Cosmic Peak

Aren unlocked the Emporio Zone talent, and right after he did that, an intense headache greeted me before he felt dizzy.

A dreamy white-blue aura started to release from his body and enveloped him.

After five minutes of feeling dizzy, the blue aura started moving and gathered on his forehead before becoming a solid crystal.

[Congratulations on unlocking one of the core talents of your path, Emporio Zone. As a starter gift, you will be given a Blueprint box that contains a random blueprint from which you can craft a gear.]

[However, to learn the crafting process, you will have to gain its knowledge which you can gain after entering inside the Emporio Zone and reading the books on the shelf.]

The crystal had lapis blue color with light blue sparks in it and looked mystical.

Aren felt dizziness going away and felt something on his forehead. He first read the notification in mind before putting put his hand over his forehead 'what the...am I an alien now?'

He could feel that there was a nail-sized crystal on the center of his forehead.

However, he could feel a mysterious connection with crystal, and he used that connection to activate whatever it entailed.

*shuaa....*

Aren disappeared along with the sword he was sitting on while hiding amidst the branches of the tree. But in his position, a head-sized dreamy blue orb appeared.

After disappearing, Aren found himself in a strange place. He was in a football-sized ground with grass on it and nothing else except for a round blue orb from which he was seeing 360-degree view of outside from where he was previously hiding in the tree.

[If someone attacks the Blue orb outside, you will be immediately transported out to your previous position and will take damage to your soul.]

"I see...," Aren didn't see any blue orb outside, but he guessed that there must be a similar blue orb outside in place of his position, which allowed him to get the view of the outside.

He could also feel that he could go outside with just thought to his previous position, so he should be safe as long as he kept on the lookout for any attacks.

However, this place is supposed to be for crafting, so he won't be able to pay attention to the blue orb all time, which means that he will have to find a safe play before entering this Emporio zone.

'But it's fine for now since I'm just looking around, and the blue orb outside is even more hidden inside the tree since it's smaller than me,' Aren thought with a nod as he looked around and saw that aside from this football-field-sized grassy land and a red-wood bookshelf on the field, everything else was darkness.

He went to the border of the field and stretched his hand towards darkness only to feel an invisible barrier.

Afterward, Aren walked in front of the bookshelf that only had five books on the entire two meters tall and three-meter-wide bookshelf.

He stretched his hand towards one of the books, but right at the moment he touched the book, it disappeared, and a ton of information flooded in his mind, causing him a headache.

After a minute, the headache subsided as Aren sighed, "Although a bit painful but I like this fast method of injecting knowledge directly into the brain instead of having to read it for hours of time which I don't want to waste."

He then touched the other four books as well and gained the knowledge.

[Congratualtions on gaining the basic knowledge know how to craft gears. From now on, you will have to improve yourself.]

[Blueprint designing/creation device unlocked.]

[Gear design device unlocked.]

[Gear Printing device unlocked.]

Aren saw three thumb-sized silver-blue cubes floating in front of him and grabbed the first one before he infused Armalist force in it and threw it five meters away from him.

Right as that cube touched the ground, it shined and expanded before becoming a three-meter tall, complicated metal device with a digital screen, a table with various types of pointed tools looking similar to brushes and pens on it, and another table with a mystical blue slate as its entire surface board.

It was Blueprint designing/creating device.

Aren did the same with the other two cubes as they expanded after they touched the ground.

The gear design device looked even bigger, and it had a similar digital screen, three complicated metal tables with each of them having a square hole in the bottom, which Aren knew were for adding materials inside and shape them their design on the table's unique blue surface with the gloves hanging on the hook of the small shelf beside the three complicated metal tables.

Lastly, the gear printing device. It looked simple with a large rectangle box with silver-blue metal and blue vein-like patterns. Its top was open and had some space with a dreamy blue sparky aura while its side facing Aren had some buttons and the other side an oven-like thing as if you are supposed to put something in it.

Aren knew how these devices worked since he got the knowledge of it, but he was lacking core things to craft his gears, and that was...materials.

Without materials like various kinds of ore, metal, and such things, he can't start designing gears in the Gear design device even if he created a blueprint.

Aren wanted to try it out and also wanted to open the blueprint box, but he held himself back and focused on the current task at hand, which was about the strange situation at this Blood spring valley.

'My first priority right now is to repair the Destructo hammer with my mutant magic, Amber core of Eturnia,'

Aren took out the hammer and started repairing it while looking at the orb to see the situation outside. He could manipulate this blue orb, like rotating it or moving it with his thought, so this gives him a better view of the outside while staying here.

Since he was using the Amber core of Eturnia to repair the hammer by infusing the magic energy into it, he decided to do some practice and learn more about that mutant magic with his soul sense while keeping the lookout of outside with his eyes.
