6. The Miracle of Granting Life
Inside the underground dungeon once more. They were bringing back the sculpture that took some time to sculpt.
'To subjugate the enemies with only the gathered Undead proved to be too difficult. I need something that would turn the tides over.'
"Just like the saying 'it has to be by one's own efforts can one survive'. Last night's created sculpture will be a great help."
After he mastered the skill Nature Sculpting, the Sculpture Pieces looked different.
The interior and exterior surface of the material felt different.
- You can feel a form of Mana that re-energizes you when look you at the sculpture.
- Your Mana increases exponentially, by simply appreciating the difficulty of carving the sculpture without damaging the material.
Even though the ore was hard to beat into shape, the continuous shock from the pummelling transformed the ore.
"Smoothly and accurately."
Ding!
Completed Sculpture!
Due to the effect of the artistic value of the sculpture endurance has risen significantly.
For the contribution to the arts infamy decreases by 2.
Another advantage of being a Sculptor!
The sculpture was completed. It greatly increased Endurance, dropped the Notoriety stat by 2, and increased Fame.
Weed laughed satisfactorily.
"This sculpture also indicates the Sculptor's mean spirit"
'I think I'll have to place this impressive work on a high place for display.'
"My Fame is still high, and the degree of difficulty is extremely hard for this quest. But this quest has also increased my Notoriety. I'd have to make a lot of sculptures to decrease it."
"At the end of the day. If there is an opportunity to gain something, even by doing evil acts I'll just scratch those off as allegations because of my Notoriety."
"From this moment on I will be a changed man, badder than the baddest Boss! Everyone better watch out for Weed!"
Mining also increased a substantial amount of Notoriety because of the damage it brought to the land during mining precious minerals.
"I better make a ton of sculptures about angels and young children. In order for my Notoriety to go down faster."
==============================
When Weed was not logged in, the glossy sculptures Yellowy, GoldenBird, and SilverBird would search for loot and items.
They were living sculptures by the power of Sculptural Life Bestowal at the expense of Weed's own experience. They were forced to earn their keep even, if they do it little by little.
GoldenBird, SilverBird, and Yellowy were worried.
"Master has been making sculptures for quite some time now. He will surely rejoice when we show him the mountain of loot that we've gathered within this week."
"Being stinkin' rich is all well and good, but I have to improve my sculpting skills. Being a Sculptor means that improving my Sculpting Skills should be my highest priority."
"We are not aware of Master's true personality. It's good to know that Master has a calm and gentle side to him."
"Yellowy, I'm not really sure of my personality either. If you look at a good man he would know that he can't be sure of the people he would meet and what potential roles they would play in each others life."
"A man gets to eat and live his own life, but from the point of view of the animals they are herded and raised as livestock. Horses live their life according to the good will of their masters."
"Yellowy, that’s not the kind of relationship we are in."
The unfortunate reality of this dialog was that his life as a sculpture wasn't to his liking. Yellowy wanted to have a lot of daughters. Weed would've smacked him if he said this.
Anyone could clearly see the undeniable facts from his eyes.
Weed's increased level of power of the undead had an adverse effect on the sculptures that he made.
Weed simply made numerous carvings that did not intrude on emotions.
"Hmmm. OK, looks like it works sometimes."
You have completed a laughing girl sculpture.
Your problems fade away as you see the naive smiling girl.
