Amamiya Hiroto is unlucky. His life consisted of misfortune after misfortune, culminating in an unlucky death during an incident on a school boat trip, trying to save a girl he barely knew. After death, he met a god of reincarnation who requested that the hundred or so dead passengers—one of them being the girl he tried in vain to save—be reincarnated into another world.
Yet a series of unfortunate events forced Hiroto to reincarnate with even less luck than before, starting with nothing but a tremendous amount of Mana. His second life, far worse than his first, came to a cruel end.
However, upon meeting the god a second time, he was informed that there would be yet another reincarnation—one that had already been set in motion and could not be stopped. Not wanting Hiroto to endure a third life filled with suffering, the god cursed him before he was reborn in the hopes that he would either die quickly or commit suicide.
Hiroto was reborn once more as a half-vampire, half-dark elf. A dhampir. Not wanting a fourth life, he is determined to live this third life with the only things remaining from his previous lives—Death Magic and his enormous Mana pool.

I have come after a long time for a re read. The new site design is more appealing, but there is one problem. There are too many ads.
I don’t mind if there are 3-4 ads, but there are like 6-7, and each one cover my whole screen. Somehow, it breaks my reading experience and flow.
If you could do something about it, that would be great. Otherwise, there is no problem.
Your translations are the best!
Shadow1
Okay, I take back my comment. After some time, the ads disappeared. Sorry for the inconvenience, if any.

Yay!! Thank you for the upload. I hope your new job is going well!

Out of curiosity, why Basdia and the other ghouls don’t want the MC to see them while they are with others, isn’t it supposed that they have no concept of fidelity?
Ronin
That was true in the beginning of the story back when Ghouls had issues with children so they mated with whomever. But, that was fixed over a decade ago. So it is slowly having a concept of infidelity.
Derby Hat
Because they don’t want a child seeing them do it even if it is van

According to what they have told me, the author does not plan to continue the story and the ending was weak. The story had a lot of hate for this and other things.

Akachi86
The ending is fine. It would be nice to have more afterstories, but the main plot points are resolved and that’s all that matters.
ClapClay
It is fine, but it drops some potential storylines and leaves some of the potentialy important characters underused (like Braver or Asagi in their ideological conflict with Van). Plus it ends in a way that makes it impossible to continue the story with anything other than slice-of-life comedy. From what I’ve heard, the author has decided to change the ending in the LN version, so it may become fitting for the afterstory. Maybe something like now nonexistent WN version of Monster Tamer (with wars between worlds). Or maybe it’ll just turn into something like arifureta garbage…

@ramsespupo
You do know that publicly recorded feedback is usually negative, right? If you have a bad experience you want others to know about it. You want to vent, payback, or (rarely) actually advise others of your experience & viewpoint with X business/service/product.
On the other hand, if you had a positive experience, most people are satisfied with that & don’t go out of their way to review or comment on said business/service/product. Unless you are of a certain disposition or thought so highly of your experience that you just HAVE to let others know, positive feedback usually doesn’t make it into the public record in the same way that negativity does.

Did i miss something ?
1 in which chapter got the statue from him finished ? Shouldnt there a celebration ? Mabye after ch 299 ?
2“To put it briefly… or rather, to be frank, it seems to me that you are in a state of peril… despite the fact that in that nation of yours, your continued existence is necessary for the Undead and Monsters to retain their ability to reason.” (ch299)
“Mmm, that’s painful criticism,” said Vandalieu, accepting these words without opposing them THIS TIME now that they were being spoken by Botin, and not the murderer of his mother.
When did Heinz say that to him ? He didnt say it in chapter 200 or any chaper after that right?
It is just weird wording or did i miss/forget a talk between them?
Utsuho
1) The Huge statue of him was said to be finished in Chapter 292.
It got offscreened, just like the birth of his first son, as it is barely mentioned at the end of chapter 293.
2) It is true that Heinz never said that to Vandalieu in chapter 200 (What Heinz said at the time was that Vandalieu did good for Vida’s race but not good for humans and that’s bad because it lead to war and stuff)
He started pointing the argument of Talosheim being a Undead time bomb after coming back from Mill’s nursery in the side Chapter 42. (Volume 12)
WasSollDas
Question, how is Van able to level his skills independently ? I know he can level with his familiars but sometimes he levels just by doing something alone which should not be possible!
Mental corruption for example how can he level that ? He didnt share any exp with other at that time.
Boss18212
Skills level differently to the person’s level, for example: Cooking over and over approves the level of someone’s [Cooking] skill but their overall personal level won’t increase. Van’s curse prevents his personal level from increasing independently but not his skill levels.
DeadToxic7
Nice… New cover 😉👍
Boss18212
I find it kind of suspicious that Yoshi began releasing chapters in bulk when Eximperia was doing some translation, but has greatly slowed since Eximperia stated that they’ll no longer doing the translations.
lilene
almost like competition breeds innovation. but yes I agree 100%, we need Eximperia back. Also noticed Yoshi started charging $200 a chapter as well. which is kinda adding insult to injury.
Eternal Abyss
Facts. He only started uploading when the threat of losing money happened. And once that changed, he switched his tune real quick. This recent mass of releases only proves that Yoshi is a lazy bum. He could easily release 2 chapters a month at minimum, but always comes up with excuses for why he he can’t/doesn’t. I wish the other guy kept translating, but it was great while it lasted.
Yoshi
> This recent mass of releases only proves that Yoshi is a lazy bum
This is some absurd mental gymnastics, you can’t make this shit up lmao
ClapClay
I’d say it’s too soon to go into the panic mode only after a week without new chapters. Although, as I recall, it was mentioned that he’ll be translating heavily only for a couple of months, so we could be in the “chapter-per-month” territory again. Also, it looks like he charges 200$ only for the “extra-long chapters”.
Libio
This is little random, but who else like new cover picture that appeared for this story? I like how it looks like Van holds gun. While according description in story, Van doesn’t have weapon/skill that look like this, it is close enough and honestly it looks cool. He looks like secret agent or something. This should be equivalent to volume 5 in novel, I believe (not sure with manga, don’t read it much).
Utsuho
At the time of the story, Van did try developing his own gun. It was more like a pipe and it blew up every time he used it. He used it against Bellmond and Ternecia.
As for the skill that he levelled with it, I believe he got Artillery spell thanks to it.
Then he woke up the Demon King fragment and the pipe gun became obsolete.
ramsespupo
any News about the autor and the After story?
Kingscumon
As fan i want to keep reading until the very end but i understand That Yoshi has his own life. Speed can be a bit slow but Eximperia also has Made a good Translation so meanwhile Yoshi is preparing the New chapter or facing his daily live, this is a way to faigth against the agnst of waiting. Read both and make your own judgement. In the end if still here is beacause we enjoy the serie.
Rekkheil
so where are the people complaining about the translation speed or accusing yoshi of being lazy ? not complaining now are you ?
can’t be allowed to do anything other than translating can he ?
dude got a life to live , he’s getting payed sure but he still can’t translate everyday despite what he’s doing now , understand that people , dude probably have a job too.
Utsuho
Most of the comment aged like milk.
ClapClay
People were complaining about the translation speed when there were NO chapters being released FOR MONTHS. They AREN’T complaining now because there ARE new chapters being released. Too difficult to comprehend for you?
And then there was the fact that he demands pre-payments to actually start working on the new chapters (just a reminder – he weren’t translating in several months). “Dude got a life, dude got a job”, so I guess literally every other translator in existence is a lifeless jobless deadbeat?
Now, I’m gonna reveal you a VERY BIG SECRET that only people who ever worked on translations know. Ready? Ok, here I go. Sometimes, when translators are too busy with the real life and can’t deliver the expected, or go on hiatus due to the personal reasons, they pass the baton to other translators and let them continue the translation. And I’m pretty sure that Yoshi is one of the few people aware of this secret, because, as I recall, at some point he took over the Tsukimichi translation for a time, when the original tranlator was busy with the real life stuff.
And I SINCERELY hope that YOUR comments won’t age like milk and we’ll actually see the end of the series somewhere in the next year.
Metazoxan
How about understanding the fact that until this burst of translation started … we were looking at 10+ years to finish the story at minimum.
It’s fine being understanding and all. But the end of the day results have to account for something and people who want to see the end of the story have a right to … want to see it sooner than a decade from now.
This isn’t to say Yoshi’s work isn’t appreciated. Because it certainly is. But no matter how good his translation is if it takes too long then that’s an issue by itself.
Which is why this burst in translation that’s carving out a MASSIVE chunk of the story is SUPER EXTRA appreciated.
But that’s no excuse to condemn people who simply wanted to have a chance to read the ending in their lifetime. As long as they aren’t going too far and trash talking Yoshi for the work that he does do.

~spoiler removed~, what a disappointment I guess I had too many expectations from an author with an netorare fetish😢

According to my calculations, at the current pace that the translation is going we will get the last chapter of the WN in 18 years and 8 months.

Love the amount of people blaming Yoshi for the lack of chapter uploads, insisting it must be his fault while not considering anything that’s out of his hands. To you dipshits, he got a new job.
Eximperia
Hello all, since it’s been long ass time since a chapter has released, I decided to translate Chapter 302 using ChatGPT while editing out the wrong parts. It should be close to perfect, though the format, terms used and translation style is vastly different compared to Yoshi’s.
If you still don’t mind about any of that, you can check it out at this link. If a lot of people are interested, I’ll do more chapters. Do give feedback, thanks.
https://pastebin.com/WP7vqDqp
Akachi86
Cool. Are you using the raws with translated terms as a basis, or just pasting the full raws?
https://nemnapos.no-ip.biz/dm/
As for the translation itself: it’s good. Yeah, Yoshi’s hand translated ones with explanations for idioms and the like will always be better, but he’s so damn slow as of late he’ll probably never finish.
If you have the wherewhital to do this thankless job then please continue.
SmerchOleg
I would usually be very thankful, but I am decided to read by this translation till the end as I have already read enough spoilers in comments that I don’t have the urge to read new styles despite the speed.
Akachi86
Suit yourself. Eximperia’s translations are very good and it seems we’ll get several chapter per week, not per year.

Maybe there was a copyright claim? Someone does not wanting the translator making money off the series? At the very least would be nice to know if they delay was cause something is going on IRL or if they just are lazy. Radio silence just fans the flames more.

DocMartin
The translation speed of WN is atrocious. Dude now translates only one chapter with more than a month in between. And it’s not like he is translating for free. He should just pass the baton if he is unable to keep this up. At this point it just feels as if he is milking the fandom. At this pace, it will take years before the series is fully translated.
Randy Rando
But the quality… Mmmph, Mwah! (chef’s kiss)
DocMartin
Agreed, the quality is good. But what good it does if the release frequency is so low that you are not able to enjoy that quality?
ClapClay
The funniest thing is that this translation gets about 35 millions monthly views. Not a bad traffic for a reading site, I’d say. Don’t know how much money they’re getting from the ads, but for a site that is mostly abandoned (they don’t even care about cleaning that spam from the comments)… I mean, if you’re getting paid for doing nothing, why bother doing anything? And you can just keep your ass sitting on this translation, while rarely releasing some symbolic updates, so that other translators won’t try to pick it up (because “translator’s integrity” and stuff), and people gonna pay you in hopes that one day (in about 10 years, following the current pace) it’ll be finished…
DocMartin
I hope the LNs catch up to the WN soon. That way we can also support the author instead of waiting for this guy to release one chapter in months
ClapClay
Didn’t knew that the LN version has an english translation, but apparently it is, yay! Although it’s only on the second volume out of 9 currently released (and even that covers about 120 WN chapters out of 400+ total, so it’s gonna be a looong wait – if we’re to assume twice-per-year release without any story arcs being added/cut, it’d take about 15 years to release it fully). And that’s without mentioning the possible censorship…
Still, better than nothing, just have to wait.
DocMartin
I am beginning to think that at this point, it is better to just learn Japanese.
Viral
* I am beginning to think that at this point, it is better to just learn Japanese.
To the point of making sense of what the AI translators produce? may be the case, a couple of years (of serious study) and you can learn the rules and where the automatic translators get confused so things make much more sense.
Maybe not a good return just to read one single novel series, but if you want to read other things released for free in the internet I think is worth it, specially because by reading this way you keep learning more and more Japanese until you can skip the automatic translators and just search now and then for details difficult to understand.
lilene
so when will next chapter be out? we get 1 chapter a month now?
Randy Rando
It’s generally around once a month give or take. One’s due anytime now.
Good Reads21
My theory is that Alda and gang used the demon king the kill Zakart and his gang because once they made the nuke the other heroes would have been useless because of jealousy
Utsuho
The demon king heard of a powerful weapon that the creation oriented champions were making. He put himself two armies with one that looked very huge, strong and resilient on purpose to keep the fighters champions (and most gods around) busy while he personally went with a small force against the creation oriented champions.
If Alda was so calculative and smart and really wanted to get rid of every thorns on his side by using the DK’s plan for his own, he would have left Vida go to Zakkart’s side to die with him. He didn’t, because he didn’t know and didn’t wanted that to happen either.
Beside, Zakkart didn’t believe that a nuke alone was enough to kill the DK. he asked Bellwood to use his cheat power to finish the DK while he’s down after eating the nuke on the face. But before creating the Nuke, Zakkart was on his way to make a small version to see with the gods if they could purge radiations properly and if that could kill Evil gods, because even he was aware that a nuke was a bad idea, especially if that didn’t work as intended, like the guns.

There’s only so many excuses you can make before it just seems like Bone-idleness. $150 is a fair bit if cash in this day and age. It could be the deciding factor if a family eats that week. However Yoshi asks us for that $150 per chapter which he may or may not translate. Ngl 150 is a bit steep a price anyway but to be fair it’s a really high quality translation. If people are paying upto 150 bucks then you need to provide a product in timely manner. Yoshi does have the time, unless he works for a black company that uses him for slave labour or he constantly breaks both arms and every bone in his hands all at once. He should have a couple of hours a day to translate. Even if it’s only 1 hour a day spent on translation to be released once a week there’s time in the day when you’re being payed 150 per chapter. Saying you’re too busy to even release once a month is utter horseshit and fraud quite frankly. Yoshi needs to do better or at least come up with decent excuses
Pattonfan123
It’s been a long time. Maybe the translator should pass the baton.
Zcythe
Uh no Yoshi is the absolute best. Just taking time.
ClapClay
Too much time, I’d say – with all those arms being broken again and again and again (although I have no idea how a broken arm could interfere with working on a translation), “work” and “lack of work” etc. And from what I understand he now works on the translation ONLY when he’s paid, but even when he’s paid he doesn’t work (judging by the comments of people who paid him) fast enough to make you want to pay him. I also have some experience with translating, and while I don’t know how difficult it is to translate from japanese to english, I don’t think that 1-2 chapters per month is an adequate speed (from my experience, if you dedicate your time to it, then a chapter-per-day is nothing insane; a chapter-per-week if you do it in a relaxed tempo).
Now imagine if Bakapervert took over this translation…
Eternal Abyss
Facts. This guy Yoshi is just scamming people at this rate. It was fine at first, but he kept steadily increasing the pay while lowering his production. He even made it so that you can pay for chapters in advance, but hardly translates once a month. It’s ridiculous at this point. If there weren’t so many pushovers in the Discord, I’d have voiced it already. He’s getting you to pay $150 a chapter, but there’s more than 10 chapters paid for that he hasn’t translated. Getting paid for work he hasn’t done is just robbery. This dude has milked 1000s of dollars from the fandom, but you wouldn’t guess it by how much they worship him on the Discord server.
This is why I don’t pay for translations anymore. When you pay someone to do a job, they’re supposed to do it. I can understand being busy, but if he were really so busy that he couldn’t translate he should refund everyone that paid for translations but didn’t get them. Or pass on the project to someone that actually has time to work on it. But he won’t, and he will milk this series as much as possible. I actually expect him to raise the price of translations again once the story nears the end. He’ll use some bs excuse as always, and people will do it because he essentially has the monopoly on the translation. I’ll be buying the English version of the light novel, supporting the actual author instead of this bogus penny pincher.
Pattonfan123
It’s been a while when will the next chapter be ready?
Winter
The mindset of Aran and Izumi is precisely why there’s so much corruption in this world, because as long as it’s “not that bad” and “beneficial” for the overall order it’s tolerable to even do messed up things.
The problem is that the ones who usually set the metrics for what’s “not that bad” are the corrupt ones to begin with.

FunniFear
Finished in the raw translation, and the ending is bloody bad. How cheesy the ending is not satisfying at all. The whole series is teased with a harem, but there is NO activity until the very end. Why so many brides had to be spammed in the first place then, by the end you forget about some of them at all.
ClapClay
Uh, so you’re unhappy with the fact that there was no “harem activity” with the kid MC who starts as a newborn and by the very end of the story barely reaches 14? Plus it’s the only harem story I know where MC having a giant harem is actually logical – since he can just give every wife her own Van-clone, who’s also the real Van. And the ending being cheesy or not is a matter of taste – personally I liked it way more than I expected – it’s not a revenge porn, nor a naruto-friendship-fantasy. Although I do agree that many harem members have very one-dimentional personality (like the scylla girl, who’s entire character is basically “I don’t have boobs, but I have many legs!”).
FunniFear
Aside from the harem, there will be no dialogue with Rodkort.
SPOILER
He will be shackled by Alda’s stacks and won’t be able to say anything the moment the protagonist finds him and simply destroys him. That is, there won’t be ONE dialogue with the main bastard. In general, the plot about him trying to kill him and not being able to give him an ability in the beginning seems super far-fetched by the end.
ramsespupo
díd he has Sex with basdia and the others?
FunniFear
No. All that will happen is that he will propose to his mother. There will be no sexual relations with her or anyone else. He will also make two children with Tiamat and the Moon Giantess (I forget what her name is) using his blood and magic.
LanceCarlos09
You guys are fucked in the head to even think that van and his mother are a pairing. When and how did the fandom turn into this?

There’s only one true pairing – Van&Darcia, the others are just a harem members.
Akachi86
Seeing as they’re no longer blood related and he’s a mother-con that’s possible.
ClapClay
I don’t think that blood relation would’ve played any role in the story where MC adheres to cannibalism and brainwashing on a daily basis (I mean, if you think about it, Van basically encompasses every immoral thing possible). Also, they’re still kind of, uh, “bone related”, I guess (since Van used a part of her bone during the ressurection process)? Also, a huge GIANT SPOILER (which I’m not gonna spoil so that ten years later (when this translation finally reaches the latest chapters) we can all pretend to be surprised and say “Wow, that was unexpected scene!”).
LanceCarlos09
Wtf? How tf did this fandom turn into this? You guys okay? They’re relationship is clearly mother and son and not some twisted shit.
Akachi86
Well yeah, but Van is completely insane, so what you mentioned is normal to him.
Are you referring ot the last chapter of the post main story content, where they plan his weddings?
Imma spoil it, but realistically it’s something everyone expects:
Their lack of blood relation and the fact that souls are reused so people, especially from long lived races, can end up with someone who has the soul of their child or close relative is discussed when Van ponders if he should marry Darcia.
Darcia is not completely against it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I made this account today just to thank Yoshi, and all the editors, for putting out so many chapters last couple of weeks especially. This LN is one of my favorite to read and forget everything for a bit. Recently I lost a very close family member which is tearing me up however these chapters are one of the few things that have made me smile since it happened. It may seem silly to some, couldn’t care less about any who do, but seriously thank you for all that you do which has allowed me just enough at times to keep it together. I wish all of you all the happiness in the world for bringing some to others when they might need it.
SHADOW_EMPEROR-482
I read it constantly for more than a year hoping that it updates quicker, than I realize it is getting me nowhere so I temporarily stopped reading it so here I am back after 1 year and about 2-5 months later. “And I forgot which chapter I was at the time so I have decided to start reading the novel again and this is currently the only novel I have bothered to read from scratch again”
I’m also shocked that it hasn’t even gotten to 300 chapters I left at like 200+

To anyone who plans to start reading this title, be reminded that there are 3 sides of stories for this novel.
The main story, the side stories from Origin and the story of the translator’s excuses on their slow/delayed translation.

Well, let’s think positive – with the current speed of 1,5 chapters per month we’ll get through the remaining story in approximately 10 years, which means that most of us have a chance to see how it ends.

Remember when the translator said the donations from the period of his covid quarantine would have him backed up for 6 months? I remember. Still haven’t seen any chapters that haven’t been paid for by 1 or 2 donors.

The reason Yoshi doesn’t release constantly is because they have a life. Since they’ve been stuck at home with Covid they’ve been releasing much more frequently.

The gods of lambda summon some people from earth to help everyone break down the wall and get to the water before everyone dies from dehydration. Zarakart suggests creating a sledgehammer to use to break down the wall, but Bellwood is against that idea because he is afraid that the people will use the hammer to hurt each other, so he wants everyone to break down the brick wall by bashing thier heads against it, and if some people die from traumatic brain injury, it can’t be helped because there isn’t a better option. Zarakart ignores Bellwood and makes several smaller hammers as practice before he tries to create a sledgehammer. Bellwood is still vehemently opposed to the creation of any and all hammers as he is using the smaller hammers to chip away at the brick wall while the people of Lambda are still bashing thier heads against the wall, so he leaves Zarakart to die of thirst. By the time Bellwood and his followers have broken a tiny hole just big enough for one or two people to squeeze through, millions upon millions of people have died of thirst and traumatic brain injuries, leaving only 3,000 alive. Despite not having been able to make it through the wall without the smaller hammers Zarakart had made, Bellwood claims that he was right all along and prevents anyone else from making hammers of thier own to widen the hole so more people can get to the water. When Vida makes some people who are able to survive with less water than normal, Bellwood claims that it is sacrilege and that all of the thirst resistant people be hunted down and slaughtered, then proceeds to attempt to murder Vida by savagely beating her with the smaller hammers Zarakart had made before he died. Vida manages to escape with crippling injuries, but Bellwood is still intent on killing her.

That is the story so far as dumbed down as I could make it. I hope it helps some people understand.

Are you ban from Reddit and Discord that you pour your summary here of all place?
Randy Rando
I don’t really use Reddit or Discord much. I’ve seen a few comments on some chapters by people who didn’t seem to understand how the two factions of gods operated saying that they agreed with Alda so I thought I would put an easy to understand explanation where many people would see it.
Humble Bumblebee
I’m not going to knock it, dude. I could wrote a goddamn dissertation on Death Mage if someone prompts me. The world building is too on point not to get that invested.

“And when you came running over, her breasts weren’t bouncing at all, despite being so big. Foolish youngster, just how many years do you think I’ve been a woman-lover?”
Thanks for the chapter! Damn what a Chad this guy is.

And he still hasn’t dug into the sub-200-dollar donations yet. I donate once a year to see how long it takes to get to mine. Looks like this time around it’s going to be more than a year.

People’s comments are almost as good as the chapter, I wonder how people feel about the lack of lost on Van’s side and should some characters be lost in this Vol.?
HauntingHyena
Hell No. Drama for the sake of drama and tragedy for the sake of tragedy are the stupidest things in literally any story.
HeyaUser
Preach!

Characters do not “need” to be lost in a story like this one, at least not the ones on the protagonist’s side.
Van’s focus on preparation, loss prevention, and being ready and able to handily destroy or devour all exterior threats exceedingly delves into the realm of the obsessive, and not without reason.
It might seem a bit contrived how there have been little to no true casualties on Van’s side after his mother’s execution, but that is the sort of story this is, I think. It is a power fantasy of taking back everything that was taken from you, safeguarding what’s yours, exceeding boundaries, and becoming happy (to the direct detriment of active or potential aggressors).
Will Van eventually lose people? We shall see, and they better make it count if he does, and not simply because he “needs” to lose them for the sake of “game balance.”

Is it worth reading?? I heard protagonist is a shota. And other some bad point.
🙏 anyone give me some authentic review .
Den_setsu
Yeah, It’s a really worthy reading. The story begings since the protagonist is a baby, so, yeah, the protagonist is a Shota because the story doesn’t have Timeskips.
And yeah, there are some details that could be not welcome. To begining with, the world it’s cruel and “raw” (I don’t what is the exactly word in english).
Thus, it’s not a Fairy story. But one of its strong point is that everything in this novel (or almost everything) has an explication, has a justification.
For me, it’s one of the best worldbuilding that I have read. Every Characther has his/her personality. And, Unlike other novels, the protagonist doesn’t move his world, the world moves the protagonist.
PD: Sorry if I had grammar mistakes, I’m not a English native speaker.
Demon_Lord_Yui
He is correct, this is a “Dark Fantasy” story with fantastic character development and world-building.
If you don’t mind a fair amount of Gore and horror stuff then give it a shot.
SpudCaleb
Give the manga a try if your wondering whether or not to give the series a read.
Despite not being a big fan of Dark Fantasy myself, I’d strongly recommend it, while this series does have some dark moments it’s rather light compared to the brutality of some other dark fantasies and we actually get happy endings here!
And how often do you see a character all angry and hell bent on revenge calm down and let go of his hatred because being happy and enjoying life with those who are important to him is better?
hidefreek
When Van simply destroyed all his enemy.
He, himself is God from H.P. Lovecraft mythology.
Humble Bumblebee
I cannot stress this enough: Vandalieu isn’t a Lovecraftian Horror, he’s what PREYS UPON THEM.
Vitor
correction, Van is stuff right off the nightmares of crosbreeds from lovecraftian beings and eldritch horrors

Is this newly translated or is it from an older volume?
thefallen
They must have reuploaded the chapters because yoshi started translating this like almost 5-6 years ago now got a job and slowed down so much I thought the story died

Just letting you guys know, I really appreciate you translating this. Thanks
