Is Ben gonna do Saiyan gravity training after that Reflect twerp got the drop on him?
Or even training with his own Gravity skill like he was thinking about?
Is Darla going to knock some sense into Jesse? Or is his stupidity a partnership ender?

When he was getting his medical check and AI it said his headband was broken and looked like it had been cut cleanly through

It's just missing the word bigger. He took bone healing then a pool, but wanted a bigger pool to work with

His head was strapped down at rank 1. So head at 2, ankles at 3 and 4. I'd have to pull up my notes but I'm pretty sure this is right.

6 months before book 3 starts preview chapters
Daniel Schinhofen
2024-11-01 19:36:18 +0000 UTC
No when they hit rank 4 he upgrade it to have blood pool so he had healing broken bones and blood pool unlocked

Just finished heavenly chaos 1 and 2 last night and came straight over here to start book 3
Alric
2024-11-01 16:01:33 +0000 UTC
i think it was because it needed upgrading to get blood pool maybe
saynt
2024-11-01 06:43:14 +0000 UTC
I agree but it wasn't just Skippy it was all his bullies in school as well. Skippy was just the worst and I say he got off easy
SirZek
2024-11-01 06:21:47 +0000 UTC
Maybe during the fight he had already used what he had in the blood pool and at that point was saying if he had a larger blood pool? I see what you are saying though especially going back and reading it again.
SirZek
2024-11-01 06:18:25 +0000 UTC
Ok so i don't think my calculations are wrong but they might be, but are we missing a snapped blood band? In the first book when ben gets his AI he had nine one each ankle thigh and forearm that's 6 and then one on hips and chest that's 8 plus the one that first snapped on his head that's 9. After reading the second book again I noticed After they reach rank 4 and Ben talks to cell he mentions that both ankle bands are snapped and he expects the forearms to be next but if that's the case then we are still missing a snapped band. Rank 1 was the head, from rank 1 to 2 it was an ankle and rank 2 to 3 was another ankle what band was snapped from rank 3 to 4?
SirZek
2024-11-01 06:09:47 +0000 UTC
I loved the book, but wonder if I'm misunderstanding something. In Chapter 29 Ben says, "I went with the blood pool for Blood Healing", but then in Chapter 46 he says, "If he had a Blood Pool to use...he would have needed Blood Healing as a core Soul skill." Did he or didn't he take the skill?

It was great, and also every time Benedict says anything about ignoring pain, I want to set Skippy on fire 🔥

So I wasn’t able to get the preorder, but since the book came out today, I wasn’t able to put it down…I hope we get to see more of Jesse in book 3…I love the way Ben and Atropos’ relationship is working out, but I hope he gets that poison immunity soon

AL 4, where the ripples start to get really big?
jmundt33a
2024-10-30 19:50:12 +0000 UTC
This was an awesome book. Small question, how is mana calculated? I’m confused by the 8 point gap between Atropos and Ben. Is he behind by one base point in each component stat? Is it Cognition and Deftness?

For anyone wondering, it looks like KU follows the standard Amazon time, meaning everything is released at Pacific Standard Time, unless otherwise stated.

This exceeds all expectations I love HC. Can't wait for the next one. But happy for Al next all these books are just soooo good. I cant tell if I love HC more than AR or if they are equal anyone else having this problem?
Jo
2024-10-30 06:55:43 +0000 UTC
Is there a set time for release? I’m waiting to binge it, but it doesn’t seem to be released yet. I’m in Eastern Standard Time and it’s 1:00 AM now.

2024-10-30 05:01:03 +0000 UTC
I just started reading the book but I think this is my favorite line ““He could do more than temper me,” Sadie purred, giving Benedict a wink. “Before tempering comes pounding and shaping.”

Do we have any idea if this will publish at or near midnight or will we be waiting for around 6-8am?
Jonathan Campbell
2024-10-29 20:16:54 +0000 UTC
From what has been stated in book 1 he will gain a physical characteristic from his bloodline on reaching rank 4. The full unlock is at rank 10 if I recall correctly. I’m guessing that the more Cell becomes integrated with him he can probably start communicating more effectively and share more information with Ben.
Jonathan Campbell

I read the title incorrectly and thought the book would release 3 days early for members not the pre-order :/ now to drink my coffee in sadness lol.

Got the preorder in…are we going to find out about Ben’s bloodline more in later in this release? Or does that come later? I have my own assumptions about it (dragon), but it would nice to know

artistic creativity is fun. i think the hammer axe is very cool. i just was wondering about it possibly showing up in the future.

In the first book the axe he bought had a spike to balance it because it was mentioned that the spike wasn't quite sharp enough to puncture the sweet spot on the gators/crocodiles what ever they are lol

Damn. The note on page count being goofy is heartening, but still. Damn.

I think that axe is the one he bought after their first swamp delve in Book 1.

Daniel Schinhofen
2024-10-17 15:08:36 +0000 UTC
David- it's roughly the same length as HC1. Amazons page counts aren't always accurate.
HC2 is about 10k words shorter which is never 100 pages.
Daniel Schinhofen
2024-10-17 15:07:38 +0000 UTC
You know what... that's absolutely fair, you wouldn't really want the cover to be dominated by vines. I wasn't even thinking about the cons of depicting them full sized.
Shane Lee
2024-10-17 15:07:35 +0000 UTC
Shane- Adding twelve-foot vines from the head would have been amazing, but there are some limitations to make it work as a cover.
David- I let the artist make a weapon he was happy with that still worked for Ben.
Daniel Schinhofen
2024-10-17 15:05:33 +0000 UTC
Can't wait, the 30th can't come fast enough though I will say atropos' helmet is pretty funny looking lol I would have imagined just a simple leather helm or something. Also I'm wondering if that axe/hammer combo is a reward from the mock war. It looks handy but then he doesn't have anything to punch into the crocodiles head.
SirZek
2024-10-17 02:59:22 +0000 UTC
yeah it says it was countered by a spike about halfway through chapter 59. it would be cool if that was the weapon sadi makes him, but those are supposed to be rank five, so he wouldn't be using it in the delving tournament.
DW
2024-10-16 16:01:41 +0000 UTC
Was the axe also counterbalanced by a spike? I know the hammer was, but I don't remember the description. Also I'm not sure but maybe this is a level 5 axe for after the delving tournament.
Shane Lee
2024-10-16 13:41:40 +0000 UTC
im wondering about the weapon he has. both his hammer and axe are countered by a spike. What he has on the cover is something new.
DW
2024-10-16 13:28:30 +0000 UTC
almost a hundred pages shorter than hc1. According to Amazons listing.
DW
2024-10-16 13:25:16 +0000 UTC
My only gripe, which is minor, is the vines look so small! Unless they can retract and spool up inside the alligator's head.
