It's so that free readers can't see half the chapter when the chapter eventually becomes patron only.

And this marks the end of the first half or so of book one.

Of course, I'm starting the next half right away. Maybe even tonight. But maybe tomorrow instead.

It depends on how I feel after finishing posting this, and if I want to go ahead and finish preparation for the Royal Road launch of this story tonight or not.

If I do then I won't write another chapter tonight. If I don't then it'll still depend on how I feel.

Still, six chapters today of Pioneer of the Abyss is pretty good if I do say so myself.

Finally some action from the orca's!

Raine

Interview time! I’ve been looking forward to this! And the orcas! Can’t wait to see where that goes ^.^

Hillbillyjedi

Can’t wait for the interview! Another fantastic chapter again.

Jake Rands

I will take as much as you will give. In the famous words: "Please sir, I want some more."

Dantalia

so fun so nice! lovely book!

Emanuil Glavchev

You're writing like a maniac! The book is amazing, glad you're also enjoying the process

Nemesis

I'm loving this book!

Aeonstorm

I’m looking forward to reactions when they see her arm regenerating. I’m also curious about the orcayne family and Aqua’s history still been suspicious?

shootingQuasar1

Everybody: Let's get you a prosthesis Aqua: don't worry it's just a flesh wound

Quendolayne

Thx for the chapter. Ominous tidings with the family as well as the second ranked on her planet. Can’t wait to read more about it.

Aeonstorm

Yeah things with the Orcayne family seem like they could go either way but seem to be going in a positive direction.

Tyler MachadoDarth Bane

Very cool, you'd think there would be a potion to regrow the arm as well since magic is a thing, but maybe it's far outside what a sponsor can afford. Glad everyone likes this including me. Imagine writing this and nobody was liking it? Crimson got some crap because Aria could never die, but I don't think you've had to deal with anyone not liking a new story. Now Acqua needs to find a place with hundreds of creatures of her same level so she can get regen far higher. By the end of the story, she'll be practically invulnerable.

ChaosOmega98

I’m being to wonder how these cities were built if the people don’t seem like they can naturally breath underwater like aqua

Aeonstorm

I wonder when Aqua will go to the abyss and how it will come about?

ChaosOmega98

I’m wondering if the orcayne might have been protecting her from the shadows and her being selected through them into some disarray

ChaosOmega98

I don’t expect that to happen till she is at least lv50 but most likely lv100 as who knows what exist in the abyss

sjmcc13

I would expect not until her level in in the hundreds. a previous chapter referred to an "established" pioneer fighting a lv 221 boss. I would say at least lv 250, probably 500 or 1000

sjmcc13

I kind of doubt it, feels more like a dirty secret they don't want getting out. You don't protect someone by placing them at the very bottom of society with no real prospects to live a decent life. Especially not one with law enforcement prone to abusing their power like we have seen from their hair trigger to punish people.

sjmcc13

With the 2nd rank, I am curious how long the system was on the planet before Aqua was sent there. He is referencing having been searching towns for rankers, but that requires time and effort when she has been there for what 2 weeks?

Aeonstorm

Getting subnautica vibes lol

ChaosOmega98

Well I’ve you are hiding a person from enemies you place the person in the place you least expect them

ChaosOmega98

But I was mainly referring to the coincidences of her education if you remember her stating she got in to all these advanced programs in her school that gave her a higher education for being a orphan then suspicious the school she was in closing after she graduated it if I’m remember correctly

ChaosOmega98

I’m referring to chapter 24 where she talks about her education and all the coincidences surrounding it

Quendolayne

Yeah, it sounds he was even fighting before the system came - not sure how he and other natives will react to what is in a kind of way and incursion by off-worlders. But ofc a cute one. 🤣😁🥹

Jalil Hayes

It could also be like the situation like AoC, you know the family is powerful but the child doesn't show any signs of power or like WBM where the family had to leave her to the side for the sake of some prophecy we all know Wolf like to build the suspense so we know it's going to be something that we wouldn't see coming.

Aeonstorm

Maybe her parents didn’t have active bloodlines and were expelled from the family?

sjmcc13

I am thinking that based on a previous comment from I think the researchers, the bloodlines families are likely protective and selective in their partner choicess. She was probably born to an unapproved pairing, and cast out by the family as a result. probably a family member and low class/tier nobody civilian with a dormant bloodline. The school feels like what one parent could do without tripping any flags with other members. If you were hiding, then you do not send to the lowest rung of society where the chances of an accidental death, or becoming a crime statistic are the highest, you slip into a middle class family in the middle of nowhere.

Jacobr365

Gotta say, I really like this one. Aqua just being a bit shy instead of doing her best to ignore everyone else is a nice change from your usual MC. I love the interaction between her and the chat.

ChaosOmega98

Well we should just wait and see what will happen as whatever wolf is planning will be awesome

WolfShine

You're forgetting that there is technically some land on the planet.

Michelle Goodman

Anyone else wondering if Kraken is Daddy or Mommy? after all… WolfShine has a certain theme in basically all his “orphan” protagonist books.

Ravn1

This is Definitely a page scroller good job Wolfie
