Ray grinned as looked at the orb he marked his current location, took a few steps back, and activated the effect, seeing two shimmering doorways pop into existence.
“Proficiency threshold reached. Incarnate threshold quest level three initiated.”
“You did it!” Freia shouted after seeing the portals appear. “I was sure that you would need to rank up your class again first, but you actually did it.”
“Yeah,” Ray said, continuing to stare at the shimmering purple object in his hand.
“Should it be glowing that bright?”
Ray’s eyes widened as he realized what Freia meant. A deep purple glow was growing from the object and the wearing noise increased.
“I can’t turn it off!” Ray yelled as the noise became deafening.
“Throw it in the back room quickly!” Freia shouted.
Ray burst into motion, bolting through the doorway and to the back room that served as Freia’s office. He threw the device inside and shut the large door not a second too soon as an explosion sounded from within. Freia ran around the corner with relief in her eyes when she saw Ray had made it in time.
“Sorry about your office,” Ray said.
“Don’t worry about it,” Freia said, walking over to the door and opening it. “That place was made to… deal… with… explosions,” she trailed off while looking inside.
“What's wrong?” Ray asked, walking over and peering around the door.
His mouth dropped as he looked inside and saw that everything in the office was gone and a small, perfectly smooth indent was carved into the floor.
“Well, I think you could sell that thing as a matter removal bomb, if nothing else,” Freia said.
“You're not mad about your stuff?” Ray asked.
“Oh no, it's not the first time something like this has happened and we are both in one piece, so it's not an issue. All that furniture can be replaced.”
The two spent the next several hours investigating what had gone wrong with the device, but still could not find any reason that it failed how it did. Finally, having to admit defeat, they started working on the next order that they had gotten. While cleaning up his workstation Ray finally remembered he had hit level 30 and quickly opened his threshold quest.

It was more or less what he expected after talking with Freia. Now was the time for him to put his plan in motion and see if he had what it took to remain a jack-of-all-trades craftsman. He finished clearing off the table space and checked his status one last time to make sure everything was ready.

He poured the last of his free points into wisdom as he went down the page. He was going to need as much mana as he could get his hands on for this next part. Finishing the setup that he needed, he told Freia he had reached the threshold and would need to try enacting his plan before helping her out. She approved and started work alone while Ray set out an array of items, each pertaining to a different artisan branch. He would have to be quick, with Freia’s help he was able to think this up, if he could complete a complex task from each branch in under two hours then it should be enough to grant him an evolution option where he remains an artisan. Ray let out a long breath, focusing on the task in front of him, then he began. His hands were a blur of motion as he quickly cut parts for and assembled a wooden puzzle box. Final time 13 minutes. He then moved on to a ring that he crafted a new spark for. Final time 7 minutes. He continued like this, completing one project after another before coming to the second to last one. This one would test his limits, as he would need to construct an item very similar to his gate orb, but this one was meant to explode into fire when thrown. He quickly and precisely cut channels into the orb until he was happy with the result. He then took time forming each magical ring needed for the fireball spell and infused them into their correct spots. Final time 36 minutes. Finally, he made it to the final project with over 42 minutes remaining. Now would be his greatest challenge. His hands blurred as he placed a plank of wood down and carved precise patterns into it. He then carefully inserted rods of still-glowing steel into the plank, charring the wood as they cooled and slotted into place. Next, he engraved each rod before picking up the spell manual for lighting bolt and carefully infusing it into them. He then opened his spark creation panel and grabbed a tablet that had auto repair on it. He infused the item with the spark and moved on to the final task. Ray formed the plank into a crossbow shape. Grabbing some string, he set out to souk in a mix of different strengthening tonics. He strung the weapon. Finally, for the last step, he opened his artisan panel and infused every point he had accumulated from leveling and his dismantle skill, reaching well over 70 points into the weapon
