Hmmm. This is hard.”
It was the first time creating a sculpture was so difficult for Weed. He was used to feeling like his hands moving on its own, as his skill level was very high. But the higher his skill level was and the more knowledge he had - the harder it was for him to work.
“Damn! Why is it like this?”
Weed had already created many sculptures of Seoyoon, but every time it was getting harder and harder. The more he looked at her, the more he was saw and the more he wanted to convey her charm. And it was an incredibly difficult task.
This time Weed created a Masterpiece and his skill increased by 13%.
But the closer he was to the next level of Sculpture Mastery - the harder it was to increase it. And to actually advance to the next level he needed something special. For example to go from Beginner to Intermediate he had to make a statue of Headless Dullahan.
And to go from Intermediate to Advanced level he’ll have to make something truly outstanding.
“Right. I’ll never pass to the Advanced level with Fine Pieces. With my 63% in current level it’ll take 3 or 4 Masterpieces...”
Now Weed started to closely watch Seoyoon’s every move. Not only in battle, but in-between them too. How she walks, which hand she eats food with, where and how she sat - he was engraving absolutely everything in his memory.
This small and ugly Orc was secretly spying on Seoyoon!
If only she realized that she was accompanied by a player, she’d have gone off far ahead or even kill the annoying little creep.
Sometimes it was difficult for Seoyoon to even look at people, which was why she was trying to hide from everyone by going somewhere remote. Sometimes she wasn’t able to do it, men would chase her everywhere, fight each other, and show off their strength. But she still wouldn’t talk to them, which was getting her into trouble and making her a player killer in the end.
If Seoyoon knew that there was a man besides her, she wouldn’t be able to stay with him.
But not with an Orc! Simple Orcs did not cause any repulsion from her. And that’s why Weed managed to see the real Seoyoon that was fighting monsters and sleeping under the warm sun. Her face still remained expressionless, except for her eyes...
With sadness in her eyes, she was watching leaves falling off trees. She often looked at the small brook in the middle of the Gorge while humbly sitting and waiting for the food to get done.
Once, while walking, Seoyoon plucked a flower and put it into her hair. She herself didn’t notice it at all, but Weed almost jumped from surprise!
“...”
Weed thought that she was a murderer who did not have any place for tenderness in her heart. That was completely opposite from what she was letting others see. But when he witnessed Seoyoon watching with her sad eyes two squirrels play... He understood.
“Yes, that’s it!”
Weed immersed himself into work again.
“When making a sculpture, one shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Even if you think that you fully understand a person, you should stop and think it over. Not everything is simple.”
He might just be making another mistake right now. But this mistake will bring him another step closer to the true Seoyoon.
“I should not only show her cold appearance that catches the eye, but her feelings too. I should try and trust my heart once, rather than think it over again and again. I should try to create the Seoyoon I feel, rather than the one I see.”
Zahab’s knife started to dance in his hands again.
To depict the girl’s appearance was a relatively easy job, but to convey the harmony of facial features their unique fe
