“What is this, a crafting game?” Muttering under my breath, I used my power. “[Earth Control].”
Morphing ten chunks of iron ore from the earth was an effortless task for someone who had mastered creating diamonds and firing them as bullets. Diamonds would have been my first choice to use, but the requirements specifically asked for ores, and diamonds were not ores.

Upgrade Commencing…
The clay door changed gain, the iron melding into it with despicable ease. The handles became smoothed iron, a keyhole appeared on the door along with hinges, and the clay color shifted to gain a slightly metallic tint.

Something told me that it would take several dozen more upgrades for the door to become something special. I was ready for each step.
“[Upgrade Door.]”
Certain items are required to upgrade this door further:
Any Ingot x100
“One hundred ingots?”
Could I mix and match?
“Let’s see… [Earth Control] and make twenty steel ingots, twenty copper ingots, twenty aluminum ingots, twenty silver ingots and twenty gold ingots.”
By the time I was finished, my MP had drained to the single-digit numbers. The task of creating ingots was slightly more draining than creating ores and firing diamonds, but it was still doable. The one-hundred gathered bars of different metals stood before me, and I felt something click. [Earth Control] enabled me to create and shape earthen ores into their finished industrial forms, bypassing the majority of processes that would require a smelter and an obscene amount of heat to gather.
I’ve been underutilizing this ability.
For the most part, all I did was use a diamond to create my [Diamond Bullet] attack, but I could also create different versions. A silver bullet, for instance, and although gold and copper were useless to fire as projectile weapons, they were both excellent conductors of a certain thing called electricity. Aluminum on the other hand was lightweight while being highly durable, and there was no shortage of uses for it.

I fed the ingots into the door, stood back, and waited.

The door shimmered. The numerous metals were now applied to it breathtakingly. Enamored with gold and silver for the eye-catching parts such as the knob and knocker, adorned with the iron and copper for the bolts and internal mechanisms, and decorated with a soft aluminum coating for the lock.
With finger-trembling trepidation, I opened the door.

Unique Fast Travel Method Unlocked!
You may now instantly travel to any door or gate you have previously used.
Fast Travel Options Available:
(*) Fort Zyvar Gate – Fort Zyvar
(*) Enchanted Hybrid Door – Hlahan Forest
Fort Zyvar lay beyond the door. All I needed to do was focus on it, and I saw it, Fort Zyvar, the entrance, wide and open, unguarded and free.
They never bothered to have people guard the gates because to walk straight through it was considered suicide. So, no one would be anticipating a person suddenly strolling through the open gates.

It was time to introduce the nightmares of Alamir to the finer arts of modern warfare.
Chapter 9: The Second Coming
The earth thrummed softly with the sensation of a hundred marching feet. Left, right, left, right, left, right. Each impact against the soil reverberated the mechanical discipline and unity of a force that was not at all human. The trees had to be leveled to make room for enough of them to stand, side by side, fifteen in a row, fifteen in a column. Organized according to element, then, according to military type, it had taken me the better part of six full hours to complete them. I cheated, as I had to, sitting within a door had the effect of instantly refilling my mana and hp, and thus, in a sense, granted me infinite mana.
Metallurgy Master was the name of the special effect my Enchanted Hybrid Door possessed. The ability to use, create and manipulate any metal without the need for a forge or flame, for twenty-four hours. Without it, it would have been considerably more difficult to have completed my little platoon of warriors in the amount of time I did, and it would have been outright impossible to outfit them with the necessary weapons needed for the job.
“Tungsten Golem Infantry, salute.”
The earth shook, the feet of the six-foot-tall, humanoid golems stomping into the earth, right hands going up to
