////////////////////////
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...)
......
...

Mistbound: Eternity
The world is said to be formed out of duality of man. Good and evil, right and wrong, light and dark. And with duality, comes conflict. A meaningless clash of ideals results in pointless wars. Azlan is wanderer who doesn't falls in either category. Tired and done with the redundant world, he lives his secluded life, hunting monstrosites for coin in the crumbling province of Mountaliya, situated in the land of Forsa. The premise follows Azlan as he explores the province, experiencing the culture and its people as they try to stand unshaken amidst a cold and unforgiving world. The story is a dark fantasy that is a balance of action and world building but most importantly, it follows the people going about their daily lives. The world has entered a state of stasis, there are no high stakes, no glory to be had, only a decaying realm of ice remains. Everyone awaits for Heaven's descent, an event prophesied to bring the world out of stasis, by granting the champion of the event a wish. Heaven Shall Descend. I wanted to write a high fantasy story that doesn't focuses too much on Magic and Swordfights, but rather interactions between people, a bit of politics and ideals. This is my first attempt at writing something this huge, please let me know if you see mistakes or any problems in general, so I can learn from them. (The cover picture is from the year 1818, "Wanderer Above the Mist" by Caspar David Friedrich). I also write Short stories set in the same shared universe. You can read them here: Dark Fantasy Short Stories.

Starchild
“It’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all.” from the song, Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell Starchild is an adventure novel set within an understanding of reality that is rooted in Eastern spiritual traditions.It takes as its starting point experiments in remote viewing that were genuinely undertaken by the American military in the nineteen-nineties under the name of the Stargate Project. It then imagines how a more advanced attempt to weaponise the capabilities of consciousness might have been developed in the present day.The story then explores how Ultimate Reality might respond to such a threat.Deep, elemental forces thus bring together Samantha Martin and Sahadeva Varma, old colleagues from the Stargate Project, to avert the apocalyptic consequences of this military attempt to weaponise consciousness. This fast-paced story spans genres including romance, action, adventure, science fiction and more. Although this story is based on concepts drawn from established spiritual traditions, these have sometimes been extrapolated to the point of very extreme speculation for the needs of an adventure story.Much of the underlying philosophy, however, as explained in the dharma talks given by Samantha Martin, is paraphrased from the guidance of respected spiritual teachers. Scheduling: Starchild is a previously unpublished novel of one hundred thousand words which was serialised in weekly instalments over twenty-five weeks from 15th November 2021 to the 29th April 2022. Each instalment contains five chapters – an average of approximately four thousand words in each instalment. Acknowledgements: All the mandala images, with one exception, were drawn by Brian Huggett using the Spirality mandala drawing application. The mandala associated with chapter 82 and which occupies the centre of the front cover of Starchild is attributed to Jgmoxness, CC BY-SA 3.0 , via Wikimedia Commons. The comet image is derived from a photograph by Marco Milanesi downloaded from Pexels. The cover image was assembled from these images by Brian Huggett.

Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.
