STORY AND ILLUSTRATIONS NUMBER 02:
A New World
“Visas”, a man that had his ’emotions’ stolen by someone. As he embarks on his distant journey across planets, sometimes fighting and sometimes cooperating with their varied dwellers, he approaches the truth of this world. What exactly awaits for him in his final destination?
TL note: Both the chapter title above and the title of the prologue below use “新世壊”, which is the JP name of the card Clear New World, but instead of having the furigana of “New Clear World” like the card does, it’s using “shinsekai” instead (new world(s)).
Prologue
A New World
Chapter 1
Primitive Planet Reichphobia
End of Page 1
TL notes:
1) “With the passage of time” in the prologue is a reference to Visas Starfrost. “Visas” is Lithuanian for “all”. If we take that as “幾” (iku/several, many), and we also convert “Star” and “Frost” to kanji (星 and 霜), we get 幾星霜 (ikuseisou), which is the expression used here for “(the passage of) many months and years”.
2) The “self” that Reichheart had obtained is written as “fear” and force-read as “self”.
Chapter 2
Primeval Planet Perlereino
End of Page 2
TL note: The ‘tears’ that Reinoheart is seeking are written as “pearls”, force-read as “tears”.
Chapter 3
Pressured Planet Wraitsoth
End of Page 3
Chapter 4
Peaceful Planet Calarium
End of Chapter.
TL note: “Shangri-La” is actually written as 桃源郷 (tougenkyou), the title of the fable “The Peach Blossom Spring“, which talks about a fictional utopia, but can also refer to a general paradise on Earth or a Shangri-La. “Shangri-La” sounds more on-theme, so that’s what we’re going with.
