Novel: Fortune Killer by Kie

My next project 🎉 ~~Update coming soon.~~ Update has started finally!!! Expand the accordion to see the details kayyy.

Alt. Title: Fortune Killer

Lain Jang is a lawyer, specifically a divorce lawyer. He has a 'specialty' where his 'luck' can bring him 'disaster.' Principle of zero-sum is ruthlessly applied here regarding his 'luck'. Hence, he always dreaded money/fortune that doesn't come from his hard work.

The biggest changes in his life started when he was fired from his law firm after his client, Edward Clark proposes to him with a diamond ring. After a 'fateful' accident, Lain Jang ended up being a 'lawyer' to Edan Blake, the currently most popular celebrity internationally. Edan is crowned as the most perfect male specimen alive. But what will our cutie Lain Jang do when he realises that things are not what it seems to be but somehow he's unable to steer away from Edan Blake? Added with his 'normal' life (+ chastity) on the line? And let's not forget about Edward Clark either.

Again, I'll be relying on MTL so I don't have to type everything. My Korean is there but not quite yet. I always double-checked the translation to make sure nothing is misunderstandable. If you've read Black Butterfly (BBDW), my previously translated novel, then you should be familiar with how I do things here.

This novel is honestly easier to translate and the story is not as complicated as BBDW except that each chapter is actually 4 or 5 times longer than how I used to update a chapter of BBDW. But I hate to split the chapter into parts so I'll just update the chapter as it is.

Fyi, this novel is also hard to find. People are only passing the 2nd hand or 3rd hand or n hand books now I'm actually speechless why is this novel so hard to possess. Well, it's pretty old actually. And that's one of the reasons I dare to translate this. And if you can support the author then please do so.

I picked up this novel and chose to translate from the beginning instead of continuing from where the previous translator left off simply because I want to keep some terms consistent and maybe makes the story smoother to read. Maybe. I decided on this novel mainly because the story is funny despite how much I want to punch ML every time but I also want to pat his head at times. You'll be having a love-hate relationship with the ML like me too I bet. And MC is just plain adorkable I want to give him everything he deserves. He's like my nonexistent baby that I gave birth to.

Anyway, let's not scrutinize the plot too much and just read it as it is. This novel is supposed to be a fun read. You'll smile and laugh a lot throughout this novel I assure you. My advice is, read the update before you go to sleep. This is a cute bedtime story for adult wannabees. You'll wake up the next day feeling less stressed. Just, promise me that you won't treat this novel as a f*p material. That's all cuties.

I will NEVER allow any RE-TRANSLATIONS into any language from MY version. Please refer to the ORIGINAL novel. I don't want any injustice done to the interpretation of the story. If you're still asking for this sometime later then I'll consider you illiterate.

NO parties are allowed to COPY and PASTE or RE-POST my translations for whatever reasons especially on Wattpad or any reading platform. Aggregator websites included. And despite how dumb my website sounds, read my translations ONLY on my website Nevereverland, accessible at ladydiaryonstrike.blogspot.com. The stuff you read on this website should be our little secret okay.

Those rules have always been applied since this website was established and I figured you guys are just too lazy to read the Privacy Policy and Terms of this website.

♥️ idk yet abt the schedule but i'm planning for a week-ly/ fortnight-ly update or somewhere in between since I won't be splitting the 10k long chapter. Yes, each chapter is 10k long on average (30 pages +-). It's like getting 4 or 5 updates at a time if we go by my previous update rules. The chapter can even go as long as 17k, like 50 pages in Word. Despite everything I've said, update will probably be random hshshshshh. Anyway, just chill and wait. ♥️

BBDW 80 [END] [Black Butterfly] - Nevereverland

By noname but i'm cute

Prev Chap Next Book Epilogue (UNEDITED) The weather was warm enough to be a little hot. Now the old woman, with light-grey strands began to mix in her hair, stopped her hands as she was pruning the garden and straightened her back for a while. Perhaps because of her age, her body, which used to be unaffected even after spending hours in the garden, was creaking strangely these days. After a few pats on the waist, she suddenly looked back on the quiet side of the road. It’s the suburb of Chicago and a man was walking carelessly on the road with few people coming and going. Dark blond hair and green eyes, he had only one small backpack on his shoulder. The old woman tilted her head. It was very rare for an outsider to enter this town. Glancing around and looking all over the place, he soon found the old woman and shouted and asked. "Well, which way do I have to go to get out of this...

BBDW 1 [Black Butterfly] - Nevereverland

By noname but i'm cute

Next Chap 》 Section 1 (UNEDITED) Psychopath. Most serial killers fall under this category, and most of them carry out bizarre crimes for sexual pleasure or satisfaction. Because they cannot empathize with other people’s feelings, they inflict terrible pain upon others, but they don't feel any sympathy or compassion for that. They in fact enjoy it and even feel positive emotions in the act itself. What distinguishes them from ordinary criminals is that they have nothing rationally abnormal, and their problems are limited to ethical things. It can also be considered as a ‘morally-disabled-person’, and psychopath does not equate to low intelligence, rather, they have average or sub-intelligence. In reality, a serial killer with great intelligence, such as Hannibal Lecter, rarely exists. Typical psychopaths include Jack the Ripper of England and Ted Bundy of the United States, who liked to describe their crimes in detail with a sparse moral sense. But one thi...

BBDW 2 [Black Butterfly] - Nevereverland

By noname but i'm cute

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 2 (UNEDITED) “Oh, I give up. I can’t. That guy, he doesn’t want to say anything in the first place.” “But he says he's only going to talk to you.” White shirt and black suit pants. Looking at the tall, well-defined man with a weary look as he make coffee with a coffee pot in the corner of the prison, he soon asked his partner with a worried face. “Did he threaten you or something? Like he’ll get his friends out there and get revenge.” “Oh? No, he didn’t say that. Oh, I actually received a confession.” “……What?” Tim, who looked at Jude's green eyes for a moment, asked back in a dazed voice. Jude, who was tilting his coffee cup –“Oh, hot!”– answered dryly, blowing his coffee enthusiastically. “He likes me. He says I'm similar to him.” “He... Did he say that?” “What, what’s with your face? You don’t think I would have accepted that confession, do you? Tim. You know I only have you.” While touching his chin with a ...

BBDW 22 [Black Butterfly] - Nevereverland

By noname but i'm cute

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 22.1 (UNEDITED) The static, hazy fluorescent light flickered once again. On this rainy night, the lights are likely to go out, accompanied by the sound of the wind outside the window, and the pleasant experience of a serial killer in the ear. If it’s a TV program, he would enjoy it with a glass of draft beer. With a small grumble, Jude leaned over the sofa and stretched his legs. The sound of rain blocked by the window hit the ear noisily. “Why?” [That would be better said later. Or the tension will lessen.] “Oh, you should be the movie director. So, what did you film at the beginning, director?” [The point here is, they weren’t closely related. Well, considering the grandfather’s big fortune, it wouldn’t have been too much. They were a little bit awkward since they don’t see each other much, and they were good at picking things up along the way. On the surface, they weren’t that bad, they were just polite people. When they m...

BBDW 29 [Black Butterfly] - Nevereverland

By noname but i'm cute

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 25 (UNEDITED) The air in the school, which was supposed to be filled with the children's frenzied vigour, was heavy and damp. With detectives in and out, scene of the deceased victims marked with white chalk on the backyard and rooftop--except for the drowned child in the pool--even an elementary school had no choice but to lose its vitality. Even during the break, the children did not run around with vigorous activity and they stumbled around to avoid the detectives. He looked at the playground, where the children were spacing out, then Jude opened his mouth with a slight murmur. "......you go. I'm below zero in my ability to communicate with kids." "Why, they're cute, aren’t they? It's a twinkle in the eye." "Is that cute? I'm scared.....forget it, I'll just take notes on the side. Now, what class did you say?" The first child to be found and asked was an 11-year-old gir...

BBDW 76 [Black Butterfly] - Nevereverland

By noname but i'm cute

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 89, 90 & 91.1 (UNEDITED) It seemed like a long time has passed. Jude didn't budge, like how he was lying on the bathroom floor yesterday. He was sure he felt a little muddled, but he didn't want to fall to the floor and sob. Jude was just tired and exhausted, with a deep sense of loss. Jude, wrapped in the shape of a larva curled up in a cocoon, dozed off for a moment and fell asleep. The sunlight outside the window swirled around like water. When he opened his eyes again, the air that brushed his neck was quite spine-chilling. Before he knew it, a mouse approached Jude's side and tried to poke his immobile body, but fled to the hole on the other side. Jude’s body cringed as the cell phone cried in his pocket. Jude opened the flip phone reflexively and answered. "Yes." [It's me.] "Why?" [I found out the name of the orphanage where Hender Hill went in and called them. The...
