Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (75)

Walking in the dark.

Weed walked quietly down the prison corridors, feeling the air flow.

(The Caliphate Prison existed in the Kingdom of Libya.)

‘What about the prison blueprints?’

(No user has yet obtained or seen the full blueprint of the prison. It is said to have been built connected to a natural cave.)

‘Does it still exist in present-day Roanoke?’

(It was destroyed by a major earthquake about 150 years ago. It is a large prison that can accommodate 2,000 people, but it is said that the number of people it could accommodate at its peak was over 10,000.)

(Now, there are traces of the collapsed prison, and it is said that the prisoners and guards are roaming around as undead.)

Inferno difficulty allowed exploration of areas that do not exist in current Roanoke.

‘I like the size of the prison.’

Weed’s concentration was sharp as a blade.

The tension that had been loosening up was tightened, and thanks to the ample sleep and rest I had gotten during that time, my mental state was at its best.

Tiring!

You are a prisoner who was unjustly dragged into the Caliphate prison.

We do not know what crimes he committed or what kind of life he lived.

A message window appears while walking down a dark hallway.

Weed walked while reading the message window.

The passages were too narrow to summon tentacles or raptors.

You are being chased by the Caliph’s guards.

If you are caught by the guards, you will be tortured and eventually lose your life.

If you are caught, you will not just die, but you will be tortured.

Weed suddenly had an idea.

‘Can’t you withstand the torture?’

He used the Mirror of the Abyss and endured the pain that tore apart his entire body.

Since then, I have increased my resistance in various ways, and I was confident in my mental strength.

The idea that if you endure the guards’ torture, you might achieve some sort of pain-related achievement.

(I do not recommend enduring torture.)

‘why?’

(Extreme pain causes mental shock.)

‘… … .’

Weed said nothing.

It’s been a long time since I felt physical pain, but I’ve felt mental pain a lot.

The pain of not being able to wake up Seo-yoon, the wounds of raising her daughter alone and not being able to be with her, remain somewhere deep in her heart.

“I guess I’ve made Jenon open his mouth by now.”

“That idiot, he might have had his throat cut for not listening.”

The guard’s voice was heard in the darkness.

Weed stopped walking and hung silently on the ceiling.

Torch-wielding guards walked forward, their footsteps clanking and the sound of prison keys clinking.

“The problem isn’t the newly captured guy. It’s the number of people we’re detaining right now that’s too much.”

“If we reduce the food, the prisoners will reduce their weight on their own, so it will be resolved in a few days.”

“That’s a good idea.”

“If I’m bored, I can kill a few guys.”

Torch-wielding guards passed below.

As the guards walked by, holding torches, an endless row of iron gates came into view.

“There are a lot of things to pay attention to this time.”

“Damn it. A warlock, a royal knight, and even a Pesos armored man.”

“I didn’t know that the head of the Northern Wall’s Earl Honwood would come to a place like this.”

“The elves we caught this time don’t eat meat.”

“They must be crazy if they don’t eat meat.”

Weed followed quietly behind the guards, listening to their story.

We have obtained information on the Caliphate Prison.

Talk to the prisoners.

As you listen to their stories of life, various quests related to it will occur.

Depending on the prisoners’ circumstances, the difficulty and rewards for this stage of the quest will vary.

Primary objective

Prisoners’ Quest

Secondary objective

escape from prison

You may not have much time left.

The description of this stage has appeared.

Escaping the prison isn’t everything, you also have to meet the prisoners, talk to them, and complete quests.

“I’m hungry.”

“There should be some stew left over from yesterday.”

“I want to eat something delicious.”

“Let’s catch a child and put him in.”

The guards walked for a while, then turned around and went back where they came from.

Weed did not follow and remained in the darkness.

‘I can’t see anything. It’s a little uncomfortable.’

(We recommend that you acquire skills that allow you to operate in dark areas.)

Even in the fifth stage of hell, I couldn’t see, but at that time, I didn’t need to move around much.

‘Do you have any recommendations?’

(Shadow Movement, Eye of Darkness are good. These are skills learned by many users who clear dungeons.)

Weed has managed to get through Hell difficulty with minimal skill acquisition so far.

Not wasting points learning useless skills.

Even though I have a lot of hero and legend points, I have been saving them wisely.

‘I guess I have to learn.’

Weed entered the legendary library.

A place with countless skills, equipment, and traits.

You have acquired the Shadow Movement skill!

Shadow Move Beginner Level 1: You can move through shadows. Movement speed is increased, and noise is reduced.]

[Strength increases by 1 as a reward for acquiring the Assassination skill.

Learned a hero skill in the assassination series.

A skill with high usability even when the level increases significantly.

You have acquired the Eyes of Darkness skill!

Dark Eye Beginner Level 1: Can see in the dark.

With advanced life skills, I was able to see clearly even in the dark, going from not being able to see anything to being able to see clearly in the dark.

After returning to the prison, Weed approached the locked iron gate.

(A faint breathing sound is heard beyond the iron gate.)

Kick kick kick.

I inserted the wire and opened the lock with the help of artificial intelligence Versa.

There was a prisoner lying there covered in wounds after being tortured.

“You, you are an assassin.”

“Who are you?”

“No, I won’t tell you anything.”

The prisoner kept his mouth shut and refused to speak.

Weed was confident in increasing intimacy through flattery.

Still, considering the current situation, I chose a method that would save time.

“Summoning Fragments.”

The tentacles appeared, filling the cell.

Weed covered the prisoner’s mouth to keep him from screaming.

“If I take my hand off, you will speak. If you don’t speak, you will not have another chance to speak.”

Weed took his hand off, still holding the tentacle monster’s coffin against the prisoner’s forehead.

“I am an innocent person. If I had to say anything wrong, it would be that I formed a group of bandits because it was hard to make a living. But in the end, I was punished and ended up here.”

Tiring!

I heard the story of Bergis, the leader of a band of bandits.

Bergis formed a band of bandits and pillaged the areas devastated by the war.

After they had stolen the valuables, they set fire to the village, killing every single one of its inhabitants.

Bergis’s dream is to create a large band of bandits and pillage the great cities.

Would you like to proceed with Bergis’ adventure?

Difficulty: C

Rewards: Loot, Bandits of Bergis

Weed didn’t feel bad about this level of hell difficulty.

A quest to fulfill the dreams of prisoners before escaping prison.

The compensation for him was also very large.

‘The rewards and difficulty level will vary depending on which prisoner you choose.’

Prisoner Bergis smiled, revealing his yellow teeth.

“What was my dream… … . Ugh!”

Weed cut off Bergis’s neck with a dagger.

Experience points have increased.

You have declined the quest.

Aaron successfully cleared the Nightmare difficulty and was finally able to enter the world of Roanoke.

“Selling the warrior’s double-edged axe.”

“I sell brown rice tea that is good to drink when mixed with water. I sell it for less than the cost price.”

“A hornpipe, an essential item for war. It has two levels of increased command.”

Aaron started in the capital of the Kingdom of Leon.

His confidence was greatly diminished as he looked at the bustling square filled with merchants and users.

‘I’m a slacker. I’m a slacker.’

It was only a few days ago that I thought I could compete with the top players in Roanoke with Nightmare difficulty.

Meeting Weed completely changed my perception of Roanoke.

‘Let’s live long and thin. There’s nothing we shouldn’t do.’

Suyeon appeared next to him.

She, who had completed the strategy on medium difficulty, also chose to follow Aaron and start in the Kingdom of Leon.

In fact, they were lovers at first sight in a world where they had to risk their lives to survive.

You might wonder how you can have a romantic relationship in Roanoke, where life and death are decided, but love is more passionate in a place like this.

Zenfest secretly exchanged glances with each other and even held hands.

“Let’s go. Let’s hunt animals near the safe city first.”

“Anywhere is fine as long as we’re together, oppa.”

The two people, who became friends easily and shared their beliefs as expected from popular kids, headed to the castle gate.

Zenpester was an experienced man who had been active in Roanoke.

After completing character creation, I entered the guild I had joined in the Magic Kingdom of Graconian.

“I’m back, having beaten Nightmare difficulty.”

“great job.”

Guild leader Rambutan welcomed him warmly.

There were constant petty disputes between the factions. In a world where war could break out at any moment, a Nightmare difficulty strategy player could be of help.

“I really didn’t think you’d come back.”

“Of course you should come.”

“I thought you wouldn’t come, or I would die while creating the character.”

“No, bro.”

Rambutan laughed heartily as he teased Zenpester.

Isn’t the prime of youth the best time to have fun?

“There’s something I need to tell you more urgently. I met Weed while clearing Nightmare difficulty level 10.”

“With?”

“I’m talking about Weed, who was active in Royal Road. He worked as a sculptor… … .”

“There’s no need to explain about Weed.”

Rambutan was in his 40s.

In his generation, Royal Road and Weed have a very special meaning.

‘Was it true that Weed had accessed Roanoke?’

I had heard it through rumors, but I only knew about it because so many things were happening.

“Are you still as good as you used to be?”

“Skill? I couldn’t even see it properly. But I still cleared the 7th level of hell.”

“You didn’t even show your skills properly, and yet you cleared the 7th level of hell?”

The third level of Inferno difficulty that Roanoke’s top users declared impossible.

Even if you had successfully conquered stage 7, it would have been unbelievable.

“I don’t know exactly how much skill I have. I just summoned the sculptured creatures.”

Zenfester described the tentacle monsters and raptors.

As a user who had played Roanoke, I knew how powerful and dangerous it was.

“It looked like a monster over level 100. And it was completely combat-oriented.”

“What does combat type mean?”

“They are creatures born for battle. Not only do they look like they came straight out of a movie, they are also incredibly powerful.”

Tentacle monsters that move stealthily and perform various attacks.

Raptors run at incredible speeds and display fiery aggression and group tactics.

“The scariest thing is that Weed is creating these sculpted creatures indiscriminately.”

Zenfester was horrified when he looked back at how he had suggested killing Weed.

Although I did have an accident at the time, it may have been because I was paralyzed by fear.

Because I really thought there was a pretty good chance that Weed would kill himself and the other two after accepting the devil’s temptation.

The basis for this was also sufficient.

‘If it were me, I would have accepted the devil’s temptation.’

Even if accepting the devil’s temptation would ultimately be detrimental to oneself, shouldn’t one live as Roanoke has become a game of death?

Rambutan’s expression became serious after hearing the explanation.

“You’re already that strong? This isn’t what I expected. So, will you be able to pass the rest of the Inferno difficulty and affect Roanoke?”

“Absolutely. Stages 8, 9, and 10. And considering the rewards you get for clearing the final stage of Hell difficulty, doesn’t it have incredible potential?”

Rambutan had a lot to hear while leading the guild.

In addition to the issues with other forces, there was a variety of information about the growth of general users.

“Can’t you get the Dragon Bearer on Hellfire difficulty?”

“Are you the one who has the dragon?”

“Ah. There is something like that.”

Rambutan was lost in thought alone, as Zenpester had no clue.

Around the time that stages 1 and 2 of the Inferno difficulty were cleared, information was released that one could obtain the Dragon Bearer.

According to information revealed at the time, those who embraced the dragon were granted increased strength and vitality.

It was important to non-mage or spirit users as it increased the two most important things, but later, additional information was revealed.

‘As the one holding the dragon advances to the third and fourth stages, not only will the stats increase enormously, but when that is completed, the dragon may awaken.’

Dragons, one of the ultimate creatures in Roanoke.

According to information confirmed by users, it is possible to obtain a dragon or even become a dragon yourself.

That’s why top-tier users who acquired the Dragon Bearer trait were putting all their effort into completing quests and clearing dungeons to level up.

‘The one who holds the dragon might be completed in the infernal difficulty. If Weed comes out holding the dragon… … .’
