The Steel Devouring Player

[DROPPED] I put a lot of thinking into it, and I decided to drop this novel. There are so many things wrong with this novel, an amount that I probably wouldn't even be able to count on my hands. I'm going to be making a new novel, called [The Killer Slime]. It will follow a slime boy in a new world, on that brings many surprises. The first arc will be totally different from this novel, and the second will have some similarities. While the following volumes will be going in a totally different direction to what you would have assumed that this book would've went. I hope you all will transmigrate there instead, but feel free to read through this novel if you so choose. I'm sorry to those who were looking forward to the rest of this novel. -PlaguesMom =============== [ACTUAL SYNOPSIS] He transmigrated and got the best blessing anyone could ask for.

Is Magic really just a wish machine? No! In a universe where Magic truly exists, the ultimate nature of Magic must be as simple and aesthetically pleasing as the laws of physics. This is the story of a mass-produced magical war tool who learned the ultimate nature of Magic. But what of it? Just as birds can fly without understanding aerodynamics, magicians can use Magic without grasping its ultimate nature. Learning the ultimate nature of Magic doesn't mean the tool can instantly transform into a great magician. But yearning for knowledge is a human instinct, and curiosity is the primary driving force of human civilization. Even for Magic, which should seemingly defy explanation, humans hope to understand its inherent operational laws. The pursuit of Magic's ultimate nature requires no reason! The story in this book takes place in an era where steel and gunpowder dance together. Here, firearms are on the rise; armor remains the main character; military theory is changing rapidly, with endless innovations in systems and techniques. And this world has something more than ours: Magic. The world is undergoing a profound transformation, and no one can remain detached from it...
