WARNING: In the spoiler are words or phrase's meaning.
t.n. : I added a lot of notes and some chara's introduction.
Only First Prolog and Epilog have this kind of chat-like template.
Second Prolog and Epilog are from third p.o.v while the rest are in first p.o.v.
The group name '10-5' has been changed into 'We are Babylonian all' by RiskiSSSSSS.
RiskiSSSSSS:
Woy! The one who had our class joined cm, who tf is it!
Woy⏤Similar to 'hey.'
CM⏤Classmeeting, a festival that is held after the exam each semester (6 month in Indonesia).
Come out!
Why
Just why!!! Why our class named BABYLONIAN ANJIRRR
(Anjing) Anjir⏤Or njir, means 'dog,' a cursing word to express any kind of emotion like 'fuck' I guess. Whether it is anger, frustration, excitement, confusion, anything.
i am beni:
Wakakakakakakak we're babylonian, bro
Wakaka⏤Or wkwkwk, sounds of someone's laughter, imitating duck's sound which is annoying. Sometimes it is used to mock others like here.
Mirna Safitri:
Anjir babylonian LOL
Lindaaa:
Shit, that makes me remember Bu Idin
(Ibu) Bu⏤Means 'Mrs.' refer to an older woman.
t.n. Bu Idin is their Indonesian Language and homeroom teacher, yes, she taught about Babylonian Empire too, not the history but something more memorable. What a shame I forgot to add this tiny bit of story in the novel, maybe I'll make one here later on.
Cintya V:
Pls what's with this alai name
Alai⏤Stand for Alahan dari lebai, means too much or overrate or overpraise or whatever with prefix over-
Andini Tasya:
What if Bu Idin did it but had no idea what name was better and smh remember her own teaching about Babylonian and picked it up and the end JUST WHAT IF WKWKWKWK
metA:
Silly Andin LMAO
Andin⏤Or Din, Andini Tasya's short name.
RiskiSSSSSS:
It's so damn embarrassing to be laughed at by others, they said our class name is as arrogant as a pig :(
(Songong kek babi) As arrogant as a pig⏤A wordplay. The original phrase is songong kek tai or 'as arrogant as shit' but their class name is Babylonian⏤no, but Babilonia and has 'babi' in it which means 'pig.'
i am beni:
Lah that's true tho? wkwkwk
Lah⏤In the front of a sentence used to express confusion, 'lah' after verb (E.g. oke lah⏤okay, sadar lah⏤realize, jelas lah⏤clear) is used to make it sound stronger, 'lah' at the end of a sentence (E.g. serah lu lah⏤up to you, biar bahagia lah⏤so that I'm happy, suka-suka gua lah⏤I do what I want) is used to express annoyance and you're not really willing to talk more.
The group name 'We are Babylonian all' has been changed into 'We are Babylonian? Truly?' by Pandu Winata.
Pandu Winata:
Seriously?
Daniel J. :
Sorry, I ran out of ideas, I happened seeing Bu Idin passed by that I remembered Babylonian
Rather than wasting my time dwelling, I just used that instead
Just Lisa:
Dan, I don't get what your brain is made of
Dan⏤Or Dani, Daniel Juanda's short name.
(Gue gak paham isi otak lu itu gimana) I don't get what your brain is made of⏤Not literal meaning but to express her sarcasm for "How come you use such a brainless name."
BastttAz:
Bgsd that cracks me up
(Bangsat) Bgsd⏤Or bgst, a cursing word. Similar to 'scoundrel' or 'bastard.'
Pandu Winata:
I thought the one you love the most is Pa Muhsin, Dan. I just know now the one you love the most instead is Bu Idin
(Bapak) Pa⏤Or Pak, means 'Mr.' refer to an older man.
t.n. Pa Muhsin is their chemistry teacher with a soft voice that makes them feel sleepy with only one exception, that is Dani. That's why he jokingly said Dani loves Pa Muhsin the most.

RiskiSSSSSS:
SHIT IS SHIT FOR SURE
(Tai emang tai deh ya) Shit is shit for sure⏤A cursing phrase, is used when you are annoyed others ignore you deliberately.
Andini Tasya:
Lis, Dani's brain is made of memories of Ian shhh
Lis⏤Lisa's short name.
(Isi otak Dani kan Ian semua) Dani's brain is made of memories of Ian⏤She totally didn't get Lisa's sarcasm and replied it literally. Ian was suddenly mentioned because both Dani and Ian are rumored as a gay pair.
Shh⏤Shushing sound.
DAMN I AM SO CHEAP ANJIR WKWKWKWK
(Receh) Cheap⏤Means easily entertained or laugh because of random or weird jokes.
i am beni:
Woy Du, let him be with Bu Idin
Du⏤Pandu Winata's short name.
If he were with Ian, he would be hibernating in the sea of deep wounds
(Terlelap dalam lautan luka dalam) He would be hibernating in the sea of deep wounds⏤Lyrics from the song 'Butiran Debu.'
PRendi:

yusufmansyur:
Damn wjwjwj
Horny in next room Ren, not here
Ren⏤Pamungkas Rendi's short name.
Lindaaa:
I am so cheap I swear WKWKWKWKWK
RiskiSSSSSS:
Yall bacod I say
(Bacot) Bacod⏤Or bcd, means 'mouth' literally, but mostly used as a rude calling for people who talk too much. Similar to 'loudmouthed.'
I don't wanna play if the name weren't changed elahh
Elah⏤Has no definite meaning but here is used to make him sound more like "I'm begging you."
PRendi:
Good for cleaning our eyes, Cup
Cup⏤or Ucup, Yusuf Mansyur's short name.
Daniel J. :
Well, I’m sorry, but you guys are at fault too. Yesterday I asked bout it yet yall only read my chat.
Feraini:

RiskiSSSSSS:
How shameful njir so shameful
(Malu njir malu) How shameful njir so shameful⏤Literally, he's so embarrassed by their class name that he cursed out loud.
Feraini:

Mirna Safitri:
It’s kinda cute now that I dwell on it
RiskiSSSSSS:
Your bald head is cute
(Ucul pala lu botak) Your bald head is cute⏤To express dissatisfaction or disagreement strongly. If someone said "He's so sweet" and then you disagree, you can say "Your bald head is sweet."

Marselalex:
The three of you, don't stop bacot so that I can kick you out like someone
Sela is urging Iki, Beni and Rendi to talk more so she has justification to kick them out of the group like Iqbal.
i am beni:

PRendi:
Eh my mom called me, wait a sec
RiskiSSSSSS:
Better to ask Tian, the source itself, I will not interfere
t.n. Yes. Beni is silent, Rendi lies and runs away, while Iki throws the bullet to Tian.

Tian shut up

...
Andini Tasya:
OHH THAT’S WHEN WE WERE AT THE TOP TWO WEEKS AGO, RIGHT SEL? THE ONE WHEN YOU FORGOT UGHH IT’S BETTER NOT TO SAY

RiskiSSSSSS:

i am beni:

RiskiSSSSSS:
I'm too curious that I feel insomniac, what bout watching movies
t.n. Iki is curious about the story about the photo posted by Iqbal (Iq). Because no one tells him about it, he will dwell on it so much that he cannot sleep, so yeah, insomniac.

Yes or no, Ren?
i am beni:
Nonono, I mean Malin Kundang’s mommy
PRendi:
Wait a sec, Ki. My mom called again

yusufmansyur:
You’re both idiots, pigs
PRendi:
Oh yeah, I forgot my mom just called earlier
t.n. He's too lazy to explain it to Iki.
Daniel J. :
Just you all, why are you all talking about other people’s life? You all have your own life.
t.n. Can you relate when you write a long chat and it fails but you forget to check it because you reply to others and it is finally sent when the topic itself is far up away.

You’re quarantined yet you’re still wandering around, Yan. If Bu Idin found out, you'll be slid to death
Yan⏤Or Tian, Bastian Azriel's short name.

Andini Tasya:
WAH SO CRUEL I WAS KICKED OUT
RiskiSSSSSS:
Yauda si, we’re idiots together then
(Ya udah sih) Yauda si⏤To express that you yield and let others do whatever they want.
t.n. He has no idea why Ucup is angry after him and Beni tease Ucup, so he kindly appeases Ucup.
Eh anyone has a hugging teletubbies sticker?
Lindaaa:
The sticker has been sent.
RiskiSSSSSS:
There it is
BastttAz:
I’m not you, skipping class but get caught right away
RiskiSSSSSS:
That’s the first time I found out that there are people who have no talent skipping school
i am beni:
There was an idiot who wanted to skip class in the middle of Pa Budi’s lesson
t.n. Pa Budi is their math teacher, strict and likes to give them homework as many as he can.
I feel stupid
Iq:
THAT WAS ONLY ONCE ALSO IT WASNOT INTENTIONAL AT ALL ANJIR
Lindaaa:
That’s because you skipped only once moron
RiskiSSSSSS:
That’s right, Linda said the truth here
Iq:
Whatever lah, I’m tired.
The group name 'We are Babylonian? Truly?' has been changed into 'Babylonian Kingdom' by i am beni.
T.N. Supposedly, it is Babylonian Empire, well yeah, there are some loose screws in their head so...
Too many explanations tbh but I can't help it, the kids in this class have distinct character, temperament, nature, personality or whatever you call it. So I need to explain why this person said this, why that person said that and so on. For example, Beni is easygoing yet cautious. He knows when to push through and when to step back, later in the future he will mostly be the one who induces a lot of quarrels in the class.
I used many original words, mostly profanity. Because many have ambiguous meaning and I don't find the right word for it, so yeah. But the real reason is surely because it just sounds too rigid⏤we can't distinguish their personality with their chatlog while the original itself can let us know⏤I'm not lying. For example, the word 'moron' or anything used for insulting someone who is stupid, in original are bego and when alphabet 'K' is added at the end 'begok,' it suddenly sounds more harsher and unpleasant like 'retarded.' You can already see two different kinds of people there, outspoken people who still have their bottom line and who have no more bottom line left. Moreover, bahasa gaul or Indonesian slang has its own place and source. Let say, anjir which is used widely by kids to adults, it has many variations such as anying (mostly used by Sundanese), anju (mostly used in Jakarta), anjay (used in many social media platform, Twitter, YouTube, so on), njir (used in Kalimantan), anjas, anjrit⏤wait... Why do I suddenly open a language class?
Anyway, let's wrap it up.
My love from Pluto,
aoillies.

Kingdom of Ice
"170 years ago, in a world where humans have evolved such that they could live on the ocean floor, and form cities there, Commandant Franklin led a hunting party on a reconaissance expedition north, traveling from the outer edge of the Indian Ocean, all the way to the High Arctic. His goal: to find the fabled Northwest Passages for the Vicegerent of Tridention, and establish business with underwater arctic cities there. But the expedition went awry, and they never returned. Everyone in the party was presumed dead. Until now. When two of the hunters from that same expedition find their way back to Tridention after all these years, Watson, a retired commandant for one of Tridention's thirty-five hunting parties, agrees to help those hunters form a ragtag party of their own, against their leadership's wishes, and travel all the way back to the same Northwest Passages to recover the rest of the hunting expedition. The hope is that their commandant, and other hunters, are somehow still alive and can be brought back home safely. "

The False Warlock
The universe consists of two known planes of existence. The Demon plane and the Mortal plane. The Demon plane is the home to seven races of demons, while the Mortal plane is home to the Human race and their bizarre mutations and magical skills.The Mortal plane is a plane where countless humans live in densely populated cities. The complete opposite to the sparse populations of the Demon plane. Just as much as the Demons have powers, there are some mortals who have powers too. Mutations that create powerful Humans called Vigors as well as magic users who can cast spells or traverse the two planes.The Demon plane is ruled over by seven Demon lords and a king, while the other, less powerful demons fall into line behind these Demon lords. These Demon lords grant powers to their subjects, creating the seven demon races. All Demons can move between the two planes, but most choose not to due to their hatred of the Human race, but some do for a single thing. To have children, for Demons can only be male. At least- they should.Elmira is the first female demon and due to her unique circumstance and the demon's hatred of Humans, they wish to make her their queen with which they can have 'pure' children with. Elmira and her brother, Lucifer have other ideas. As a plan hidden from her other brothers and Satan, her Father, Lucifer sends her off to the Mortal plane in an effort to hide her amongst the Humans. However, it takes time to get used to the Mortal plane and the people within who have their own ideas as to what she should do.Warning: Tagged 17+ for gore, strong language and violence.
