User blog:GoDai/GoDai: FUG Slayers - Translations of SIU's Info on the Official Fan Cafe

Sup
I became a Regular-rank member on the Fan Cafe! (Not much of an achievement, since it only requires 3 comments.) Now I can see these damn things, since SIU has decided to post them there rather than his own secret blog due to his predicament involving reaching maximum number of neighbours but at the same time not wanting to spoil it for everyone.

As SIU uploads info on his Slayers on the Official Fan Cafe, I'll be translating them here.

It's about time I did things first here, right?

FUG Slayer – 7. Baylord Yama
Sitting on the Seventh Seat of Power is Baylord Yama (베이로드 야마, Bae’ee’rohdeu Yahmah), also known as the King of Bayroad.

(GoDai: SIU seems to be utilizing the fact that “lord” and “road” are both read as “로드 ” in Korean pronunciation.)

Bayroad (베이로드, Bae’ee’rohdeu) is the name of a secretive ‘pit’ (투견장 , too’gyeonjahng, or “Dogfight Arena”) said to be hidden somewhere in the Tower. However, that does not mean actual dogs are pitted against each other in this pit; ‘special fighters’ are the ones fighting, and they are collectively referred to as ‘Pitbulls.’ (투견, Too’gyeon, or “Fighting Dogs”)

A characteristic of Bayroad is the long and straight appearance of its arena. Pitbulls run out onto the arena from both sides and fight until one drops dead. It is said that even if one tries to escape, a terrible bed of blades waits at the end. Because the shape of this arena resembles a road, it was named Bayroad, ‘the road where pitbulls bark.’

The process through which these ‘Pitbulls’ are ‘created’ is very interesting. They are born through ‘Blood Fusion’ (피 결합, Pi Gyeolhap, or “Blood Union,” “Blood Combination,” “Blood Bonding,” etc.) which is forbidden in the Tower. Blood Fusion is the process in which a specific ‘something’ from a Family possessing great power is mixed into a baby in its embryonic or fetal stages to grant it said power.

<p class="MsoNormal">(GoDai: “Embryo” and “fetus” are both “<span lang="KO" style="font-family:"맑은고딕";mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:"맑은고딕";mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin">태아 ” in Korean, so I’m not sure which SIU is referring to. For now, both will be referred to in this translation.)

<p class="MsoNormal">(There are not many who know how to carry out Blood Fusion, and because its practice is absolutely forbidden in the Tower, even those who do know it have mostly been murdered or have gone missing.)

<p class="MsoNormal">Children who manage the very small probability of surviving Blood Fusion (Most embryos and fetuses cannot endure the side effects and die) are raised to become tools of entertainment to entertain those who come to the pit, and so these children grow to fight as Pitbulls.

<p class="MsoNormal">Baylord Yama was one such Pitbull, and it is told that he was the strongest Pitbull of all time.

<p class="MsoNormal">In the pit, he was a god of death (사신, 死神, sahshin) who drove opponents to doom, and people came to nickname him ‘Yama, the Lord of the Dead’ (<span lang="KO" style="font-family:"맑은고딕";mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:"맑은고딕"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">야마, <span lang="KO" style="font-family:"맑은고딕";mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:"맑은고딕"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">죽은자들의 <span lang="KO" style="font-family: "맑은고딕";mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"맑은고딕";mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin">왕 , Yahmah, Joog’eunjahdeul’eui Wahng, or “King of the Dead”) out of respect for him.

<p class="MsoNormal">Later, he killed his own keeper (<span lang="KO" style="font-family:"맑은고딕";mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:"맑은고딕";mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin">사육사, sah’yooksah, or “breeder,” “master”), successfully became the only Pitbull to ever escape from Bayroad, and climbed the Tower. Although no exact details are known regarding this procedure, it is rumoured that Imorte (<span lang="KO" style="font-family:"맑은고딕";mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:"맑은고딕";mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin">이모르트, Eemohreuteu, or “Immorte,” etc.), another Slayer of FUG, was involved.

<p class="MsoNormal">After becoming a Ranker, Yama returned to Bayroad with FUG’s power on his back and killed the previous owner of the pit. Hence, he simultaneously became the King of the Pitbulls and a Slayer of FUG.

<p class="MsoNormal">(Because of this, it has been frequently hypothesized that the domination of Bayroad was the final condition he had to fulfill to became a Slayer)

<p class="MsoNormal">It is rumoured that he is currently using the enormous revenue made in Bayroad as a weapon to build mysterious pleasure and entertainment facilities (<span lang="KO" style="font-family:"맑은고딕";mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:"맑은고딕"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">유흥시설, yooheung shiseol, a la adult entertainment involving alcohol, drugs, and sex) everywhere throughout the Tower and therefore expanding his influence and power. However, he has never showed his face since becoming a Slayer.

GoDai's comments
I must say this "Blood Fusion" sounds an awful lot like how Zahard's Princesses obtain their powers.
