The other item was an object that was similar but had a 'tradeable' statement with no expired date that was exclusive to those who were unlocking the easter egg.
"Now, I'll give you my personal quest. Check your status and I'll give you rewards." Foreln said to Arie and make a notification screen pop up.
.....
[Quest] The First Inventor.
Reward: Inventor Blueprint (Beginner weapon)
...
"What does it mean by 'I am the first Inventor'?"
"You have successfully passed the trials. You are officially the First Inventor. The others have to wait for the trials to open publicly after we have taken care of the document needed."
"What I mean is, has no one from the mainland or The Creators become the inventor?"
"We have tried it. But only through the simulation. The simulations are temporary. I have never become one, but my Master has chosen the 'Converger' on his simulation. Ah! Have I give you the information about the class branches?"
"Well, from the core information, I've known a little about the class."
"Haha yeah, but let's quit first. I will tell you the more specific things."
Foreln opened the door and returned back to his VPS. Followed by Arie.
He gave Arie a glass-like sheet with the information of the class branches.
It gained 50% bonus stats for any of your own-crafted core equipment and additional bonus from the specific class.
It had 2 branches of Trial Path. Master Artificer and Bound Recollector.
For the Master Artificer, it was split into two classes.
For the Bound Recollector, it also had 2 branches.
The information he got opened up a new field of vision to him. He began to ask some matters he wanted to know to Foreln.
Foreln explained how the warrior was dominant in using their strength, ranger for dexterity, and mystic for intelligence.
The inventor in this case wasn't dominant in one aspect. It was not supported by the three 'Gods' who represented the attribute itself. Fervor, Impetus, or Mana.
An inventor has to use a small portion of three attributes and made the path that was not dominant in any of those.
He also told that warrior gain 3 STR every level up. The other gained the same amount for their respective attribute. While Inventor gained +1 of every attribute.
He then continued with the main topic he most interested in. He asked about how would he got the other blueprint. The reward for finishing the quest.
Foreln told him that the blueprint was like the weapon for other classes and would be obtained from the loot drop. It would give either a blank blueprint or any other weapon including the inventor's core.
The blank blueprint could be made by high-level designers to create your own weapon.
"Designers?"
"It is under The Linker. 'Mentor', 'Designer', 'Merchant' are some examples.
After confirming some other things, Arie checked his profile.
'Profile'
But before his profile status appeared. A notification popped up. It said that he gained a new title and the higher grade title was applied automatically.

He checked the titles tab under the profile menu.
It showed two titles.
The first mentioned is a title with a common grade. While the latter was a mythical grade.
He then confirmed the grade with Foreln.
Foreln explained that there were 6 different grades. It was the same as the weapon and armor. The lowest was common. Mythical is the 2nd highest grade.
And with that, he stuck with the title.
'The title is so ugly.'
He also asked about the way to avoid being appraised.
There were items and skills to counter the appraisal skill and stone.
Assassins had the most skills to avoid being detected.
"Okay let's claim your beginner weapon. Now choose from the listed blueprint. You will create your own core afterward."
A virtual screen appeared before him. It gave lists of the blueprint. It sorted by their different category.
There were many kinds of weapons there.
Melee weapon. There were shields, swords, axes, rapiers, spears, etc.
Hunt weapon. There were daggers, longbows, crossbows, shortbows.
Catalyst weapon. There were staves, wands.
Each type had different models.
There were also other cores.
Converge and automaton has about the same list. There were wolves, rabbits, hawks, foxes, deers.
The soulshift listed wolves, bears, tigers, scorpions.
He read the list and confirmed some other things with Foreln.
He found that those were lists of beginner gift of all classes.
"Tell me if you have made your choice. We will enter the trial zone again."
He spent quite a time choosing his weapon. Foreln waited patiently on a chair he summoned in the white room.
"Okay, done."
Foreln summoned the gate once again.
The view was still the same as the last time they left before.
"Name the item you choose and imagined its form then poured your energy into the sphere."
"Do you have health potions?"
Foreln then goes to the white room and came back with a red drink in translucent glass. He drank it and restored his HP.
"Okay, I'll go."
He came closer to the sphere and named the item he wanted.
"Beginner Magic Crossbow."
He poured his energy into the sphere. The energy within the sphere shined brightly.
A blue scroll appeared gradually. He grabbed it and checked the contents.
Materials also started to appear gradually on the floor.
"Okay, you can continue with your work."
The one who said it was Arie, not Foreln.
Foreln could not respond directly. He was a bit flustered. Then he nodded with a smile after he regained his composure.
He left the trial zone and enter his VPS.
'The blueprint is a bit different than the previous game. There are listed instructions, components, and materials. How will the designer works then? It looks so complicated. Maybe they can cut the detailed instruction.'
He was deep in thought while working with the materials provided.
He began to shape the iron alloy. He created a small part of every section. He didn't create a whole thing on the base. It was divided into a different section.
He also took a chunk of wood and transmuted every part as instructed.
He continued to create the grip, the riser, and the others. The trigger was made from a crystal gem. It was not directly like the usual mechanical trigger. It was placed near the stock, in the trigger used to place.
It was a hole that fitted two fingers and also was used to help the grip. Insides were the crystal gem.
After he completed transmuting the parts as instructed. He began to transfused all the parts with the blueprint itself and became a whole complete crossbow.
Then he tried what was instructed for the final touch. He used his energy to integrate with the crossbow. The blueprint transfused with the crossbow confirmed the energy and became a tube.
The tube was gray in color, with the size of his palm.
