mountains, near the foothills; the cold was severe in winter and the land was barren, making it a difficult place to live.…

      by Silavin Translator: Lizz   Now that the fear of death had passed, all that came to Leon's mind was anger.    Since taking over the private school from Ceres, he had maintained a delicate distance from the villagers as if walking on thin ice, and had managed to get by without major issues. All the apprentices who had come to Leon so far had been commuting students, and they understood their own situation well enough to avoid causing trouble with the villagers, to the extent that their visits…

      Chapter 4.1 Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Lizz   A familiar face appeared about a month after Zechs arrived. It was the change of the season, when the cool breeze in the morning and evening started to feel pleasant. The leaves were finally beginning to change color all around the village, and the villagers were busy harvesting their well-ripened crops. Gateau showed up at such a time, appearing at the hut in his travel attire, perhaps returning from a mission.   Of course, it was always the same with no prior…

      Chapter 4.2 Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Lizz   Leon endured the pain and began to chant a spell in a small voice. He connected his own guiding vein with the surrounding magic vein and used the magic he absorbed to heal the wound. Few mages could use healing magic, which belonged to the field of biological interference, but Leon could. However, it was not because he had special talent or was superior to others; it was simply a matter of compatibility, like the difference between being good at long-distance running or…

      Chapter 5.1 Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Lizz   About two months after taking on Zechs, during which Leon had spent his days teaching swordsmanship with hardly any conversation, a letter arrived at the hut. The letter was from Lord Andrews' butler, stated that Rosalind would return in about fourteen days and that he should resume her lessons. However, there was nothing left to teach her. All that remained was a final confirmation, after which she would be granted the medal that signified a mage. This medal guaranteed that…
