Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (65)
Weed finished his sculpture work on the frozen ground and prepared to leave.
It was a place where my fingers and toes had fallen off from enduring the cold, but now that my cold tolerance has reached its peak, I can even feel the warmth.
“You’ve been here for quite some time.”
The sixth level of hell was a gate with no time limit.
If I hadn’t come to the extreme point of the frozen land, I would not have been able to save Sulium, and I would not have had the opportunity to meet other users.
It’s a test that you can pass with little difficulty.
It took quite a while to progress through the adventures and quests.
‘The level is low, but it has become much stronger.’
Roanoke started out with a level of strength that was at its peak as a human.
As you level up, you feel stronger, but various characteristics, achievement rewards, and skills are accumulated one by one.
‘I guess I’ll have to keep the level low like now and keep giving life to the sculptures as the level goes up.’
(I can’t wait to see my battle monsters in action.)
They are terrible monsters of a type that Weed has never faced before, but it wouldn’t be bad if he treated them as allies and subordinates.
In fact, the gold man and yellow man were in charge of cuteness, but the King Hydra and Death Worm were also scary enough to be seen during the day.
(Would you like to leave right away? Many adventurers who have come to Sulium want to meet you, Master.)
(There are users who have been fans of the master since Royal Road.)
There were many adventurers who came from Ashford through the distorted rift to meet Weed.
People who liked Weed since Royal Road.
‘Unfortunately, I don’t have time right now.’
Normally, I would have met users who came to Sulrium and sold them souvenirs, but right now, time was more precious than money.
‘I need to level up before I can have a beer with other users. And I need to get through stage 6, which is starting to get tiresome.’
(Blade Dragon also plans to dispatch adventurer users with gifts to give to their masters.)
‘Is this a reward for a luxury sword?’
(Yes.)
‘If you’re already here, I’ll meet you, but I don’t think it’s worth waiting around for. Debts tend to grow bigger the longer you leave them unpaid.’
After finishing his work on the frozen ground, Weed took out the fragments of the crack.
Loot obtained by hunting Lethargy in the city of Sullium.
The raiders left behind a great deal of loot, most of it of little value.
You have acquired a piece of rotten meat.
You have acquired grains with blue mold on them.
You have acquired a pile of swallowed needles.
You have acquired the tail of the lesser.
You have acquired a wallet made of crocodile leather.
… … .
The Ratters are a race that roams everywhere through sewers and rat holes.
There was a wealthy Lesser who had gold coins, jewels, and even shards of the rift.
Weed took out a piece of shimmering, colorful shard in his hand.
“emotion.”
Fragments of the Crack
The possession of Bernius, a wizard from the Kingdom of Nord.
It is a fragment that came out when a distorted crack broke.
Using the Fragments of the Crack you can gain information about the Land of the Dead and the Shattered Lands.
“Use.”
Fragments of the crack scattered like dust.
Fragments of the crack were used.
I have acquired information about the Land of the Dead.
Information about the place where the abyss dwells.
It is a place where corpses rot and decay to form swamps, lakes, rivers, and seas.
There exists a very powerful ruler.
We have acquired information about the destroyed land.
An area destroyed by demons.
Few people live on the cracked, ashen land.

A few demon servants remain, leading slaves to mine the cursed magic stones.

Just before moving on to the 7th stage of hell.
Weed turned his gaze to the ice storm and the family statues surrounding it.
Seo-yoon and her daughter.
As I stared at it for a while, memories of the past came back to me.
I was happy raising my daughter, but I missed the times when I was a family with Seo-yoon even more.
‘No matter what the next difficulty is, I won’t fall.’
* * *
A dirty, stinking maze.
It was a labyrinth strewn with goblins, kobolds, and the rotten corpses of various races.
“We finally made it to the end.”
The final 10th stage of nightmare difficulty.
The game progresses by meeting users of different difficulty levels who are creating characters and solving the labyrinth together.
Aaron learned of the Roanoke Incident while working his way through the Nightmare difficulty of character creation.
If you don’t log out, death will result in actual loss of life.
“There is no place to retreat, so I have no choice but to keep going.”
I conquered the nightmare difficulty level one after another, overcoming the fear of death.
I already knew it in my head, I had a plan of attack, and this was even my 8th attempt.
“Whoa, the users of Roanoke are already dead, or maybe they’re still being killed.”
I don’t know what will happen in Roanoke, but first, I need to create my character safely.
I grew my character by bravely swinging my axe on Nightmare difficulty.
Aaron’s profession is that of a basic axe warrior.
A weapon that is comfortable to hold, has excellent attack power, and is also convenient for defense.
“Hmm… … I guess I’ll have to meet users of different difficulty levels. It would be nice if someone with a profession could show up to be my companion, even if it’s just for a little while.”
Aaron waited with pride, saying that it was Nightmare difficulty.
After waiting for a while, the user summoned with light was emitting a dark gray aura.
“Another Nightmare difficulty challenger.”
“you also?”
Zenfester.
He too was approaching the final stage of Nightmare difficulty, and his situation was similar to Aaron’s.
Normally, we would happily laugh and cooperate to conquer the final stage, but since Roanoke has become a game of death, we cannot help but be conscious of each other.
Aaron spoke first, holding the axe in his hand.
“I have no intention of attacking you.”
“How can you believe it?”
“So there is no benefit to be gained. But I wonder what your attitude is.”
“I am…….”
Zenfester thought he should start by introducing himself.
“I’m a user who was already playing Roanoke. I created a character on the hardest difficulty, but I tried again on the nightmare difficulty this time. And I’m a member of the Ferance Guild.”
“If you belong to the Ference Guild… … .”
“It’s a fairly famous guild for being neutral.”
“I’ve heard the name.”
Aaron also gave an explanation of the Seven Stars, a virtual reality he had done before.
The fact that he was active as a warrior and was a top-tier ranker.
“Is that so? It seems like your skills are decent.”
“You too.”
The two thought that a ferocious beast knows another beast.
An opponent you can’t let your guard down against, but whose skills you can trust.
I thought that if we worked together in the labyrinth, each person would be able to do their share.
And after a while, a female user appeared with light, wearing a pure white priest’s robe.
“Hello. My name is Suyeon. I’m currently doing the final challenge on medium difficulty. I’ve mainly learned healing, defense, and movement speed increasing magic.”
“I see.”
“I think being a priest would be a great help.”
Aaron and Zenfester welcomed the priest users.
It was great to have a decent job that wasn’t risky during these sensitive times.
Even though he was only 20 years old, he felt like a comfortable younger brother to Aaron, who was 26, and Jenpester, who was 27.
Aaron spoke first.
“We need one more person to come, but let’s proceed slowly with the labyrinth raid.”
“Agree. Since this is the final step, I think it would be best to proceed cautiously.”
The labyrinth is always randomly determined based on the level of the users.
Zenfester said as he looked at the rotting corpses.
“It won’t be easy since there are two Nightmare difficulty users.”
“Well, I thought so too. But with the axe, all problems were solved.”
They didn’t forget to show off their fighting spirit as befitting Nightmare difficulty challengers.
You’ll have to be on your toes when monsters appear, but even so, the pride of a Nightmare difficulty challenger won’t go anywhere.
In Roanoke, simply passing Nightmare difficulty would get you invited to the big guilds.
Cha, who thought that his value would have increased several times since Roanoke became a game of death.
Passs …
As the dust gathered, a blue portal was created.
Zenfest chuckled.
“You are the last guest.”
“Moderate or comfortable. Well, it doesn’t matter which difficulty level you’re on, since there are two of us on Nightmare difficulty.”
Finally, the user appeared through the portal.
A sword that emits a soft glow, worn on the waist.
However, the basic adventurer’s outfit he was wearing was torn and burned here and there, so it was no better than rags.
‘If you catch a fire type monster, are you a moderate challenger?’
‘It doesn’t seem comfortable.’
However, a dark red aura appeared as if swirling together with noble gold from the body of the last challenger.
“huh?”
“That’s an unknown effect.”
White, yellow, green.
The aura that appears on low difficulty challengers is quite bright and cute.
As the difficulty level increases, silver and gold are mixed in, but this was the first time I saw such a clear gold color.
Moreover, the swirling crimson aura felt oppressive.
* * *
Level 7 of Hell difficulty.
It was about conquering the labyrinth with users of different difficulty levels.
As soon as Weed saw the three users, a pleased smile appeared on his face.
“What cute kids.”
Aaron holding an axe.
Zenfester uses a longsword that is 30cm longer than a normal sword.
Even Suyeon wearing priestly attire.
From the perspective of Weed, who has fought countless battles since Royal Road, even his posture was incredibly cute.
“… … .”
Nightmare difficulty challengers who feel insulted by being called cute.
But they sensed something strange and didn’t talk back.
Aaron said cautiously.
“Are you a challenger of extreme difficulty?”
Extreme difficulty that no one has ever been able to beat.
Many people evaluated that it was one level higher than theirs, but that character creation was three times more difficult.
If you’ve managed to get through the extremely difficult level where no information is known after stage 5, that’s impressive in itself.
“no.”
“No, really? Phew, that’s what I thought. I thought I was clearing some kind of high difficulty level. What difficulty level are you clearing?”
“Hellfire.”
“yes?”
Aaron and Zenfester felt their hearts sink at Weed’s words.
The aura, a mix of gold and crimson, is too special to be called a joke.
Moreover, there was an inexplicable atmosphere somewhere.
The feeling that is unique to warriors who have fought through countless battles while still considering themselves cute.
“This difficulty level is on the easy side since it’s a maze filled with nightmare creatures.”
Weed deliberately talked to himself so that people would hear.
Before exploring the labyrinth, it will naturally be necessary to take the initiative.
“yes?”
Aaron is on the final stage of nightmare difficulty, and I was starting to feel a little resistance when I heard it was easy.
Sooyeon, who had been tilting her head and looking at Weed since he appeared, said.
“Are you Mr. Weed?”
Weed had an ordinariness that made him hard to recognize on the street.
No matter what you wear, you look a little thin and have an expression like you skipped breakfast.
I could tell it was Weed from his attire and his atmosphere.
