skills.
When Weed came plodding along the instructor wasn’t surprised.
“You came here to learn Sailing skills?
“Yes.”
“What do you want to learn?”
“I want to learn everything that helps in quickening a voyage”
“You’re pretty greedy. You have the qualifications?”
“Of course.” The Sailing skill was mostly learned by working the body hard.
“Then follow me!” The Maritime guild was larger than other guilds.
Weed followed the instructor’s teachings on how to row, control the sail, and other skills. To travel fast on the sea, wind had to be used effectively. Therefore, the skill for controlling the sail was essential. All the ghost sailors, and the first mate Nick, didn’t know how to control the sails.
The Ghost Ship was a ship that travels slowly towards its target. Since the ship follows disaster, Weed had to learn the skill for using the sail effectively.
“A ship reacts differently depending on the direction of the ocean current. If you want to sail to the far reaches of the sea, you have to use the currents and know when to quickly turn the helm. To avoid sand bars and marine animals it’s a necessary skill.”
Weed followed his instructions and learned to turn the helm on a small ship. Every time Weed turned the helm the ship slowly turned in the direction Weed wanted it to go.
“You know how to swim? If you fall in the sea and you can’t swim you,die there and then.” The instructor pushed Weed into the water and he practiced swimming. Weed was a natural dog paddler expert. On the stage called a reservoir, Weed polished his art of dog paddling even in storms.
“It’s a weird form, but quick and effective. Even if you trip and fall into the sea you won’t die from it. With this much I’ll say you are qualified to learn the Navigation skill”

Sailing skill was a skill so useful, that it was almost essential for users who started on islands or seaside towns. Even if they didn’t travel the seas often,you could raise several stats with this skill.
“Do you want to also learn the Chart reading skill?”
“It’s necessary to travel the seas, I want to learn it.” Weed learned how to read nautical charts. It was a skill to find a ship’s position from a compass and the ship’s speed by calculating. During a voyage, if a special discovery is found, or affection with marine life forms, an increases in the skill informs the position of their location. Of course the skill level had to be better than beginner for it to be possible. By learning the skill Weed gained 3 stats in Wisdom and Intelligence.
“If you want to learn shipbuilding I will teach you, with your handicraft skill you could learn it anytime you want.”
“I’ll learn it”
By acquiring a skill few stat points and gained. More the merrier was the saying when it came to skills. The shipbuilding skill could be levelled by constructing small boats using wood, since Weed had advanced handicraft and sculpting, it was piece of cake. For ships sailing on the sea the most central thing is functionality. Following that, Weed listened to the instructor recount his experiences of shipbuilding. After acquiring the shipbuilding skill Weed gained 5 Stamina, Strength and Endurance. Even though Weed was pretty much a jack of all trades he didn’t have the confidence to raise the shipbuilding skill to the intermediate or advanced level.
‘It takes too long to make a ship.’ There was also the limitation of only being able to sell and make one near the sea. ‘In that regard a sculptor is much better’
Weed found a positive side to sculpting.
Hunting, hunting and more hunting!
Seoyoon killed all the monsters that attacked her and picked up the items. As expected of a berserker the more monsters there are the stronger they get. Seoyoon was the type of person to dive straight into a dungeon no matter how dangerous it was. Seoyoon cleared the Valley of Echoes, Spirit Ridge, and Cactus Gorge all by herself. In the North she was the first person to discover the hunting areas, so she received more fame, experience and items.
In the area full of high level monsters, Seoyoon hunted in the dungeons and completed quests.
-My fawn has run away from home. If you have the time can you find her?
It was the request of a deer Seoyoon met near a stream.
Seoyoon never spoke in Royal Road except for the time she sent a friend request to Weed. From not speaking, she gained a certain skill.
Soul Conversation: Can converse with animals, monsters, spirits and legendary beings.
Skill not only affected by skill level but also affected greatly by closeness, Charisma, and Charm.
Can send simple greetings, but cannot converse with monsters that have been hunted.
Seoyoon received quests from monster and animals. Quests for her occurred not in towns, but in far places such as a mountain spring.
Just because of the request by that deer Seoyoon cleared multiple dungeons to find the fawn.
Luckily, the fawn was saved by Seoyoon before it almost became food.
-Did my mother send you? Thank you. Since you were able to save me you must be very skilled.
The fawn gave her valuable information in return for saving her.
-There is a necklace with gems, that humans really like, and it was thrown away in that forest over there. If no one picked it up it probably is still there. I want to see that necklace again and mother would like to as well.
Treasure quest, get! Seoyoon headed in the direction of the forest with the necklace.
The Valley of Death, it wasn’t far from the place where Seoyoon and Weed arduously traveled together.
‘He was sick…I made him rice porridge. I wonder if it tasted good.’ At that time Seoyoon displayed great courage, since it was the first time she cooked for someone and personally feeding them.
She was trembling from nervousness so much, she didn’t season the porridge properly; she just concentrated on feeding Weed carefully. The porridge was salty, spicy and bitter! For Seoyoon that moment became a heartwarming memory.
‘I was happy that time.’ When she had travelled with Weed, she didn’t feel lonely, and at times had to she keep herself from laughing.
‘There was that sculpture in the cave.’ She remembered seeing Weed carving a loving couple that cared for each other in the extreme cold. Since she could meet Weed in school she didn’t miss him.
‘I have to be strong enough to support him’ She didn’t want to see Weed killed by a monster.
Everyday Seoyoon roamed the hunting grounds. She spent a lot more time hunting monsters. She was invited by the vampire to Todeum. When vampire lord Tori invited Weed at the Valley of Death, Seoyoon was there with him.
“Beautiful lady, you can visit Todeum anytime.” Tori gave a rose to Seoyoon while Weed wasn’t watching and invited her. Vampire Lord Tori was a very simple vampire. Whenever he saw beautiful women he tried to become intimate with them by saying,
“Beautiful lady, have you thought of becoming a vampire by any chance?”
**Triing!**
-Hidden race ‘vampire’ has been unlocked, do you want to become a vampire?
When you switch to a different race that race’s special abilities can be used.
But, the penalty for dying is 3 times the normal rate of experience, and skill.
There are restrictions on equipment that a vampire and equip and use.
The vampire race’s physical abilities are incomparably greater than a warrior’s and have great vitality, battle ability and they can use magic.
As long as you are a vampire you can promote to a Vampire Queen or a Vampire Lord.
But, if you are killed 7 times or a silver nail is embedded into your heart you return to being a human.
Without a doubt Seoyoon refused.
Seoyoon, who was wary of suspicious people, didn’t want her neck bitten by Tori. When she left Todeum the vampire kingdom, Tori followed her.
“Sure enough, you need to find a good master.” She was incomparable to Weed in her treatment of Tori. She didn’t scold or beat him up.
Since Tori was hunting together with the beauteous Seoyoon, there couldn’t be anything that could make him happier. Even the true blood vampires led by Tori hunted with Seoyoon and grew in level.
