Ascension of Chaos

[X21Sails] –

{So, anyone want to bet on how many magical affinities the Princess has?}

[UberCats71] –

{Princess?}

[X21Sails] –

{The Successor of Chaos. A lot of people from the Tower of Chaos started calling her a princess, so it\'s just kind of stuck.}

[Arold136] –

{Right. Well, I\'m not really sure. The way she\'s using her skills and revealing them is odd to me.}

[X21Sails] –

{What d\'you mean?}

[QPRobo17] –

{No, I get you. She\'s been revealing one new skill after another for a while now, none of which seem to have much of anything in common. It makes me wonder just what sort of Skill Tree she has.}

[Prana17Mana] –

{It is rather bizarre. And what\'s with those strange affects her attacks sometimes have?}

[Arold136] –

{Maybe a Successor Skill?}

[Lana123456] –

{Could also just be a bunch of regular skills that give effects.}

[Prana17Mana] –

{But only some of her attacks have them, and not all of those attacks are important ones.}

[XNagaX71] –

{I mean, she poisoned someone in an event by throwing a rock…}

[Arold136] –

{…}

[Lana123456] –

{I forgot about that.}

[Prana17Mana] –

{How does someone even manage that anyways?}

[XNagaX71] –

{No idea. Ask the Successor.}

[Arold136] –

{As if she would answer. She barely ever speaks.}

[X21Sails] –

{But she just said Chaos\'s name.}

[Lana123456] –

{Yeah, I was rather shocked about that as well.}

[Prana17Mana] –

{More shocked than the act of her walking into a Gate on her own?}

[Lana123456] –

{Yep. A lot more shocked.}

[Prana17Mana] –

{Wait, really?}

[Lana123456] –

{I mean, can you really see that poor girl fighting in a team?}

[Prana17Mana] –

{oh}

[X21Sails] –

{Yep}

[Arold136] –

{True.}

[UltraCat8282] –

{Oh, btw, did anyone hear the rumors?}

[Lana123456] –

{What rumors?}

[Arold136] –

{No, tell us}

[UltraCat8282] –

{Well, there are two rumors going around.}

[Prana17Mana] –

{I know one of them. Is it that the Successors of Chaos and Magic from Val are siblings?}

[UltraCat8282] –

{Right! Some people from the world have even confirmed it from the brother! And they\'re not just siblings!}

[Lana123456] –

{Are they twins?}

[UltraCat8282] –

{Yep!}

[Lana123456] –

{Wow.}

[Arold136] –

{Never seen twin Successors before. From different Primordials too.}

[Prana17Mana] –

{What\'s the other rumor?}

[UltraCat8282] –

{It\'s a juicy one. Some of the higher Class hunters are starting to speculate on the Successor of Chaos\'s skills.}

[PoltergeistX@1] –

{What are they speculating?}

[Prana17Mana] –

{Yeah, stop building suspense and just tell us!}

[Lana123456] –

{I\'m just gonna look it up myself.}

[UltraCat8282] –

{Apparently, they\'re speculating that the Successor of Chaos may have a skill that lets her take the skills of others!}

[Arold136] –

{…}

[Prana17Mana] –

{WHAT?!}

[PoltergeistX@1] –

{That\'s bull. It\'s gotta be fake.}

[Lana123456] –

{Yeah, I have trouble believing something like that exists.}

[UltraCat8282] –

{It\'s just their speculation. Nothing more than that. And most of the hunters don\'t believe it.}

[PoltergeistX@1] –

{Ha. They\'re probably just making it up in order to sound cool or make her a target}

[Lana123456] –

{Probably}

[UltraCat8282] –

{Well, I agree with you on that, but I also feel like they have some interesting points arguing in their favor.}

[PoltergeistX@1] –

{Like what?}

[UltraCat8282] –

{Every magical affinity she\'s shown so far has been used by a monster she\'s killed herself. Same with every skill she\'s used as well.}

[Lana123456] –

{That… is a little interesting, but I still can\'t see anyone having a skill so broken.}

[PoltergeistX@1] –

{Yeah. It\'s impossible.}

[UltraCat8282] –

{It would explain her massive growth in potential skills though…}

[Arold136] –

{I refuse to believe there\'s a skill that powerful.}

[Lana123456] –

{If she had a skill like that, don\'t you think she\'d be using a lot more skills than she\'s currently using?}

[Arold136] –

{True.}

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

[UltraCat8282] –

{Yeah, didn\'t think about that}

[Lana123456] –

{She isn\'t using many skills right now, and if I had a skill like that, I\'d be using all of them whenever I can.}

[PoltergeistX@1] –

{Considering the number of life and death battles she\'s been in, not using them all would be stupid. Even if she exposed such a powerful skill.}

[Lana123456] –

{Agreed.}

[Arold136] –

{Yep.}

[PoltergeistX@1] –

{So she can\'t have a skill like that.}

[UltraCat8282] –

{Did anyone see her little interaction with Chaos there?}

[XSoulXLight4] –

{That was cute}

[Arold136] –

{I didn\'t realize Chaos could genuinely care about someone.}

[Lana123456] –

{Do you think he\'s really being genuine?}

[UltraCat8282] –

{It\'s hard to tell with him, but I think so.}

[Lana123456] –

{He could\'ve just done it to make sure she didn\'t die and embarrass him simply by rolling over in her sleep. Did you ever think about that?}

[UltraCat8282] –

{True, but let me dream, okay?}

[XSoulXLight4] –

{lmao}

[Lana123456] –

{lol}

[ReTurn7XXX9] –

{Has anyone noticed how quickly Ashley is getting followers?}

[XSoulXLight4] –

{Yeah, she already reached the six digits, and it hasn\'t even been a week since she entered the system}

[Lana123456] –

{It\'s surprising. Most Successors don\'t explode in followers until after the first Council meeting.}

[S0ulTak3r] –

{Hey, I heard that the Successor of Chaos has a Spire of her own. Anyone else wondering how she\'ll deal with the meeting?}

[Lana123456] –

{Probably hide in her booth the entire time.}

[UltraCat8282] –

{Yeah, I can see that}

[Arold136] –

{I\'d be shocked if she actually left her booth.}

[ReTurn7XXX9] –

{Yep.}

[PoltergeistX@1] –

{She\'s barely even left her Spire other than to battle, so leaving her booth… yeah, can\'t see that happening.}

[XSoulXLight4] –

{I think it\'s adorable.}

[UltraCat8282] –

{Well, yeah. Everything she does is adorable.}

[CuteHunterX0X0X] –

{Ye, Ashley is the cutest.}

[XSoulXLight4] –

{Agreed 100%.}

[PoltergeistX@1] –

{Even if I don\'t particularly care for how she fights, I agree with her being cute. Although I\'d say beautiful is more like it.}

[CuteHunterX0X0X] –

{Why can\'t she be both?}

[PoltergeistX@1] –

{True.}

[BlazingSniper8] –

{But her gaze… don\'t you think it\'s a little frightening?}

[Lana123456] –

{What do you mean?}

[BlazingSniper8] –

{I was in one of the System Events she participated in, and when she looked me directly in the eyes… it was honestly a little scary.}

[Lana123456] –

{How so?}

[BlazingSniper8] –

{Well, her gaze is just… empty. It\'s like she\'s looking through you. Like she sees nothing but your combat strength.}

[Lana123456] –

{…}

[UltraCat8282] –

{I find that attractive, personally}

[CuteHunterX0X0X] –

{Yeah, it adds to her charms.}

[ReTurn7XXX9] –

{Some forum threads focus entirely on that. They say it adds to her innocence and cuteness.}

[PoltergeistX@1] –

{I\'ve heard some people even take her as the epitome of innocence because of that. All she sees in others is how she\'ll protect herself from them. Nothing else. No malice, no hatred, no jealousy, no anything.}

[XSoulXLight4] –

{The epitome of innocence indeed.}

[CuteHunterX0X0X] –

{She\'s just cute. That\'s all there is to it.}

[CuteHunterX0X0X] –

{Well, I\'m gonna go bet on her beating this Gate in a few hours. After she wakes up.}

[UltraCat8282] –

{Same.}

[PoltergeistX@1] –

{Good idea.}

[Thief0fNight] –

{I\'m gonna bet on her losing to the mini boss.}

[UltraCat8282] –

{Why?}

[Lana123456] –

{Her level is easily high enough to win, and she would likely win at this point even if she wasn\'t that high a level. So why would you do that?}

[Thief0fNight] –

{To get rid of Lucy.}

[Lana123456] –

{Lu…cy? Who\'s that?}

[PoltergeistX@1] –

{Wait, I think I\'ve heard about this. Isn\'t this Lucy thing a skeletal horse that\'s been making the rounds through the bets revolving around Ashley lately?}

[XSoulXLight4] –

{Yep. I\'ve heard having her gives you bad luck. Or something like that.}

[PoltergeistX@1] –

{Well, there needs to be some reason everyone keeps sending her away.}

[UltraCat8282] –

{I wish you luck on losing this bet. Not that you\'ll need it.}

[Thief0fNight] –

{Yeah, there\'s no way Ashley\'ll lose.}
