“The Phantom Thief Astar has appeared!”
Astar, a phantom thief, is renowned for stealing items with unique powers called “Ashtartes,” treasures of the empire that are blessed by the gods. He is also known for pilfering valuables from the nobility to distribute among the common folk, which has garnered him a legendary status. During one of his heists, while securing an Ashtarte, he crosses paths with a mysterious individual named Aeon.
Aeon: “As expected, this one’s indeed a fake. If so, where’s the real one?”
Astar: “If the Ashtarte approves of me, then the original must be where I am.”
Upon discovering a man at the scene, Astar employs sleeping incense to conceal his tracks. While he escapes unscathed, Astar remains intrigued by the enigma of Aeon’s identity – a mysterious figure acknowledged by the crown prince and esteemed by the nobility.
Aeon: “… My name is Aeon Worth.”
Astar: “A pleasure to meet you, Monsieur Worth. I’m Chloe Evanchester.”
Astar realizes that Aeon, whom he met by chance, knows about the treasure he’s been chasing, called “Dawn” – Astar’s ultimate goal. He then goes undercover as Aeon’s physician.
“As the audience wishes, shall we have some fun?”

This seems very interesting, camping 🏕
Glad to have you here! This novel is a gem and my favorite project I’ve ever worked on. Hope you enjoy! It’s my baby haha ❤
Was the novel moved on this website now?
Yes! I’ve made a few tweaks and improved areas of the translation along the way. Glad to be part of CG and to bring this novel to a wider audience. 😊❤

Ooo interesting

Kid the Phantom Thief? 🤣
Idk where else to find info abt this novel but it looks interesting 🫶 may I ask around how many chapters there are in each volume? Thank you 💖
However, here is the WN to LN conversion. I expect the total chapter count will be a bit less than described here, as each WN chapter is only roughly 3.3-3.5k characters, and each chapter I translate here is 5k – 8.5k. (So maybe half to 2/3 as many? Perhaps near 122 total.)For context, currently I have started arc 3 out of 4 of Volume 1.
Volume 1: Chapter 1 ~ Chapter 32 – 4 arcs
Volume 2: Chapter 32 ~ Chapter 65 – 4 arcs
Volume 3: Chapter 66 ~ Chapter 100 – 3 arcs
Volume 4: Chapter 100 ~ Chapter 132 – 3 arcs
Volume 5: Chapter 133 ~ Chapter 162 – 4 arcs + epilogue
(Side Story Volume): SS Chapter 1 ~ SS Chapter 24 – 3 arcs
Hope this helps. 😊
Thank you so much for your reply!!💖
Anytime!! 💖✨
