''[[The Legend of the 10 Elemental Masters]]'' is more than a book. Created by Nick Smith (a.k.a. Ulillillia), it is a glimpse into his mind. Part literature, part video game, the very narrative of the story is exotic. [[Up to Eleven|A little heavy on the numbers, perhaps]], but nonetheless a fascinating read from the man who brought us Platform Masters and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25bjSoyXlw0 the five secrets of Bubsy 3D].
Line 10 ⟶ 9:
An evil force plans on subjugating the inhabitants of Earth using the raw power of the 10 Elemental Masters holding the planet together. Sensing impending doom, Knuckles, a small, purple extraterrestrial, heads to Earth to find the cause and save the day. Along the way, three teenagers, Ivan, Tu, and Tyler, join Knuckles in his quest. Despite having so little time to stop the unknown agent, they regularly take breaks and find [[Rule of Fun|fun things to do along the way]]. As they uncover the mystery, it seems like the mysterious force is always a step ahead of them...
Stuck in [[Development Hell]] since 1999, the basic format of a movie script was adopted in 2006, and the book stuck with
that format when it was published in 2009.

** Anybody who's read [https://web.archive.org/web/20170129062644/http://www.ulillillia.us/ Ulillillia's website] knows what they're in for with the chapter "A Pizza Break". Suffice to say, [[Author Avatar|Ivan]] does not disappoint them.

* [[Stat
* [[The Stoic]]: Knuckles speaks in a monotone voice and has almost no emotions, which is listed as a weakness in his stat window.
* [[Wiki Walk]]: Knuckles spends a while in Amazonia's library in front of a wiki interface, looking up all the info he can about the antagonist, {{spoiler|Seth King}}.
