Chapter 955: Agreement of [Chaos] And [Order]
Gu Qing Shan stood in the air, silently waiting.
One minute.
After only one minute, he would turn into the Envoy of the [Plague Chaos]
The War God UI’s voice came: [Aren’t you being a bit reckless like this?]
“Why do you say that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
[Even if I can help release you from Chaos by expending 100,000 Soul Points, Chaos itself would not disappear and continue to exist in this world] the War God UI told him.
“I first have to feel for myself what [Chaos] is, then remove it and make my conjectures later—— this is the only way” Gu Qing Shan replied.
A bit more time later.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
A green UI suddenly manifested in front of his eyes out of nowhere.
This UI was exceedingly simple, only containing two lines of green text.
[You must first spread the plague within the world of the living in order to comprehend the wonders of Chaos]
[Everything starts from this moment]
After reading these words, Gu Qing Shan noticed something changed.
He sensed some sort of power attaching itself to him.
He opened his palm.
A small flame that gave off green mist appeared and slowly floated above Gu Qing Shan’s hand.
“Plague…”
Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself.
For some reason, he immediately knew about how to use and spread this plague.
The plague felt like it belonged to him, like something he was born with.
“How miraculous, quite a bit different from [Order]—— even though I didn’t agree to spread the plague at all”
Gu Qing Shan whispered to himself.
A small line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI, drawing his attention.
[It is nothing but a pile of garbage, no need to pay attention]
Gu Qing Shan was speechless.
But truthfully, this secondary [Chaos] wasn’t really that strong.
Especially when compared to the other secondary [Chaos].
Gu Qing Shan’s thoughts moved.
He flew up higher while determining where the next secondary Envoy of [Chaos] was.
All of a sudden, he activated [Ground Shrink] and vanished from the sky.
…
Within a certain graveyard.
Gu Qing Shan appeared.
Not too far in front of him, a figure was digging up a grave, trying to cut and steal the corpse’s limbs.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t say anything and just controlled his sword with his mind.
A flash of light appeared.
The figure was sliced to bits, losing its life on the spot.

A new notification popped up on the War God UI:
[You’ve killed the Envoy of Broken Bodies]
[This is a power of Chaos more powerful than the Plague; you’ve obtained 30,000 Soul Points]
[Attention, one minute later, you will carry the Broken Bodies Chaos]
Gu Qing Shan stood still and waited for another minute.
Another UI appeared in front of him.
This was a grey UI that had more options compared to the plague UI, but all of them were locked and inaccessible.
Lines of notification appeared on this UI.
[Envoy of Plague, your actions are unusual, but perfectly demonstrates the principles of Chaos]
[You can now obtain the power of the Broken Bodies Chaos]
[First, you must supply enough body parts for the Chaos]
Gu Qing Shan looked at it for a while.
He flew up and continued to search for the next secondary Envoy of [Chaos].
A few moments later, he determined the correct direction according to the received intel.
Gu Qing Shan vanished from the air.
He directly appeared inside a city.
Within a certain alleyway, Gu Qing Shan found the third secondary Envoy of [Chaos].
The man wasn’t doing anything, just standing and leaning on a wall.
He was showing off an indescribable smile.
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight and found that everyone within a one-kilometer radius was already dead.
“Did you kill them?” Gu Qing Shan walked forward and asked.
“Not me” the man smiled, “I didn’t kill anyone”
“I don’t believe you” Gu Qing Shan replied.
A sword phantom appeared and illuminated the entire alleyway.
The man was completely erased from this world by Gu Qing Shan’s attack.
By habit, Gu Qing Shan looked at the War God UI.
Sure enough, a new notification popped up.
[This was an Envoy of Chaos with great potential, the power he obtained was the Seven Sins]
“Seven Sins?” Gu Qing Shan was intrigued.
The War God UI replied: [Indeed. He is able to trigger the core of living beings’ sins simply by being near them, driving living beings to kill one another. Later on, this ability would evolve into a powerful Mystic-type Law]
[By killing such a monster, you’ve obtained an ample amount of Soul Points]
[You’ve obtained 200,000 Soul Points, deducting 10 Soul Points from answering your question, you’ve obtained 199,990 Soul Points]
[Attention, one minute later, you will carry the Seven Sins Chaos]
Gu Qing Shan stood still and waited again.

One minute later.
A colorful UI with all the colors of the rainbow appeared right below the War God UI.
Lines of notification had already appeared on this UI:
[You have grasped the true principle of Chaos]
[As true Chaos, you do not care about factions!]
[With your power, you are able to utilize the power of the Seven Sins Chaos]
[When you want to use it, it will silently trigger within the hearts of living beings]
[Please use Seven Sins as the main power of your Chaos, because it is currently the strongest among the Chao you’ve obtained!]
Gu Qing Shan shook his head.
He continued to think of the intel he received and searched for the next Envoy of [Chaos].
A few moments later, he vanished from the small alleyway.
…
Time slowly passed.
It didn’t take long for Gu Qing Shan to complete what he wanted to do.
The remaining two Envoys of [Chaos] also couldn’t escape from the fate of being eliminated by Gu Qing Shan.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan had already gathered 5 types of [Chaos], respectively they were:
[Plague Chaos]
[Broken Bodies Chaos]
[Seven Sins Chaos]
[Unsettling Times Chaos]
[Massacre Chaos]
Gu Qing Shan looked in front of his eyes for a moment, then couldn’t help but shake his head.
「 What is it? 」 the Earth sword asked.
It had been able to kill to its heart’s content today.
“It’s nothing, I’m just—— a bit dizzy” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Indeed, right at this moment, there were a total of 6 differently-colored UI floating in the void of space in front of him, almost completely obscuring his vision.
Beside the War God UI, the other 5 UIs were occasionally giving off tiny resonations with one another.
“How strange, there wasn’t any resonation when I collected 3 or even 4 [Chaos]” Gu Qing Shan pondered.
All of a sudden, the War God UI spoke up by itself: [This is an insane act, I didn’t think you would actually go this far]
“I didn’t either, I just wanted to check and see if there were any changes when so many [Chaos] of different levels were gathered together” Gu Qing Shan replied.
[The results?] the War God UI asked.
“The results were that they seem to be able to relate and connect to one another”
After saying that, Gu Qing Shan had a revelation in his heart.
“Wait a minute, if that’s the case…”
He fell into thought.
The [Plague] was able to trigger the birth of [Seven Sins] in the hearts of living beings.
The [Seven Sins] would then push people to kill one another, leading to [Broken Bodies] and [Massacre].
It would then lead to mass death.
Which creates an [Unsettling Times].
[Unsettling Times] would then create feedback and push the other [Chaos] to grow.
This was a complete process that would allow each of these [Chaos] to become stronger through killing.
[So you’ve noticed] the War God UI said.
“Indeed, it truly can’t be underestimated” Gu Qing Shan’s expression turned serious, “No wonder such a powerful Magic-type world was destroyed”
[In reality, there are hundreds of thousands of levels and forms of [Chaos], but all of them could perfectly combine with one another to create Apocalyptic power] the War God UI told him.
[Gu Qing Shan, you’ve thought of and managed to achieve something that many of your predecessors have failed to do, but there is still one more crucial point regarding the secret of Chaos that you must find out by yourself]
Gu Qing Shan noticed the solemnity within the War God UI’s voice.
He couldn’t help but asked: “Why can’t you tell me directly?”
[I cannot tell you because this is the rule, a trial, an agreement made by both Chaos and Order. This single secret is mutual kept by both sides, so regarding this, I must also respect their will]
[Gu Qing Shan, you must figure this out yourself]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised to hear this.
The War God UI had always been very strict with keeping its secrets, going as far as taking Soul Points from him for asking questions, so it very rarely said so much to him on its own initiative.
Which meant, a secret that the War God UI was so serious about that it was actively hinting for him to figure out must have incredible value.
Then——–
What exactly did I not pay attention to?
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
I’ve already gathered the 5 kinds of secondary powers of [Chaos] that were scattered throughout this world.
So what exactly did I miss?
After a while, a flash appeared in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.
“I’ve figure it out”
Gu Qing Shan said.
[According to the rules, you must say it out loud] the War God UI told him.
Gu Qing Shan spoke: “I’ve collected the 5 kinds of [Chaos], but I’m still missing one thing”
[What is it?]
“The one who sowed the seed——- the true Envoy of [Chaos] who led them to descend into this world”
The War God UI went silent briefly before replying: [Exactly]

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!

Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road. If you don't want to wait for updates or would prefer to read it on Kindle, you can pick it up for free here: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B01066TLC0
