inside the workshop chris was surrounded by all types of materials from ores to monster parts all of these was materialized using mana so they can only be used inside the dungeon. chris was in front of a pile of ores. there was iron, gold, silver, tin, bronze and all kinds of ores. Chris chose the iron ore and took about a hundred pieces then he went to the forge.
Chris decided that it is time to create his first item so he got the iron ores and placed them in the forge then he tempered it until he was able to compress all hundred pieces to 10 ingots. after looking at this ten iron ingots he decided what to create he started thinking for about five minutes and decided to create a hammer. he spent 5 hours creating this hammer and then he was given an option if he wants to put in on a trial where it will be sent to the past. this trial is normally only available for items that are unique or higher class items but all players who craft any item has 1% chance to send an item into the trial once a day regardless of it's rarity but if the item is unable to pass the trial it will be destroyed. it is a trial of time since the item will be sent back to the past , it could be sent as far as the beginning of time or just an hour before it was created. there is also a chance that it passed the trial but will not return, it could either be in to then possession of a somebody or it was used for something else like a seal or heirloom, since named items are items that has it's own story and not all named items that are created using the trial are powerful since all it does is pass through time it and was not used at all by anybody to do anything.
as for item classification we have them as trash as the lowest, anybody can create this item even a baby then we have the normal this items are created by apprentice level crafters then standard this is created by crafters that are from basic to advance level it is also divided in three categories which is basic , intermediate or advance based in the producer then we have rare which is created by master level crafters then ultra rare this is created by grandmaster crafters then we have the unique items and legendary items, unique items are items that are one of a kind items some of them could rival a legendary item it will never be able to win against one while legendary items are items that have earned their own story to become a legend and cannot be created then we have the named items, named items are items from unique to legendary items, for an item to be termed as a named item it has to have its own story for example a plain sword will be a named item if it was the sword that was used by a famous figure in history but being a named item doesn't mean it is a legendary item because legendary items are items that was used by a famous or powerful figure in history to create their own legend and all legendary items are named items, another thing that makes a legendary item more powerful is that based on its legend it will be bestowed with power that will represent its legend for example a sword that killed a dragon will have a natural deterrence against dragons and have a skill that will recreate how it was used to kill the dragon. legendary items are items that represent a legend so they have their own ego and can choose their owner and as long as the legend they represent is known to even one person all legendary items are indestructible and if their legend is made known to more people its power also escalates until it reach myth ranking in which they will have an item spirit that can materialize and use the item . other items that have their own story but are just possessions of a legendary figure will are epic items. also unique items are any items that doesn't have a duplicate but it doesn't mean it cant be duplicated and if it was duplicated then it will be downgraded as low as normal items. also all items that have a story but is not a legendary item are epic items since they don't represent a legend.
also for crafting when they reach the master level it doesn't mean that all the items they will make will be rare items, most of the items they will make will be advance standard items but will always be stronger than anything an apprentice level can make and for rare items they only have 50% chance of success in making it, for grandmasters they have 90% chance to make rare items and 49% chance for ultra rare as for anything above unique can be created by any level of crafter since the only condition is for it to be a one of a kind so if an item that was created was so useless that only one was created and nobody else wanted to make it again then it will qualify as a unique item, for legendary items as long as they can give it a story and a lot of people will believe them than it can turn to a legendary weapon since for legendary weapons they only have to have a story that they represent and it doesn't matter if it really happened as long as a certain number believe it it will become one and for a legendary item to maintain it's existence it only needs at least one believer but for it to become strong a lot of people shall know it's story
back to the hammer that Chris created he thought for a while and decided to try and send it to trial. after he sent it to trial a black hole appeared and swallowed the hammer the hole stayed for about an hour and then it closed and the hammer did not return. he was surprised by what Happened but it was as he expected, after that he continued to create a few more weapons such as swords, daggers and Spears. he created a lot of them and their were all types of weapons and this continued for a while.
outside the game he saw news about the game that was created. he found out that the world government was going to disallow all other games and have all those game producers to help to develop this game. it was also announced that only a limited amount will be released on the day it is launched and all shops will receive a random amount and some raffle will be done and the winners will receive the game and then every year the same amount will be released until the 10th year when it will be free for everyone. on another News it was also announced that a miracle medicine was created. this medicine will allow all humans to gain eternal youth but the are still not immortal and this was already tested and the first batch who tested it has already reached the age of 200 years old. some of them look like teenagers but most of them look like they are middle age people and based on their findings the ones who look like a teenager are those who got the medicine when they were in their teenage years as for the middle age people the oldest looking of them are the elderly when they got their medicine. another thing was that his father told him that every month until the game launch there will be more players that will be given access ahead of time this players are mostly the investors, the military and the popular gamers also since the game will be a massive collaboration with all of the game producers around the world and also the only game that will be active they will implement a program where you can suggest a story line or new content to the main system and it will judge if it will be good to implement it and based on it you will receive some benefits in game.
all this happened on the 2nd month since he started playing
