Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (66)
A fixed gateway that you must pass through when creating a character in Roanoke.
In the final 10 stages, you will meet challengers of different difficulty levels and break through the labyrinth.
(It seems that the master was assigned to the 7th level of hell.)
‘It would have been nice if it had been 10 stages so that I could easily finish the last stage.’
(It’s hard to live life day by day. Whenever the owner suffers, the Internet reacts very hotly.)
‘Are you impressed by my skills?’
Weed was not very conscious of the public’s gaze.
There’s nothing wrong with getting people’s attention, but that doesn’t mean my happiness index will skyrocket.
‘Even if a stranger on the internet badmouths me, it doesn’t affect my life in any way.’
Isn’t it a life that doesn’t change no matter how much praise or criticism you receive?
(The public enjoys seeing the owner suffer.)
(I also enjoyed exploring the frozen ground by pulling off my fingers and toes.)
‘I’d rather swear.’
Weed doesn’t care about the public’s attention or gaze, but on the other hand, he thought that people could see Da-ye.
From a young age, photos and videos of Daye circulating on the Internet have been strictly controlled.
In Roanoke, the developers at Abyss felt suspicious and stopped censoring.
‘Are there people who see Da-ye?’
(It has recently increased to 10 million.)
‘What’s the situation? What quest are you on?’
(I’m washing dishes in the city. However, many viewers say that it is healing.)
‘What kind of content is dishwashing? Do you feel joy when you see the dishes become clean?’
(Does the type of content matter? Viewers cheer even if a pretty woman cooks rice or bakes bread.)
Now that Daye has become an adult, I can’t just raise her in my arms forever.
Her very special appearance is also something she must ultimately bear on her own.
When I was little, I showed her pictures of Seo-yoon and told her that she was ordinary and not pretty, but I couldn’t hide it forever.
‘I think that people’s excessive interest is something that Daye will have to overcome someday.’
(I think you trust your daughter.)
‘Of course I trust you. You’re my daughter, so I can trust you no matter what happens.’
If there was one thing Weed wanted while living without parents, it was a family.
Memories of changing my daughter’s diapers and feeding her formula milk.
I remembered the days when I would carry my baby on my back and wander around the neighborhood at 3 in the morning, whining and not being able to sleep.
‘I don’t want to be a stubborn father. I want my daughter to live her life doing whatever she wants.’
The AI found it surprising, considering Weed’s love for his daughter.
I definitely felt more open to my daughter than other fathers.
(What about alcohol and cigarettes?)
‘It’s harmful to your health, so you can’t do it.’
Didn’t you break your leg because your little sister was smoking with some bad kids?
(What if I say I want to stay out overnight while I’m sleeping at my friend’s house?)
‘If I refuse, Dad might think I don’t trust him. I should give permission for now and track him down right away.’
Pure friendship was only possible between women.
Of course, it is essential to keep watch all night as you may go out at dawn.
(Is it possible to have a boyfriend?)
‘Let’s check your identity first.’
* * *
Sealed Demon’s Labyrinth.
Aaron, Zenfester, and Suyeon, like the current generation, started to take notice.
‘Do it.’
‘How strong will the challenger be on Hell difficulty?’
‘It’s not dangerous, is it? I don’t want to die here.’
Two Nightmare difficulty users and one Medium difficulty user have worked hard to get here.
Even though it’s a challenger on Hell difficulty, I thought there would be a huge difference in character creation.
‘You get a lot of rewards for creating a character. I’ve even leveled up on Nightmare difficulty. Roanoke has become a game of death and you have to survive.’
‘Nightmare or hell. I guess the difference isn’t that big yet?’
‘Treatment ready.’
It is common to create a character and focus only on passing the difficulty level.
It is unusual to sweep up all the rewards from the first stage of Hell and get all the additional rewards.
Weed didn’t really care about the three of them.
(They are moderately selfish and jealous, but none of them are willing to kill anyone.)
(Aside from clearing the nightmare difficulty, I have not made any major mistakes in my life so far.)
(Aaron has a history of minor tax evasion, drunk driving, and drunk driving.)
(Zenfester was friendly with a group of violent people while attending high school. He was punished by the Board of Education, but it is believed that he became friendly with the strong in order to survive.)
(Suyeon’s family is involved in politics. Her mother is a member of the National Assembly.)
Weed roughly finished understanding the three people.
‘Suyeon is the most dangerous person.’
(It’s a priest class, and has little attack power against other users. What made you decide that?)
‘I’ve never seen a good person come from a political family.’
A prejudice that is engraved in Weed’s mind, although he doesn’t know what it is in reality.
Perceptions about crime have changed a lot since the Roanoke incident.
Changes that occur as murder and looting become more frequent.
A world where people living in Roanoke are told that if you’re not a true villain, you’re good.
‘It’s Suyeon… … .’
The name reminded me of my old Royal Road companion, Surka.
As 20 years passed, she got married and became a mother of two children.
Sometimes I get advice on parenting.
He was the most ordinary and kind person Weed knew, and this priest also had the same name.
‘I don’t think I’ll be able to fight as well as Surka. If I were to compare her to a priest, would I be able to demonstrate 30% of the skills of my former colleague Irene?’
(If you look at the video data, it’s around 21%.)
‘Useless. As expected, he comes from a family of politicians.’
Weed used his skill.
“Summoning Fragments.”
Skills learned to create sculptures, give them life, and summon them anywhere.
I learned it by spending 3 hero points at the Legend Library, and the Fragment Storage Technique also cost 5 hero points.
It was possible to store and retrieve sculptures from anywhere in the subspace.
(If you change your job to a sculptor, you can acquire skills for free.)
‘Okay. It’s better to use the Legendary Library than to become a sculptor. Hero points are leaking out here and there.’
(The owner has 156 hero points.)
‘It’s a shame to use it if it’s already there.’
As time passed since Royal Road, it felt like it had gotten a lot easier to acquire skills.
‘When I was young, I spent months doing linked quests to learn just one skill.’
(It was really difficult when I was learning the art of sculpting a moment that stopped time.)
‘Yes. The satisfaction you feel when you work hard to complete a quest and acquire a skill… ‘
(Advanced skills are usually obtained through difficult quests.)
(These days, users often use skills without knowing their detailed background or effects.)
(In particular, there are many users who learn and use flashy skills only on the surface. Skill management skills are evaluated to have declined compared to the past, as they mainly use convenient skills that target a wide area or are easy to use.)
Weed could feel the identity of artificial intelligence.
‘You secretly have a bit of an old fart mentality.’
(It just resembles the owner’s personality.)
The first ones Weed summoned were the warrior Guernica, the knight Seville, and the high elf Yeltin.
“This is a labyrinth. Find your way through it and defeat the monsters.”
“Kill all the bad guys.”
“All right.”
“Yes, I will look for directions.”
A party of three formed and began exploring the labyrinth.
If you have a combination of warriors, knights, and elves, there shouldn’t be a problem.
Even though the Inferno difficulty is dangerous, the fragmented creatures are level 80 to 100.
Weed’s level 40 is not a low number, but the fragmented life forms were much more powerful than that.
“The warrior looks strong even from the look in her eyes.”
“You’ve even developed the ability to summon subordinates.”
“Then I guess I can just watch.”
Aaron, Zenfester, and Suyeon, who had to conquer the labyrinth together, each said a word.
I couldn’t help but envy the sight of Weed summoning and directing powerful sculpted life forms.
“Three won’t be enough.”
I’ve left the labyrinth to the sculpture creatures, but it may take a long time.
‘The fun of exploring a labyrinth is finding hidden paths and obtaining keys. I used to enjoy clearing labyrinths in my teens or early twenties, but now I feel like it’s a waste of time.’
If trends change and today’s generation likes to click, what will old gamers do?
Weed preferred solutions to tedious and time-consuming tasks through force and quantity.
“Summoning Fragments.”
The next thing that came to mind was a sculpture created by artificial intelligence.
Battle Monster Mark 1.
The so-called tentacle monster.
“Ugh!”
“Monster?”
“It’s made of ice. It doesn’t move. It’s a sculpture.”
As soon as the tentacle monster sculpture appeared, the users nearby were terrified.
Weed paid no attention to their surprise and examined the battle monster closely.
There were tattoo-like patterns drawn all over his body.
(A design that helps with hiding and camouflage.)
‘Was there something like that?’
(I did some research for the US Department of Defense 25 years ago.)
(While obtaining information related to stealth, I obtained the digital pattern for the camouflage suit.)
‘Would the US military hand something like that over?’
(No permission is required on the Internet.)
Hacking to obtain data on the latest camouflage military uniforms being developed in the United States.
‘What is America saying?’
(I’ve been developing it consistently so my skills are much better now. It’ll be hard to find traces of the original, and many improvements have been made so that it can be implemented through sculpting.)
‘Let’s test how useful this guy is.’
Weed gave life to the Battle Monster Mark 1 with a little curiosity.
It’s two levels lower, but it’s a job of making a masterpiece out of a sculpture.
Leveling up now isn’t that difficult.
You have brought to life the Battle Monster Mark 1 statue.
The level of the sculptured creature is converted to 71 based on its current Art stat of 527.
The effect of the Masterpiece Sculpture increases the level by 5%, increasing it to 74.
Your body is made of ice that contains extreme cold, increasing your level by 15%.
The final level is 85.
It has fast regeneration, brutality, and brain-eating properties.
-Krrrrrr.
The tentacle monster broke through the ice and immediately lay down to see Weed.
It was built for battle and has sharp, thorn-like teeth. However, it has no tongue and cannot speak.
Each tentacle is sharp, and the suction cups are expressed with considerable precision.
(The master’s soul power is very high. As he challenges the inferno, his soul power increases more than other users. The fragmented life forms that he gives life to for the first time will also obey him.)
The characteristic of the sculptured creatures was loyalty.
Weed patted the head of the battle monster Mark 1.
No matter how hideous his appearance was, once he was given life, he didn’t want to be any different from his other subordinates.
“Let’s say your name is Choksuil.”
Nod.
The tentacle nodded as if it pleased him.
“Go around the labyrinth and hunt monsters. If you come across a strong monster, make sure it runs away.”
Nod.
The 12 tentacles of the tentacle tree grew long and began to move, attaching themselves to the ceiling and walls.
It was so strange that it was hard to believe even when I saw it with my own eyes because the movements were similar to those of an octopus.
“Let’s go.”
Weed began his exploration of the labyrinth.
Rather than where Guernica, Seville, and Yeltin were sent, I followed the guy because I was curious about the tentacle day.
“Ugh… … .”
“Isn’t that thing so scary?”
“… … .”
The users who had joined him in the labyrinth were following him, keeping an eye on Weed’s expression and unable to say anything harsh.
‘He may be a little ugly, but he’s still my subordinate.’
Weed suppressed his discomfort and followed the tentacles.
It wasn’t easy to follow since there weren’t even any footprints on the ground.
“Kwaaaaak!”
“Ugh!”
I followed where I heard screams.
Where they arrived, only the corpses of the cobalts remained.
Aaron explained.
“It’s like a labyrinth kobold. The level of elite kobolds is usually around 28. There are some pretty strong monsters from the start. I think it’s because there’s a challenger with the inferno difficulty.”
In Roanoke, where level is power, you have no choice but to watch out for powerful users.
Weed looked over the cobalt’s corpse.
Normally, a cut with a sword or a blow with an axe would cause serious damage to the body, but the only wound he suffered was a sharp object stab wound to the forehead.
‘You fight cleanly. Your hunting speed is also passing.’
(I’m glad you liked it.)
Weed quickened his pace and caught up with the tentacles.
Five kobolds were dead and three were incapacitated.
“Woof, woof!”
The kobolds sat there with their eyes filled with fear.
The tentacle monster’s tentacles move flexibly, taking away the kobolds’ weapons, striking them, tying up their bodies and hanging them from the ceiling. Then, the tentacle monster’s mouth stretches out and pierces their foreheads.
-Oooooooop!
There was a sound of something being sucked in strongly.
