As with all Q&A posts, ask me anything and I will most likely answer depending on the question.

This is the first Q&A post for Pioneer of the Abyss. And so far the story has been doing rather well on Royal Road and my motivation still hasn't crashed for it like it normally does for stories I release on Royal Road.

How long do you think you will keep up posting this often

Gilded Goblin

Aside from Hydra, Abyssal Orca, and Kraken, what are some of the other Bloodlines out there? Will any of them have any prominence later on?

Hillbillyjedi

Do you have any idea how many chapters are there going to be in book 1

Le Sparkle

How many more hashtags will Aqua get? 😆 #MinerAqua #PredatorAqua

WolfWrites

Nope. However many I end up writing.

Hillbillyjedi

Awesome was just curious thanks for answering

WolfWrites

I'll say a few. There's also the Phoenix Bloodline, the Thunderbird Bloodline, and the Glacial Wolf. The rest and you'll just have to wait and see.

WolfWrites

No idea. At the very least a week or two though.

ChaosOmega98

Will she get a unique last name for herself

WolfWrites

Probably not, but I could change my mind in the future.

Jake Rands

How exactly do bloodlines come about. If you go far enough back, is there an abyssal orca direct ancestor? Or is it something like just taking blood from the orca in the past?

WolfWrites

That you'll have to wait and see for. Also, it seems you might be misunderstanding something based on the way you worded that. There is only a single Abyssal Orca in existence. There is also only a single Kraken in existence. There is only one of each origin for the Bloodlines in existenc.

Heretic-Purger-2000

Are their feats or something like it kind of like the first ranker that gives extra powers or is that it

WolfWrites

Nope. There are different extra traits for the leaderboards besides just the planetary one though. Including the Galaxy-wide leaderboards and the universe-wide leaderboards.

Heretic-Purger-2000

Okay one last question how many ancient monsters are known

Chris Hodge

Is the abyssal kraken that supposedly got her uncle aqua's ancestor in some way?

Jake Rands

I see. Thank you for the clarification!

WolfWrites

There are currently a little less than thirty known, with 24 Bloodlines currently existing with at least one Bloodliner awakened to them.

Stuart prior

When is aqua going to get a full transformation ability?? And will she have 3 forms like the partial shift so abyssal orca, kraken and abyssal kraken??

PaintedMirror36

A few system questions. 1) is there a maximum level people can achieve? 2) Do titles exist, since it seems like World First Ranker is a trait instead?

Aeonstorm

What does a pioneer need to do to get control of the planet they’re sent to?

Atila M

do you intend to have only humans as sapient beings ? (except the ancient beings) like mermaids, fishmen ?

WolfWrites

That's the current plan, but it's possible it could change in the future. Unlikely though.

Captain2003Rex

Did the Abyssal Kraken exist before Aqua awoke her bloodline? Or did it spontaneously manifest out of nowhere in the depths of the Abyss? This feels like something you might touch on in the story eventually, but I thought I might as well ask lol. I’ve been really loving the story by the way, thanks for writing! 🔱

Aeonstorm

Did the Abyssal Kraken sense Aqua been born? Is that what caused the situation with her parents going missing? Also is there some method by which the two families can know if Aqua’s parents are alive and is this why they are still searching for them?

WolfWrites

You'll have to read and find out yourself for the first question. But the second question is a yes, they do have a device to track if her parents are alive or dead.

ChaosOmega98

That is a very interesting thought

Erain

Been enjoying this. Hope your motivation remains high. My questions are about hidden stats. Aqua got one with her bloodline that allows it to grow but is that actually normal? She has that cube that can grant one but will it grant a trait or some such that will help its growth? Is there a list that is more or less universal for everyone or is it more a personalized stat depending on factors? If that cube exists has someone gone out of their way to get as many hidden stats as possible? Is there a limit? And finally in your personal opinion how many hidden stats would be worth actually trying to get? (Since points are limited at the moment based on level)

WolfWrites

Traits that allow hidden stats to grow are only available to Bloodlines. No normal human without a Bloodline has a way to increase a hidden stat outside of free points. The cube just unlocks the hidden stat. To increase the stat it's no different from other stats. Use free points from leveling up. There is no list as the hidden stats people get are 100% random and very rarely the same one as someone else might get. That cube is something only one in a trillion people could even get. So no, it's not even possible for someone to go around collecting them. There is a limit of three hidden stats per person unlockable. The System Administrator already has all three unlocked so that special cube is useless to him. All hidden stats are worth it.

Aeonstorm

Can we have some more information on the Abyss? Is there only one entrance/exit? How big is it? What is it like inside? Are there like floating underwater worlds or continents etc?

WolfWrites

There is only one entrance. I'm not saying how big it is as I want to keep that secret. I also want to keep the insides of it mostly secret.

Aeonstorm

Quick query when you say 3 unlockable stats per person. Say a Bloodliner uses a special cores to unlock 3 hidden stats and later on there bloodline unlocks another would the system stop the stat awakening?

WolfWrites

That wouldn't happen. Bloodlines that unlock hidden stats always do it as one of their very first traits. There is never a hidden stat trait later on since the Bloodline traits that unlock hidden stats always give a way to grow the stat without free points. And it would be a waste to give that when they're already around level ten or twenty thousand as it would be harder more often than not to raise the stat at that point. That said, if someone with three hidden traits tried to use a special core, the core just wouldn't activate.

Aeonstorm

No problem, may I ask why Aqua’s two families are so involved with it and what the alliances interest is in it? Are there high value resources that can be obtained or something?

Aeonstorm

I see, so in Regards to Aqua will she be able to unlock 2 or 3 more hidden stats does the Regen count towards to max unlockable ones?

WolfWrites

That should be pretty obvious. They're the only two aquatic Bloodlines in existence. The better question is why wouldn't they be involved with the massive, dangerous, and unexplored ocean floating in a spatial pocket in space? People being uninterested would be weird as hell.

WolfWrites

As was just stated, she will only be able to unlock 2 more hidden stats. Since she already has one.

Aeonstorm

LMAO! Super massive death zone let’s all go explore for fun!

Toby Lechtenbeger

Everytime I watch a female streamer there's always hundreds of comments and live chat saying to show feet. Where's my boiis at! You can't silence the truth!

Aschente

so you can just level infinitely?

Meh

Honestly, other than the story being good, the number of releases and how fast you did them is making an effect.

Meh

My question is - have you lost motivation for crimson eternal? That was a lovely story that I still follow and why I actually subscribed, yet compared to the beginning, the chapters have slowed down so much..

WolfWrites

Every story I write will always get fewer chapters over time. That's just set in stone. The smallest number of posts I'll make for a primary series is 2 a week unless chapters are canceled. Check my Discord server or author bio to see what a primary series is. It's a matter of prioritization. I am extremely motivated to write one series but only have enough motivation to write a certain amount a day. So I prioritize the ones I have the most motivation for.
