Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (31)

Before Hell difficulty level 5 begins.

Weed entered the Legendary Library to use the points he had collected.

‘I don’t know what kind of stage it will be. I have to be perfect beyond just passing that stage.’

Korean instinct.

If you don’t defeat all the monsters and enemies that appear in stage 5 and don’t achieve 100%, it’s considered a failure.

‘First, I need to check what skills he has.’

Weed started looking around for some shopping.

A lot of skills are on the bookshelf.

Forbidden magic is extremely powerful, but it has many limitations.

I could bear it when the pain returned as a reward, like a mirror in the abyss.

Many forbidden magics require specific sacrifices, or are collateralized by life, vitality, stats, or a pact with a demon.

‘I could learn swordsmanship and magic, but it’s a bit disappointing… ‘

The power of regular skills, other than forbidden skills, is determined by level, stats, and skill proficiency.

When I first learned it, it was difficult to demonstrate strong power because my skill proficiency was low.

‘It’s such a shame that you can’t level up your skills with lightning strikes.’

(Did you cram before the exam, too?)

The artificial intelligence Versa was very interested in Weed’s past, which was unknown to him, and even before he was born.

Weed said confidently.

‘I didn’t study at school.’

(ah…….)

‘My grades weren’t bad.’

(It seems like you have a good head for studying.)

‘There were three kids in my class who were worse than me.’

(…….)

‘Instead, I did some lightning strike bear room work.’

Weed had more memories of deliveries and construction sites than of school during his middle and high school years.

Even in Nogada, there were quite a few lightning strikes to shorten the construction period.

There is nothing more refreshing than carrying bricks, sweating profusely, and receiving cash in return.

Viscount Noble of the Kingdom of Rebade

Authority and fame that commoners cannot enjoy!

Become a member of a glorious noble family.

You can look down on the commoners and slaves.

Hero Points: 20

The Legend Library also sold items of noble status.

It is said that you can obtain a good status by clearing the character creation stage of Hell, so there is no need to buy it.

(How about looking at the armor?)

‘That’ll be later.’

It felt like a bit of a waste to spend legendary points on equipment.

Equipment can always be replaced with better ones.

Moreover, even though the equipment wearing restrictions in Roanoke are low, the equipment obtained with legendary points is of the highest quality or higher.

Most of the items could not be worn due to level restrictions.

(I knew you’d spend your legend points like crazy.)

‘I have to save as much as possible.’

Weed had intended to make a full purchase before reaching stage 5, but upon arriving at the Legendary Library, he decided to use his points efficiently.

‘I’ve been used to living without anything since I was young, so I can’t use anything I want.’

Because of my past of poverty, I feel guilty when I overspend.

Even in real life, I couldn’t spend money recklessly, so considering the value of Legendary Points, I obviously couldn’t use them recklessly.

‘I guess I should buy some equipment.’

Weapons aren’t quite what you’d expect, but there are still decent bows, and armor doesn’t really help with hunting speed.

When you are starting to think about buying stats.

(You can obtain the Forbidden Trait from the Legendary Library.)

‘Forbidden trait?’

(Yes, these are traits that are generally hard to obtain. There are also traits that can only be obtained from the Legendary Library.)

He moved to the bookshelf where the forbidden properties were stored.

What immediately caught Weed’s eye was the trait of a ‘young genius wizard’.

‘Instead of your level or stats being permanently reduced by 30%… … your wisdom is doubled, and your magic power is strengthened by 5 times.’

If you use the Abyss Mirror with five times the magical power, all living things in the area will turn into undead.

Even a simple fireball would be no joke in terms of power.

For a wizard, it was a trait that was difficult to value.

(You should check the description carefully.)

Weed read the small print at the bottom of the booklet containing the characteristics of a ‘young genius wizard’.

‘If you use magic often, you will gain the weakness trait with a certain probability?’

The medicine contained the effects of frequently falling ill, feeling sick, and even fainting.

Weed didn’t want to have this flaw during battle.

There are hundreds of forbidden characteristics alone.

‘It’s a waste of time to look at them all. Are there any features you would recommend?’

(What about the Rhodoans’ bodies?)

‘What is that?’

(Gives you a strong body. Physical abilities are strengthened by 30% even when you have the trait.)

(When the trait is fully activated, it strengthens physical characteristics by 100%. Strength, agility, vitality, stamina, and even mana recovery speed are all improved.)

(This will greatly help your attack power, durability, and combat endurance. It is one of the best tier 1 traits that a human can obtain.)

(Moreover, the Rhodoan trait can only be obtained by a very small number of people born on Rhodoa Island. It is a rare trait that cannot be obtained even by completing quests.)

‘What price must we pay?’

(When you acquire a trait, 20 legend points are consumed. And every time a trait is activated, there is a certain probability that your hair will start to fall out.)

Weed was enjoying the benefits of a strong body while in Roanoke.

Balanced growth would be best, but that’s a luxury on Hell difficulty.

‘It consumes a lot of legend points. Are there any other side effects besides hair loss?’

Weed thought that there might be some hidden side effect, considering the genius wizard’s tendency to become sickly.

Losing hair didn’t seem like a big deal.

(As your level and stats increase, your body will become more muscular, your armor will increase, and your body will grow larger. This is based on human size, not to the point of becoming a giant.)

‘That doesn’t really matter.’

The fact that your body becomes larger and more muscular cannot be considered a side effect.

There were a lot of people who tried hard to build up their bodies by working out.

(But are you okay with your hair falling out?)

Weed did not experience any hair loss as he got older.

Although the body was transformed into an optimal body through human modification, there was no one in the family who lacked hair genetically.

Although I really liked free stuff, I didn’t go bald as the saying goes.

‘It’ll probably be okay.’

(I know that baldness is a very sensitive area for human emotions.)

Baldness not only causes stress to the person himself, but also causes many people around him to make fun of him.

‘Even if my hair falls out, it won’t all at once.’

I didn’t think I’d lose all my hair until the world of Roanoke was destroyed.

If I perish with all my hair falling out, then that is inevitable.

It is a trait that can increase character growth, but it has some side effects that you have to accept.

(In that case, I recommend obtaining the body of a Rhodoan.)

‘good.’

Weed gained the body of a Rhodoan and the legend points he had were reduced by half.

After much thought, I decided to turn my attention to necromancer magic.

‘I need to learn the dark rules.’

The magic of Barkan Demoph.

A spell that declares a realm of the undead centered around oneself, constantly resurrecting corpses as undead.

It could shine in large-scale battles, and was also good for creating variables.

The weakness is that it cannot be used against strong enemies with small numbers.

‘I’m sure there will come a day when I can use it.’

By clearing stages 3 and 4 of Hell, you will have the opportunity to obtain one piece of treasure-grade equipment each.

For that, I chose a carving knife.

(Even though you complained all the time, you still had affection for the sculptor, right?)

‘no.’

You need to create sculptures to accumulate legend points.

A choice based on efficiency for making a killing with sculpting.

Weed also opened his eyes to other fields.

‘If you look at it from the larger perspective of sculpture, painting, or art, it’s probably the same.’

If the sculptors in Roanoke are beggars, then it must be equally difficult for the painters to make a living.

(Painters are also poor. They cannot be compared to ordinary users who hunt or do business.)

‘It would be good for accumulating legend points.’

If you are limited in obtaining legend points through sculptures alone, you can also draw pictures.

Historically, there have been many artists who were good at both sculpting and painting.

‘There was a reason I didn’t succeed as a painter in Royal Road.’

The only art supplies I ever used while attending school were eight-color crayons.

The complex colors were all done by getting some of my friends’ leftover paints.

Since I never did art properly in art class when I was young, I lacked a sense of color.

‘Art is like sculpture, where you draw something by protruding from the paper. Like drawing an old castle, putting sand and stones on it and coloring it.’

Pictures that can be viewed in three dimensions.

Rather than expressing it only with color using paint, various materials such as actual wood are used.

(It’s called a relief. It’s a combination of sculpture and painting.)

‘I think it would be good to try something like that.’

(What about the color sense that you lack, Master?)

‘Can you help me with that?’

Painters mix paints to create a variety of colors.

With the help of artificial intelligence, it would be possible to create any color.

Usually, Weed just gives orders unilaterally, but this was the first time a question was asked for his opinion.

(I will thoroughly research the history of the art world.)

(From celebrities to unknown painters.)

(We will look at architectural and industrial designs from around the world and create virtual colors by combining various compounds.)

(We will prepare colors that reflect the unique colors of historical masters as well as recent painters’ trends.)

‘What I want is a color that is not too old-fashioned, but still preserves the beauty of tradition.’

(I will look for it diligently.)

‘If possible, it should be colorful and trendy. I expect it to be elegant and sophisticated, strong and chic, and bright and luxurious.’

(yes?)

* * *

The fifth test of Hell difficulty, ‘Brutal Survival’, is underway.

You, a proud knight of the empire, lost both eyes and your right arm and became a slave in the arena.

There is only one goal.

We have to survive somehow.

Objective: Survive for 30 days

Challenge: The Death of Duke Benhasmer

The fifth stage of hell has finally begun.

The moment I read the short message window, I saw nothing.

Everything went dark before my eyes, and there was no light whatsoever.

The whole world was filled with darkness.

“Wow!”

“Beno’s victory!”

“That bastard survived this time too.”

There is a loud noise and the smell of blood and dirt.

“Next is Rosarda.”

A middle-aged man spoke in a rough, harsh voice from nearby.

‘Rosar?’

Weed read the message window and learned that he had lost both eyes and his right arm in this test.

In fact, I couldn’t see anything, and I couldn’t feel anything in my right arm.

“Rosar! Are you ready?”

With the intuition he had accumulated over time, Weed thought that the rough voice calling him Rosar was probably looking for him.

“Yes, of course.”

First, I will try to answer with strength.

“Okay. Next time. Go and die coolly so the crowd can go wild.”
