well that was a very interesting 1st chapter

Got reminded of Buchimaru Chaos.

 

[Syapaaye]

Aww that's nice. I somehow got Satoshi Mizukami vibes from this.

 

[edamame]

hmmm nice, following this

 

[Jkoplo]

Very interesting premise

 

[Weoooo]

I'm very interested in this.

I think "human child" is supposed to be "son of man"? It's pretty common for divine entities to use it.

@asdasdgfrw
I thought of using that, except he's talking to a girl. I guess "son of man" does refer to not just dudes, but it felt kinda weird using it. I figured I might as well use "human child" if I'm gonna change that to "child of man".

 

[asdasdgfrw]

@GreyArea
Isn't it used as "human" regardless of gender? I've seen "child of man" used as translation a lot though.

 

[GreyArea]

@asdasdgfrw
It is, or so I think, at least. It's just that it feels odd to me and it makes me think of Jesus. I think I'll juggle between "human child" and "child of man" from now on whenever 人の仔 pops up again.

Miyo, an orphan girl, lived in fear of death as the designated sacrifice

I got baited by the description, but this "fear" thing is just not there. The girl is happy and resigned to her fate. Maybe it's just an outward appearance, but one page of tears is not enough to convince me.
This whole chapter is more like "how to become a disciple of a weird man and go on a sightseeing trip".

god is d*ck

 

[CraniumAmbiguity]

@vodkavodka More like "How to evade being a village sacrifice via time shenanigans, and go on an adventure."

 

[leduo95]

@asdasdgfrw "child of man" sounds weird, it would fit as a title/label, or the way of talking for Western gods more though (like "son of Odin" for example).
@GreyArea please continue to use "human child", I see no problem with that in the context.

 

[bosbarret]

Love this. They are beating up gods

 

[botodopo]

time paradox in the first chapter

 

[Konrad2]

Thanks for the translation.

 

[Monky]

What a gem
I have high hopes for this

 

[taskalasky]

wow this is an amazing first chapter

 

[alacaelum]

THIS IS AWESOME.

For some reason when the future Miyo said how she was from that region at the beginning i had a stray thought of how it would be interesting if it had time travel, imagine my surprise when it was exactly that.

This was an amazing first chapter.
