The Road to Babylon

Summary: One single and simple question changed the Legend of Weed. When the Sage Rodriguez asked what power was, Weed answered with wealth. So why not give Weed a class that embodied the power of wealth?

Author's Note: You may have already guessed at this point, but I am in love with Gilgamesh's powers. But can you blame me? He makes being filthy rich cool and epic.

Anyways this note is to tell you or rather ask you to visit the Legendary Moonlight Sculptor Translations sites such as RoyalRoadL if you have not already done so to give them support. :)

I am also going to post this fanfic on their site too, so if do you do visit please read and give me support.

Chapter 1: Heroic Spirit Gilgamesh

"Tell me, Weed-nim what is power?"

Hearing such a question out of the blue made Weed confused. 'Perhaps he's asking because some classes are different and in order to find the one that best suits me he's asking about my view on power, if that's why then...'

In truth Rodriguez had first thought that Weed might be Geihar von Arpen's successor but quickly wrote it off as he doubted Weed was the sole unique one. 'Yes, I will wait for one who is more suited to be his successor instead of this...this...cur..."

Rodriguez had just wanted to give him a quest to attain one of the unique classes as he had given many persistent adventurers before as retribution for any slight he had taken. The best part of about it was the quest were near impossible and the class was hard to bring out their true skills unless they had the patience to nurture the class.

Finally Weed gave his answer. "My answer is wealth. As the saying goes money is power." Usually Weed would have answered something with a white lie, a half truth, but if he did it might affect which class he received and as such he did not want. Of course if it was a class like a merchant than he would point blank refuse.

Upon hearing this Rodriquez cupped his chin with his hands as he thought about the greedy bastard's answer. Most would have answered that was something more on the terms of speed, strength, or skill. But for him to give something as materialistic as wealth, that completely surprised the sage. Still within the numerous quest related items that sage possessed one just might fit the description.

"Please wait for a few moments while I retrieved the necessary item." Saying this the Rodriguez left the room and returned within ten minutes but he was not empty handed as within his hand was a palm sized medallion made of gold.

Upon seeing the item Weed was sure that it was valuable by a large amount even for high level players.

"Weed-nim, here is the answer to your question."

Barely restraining himself Weed took the medallion from Rodriguez's hand and tenderly held it in his own.

Medallion of the Oldest King:

Durability: 1/1

The medallion that signified the journey of hero whose name was lost in time. Not much was known concerning him except the fact that all traces of his kingdom was scattered throughout the world leading experts to believe that he once ruled the world as king.

Tirring!

Road to Babylon

You may be the reincarnation of the unnamed hero whose name was lost in time. However in order to find out you will need to undergo a trial in order to test your worthiness.

Difficulty: S

Requirements: Possess the Medallion of the Oldest King

Rewards: The power of the Oldest King

Quest Restrictions:

Once quest has start it, it cannot be abandoned.

Can only be done by one person

Would you like to start the quest?

Seeing this Weed's eyes widen. For a user like him who was only level 13 receiving an S-rank quest was near unheard of. But it must have be doable since the requirements was to possess the medallion and Rodriguez did give it to him so beginners like him could do it right?

But a small part of him still did not fully trust Rodriguez, he did trust quest just not the person who gave it to him.

"I thank you, oh great sage."

"Nonsense, once you completed the quest please come back I would greatly love to hear you tale."

After the small talk Weed left, intent on training. Remembering the quest that the Instructor Docke Lancer had asked of him before Weed quickly went to the Basic Training Hall in order to accept it.

Once he accepted it he traveled with the Rosenheim Army forces to the Lair of Litvart. The biggest reason for this was to level himself up so he could prepare for the quest that he would undertake.

The friendship he made with the soldiers was just a bonus as well as practicing his cooking, bandaging, bow and arrow, handicraft, and repair skills on the soliders. Not to mention the increase in his leadership stat.

Weed wanted to curse and throw a tantrum and preferably kill hundreds of thousands of players while he was at it, just like he did in the Continent of Magic.*

Problem?

He was back at level effin 1! The quest took him 3 weeks, 3 months in game! And during those times he died numerous times. Not only that he missed events that he could've taken advantage of such as the rescue of the Baran Village! Those precious rewards that he missed out on! It was such a horrible experience that Weed consciously and actively repressed those memories.

You know what the worse part of dying was? Losing your skill masteries at 5% to 7% each time you died, never mind the fact that he died so many times that he was back at level 1.

Before he started Weed started the quest he was over level 50 and now he was a level 1. Never once in Weeds mind was there such a thing of being over prepared.

Usually the skill degradation would stop at the level at 0%, but if you died too much without increasing the skill level...well let's just say it wasn't pretty hence Weed spending a whole week without sleeping trying to get his mastery back up.

Sleep...who needed it anyways? Certainly not Weed.

When they were at a decent level, Weed spent the next 2 weeks (In-game) fighting like a madman against hordes of monsters in way to regain his levels. The lost of sleep during this time would have normally decreased most people's efficiency but for Weed it just increased his fervent determination.

Finally Weed was satisfied when his level was at 89, but it was not enough for Weed. His biggest problem was leveling up his Gate of Babylon and Blood of the Gods. Blood of the Gods was more straightforward as Weed noticed that whenever his level increased his mastery would increase as well and he was currently at beginner level 8 and close to level 9.

Gate of Babylon on the other hand was far harder to increase, It did not rely on repeated usage but rather on the user's wealth. Weed realized that during his time when he created items with his craft skills and deposited within the gate the mastery would increase, so it seemed that it did not matter if it was gold or items both would increase mastery. It was quite useful to carry so much item but there was no battle usage. On the upside he would never have to leave the dungeon when his bags were filled to the brim as he now had an unlimited hyperspace to store his weapons in.

Because of the time that Weed spent training used up the durability of many weapons and he did not bother to equip armor as he wanted to increase his endurance stat as well as fighting spirit. But now that he was at a reasonable level it was time to create suitable armor and sword for himself.

He had received a class unique weapon from his profession quest but he was currently unable to wield it.

Ancient Sword: Ea:

An unique weapon that was born before the concept of sword was even realized. It is a weapon forgotten by legend and time like the wielder himself and is ultimately the symbol and strength of the king who wielded this grand weapon. It seems to contain an unknown power but as the sword's strength is unlocked as its wielder grows stronger, you are currently unable wield even a fraction of it.

Durability: ∞

Damage: 50~100

Requirement:

Must be the Legendary Heroic Spirit Gilgamesh

Level 100

Effect: Locked

He needed to be at least level 100 not to mention even stronger if he wanted to unlock the weapon's special effect.

He already leveled his repair skill to 10 so he learned blacksmithing. Why buy weapons or armor from a store when you can simply create yourself?

Of course that was not all he did when he learned to forge from the guild in Serabourg, he also learned fishing from a fisherman, architecture from the Building Guild and tailoring from the Tailor Guild. His class allowed him to learn any skill to grandmastery so why not take advantage of it? Weed knew that when you advanced in craft skills you gained additional stats to make up for loss of battle skills. His profession as Legendary Heroic Spirit Gilgamesh did not give him any skills. Rather than a skilled master he was more of a warrior with brute strength.

Weed desperately wanted to learn battle skills but before doing that he needed to sell all the loot he gathered and not to mention all the raw materials he had to create new items. First he would create numerous items increasing his mastery and then he would work on the ores. This way his handicraft skill was likely going to be higher equaling higher quality armor for himself.

First though he needed to grabbed the other player's attention. With that in mind Weed walked out into the woods of Citadel of Serabourg. "Summon [Plain Axe]"

Saying those words a golden orb floated above Weed's hand as a wooden handle emerged before eventually revealing itself as the name suggest, a plain woodcutter's axe. It was among the numerous drops that Weed had obtained from the monster he called.

If you were to look closely you could have swore that the trees shivered when Weed grasped the axe with both hand and his eyes gleamed at the trees.

Hours later where once stood a patch of land filled with trees was now filled with tree stumps along with wood shavings courtesy of Weed who used the tree trunks to manufacture wooden beams. He kept the sizable tree branches or parts within the gate, who knows if he would need to use them in the future as materials for sculpture or even fuel for fire?

Weed placed his engraving knife back as he finished scraping off the final imbalance on the last wood beam.

"Summon [white paper]"

Once again an item appeared in Weed's and only this it was materialized through golden particles. He would have liked to have manufacture the paper himself but he alas he did not have the necessary skill to do so forcing him to buy each sheet of paper for 50 coppers each! The agony that passed through him those moments.

He didn't need the building to be a fortress or even a decent shop, just an outside stall enough to attract attention and enough space to showcase all the japtem he had. With in that mind Weed began to draw on the paper for the building he was planning to build.

Satisfied with the plan Weed began to build but when he nearly finished he came upon a dilemma, his skill Gate of Babylon was unique and his alone but if he openingly used it people might get suspicious. The solution was very simple he needed to build a small back room where he could summon the items or japtem without people seeing. It required Weed to cut down a few more trees and a couple more hours but it was worth it.

When Weed was finally finished the stall was easily 10 meters wide, 3 meters tall, and 5 meters long. Not to mention his architecture skill rose up to beginner level 4.

With a snap of his finger the stall, if you could even call it that, vanished into garden particles. Opening his menu he checked the inventory to see that the stall was in it. Normally within the world of Royal Road you had to carry everything on you either using backpacks or not, you did not have a hyperspace where they could store items. But with the Gate of Babylon it was different, not to mention it was unlimited space!

It was a feature that no players until Weed gained had in Royal Road. If he openly displayed there was no telling how many people would go after him for both bad and good.

Walking back towards the city gate Weed purposely chose one of the fewer used gates. Making sure that no one was looking Weed summoned the stall once more and pushed it closer until the city guards could see him. Ignoring them Weed began to hang up some of the japtem on the hooks or tables he made. He then took out the small portable furnace as well as the anvil, and hammer.

Finally after Weed was satisfied he set up a campfire and began to cook. Afterwards Weed sat down onto the mat he set up and took out a needle and strings along with some wolf leather. It was all part of his scheme while he made clothes the smell from the still cooking food would attract customers. By now a few players had passed by him but none of them paid him much notice.

Like this Weed slowly but sure began to attract attention as more and more users paid attention to him and his tailoring skill had by then risen up to beginner level 8 when he finally ran out of materials to make clothes from. Thanks to his handicraft skill the results were that of higher skilled craftsmen who solely focused on the skill.

When Weed finally looked up he saw a small crowd had already formed most of them were eyeing his newly made clothes as well as salivating due to the smell of Weed's simmering soup.

All of them seemed to want to talk, but held back due to the poor clothing that Weed had that even a beggar would wear.

Finally a brave young girl game up. Weed judged her to be Cleric class due the staff and leather armor she wore.

Seeing a potential Weed gave her his best smile and said. "Hello do you want to buy anything?"

Hearing Weed's voice the Cleric seemed to calm down as she realized Weed wasn't like some wild beast due to what he wore. "Ummmm, I want to look at that one."

She pointed to one of Weed's more recent creations the [Wolf Fur Robe]. Weed smiled and nodded as he brought the robe down and handed it to her who upon inspecting the item eye's widen.

It was not a surprise to Weed who knew how hard it was for Clerics to get new armor not to mention his creations had benefits equivalent to armor ten levels above them. Weed knew that the moment she held it was sold, but he kept his patient smile as if waiting for the customer to decided whether she wanted to purchase the item.

"How much?"

"Normally I would be selling it for 5 silvers, but since you are my first customer I'll charge 3 silvers!"

The girl practically shoved the money into his hands into Weed's hand in joy at how cheap it was now. If it was a shop she would have been charged 10 silvers and it would inferior equipment of the same level.

But Weed's manipulations were not done yet as he walked over to his simmering soup and took out one portion of it into a bowl and handed it to her. "As I said before you are my first customer so I would also like to give you this."

Seeing Weed's 'kindness' the girl smiled brightly at him before taking a sip out of the wooden bowl that Weed sculpted beforehand.

Her eyes widened as she realised her vitality rose up significantly. Quickly downing the soup she ran back into the crowd before coming to the front once more dragging a few more users, presumably her friends.

"We would like 5 more bowls of food please."

Weed smiled and said of course as he prepared five more bowls. "That will be 5 silver."

Normally it would be ridiculous to pay 1 silver for a single bowl but after hearing of the effects from their friend they didn't care as they too gulped it down and marvel at the results.

Thanking Weed the party left to hunt while the buff was still in effect. But Weed hardly heard them as word of his magic food had quickly spread through the crowd and more and more people began to buy his food.

Of course there was only so many people that Weed could serve so while people waited they checked out what else Weed was selling namely his light weight armor he made from the skins of monsters he massacred. The japtem was not ignored either as people who needed them for quest also bought them but the biggest buyers were merchants who bought them at a low price and sold them to NPCs at a higher price for profit gaining much level.

In fact Weed's current biggest customers were the merchants who bought as much japtem that could fit in their wagon. It was also part of Weed's scheme as they could easily drive into the city to sell and quickly come back.

Even Weeds first few light armor sold quickly despite the low level since Serabourg was a city where many players started. Weed was just outside the city gates so users could easily shop there without the danger.

Of course provided that you the patience to wait in line that consisted more of 200 users, and it was still growing. By now Weed's stall had become famous that many users from other kingdom was traveling there to buy his items.

But despite Weed's vast amount of items that he had created it came to an end as everything sold out. User were disappointed as they saw Weed's empty stall.

But they were once again surprised as Weed went to the stall's backroom carrying back ores. Once again the crowd watched him work, only this time they watched him melting the ores before giving them shape and then hammering it down to into shape. Many users could tell that his first creation was a low level equipment no matter how outstanding it was for it's level and many began to leave.

However those who had watched him sew from the very first day had a different thought.

'No way, don't tell me that he was leveling up his tailor skill when he began and now he is going to level up his blacksmith skills too! Now, that I think about his cooking skills must be very high too!'

Thoughts like those began to rise among a small percentages as they reevaluated their opinion on the seemingly poor tailor.

But despite Weed's work on his blacksmith skills, he was still selling the very popular food that he made. Although Weed's supply of raw ingredients had depleted players freely gave them their just so Weed would make them food, hence Weed's continuing profits.

However due to Weed's limited supply of ores he quickly ran out of materials to use. Seeing this Weed took out the week gear and weapons that he had made or were dropped by monster and melted them once more in order to forge more weapons and armor.

By now Weed had spent approximately 3 weeks in front of the city gates, doing nothing but selling and raising his skills with no fighting at all. But it was 3 weeks well spent for Weed as the satisfaction of his skill gaining levels was enough.

When Weed finished a item it was sold within the day as people who have heard of Weed's mastery of the blacksmith began to pour in although unlike those who came for the his tailoring they had to wait for the item and when the item was finally finished people began to bid in order to win it since many people wanted it.

Part of this was because Weed's metal creation was in short and limited supply unlike his leather armoring and clothing that he made since he used up all of his materials before people began to buy from him.

People kept pouring hoping to buy rare equipments at a much lower price than those who already established themselves, but one day Weed just disappeared even the stall disappeared. People waited weeks at the location or visited every day hoping the master craftsman would come back up but to no avail.

Weed walked the streets of Serabourg with a genuine smiled on his face, gone were the rags that he had worn and their place was a newly made leather armor he created from skin of werewolves that he had hunted.

No one would be able to recognize him from the poor looking seller of merchandise outside one of Serabourg's gates. And the reason for his big smile was because he had made 10,000 gold. But to his dismay the skill level of Gate of Babylon was only at beginner level 2 even with 10,000 gold, but Weed was still happy because of that 10,000 gold.

Walking to the blacksmith guild Weed greeted the members as he walked towards one of the work stations. Sure his portable furnace and anvil worked but for the best result it was better to work in a facility with all the tools available.

Once there Weed took out several silver colored orbs from his waist pouch. People were under the impression that the best materials to make armor was natural and pure lumps of ores, but that was wrong if you mixed different metals together in certain percentages the combined product would be the best. It was a recent skill that Weed had gotten when he leveled his Blacksmiths skills.

First Weed made the core parts, the helmet, the gauntlets, pauldrons, battle skirt, and boots. Those parts were easy but now was the hard part for Weed as he made overlapping armor pieces to fill the gaps the core parts left. Although it wasn't his first attempt the final result were still less than what weed wanted. But Weed was fine with that, in exchange for more maneuverability Weed had sacrificed some defense.

Shiny Armor Set

Durability: 85/85

Defense: 39

A full armor knight set made from a mixture of melted ores. As a result the defense is higher than normal. The design is unconventional as it decreases defense in certain areas in exchange for more maneuverability.

Restrictions:

Level 100 or higher

Effects: Agility +10

It wasn't bad per say, certainly better than most armor but it wasn't to Weed's standard. But Weed wasn't done as he took out the Engraving Knife and began to etch a angelic design onto the armor. The side of female angel was etched onto the breast plate while the other pieces had cross like designs along wing design.

Angelic Armor Set

Durability: 92/92

Defense: 45

A full armor knight set made from a mixture of melted ores. As a result the defense is higher than normal. The design is unconventional as it decreases defense in certain areas in exchange for more maneuverability. The holy designs etched into armor further increases the defense and strength of the armor as well as lightening the weight.

Restrictions:

Level 100 or higher

Effects:

Agility +15

Stamina +15

25% more damage against undead

25% decrease in damage from undead

Weed whistled as he marveled at the armor. It was easily categorized under rare. Paladins or Holy Knight users would robbed for this armor. Well the target group for him to sell would be low since the armor would last up to at most 200. But still many people would pay for it.

Weed originally was going to make another sword for himself to use, but thanks to his blacksmith mastery the requirements to equip armor and weapons was lowered therefore he could equip the "Angelic Armor Set as well as the Ancient Sword Ea.

Everything was perfect now. Having done all he could for now Weed's was itching for battle. Of course it wasn't just for the sake of battle, but to level. He was on a time limit and he needed to gain valuable items he could not only to pay for Royal Road's monthly fee, but also to support his family.

Weed's current goal aside from leveling up was to discover new dungeons. If he did so his fame would grown and not only that there is a higher chance to gain unique items and higher experience.

Finding new dungeon was not easy as the millions of players among Royal Road had already discovered the more obvious ones and taken advantage, but some still remain unexplored even after they were discovered, such as Eerie Swamp.

The answer soon became obvious when Weed arrived as the foulest stench greeted his nostrils. Calling disgustingly nasty would be an understatement. But Weed persevered as he walked away a mile so the stench wasn't as prevalent and took out some skin from the monsters he killed on his way. Quickly and efficiently, Weed made a mask in order quell the stench even for a little bit.

Putting it on Weed made his way back to Eerie Swamp, and carefully made his way deeper. The swamp had limited light as the distorted trees' leaves blocked the sun leaving little but patches of light through, the ground had a few patches of grass but not much and only under sunlight. But there was a dim light source in the form of flowers. They were rooted into the murky ground with a pitcher like petal directly under the flowers that snatched any bug that wandered in.

As Weed wandered further in he could see why no one ventured in if they ignored the smell. It was sweltering hot especially with the humidity as well as the pesky flies. However Weed who had already experienced the life poverty these were nothing to him!

The monsters roaming around were of the insect variety such as giant flies or swamp mantises. But all of them had a single weakness, their unprotected joints!

Insects may have hard exoskeletons comparable to armor but like all armor the joints could not be covered or they would be sitting ducks, a fully covered duck but a duck nevertheless.

Dodging a sweep from the foreleg of the mantis Weed kneeled down and towards the Mantis underbelly and with several slashes severed the remaining 3 legs attached to the thorax of the monster.

The mantis hissed at seeing his legs dismembered and dismembered with the exception of its two forelegs took to the sky as the protective shell covering its wings move allowing him take flight.

Weed seeing was not about to let his prey go and screamed. "Summon spear!"

When summoning an item from the gate if you shouted a general item category a random item of that type would appear and in this case a spear appeared.

Twisting his hips as he stomped on the ground Weed launched the spear it pierced one of the mantis' wings forcing it onto the ground once more.

Weed had discovered one annoying fact within one hour in the swamp. Unless the monster came in a swarm they would flee if it seemed they would get killed. Weed compensated by making spears that he could launch in order to pin the monsters to a location purposely using heavy materials.

Despite the apparent size of the monsters, they wear deceptively light. Of course not all monsters were like that but many of them were. The reason why was due to the exoskeleton that Weed collected, they were very light yet durable.

Thinking of this Weed began to strategize how to sell them as most classes that could not wear heavy armor suffered from low defense. If he could make armor out of them then business would boom for him. Unfortunately he did not have the necessary skill as a blacksmith to use shells as materials for armor. Even Fabio the leading blacksmith, from Weed's investigations did not have the skill to do so.

Before Weed could finish extracting the materials from the dead mantis however the rumbling ground alerted Weed of the incoming monsters once more. It was a common occurrence for them to come, swarms of ants.

Even for him Weed knew that it was time to retreat despite his reluctance to leave the body that still had a good amount of materials.

The ants were vicious. They did not individually hold much health and rather easily went down after one or two strikes due to their thin exoskeleton, but it didn't matter they would overrun you with sheer numbers and quite easily due to their unnaturally high strength stat and not to mention their toxic bites.. Not even level 200 users would want to challenge them alone.

Quickly Weed ran away but he knew that unless he found a hiding spot he would quickly be overrun, but already having experienced this many times Weed once again ran up a tree. Luckily for Weed those giants ants unlike their real life counterpart had a bad sense of smell so they couldn't trace him and they weren't smart enough to track his footprints either.

Seeing the ground covered in ants, Weed knew that they weren't going to leave anytime soon so he summoned one of the reddish exoskeleton he had extracted from a centipedes he killed and began to cut off the top part with his Engraving Knife. Weed hated being idle even if it was waiting for monsters to turn away so he sculpted while he waited.

Hand sized sculptures that he could easily make without making any large sounds or requiring a large amount of space he didn't have sitting on a tree branch. Weed made ants, mantises, flies, centipede, everything he saw and defeated and if possible from the exoskeleton of the monsters he defeated.

It wasn't long before Weed ran out of insects to carve, so be carved something else. It was mindless at first but as Weed continue to whittle away the exoskeleton it gradually took shape. Before Weed knew it took the shape of Seoyoon.

Despite the small size it was a near replica of her features from what he remembered of her due to the dinner, except she was no longer sitting but rather standing.

A beauty with a murderous gaze.

Without realizing Weed spent more and more time to whittle out the details that he did not care to do on the insect sculptures. When he was done a window popped up.

Fine Piece: You have completed the Beautiful Berserker!

Despite only being the size of a hand, the details painstakingly carved into this sculpture has guaranteed its place in the hearts of many warriors and inspire them to continue! If you show this this warriors their intimacy with you will increase.

Artistic Value: 200

Effect:

Increases attack by 78%

Increases stamina recovery by 20%

Effects stack with other sculptures.

Number of Fine Pieces created: 1

You have gained 23 Art stats

Weed smiled, it was fine piece! Even if a mastered sculptured carved something it could not be considered a fine piece unless a sculpture devoted his heart and soul into the work and it was acknowledge by other users.

Not only that his sculpture mastery leveled up from beginner 9 to intermediate!

Fame rises by 50 points

Art stats rises by 10 points

Endurance rises by 10 points

Vitality rises by 10 points

Intelligence rises by 10 points

But he would have to be careful when he explained what it was made of. If it ever reached Seoyoon ears that he carved her or even did out of a dead insect...he could already see her massacring him 100 times. The horror!

Weed continued to search for any dungeons and after hours he finally found it. The entrance had been hidden due to it being under the trunk of a giant tree.

DUNGEON: You are the very first player to discover Lazarus' Lair

Every day for one week, double EXP and double item drops. The rarest items will drop from killing the first monster of each type. Subsequent kills will drop common items.

Weed without waiting climbed down the hole and when he reached the ground he had to squint his eyes to adjust to the light. Unlike the top the dungeon had far more flowers of light inside giving a brighter appearance.

It wasn't long before Weed encountered the first monster, it was a humanoid insectoid a meter taller than himself. It was too strong and Weed was forced to flee.

Oh, how the mighty had fallen. Before when he was still on the Continent of Magic, he would have not needed to hide but rather just plow through it. This only gave more motivation for him to better himself.

Weed continued to scout the dungeon and made several notes of the monsters available. The first monster he had encountered was a mantis captain far stronger than most of the roaming monster inside. Weed whose current level was 96 had the equivalent stats of 150 level user.

But the average level of monsters there were 160 ten level higher than his. But Weed was more tenacious than a cockroach and picked off the weakest monster he could take off one at a time.

It was before long that he reached level 100 and when he did...

Blood of the Gods has exceeded beginner level 10 and has reached the intermediate stage.

50 additional stats, that was 10 times better than when he reached the next stage of his skill. His class could be truly called a person of brute force, but Weed reserved his judgement until he could see his other skills.

Wisdom of the Gods

As the level of divine blood within you changes so does your thought process and mind.

Beginner Level 1

Stat reductions are decreased by 5% regardless of circumstances

Additional 5% to Wisdom

Blessings and buffs are increased by 10%

Alas it was another skilled that passively boosted his stats. But what caught Weed's eyes was the decrease of stat reductions by 5%!

Within Royal Road when you died you lost stats and experience for your skills by the last 5 points you increase since for each level you gain 5 points! But within this whenever he died stat reduction was reduced by 5%, no other player has reportedly attain such a skill.

It would have been better if it was concerning skill mastery but Weed wasn't going to complain.

Eyes of God

having attained a higher level of divine blood within you your body has changed accordingly. Now your eyes have attain some of the perceptiveness of the gods. Those that gaze into your eyes will know of your divine heritage.

Beginner level 1

Able to see faint traces of mana

Illusion or trickery effective is decreased

Accuracy increased by 10%

Critical rates are increased by 5%

Weed was deep in thought about this skill. It was true that he had noticed a strange amount of colors within his site, so it must be him seeing magic or mana. It was be useful when he battle magic users, but how much he did not know. And the other benefits seemed to be geared more towards archers as he had perfect control of his body so he did not need the system assisted accuracy system. It would still help him.

Golden Rule

People are blessed with innate gravity that attracts riches and you stand above.

Beginner level 1

Monster will drop more money by 5%

Monsters will drop more items by 5%

When selling items NPCs will pay more depending on your fame

Additional 10% to luck stat

"YES!"

A skills that made monsters drop more and made him richer!? Weed loved his class at that very moment. Forget the lack of fighting skills, he loved that skill.

Monsters who were drawn to Weed due to his loud shout made various noises as they found their 'prey' and pounced on him ready to kill.

They were massacred by Weed who had a rotten smiled glued permanently onto his face for the new few hours as he hunted gleefully. The monsters were no longer monster but mere pinatas that he would bash until his prizes came out.

Monsters began to speak in fear of his name, calling him the reaper. He didn't care if they were dead he would keep killing and killing and killing until there was nothing left.

The dungeon only had 4 levels and when Weed cleared the fourth level he was greeted by a set of large heavy doors.

Thanks to Eyes of God Weed was able to see large concentration of mana behind the doors. His skills said faint traces of mana but he was able to dense amounts of mana meaning the boss monster behind the door was a magician class monster.

Up until all the monsters he fought were not magicians but rather melee types. They had fearsome appearance but they were far from the strongest of monsters that roamed the Versailles Continent.

Still the highest monster that roamed the dungeon was level 185. The boss' level should not be too much higher right?

Weed knew that he would not win the first time he fought against the boss, he needed to get some information. Usually it was the scout's job but he was only 1 user so he had to do it.

Quietly Weed open the large doors and had to widen his eyes before he could even see through the dense darkness. Slowly Weed was able to see a faint green light in the back but that was it.

But that wasn't all Weed saw, thanks to his skill he could see a hunched finger filled with mana. The color was sickly green just like the light.

"Welcome mortal. It has been some since someone has set foot within this room."

The voice was raspy as if it has not been used for a long period of time. Weed's senses screamed of danger as he refused to moved closer and instead summoned a bow and arrows.

Arching the arrow back he let it loose a single arrow but before it reached the target it was blocked by a wall of magic that had sprung up.

"Don't you know it is impolite to interrupt someone when they are speaking. No matter, I was in need of a new subject for experiments anyway and you seem to fit the bill with those precious eyes of yours."

Weed knew it was going to be trouble so he took a step back as he prepared to but his foot got stuck much to his surprise. Still keeping some of his attention on the boss Weed looked down to see the heel of his foot attached to a giant spiderweb.

Then it was a rumbling before a evil laugh with silent intervals rebounded throughout the cavern walls. Weed saw for the first time the boss's face and also his name, The Mad Alchemist: Lazarus.

His face as opposed to the monster that were insect becoming humanoid, Lazarus was a human who gained insect characteristics making him far more disgusting.

Then the cave lit up as Weed could see wall covered by numerous giant spiders that were encroaching upon him. It was long before that he was trapped by an unaccountable number of webs.

Even with his high stats he was unable to escape and soon he died.

As a result of his death he was unable to log back in for 24 hours as penalty.

Lee Hyun was beyond angry.

"Why? Why must these unfortunate things happen to me!? Why?"

Not only had he been forced back to level 1 when he was over level 50 and he stepped into the lair of a monster that could trap him!

With not being able to log back in Weed began to gather information on Royal Road once more all the while planning his revenge.

24 hours later Lee Hyun prepared the necessary food that his sister Hayan would need to eat by just simply reheating.

Once he logged back in he immediately went to check what he had lost. Thankfully he did not lose an equipment...but all the experience for his skills had dropped by at least 5% once more! It seemed that only those related with him leveling up the skills by doing had their experience reduced so skills such as Gate of Babylon and Blood of the Gods were fine. But still flashes of him dying hundreds of more times came into his mind.

"Yes, Lazarus will die a painful, very painful death for doing such a thing to me!"

After Weed repaired his armor with his repair skills and buffed himself by cooking some food he had gathered from the insects he set out to gain his revenge.

It was a simple plan. In fact the very region gave him the necessary manpower to take down the boss monster or rather bug power.

He did not use Ea this but rather a bow and some arrows. Quickly searching he found his target the [Titan Ants] that had he had fled from so many times before. First he launched the spear at it then riddled the body with arrows. The ant was unprepared died within 2 attacks.

The biggest danger of killing those ants were that they exploded 25% of the time depending on your luck and that bright light gathered more ants so killing them was not a good died. But for Weed he wanted the ants to chase him.

Unfortunately it took him more time as the ants just seemed to not want to explode. Finally at the 6th ant it exploded. It wasn't long before ten more ants gathered. Weed killed half of them.

Weed ran away on the tree branches will taking shots when he could killing more ants until it no longer mattered. Once the swarm of ants reached a certain point they would continuously gathered more without any of their numbers being killed.

Weed led them through a wild goose hunt through the swamp deliberately taking long turns until he reached the entrance to Lazarus's lair.

To Weed's surprise there was nearly an equal amount of monsters that he had hunted 24 hours ago, well insects did spawn fast so it must because of that Weed thought. But today he couldn't stop and dodged the monsters, If the ants looked to be lost Weed would kill one to get them on his trail once more.

Weed led the swarm to the entrance of Lazarus dungeon within 2 hours. It wasn't something anyone else could do as they would run out of stamina quickly something Weed offsetted thanks to his high endurance and cooking buffs.

Large groups of users could not do so either as the chance of them of the falling behind and killed was very high.

Finally Weed kick the door open loudly and shot severals arrows in, and then used two daggers to climb up the wall on the side of the doors until he was directly above the entrance. This was the trickiest part, as he had deliberately made the ants fall behind so he had time to climb up.

Spotting the ants Weed shot several arrows at them alerting them of his presence as they charged towards him. It was at this moment the large spider within the cave came out. The two different invertebrates set their targets against each other.

And the clash of bugs began...well sort of as spiders were not bugs at all.

For Weed he stayed out of it and even if the ants spotted they could not reach his place since he covered the wall around him with a slippery substance he had cooked. The spiders could pin him down, but they were too busy fighting off the hordes of ants.

It took hours but the giant spiders eventually died. While the amount of spider was large, the ants had a near unlimited supply of soldiers constantly going down the dungeon reinforcing the battle. All the while Weed gave a rotten laugh especially as he heard Lazarus' screams of pain.

Author's Notes:

If you are wondering why everything seemed so quick paced with no action or quests. That's because at Weed's current status he wants to regain the lost skills and levels that he could've gain in those 3 months and hence his endless focus on grinding. Next chapter will be more on interactions and quests.

And if you are thinking of how OP his class is...well he is probably going to be as OP as you think he is.

*As for those of you who are wondering what sort of Quest Weed did, well you'll see later but not now. Part of the reason was because I know the basic outline but I wanted to make it more epic but I don't know how at the moment.
