Penance Traduction

``` « Même si cet univers n'est vraiment rien de plus qu'une forêt brutale, sanglante, ombragée, nous les Cultivateurs brûlerons tout ce que nous possédons juste pour produire une faible étincelle vacillante dans les ténèbres ! « Peu importe la faiblesse de chaque étincelle, sa brièveté, sa petitesse… Tant que les étincelles affluent sans relâche, alors un jour, l'une d'entre elles allumera un peu d'amadou, et cet amadou enflammera des branches tombées, et ces branches embraseront chaque arbre de la forêt jusqu'au dernier ! « Au final, même les plus petites étincelles finiront par mettre le feu à la forêt ombragée et illumineront le monde entier ! » ------ ** Qidian International et l'ancien traducteur, M. Strivon, ont trouvé un accord pour racheter les chapitres et les héberger sur notre site. Nous continuerons la traduction à partir du dernier chapitre traduit par M. Strivon ** ```

Ça avait commencé de façon étrange : son chat refusait qu’il le caresse. Lin Qiushi découvrit rapidement que la discorde se répandait tout autour de lui. Puis, un jour, il poussa une porte et découvrit que son couloir, qu'il connaissait par coeur, était devenu un couloir sans fin. Aux deux extrémités de ce couloir se trouvaient douze portes en fer identiques. Il poussa l’une des portes. Ainsi, l’histoire commence.

[I am evil. I have always been a true menace, and these qualtites only fermented as he grew older.

And so, the last thing i expected to happen to me was to b e 'chosen' for transmigration- if you call 'chosen' being brutally strangled by a vigilante in the early hours of the morning. Now, incarnated into the body of a disgraced noble, it's up to me to wield my power how I see fit! i'll makee the peasent girls service me- or face the consequences! Wait what? What do you mean punishment? What military penance???]

One day, a colossal meteorite struck the Earth, triggering a series of cataclysms. While humans were just beginning their process of recovery and planet reconstruction, an unknown energy began to spread across the Earth. Trees grew larger, animals became more powerful, threatening the survival of humankind. Fortunately, humans did not remain passive; they evolved as well, harnessing this energy to increase their own power. Among them, some received a gift from the universe from birth: a plane seed. Over time, as the Earth expanded, the rate of plane seeds among humans continued to rise, to the extent that almost every human possessed one. A new chapter in human history unfolded, with gods as the backbone of society. Some people will call it a new dawn; the dawn of the gods, Anonymous, May 28, 81395.

500 years ago, the Goddess of Order, Meena, chose a mortal whom she fancied and made him her champion, bestowing upon him great power that ensured he never lost a war and he always prevailed in the face of adversity. The 'Jojoh Meena', the blessing of the Goddess of Order, was passed down from the mortal whom she favored and down through the line of his male descendants who became Kings of the Kingdom of Binoria. The descendants, with the power of the Goddess, waged war against their rival Kingdoms. Nearly wiping out the kingdom of Kolotia who defied their rule. Subjugating the Remu and the Talisi Kingdoms and forcing them to pay an annual penance to the mighty Binoria to ensure their fate doesn't mirror that of Kolotia. Vayin Vigon, present king of Binoria and holder of the blessing of the Goddess as his ancestors before him, sits on the red throne of the most powerful kingdom in the realm, Binoria. King Vayin Vigon is unstoppable in and out of the field of battle and his reign of tyranny seems to have no end. But unbeknownst to King Vayin is a Kolotian shepherd named Ishar, a young man who catches the eye of the God of Chaos, a malevolent God named Ovek who seeks to right the wrong done to the realm 500 years ago by the Goddess Meena. As the Goddess of Order gave to the Kings of Binoria so must the God of Chaos take from Ishar so as to restore balance within the realm. And the price deemed fit to be paid by Ishar so as to be the champion of Chaos, is the young Kolotian's sanity. Will madness be enough to overcome tyranny?

A ruthless woman had crossed over to another parallel world! What’s more, she was reborn into the body of a weakling. Avery, an SSS Level assassin, a woman with defying variables and strange abilities that can’t be explained, caught the attention of many underworld bosses and bussiness tycoons because of her defiant and cruel temperament. Avery Whiteman is a woman who doesn’t understand the word love. The only words in her dictionary are; pain, cruelty, and ruthlessness. She transmigrated into another body, and God gave her a second chance for redemption. But with her personality, would there be a redemption or penance? It wasn’t until she met her heaven defying husband, Lucius Devon. A man with cruelty engraved into his veins. What happens when he gets strongly attracted to his indifferent wife, who seems to have changed her temperament? How could a man like Lucius Devon control his morbid possessiveness towards a woman with no emotions? What happens when they share a mysterious past that is difficult to fathom? Will their love be tragic?

In the crucible of courage and conviction stands Ajax Cornado, a gallant youth, resolute in his quest to be a firefighter, his heart aflame with the desire to safeguard lives. His noble aspiration is to become the very epitome of bravery and benevolence, defending the vulnerable, upholding the innocent, and extending a helping hand to those in dire straits. However, his world is thrown into chaos when an enigmatic woman condemns him to a ghastly realm, none other than Hell itself. As prevalent in many religious doctrines, Hell is a forsaken land where miracles fade into oblivion, a domain teeming with torment, the ultimate penance for those who have veered from the path of righteousness. Each stride within its infernal borders sears the soles of poor Ajax, an innocent soul wrongly condemned. But this was no mere misjudgment; it was a divine scheme, a celestial gambit. The gods, in their inscrutable wisdom, had chosen him to venture into the bowels of Hell to confront Lucifer, the sovereign of the sin of pride. Empowered by a force bestowed upon him by the divine, Ajax must navigate through this ordeal. His triumphs and trials, his feats and failures, will ultimately unveil the purpose behind his perilous journey. Only at the conclusion of this heroic odyssey will the answers to his burning questions be revealed.

Michael, a splendid however disturbed palaeontologist, coincidentally finds an old curio during an endeavour somewhere down in the core of the Amazon rainforest. Unbeknownst to him, the curio holds the way to a well-established prescience that could influence the harmony between great and fiendishness. As he takes the curio back to the city, secretive events start to unfurl around him, flagging the enlivening of a long-lethargic power. Sarah, a talented insightful columnist, is attracted to the unexplained occasions encompassing Michael. Interested by his disclosures, she begins to dig further into the starting points and ramifications of the curio. Much to her dismay that her quest for the truth will lead her into a risky trap of schemes and powerful powers. As Michael and Sarah combine efforts, they uncover a secret society known as the Request for Shadows, an old association entrusted with safeguarding the world from the noxious powers that hide in the shadows. With the prescience predicting the ascent of a strong alpha figure equipped for unleashing ruin upon humankind, the Request accepts Michael as the divinely selected individual who can either bring salvation or obliteration. As their process advances, Michael and Sarah end up sought after by both the powers of dimness and those looking to take advantage of the power inside the curio for their own benefit. Directed by the puzzling individuals from the Request, they should disentangle the privileged insights of their own pasts, face their internal evil spirits, and expert newly discovered capacities in the event that they are to have a potential for success against the coming haziness. With time expiring, Michael and Sarah attempt to beat the odds to open the ancient rarity's actual potential and satisfy the prediction. Their frightening experience takes them across old sanctuaries, failed to remember burial chambers, and perilous extraordinary domains, testing their purpose and developing their association en route. "Shadow of the Alpha" is a completely exhilarating story of predetermination, boldness, and penance as Michael and Sarah stand up to their own shadows to embrace their actual potential and save the world from the infringing haziness. Will they succeed, or will the force of the alpha consume them both?

Have you believed there is some female, whom the stupid vulgar call Holle, who is able to do a certain thing, such that those deceived by the devil affirm themselves by necessity and by command to be required to do, that is, with a crowd of demons transformed into the likeness of women, on fixed nights to be required to ride upon certain beasts, and to themselves be numbered in their company? If you have performed participation in this unbelief, you are required to do penance for one year on designated fast-days.

"Reste avec moi et je te donnerai tout ce que ton cœur désire. Pour toi, ma chérie, je séparerais les montagnes, fendrais la mer, et provoquerais le chaos sur Terre juste pour t'avoir." - - - - - Dans chaque histoire d'amour, il y a toujours une fiancée vengeresse et venimeuse qui était engagée avec le riche et beau PDG qui est tombé pour la pauvre, mais douce et innocente actrice principale. Dans sa soif de son amour, il a brisé sa pauvre fiancée dont l'amour l'a conduite au bord de la folie. Personne ne se souciait jamais de ce que la fiancée ressentait. Zhao Lifei a été préparée toute sa vie pour épouser un homme, mais soudainement, son cœur a été capturé par une autre femme. Elle a été giflée, détruite, et repoussée pour avoir aimé Zheng Tianyi. Elle était prête à sacrifier sa jeunesse, son temps, et son cœur pour cet homme, mais tout ce qu'elle a reçu en retour était de la douleur et du désespoir. Il a fallu deux années dures, mais éveillantes pour que Zhao Lifei comprenne enfin les erreurs qu'elle a commises dans le passé. Après sa rédemption, c'était maintenant à Zhao Lifei de vivre un amour plus grand que celui de l'actrice principale. Plus intelligente, plus battante, et plus spirituelle, Zhao Lifei savait comment survivre dans la cruelle, traîtresse, et dure haute société. "Un fiancé infidèle qui a brisé mon cœur ? Qu'il aille au diable, je trouverai quelqu'un de plus riche !" "Tous mes amis m'ont abandonnée ? Peu importe, je trouverai de meilleurs amis !" "Mes parents me renient ? C'est très bien, mon grand-père est plus riche et plus puissant qu'eux deux réunis !" A l'opposé de la sarcastique Zhao Lifei, se trouvait le très riche et puissant, mais impitoyablement froid, Yang Feng. Yang Feng, le Roi de l'Empire des Affaires, était un homme à craindre. Un cœur de glace, des yeux de pierre, impitoyable mais séduisant, il n'y avait pas une seule personne en ce monde qui osait l'offenser. Beaucoup ont essayé, mais aucun n'a réussi à attirer son attention. Du moins, jusqu'à ce que son chemin croise inopinément celui de Zhao Lifei. Des défis se présenteront, le chaos commencera, et le drame s'ensuivra. Mais après tout, qu'est-ce qu'une histoire d'amour sans perturbation ? Ils disent que l'amour sans conflit n'est qu'un simple béguin et l'histoire de Zhao Lifei et Yang Feng était bien plus que cela. - - - - - Statut du roman : Terminé.

*Roman historique fantastique à déroulement lent* Elise s'apprêtait à enfiler la robe qui était posée sur le coin de son lit lorsqu'elle entendit frapper à sa porte. Curieuse, elle tourna la poignée et se retrouva face à un grand homme qui la dominait. « Maître Ian ! » s'exclama-t-elle. Ian sourit avec le sourire espiègle habituel qu'il affichait toujours. Ses yeux cramoisis balayèrent brièvement sa chambre et s'arrêtèrent sur la robe noire posée sur son lit, puis se déplacèrent sur la femme qui se tenait devant lui. Il fit un pas en avant et demanda. « Où as-tu trouvé cette robe ? » « Monsieur Harland me l'a offerte », répondit Elise en tendant le cou pour voir les sourcils de Ian se froncer avec élégance. « Sais-tu pourquoi un homme aime offrir une robe à une femme ? » Il lui posa l'énigme à laquelle elle devait toujours réfléchir à deux fois avant de répondre. Mais cette fois, elle ne trouva pas de réponse et se contenta de secouer la tête. « Je ne sais pas. » Son sourire devint ensorcelant, comme si quelque chose s'était remué au plus profond des yeux écarlates qu'il avait. Il glissa lentement sa main sur le col de sa robe, envoyant un frisson glacial qui la surprit un instant à cause de sa température glacée. Après avoir défait les deux premiers boutons de son col, il inclina la tête vers le bas, murmurant à son oreille. « Parce qu'ils veulent être celui qui déshabille l'étoffe. » Il marqua une pause et embrassa son cou, faisant rougir la peau pâle avant de se rétracter pour fixer son regard sur elle et répondit avec nonchalance. « Malheureusement, tu ne peux pas porter la robe là-bas avec ça. » Il rit et tendit une boîte dans sa main. « Et la bonne nouvelle, c'est que je t'ai préparé une robe. » Elise était une petite fille maudite qui pouvait voir les fantômes. Sa famille la détestait et la rejetait d'une famille adoptive à l'autre. Cependant, le malheur n'agissait pas seul. Lorsqu'elle fut élevée par sa tante, elle fut vendue comme esclave. Lorsqu'elle crut qu'elle ne deviendrait rien d'autre qu'un sacrifice pour le sorcier, elle fut sauvée par un homme dont l'identité était bien différente de celle d'un être mythique normal. *** Ce livre est ORIGINAL et il ne s'agit pas d'une traduction Rejoignez le discord de l'auteur : https://discord.gg/YPKueb4

“Wow”, said Mina with her mouth open when she looked at a shiny thing in front of her. Then she realises it is a barrier. It was a very thin veil hiding something. She is mesmerized with what is front of her. She has a feeling that behind the veil there is something sinister taking place. Suddenly she realises she is underwater as it is blue everywhere and she can see shoals and schools of fish swimming around her. She also notes that she is unconsciously swimming towards the barrier, and she seems to experience a very strong pull from it, and she feels as if someone is calling out for help from the other side of the barrier and if she does not help that someone, they will experience a great catastrophe. Mina swims with all her might and she is swimming and swimming, but the barrier seems to be going farther and farther away. The feeling of a voice that was calling out for her is fading and the pull that she was experiencing till then is also fading. She hears a ‘Crack’ from behind the veil. The crack turns to a loud bang of explosion! Mina realises she is late and she did not save what she was supposed to save, feeling helpless she shouts on the top of her voice, “Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!” Mina then wakes up sweating and panting. “Ahhh… Not again!

Will figuring this out tell me where I come from or what my life purpose is? Rudra, please please help me figure this out and soon.” Mina has been having this recurring dream since she turned 13, four years ago. Mina, now 17, has had enough of this nightmare (that’s how she has been referring to this for a while now). She knows she is someone with a purpose as she possesses qualities that are unique and rare. She has to figure out who she is and what is to become of her soon. All the power within her is making it very difficult to keep these hidden from everyone around her. She does not want to hide it, but the lady in the beautiful gold and white gown with the long cape who always appears to her when she needs any advice, guidance or whenever she is at crossroads tells her she must live a normal life at least until she is 18 without displaying her powers to anybody not even to her best friend, Jia. This is Mina’s story. Who is she? Who is the lady in the gold and white gown with the long cape? What does her dream mean? Where does she end up?
