The Legendary Moonlight Scluptor

The Geomchis fight!

Chung Il Hoon was surprised by the farewell. "Hyung-nim didn't recruit that guy? So, Hyung-nim has changed his mind about making himself your successor?"

"Of course not, right now he's busy with the game."

"The point is, Hyung-nim will just let her go?"

"For now, just let him do what he wants. I'm sure his abilities will mature over time. I just need to keep an eye on her while guiding her. But I think about the story. What was his name, Royal Lord?"

When Ahn Hyundo was a child, stories of fantasy worlds were rampant. And there are many stories that tell of modern people moving to another dimension to establish a fantasy kingdom, or meet legendary heroes.

Ahn Hyundo was inspired to learn swordsmanship, because of the stories of fantasy worlds that tell about heroes. He aspires to circumnavigate the world while wielding a sword like a brave hero.

"Say, there are many monsters, there are Wyverns and there are dragons too! How amazing!"

"Na-dragon?"

"At least that's what I heard from him. Although no one has been able to catch these two monsters."

"Yes?" Chung Il Hoon answered him with a bit of nervousness. Started guessing what Ahn Hyundo was planning.

Ahn Hyundo's chest expanded, his eyes sparkled excitedly, "Exploring a fantasy world, becoming a hero, defeating monsters, killing dragons, then emperors, becoming emperors? Hm."

The fantasy world is the best place to apply swordsmanship. The question is how valuable the true value of a sword is. Studying swordsmanship does not guarantee wealth and power.

"To eradicate the evil monsters that threaten humans, so Hoon." Ahn Hyundo stared at the interlocutor without continuing his speech as if he was considering many things.

Makes Chung Il Hoon question him, "What's up, Hyung-nim?"

"If you want to get in there you need a gaming capsule, right?"

"Rubber."

"Message now!"

"Well, Hyung-nim!"

Chung Il Hon swiftly took out a phone to fulfill Ahn Hyundo's order. He managed to order a gaming capsule whose installation usually took two to three days, being only a few hours in the day as well.

...***...

The gaming capsule had been ordered just like Ahn Hyundo had requested. But, upon entering the room, Ahn Hyundo's eyes widened. The corner of his eyes sharpened as he looked directly at Chung Il Hoon, "What does that mean, Hoon?"

In front of them were 5 gaming capsules instead of 1.

Chung Il Hoon inevitably had to be straightforward, "It is the duty of the students to follow wherever a teacher goes!"

"So, you mean, you and the others will follow me to Royal Road, will you?" Now Ahn Hyundo had known his name correctly after being fixed by Chung Il Hoon.

"Yes, Hyung-nim!" The instructors answered him firmly.

Han Hyundo clucked his waist at them one by one, "Then, what about this dojang? Who will teach the practitioners?"

"We don't go abroad. Just to explore the fantasy world. And, isn't there a junior instructor?"

"You want to make me an irresponsible leader, right?"

"Ten-tu no, Hyung-nim."

The instructors bowed in regret.

"Your faces are so funny when they're tense." Then Ahn Hyundo giggled small, "Meaning this game is so good that the four of you want to play too, huh?"

The atmosphere melted a little.

"Please allow us, Hyung-nim!" The instructors bend 90° in unison.

"Alright! Um. My name is Geomchi. Then, Hoon your name is Geomchi2."

"Alright, Hyung-nim." Chung Il Hoon.

"OKAY. You're." Ahn Hyundo pointed at someone to the left of Chung Il Hoon, "Geomchi3. Next, you're Geomchi4."

"Well, Hyung-nim!"

It is customary in the Republic of Korea, that the nicknames of the students in the dojang use numerical sequences.

"So I'm called Geomchi4." Murmured a person who had just been named by Ahn Hyundo.

"Right, you're Geomchi4."

"Kukai!" The instructors tried hard to hide the laughter explosion. After all, they could not avoid this fate.

"Then next, your name is Geomchi5."

Once again, all of them bowed respectfully to the Master. Contrary to the cold sweat that began to wet the back of each instructor.

'What a childish name! Huhoo!'

'*Wherever I go, I'd be so embarrassed to introduce myself.'

'My fateuuu*!!!'

'Really poor!'

Ahn Hyundo briefed his four disciples if he was going to start the game at the Serabourg Fortress of the Rosenheim Kingdom, he had already intended to go through the same diligence as his student who had started the game first, Weed.

After that, Ahn Hyundo led the journey through Virtual Reality. He enters the game capsule first and creates an account under the name Geomchi.

Ding!

When he managed to access Royal Road, Geomchi was slightly stunned by the reality effect that looked as real as in the real world, "It's so amazing!"

Geomchi was silent on the spot for a while to get used to the situation, "I've never felt this kind of feeling before!" He can feel all the activities that occur in the game. He could witness firsthand the activities of the people who filled the city, he could also hear the chatter and sounds of people laughing in the city that was similar to the medieval.

All sorts of things can be witnessed here.

"Our party needs 4 more people of the same level!"

"Sell steel axes at a bargain price!"

"We will visit the Southern villages to trade, looking for other Merchants who want to join. Slots without limits!"

Sniffs!

Geomchi's stomach suddenly protested as he felt the aroma of cooking pass through his nose. Automatically, he turned his head to the origin of the scent, there was a chef who was making delicious food. She has dimples as deep as the ocean, "Sell delicious food! Produced with Beginner level 7 cooking skills. Here are the delicious Mung Beans!!!"

Geomchi gulped helplessly in order to resist the urge to eat, he wanted to buy the food but had no money.

Shortly after, his four disciples finally logged in.

Geomchi2, Geomchi3, Geomchi4, Geomchi5 came simultaneously.

"It turns out Hyung-nim is here."

"Yes Hoon, ah I mean Geomchi2, you're finally here."

"Yes, Hyung-nim." Geomchi2 bowed for a moment before noticing around again.

"Welcome! That sword-" Geomchi4 clucked in awe pointing at a passerby who was carrying a long sword that looked amazing. It was obvious that he was a disciple of a sword master, once a look instantly knew the quality of a sword.

"Katana!" Geomchi continued with a gentle smile, of course he was the one who valued a sword very much. All this time he had greatly enjoyed the moment when teaching his disciple how to use the sword. But, seeing them join him in Royal Road like this, gave off a slightly different impression. I think he's more excited.

"Oh!" Geomchi4 was again surprised as he checked his pockets, "Hyung-nim!"

Geomchi looked at him confusedly, "What's the matter?!"

"I have 10 loaves of bread and a bottle in my pocket!"

Geomchi laughed proudly, "Yes, amazing, isn't it? Then let's try to taste the bread in this world."

Geomchi2, Geomchi3, and Geomchi5 looked at each other before taking the bread out of their pockets to taste.

"Damn! It's chic!" Geomchi5 regretted biting the bread as paper and as hard as stone.

"Is this really bread?" Geomchi2 watched every inch of food in his hands.

"It's even harder than a rock! Did they make it while hunting!" Geomchi3 grumbled as he continued to chew the bread that filled his mouth.

"Before, I had done a little research on the internet. In this world there are not only these breads, but there are many different types of food. This is a reasonable basic level food not worth eating. But, high-level food was also there, and it tasted really delicious. When you touch your mouth, it melts, until you don't swallow it."

The Geomchi4 narrative makes them expect high.

"As I expected, the name Geomchi4 fits perfectly with your intelligence." Ahn Hyundo nodded in satisfaction a few times.

"Hehe, a lot of people say that. But, I'm a little embarrassed to hear it from Hyung-nim." Geomchi4 laughed timidly, as well as feeling happy to get praise directly from his teacher. Even in the dojang, he was liked by all practitioners thanks to his honesty, intelligence and sincerity when helping others.

"That's a fact!" Geomchi5 held both thumbs up at him.

The five of them smiled together. The mood of the Geomchis who logged into Royal Road was delighted, judging by their smiles.

"So, when we eat this bread, we just have to keep chewing it. Yes, I admit this bread is very hard. But doesn't it feel like eating a biscuit?" Geomchi2 continued to chew his bread to find the basic flavor contained in the bread.

"ah! Looking at the taste, it looks like this bread is made of wheat."

"Grain bread?"

"Not bad, after all, this is just the beginning."

"Then let's start the game! First, what animal are we going to hunt?"

"Whatchu mean? We have to go to the Training Hall to improve the skill."

"Rubber. Lee Hyun, no, Weed said that new players will not be able to leave the Fort for 4 weeks."

"Whatt?!!! 4 weeks?!!!!"

"Yes, 4 weeks. Now let's see how good this Training Hall is!" Geomchi led his students to visit a place that was already a virtual training ground for Lee Hyun.

Not knowing the exact location of the Training Hall, the Geomchis spent a lot of time asking people, only being able to find this place which turned out to be only a few meters away from where they logged in earlier.

The Geomchis stopped in front of a white-colored gate that read large, Training Hall.

Their gaze could not stop admiring the beauty of the building from outside the gate to inside the gate. In it, there are some people who are honing skills on scarecrows.

"Oh! So that's how they use it."

"So, we should do the same, right?"

"Rubber. It seems, this place is sort of a training ground systematically to increase stamina."

"Unfortunately, that training method is already very outdated."

"Geomchi5, this is definitely not about the facilities, right?! You know very well, this is of no importance to a true man who pursues the way of the sword." Geomchi scolded him, so as not to go off track.

"Yes, I'm sorry Hyung-nim."

Geomchi gave a short nod, after taking out the wooden sword available to the new players, he directly beat up the scarecrow followed by his students. They had all also heard the story about Weed about his diligence when strengthening the skill.

"Yyattz!"

Booms!

The Geomchis eagerly beat the scarecrow. Their faces looked very cheerful, a little nostalgic for the early days of being trainees in the dojang. They were constantly hitting the scarecrow with the practice method ten years ago. A method long abandoned by modern society.

"Argh! Count even harder!"

"Good! One million twenty one! One million twenty-two!"

They shouted in unison counting the gain of the blows. This has become their habit when practicing in the dojang, giving a feeling of comfort. Although other players would call this action crazy, they would not rest.

A sword practitioner must have strong determination when strengthening sword skills. Then this training will be useful for hunting monsters.

'I must kill the monsters in Royal Road with my sword!' It was this motto that was planted on the heads of the Geomchis by Ahn Hyundo to burn their spirits.

"Ohhooo! Geomchi4 looks like you're pretty good now."

"Hehehe, thank you Hyung-nim, I'll keep working hard."

"By the way, I'm starting to get hungry."

"Hyung-nim, we have two loaves of bread left!"

"really? Can I eat it?"

"Yes, Hyung-nim!"

Geomchi ate the remaining bread. Now, the last two slices of bread have been finished. "Ahhhh! I can finally feel full thanks to that bread!"

"When we feel hungry, then the HP level will drop automatically!"

"You're right, Geomchi3."

"But what will we do later when HP continues to decline. As for now, we don't have any bread left."

"..."

After hearing Geomchi3's words, silence struck the five people. The atmosphere became tense.

"This is a serious situation. What do we do?"

"Looks like I know what we should do."

"Geomchi2, quickly tell me what your idea is!"

"What should we do? Simply put, when we hunt monsters, we will get drop items and make money after selling them. With this money we can buy any food we can afford. Including hard wheat bread that we often eat during this time."

"Oh, it's also true that we can make money by hunting. Good idea, good idea!"

The Geomchis smiled in relief, but Geomchi4 shook his head firmly, "You guys forgot? We're new players, we can't leave the fort for 4 weeks."

"Ohh."

"It looks like we'll soon be starving to death."

"..."

The Geomchis bowed their heads deeply, feeling they did not have the right answers to deal with the strange situation that would befall them. Usually, someone who is experienced about the game will immediately look for a quest. However, they never even imagined that a quest would make money. The only solution they knew was to hunt, unfortunately they had not been able to get out of the fort.

Geomchi held onto his wooden sword tightly, then exclaimed, "We should continue practicing the sword. For now, our task should only be to concentrate on swinging the wooden sword!"

"Good Hyung-nim. We'll just focus on the sword!"

"Oh, Hyung-nim is awesome!"

Geomchi2, Geomchi3, Geomchi4, Geomchi5 applauded Geomchi.

After that, the spirit of the five of them was burning again. They continued their previous activities, beating the scarecrow. Although the stomach felt hungry, but a strong determination would give them a lot of strength.

"Hohohoo. It's like dejavu." Hallo Training Instructors were of course very excited as they watched their persistence.

"Hey, if you don't mind you can eat with me." Friendly, the Instructor invited the five of them to lunch together.

However, as the leader, Geomchi firmly rejected the invitation, "No! We have a self-esteem that must be held high. We don't need the mercy of an NPC. Isn't that right, everyone?"

"Hyung-nim's right! We live dedicated only to practicing the sword! Not begging for sympathy!"

They again swung the sword with a burning spirit, "Yatz!"

A few minutes later!

Rachete! Rachete! Rachete!

"Is not the head of this scarecrow like wheat bread? It looks delicious enough to eat."

"Look at these dangling straws like raw ramyun."

"Totally so."

The Geomchis started to sound ridiculous. Their HPs were forced down drastically for not having any more wheat bread.

Your HP is less than 3%!

Stat Window repeated the same warning several times. But they were forced to ignore it because there was nothing they could do. Even their movement to beat the scarecrow was getting weaker thanks to not having any stamina left.

Shortly thereafter!

Warning: You have starved to death!

You can't log in for 24 hours!

The Geomchis starved to death like starving beggars. Indirectly, those with high self-esteem had died shamefully in the presence of many people.

Because these deaths were very simple, so they did not lose levels nor drop items. In fact, it is very unlikely to die of hunger at the beginning of the game when the way to produce enough food. The events that befell these five sword practitioners were extremely rare.

...***...

Ahn Hyundo gathered all of his students who had come to Virtual Reality to gather together, holding an impromptu meeting.

"Royal Road is a form of a new civilization, but we are too indifferent to its influence."

"Yes, that's right."

"If more practitioners were to spend more time training in this place, where they could fight against various monsters. Then, their motivation to be strong would increase even higher."

"I totally agree with your opinion. Fighting monsters and proving their abilities will bring out the fighting spirit that has been buried."

"Fight in person would be a great opportunity for them to realize the true power of swordsmanship!"

"We must order the disciples to follow our lead into Royal Road. With this, they would easily gain enlightenment on swordsmanship."

"Exploring a new civilization by relying on swordsmanship. This is a very good idea, Hyung-nim!"

Suddenly, the only woman who filled the dojang, she was Ahn Hyundo's first niece to surprise the five of them. "Ohhh! You guys are planning something big behind me!" He immediately raised his hand as Chung Il Hoon was about to deny. He then clucked his waist while leaning to the side of the table, "But, I have to admit it's not a bad idea. The most important thing for sword practitioners is determination! If the enemy, no, if what you call a monster can help the disciples develop, then there's no harm in trying."

"Rubber! That's the core of the meeting this time."

"The plan is to have all official practitioners join Royal Road. So, what is the total number of practitioners in the dojang?"

"500 people."

"If we order 500 gaming capsules. We'll be given a discount, right?"

"Perhaps, I'll discuss it with the relevant party later. But, it's likely to be installed tomorrow morning, because it's midnight now the company's gonna be closed." Chung Il Hoon replied with confidence.

Dojang Ahn Hyundo has the best reputation in the entire Republic of Korea. With this, the dojang receives funding allowances from the World Kendo Federation and the Athletes Association. In addition, they also receive registration allowances from student nurses, plus some people who stay in special dormitories dojang. So, the instructors are not worried about purchasing a fairly expensive gaming capsule because the dojang funds will be sufficient.

The instructor who had the name of the game Avatar Geomchi4 smiled slightly, "That means, we will get 5 thousand wheat bread!"

"Geeh!"

"My nails!"

"Hehehe!"

Some days I revise chapters 1-50 so accidentally not updated.

Rereadable, to verify what has changed.

This is information for people who are lazy to re-read.

The characters' minds will be marked with one (')

Maybe, in the future, per-chapter will only be 2,000-2500 words, let the update a lot. (Over 3,000-4000 words)
