Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (61)
Weed learned about various emotions through his married life with Seo-yoon.
We found happiness in cooking delicious food, decorating our home, and watching movies and dramas together.
Especially the way Seo-yoon smiled brightly at him.
The sight of her holding her daughter and looking at her with eyes dripping with affection was something no one in the world knew about except for Weed.
‘Seo-yoon became a mother. She was the most beautiful thing in the world. She had an expression that only I knew.’
A sculpture that is kept in my heart.
The reason I never feel like giving up no matter what hardships I face when I come to Roanoke.
Even as I pulled my fingers and toes off the frozen ground, I missed Seo-yoon.
‘It’s okay if you don’t notice my struggles here. But I can’t stop trying to save my daughter who resembles you, right?’
The pain and fear of death were not properly felt.
I just keep moving forward because there is something I must do while I am alive.
The happy times I spent with Seo-yoon were always as comforting as a bowl of noodles that I kept in my heart.
‘Let’s make a sculpture of Seo-yoon, a happy person who only I know.’
I always put my heart into making sculptures of Seo-yoon. But making sculptures about her was boring.
I decided to create a sculpture as large as my longing for Seo-yoon.
‘Let’s make it really huge.’
Weed began creating sculptures using the massive ice mountains that formed near the ice storm.
Seoyoon’s happy expression on the frozen ground is a sculpture that no one else could create.
Because it was Weed who made her smile.
‘Would I have been smiling like this while looking at Seo-yoon? I would have been smiling. Even though he may not have been handsome.’
Weed carved the ice with longing and affection.
There is softness in her jawline, nose, and even her eyes.
A spectacle of the world’s most beautiful woman being made into a sculpture of her happiness.
Sarasvati, the goddess of art, music and wisdom, praises the sculptures you create.
Art stat increases by 4.
Sarasvati, the goddess of art, music and wisdom, cannot take her eyes off the sculpture you are creating.
Art stat increases by 2.
Saraswati, the goddess of art, music and wisdom, blesses the sculpture with greatness.
Durability of sculptures increases by 100%.
As the mountain of ice was carved away and Seoyoon’s sculpture took on a more distinct form, the goddess Sarasvati became more and more violent.
She constantly gives blessings and rewards.
‘The art stat is good. In Royal Road, you need to complete a sculpture to increase it.’
(It seems to be influenced by other users. It seems to be because of the Roanoke incident and the complete decline of sculpting and painting.)
Sculptors and painters had to find a way to survive immediately after the Roanoke incident.
The leisurely users who bought sculptures and paintings that were not selling well have completely disappeared.
“If you want to make a living, you have to do delivery quests.”
“Change your job quickly and become a priest. It would be better to use divine magic from behind.”
“They say that if your art stat is high, you’ll be treated well in the church.”
As the sculptors were disappearing like the ebb tide, the Goddess’ blessings were focused on Weed.
‘What stats do battle-type gods mainly increase?’
(Various effects include strength, agility, maximum health, blessings for combat power, and acquisition of combat skills.)
‘What a pity. It seems like the God of Art only raises art stats.’
(They say that these days, you need to have at least one apartment in Gangnam to save someone from drowning.)
Weed became greedy when he almost finished making Seoyoon’s bust.
Seoyoon’s statue was very beautiful, but it felt so lonely to leave her alone on the frozen ground.
‘I want to let you know that I am with you wherever you are.’

Ahn Hyun-do was enjoying the thrill in Roanoke.
It wasn’t a feeling of fear or dread, but pure excitement.
‘When you die, you don’t come back to life, you really die.’
To Ahn Hyun-do, Royal Road was a fun world where he could fight to his heart’s content, but on the other hand, it also felt like a joke.
No matter how many times you die, you can come back to life after a set amount of time has passed.
There is a penalty to level and skill proficiency, but isn’t it not true death?
‘The sword is the one that is fought until your limbs fall off, your heart stops, and your head is shattered. The sword that you swing at the end just before you die is the real one.’
I felt a deep regret that I had not known about Roanoke until now.
Even though I was older, the only television programs I watched were fighting sports and lingerie model shows.
“Ewwww!”
“Attack! We must capture it!”
Battle of the Canyon Fortress.
When creating the character, Ahn Hyun-do did some searching on the Internet.
The reason I chose Extreme difficulty was because large-scale battles occur frequently.
A task that requires starting out as a soldier on the battlefield and achieving achievements.
Battles unfold where you can fight with only one sword.
“Listen up, everyone. We must hunt griffons for the kingdom.”
He is a member of the kingdom’s special mission team and participates in hunting large monsters.
Various battles awakened the wildness of Ahn Hyeon-do that had been dormant for a long time.
‘This is really, really good.’
I regret not starting Roanoke earlier.
But on the other hand, I also thought that if I had only encountered such a wonderful world through a game, I would have felt regretful, just like in Royal Road.
The fun of fighting and winning, risking your life.
The thrill of winning while bleeding profusely was unbearable.

Weed began to create his own statue next to Seoyoon’s statue.
Of course, I had experiences while living in the past.
Even if Weed walks down the street alone, people don’t usually pay much attention.
Seo-yoon possesses overwhelming beauty, from the overall line of her forehead and face to her eyes, nose, and mouth.
It looks fantastic even when the hair is tied up with a hair tie or cut short.
When grown long, it gave off a goddess-like vibe that would make cars on the road suddenly stop.
If you hang out with Seo-yoon like that, the person next to you will naturally turn into an unidentified alien life form.
‘If I were to create a statue of myself next to Seo-yoon, it would require some aesthetic modifications.’
(The owner’s appearance is also good.)
‘Don’t try to comfort me with words like that. I have eyes too.’
(It’s hard for me to understand why people are so obsessed with meaningless beauty.)
‘What would it be like if you were in a rusty old computer case?’
(……I understand. That is a very terrible analogy.)
Weed made his statue’s nose a little higher and his shoulders broader, just as he wanted.
A desperate effort to make her a man who suits her.
It was carved to depict a figure carrying a sword on his back and holding a child in his hand.
Viewers watching Weed’s live broadcast were excited from the moment he started making Seo-yoon’s statue.
Weed is creating a holy place.
The appearance of the goddess.
Roanoke users who have lived without knowing beauty, worship the goddess.
That’s the world’s greatest beauty contest. The Ice Beauty Statue is a legend that still remains in Royal Road.
The person who got 98% of the votes in the world’s most beautiful woman.
Now that I look at it, it seems like you’ve gotten prettier.
It’s so pretty. Just looking at it makes me feel like my happiness level is rising uncontrollably.
However, after making Seo-yoon’s statue, a statue of Weed is made next to it.
The viewers screamed.
no!
It was a truly perfect statue… … .
Weed returned to Roanoke to create a statue of the goddess. However, there was no need to create a statue of himself next to her.
I acknowledge Weed’s outstanding sculpting skills, but there are problems with his character.
The holy land is being polluted.
Seo Yoon’s popularity remains the same even after 20 years.
Because a beauty that surpasses her has not yet appeared in the world.
Why hasn’t there been a girl prettier than Seo-yoon yet?
Because Seo-yoon has already reached the peak of her beauty.
Aren’t there people who saw it in person?
I saw it. I spent the whole day wondering if it was a dream.
Haven’t there been any guys who’ve been slinging you around in Royal Road? I think all high-level users have been slinging you around at least once.
It’s not at that level. At first glance, you’ll know that… this is the beauty of a goddess.
It was such an appearance that standing and looking at it felt like blasphemy.
You say that when you look at it, your hands and feet start shaking?
Despite the viewers’ reaction, there were no problems with the production of the statues Weed created.
Not only did the AI not bother to relay all the praise for Seo-yoon, but hearing those words did not break the concentration of the person creating the statue.
Weed and Seo-yoon’s daughter.
Because it’s a piece that depicts the times when the three of them lived happily together.
It was a moment I always wanted to go back to.
“This is a crazy piece of work.”
“Honestly, this is art. I have to admit it.”
“How many sculptures have you made so far?”
Pale, Calis, and Roam came with the adventurers to watch.
It seems absurd to leave such a work of art on frozen ground, but I thought it was possible because it was Weed.
Suddenly, Callis saw Weed’s big picture.
“Are you creating sculptures to encourage the development of a settlement? It was the same in Royal Road. There were sculptures in the city ruled by Weed.”
There have been several sculptures since the early days of Morata, and as the city grew, the number of sculptures increased.
The sculptures that served as landmarks attracted users.
Morata became a symbol of the North and users flocked to it, partly due to the effects of sculptures that influenced the city.
“The sculptures on the frozen ground may not directly contribute to the city’s development, but they could play an important role in resolving its weaknesses.”
As a top ranker in Royal Road, Kalis has done a lot of research and study on sculpting.
Great sculptures created in places where people cannot live produce a variety of effects.
If it’s a sculpture made on frozen ground, it would naturally greatly increase its cold resistance, wouldn’t it?
Increases cold tolerance, making life a little more comfortable for the city’s Sullium residents and attracting adventurers.
Leading to active exploration and development of distorted cracks.
Roam: But the frozen land can’t develop into a normal city, right?
After hearing Kalis’ words, a whisper was sent by Roam.
In the distorted cracks and frozen ground, wouldn’t it be difficult for more than a certain number of people to survive?
It is difficult for a large number of users from the central continent to migrate like Morata.
Callis: Yes, that would be true. But that would be Weed’s plan.
Roam: What kind of tricks are there?
Callis: I don’t know. Anyway, we shouldn’t let our guard down with what Weed does.
The very act of creating a giant statue while fighting the cold brought about by an ice storm seemed like a miracle.
