"You like it? I'm happy." The Chrysalis nodded to herself energetically. "I didn't like how cold that place below was. So I wanted to make this place as warm as possible."
"Cold, hm? That place below, if you didn't make it, do you know who did?" said Aldrich.
"The Shadows did," said the Chrysalis. The more I built, the more they built with me. I thought they were making fun of me."
"I see." Aldrich did not exactly know what this meant. What were the Shadows? If they were a part of his soul from the beginning as the Chrysalis had said, then were they just some other aspect of him? Perhaps his 'colder' side?
But then why did he lack control over it? Why was it separate to begin with? Questions, and more questions. He would consult the Death Lord later, once he finished whatever trial he had left in here.
I hope these chapters weren't boring! I had always planned on giving depth to my characters after the initial basic framework of bullied guy gets powers and gets vengeance, but I hope it still manages to be entertaining!
Just as a side note, feel free to check out my new novel! It's called "Arcane Ascent: Rebirth of the Abyssal Summoner" if you're curious!
Feel free to hop into my discord to ask me questions about the story, get chapter updates, character images, and more!
