Don't mind this. It's fluff so that free readers can't see the link when the chapter/post is no longer free.

Hello everyone! As stated in the title, this is a Q&A post for this story to mark a milestone! A 100k word milestone for the story! Go ahead and ask anything you'd like about it, and I'll most likely answer it tomorrow. Of course, no spoilers for future events. Unless I'm just in the mood.
I've never done a Q&A before for a story, other than WBM when it was completed. So I decided to see how it would go if I tried it after seeing another author friend doing it.
And no, book one isn't over yet. There's still a bit more left.
So go ahead and ask away.
(PS: I'm going to bed after posting this so it won't likely be until tomorrow that I answer questions)

Starting to wonder if I should just make a copy paste for this question as this is the third time it's been asked in this comments. Yes for her siblings. She'll consider them family in the eventual future.

2024-07-11 17:01:56 +0000 UTCWill Ashley consider her Siblings as family or only really close friends in the future ?

2024-07-11 16:53:26 +0000 UTCOf course they do. Chaos is an affinity in the universe. It doesn't just belong to the Primordial of Chaos alone, just like other people can have affinities to magic, same as the Primordial of Magic. It's just that secondary energy is very rare, especially for chaos energy. But others do have it. And no, secondary energy is not the same as an affinity that lets them use that magic. This was explained before. There are people with Skill Trees so similar it can pretty much be considered the same but are not the same. Either they have a different name or they have a different branching setup with the same skills. But no one has the exact 100% same Skill Tree, name and everything, except monsters. She cannot level up her skills. Period. And generally if she gets a skill that requires monsters anatomy then she'll get that anatomy as well. Most of the time at least. No shapeshifting required. It would just alter her body. It's one of the reasons why she tested a while back if she could discard a Skill Tree.

2024-07-11 15:42:29 +0000 UTCI have a few questions so I hope I can ask more than one. First, Chaos the primordial, was surprised that chaos energy was coming from a NEWLY integrated world, does that mean people from worlds that have been fully integrated for a while get access to chaos skill trees. Second, like in the tutorial with the dark hounds, are there people with the exact same skill tree's, or that when a person with a skill tree dies someone will be born with that skill tree eventually, and if so, if Ashley assimilates them do their levels combine or does it change to the higher level one, or does every living SAPIENT have a skill tree unique to them, third, it's said she can't level up her skills by using them, but are there items or consumables that can level up skills, and lastly if she gets a shape-shifting skill tree will she be able to use skill trees she gets from monsters that require said monsters anatomy to use certain skills.

2024-07-11 15:37:31 +0000 UTCShe's already assimilated the skill trees of both non-sapient and sapient creatures. So not much to answer here. She can assimilate anything as long as it has a Skill Tree.
WolfShine
2024-07-11 14:42:36 +0000 UTCIs she only able to assimilate the skill trees of three members of a sapient species or is she not limited by sapients and it only applies to monster species?

2024-07-11 14:41:35 +0000 UTCI’d ask a question but I’m drawing a blank. Sooo imma go read one of the other 15 plus books I read
Zuuuuuri
2024-07-11 14:24:49 +0000 UTCShe never forgives them if that's what you're asking, but she does get over her trauma.
WolfShine
2024-07-11 14:10:17 +0000 UTCNo. She can't level skills up at all. Points do not level skills. They only unlock them. The only levels she can have on skills are those she steals from others. Since she literally gets a copy/paste of their current Skill Tree including their levels, except with all of their skills locked but the root skill. And she has a lot.
WolfShine
2024-07-11 14:09:46 +0000 UTCNo idea. I don't plan the ending of my series at the start of it. Generally I only figure out how long it'll be around halfway or so through. That said, with how I did the Classes and levels, it'll likely be a lot longer than WBM.
WolfShine
2024-07-11 14:08:29 +0000 UTCShe gradually gets closer to her siblings, but she won't forgive her parents. Although she will get over her trauma and will be able to interact with them in the future.
WolfShine
2024-07-11 14:08:02 +0000 UTCIt'll be a bit of a mixture. Some of them fight for control and others ally with each other.
WolfShine
2024-07-11 14:07:06 +0000 UTCI was wondering will she just ignore and treat her original biological parents as pure strangers with no chance to make up later
Vangelis Theodoratos
2024-07-11 14:00:31 +0000 UTCJust to check my understanding, she cannot level up the skills she steals through using them correct, only with points? Also, how many possible skills is she up to currently?
Jake Rands
2024-07-11 13:10:02 +0000 UTCWBM had six books when it finished about how many do you see this one having?
Shadow
2024-07-11 10:39:59 +0000 UTCI was wondering where you see her character going emotionally towards others? I can kinda see a father/daughter thing with chaos but with her twin and other family showing more interest I was curious how you think she may interact with them? Leaning on WBM as another character with emotional issues for reference would you bring her towards eventual forgiveness or at the very least tolerance?
Cody McSwain
2024-07-11 08:41:59 +0000 UTCIs this next arc/ book two going to be more like WBM where the different “factions” forming around her fight for control of the planet, or is it going to be more of an uneasy team/alliance?
Keegan Moss
2024-07-11 07:15:53 +0000 UTCThat's hard to estimate considering my rather instinctive writing style, but probably somewhere in book two or three. Likely in book 2. There's still one more major arc left in book one btw.
WolfShine
2024-07-11 06:20:42 +0000 UTCAbout how long until she gets her memories back? Either chapter wise or time wise.
