The Legendary Moonlight Scluptor
The Destined Profession
As usual Counselor Rodriguez took a walk in the afternoon. He was happy to check on his neighbors to add to their suffering.
"How are you, Hans?"
"Okay, Counselor."
“What is the freshest fruit today?”
"This one. Please taste. These strawberries are new to harvest, Mr. Counselor.”
"Thank you." Counselor Rodriguez's face was beaming. In fact, he had not had time to disturb anyone else he wanted this afternoon. The reason is that he is happy with the publication of his book that he recently wrote.
When he returned home, his servant who was in charge of tending to the manor was waiting in front of the entrance to greet him. He spoke casually with his servant who dedicated himself to the Rodriguez family for decades.
“How are your walks, consort sir?”
"good. Very kind. These days are free from trouble and strife."
"It's good to hear that, counsellor. By the way, do you mind if I ask a question?"
"Just say it, William."
"It's about the young master sculpting the statue in front of the house at that time, the counselor."
"Oh, that kid!"
"Did he find what he was looking for?"
Rodriguez laughed. “It won't be that easy.”
“Then?”
“Cannot be! He could not find the place, and even if he found it, against all obstacles-”
“… ”
"He will regret it even if he manages to get his profession. I'm me hahahaha!" Rodriguez laughed like a madman.
...* * *...
The first thing Weed did when he was alone was to double-check his armor and inventory, "24 gold and 30 silver."
Rather than receiving the drop parts of items his men had gathered from hunting kobolds and goblins, which were mostly crappy equipment, and raw metal, Weed preferred cash.
“The opinion is not too bad, and-”
The past month, Weed had improved his skills by leaps and bounds. His cooking skill reached level 6, and his repair skill reached level 4. Skill repair is so useful that some players are encouraged to learn it, unfortunately cooking skills are almost extinct, except for professional chefs.
Weed's bandage skill, now level 4, allowed him to heal minor wounds by simply rolling the gauze twice. But the fastest in terms of increase is the level.
He felt like laughing.
A sniff!
However, to Weed's annoyance, Arse often whined in an unpleasant voice. He had no choice but to take care of the donkey General Midvale had lent him. The donkey was indeed useless now, but Weed had to return it safely to the royal stables.
'Dungeon Litvart's. No other dungeon with the same name has been found until now. This place is right.' Weed looked far into the depths of the forest.
'This must be the conselir's trick.'
Convinced that there was something behind it, Weed did his best to analyze the quest objective from a different perspective.
'It must be hidden somewhere in the dungeon, untouched by anyone, the secret room.'
Weed began to browse from the first floor to the fifth. For the ranger and adventurer professions, which have a lot of statistics and observation skills, it is certainly easier to find a hidden entrance.
But Weed could only do basic things, relying on normal vision and fingering the entire suspicious area to search for "secret rooms". There were at least 20 players on each floor of the Litvart dungeon. While hunting monsters, they commented about Weed, who was acting strangely.
"What did that man do?"
“Looks like he's looking for a secret door. Otherwise, let alone the reason for feeling the stone wall like that?"
“Puhaha, you stupid. This Dungeon has no secret room."
"This is the first dungeon discovered when Rosenheim was discovered a few months ago. Thousands of adventurers have gone here. He's trying to bet."
"Bas on a lunatic."
They openly laughed at Weed, because they were jealous of him easily hunting in the dungeon with the help of 30 NPC soldiers, it was no wonder that he was the target of jealousy.
“To beware-”
“Be careful, don't let him know we're following him.”
Some players followed Weed secretly, thinking that he might have heard valuable information from NPC soldiers during the quest. If true, they even thought of forcing Weed to split the quest.
In their eyes, this madman was a low-level archer, and had no melee combat skills. Can only do menial work for the soldiers and stick to them like parasites.
However, after a week passed without any incident, the players who followed Weed were irritated at the feeling of having wasted time following him. Weed was completely obsessed with exploring the dungeon, so they abandoned him.
"Snake man!"
“Sial! I've wasted my time.”
Even after they left him alone, Weed still continued his activities.
'There must be something.'
Many adventurers have finished making maps throughout this area, and are convinced that there is nothing left. This was also what Weed had told him. In fact, he had already done a search while still hunting kobolds and goblins, but failed to find anything meaningful. Still, Weed was confident that he would find something later.
'Famous adventurers from all over the continent have explored this place. So why? You're wrong, I'm right.'
The Litvart Dungeon was a very spacious place. Take a walk with great hope to find such a secret place of hope as far as the distance between the earth and Andromeda.
Although adventuers are better at observation skills, an act can make a difference.bWeed patiently fingered the wall to look for clues.
A sniff!
Arse looked at Weed with disdain. He had brought the donkey with him into the dungeon because no one else could take care of him, but he felt dizzy by the unruly beast.
"I've got to teach him a lesson."
Weed brought Arse to the goblin gathering place on purpose, one goblin warrior and three goblin raiders. As soon as they saw Weed, they immediately attacked him. He stepped forward as if to protect the donkey in front and fight against the goblins, shouting, "Oh my God! I don't want to die!"
The goblin warrior spear floated towards Weed but just grazed him, spitting a little blood out of his skin.
"If-if I get killed now, what will happen to my dear Arse." The goblins continued to attack Weed.
"No! I'll stay here to protect Arse! Here you are, ugly monster! Step over my body before you can touch it with your dirty fingers!"
Weed acted like a brave knight protecting the weak at the risk of death. However, when he looked back, he saw the donkey was yawning and playing with pebbles on the ground. Also the beast was ready to run out of the dungeon in case the owner died.
"Bad you!"
Weed was embarrassed to see it. Why fool yourself just to win the heart of a donkey?
Sashhh!
Weed killed the goblins in one fell swoop. He was tempted to behead the donkey, but losing the general's trust was too much of a risk.
A sniff!
Arse looked at Weed lazily, as if to say why he had to show a bloody scene when he could finish it with a single slash.
'Whoa. I feel stupid acting like that. Patience, patience.'
Weed went back to exploring the dungeon.
Three days later, on the tenth day of the search, he found a hole in the dark corner of the fourth floor where the goblin raider was regenerating.
The hole was located 10 meters deeper than the regeneration site. Not even the most cautious ranger would find him. Under a large rock jutting out, the hole was covered in shadows, hidden from human view.
'Is there anyone there?'
While looking around, Weed made sure no one else was following him. The person who had followed him for a week had left, but excess vigilance would not be detrimental. If this hole was what Weed had been looking for all this time, then he would be the first to find it, and he did not want to share his appreciation with others.
For the first player to discover the hidden area, the reward was truly great. He got a fame, also a doble EXP and a higher drop percentage of items during the week after his discovery.
Weed crept in the hole carefully. The path was narrow enough that it looked like a gorge between the rocks, and the inside of it widened little by little. Then he got on a path that could make him move comfortably. A moist stench pierced his nose.
Quickly, he prepared for battle. He did not know what would happen next, so he tightly held the iron sword in his right hand, while the potion and bandage in his left hand.
'Just be!'
Along the cave there are several branches. He chose the path to the left and entered it, and found a giant thousand-footed animal at a dead end.
“What the fuck-what monster is this? I've never seen a worm-”
Before Weed finished his words, the circumstances around him underwent a drastic change. Something that he thought was dark ground, it turned out to be a thousand-footed animal that was the size of a little finger.
Squirm!
Like Moses splitting the Red Sea, the insects spread and then returned to attack Weed, creeping simultaneously.
"What the fuck! Damn you!" Weed swung the iron sword like a spinning windmill. It is swarming by squirming insects nibbling on its skin.
The little insects were almost harmless from having a weak attack, but the big worms up ahead were like queens spawning them faster than Weed was exterminating them. He really missed his men in the expedition quest.
"I'd have solved this problem sooner if they were here."
Suddenly, the queen spouted green-colored smoke. Like black ink dripping into clear water, the smoke slowly spread in that narrow spot, and eventually reached where Weed was.
When he inhaled it.
You've been exposed to poison!
Reduced HP!
Weed was surprised after checking the stat window, he laughed faintly.
HP reduced by one point per second!
“Sial! I don't have an antidote! If this continues-”
Out of desperation Weed ignored the little insect, ran towards the queen and slashed it with the iron sword. The hard shell of the queen worm cracked, and a yellow liquid flowed out.
"If I have to die, I'll take you with me!"
Weed ignored the small insects crawling on the body and bit him. Whether they bite him or not, he's already dying.
Weed had only two options, kill the queen quickly and leave from there. As if realizing that their mother was about to die, the small insects swarmed Weed aggressively, but the iron sword was very persistent. The shell of the queen worm is so hard, that even if the outside is cracked, the worm still survives. Meanwhile, Weed's head felt very dizzy.
'I'm gonna die here. Suppose I have combat skills, skills? Why don't I think about that!'
A skill that Weed had never used before! He had a very wasteful attacking skill of mana and could not last more than a second. Whether it succeeds or fails, the situation is already quite dangerous.
"Sclupting Knife Technique!" Iron Sword Weed let out a white light. His sword temporarily defeated the enemy's defenses.
Cracks!
Finally, the worm queen's shell shattered into pieces.
Level Up!
Weed skipped the stat window and shouted out loud,
“Stat Window Quest!”
Litvart Dungeon Expeditionary Quest [II]
There were a hundred monsters inhabiting the Litvart dungeon. Kill all the monsters that are there without a remnant, and prove yourself worthy of a respectable profession. Completion of this quest will pave the right path for your destiny.
Difficulty Level: Unknown
Quest Terms: None
Even though he was exposed to poison and in a dying state, Weed smirked in satisfaction, "I made it!"
Weed finally found the answer to the quest from the Counselor, to get the profession. The answer is the queen worm in a hidden place in the dengeon litvart.
"I have to cure this poison first."
While being chased by small insects, Weed hurriedly left the dungeon. When he saw that the insects were unable to cross the final boundary of the dungeon, he began to slowly walk towards the surface with his donkey.
When a player is poisoned, his face will blacken. Weed avoided contact with other players to hide the fact that he was poisoned.He replenished his HP little by little by consuming potions and eating the food he had cooked before. If he wanted to, he could definitely find a team that had a priest. But he felt better dead than to ask for help. Was Weed too arrogant to ask for help?
"Omong empty!"
There were no poisonous monsters in the Litvart dungeon. Neither kobolds nor goblins had any knowledge of toxic substances, let alone used them.
The person who helped him would want to know where and by whom Weed was poisoned. He would rather die once than tell others the location of the secret room he found after a long struggle. After he came out of the dungeon he immediately rode on his donkey.
"Village. Go to the nearest village. Hurry up, or I'll pass out."
A sniff!
The beast did not even move a single leg. As if enjoying the misfortune of others, Arse pretended to be deaf and scratched the ground. He gnawed at the grass as if protesting.
"If you want to be like that, then-" Weed's patience had her bang limits.
“You didn't give me another option.”
Weed took out his sclupting knife. Arse looked terrified at the sharp object, a few seconds later he regained his composure as if he knew Weed was just threatening. Instead of slashing Arse, Weed cut his own hand with a knife. Had he lost his sanity to the point of injuring himself when his HP was already very little due to the poisonous gas?
"Hoho."
Weed sneered cunningly, even though his vision had blurred due to the lack of blood. He gripped the donkey's jaw and forced it to drink its blood.
“Look, now that you have drunk my blood, you are also poisoned. Take me to the village, or we'll both die. I'll come back to life, but you'll never live again, okay?” The donkey ended up galloping into the village, although its speed was no faster than before.
When he reached the village, Weed was given a healing spell on the verge of death. He bought herbs and potions for 20 gold. Even though the money ran out, he had no regrets.
Weed quickly returned to the Litvart dungeon, after believing that no one was watching him, he entered the hidden room where the millipedes had injured him.
He even took Arse there. He was afraid that other players would steal it, although the idea of getting rid of it with someone else's hands was very tempting. But he did not want to know what would happen if he failed to return the donkey to the royal stables.
"Continue following me from behind." Weed ruled over it absolutely.
Arse wiggled his tail in resignation.
Weed started slaughtering the worm queen. The small insects gave a small amount of EXP, and as they surrounded Weed from all directions made it difficult to finish them off. Like the saying that no swordsman could catch raindrops coming down from the sky, Weed ignored the insects covering the entire floor.
"Sclupting Knife Technique!"
The secret sword technique of Zahab.
His skill shattered the shells of enemies with a power that instantly shattered his shell, breaking through their resistance and defense. Sometimes, Weed found a larger worm queen, requiring 2 or 3 attacks, which sometimes required him to take a break to replenish mana.
He continued to be poisoned and ganged up by small insects. With HP dwindling, Weed always almost failed to escape death. The more he killed the worm queen inside the dungeon, the more anxious he became. Who would believe that he did this quest in order to obtain a profession? Most players had already chosen their profession before even reaching level 10.
On the other hand, Weed had already reached level 62, and this dungeon was still a life and death challenge for him. He could only imagine what kind of profession would require such an exam.
Number of Remaining Monsters: 1
On the day of his fierce battle, there was only one more monster left to be killed.
'The queen of the queens!'
She's five times bigger than any other worm queen. When Weed entered his throne room unprepared, he immediately received a very thick welcome of poisonous green gas, which the worm queen had prepared for him. Usually Weed would let poison gas hit him, but now he immediately jumped back from having an unpleasant premonition.
Melt's!
Small insects touched by the smoke melted within seconds.
"The terrible poison." Weed's heart beat faster.
The only way to get away from the poisonous gas is to shoot from a distance. But the arrow is not to penetrate the hard shell of the worm queen. He must get into the range of poisonous gases.
The worm queen knew Weed's dilemma, and she prepared poisonous gas in her mouth, waited for Weed to approach and showered him with the mainstay poison. Like a snake waiting for the right opportunity. The worm queen and Wed looked at each other fiercely.
'He could only spray thick poisonous gas once. If I could avoid his first attack, his second attack would be much lighter. The first attack will determine everything.'
Weed's eyes lit up brightly as he looked at the treasure located behind the caterpillar mother.
"I'm not giving up here. Suppose I had someone who could be sacrificed to poison gas. Yeah, I think I found the answer."
Weed's eyes narrowed, from the slit of his sight was a stupid Arse.
A punt!
Weed kicked Arse's butt suddenly. Arse plunged forward, and the worm queen reflexively exhaled poison gas towards him.
'Sorry, Arse. It's your destiny. Life is not fair, and this is the end of our relationship.'
Weed could not sit still hurting the end of the poor animal. When he was sure that the poisonous gas in the mouth of the worm queen had all been spouted out, Weed immediately attacked him.
"Sclupting Knife Technique! Double Dance!"
Weed swung his sword wildly until his mana ran out. Using the Iron sword in her right hand, and the sclupting knife in her left hand, she tore the shell of the worm queen. As it did not have good combat skills yet, this was the best choice for Weed. The worm queen thrashed, but her large size made her unable to avoid Weed who was very close to her.
Mooa!
The worm queen finally closed her eyes. Then a key fell off his body.
'There we go!'
Weed took the key, put it in the keyhole of the treasure box and turned it clockwise. He found several volumes of books and a scroll of parchment in the box.
The successor of the Legendary Emperor!
I am Geihar Von Arpen, the first emperor of the Versailles Continent, who ended the eternal battle.
My old days were far from satisfying.
No one acknowledges my predicament, my superiority!
Why does no one understand my profession?
Why does everyone look down on my profession?
Because of their prejudice, talented people refuse to accept my goodwill and become my successor.
And so do my children.
People are pathetic and heartless!
They don't deserve to be my successor.
I entrusted my secret to you.
Emperor Geihar was the first and only person to ever rule an empire in the history of the Bernua Versailles. After his death, the empire split apart, forming the present kingdom, but his achievements have been recorded as legend. Weed was very happy.
"It turns out there were also people who were stupid in the past. They should have known. This is an incredible opportunity. Who was Emperor Geihar? He was the first person to rule the entire continent with his own strength, and this was his profession! It must have been great, but they judged it superficially."
Ding!
Hidden Profession!
If you accept it, you can use exclusive skills related to this profession. Do you want to accept it?
Weed shouted out loudly, "Of course!" Just then, his avatar was shrouded in a bright light.
