Every time I see this status, there is something bugging me.
The Prosthetic Earth leg.
Why does the lack of a leg affect the Brawn of all the body? That is what I always though.
But now I got an answer. The humanoid essence.
In the same way that Xiaoyan did it, I am creating a duplicate of the essence that left my body.
If that is the case, what would happen if I do something like this?
“Pure Mana Transmutation“ Linjian
[420 MP CONSUMED]
[This kind of transmutation will only last some minutes]
(That will be enough, I only want to test it)
I transmute the Earth leg into a Steel leg reinforced with mana and I appraise myself again.
“Appraisal“
...
[Prosthetic steel-mana leg (Brawn + 5. Level limit +1)]
[Now this is interesting]
“Hohohoo!“ Linjian
The material change did the trick!
Even if it was only by one, my level limit increased!
“This is good!“ Linjian
But I shouldn't stop here.
(Maria, what do you think about this?)
Her connection to the Book of Appraisal may lead to more information about this.
[It is a low quality work]
(Low quality? but I used the best steel I have)
Advertisement
[That is not what I meant]
(?)
[This could be a steel-mana leg, but you only got a Prosthetic steel-mana leg]
(Ah, I see)
The resemblance is not enough.
[Instead of doing a pure piece of steel, make some bones and muscles]
[Instead of a clean interior, create some blood vessels]
[Instead of using your mana handling from your hand, use it from the remains of your left leg]
I follow the instructions, and...
“Pure Mana Transmutation“ Linjian
[320 MP CONSUMED]
“Appraisal“
...
[Pseudo Steel-mana leg (Brawn + 9. Level limit +2)]
[This is a good quality work, but it can be better]
That was a good test run.
(Let's keep creating prototypes)
Tomorrow we will start to make the real one.
......
...
Intrinsically nonmagnetic.
Antibacterial properties.
With 10 times the Kinetic resistance of steel and 200 times the Tensile strength of it.
With high elasticity and flexibility.
With high thermal and electrical conductivity.
I choose this to be part of by body.
The strongest material in the world of Maria.
The wonder material, Graphene.
[You should be grateful for the ability to collect information from the Book of Appraisal, I only read about this once and very quickly]
(As an Earth Manipulator I couldn't be more grateful)
In her world this material was unable to be produced in quantity, so it never was used in the market.
But my Earth Manipulation is able to create it at will.
Creating Graphene cost me a hundred times the MP that steel needs, so creating a leg took almost a week.
(This is my master work)
A lower limb with diamond bones, Graphene veins, Graphene Pseudo-nerves, Graphene muscles and Graphene skin is on top of the table.
[Now we need the final touch]
I cut the circulation of blood from my left thigh by tying it tightly with a cloth.

“Book of Appraisal“ Linjian
Sitting in a chair, I prepare myself for what is coming.
(Without the Pain Assimilated this would have been impossible)
I use a scalpel to expose the nerves, veins and bones in what is left of my left leg.
“...!...!...!“ Linjian
And I connect them via detailed transmutation to the Graphene ones, one by one.
(Ggh, this is not pleasant)
[Nobody said that playing with nerves will be fun]
...
Lastly, My Transmutation of cells heal the open skin on top of the new skin.
[How do you feel?]
(...I can feel it)
I try to move it and...
(I can move it too)
Even trough it can move and feel, it is not exactly like a human leg. The Pseudo-nerves are only able to tell me the changes in temperature and the muscles move with a little help of my Earth Manipulation, just like I did with the Under Clothes Earth Reinforce.
“Appraisal“
...
[Graphene leg (Stamina + 30, Brawn and Endurance + 15. Level limit +20)]
[Mission complete]
(...No)
[?]
(It is not enough)
[Don't tell you are going to...!]
She got angry.
(Calm down, I am not going to mutilate myself)
[...uff, don't scare me like that]
(I am just going to take off the bad skin)
[I guess that is fine...]
......
...
Two weeks have passed since I got my new leg and now a new armor covers my body.
A 2.2 mm thick dark blue layer of graphene now replaces the burned epidermis of my skin. For a greater resemblance with my body, it contains pores of 0.05mm diameter throughout.
A Graphene helmet covers my face and a Graphene Breastplate covers my torso. But they aren't just armors, they are part of me.
Both the knight helmet and the Breastplate have veins and Pseudo-nerves inside them, My blood circulates in them and I can feel with them.
This is my new body now, this is the body that will face the immortals.
[Your Earth knight already inspired fear, but this one overcomes it]
My dark blue graphene armor has some pleats in non-joint places to increase my defense, making it look unnatural.
[You are going to make kids cry]
(...Maybe I can use a cape on top...)
......
...

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.

Re:Eclipse
Felix, an elite soldier, died in combat. He was one of the millions of people murdered every day by an unstoppable foe, who pushed mankind on the brink of extinction. His consciousness was stored in a secret bunker, but, by mistake, the transfer into a new body took five hundred years more than expected. Sadly, the only one available was of a short and weak teenager who died many years before. Many things changed in the meantime: magic, dragons, and other creatures that were once thought to be of fantasy are now common, and a new system rules on everyone and everything, allowing a person to enhance his body past human limits. He'll start again from scratch, trying to master it, but his time isn't infinite: mankind's worst enemy is yet to be defeated, and it's getting ready to finish the job once and for all.
