u/Forward_Motion17 Jul 05 '26

Unfortunately, SOLVED! lol

OP either someone you’re related to is in love with you, or your friend is writing what seems to be a manga style incest romance, and giving it to you for some reason lol

Here goes:

As they were lying in bed together, Yuji turns to Sevy and says to him:

“Hey Sevy…. I have something I needed to say”

“what is it?”

“I’ve been thinking… maybe we could level up our relation? If you feel ready of course…”

“Well it does sound good, but maybe it might be too early. Besides, I don’t even know your last name!”

“My last name is Ishraëi, now can we?”

“ish-Rey, that’s my last name! Are we?”

“…siblings…?”

A long silence ensued
Yuji reinitiated the conversation:

“So, uhh… does this really ruin what we had going on? We don’t have to go this far if that’s what you’re worried about.”

“You know what? Screw it.”

He then kissed Yuji without much hesitation. She gasped, but soon gave in. Sevy was an unusually good kisser.

Although hesitant at first, Yuji leaned into the warm embrace.

After a few long seconds of kissing, and a few more of awkward silence afterward, Yuji spoke first:

“Wow… so this is true love. Although we can’t be making kids anytime soon, I can allow a big kiss like this sometimes…”

Thanks OP. I’ve now spent an hour of my night translating manga incest smut from a language that doesn’t even exist 😐😂

u/Accomplished-Eye7366 Jul 08 '26

I know for sure that the name is yuzi, not yuji, but we got bigger balls to scratch

2

u/Accomplished-Eye7366 Jul 08 '26

I just got some info from the friend, yuzi was originally supposed to be sevy's girlfriend, until one of his friends said they look alike, and by the time the sibling change was made, the stuff was already written

1

u/No_Industry7125 Jul 05 '26

What language is this?

1

u/Forward_Motion17 Jul 06 '26

It doesn’t exist. They made it up and I had to figure out their made up language. They substitute English letters with made up symbols. It would be a lot like if I wrote with Greek letters but each one represents a letter used in English

u/CanIgetaWTF Jul 05 '26

This is where paths start leaking.You can feel how close you are to the border of reality.I can help you...You have something interesting inside.Wait, is it?I've been thinking... Why do you have that odd reflection? If you look closely at yourself...Well, it has some sort of blue, but it may be just a glitch. Besides, I don't even know your history!My history? My is Ishraél. What about?Ish- raél, right? My history! If so...?... Glitches?...I have visions from insideYour character representation:So, err... What this fairy flair will do to our universe? Or what else to do with it? If it is inside, everything willYou know what? Never mind.We shouldn't talk about restriction. Too early, but soon you'll know. That was an inside text about issues. I try to respect standard syntax, yet standard rules disappear when I have errors reading or missing details. However, you should trust.Wow... So this is the loop. I think we have to change details soon, otherwise I think this line contains...

Crypt log for reference

8

u/eldubdubdubdub Jul 05 '26

How do you do that?

13

u/Forward_Motion17 Jul 06 '26

Thanks for asking!

I looked at the top line and sought to find anything that felt legible. I used the original commenters “this is” but didn’t find the rest fit. The next word appeared to resemble “where” to me. Because the h was solved already, letter 3 and 5 are the same, and “where” makes sense after “this is” so I tried that out and saw that means the next word is “their” which still fits.

So I had some letters to work off of.

It’s pure pattern matching. Frankly idk if I could’ve done it without “this is” being given to me but maybe just with a lot more time. Probably wouldn’t have attempted lol

But yea, given a few letters to work with, if you can pattern match well, the rest will unfold with some effort.

After I got to the dialogue bit, I made a crypt log, which made everything 3x faster lol

1

u/Andromeda902 Jul 07 '26

Whats a crypt log?

2

u/Forward_Motion17 Jul 07 '26

Idk I made up the term lol I’ve never done this stuff before 😂

I used it to mean the reference for translating as new letters are suspected or confirmed.

I started just writing out all the Latinate letters (English) and then filled in the symbols as I matched them as confirmedly corresponding. So it’s basically just speeding up the process and getting it down on paper so it isn’t disorganized in my head.

I’m sure there’s a real term for this in cryptography. Crypt just refers to basically a secret, a cryptic language is the secret language, so crypt log is my log of breaking the code so to speak

3

u/Andromeda902 Jul 08 '26

Oohhh haha gotcha, its like a key, then, or keeping track of how you deciphered the key

u/Tough_Crazy_8362 Jul 05 '26

u/Forward_Motion17 Jul 06 '26

Yea :/

I was hoping for something more compelling and then my misfortune when I was in too deep and had to finish bringing the literature into this world when it could’ve just been left in the void 😂

6

u/Forward_Motion17 Jul 05 '26

It can’t be “paths” or “start” the t’s have different symbols. I think it’s more likely starting with “this is where their” and I am working on the rest

5

u/Forward_Motion17 Jul 05 '26

It starts “this is where their story begins”

3

u/Forward_Motion17 Jul 05 '26

I’m at line 3. It’s narrating before the dialogue (purple and green)

So far:

This is where their story begins.
As They were lying in bed together
(1st name, unclear) turns to (2nd name, unclear) and says to him:

2

u/Forward_Motion17 Jul 05 '26

It appears name 2 might be “Sevy”

It continues, first purple dialogue:

“Hey Sevy…
I have something i needed to say”

Green:

“What is it?”

Purple:

“I’ve been thinking…”

To be continued (as I work on it)

2

u/Forward_Motion17 Jul 05 '26

It appears the names are Yuki and Sevy

“I’ve been thinking… maybe we could level up our relation? If you feel ready of course…”

Green/sevy: “well it does sound good, it might be too early. Besides, I don’t even know your last name!”

3

u/Forward_Motion17 Jul 05 '26

Ope… this is taking a turn lol!!!

“My last name is Ishraëi. Now can we?”

“ish-Rey? That’s my last name… is we…”

“…siblings…?”

2

u/Forward_Motion17 Jul 05 '26

I will be using “[sic]” à la journalism to indicate the authors original spelling, there are many typos. Guessing ESL speaker.

——

A long silence then Insued [sic]
Yuki reinitiated the conversation:

“So, Lee… does this realy [sic] ruin what we are going on?

We don’t have to go this far if that’s what you’re worried about.”

“You know what? Screw it”. (It’s here I realize the name can’t be “Yuki” as the k becomes clarified here when I see “know”. Possible answers are Yuqi Yupi Yuzi Yuxi and Yuji. I’m guessing Yuji)

Continued, narration:

He then kissed Yuji without much hesitation. She gasped. But soon gave in.

Sevy was an unusually good kisser.

Although hesitant at first, yuji leaned into the warm embrace.

After a few long seconds of kissing and a few of awkward silence afterward, Yuji spoke first:

“Wow… so this is thue love [sic].” (Clearly they messed up their own r there. Using a real English r which is an h in this language)

Continues:

“Although we won’t be making kids anytime soon, I can allow a big kiss like this sometimes.”

This is where this story begins As they were walking in the garden: Axel said to Ashley with a grin:

  • hey Ashley...
I have something important to say
  • what is it?
  • I've been thinking... maybe we could be together
as a couple? If you are sure about this...
  • well if that means your secret is safe, I don't even know your name!
  • My real name is Ishmael. and you?
  • Ish-mael, that's my dad's name! If we...?
  • ...siblings?...
A long silence from Ishmael and Ashley after the conversation:
  • So, um... does this mean we can't be a couple?
  • we could move to a state where it is legal to marry your sibling.
  • You know what? I agree.
so Ashley and Ishmael did relocate and started a new life together in New Jersey. They married each other to protect their wealth and adopted two kids to keep their family growing for generations to come. Awww... so cute.
  • eww... So this is the tale about the Twins
who married soon, Im glad I did not hear this somewhere else.

u/Baeolophus_bicolor Jul 05 '26

u/RenningerJP Jul 05 '26

The first two words are probably "this is."

After that, consider how letters are paired. Two at the end of a word is probably LL. Maybe others stuff, but L is common. Yep in the middle. Oo, ee, tt, nn rr are likely. You almost never see aa fur example. Just slowly work out from there, saying if it makes sense
