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)

Briar Rosier

About how long until she gets her memories back? Either chapter wise or time wise.

WolfShine

That'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.

Briar Rosier

Is it going to be a gradual return or all at once?

Keegan Moss

Is 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?

Cody McSwain

I 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?

Shadow

WBM had six books when it finished about how many do you see this one having?

Jake Rands

Just 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?

Vangelis Theodoratos

I was wondering will she just ignore and treat her original biological parents as pure strangers with no chance to make up later

WolfShine

It'll be a bit of a mixture. Some of them fight for control and others ally with each other.

WolfShine

She 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

No 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

No. 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

She never forgives them if that's what you're asking, but she does get over her trauma.

Zuuuuuri

I’d ask a question but I’m drawing a blank. Sooo imma go read one of the other 15 plus books I read

Detruejedi

Is 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?

WolfShine

She'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.

Cody McSwain

Thank you! I just wanted to say all of your books are amazing and truly well written please keep doing you!

Draxas

I 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.

WolfShine

Of 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.

Draxas

Thankyou for the clarification, but I'm still curious about what happens to the level of a skill tree if she assimilates an exact duplicate from another monster with a higher or lower level or does all assimilating a duplicate do is unlock the next skill in said skill tree.

WolfShine

The higher level wins and replaces the lower level. And nowhere did it ever say that she got a new skill from a duplicate. Other than getting the lower level skills replaced with higher level ones, nothing else happens. At all. The only reason she would get a new skill is if it has a different root skill from the other one like some monsters have. But that's it. And at that point it wouldn't be considered the same Skill Tree. Other than the levels part this was shown early on in the story with the monster Skill Trees in the tutorial.

Draxas

Awesome. Again thankyou for the clarification, and thankyou for writing these amazing novels. May your well of creativity never dry up.

Endoles

Will Ashley consider her Siblings as family or only really close friends in the future ?

WolfShine

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.

Jake Rands

Thanks for the clarification!
