Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (72)

The most common and numerous ones on the Internet were malicious commenters.

-With? When will you be with us? LOL

-Ah, that’s a name of memories.

-Was he the one who briefly appeared and disappeared in the past?

―The almost forgotten sculptor Weed? Yes, I remember him. He must have appeared in Roanoke after running out of money while working hard.

-Coins have been falling recently. What about that?

―You just started playing Roanoke and you feel trapped right away?

―Rice-eating bug appears!

When it became known that Weed was in Roanoke, the internet trolls flocked to him.

They needed something to chew on, rather than hard facts.

―The skills you showed in stages 1 and 2 weren’t bad, were they?

– It feels like you’ve been preparing for a long time. Even so, you’ll die soon.

-You’ve cleared the third level of hell.

– It’s skill-dependent. It’s really skill-dependent.

– Are you really educating the instructors in the 4th stage?

―I’m not being sincere because I’m teaching you. The swordsmanship is pretty useful, though.

―Stage 5 begins with both eyes missing and a right arm missing.

-I’m going to die here.

-No, why would you create such a level of difficulty using common sense?

In the fifth stage of Hell, most people expected Weed’s death.

However, in stage 5, he defeats the challenge by displaying overwhelming force.

-How did you come back stronger than before?

-Huh?

-Is this what the Weed I’ve only heard about feels like?

-Does this make sense?

He is proving his overwhelming skills to the point that even malicious commenters cannot attack him.

Even the existence of Da-ye was revealed.

The excuse for coming to Roanoke was so perfect that the malicious commenters attacked him in return.

-Don’t swear at your father-in-law, you little punks.

―Mr. Weed is going on an adventure, losing his fingers and toes to save his daughter, but there are malicious commenters in every corner of the house.

And that was the moment when Weed was conquering the 6th and 7th stages of Hell in a flash and rejected the devil’s offer.

―The one who can save Roanoke.

-You’ve saved Royal Road before. Experienced players are different.

-Being a warrior is a perfect fit for your profession.

– A warrior who sculpts.

-I can’t give up sculpting.

Viewers who left comments that said it felt like Weed had swallowed a whole sweet potato.

They were viewers who normally had no interest in sculpting and would never have chosen to become a sculptor themselves, but they were willing to recommend it to Weed.

-But the current situation with Weed is… … .

―A plot to kill Weed in the labyrinth is in progress.

-What are these kids doing?

Viewers saw Zenfester suggesting that Weed be killed.

The Internet has automatic translation support, but it is being criticized all over the world.

―As soon as Weed leaves, he stabs him in the back with a knife.

-If you really kill them, isn’t it the same as murder?

-It’s murder.

―You probably know that we and the police can see this, so what kind of nerve are you talking about?

-It seems like he doesn’t think about returning to reality.

– It seems like you’ve adapted to the world that’s being destroyed. Things like that happen all the time in dungeons.

-Human greed and survival instinct are so scary.

-They should just die. Weed is a talented person who can save Roanoke if he passes the Inferno difficulty.

―Master Weed, did you refuse the devil’s offer to save those guys?

* * *

The sealed demon made another offer to Weed.

-Follow me, and I will give you infinite life and glory.

Creating a character on Inferno difficulty and becoming a servant of the devil might be the shortcut to success in Roanoke.

Nevertheless, Weed refused the devil’s offer.

“Thank you for your good suggestion, but I want to keep people happy.”

-The weak do not deserve happiness.

Weed could quite sympathize with the devil’s words.

Because I couldn’t possibly be happy when I was poor and hungry.

If you’re hungry, behind on rent, and happy, you’re crazy.

“I will work for the peace of the continent. Even if my strength is not enough, I believe that there are many people who think like me. And even if I fail, I will be able to help make the world a better place.”

Total hypocrisy and pretense.

Weed thought of a friendly image to the viewers by rejecting the devil’s offer.

‘If I’m going to reject the offer, I might as well just take the popularity I can get for free.’

I’m not obsessed with popularity, but I guess it doesn’t really hurt to have it.

―This world deserves to be destroyed. Your clothes and weapons are not very good. I will give you good equipment and pay you a near-infinite amount of money.

-If you follow me, only good things will happen.

Gulp.

But there was conflict again when he gave me equipment and money.

Weed had already decided not to side with the devil who couldn’t fight dogs.

There are many battles that can be fought in Roanoke, and there’s nothing more frustrating than an incompetent boss.

“I’m sorry. I will protect people until the moment I stop breathing.”

―You will have to make endless sacrifices. No matter how much blood you shed, it will never be enough.

“I will not regret getting hurt and bleeding.”

Isn’t it true that lying is difficult and makes you feel guilty when you tell it in moderation?

Sacrifice, dedication, compromise.

Weed uttered words that even he himself thought were absurd.

Tiring!

You have achieved the hidden objective of the scenario quest.

You have earned the qualification ‘The Demon Fighter’.

When fighting demons and demon legions, combat power increases by 20%.

Strength increases by 10.

Increases black magic resistance by 5%.

Stage 1 of the main quest has been completed.

Level 7 of Hell.

Meeting and rejecting the devil was also one of the hidden objectives of the scenario quest.

‘What is the main quest?’

(This quest can affect the entire continent of Roanoke. It is greatly affected by level, fame, and reputation.)

There were also linked quests in Royal Road that changed the area or defeated a specific evil force.

In Roanoke, those who are qualified can proceed with the main quest.

I was able to actively participate in preventing destruction.

(Urgent! The humans in the sealed labyrinth are talking about killing the master.)

‘Kill me?’

(Zenfester says that he must kill the master, as he might fall for the devil’s temptation.)

Zenpester didn’t know Weed very well, but he had a pretty good idea.

If the power and influence of the devil is truly enormous, and it is meaningless to go against it.

Weed was willing to become a pawn to save his daughter’s life.

He is also a very capable and hard-working henchman.

Anything is possible because life is considered more precious than anything else.

‘As expected, there is no one in this world you can trust.’

Weed naturally did not trust users he met for the first time.

Even if you build trust for a year or two, aren’t modern people living with the distrust of others that they might strike you in the back at any time?

With Roanoke having changed so much, it was only natural to watch out for the back of the head.

‘I hope you don’t overdo it if possible.’

Zenfester’s life was in danger.

The AI ​​Versa could have easily cut off the capsule’s electricity or caused it to malfunction, forcing it to shut down.

Dealing with Zenfest in an AI-like manner is not a method that can be used often, as it can raise people’s suspicions.

That’s why tentacle monsters were waiting in the labyrinth.

“If those guys try to betray me, you can eat them.”

Allows you to eat human brains, not monster brains.

The tentacle monsters that follow them secretly will be watching them.

‘What is the exact situation?’

(Others disagree with Zenfester’s opinion.)

‘If the tentacle monsters don’t move properly, take care of them.’

(We will be ready to handle it at any time.)

The sweet offer of the sealed demon was rejected so many times.

– You are a fool. You will greatly regret rejecting my offer.

The Demon Archduke #%@#, who spreads despair, is displeased with you.

Hostility has reached 30.

The scenario quest ends.

The sealed demon banishes you from his world.

Scenario quest ends.

Weed’s consciousness returned to the sealed labyrinth.

“I told you to kill him now! He might wake up while I’m waiting.”

“… … .”

Weed blinked quietly, adjusting to his original body.

Aaron met Sooyeon’s eyes.

They looked surprised, but Zenfester, who was trying hard to persuade them, did not notice yet.

“This is Roanoke. When it comes to making decisions to survive, we shouldn’t hesitate.”

“… … .”

“If you don’t do it, the country will have no choice but to do it.”

* * *

Morata, a city in the Arpen Kingdom.

The average age of Royal Road users has been increasing over time.

“Nielsen, I heard you went for a health checkup recently?”

“Yes, my blood sugar levels have gone up, so I need to manage them better in the future.”

“Nothing else is wrong?”

“I think I need to cut down on drinking, so I’m going to drink at Morata.”

“The dwarven stout from Morata is amazing.”

A friendly conversation between long-time users who have lived in Royal Road.

In Morata, where they were, there were many 35-story stone buildings.

It is a rare sight to find Morata, once filled with shantytowns.

It was the result of architect users belonging to the old class showing off their architectural skills that had reached the master level.

In the central square and the castle gate, where people were busy buying and selling items and recruiting hunting parties, users with different goals gathered.

“Looking for someone to go fishing on the Bensa River. Someone who wants to catch a big fish.”

“I’m selling a house in the countryside that is prohibited for those under 10 years old. It’s all built. You just need to come in.”

“Who wants to adopt a well-raised wyvern? It sometimes bites, so only those who are level 900 or higher are welcome.”

“For sale is a luxury villa in Puhol Water Park.”

Veterans who have lived in Royal Road for a long time.

They had no intention of leaving this place where they had raised their level, skills, reputation, and contribution even when the new virtual reality was launched.

“How good is Royal Road.”

“I’ve tried other virtual realities, but I always end up coming back to this one.”

“The scenery is beautiful, the water is clear, and there are lots of fish. Royal Road is paradise.”

There were people living a leisurely life on Royal Road.

A place where you can come and relax whenever you feel tired from reality.

Phaaaat!

A light appeared in the central square of Morata, and a user dressed as a beginner adventurer appeared.

I was a user who had just started playing Royal Road.

“Hello. How do I get to the hunting grounds? The beginner hunting grounds aren’t restricted, right?”

Beginner users were worried about the territoriality of existing users and restrictions on hunting grounds.

Users who were leisurely maintaining their fishing rods smiled brightly.

“You’re a total newbie who doesn’t even know you can’t leave the city for 4 weeks.”

“Really. Still, how lively it looks.”

Royal Road veterans were feeling the increasing number of new users.

There has been a lot of news about virtual reality gaming since the Roanoke incident.

Meanwhile, many new users were flocking to the old but safe Royal Road.

The middle-aged man in the central square handed a bag to a novice user.

“Take this first.”

“What is this?”

“A set of magic equipment for beginners. And food and money.”

“I have barley bread.”

“These are the finest dishes prepared by master chefs. You’ll love them once you try them.”

“Why are you being so nice to me?”

Novice users looked on with wary eyes.

A situation where you suspect that there may be some religious or financial temptation.

“New users are always welcome. Live to your heart’s content in a world filled with dreams and hopes.”
