Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (50)

Royal Road was a game that represented an era. People lived, grew, and fought in the game.

Those who have achieved great feats in Royal Road.

They couldn’t leave virtual reality games even after a long time had passed.

Pale: Long time no see, Lord Callis.

Kalis, the leader of the Black Lion Guild, a large-scale armed group in Royal Road.

Still boasting outstanding skills, he was active as a top 200 ranker in Roanoke.

Callis: Nice to meet you. What’s going on?

Pale: I feel like I need to ask you a favor.

Callis: If it’s a favor you ask, I’ll grant it if possible.

Considering Pale’s personality, I believed he wouldn’t ask such a difficult request.

Moreover, he is the type of person who, once he gets into debt, will pay it back no matter what.

‘It’s better to help and receive help from someone with Pale’s level of skill.’

It was when Calis was thinking so lightly.

Pale: Weed has entered Roanoke.

Kalis: What?

Kalis of the Black Lion Guild.

He was as surprised as when the Roanoke incident happened.

Kalis: Are you talking about Weed from Royal Road? Weed was doing Roanoke?

Pale: No, you are currently creating a character in Roanoke.

Callis: What the… … . Are you in your right mind, creating a character and logging in now?

Kalis regarded Weed as a rival, or perhaps a nemesis.

But Weed has been so quiet that no news has been heard from him for the past 20 years.

I couldn’t understand how anyone could create a character after Roanoke became a game of death.

‘Even if you wanted to play a game where your life is at stake, it’s too late.’

In this world, the sword and magic that could be used to exert force were the law.

Users who started first have already established a vested interest with their high level and fighting power, so isn’t it crazy to create a character now?

Pale: I can’t give you the details.

Pale: Weed received a sub-quest while creating a character, and he needs companions, so he’s asking for some help.

Kalis: Help… … .

Calis: It seems like he can’t solve it alone since he’s a beginner.

Callis barely managed to suppress her laughter.

If you’re a Weed who’s just creating a character, you’re going to have a really hard time from now on.

Because Roanoke is not an easy world.

‘Still, that’s true. Is my old skill all gone?’

The person who knows the skills of his opponents best is his competitors.

In Royal Road, Kalis has experienced Weed several times.

Looking back, it would have been impossible for anyone other than Weed to have destroyed the Hermes Guild’s stronghold.

‘It’s been over 20 years, and I’ve gotten older. I’ve been away from this world for so long, so I guess I’ve regressed.’

Calis was completely convinced by the various processes he imagined and thought it was a good opportunity.

‘It means that I can show off my current skills by making a small debt to Pale and meeting Weed.’

As a Roanoke senior, this is an opportunity to make you feel the difference in power.

I wanted to let you know that I was no longer the Black Lion Guild’s Kalis who followed you around on Royal Road.

Just seeing Weed’s envious expression on his level would give him an unforgettable thrill.

‘And if it’s Weed, then at least he’ll do that.’

In Roanoke, trustworthy people were rare.

It was calculated that if Weed adapts and demonstrates only 50% of his skills from his Royal Road days, he will become a decent companion or subordinate.

‘In virtual reality, the stronger a person is, the faster their character will grow.’

Just imagining the sight of Weed lowering his head and looking at her made his whole body tremble with joy.

I could barely contain the feeling of the corners of my mouth trembling uncontrollably.

“Huh… … .”

Callis smiled and whispered.

Callis: It’s only natural that we should grant such a request.

Kalis: When can I go?

He refused requests for help from fellow guild members, saying that it would result in a loss of experience points, but he wanted to meet Weed quickly.

Pale: He said he’d open a portal for you to move through.

Pale: However, it is recommended that you bring winter gear to keep out the cold.

Kalis: Cold?

Pale: Yes, since Mr. Weed said it was a little cold, I plan on taking a few things with me.

During his rookie days, Callis had faced off against a goblin wizard who used ice magic.

It was painful to be hit by magic, but it was also extremely cold.

Kalis: Ah, that’s about the level of story.

Callis: I’m ready whenever you are, so just send me a portal.

Pale: Yes, thanks for your help.

After a while, a blue portal opened.

A portal leading to the adventurer Weed was created by the power of the Trinity Goddess.

Kalis went straight through the portal he had been waiting for.

What I felt at that moment was an unbelievable cold.

It was so cold that I felt like my heart would stop and my eyes would freeze.

“uh…….”

My voice feels like it’s frozen in my mouth.

I looked around anxiously and saw that there was a city quite far away, and around it was an endless land made of ice.

With three ice storms that shake the axis.

“What the heck is this place… … .”

You have entered the frozen land that exists in the cracks of the rift.

Callis felt like he had been hit in the back of the head.

‘This is the crack in the crack?’

I gained a lot of knowledge while playing Roanoke, the rift is a dimensional boundary where demon species invade, and it exists along with distorted space-time.

A place that even the most advanced adventurers have yet to properly explore.

It was a space about which little was known.

‘You’re saying you’re creating a character in a place like this? How? Does that make sense?’

It was an unfamiliar place that even he, who had cleared the nightmare difficulty level, was completely unaware of.

At that time, user Roam came in through the blue portal.

The two had known each other since Royal Road.

“Oh my, it’s cold!”

Roam shrank back, screaming that he was cold.

He, too, came wearing only simple leather armor, like Kalis.

I was told to bring winter gear, but I did it to show off to Weed and show off.

I even thought about showing off by wearing light clothes in front of Weed.

“Wh, what… … .”

“Something seems seriously wrong.”

Kalis and Loam chattered and trembled.

I was already somewhat daunted by the cold, which felt like it was threatening my life.

The next one to log on was Pale, who was dressed in a thick animal fur jumper and cape. He was fully equipped for the cold, complete with fur gloves, fur boots, and a Yeti scarf.

Weed passed through the crack in the rift after sending them a summoning portal.

At the zenith there were several gaps that could lead to another rift, and I chose the burning ground.

A land where lava flows and volcanoes erupt.

The extreme heat was so intense that the cold I had felt just a moment ago felt like a lie.

‘Where is the purification of fire?’

(Mostly found on the tops of lava and volcanoes.)

To clear the sixth level of Hell, you had to explore three rifts.

Since the gaps in the rift are connected to each other, I went there to get the fire purification directly without using hero points.

Lava flowed like a valley on a mountain where volcanic ash was piled up so thickly that it reached up to the knees.

‘It’s a difficult place to walk up to, but it’s not a problem.’

Weed tied a rope to his dagger and threw it, launching himself.

As you climb the volcano, you feel the tremendous heat from the freshly hardened lava.

Still, it was easier to endure than the frozen ground where death would come if you stopped walking.

You have acquired the purification of fire.

Affinity for fire increases by 5.

Increases resistance to fire by 1.

You can create fire anywhere and give fire properties to your weapons.

Every time I climbed a mountain, I got 2 or 3 fire purifications.

‘The compensation here is pretty good.’

(It seems that the distorted cracks have not been explored. It is also likely that the fire purification is easy to obtain because the adventurer users have not arrived.)

If adventurer users came here, they would have swept away most of the items.

In the first place, there was no adventurer with a conscience anywhere in the world.

‘It’s called Hell difficulty, so it seems like a giant volcano should just erupt and stuff.’

(It’s quieter than I thought.)

Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occurred in the distance, and volcanic ash fell like rain.

A sight of fireballs streaming acrid smoke flying across the sky like meteors.

Still, having fully adapted to the frozen land, the burning land felt easy.

‘This is a decent place to live.’

A place where fingers and toes are not cut off.

Weed was able to discover several cracks in the volcano’s summit, and realized that he had broken the frozen ground at a higher difficulty than necessary.

A level of difficulty where you don’t need to learn the skill of bringing sculptures to life by collecting frostbitten fingers and toes.

The problem was that I thought I had to go there because there was a pole.

‘It wasn’t too bad, although it was a bit difficult on the frozen ground.’

(Because you’ve reached the peak and have achieved quite a lot.)

‘I wouldn’t have discovered the city and received the quest if I hadn’t gone.’

I have no regrets about the hard work that has passed.

Now that level and stats are so important, you have to achieve results no matter what.

(Master, you have me. I am always by your side.)

‘I guess so. But you’re not human.’

(I am not a human… but I can give everything for my master.)

‘Even the CPU?’

(Of course. The graphics card, memory, power, and even the motherboard are all yours.)

‘There has been a lot of flattery.’

Weed gathered all the fire purification and quickly returned to the frozen ground through the crack in the rift.

I didn’t spend much time because I was rushing as much as possible.

“It’s so damn cold… … .”

“Is this hell? Are we all going to die?”

There were five people sitting close together next to the ice pillar.

The winter gear that Pale had come wearing was evenly distributed among everyone.

Pale, Calis, and Loam.

Two users belonging to the Arpen Guild were waiting for hours, experiencing extreme cold.

“Is it right to trust them and proceed with an S-level difficulty quest?”

Weed, though not very trustworthy, walked towards them.

“Mr. Weed? You’re finally here.”

“Why now… … .”

It was so cold that I couldn’t even properly express my joy at calling you and my resentment at being late.

Weed piled up the pieces of wood he had collected from the burning ground.

A phrase spoken with one’s palm outstretched.

“fire.”

Hurrruk!

As the piece of wood caught fire, it began to transmit warmth.

By gaining the purification of fire, you can easily make fire.

“Oh, it’s warm.”

“Ah, ah. My hands are melting.”

The five unreliable people were busy warming themselves by the campfire.

Weed started grilling skewers to feed them something warm.

Skewers stuck into a tree, burning sizzlingly.

When a person feels cold, he or she craves to eat warm food.

“First, eat something to melt your body.”

Pale, Calis, and Roam. Two users whose names I don’t know were eating skewers.

There wasn’t much meat and there were a lot of bones, but it was very tasty because it was freshly grilled and eaten in the cold weather.

Pale asked while eating meat.

“It’s been a while, but Weed-nim’s cooking skills are still as good as ever. What kind of meat is this?”

“Hmm… … It probably tastes better if you eat it without knowing.”

“I just thought you might want to eat it again.”

“If you want to know, feel it.”

Pale activated his emotion skill at Weed’s ambiguous answer.

“emotion!”

Weed’s Finger Grill

Adventurer Weed’s fingers were deliciously grilled.
