He should heal. But in his human form, it would not be as fast. His [Transcended] status still gave him 20% penalty after all.

He needs to eat. He is a mortal in his human incarnation.
Most of his time, though, was spent in the skin of Jack Night, the human. He walked the streets as a man, albeit a large, tough one. With a Steamrune Shotgun slung over his back and handguns holstered at his hips.

Only when in human form.
[Status Effect: Mortality: The inherent condition of all living beings, characterized by a finite lifespan and the susceptibility to death. This status effect signifies that the user is now bound by the natural laws of life and death, making them vulnerable to physical harm, disease, and aging. The user's mortality diminishes the effectiveness of any 'Mysterious Ability' traits by 40%. The status effect serves as a constant reminder of the user's vulnerability and the impermanence of their existence.]

Thank you for reading.
Whoa! Thank you. I miss-typed that one. It should still be 56. I've fixed it. Thanks.
Hello! As the author, let me shamelessly promote my book here. Q: What is this book about? A: It's a story about Sparrow Night, a big, stoic guy, and his younger sister, Canary, a tiny, energetic teen. They get caught up in supernatural cases involving surreal entities, awakening their own powers of mystery in the process. They quickly discover that their world is far more complex and dangerous than they ever imagined. Q: Who are the main characters? A: Sparrow is definitely a key player. He's normally silent and detached, but he can be surprisingly communicative when he needs to be. He's a reincarnated soul, but his past life provides more of a vague understanding than a dominant influence. Canary is also a central figure in the story. She's an upbeat, cheerful, and confident teenage girl, and it often feels like she's destined to be the hero of that world. Q: Are they overpowered? A: For the most part, no. They have powers that can feel like cheat codes, but they'll face plenty of challenges and struggles against tough opponents. They have to earn their victories. Q: What is the main appeal of the story? A: I'd say... the world-building. I've tried to craft a compelling world with a well-structured power system, unique characters, and an interconnected secret background. It might even be a little too detailed! I'm revealing it bit by bit as the plot progresses, but I think readers will find a lot to discover. Q: Are you using AI to write the story? A: I do use AI to refine my writing style, especially since I usually get a bit too descriptive and my choices of words can be a little unconventional. However, the core plot, character development, dialogue, and world-building are all original and come from my own imagination. Q: Why do you rate your book five stars? A: Because I think it deserves it! But seriously, give it a read and let me know what you think. If you don't think it's a five-star read, I'm open to hearing your feedback!

Recently Updated
Previously, it was called Reincarnated as a Supernatural Horror Entity. Jack, a content creator for mystery, horror, and conspiracy stories, died and was reborn as a formless ghost. He acquired the system-panel like ability to get stronger. He could earn new supernatural traits. And he could even evolve and gain new incarnations. The problem was... he was now in an alternate Earth. The one that was still in the Industrial Revolution Era. The one with cursed steam engines, monster-infested sea exploration, mysterious pirates, supernatural powers, mythical creatures, demonic entities, and completely different geography. Jack had to adapt and survive. Thus, the legends of the Circle of Jacks appeared in that world. Transcendent incarnations of Jack made their impacts in this new world... o Jack Mystery, the mysterious specter, o Judge Jack, the rakshasa of judgement, o Jack Night, the steamrune engineer and treasure hunter, o Racer Jack, the kamaitachi speedster vigilante, and o Jack Lantern, the devil puppet who decided to be a bizarre puppeteer. I will also be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com: https://www.royalroad.com/profile/36721/fictions If you, dear readers, enjoy the story and are willing to support my work, please visit patreon.com/Alkrishna. It should be about 15 chapters ahead there.325 Chs 634 Collections

The Rogue with a Toon Avatar
Jester used to be a content creator from 21st century Earth. He died though. And he was reincarnated to Sherra. Another world similar to Earth... before the internet and AI became commonplace. Well, even without internet and AI, Sherra was still a modern world. Yes. With cars and electricity. But beneath that layer of normalcy, it was a supernatural battleground. In this world, every human could awaken their Soulheart Gear. A bound object that might give them power. Power to fight against monsters, demons, and undead creatures plaguing the world. Jester's Soulheart Gear was Toonworld Watch. An object that could let him enter the chaotic and fun Toonworld. And bring items and skills back to Sherra. With this power, and the lack of entertainment in this world, Jester's ambition was clear. He was content creator before anything. He would create the greatest show for the world to enjoy.75 Chs 41 Collections

It's not perfect. If you are looking for an amazing story with great character depth, complicated plot, and flawless settings, this is not the answer. But if you're looking for a unique story with interesting power progression, uncommon plot development, and 'different' setting... it might be the one you are looking for. No promise though. Just try it.
