Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (103)
You have to hold the world’s axis and hold it for two hours.
‘Easy to say.’
Become the giant Lotva and lift the world’s axis without any of the level, traits, equipment, or stats you’ve accumulated so far being involved.
‘But even if something looks easy, it’s often difficult when you actually try to do it.’
Weed had the body of a giant.
He thought he was on a high mountain, but even his own body was incredibly huge.
(When measuring the master’s body, the height was 350 meters.)
‘Really? It seems like your body is quite big.’
Although he was wearing only short leather pants, the well-developed muscles of his upper body and thighs were visible.
When Rhodoin’s body is activated, it becomes muscular, but now it is like an athlete who has consumed a lot of male hormones.
He must hold up the axis of the world with his muscular, huge body.
Tiring!
We need to start lifting the world’s axis in under a minute.
“hmm.”
Weed had no time to hesitate or hesitate, so he walked to the axis of the world.
I was worried that the ground would collapse every time I walked, but it only shook the mountain and the stone floor sank.
‘It’s hellish difficulty. And physical work is always hard.’
I had experience working part-time at a moving company when I was a teenager.
Moving has never been easy, from moving refrigerators to furniture like sofas and small items.
A job that required lifting and carrying exercise equipment and all sorts of heavy objects.
“When you use your strength, it’s always a trick. Don’t lift with your hands, but lift with your body. If you just try to lift it, you won’t be able to use your strength for long.”
Although the team leader was an old fart who loved noodles, he taught us how to lift heavy objects well.
‘I started liking noodles because of the movers who worked hard at Nogada.’
Weed realized that it would not be as easy as he thought and grabbed the axis of the world with both hands.
I tried to hug her to my chest and lift her with my body, but she wouldn’t budge.
On my first day working at a moving company, I remembered the overwhelming feeling of having to move the washing machine by myself.
‘This is going to be difficult.’

Roanoke was a vibrant young community.
The legal age for accessing virtual reality varies from country to country, so users must be at least 16 years old and in their 20s.
They are the NG generation in society.
They were called the so-called ‘no good’ generation.
“This?”
“why?”
“Me?”
“Do I have to do it?”
“You don’t like it?”
In the eyes of teenagers and people in their 20s, modern society was a really good place to live.
All the hard, difficult, and dirty work was done by robots.
When there is a drought, flying robots spray water from the sky or make it rain.
When the price of fruits or groceries went up, Unicorn Mart automatically lowered the price and sold them.
“Life is so good.”
“Even if you study hard and get a job, you won’t be as productive as a robot.”
“Who made that robot?”
“Robots will make it.”
“If you are diligent, you are the only one who suffers.”
“No, no, no. Let’s play for the rest of our lives.”
“When you get older, you’ll regret playing when you were young? Just play until you die.”
Even if the NG generation doesn’t work, society still runs, and even if they don’t work hard, there is a welfare system in place.
“Loa… … Knock?”
“This is a world of dreams and hope.”
With the virtual reality gaming boom resurfacing after more than 20 years since the heyday of Royal Road, younger generations are starting to take to Roanoke.
From the younger generation’s perspective, it was difficult to catch up with the older generation who had accumulated assets in reality.
To them, money and power are things that can only be obtained by being born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
The place to quench your thirst was the newly opened Roanoke.
“A new world where everyone starts equally.”
“I have to be the best.”
“You have to be strong to break the heads of those you don’t like.”
The NG generation grew up in Roanoke, hunting, leveling up, and forming guilds.
The overwhelming fun felt in a world where destruction is approaching, rather than a stuffy and boring reality.
And then the Roanoke incident happened.
“Oh… … .”
“My life is ruined.”
Some people were trapped in the city, saving food and money to survive, while others were trying to become stronger in order to become powerful.
While some users form guilds and engage in external activities, others quickly become accustomed to living in lawless areas and establishing and following their own laws.
Large-scale lawless zones emerged throughout the kingdom.
“If you think about it, my life was a mess.”
“It gets even worse like this.”
As security in Roanoke deteriorated, more and more incidents occurred each day.
Users attacking or killing other users was common even before the Roanoke incident.
It just turned into complete death.
What changed significantly was that the destruction that had only been heard of in words felt a little more concrete.
The Void Tribe has emerged.
A void of emptiness roamed the field.
This fairly powerful tribe, having fled from an unknown world called the Void, knew how to use portals and had a taste for human flesh.
When users were caught by them, they had their limbs cut off and were roasted or boiled whole.
“This is how you die.”
“It’s really scary.”
“I don’t think it tastes good.”
These were the last words spoken by the users with their limbs tied before being impaled on wooden skewers.

For Daye, her mother’s statue was a new world.
The masterpiece sculpture was created, and the blessings of Goddess Saraswati did not stop while creating several more sculptures with Seoyoon as the model.
“I absolutely love it.”
Daye cheered.
It’s like riding a bike up a steep hill and then getting into a high-performance sports car.
Seo Yoon’s sculptures rarely turn out to be a failure.
Statues that gods covet, kings want to see, and nobles want to keep.
“Even if I made a good statue of my father, it was hard to sell… … .”
Daye had to earn money to buy materials to create a statue of Weed.
Although it was difficult to even cover the cost of materials for sculpture, the artistic value of my mother’s sculptures was dozens of times greater.
‘Am I a late bloomer in my quest for sculpting?’
Daye also began to suspect that her skills had improved.
I tried making a statue of my dad as a test, and this time it turned out to be a masterpiece.
A statue of an adventurer who achieved amazing feats.
Does this mean that the masterpiece sculpture did not appear before the feat of saving the Kingdom of Rebaid was accomplished?
“dad…….”
Daye learned a little bit about her father’s secret to success as a sculptor from Royal Road.
“You sucked honey while carving your mother.”
Since I was little, I’ve imagined a lot instead of having memories of my mother.
Imagining your mother hugging you.
I enjoyed spending time with my dad, but I wish I had a mom like other kids.
Of course, I didn’t say it out loud in front of my dad.
‘A sculpture about mother… … .’
Daye created sculptures using various materials to express her longing for her mother.

Weed was unable to use the traits and stats he had accumulated in Hell difficulty.
It was only natural, since he was possessed by the body of the giant Lotva.
There are 10 seconds left to lift the world’s axis.
“Ewwww!”
There is no time to relax when progressing through Hell difficulty.
Weed lowered his knees, shouted, and lifted the axis of the world with his arms, legs, and entire body.
There are 5 seconds left to lift the world’s axis.
We need to properly lift the world’s axis.
‘Did you hear?’
I was lifting an absurdly heavy pillar, but time was running out.
“Eww!”
Weed raised the axis of the world above his head, cursing.
It didn’t just feel like I was lifting something heavy.
The feeling of an enormous weight pressing down on your body.
And it was a struggle to survive with all my might.
Lifted the axis of the world.
The 9th level of Hell difficulty begins when the world’s axis begins to shift.
You must support the axis of the world with the body of the giant Lotva.
If you can’t last 2 hours, you fail.
The challenger loses a life and fails character creation.
The world of Roanoke will be affected by the Broken World Axis.
Weed was a weight that was completely incomprehensible.
My back hurt so much it felt like it was going to break, and my arms and legs felt like they were going to be torn off.
It’s not about enduring and holding on.
Only by exerting all one’s strength could one lift the axis of the world.
‘This is possible? How?’
Weed was first embarrassed in Roanoke.
Since I’ve been using my body a lot since I was young, I had a rough idea.
Because it was impossible to lift and hold this much weight for two hours.
(Checking out your new body, Master.)
(All the muscles in your body are activated. You are currently using almost all your strength.)
‘There is no room for leeway. If the challenger is not sure that he will fail, there must be a solution.’
Weed wanted to check.
“Character information.”
Name: Lotva
Race: Mythical Giant
Title: The one who upholds the world
Level: 888
Vitality: 1,530,000/1,530,000
Mana: 74,000/74,000
Strength: 4981 Agility: 521 Stamina: 1897
Magic: 131 Luck: 51 Soul Power: 4999
Constitution: 879
Possessed Traits: Vitality Regeneration, Giant (Level 12), Ultimate Power, Seed of Life
Vitality and mana were beyond common sense.
Vitality and toughness that allows one to remain unmoved even after being attacked by numerous enemies.
However, the high stats in the character information were passed over as is.
It didn’t matter now.
(I have figured out the possessed trait. The giant’s body grows bigger and its strength increases. Currently, there are no users who have passed stage 3.)
(Ultimate power exists in religious records. It means the one with the most powerful power.)
(The seed of life is something that can give birth to a special child.)
(There are no users who have Vitality Regeneration. It is assumed to be a trait related to recovery.)
Weed was unusually relaxed.
“Characteristics confirmed. Vitality regeneration.”
Vitality Regeneration: Instantly restores spent strength and stamina.
Fortunately, strength and stamina are infinite.
No matter how much strength he exerted, the giant Lotva’s body never got tired.
To lift the axis of the world, one had to endure the excruciating pain of having one’s whole body twisted under a terrible weight, while at the same time exerting all one’s strength.
It’s not a question of how well you do.
A gateway where you have to endure and squeeze out your strength without resting.
Weed felt as if his concentration, which had been somewhat slackened, had come back to life.
For the first time in a long while, I have to take on a challenge that requires me to give it my all.
‘How much time is left?’
(1 hour 58 minutes 11 seconds left.)
When you’re doing something really hard, even a minute can feel like a long time.
When you are conscious of the passage of time, it passes more slowly, and even if you hold on with all your might, time seems to pass more slowly.
‘Hold on with all your might… … and hold on. Hold on again.’
The muscular body of the giant Lotva was expanding to its full size.
The muscles in my arms swelled so much that they literally burst.
My arm muscle is torn.
Strength is reduced by 3%.
“Eww!”
Weed screamed without realizing it.
The axis of the world became much heavier, and I held it with my head in the face of danger that seemed as if my body would be crushed.
My arm muscles have recovered.
The giant’s resilience quickly healed the torn arm muscles. But this time, it felt like my back was going to break.
It feels like my spine is going to break and burst.
Weed had endured extreme pain during his bio-modification, but now he was exerting all his strength.
Mental power was consumed much faster.
(Master, I will try.)
The artificial intelligence Versa could not stand to see that sight and stepped forward.
‘Try it.’
