Read Chaos (Sycophant Hex) Stories in Google Play Books
To read a Chaos story in Google Play Books, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and upload the file to your Play Books library. EPUB downloads are free, and you do not need to install anything.
Download the Chaos story as an EPUB
Find the story on chaos.sycophanthex.com. Its address should look like this:
http://chaos.sycophanthex.com/viewstory.php?sid=1234Copy the full story URL and open the Chaos story downloader.
Paste the link into the box. WP Downloader will detect the site. Select EPUB, choose whether to include the story’s images, and download the file.
You do not need a Chaos account. WP Downloader downloads the whole story from this site, so it cannot download a single chapter or a list of stories. Its support for Chaos and the other fiction archives was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.
EPUB is free for everyone and works with Google Play Books. You can also create a PDF, although that requires a free Discord sign-in. Google Play Books accepts both formats. WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.

Upload the EPUB to Google Play Books
Google Play Books accepts DRM-free EPUB and PDF files. You can upload the story from the Play Books website or the Android app.
Upload from a computer
Open the Google Play Books website and sign in. Start an upload, then choose the EPUB from your computer or Google Drive.
Once the upload is ready, open the story from your library. You can read it on the Play Books website or in the mobile app.
If the upload fails, the file may be too large. Google limits upload sizes, and a long story with many images can produce a large EPUB.
Upload from an Android device
Download the EPUB to your Android phone or tablet. Open the Google Play Books app and use its upload option to add the file to your library.
When the upload is ready, select the story from your library. This works well if you downloaded the EPUB directly to your phone and do not want to move it through a computer.
Read on an iPhone or iPad
To read the story on an iPhone or iPad, upload the EPUB through the Play Books website from your computer or Google Drive. Then open the Google Play Books app on your Apple device and select the story from your library.
The uploaded file can also be read on the web and Android.
Keep your copy up to date
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already have. If the author adds chapters, return to the Chaos downloader, paste the story link again, and download a new copy.
Upload the new EPUB to Google Play Books when you are ready to read it.
Other e-readers use different steps. See the guides for sending Chaos stories to Kindle or reading Chaos stories on Kobo.
