Progress Report for the Reboot
Yes, this is another piece of fluff.
Well, this is something Silly Loli, forced to write because she really didn't have time to write, wrote during her evening walk away from her family to appease you.
Lately, I seem to have been spending all my time on the toilet Yugi and writing...
I've roughly finished the outline for the beginner's village, but I haven't planned the subsequent development in detail yet. I don't plan to write many drafts during the summer vacation (I really don't have time...). I'll write a preface, and then start writing like crazy when school starts in September, so you can see the typing speed I've been practicing for a year and a half!
Next, information will be released:
The remastered version of the Bonded Weaponry will focus more on showcasing its conceptual abilities, so there will be some supernatural elements... Don't worry, there won't be any nonsensical or mindless plots where you can just yell and shout to get superpowers.
The storyline portrays him as the darling of the group, Kulik's character is essentially a blank slate.
I occasionally recall memories from before I traveled through time, but those are not important.
Borrowing from a pre-planned plot segment, Kulik's inner monologue:
I did all this not because of any Honkai Impact 3rd, but because of Kulik Iinward, whom I spent this short time with you.
(The dialogue will be modified in the final version, but this is the general meaning.)
Regarding the form of Bonded Weaponry:
Depending on the individual characters, the art style can be Kamen Rider, Ultraman, Super Sentai, Pretty Cure... basically anything! However, it won't be explicitly stated, but will only be expressed in the character descriptions.
Common morphological features: crystal on the chest, visible internal grooves on the belt, and crystals on the limbs.
The crystal on the chest will display the unique pattern of the current target. Ah, it uses the Stigmata pattern from Honkai Impact 2. I will post a picture later.
Oh, you said you saw the belt? That thing is just decorative; the focus is on the central groove.
It can embed Honkai Energy Crystal with different attributes to open derivative forms, such as Ice Judgment, Judgment Knight: Saintess Guardian... Did I accidentally spoil it?
As for how to obtain this crystal... what do you think? Go and run some dungeons, you good boy!
PS: Although Kulik doesn't work overtime (in my opinion), he is still worthy of being awarded the glorious title of "General Xing".
The crystals on the limbs... can't be used in the early game, but will be useful later when you have multiple armors.
Characters available in the beginner village (confirmed appearances):
This book is the workaholic, the god of war, and Kulik's favorite eternal version of the answer, plus his father, the Judgment Knight.
Image-based attack special effects design references: Ancestor Kevin, Gepard, and others I'll look for reference characters for...
New Armed Form: The user is currently kept secret. The design, attack methods, and special effects are based on characters such as Honkai Impact 3rd's Seele, Kamen Rider Decade's alternate account and new beach guardian Gisalis, and Zi-O.
(Just to clarify, this is not Bonded Weaponry with Seele...)
(By the way, Kulik also really likes using this armed form.)
(Ahem, the Bonded Weaponry in this book is really fun—in every sense of the word!)
Kulik's most disliked Otherworld Hacker
Origin: When Kulik and Kiana merged, he was a burden to the Kiana, but when he merged with Bronya, the Ya Ya were holding him back, and his combat power was even less than when he was alone.
(Because the timeline of this book is when Kiana and Sigfried have just parted ways, at this point in time, how many members of the original Honkai protagonist group, besides Kiana, would have the combat power to fight against Honkai?)
But after Ya Ya got the rabbit, Kulik also fell in love with this armed form.
Image-based attack ultimate skill effect design references: Starry Sky Silver Wolf, Qiang Ge Black Pot Hero limited edition skin, Exyde, etc...
The newbie village Siberia mini-boss has been confirmed: the Ice Emperor.
The final boss is still under construction...
