They all call me Great Master-Chapter 486 - 483 Anxiety Thunder, Puppet Reincarnation!
```
The soul sphere, the size of a ping-pong ball, emitted a faint glow that was not obscured even in the brightly lit basement three-level laboratory at No. 2 Cork Street.
After all, it was the color of a soul.
At any time, it was special.
And when it merged into the body of 'Anna,' the terrifyingly shaped puppet immediately began to tremble.
It started subtly, a slight movement every few seconds, as if it were a heartbeat.
But then it quickly intensified, pulsing several times a second, dozens of times a second; the body of the 'Anna' puppet even began to crack under the violent shaking.
'Has it failed?'
A deep sigh rose from the bottom of Arthur's heart.
In the skills he had received, "Soul Charging" and "Soul Tailoring," "Note 7" provided a detailed explanation: A tailored soul, when attached to an object, would retain no memories, and no matter what object it attached to, the success rate was significantly reduced.
Arthur had thought that with the strength of 'Glast,' proficiency in the rituals and secret techniques of 'The Pale Hand' and 'Theofact Psychic Cultivation Association,' his soul would surely be special and perhaps could improve the success rate.
But now it seemed that he had been too optimistic.
Looking at the soulful radiance spilling from the body of 'Lady Anna,' Arthur knew that to resurrect 'Lady Anna,' he would have to find another soul.
Of course, he would also need to find a master skilled in repairing dolls to mend the damage that 'Lady Anna' had sustained from the violent vibrations.
'Tate seems to know someone like that.'
A natural thought of the owner of 'Tate's Wand Store' floated up in Arthur's mind.
And what about Fengter?
This heir of a lord, who had a fondness for puppets, was naturally proficient in puppet repair.
But Arthur wouldn't bring the shattered 'Lady Anna' to him; given his obsession with dolls, he would probably demand to know who the 'murderer' was.
Arthur could not answer that.
He surely couldn't say it was himself, could he?
No!

How could it be him.
It was all 'Glast's' fault.
He had already contributed his spoils of war, corpse, memories—why wouldn't his soul let him take advantage of it completely?
He didn't have any plans like turning it into 'biokinetic, perpetually laboring' creatures.
He had been merciful enough, hadn't he?
Yet it didn't show any gratitude.
'Hmph, the young, upright, innocent, and kind me is always getting hurt.'
Arthur grumbled to himself.
And it was at that moment—
Boom!
A thunderclap in winter suddenly sounded.
This thunder was exceptionally abrupt and very loud, so much so that Arthur could hear it clearly even three stories underground.
Similarly, the dispersing soulful glow that was about to vanish suddenly retracted completely back into the body of 'Lady Anna.'
In her eyes, which had been dull, there now appeared a spark of life.
As Arthur watched in surprise, 'Lady Anna' opened her eyes and slowly sat up.
At the same time, lines of text began to appear—
[Name: Anna Kledos]
[Type: Puppet]
[Quality: Hero]
[Attributes: 1. Puppet Body; 2. Bone Fracture; 3. Distortion; 4. Death Qi Absorption]
[Requirement: Arthur Kledos]
[Remarks: Anna was originally crafted by Old Charlie as a 'decoration.' She performed the tasks set by Old Charlie time and again with remarkable efficiency, always managing to incite terror in those under her 'gaze.' Once you began interacting with her, her 'reputation' grew even further; nearly everyone who knew you, knew of her existence.
Fame made her different.
The infusion of 'Glast's' memory-less soul awakened her uniqueness in full.
She now possessed a soul, she acknowledged her name, and she adopted the surname 'Kledos.' Moreover, she believed that you, Old Charlie, Cassandra, Drake, Winters, and Linda Camille were all family, but she favored you most and was very willing to help you.]

...
[Puppet Body: Possessing extremely special doll traits, it can move silently, wield weapons for attack, and use some secret technique artifacts. Moreover, due to others' perception of 'Anna,' she can also perform short-distance instantaneous movement, flight, and telekinesis. Additionally, she is capable of self-repair using wood, but when facing thunder, she will move sluggishly and suffer threefold damage.]
[Bone Fracture: A residual trait from 'Glast's soul, letting 'Anna' shatter the bones of a creature with mere touch.]
[Distortion: A residual trait from 'Glast's soul, enabling 'Anna' to twist the perception of nearby creatures and even plunge them into illusions.]
[Death Qi Absorption: 'Glast's soul was shrouded by the 'Death' you wield; the fear of death in others turns into primal fear. However, for 'Anna,' the 'Death' you hold is akin to familial love. After killing hostile creatures, 'Anna' can absorb their death qi filled with fear, allowing herself to grow slowly.]
(Note 1: Because of you, Anna has a fondness for swords and has mastery-level proficiency. She can also use other weapons but only at a skilled level.)
(Note 2: Anna is currently unable to understand artifacts above the Arcane Level.)
(Note 3: Instantaneous movement doesn't exceed a radius of 5 meters, flight distance doesn't exceed 50 meters, and telekinesis is similar to a common [Hand of Void].)
(Note 4: Anna's body is only at the defense level of regular walnut wood; absorbing other woods can repair her but can't change this effect - the existing level must be raised.)
(Note 5: The Bone Fracture effect is fully effective against 'Arcana Level' enemies, 90% less effective against 'Great Arcana Level' enemies, and ineffective against 'Entrants'.)
(Note 6: The range of the Distortion effect is a radius of 25 meters.)
(Note 7: Death Qi filled with fear (0/100).)
...
Arthur examined the text before him.
Meanwhile, 'Anna' stood up. She absorbed the experimental table beneath her to restore herself fully before she carefully straightened her skirt and looked towards Arthur, saying in an extremely polite and gentle voice—
"Good evening, Arthur."
That gentle voice...
No!
One should say the intonation was identical to Arthur's.
And the demeanor and conduct were brimming with the Kledos family style.
'Anna Kledos?'
Arthur silently recited the added surname in his heart, a smile surfacing on his face.
"Good evening, Anna!"
With those words, Arthur gave a slight bow.
Then, there were no more words.
'Lady Anna' stood there quietly, like a well-bred young lady, while Arthur's gaze flitted over the [Remarks] section—
'Reputation makes her different.'
Reading this sentence, Arthur felt a surge of toothache.
'I knew it, in this world full of mysteries, one is bound to encounter all sorts of odd things!
'Reputation'?
Tsk, the incense of worship... no, should it be 'faith'?
Apart from Fengter, that guy, there are actually others who keep Anna in mind?
Ugh, those guys wouldn't really be so frightened by Anna that they dare not sleep at night, too scared to go to the lavatory alone?
And there's...
Death imbued with fear!'
Arthur focused on the [0/100] value, looking forward to what 'Anna' might look like after leveling up.
As if sensing some of Arthur's thoughts.
The demure 'Anna' suddenly cloaked herself in shadows, and her gentle voice turned sinister.
"Is there a bad guy who wants to make a move on our family?
Let me go eradicate their whole family!
I'll make them regret why they were ever born into this world!"
Almost instantly, the demure girl transformed into a ferocious and terrifying puppet doll.
But, Arthur was not the least bit afraid.
On the contrary, he picked up Anna and placed her on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, the Kledos family is not to be trifled with—and besides, we now have a rather important task to complete.
'Anna,' are you ready to continue making a 'big splash'?"
