    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 303, The Ninetieth Layer: Three Spectating Students Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Barnnn Editor: Silavin   The battle against the Corrupted Shell had come to an end. On Monitor #1 in the Guild, the image of Tsutomu, the undeniable MVP of Absolute Helix's victory, was now displayed. He lay collapsed on the ground, his expression one of pure exhaustion. The viewing area, filled mostly with Explorers, erupted into cheers and applause no different than what might be heard on the streets outside.   "Damn, I'm actually tearing up a bit." "Tsutomu's…

      Chapter 304, Diniel’s Weakness Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Barnnn Editor: Silavin   "Well then, let's head back."   After casting <<Medic>> and <<Heal>> on the party using his gradually restored mental energy, Tsutomu watched as Daryl -- who had been the most exhausted of them all -- finally managed to sit up. The young man looked ready to fall asleep where he sat, so Tsutomu cast <<Medic>> on him once more before stepping through the Black…

      Chapter 302, Ninetieth Layer: Spectators Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Barnnn Editor: Silavin With neither Ealdred Crow nor Silver Beast descending into the Dungeon that day, all eyes were on Monitor #1, where the main party of Absolute Helix was being broadcast. The crowd's attention was fixed on them, currently waiting on the eighty-ninth layer.   "C'mon, just drink some Blue Potions and get going already..."   "What's the holdup?"   Grumbling to themselves, Dungeon Maniacs and casual spectators alike watched from wherever…

      by Silavin Translator: Barnnn Editor: Silavin   "Guys, I'm really sorry I couldn't be there from the beginning."   "O-oh, it's fine..."   "I didn't think the crowd would get so big that we couldn't even reach the Pedestals. I took Amy's warning too lightly -- so really, it's my fault. I'm sorry."   Korinna, still disheartened from her team's complete wipe on the ninetieth layer and their retreat back to the Clan House, looked up at Tsutomu -- who somehow appeared even…

      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…

      by Silavin Translator: Barnnn   "Fieda, now! Now! You're too slow -- ahhh!" "Was that it just now?" "Yes, that was it! Try pulling it up. See? It already got away." "...You're right. You sure know how to tell." "Of course I do. The line jerked hard!" "I thought it was just the current." "Hal! Hal! I caught a log! A massive one!" "Agh, Ize! Hold on! Don't yank it like that! The line's gonna snap!" "Ke-kyooon..." "Ah -- Sato's floating away!" "Wait, you idiot! I told you not to…

      Chapter 105, The Depths of the Earth Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Barnnn   "Good morning, everyone."   The Guild receptionist greeted them cheerfully the moment they stepped through the entrance, arriving a few minutes ahead of their scheduled departure.   "Just as Volhelm said, the water in the lake has been unusually active as of late. The townsfolk are all in a stir over it. And so..."   As she spoke, she pushed open the door to a side room where supplies had been gathered.   "...We have received a…

      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…
