《Winter Sovereign》Chapter 67; Chaotic Areas
Advertisement
"Speaking of which... I haven't heard of these Chaotic Areas in detail. Would you mind explaining them?"
Serra asked curiously.
"You don't know?"
Lilia asked surprised.
"Yes. It's my first time hearing of them."
He nodded.
"Well, that's not too surprising. Not many are eager to go to that place so only older people may know about it."
Lilia sighed.
"If this is the case, then we'll take our leave."
Luisa spoke.
Seileen and Aies nodded.
"Yes. We have some things we want to check out."
"I'm going to sleep now..."
They all took their leave.
Lilia sighed.
"As sect disciples, they alredy know about the Chaotic Areas."
Lilia explained to Serra.
"Oh."
Since they know, there's no point in listening.
"Well then... There's an old saying. Without conflict, there is no progress. The meaning here is that if there's nothing to fight, progress will grow stagnant. The Founder knew that, therefore, he created the Chaotic Areas. Places filled with conflict."
Lilia began explaining things to Serra.
"Without conflict, there's no progress? True. Without a sense of crisis, there would be no purpose in attaining strength. The Founder feared that a disaster would one day come and if there is too much peace, the various heroes would be complacent. Therefore, when calamity strikes, there would be no means to prevent it."
Serra nodded in understanding.
"That's right. Furthermore, to become Sect Masters or High Ranking Elders, they need to gain some accomplishments in the Chaotic Areas. Also... There's something else to worry about there."
"What?"
"The Magical Beasts."
Lilia said seriously.
"Hm?"
"You see. The Magical Beasts here, their growth is restricted so they don't pose a threat to humans. But the ones in the Chaotic Areas... They're growth isn't restricted so some very powerful Magical Beasts lurk there. A paradise of beasts."

A surprised look appeared in Serra's expression.
"There are a total of 12 Chaotic Areas. The most famous ones are... Shadow Abyss... Kieros Ocean... and Hell Volcano Range. These three are the most dangerous. The Shadow Abyss has many notorius criminals lurking there... Kieros Ocean has the most powerful magical beasts lurking in the depths of the ocean while Hell Volcano Range is pretty much uninhabitable by humans due to the temperature."
Lilia explained.
"The other areas are also dangerous but these three possess a danger so great that they're known as the True Chaotic Areas. These Chaotic Areas are dangerous. There are numerous deaths reported each year of promising youths and heroes. However... The Chaotic Areas are unexplored lands. Thus, they're rich in opportunities and treasures. That's why, despite the danger, countless individuals come to test their luck and fortune."

How to raise a Hive Queen
This story is about a newborn Hive Queen, which gets raised in an unexpected environment. The first part of the story will focus on her development and the challenges that come with it. Eventually she will start to produce her own swarm of hive creatures. The species of the Hive Queen is called the Sylv and they are a insectoid species with an hive mind. The Sylv can evolve themselves through extracting traits from other non Sylv creatures. This is limited to modify the basic set of creatures the Sylv can produce, they are not able to create completely new creatures. In this regard they are more like ants, who have workers, soldiers and queen ants. The Sylv live underground in so called hive complexes and use living structures in them to produce more of their kind. The Hive Queen is the leader of a Sylv Hive and responsible for evolving the swarm. This novel takes place in a fantasy setting and was inspired by other hive species like the Zerg from "Starcraft" made by Blizzard Entertainment, the Arachnea from "Her majesty's swarm" published on j-novel club, and the Vex from "I don't want to be the Hive Queen" by ValetheHowl. I really enjoy stories with an organic hive mind species and want to contribute myself. The focus and theme of this story will change as the Hive Queen matures and defines the goals she wants to achieve. If you like this story also check out my other fiction "To former Glory" here on Royal Road :D
