Diluc Lumine

I Was Her Cure, But Never Her Choice

...... In a future shimmering with scientific miracles, Dragan Reks stands as a brilliant prodigy. He isn’t driven by ambition or glory, but by something far more powerful: love. His entire world orbits around Aurelia, a luminous spirit burdened with a cruel fate. Born with sickle cell anemia, her life was a countdown of pain and fragile breaths. But to Dragan, she was worth everything worth risking it all. Defying every warning, he reached for an experimental breakthrough that could ruin him. He gambled his research, his reputation, even his sanity, just to save her. And he did. Her pain dissolved. Her glow returned. For a fleeting moment, their world felt perfect, as if love and science had conquered fate together. Then she left. She didn’t just leave the lab. She vanished from his life entirely, slipping away into someone else’s arms. No farewell. No explanation. Just an echoing emptiness where her laughter used to live. As months crawled by, Dragan tried to bury the ache in formulas and sterile white rooms. But grief doesn’t die quietly; it transforms, lurking in every quiet moment. Just as he began to forget the softness of her voice, Aurelia returned. She came back changed. Quieter. Still breathtaking. Still the center of the universe he had been trying to forget. But now she carried an invisible weight, her eyes shadowed with regret. She claimed she never stopped loving him. She said she made a mistake, that the other man meant nothing. But could Dragan trust her again? Could love survive the shattering blow of betrayal? Memories tangled with the present, flooding his heart with longing and rage. He was trapped in an impossible choice: she was alive because of him, yet he had lost her soul in the process. Now, faced with the woman he had saved and the scars she left behind, Dragan must decide. Should he open his heart once more and risk it breaking beyond repair, or finally close the door and walk away forever?

Tread Lightly on Thawing Ice

Title:섭우춘빙 (Seop Woo Chun Bing) Author: 밤꾀꼬리 Description: *Clang!* The mask split in half, revealing a face so extraordinary it seemed almost otherworldly. Skin as pale as if it would smudge with the slightest touch, a sharp and elegant nose, perfectly shaped lips. Every feature was as refined as if sculpted by a master artisan, untouched by the passage of time. Once jet-black like the night, the hair had turned as white as the snow-capped mountains of the northern lands. It was still beautiful, but a fragile, ethereal quality had been added, as if the figure might scatter and dissolve into the air at any moment. As the mask fell away, revealing eyes beneath fluttering, slow-blinking lashes, they shone like polished black onyx—noble and luminous. It was a visage so close to a work of art that it seemed a pity only Ye Kang-oh and the sun bore witness to it. However, in the presence of this breathtakingly handsome man, Ye Kang-oh’s expression began to crumble. There was no way he couldn’t recognize that face. Not because it was a beauty that could rival even Song-ok or Ban-ak, but because it belonged to someone who had once been Kang-oh’s protector. "Is it you?" Ye Kang-oh, the youngest disciple of the Black Sky Lord, stood before the man he had once revered and adored. Dan Woo-hyo, the Lord of White Virtue Palace, whom the martial world believed to be missing, was there. "Has it really been you all along?" ------------ I am NOT the author. I'm just translating this novel.

Light Of The Shadow | The Battle Of God |

Trong một thế giới mà bản chất được dệt nên từ vô vàn tầng lớp của những ràng buộc vô hình, nơi từng phân tử hiện hữu đều bị khắc ghi bởi định luật của sự trói buộc và mỗi linh hồn đều là con rối bị điều phối bởi chuỗi xích vô tận của nguyên lý. Và trong chính sự điên cuồng ấy, một phản nghịch đã nảy sinh...Từ phản nghịch đó, đứa con của tự do đã ra đời, không phải như một sinh vật, mà như một dị điểm của toàn thể. Lumine là một mầm mống không thuộc về trật tự, một tồn tại gào thét giữa vòm trời bất động, một biểu tượng sống của khước từ mọi gông cùm đã khai sinh ra khát vọng tuyệt đối, hủy diệt mọi ràng buộc. Không phải bằng thù hận, mà bằng chính cơn đói triệt để với tự do tuyệt đối, Lumine và kẻ song hành đã thách thức thực tại, một thực tại vốn là mê cung bất khả phản kháng được dựng nên bởi những kẻ mang danh Thần, những kẻ không tạo ra thế giới mà lại chiếm hữu nó bằng thứ quyền lực mượn danh ý chí. Thế nhưng, ngay khi bàn tay họ tưởng đã chạm đến thứ ánh sáng rực rỡ nơi cuối đường hầm, cái ánh sáng mà họ nghĩ là sự giải thoát thì chính vòm trời ấy sụp đổ, và thực tại cười khẩy bằng tiếng cười của vô số bánh răng vận mệnh gãy vụn. Họ không bị đánh bại bởi kẻ thù, mà bởi chính quy luật đã thối rữa của cái thế giới họ muốn phá tan, nơi mọi hành động dù nhỏ bé nhất cũng bị tính trước trong một ma trận tuyệt đối của hệ quả. Đắng cay thay, cái chân lý mà họ đuổi bắt, cái chân lý trần truồng, tinh khôi và thuần khiết nhất... tự do lại nằm ngay trước mắt họ, song bị che khuất bởi sự tồn tại của một điều không nên tồn tại...Và chính vì thế, sự tồn tại của hắn không thể được dung thứ. Không phải bởi vì đạo lý, mà bởi vì hắn là dấu chấm hết của mọi diễn ngôn. Kẻ đó không nên tồn tại. Không phải bởi vì hắn sai, mà bởi vì hắn là thứ thuần túy, một lỗ hổng mang hình người trong thân thể của một thế giới đang hấp hối vì chính những gì hắn cho phép tồn tại.

Celestial Chronicles: The Battle for Eternity

In the transcendent realm of Elarion, where the very fabric of existence is woven with light, creation unfolds as a divine ballet of cosmic wonder. At the dawn of time, the Supreme Light ignites the Divine Flame—a brilliant torrent of celestial energy that sculpts vast cities of silver and gold, luminous rivers that sing, and soaring spires that pierce endless skies. In this majestic tapestry, balance, beauty, and boundless hope are born. The Rise of the Divine Triumvirate From the radiant embers emerges Seraphael, the first angel, his presence a beacon of unwavering duty and solemn honor. Clad in armor that reflects the ancient wisdom of the cosmos, he listens intently as the Supreme Light bestows upon him the sacred charge of protecting Elarion. His stoic countenance and quiet resolve set the cornerstone of divine order—a mantle of justice that will guide the realm through trials yet unseen. In the playful dance of creation, Azriel makes his entrance. His eyes sparkle with mirth and insight, and his ease with humor contrasts with the weighty destiny shared by his peers. Azriel’s laughter rings through the celestial corridors—a gentle reminder that even in the most serious moments, a spark of levity can illuminate hidden truths. His subtle, wry observations hint at an innate understanding of fate’s capricious nature. Then there is Liora, whose spirit burns with the intensity of compassion. She is not merely a warrior but the beating heart of Elarion, destined to champion the cause of love and sacrifice. Adorned in ever-shifting hues of crimson and gold, Liora feels every triumph and every sorrow of the realm as if they were her own. Her passionate nature assures that the angels’ strength will always be tempered with empathy, binding them together in the face of encroaching darkness. The Seed of Rebellion Yet, amid this harmonious awakening, whispers of discontent echo at the fringes of light. Malakar, once a devoted angel, begins to question the unyielding decrees of the Supreme Light. His initial doubts snowball into a fierce defiance that resonates with others who crave the freedom to choose their own destinies. When Malakar and his followers elect to forsake Elarion’s warm embrace, they are cast into an abyss where divine radiance falters. There, twisted by betrayal and sorrow, they are reborn as demons—a stark counterpoint to the celestial purity they once embodied. The Looming War As the first omens of darkness stir, the celestial host is forced to confront not only an external threat but the inner turbulence of doubt and loss. Guided by a prophecy etched into the very essence of existence, Seraphael, Azriel, and Liora rally the forces of light. Their campaign transcends a mere clash of might—it becomes an epic odyssey to reclaim the sanctity of creation and to reconcile the shattered echoes of what they once knew. Battles rage across the luminous plains of Elarion and beyond, where the armies of angels must grapple with their own frailties and the haunting allure of the fallen. As each confrontation unfolds, the heroes discover that the true conflict lies not just in defeating the demons, but in harmonizing the myriad facets of their being—honor, humor, and heart. The Final Confrontation In the ultimate crescendo, the celestial and the abyssal collide in a battle that sears the heavens and stirs the soul. Against the backdrop of a cosmos in turmoil, the combined spirit of the angels—fortified by their diverse strengths and deep, emotional bonds—rises to reclaim their destiny. Victory is not handed down by fate, but forged through sacrifice, unity, and the resilient affirmation that even in darkness, the light of compassion endures.

To Leo’s horror, the science project he vividly recalls working on with Lumin is now listed under the name of Riku Lancaster, a lazy upperclassman with whom he supposedly collaborated. Caught in a whirlpool of confusion and disbelief, Leo must confront the unsettling truth: Were all his memories of Lumin just a figment of his imagination? Or is there something far more supernatural and terrifying at play?

Shadow Flame: Path of the forsaken Phoenix

Path of the Forsaken Phoenix In a world where power is birthright, etched into the very skin as a Spirit Root, Kael Ardyn is born a blank slate – "spiritless," an omen of misfortune under a cursed blood moon. Cast out by his noble clan and marked by scorn from his earliest memories, his childhood is a testament to quiet endurance in the face of relentless cruelty. His only solace comes from the secret, forbidden teachings of his mother, whispers of a world and powers beyond the rigid doctrines of their kin. At thirteen, after a brutal betrayal by his own father leaves him for dead, Kael's desolate existence is shattered by an agonizing awakening. A terrifying, ancient power ignites within him: the Shadowflame, a volatile, forbidden energy that feels both intrinsically his and dangerously alien. Simultaneously, a mysterious, disembodied System designates him "Host," activating the "Path of the Forsaken Phoenix" and issuing a cryptic directive: Awaken Your First Sigil. His first, "Echoes of Scorn," is born directly from his accumulated trauma, transforming his pain into a chilling, defensive spiritual force. Thrust alone into the perilous Outer Territories, Kael begins a desperate journey of survival and discovery. Guided by the enigmatic System and haunted by his past, he navigates a hostile world teeming with savage spirit beasts and treacherous landscapes. His path leads him deep into a forgotten subterranean underworld, a realm of ancient mysteries and deadly trials. Within the awe-inspiring Heart-Crystal Cavern, he glimpses unsettling visions of a forgotten past – obsidian cities under crimson skies and regal beings of shadow – hinting at a lineage far stranger and more significant than he could ever imagine. He endures the soul-crushing "Trial of the Deep," navigates the deceptive, mind-bending Luminous Labyrinth, and confronts the terrifying, soul-corrupting void of the Entropic Hall. Each ordeal pushes him to the brink, yet each also forges him anew. At the heart of the Labyrinth, Kael undergoes the agonizing "Crucible of Embers," forcing his volatile Shadowflame to integrate with his very being and successfully activating his first true cultivation stage: Ember Vein (Initial – Shadow-Forged). This hard-won power is "non-standard," his connection to the Shadowflame both a potent weapon and a dangerous anomaly, its unique properties promising unforeseen challenges. Emerging onto the surface world after a grueling ascent, Kael finds not salvation, but a vast, ancient forest teeming with new dangers. His first encounters are brutal, forcing him to fight for every breath, every meager resource, his new powers tested immediately against the raw ferocity of nature and its spirit beasts. Injured and alone, he must learn to manage his minimal Soulfire, understand the strange whispers of his Shadow-Forged core, and utilize the System's guidance to stabilize his foundation and slowly, painstakingly, grow stronger. Kael's journey is more than a quest for power; it's a desperate search for identity, for the truth behind his spiritless birth, the origin of the Shadowflame, and the meaning of the System guiding his forsaken path. Looming beyond his immediate struggles is the greater, cosmic threat of Entropy and its zealous worshippers, the Veiled Eternum, forces that seek to unravel the very fabric of existence. "Shadowflame: Path of the Forsaken Phoenix" is an epic Eastern Fantasy of cultivation, resilience, and the search for purpose in a world determined to erase you, where the deepest scars can forge the most formidable strength, and a single, forsaken spark might just be enough to ignite a new dawn or be consumed by an all-devouring darkness.
