    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.'

      by Silavin Translator – Erza Editor – Ben Finalized Editor – Silavin   Although Yang Kai was only fifteen this year, due to his experiences these past three years, he is far more mature than his peers. It is also because of this, that he forged this unyielding character. So when he calmed down, sitting on his bed he carefully started to read the first page. After confirming there were no extra things popping out of the first page, he started to read the second page. With his previous…

      Chapter 8, A Beautiful Thin Waist Cover
      by Silavin Translator – Erza Editor – Ben Finalized Editor – Silavin   Half an hour after he broke through, the results of quenching body record were evident. Although his own knowledge contributed, if not for that technique, he believed that he needed another three-four months before advancing. With this, he breathed in deeply and exhaled out the impurities in his body. From within his mouth, out came a pitch-black smoke. Filthy, as it tumbled to the ground. After expectorating this…

      Chapter 9, Treasurer Meng Cover
      by Silavin Translator – Erza Editor – Ben Finalized Editor – Silavin   Throughout his years in High Heaven Pavilion, the only person Yang Kai really knew was Treasurer Meng. After all, he needed to go to him every month. Treasurer Meng had a nickname which most people referred to him as, Bully Meng. Even though his position is a treasurer, he still liked to extort contribution points from other Disciples. Take Blood Clotting Cream for example, usually it would be sold around ten…

      Chapter 2, Dashing Towards a Wall Without Looking Away Cover
      by Silavin Translator – Erza Editor – Erza Finalized Editor – Silavin In the Sect, there was one rule: All High Heaven Pavilion Disciples were allowed to be challenged once every five days. If they had a level difference of three, the weaker Disciple was allowed to decline. The winner will then be able to gain contribution points, while the loser will have points deducted. In High Heaven Pavilion, contribution points were equivalent to money. If you have enough contribution points, you could…
