CHATBOT: Chapter 5: A Hybrid Hope Months passed, and Arden seemed to be losing hope that he would ever be able to break free from the cruel grip of Void and reclaim his love, Evangeline. As he continued his training, he drew weaker and more desperate, realizing that his strength was still no match for the Grim Reaper's power.
