Chloe glanced around the room again, just to be sure. Somehow, Morikhan had vanished completely. She wasn’t even sure how something that massive could hide so well, but apparently that was a thing ancient spooky wolves could do.
Still, that wasn't the biggest problem right now. When she turned back to the mirror, Chloe found herself at a bit of a loss.
On the surface, her reflection looked awesome. If she didn’t know better, she might’ve stopped to admire herself for a...

Chloe blurted it out before she could think better of it. “I’m a zombie.”
Morikhan stared at her for a moment. Then he let out a sharp exhale through his nose. “That much was obvious, I was going to scold you for being a fool… but now I see that you don’t even know what you are."
“Hey, I said I’m a zombie. You know… undead, kinda squishy, very cool. What’s the problem?”
“It no longer matters. Let’s skip to the point. What are you doing here, undead?...

Z stood quietly in the park, her clothes slightly wrinkled from the day’s heat and the weight of disappointment she refused to show. She slipped a coin into the vending machine, the metallic clink followed by a mechanical whir.
A plastic-wrapped sandwich dropped into the tray with all the enthusiasm of a layoff notice. She crouched, took the package, and tore the plastic with her thumb.
The sandwich inside looked barely edible; two slices of what was probabl...

When Chloe stepped through the hole in the ancient door, she expected something epic, maybe some floating magical stuff, or at least a creepy altar in the middle of the room. But instead, she was met with... emptiness.
The space beyond was massive, stretching far in every direction, and surprisingly quiet. Rows of stone pillars lined the floor, each one towering high into the darkness above until they disappeared into the shadows. The ceiling was so far up, that she couldn’t even tell...

Chloe had been thinking about the whole Morikhan vision thing earlier, but decided to shove it to the back of her mind. She could worry about that later. Right now, she had way more important things to handle, like spending all those juicy trait points she'd worked so hard for.
As she started fiddling with her system, Sierra glanced back at her. "You done?"
"Not yet. I gotta spend my trait points first!"
"Finally, something that’s not weird."
Chloe blinked. “Wait.....

Varnex narrowed his eyes as the writhing orb of shadow surged forward. It was a beautiful thing made from layered malice, decay, and entropy.
So when the undead stepped forward, palm glowing, he almost laughed. What did this silly girl think she was doing? But then the light came.
It split the darkness, pouring from her outstretched hand in a blinding burst. A dome of radiant energy formed around the two girls, and his spell slammed into it and shattered.

Administrator L sat behind a desk that had long since vanished beneath towering stacks of reports, appeals, and an endless stream of bureaucratic nonsense. It was far more than any one person should have been expected to handle but, unfortunately, he hadn’t been given a choice.
Since Z’s forced resignation, nearly every piece of administrative work tied to the Great Game had landed squarely on his plate. The volume alone was overwhelming, but that wasn’t the part that bothered him...

The dungeon really wasn’t all that bad. A few skeletons tried to get in the way again, but they weren’t much of a problem. Sabine zapped half of them before they even got close, and Scar cleaned up the rest with some good ol’ punches.
Seriously, what were a bunch of wobbly bones gonna do? Spook us into tripping over ourselves?
So, the party kept moving. Sabine and Scar took the lead. Meanwhile, Chloe hung back with Wolfie… or uh, Sierra. She reminde...

Sierra felt… strange. Her body ached in dull, unfamiliar ways, as though she’d been asleep too long in a position that didn’t quite fit. The world around her was noisy in patches, quiet in others.
She tried to sit up, but her limbs didn’t quite cooperate, so she stayed where she was and focused on breathing. The last thing she remembered was leaving Tartarus.
Icariel had said there wasn’t much time left, that the Sages of the Wilds had to be dealt with before...

They’d been sitting around for a while now. Sabine had sat herself against the wall, arms crossed and eyes half-lidded. Scar was lounging nearby, one leg stretched out and the other tapping impatiently. Chloe sat on the floor with her knees pulled up, lightly scratching shapes into the dust with her finger.
Her left hand had already grown back, of course. Chloe flexed it a few times, watching how the fingers curled just right. She tilted her head, squinting at it suspiciously. But...

Sabine led the way with her usual serious expression, a soft, floating light drifting near her shoulder to light the path ahead. Scar followed after her at a more casual place.
Chloe brought up the rear, as usual. She wasn’t really paying attention to where they were going, too busy dragging her fingers along the damp walls and poking at odd bits of moss or mystery gunk clinging to the cracks. At one point, she leaned sideways and shot Scar a curious look.
“So, uh… wha...

Chloe clapped her hands once. “Okay! Tagging in!”
The ground beneath Scar gave a deep, rumbling groan. A second later, cracks tore across the floor. Thick arms of rock burst upward, grasping for his legs with a violent snap.
But Scar was faster than he looked. He let out a low growl, twisting his body just as the first stone hand lunged. With one powerful push, he vaulted sideway to dodge the grasping hands.
He landed hard, one foot then the other, the muscle...

The Ironfang guy was forced to walk ahead of them. Every time he even looked like he was thinking about doing something stupid, Sabine gave him a zap to the back that made his fur puff up. After the third one, he stopped trying anything altogether.
Eventually, they stopped in front of a run-down building. Its walls were streaked with weird, blotchy stains, like someone had been throwing soup at it every day. The roof slouched like it had given up trying to stay upright, and the whole pl...

The bald Luphian's body began to change. His muscles stretched, his shoulders widened, and his arms looked like they were about to pop. Then his spine lengthened with a loud crack, and he rose taller and taller, until Chloe had to crane her neck just to keep him in view.
Okay… how big is this guy gonna get? she thought, frowning.
From the corner of her eye, she saw Sabine watching too. She looked just as curious as Chloe felt.

With Sabine's help, flying turned out to be way more fun than Chloe expected. Once she got the hang of things, she actually started to enjoy herself.
Sabine showed her how to glide smoothly, how to turn, and even how to dive without hitting a tree. Chloe tried every trick she could think of, twirling and spiraling through the sky.
At one point, Chloe glanced sideways and asked, “How’d you get so good at this, anyway?” Sabine explained that lightning magic helped,...

For a few seconds, Sabine just stared at Chloe with that unreadable expression of hers. Chloe tilted her head, confused by the look. What? It was a brain. A very important brain.
Sabine eventually gave a slight tilt of her head. “What are you talking about?”
Chloe clutched the scroll to her chest. “Okay, so! There’s this super special brain I got as a reward for helping Raenof with bringing him over to Vorraska. Anyway! I didn’t have time to snack on it ea...

Sabine stepped farther into the room. “This is one of the many hideouts used by Sol."
“What’s a Sol?” Chloe asked.
“Sol is a secret organization, whose main goal is to revive Solarius, the Sun God.”
“Okay… but what's an organization?”
“It’s a group of people who work together for the same purpose.”
“Oh. So why isn’t it called Solarius then? If they want to revive Solarius, shouldn’t the group be named after him?”

Chloe narrowed her eyes and stared at Sabine. Not just a normal stare, but the super intense kind. Sabine didn’t seem bothered. She lounged there calmly, smoke curling from her strange glowing tube thingy like she had all the time in the world.
Since normal staring didn't work, Chloe leaned in a little closer. Then a little more. Then a little more.
But despite how hard Chloe was staring, Sabine still said nothing, which only made Chloe more suspicious. She took two steps ...

People were clapping, cheering, and yelling her name. Chloe soaked it in like sunshine. But then more people started showing up, like, a lot more.
Some wanted to talk. Others wanted to give her stuff. And a couple of them kept using weird words like "exposure" and “sponsorship deal,” which sounded more like something gross than rewards. What eve...

Hello!
To get the big news out of the way. Starting Monday, 13th October, I'm going to be adjusting Chloe's upload schedule to 4x a week. The new schedule will be as follows: Monday - Wednesday - Friday - Sunday. The upload schedule on Royal Road will also follow this new schedule.
The reason is that I want to have more time to plan things out more. Because to be honest, I have been rushing some of these last few chapters.
Luckily, the...

Seeing Aleph up close, Chloe was starting to rethink some of her choices. She’d been brave enough to charge up to Aleph earlier, but something about him stepping into the arena now felt... different.
It felt like the entire arena shifted just to make room for him. Too bad she was already in it.
Aleph walked confidently across the sand, and he looked even cooler with flames curling up his fists. His eyes locked onto Chloe from across the ring.
Soon, the announce...

Aleph turned to face her, and Chloe lit up. Finally, Some actual progress.
But before she could even think of what to say next, the two staffers from earlier rushed her again. One grabbed her arm, while the other reached for her shoulder.
“Hey, knock it off,” Chloe said, twisting away. “Unless you wanna go flying again.”
They didn’t listen. So she started shaking them off harder, ready to toss someone if she had to. Didn’t they learn the first time?

With tickets in hand, Chloe skipped down the hallway. Raenof didn’t look nearly as excited, but there was a curious glint in his eyes.
The hallway curved and suddenly opened up into what the signs called the “arena stands.” The place had rows upon rows of seats stretched up in a giant circle, all facing a wide pit in the center. The arena floor was covered in sand, with a lot of sword and claw marks carved deep into the ground.
Raenof gently grabbed her shoulder and gu...

Raenof stepped around one of the corpses of the rat folk. “So… you gonna eat their brains too?”
“Ew, no way! Are you kidding? Look at them. Their brains probably taste nasty." Chloe said.
“Out of curiosity, what exactly makes a brain gross to you?”
“A gross brain is just… gross! Y’know? I don't need a reason. I can feel the gross.”
Raenof chuckled under his breath. “Alright, alright.”
They moved on deeper into the sewers. Ch...

The journey to Vorraska turned out a lot less epic than Chloe hoped. Raenof had dug through Sett’s corpse for a map and a number of other useful things before walking. Chloe, naturally, just tagged along.
At first, it was nothing but walking. Then Chloe suggested that she could probably just fly them both the rest of the way.
That whole thing lasted maybe a couple of seconds at best. Chloe tried her best, really.
But between trying to balance herself in the air and d...

Chloe was feeling real good about that last fireball. The wolves were already running away fast, with tails between their legs.
She threw her arms in the air with a grin. “Yeah, that’s right! Who’s scared now?”
But then she squinted at their retreating wolves. Wait a minute... they’re running kinda fast. Like, way too fast.
The realization hit. If the Thunder Wolves got too far, that meant no tasty brains for her. And that just wouldn't do. <...

Explaining things had never really been Chloe’s strong suit. She was more of a do first, maybe explain later kind of girl.
Honestly, it was times like this when she kind of, sort of, maybe missed Baron Willy a little bit. Because as much as he talked way too fancy for his own good, the guy was actually kinda okay at explaining things. Even if he was really boring most of the time.
Eventually, Chloe gave up trying to make things sound normal. Words weren’t ...

This latest evolution hit Chloe real hard. She blinked a few times as the world slid back into focus. And soon, the ground felt solid again under her boots.
She always felt good after an evolution. But this time felt different. Chloe felt almost like she’d been remade from the inside out. Whoa. I feel strong. Like, really strong. No, really really strong!
Weirdly, her body didn’t look that different though. She glanced herself over, same hands, same pale skin. E...

Chloe landed on the far bank of the river with a splash. She crouched low, straining her ears to listen for the faintest sounds.
The blood mage had vanished among the trees, but he wasn’t gone. She could feel it. Somewhere ahead, he was trying to vanish into the dark.
She pressed one hand to the dirt. A pulse ran through the ground, and she stilled. Her tremor sense swept outward, searching for a pattern. She ignored the animal movements, she was hunting for something upri...
