Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

—–

“Alchemic Clay?” I wondered. “Did your uncle taught you how to make it?”

“Yes, where I live, Gumstone is very rare so it was always expensive… Alchemic Clay can be used as an amazing component for not only weapons and armor but also even potions of high quality.” Sighed Emeraldine. “Many magic items use this!”

She quickly held the Gumstone in her hand, looking at it with fascination.

“Then I’ll mine some more!” I said.

“Sure thing! I’ll be inspecting things out!” She said, looking from afar.

“Alright then!”

While feeling pumped up about being able to make interesting items through alchemy, I began smacking the walls in front of me while trying to contain myself. The power was still devastating, but not enough to make the ceiling fall apart.

CLASH!

CLASH!

CLASH!

RUMBLE!

After three hits, an enormous opening appeared in the walls, as rocks and ores began falling to the ground, shining brightly with many colors. Wow, this really is relaxing! I can jut smack away all my problems away! All the pent-up stress, everything! I’m gonna just smack and smack some more!

“Inventory!”

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

I quickly gathered all items into my inventory and quickly dismantled them while I continued smacking the walls in front of me. I heard that Dwarves simply broke through the mountains until the found “veins” as they call these big caves with many ores at clean sight, so I just had to do the same anyways.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

RUMBLE!

More stones fell apart by the hit of my pickaxe shattering everything within my sight, as I quickly began delving into the depths of the mountains, whenever there was too many stones and ores lying around, I used Inventory!

“Inventory!”

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

All items teleported inside my Inventory, and quickly were automatically dismantled.

Like that, I continued mining and mining for roughly three hours consecutively. I had a lot of pent-up stress over all the things that had been going on lately, so I really felt like just mining away anything I could find, I ended using almost my full power as I began to descend through the mountain once I ended breaking through its wall and appearing outside of it. If I wasn’t a ghost I would had fallen to my death, oops!

When I regained my consciousness from my crazed mining frenzy, I found myself inside a deep cave, it seems I had dug roughly 100 meters down and ended falling over a large cave that was being illuminated by big, five-meter-long mushrooms. There was the soothing sound of water flowing and I found a big lake inside the mountain.

“Phew… Just how much did I end up mining?” I wondered, as I quickly saw my Inventory, it was now filled with an amazing amount of Ores!

“Wooow! I got a bunch of new stuff as well! What the heck are these ones? I recognize Silver and Gold but the rest?”

[White Glowing Stone (F Grade)]

A special stone often used as a cheap illuminating device. It can also be used to craft lesser magic items to imbue them with the light element. It can absorb Mana to keep itself glowing.

[Wind Emerald (D Grade)]

A precious magical jewel imbued with the element of wind, when infused with mana, it will generate a variety of wind gusts which can be manipulated by the one infusing Mana. Often used for flying vehicles and popular for magic accessories for Wind Magicians, but it can also be used to enchant boots for faster travel.

[Earth Topaz (D Grade)]

A precious magical jewel infused with the element of earth, it is incredibly resilient and once infused with Mana, it generates a magical shield over the surface of what it is touching, increasing their defense. A popular jewel used in equipment such as armor and accessories.

—–

[Furnace Stone (E Grade)]

A blazing stone imbued with the element of fire, when touched, it will quickly absorb mana from the one touching it and begin flaring with a lot of heat. It is often used in furnaces to warm them up and generate enough heat to melt ores. It has a high value between Smiths.

Huh, I see, so the first one is like an illumination devise? But it seems quite rare, I didn’t got as many. And the other two after that are like the Rubies I have, imbued with wind and earth, those must be godly for equipment, isn’t it? And lastly, Furnace Stone! It is rather self-explanatory, but I feel like I am getting drawn into the world of mining, how many magical ores are out there? Too many… Well, there’s four other Ores in here, and these seem even more valuable.
