After few hours, Manav stood up with the help of his intact arms.
He started wandering the room by dragging his body here and there.
The room was quite large.
After hours of wandering Manav collected few books and put them in front of him and sat there.
Manav picked up the book randomly and opened it and found that he can't understand a word in the book, this book has no picture or diagrams in it.
Manav threw it aside and started picking and opening other books.
"Huh? Even these types of books exist in this world, really I guess whose book it is, I will guess it later, first check all of these books, whether something is useful." Manav put that book behind him and threw other books which was not useful to other side.
[Synthesis object found]
When Manav picked up a exquisite book, system prompt sounded immediately.
"So this book is item or something, but one thing is definitely sure is that this book has an ability, let's first try and see." Manav picked up the book and inspected it.
He found nothing extraordinary, except that this book is written on puppets, like a learning book, with varities of diagrams and pictures of puppets and there body parts.
Manav chose his mana core as the main synthesis object.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." Suddenly a piercing pain penetrated his soul and Manav yelled inwardly with tremendous pain.
Like his soul was pierced by unknown number of needles.
After dozen of minutes.
The pain subsided and Manav glanced around with sigh of relief.
[Object found: broken puppet not able to work, fully broken, even a garbage factory owner will not but it, just a decoration for mechanical garbage heap.]
[Object found: broken scalpel, used to cut the circuit of puppet, now broken, no sharpness, good for cleaning your ears if you don't fear tetanus.]
[Object found:...]
Like this several prompts appeared in front of Manav's vision.
Manav was shocked at first, after reading the prompts he was relaxed.
Manav saw the system panel.
[Synthesis complete]
[Ability obtained: Puppet Engeneering/Mechanics]
[Puppet Engeneering/Mechanics: Enables the user to analyze puppets and identify weaknesses, strengths, and enhancement opportunities. As proficiency increases, the user gains deeper insights into a puppet's structure, providing methods to improve its overall functionality or specialize it in specific fields (e.g., combat, agility, or craftsmanship). Higher levels unlock the ability to identify advanced upgrades, hidden flaws, and optimization techniques. The Proficiency Meter determines the depth of analysis, while the Level System unlocks access to more complex and powerful enhancements.
Starting Bonus: Provides basic analysis for low-tier puppets and suggestions for minor upgrades.]
Manav was surprised after reading the panel information of new synthesized ability.
"Wow! What a huge jackpot." Manav started to analyze everything in his sight.
After quite a few dozen minutes, he was bored.
He dragged himself in front of a half broken mirror and picked it up, and aimed it at his legs.
[Puppet legs: blown away, suggestion is that to find a compatible leg the size of normal adult human and attach it with, these tools.]
[Tools:
1. Runed Precision Screwdriver Set
Engraved with runes to tighten enchanted screws without disrupting magical circuits.
2. Arcane Tweezers
Made of aetherium or similar magical metals to safely handle enchanted or cursed components.
3. Mystic Soldering Kit
Includes a soldering iron capable of repairing both electrical circuits and runic etchings.
4. Runic Engraving Pen
For repairing or reactivating magical glyphs or symbols etched into the puppet's structure.]
Manav was confused after seeing the list of repairing tools needed.
[Activating searching mode, please use this option to scan all the surroundings of your to quickly find the tools]
Manav nodded and dragged his body around the huge room full of mechanical garbage heaps.
After hours of roaming around he gathered the tools needed.
"Here." Manav said.
[All tools are broken, but I will guide you to fix them for immediate use.]
Manav nodded and picked up the Runic Engraving Pen, and panel appeared again.
[Runic Engraving Pen please remove the nib and ink from it, put the other pen's ink into it, and put the nib of that half broken pen into this one, and here is your immediate use pen ready, next]
[As for Mystic Soldering Kit, remove all the broken times in it and put the usable ones into that intact kit box]
[Same for screwdriver set]
[Repair the tweezers using the existing materials.]
Manav started repairing the tweezers by the projection showed on his vision.
After hours he did the repairing.
Manav found two human legs size puppet legs and started repairing their interior by the projection guide.
Another few hours he repaired the legs.
"Now it's time to put these legs on." Manav said to himself and picked the left leg first to attach.
Manav fixed the mirror on the stand by using the tools so he can see the situation while connecting the legs circuit to his body circuit.
This time it took manav dozen of hours for connecting the magic circuit because he can't turn his head down and connecting the circuit by watching into the mirror is even hard for experienced veterans.
After connecting the left leg, manav started attaching the leg joints and it's outer armour to his upper body.
Another few hours was spent, and he finally finished the world of left leg.
Manav started the work on his right leg.
It took the same amount of time to connect the circuit and attach the joints and outer armour to upper body.
Manav tried to stand up.
They Puppet Body stood up slowly, not quite synchronised with the surf of upper body.
"Well atleast I can walk, I will upgrade the whole body after going out of here." Manav comforted himself.
"I will definitely let that goddess experience the same life as mine after she threw me here and cursed with this puppet body." Manav said to himself thinking of three white figure of that goddess without any curves.
Manav walked toward the direction the exit door is.
...
(Another side of The Castle)
Slash*
"What are you doing? Chosen one! How can you hurt me, when I am helping you to gain the inheritance of puppet emperor?" The little fairy said holding her seriously injured body, lying on the ground, her wings broken.
"Hahaha, what a joke, chosen one! Hahaha, do you really think I am chosen one, a great greaaat warrior who will defeat the demon emperor chosen by abyss to invade this world, nah I have found this boy with great length, you know how much of a coward that goddess is, she thinks she can create a chosen one with good talent and guide him to rise to strength slowly and defeat the demon emperor and finally, make that goddess... well telling whole story is quite boring, but you already know so, now I will use you a vessel body of goddess to call her here." The boy who has grown the horns and sharp fangs said to the injured fairy laughing hysterically.
Fairy gritted her teeth and wanted to say, but before drops of dark blood started to fall on her.
These drops of dark blood flowed and create a Runic diagram on land.
And it began to shine with eeery dark.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." The fairy screamed with tremendous pain.
...
"Huh? Who dare to ilhurt the vessel body of this goddess and kill the chosen one." Goddess raised her head and said with anger on her face.
"First I have to choose new chosen one, before checking the situation with vessel." Goddess calmed down and threw a orb towards the continent projected on the table in front of her.
After doing this she stood up and flew toward the direction her vessel body is.
And this direction was pole opposite of the continent where she threw the orb.
...
"Hahaha, hmm?" The demon was laughing hysterically, but stopped and smelled something in air.
"Hahaha, interesting, very interesting, I can smell the hate with very great amount towards the goddess, okay I will leave the body of goddess to you to enjoy the hate you have against the goddess." Demons laughed and started to change the small diagrams in big diagram.
Swish*
Goddess appeared and saw her vessel body died, she glanced at the demon laughing hysterically.
She snapped her fingers, and demon turned into ash.
And demons ash fell on the ground.
Goddess raised her hand and pointed it toward the died fairy.
Her hand started to shine with green ethereal light, but suddenly it halted and the green light started to be sucked out of her body in great amount like the door of an air filled room was broken in the middle of empty space, and air was sucked out of the room.
"No! What is happening?" Goddess questioned to herself and tried to hold her hand back and stop the diagram from sucking her powers.
But nothing happened and all of her powers was sucked out and body of the vessel fairy turned into bloody orb and disappeared out of the things air.
Goddess lost her consciousness and fell on the ground.
...
After a while Manav came in the front of a fallen body clumsily.
