Eisen was standing in his workshop with his hands completely enveloped in hot metal. It wasn’t like it was hot enough to hurt him right off the bat, but after a while, even a dwarf’s hands would lose out a little bit. Once more, Eisen chose to increase the size of his body forcefully despite his hands being inside of the metal. He could feel the pressure increasing as his hands were being pressed together.It felt like they usually would have been broken and crushed into a single mass already. The old man was even taking a bit of damage through this, although he was quickly being healed by either Bree or one of Eisen’s potions whenever he lost a little too much."Is..." Sky started with a slightly nervous, wry smile, "...that actually working?" He asked, and Eisen turned toward him with a slight grin, "Surprisingly, it actually is. The rate at which I gain proficiency is much higher than if I were to just use my skills regularly." Eisen pointed out."And I was actually thinking of a way to increase the speed a little more." He added, before turning around and walking up to Morrom. The half-elf was currently working on a small enchantment-idea he had, and just raised his head when he saw the old man."Erm... yeah?" He asked, not able to avert his eyes from the mass of metal around Eisen’s hands, and the old man just lightly smirked at him, "Could I ask you to help me a little?" The old man suggested, and Morrom lightly raised his brows before just nodding his head."Sure, what do you need my help with? Removing the metal?" He asked, but Eisen simply shook his head."No, no. I can just melt this away if I need to, don’t worry. I need you to create a magnetism-enchantment on the ground that only attracts this specific metal." Eisen told him, and Morrom lightly raised his brows in response."And why exactly do you want me to do that?" He asked, even if he did technically understand why he wanted to go for this, "Right now I’m just making use of general abilities of my racial skills, the ones that I can use at any time without the skill ’technically’ being active. So I want to try and use my Giant’s Strength skill a little bit, at least." Eisen explained to him.Morrom lightly shrugged and accepted that as a proper explanation. That was actually a solid method that people with that kind of skill used to level it up, after all. The rest that was involved with this was a bit over the top, though.Morrom just spread out a layer of mana crystal on the ground and flattened it so that Eisen could stand on it, before simply creating the kind of magnetism-enchantment that Eisen asked for.The old man stepped onto the mana-crystal platform and then poured mana into it from his feet. Immediately Eisen could feel the pull on his arms. It was to the amount that usually, he would have expected his arms to pop out of their sockets on Eisen’s shoulders.But even then, Eisen was able to still hold out for a while, and then just activated his Giant’s strength skill. That actually made it far, far easier to hold out with this. So, Eisen increased his mana-output and with that also increased the strength of the pull directed at the mass of steel around his hands.Since the metal even pushed itself inbetween the gaps of Eisen’s fingers now, and Eisen just opened up a little bit of hollow space in the center of his fists, he was able to properly grab something like a ’Bar’ there and pull the mass of metal up on that instead of simply having it hang on his wrists. It was like that at first, and he was actually taking a fair amount of damage just through that. Not to mention, it hurt a fair amount, considering that Eisen was no actually capable of feeling pain in this world.The hot metal itself was pretty unpleasant, but because of his innate resistance to heat on his hands, it was still bearable to an extent.Either way, for now, Eisen just stood there, with a piece of metal that was far, far, far heavier than anything anyone had ever carried before on Earth just around his hands. He kept trying to increase his size and breaking through the steel over and over again, causing more and more damage to his hands. This continued for not only the rest of the day, but even the next day. Of course, while Eisen was sleeping, he had squatted down cross-legged and was just sitting on the platform instead of standing there, but it was still a fair amount.And around the evening of the next day, some notifications that Eisen really wanted to see finally appeared.[A Giant’s Strength reached Level 100 in Rank 4, upgrading to Rank 5][You have discovered who you truly are by diving into the depths of your racial skill.
