Hello! I tried translating this manga for fun and practice but I have a feeling I may have a few mistakes from here to there. I substituted certain words with others to capture a more colloquial English style for this, but I was wondering if there was anything I was really off on. I feel a little so so on translations for pages 1, 10, and 12. Any advice or pointers would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Fate: It's a beautiful area, is it not? / According to the war it was the scenery of no existence, of bad luck. / This scenery has been no more... for forty years.

フェイト: あなたが奴隷拳闘士としてデブューした年…
ラカン: まだ勝負の最中だ 人の過去を覗くのはあんまいい趣味じゃねぇな
Girl: !

Page 13:
Fate: As for you, it was the years of your debut as a prizefighting servant gladiator.
Rakan: We're still in the middle of our battle. Peeking into people's past isn't a very good hobby, eh, kid?

Girl: !!??
Girl: あ…何?!これは…
Girl: あなたは「???」をつかいましたか?
Girl: つ使ってないよ?
ラカン:なん…だ コレは俺は確かに奴の肩に手をかけて…
ラカン:いつ服を着た?いつ座った?いつこのカップを手に取った?幻覚 記憶操作時間操作…
ラカン:その程度なら おれには わかる…そうじゃねえ / てめぇ… / この感覚… この感覚はやはり…

Rakan: !!?
Girl1: Ah... what?! This is...
Girl3: ...did you use...
Girl2: I didn't use it?!
Rakan: (The... hell. This is... surely I had my hand on that guy's shoulder... / When did I suddenly wear this? When did I sit? When did I even take this cup in my hand?) / (To manipulate a hallucination to this degree in both time and one's memory... I don't get it...) / You... / (This sensation... this sensation is... after all...)

フェイト:あなたは僕を人形と呼んだけれど実の所ー あなたも人形なんだ悲しいけれどね

Page 15:
Fate: To destroy the world and begin a new one of magic. To rewrite.
Rakan: The end of the world... that's...!!
Fate: You may call me a puppet, but, the reality is... you too, are a sad and pitiful puppet...

フェイト:人形は人形師に逆らえない

What? You're telling me that I cannot defeat you?

Fate: You are truly strong Jack Rakan. There is no mistaking that you stand on par with the Thousand Master, is there? / Whether or not that fact of your strength has been well documented is something I cannot concur, however
I cannot tell whether your strength is real (ホンモン/ホンモノ/ほんもの/本物) or just a "bug"(?), however.

Page 12:
Fate: That's correct, this is no illusion. / This is the reality from that victory from some time ago / But no... this entire world has been nothing but an illusion. to begin with. / if I may correct myself.
The fight that's taken place just now was real as well.... so is this scenery. No, to be more precise (正確 not 性格), I suppose I could say that this entire world is an illusion.

Jack: (He says all of this without a care as he's sipping some tea? / No, that's not it / Whats with this uneasy feeling... / There's something off about this place and the place from some time ago... / tsk- this guy has quite the skill...) *this whole passage does not appear in the original text above*

Fate: It's a beautiful area, is it not? / According to the war it was the scenery of no existence, of bad luck. / This scenery has been no more... for forty years.
It is a shame that this scenery has been destroyed by the war and no longer exists. It happened (the scenery was lost).... yes, 40 years ago.

Fate: What's on your mind... the battle was... enthralling, yes? / But I have a mission, so therefore, you cannot be an opposition. / It is your sole power that we must absolutely use... and have
But I have a mission, so I have taken the liberty of using the (one and only) absolute power that you cannot fight against (oppose/deflect/win against).

A magic that destroys and creates the world. REWRITE!
Rakan: The end of the world... that's...!!
Fate: You may call me a puppet, but, the reality is... you too, are a sad and pitiful puppet...
Sadly, so are you (a puppet).

Text: Code of the Lifemaker!!

想像の域を超えた「絶対なる力」を舞えに(前に)ラカンは…?!
"After crossing over this imaginary realm, will the absolute power of Rakan dance to it-?!"
What will Rakan do, faced with/before the "ABSOLUTE POWER" that exceeds the realm of imagination!?

There are some mistakes in the original Japanese text (which I have corrected), and I suspect there are more. I hope my suggestionsl help. Good luck!
