“Are you the sculptor that has come to find me?”
Weed politely replied back.
“Even though I am insufficient in a lot of areas, I am a junior engraver walking down the path of a sculptor.
I saw some writings that were left by a senior in Jigolath, and made my way here.
Even though it was a long journey, to see you alive, I am thrilled.”
“I see, I was waiting in this mountain for an engraver to come and learn my skills.
What do you think engraving is all about?”
“Engraving is about……”
He could think of a lot of flattery words about engraving, but had to take his time to rearrange his thoughts.
“It is to show the natural beauty of something.
In fact, there is nothing as beautiful as natural beauty.”
DayCram nodded his head.
“Engraving is a skill to bring out the beauty in the earth, water and wind.
Nature sometimes becomes violent. Even when doing such violent things there is still beauty in it.”
“Of course, I even love those violent behaviors.”
Weed could empathize with those words, had he not been affected by snow storms, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes! If only he wasn’t affected by it, it would have been very beautiful.
“My skills would be able to show the ruthlessness of nature. Even so, do you still want to learn my techniques?”
“Of course, in order to become a better sculptor, I believe your techniques would be required.”
Now He can learn the catastrophic expectations of nature!
A massive attack skill.
But I have to use it first to know how much I can use it!
After leveling the skill a bit, the problem was whether it was to be used on a monster or landscape.
“However, you have yet to see the beauty of nature with your own eyes.”
“Am I still lacking in skill?”
“When you are enlightened of your true strength, only then will you be able to learn my techniques.”
“How am I able to get enlightenment? Please tell me the way.”
“You would have to make a lot of nature sculptures. Would you like to learn my teachings?”
Ttiring!
DayCram’s Teachings
Engraving Master DayCram wants you to build a sculpture of nature with him.
He will help to create a sculpture.
Difficulty: Unknown
Quest limit: Sculptor Only Quest
Compensation: None
Only an idiot would refuse this quest!
Of the four engraving skills passed on, the last one would have to be the best.
Furthermore, while learning shape-shifter sculpture, he learned many other things working next to a master.
“I want to accept the teachings of great master DayCram.”
-You have accepted the quest.
“Let’s start immediately.”
Creating a sculpture of nature was not a tremendously ambitious idea, anything could be used, falling leaves or petals in the wind, anything could be used.
Nature’s own byproducts could be used for the job!
Because nature sculptures can bring the overflowing vitality out, the petals do not dry or rot.
Bees and butterflies flew to the sculpture that Weed and DayCram made.
-Affinity with creating nature sculptures has increased by 2.
It was his first successful attempt.
Far away from the water and on dry land, birds collecting branches to make their nests
-Affinity with creating nature sculptures has increased by 4.
DayCram was really familiar with beasts, He lived together with nature and was very friendly with the wildlife, it was as if the deer came along to eat and play. Weed soon became friendly with the deer as well.
“That looks nice. I think I’ll start with the horns.”
‘It looks delicious. If I sell the horn, I’ll be able to get hundreds of gold!, If only DayCram wasn’t here, then I would have cut off its horns because it would be able to buy meat for the family! If you light a fire, cook it whole with a clear drop of oil and a bit of salt…’
DayCram didn’t eat meat, he lived off fruits that dropped from trees, grass, or tree bark.
“He likes people who don’t hurt nature.”
Even though he didn’t achieve high level cooking skills, like a rabbit, he lived eating grass, and by doing this when he sculptured he was able to be in more affinity with nature.

Winter was closing in, and the end of the semester of Korea University was coming to an end.
“Fleeting Tuition, … Like this I’m totally letting you go.”
The students had many reports that they had to turn in as the professors got more and more enthusiastic.
It’s more about the theories of virtual reality in first year, but they have the chance to experience with the virtual reality equipment after they start their second year
‘The more difficult the lectures get, the more time I have to spend in school’
Lee Hyun was unable to achieve his goal to collect money due to his studies interfering ..
“Haaahh...”
Lee Hyun sighed and stretched, Seoyoon who was seated beside him was in deep thought.
‘Winter vacation will start in about two weeks...’
She would not be able to meet Lee Hyun every weekday like now.
Even in Royal Road, they remained apart as Weed went to Great mountain Dekartel
Though Seoyoon had spent a lot of time without words, she wanted to spend more time with Lee Hyun.
She plucked up her courage, and wrote something on a piece of paper.
Would you like to go to the beach with me?
Seoyoon displayed real courage in suggesting that they travel together considering her situation
If it was another man, they would have made done a happy little dance, and doubted whether it was a dream or not, but Lee Hyun was apathetic
He didn't understand going to the beach in the middle of summer, so there was no way he would understand going in winter
“It's cold so wouldn't staying in home be more comfortable than going to the beach? There’s no need to worry about catching a cold and there’s no need to worry about health insurance”
"......"
The attitude of a man who has no comprehension of romance!
“Traveling takes a lot of money, do you have any idea how harsh it is to go to an overpriced place”
Money. Money. Money. Money.
Traveling will cause him to spend more money
