sry could only find image of the manwa

Once... Humans and Orcs peacefully co-existed, but at some point humans got greedy and started a war claiming the Orcs' territory. The diety-Lord who created all, got angry with the humans' greed and decided to punish them with 3 catastrophes. One of them was the "Dragons", divine creatures blessed with magic capable of doing almost anything. Now the Orcs, with a "Dragon" by their side, seem to have the upper hand. Will humans just sit back and see their land get destroyed? They are too devious for that... Their only good plan at that point is to abduct a "Dragon" to even things up. But how are they going to manage the capture of a being with so much power?

original language is Korean and from what i have been able to find there are 3 series of these books. series one contains 15, series 2 contains 6, series 3 is ongoing and has 5 so far.

haha, there's like no Korean-to-English translator here that can work on this project unless you can find one. You'll just have to make use of the volume summaries that easy going scans are making since the manhwa is forced to stop because the company went under. This is what I'm content with right now, since I don't see this project being picked up anything soon as far as I know....

You can read this novel on Dencake's site. He just finished the translation for the Volume 1 Prologue.

Uhm, it is a Manhwa? If it is like that you're entirely wrong here... - Baka-Tsuki is only known for its LN translations...

Dark Mage is originally a Korean light novel, and there's a manhwa adaptation based on the novel.

Dang, someone has to translate this!

It has such an awesome world setting, an awesome main character and an amazing story overall! The manhwa was just the tip of the iceberg and going from the little summaries there are it gets even BETTER!

I don't know why no translator volunteers :( Is it perhaps a hard novel to translate?

well maybe it is harder than before since mostly translators here are Japanese -> English and Chinese -> English factions. Someone might start up this one, who knows.
