Faded Then A Hoe

For centuries, the noble House Concordia, humanity’s torchbearers, guided the world through its darkest days. Their sacrifices drove back the malevolent force known only as the darkness, banishing it from the material world in the cataclysmic Battle of Scarlet Rivers. But victory came at an immense cost: the death of their revered leader, the Sword Saint, and the fracturing of humanity’s unity. In the centuries that followed, greed and hubris consumed the fractured factions of mankind, leaving the Concordia family shunned and their warnings ignored. Now, in the year 677, the darkness stirs once more, its hunger for chaos and despair reignited by humanity's corruption. As cracks tear through reality, unleashing hordes of demons upon the great city of Emberfall, the darkness manifests in a terrible, humanoid form—arrogant, cruel, and unstoppable. The nobles of the Kaizen Empire, consumed by their own self-interest, panic in the face of their reckoning, while the common people fall victim to unthinkable horrors. At the center of this unfolding apocalypse stands Eryndor of Concordia, the young head of his house. Dismissed as naïve for clinging to ancient prophecies, he has spent years pleading with humanity to unite against the darkness. Now, with the return of his family’s ancient enemy, Eryndor must rise to his legacy and rally what remains of humanity before it’s too late. But to fulfill his family’s oath, Eryndor must face impossible odds, forge alliances with those who once betrayed his house, and confront the truth of what it means to sacrifice for the light. As the forces of darkness spread across the land, "The Light Will Never Fade" is a story of shattered hope, enduring legacies, and the power of selflessness in the face of despair. Will Eryndor and those who stand with him rekindle humanity’s flame, or will the darkness extinguish the light forever?

Au bord de la Rivière Xishui, vivait une famille du nom de Ruo, dont la chance était si désastreusement mauvaise qu'il semblait que la malchance était possédée par leurs propres âmes. Quand les autres familles récoltaient abondamment, la Famille Ruo ne récoltait pas un seul grain. Leurs légumes plantés étaient dévorés par les insectes, leurs poulets attrapaient la peste aviaire, leurs porcs attrapaient la fièvre porcine... Malgré une maison pleine d'hommes forts, ils étaient soit fous, soit estropiés, soit aveugles... Ce qui aurait dû être une famille prometteuse était devenue la plus pauvre dans un rayon de dix milles. La seule chose que les autres enviaient à la Famille Ruo, c'était ses membres mâles prospères ! La vieille dame de la Famille Ruo avait donné naissance à six fils, qui lui avaient ensuite donné quatre petits-fils. Elle rêvait jour et nuit d'avoir une petite-fille. Lorsqu'elle eut enfin un petit-enfant, à son désarroi, l'enfant était mentalement handicapé : à plus de trois ans, elle ne pouvait ni parler ni marcher, ne pouvait même pas manger ou se soulager sans aide. Tout le monde pensait que la Famille Ruo ne renverserait jamais la vapeur de leur destin dans cette vie ! Jusqu'au jour où l'enfant mentalement handicapé de trois ans et demi s'écria soudainement, "Maman..." Les cieux commençaient à changer. Le monde commençait à revêtir un air mystérieux. Dans la cour de la Famille Ruo, les kakis mûrissaient du jour au lendemain. Les légumes dans les champs, presque grignotés jusqu'à la tige par les insectes, devenaient luxuriants et verts. La vieille poule qui n'avait jamais pondu se mit soudain à pondre... Tandis que les autres faisaient face à la famine, le grenier de la Famille Ruo était plein. Le fils aîné n'était plus fou, le deuxième fils n'était plus estropié, le troisième fils n'était plus aveugle... La vieille dame de la Famille Ruo, les mains sur les hanches, riait à gorge déployée vers le ciel, "Qui dit que ma Xuanbao est simple d'esprit ? Elle est clairement un trésor de bénédictions !" (Ceci est un roman de terroir avec une touche de charme féerique, où la protagoniste féminine de sa vie antérieure était un lis du jour qui s'éveillait à peine et qui s'est réincarnée en humaine.)

By Xishui River, there lived a family with the surname Ruo, whose luck was so disastrously poor that it was as if misfortune was possessed by their very souls. When other families had bountiful harvests, the Ruo Family harvested not a single grain. Their planted vegetables were devoured by insects, their chickens got chicken plague, their pigs got swine fever… Despite the household being full of strong men, they were either mad, crippled, or blind… What would have been a family of great prospects became the poorest within ten miles. The only thing that others envied about the Ruo Family was its thriving male members! The old lady of the Ruo Family had given birth to six sons, who then gave her four grandsons. She dreamt day and night of having a granddaughter. When she finally got a grandchild, to her dismay, the child was mentally disabled: at over three years old, she still couldn’t speak or walk, couldn’t even eat or relieve herself without help. Everyone thought the Ruo Family would never turn their fortunes around in this lifetime! That was until the half-old three-year-old mentally disabled child suddenly called out, “Mom…” The heavens began to change. The world began to turn mysterious. In the Ruo Family’s courtyard, the persimmons ripened overnight. The vegetables in the fields, nearly nibbled bare by insects, turned lush and green.

She’s clearly a treasure of blessings!” (This is a farming novel with a hint of fairy charm, where the female protagonist in a previous life was a just-awakened daylily that has reincarnated as a human.)

Now, hear me out and hear me well: my name is Barogey. I was born into a humble merchant family, and yes, I’m the guy you read about at the start—the one dying. No, I wasn’t reincarnated, and honestly, if I had been, I’d rather not have been. I’m a larger man... okay, let’s not sugarcoat it—I’m kinda chubby. Blame my parents for spoiling me rotten as a kid. I had a younger brother, Louis, who I used to bully, but, uh... I killed him. Long story. Before all that drama, I was a Doctor of Magical Engineering. Then came the prison stint—because, you know, the usual evil villain schtick: kidnapping a princess, taunting her friends, and trying to force a wedding. Before that little escapade, I lived in the human kingdom of Magder. Anyway, now I’m fresh out of prison, shipped off to Tabnoth. Apparently, Vistor thinks throwing all the world’s rejects into one place is a genius plan. But hey, I’m not complaining. As long as this place has a good deli, I’m set.

“Listen for the buzz of the Golden Honeybee’s wings, Where it will guide you to a lonely mountain creek, Follow the path abandoned by the hearts of kings, And be sure not to make a single peep.
