He was now level 134 and had amassed a significant number of stat points. Originally, he didn't pay much attention to them, only allocating points when a problem arose. However, seeing that he had 870 unassigned stat points, he decided it was finally time to distribute them properly.
He allocated 400 points into Intelligence, recognizing that he needed it more than ever. Then, he distributed 100 points each into Strength, Stamina, and Agility to maintain balance. As for the remaining 170 points, he chose to save them for a later date.
"All done," he nodded as he stretched.
"Hmm, now that I have time, I should start making sculptures," he muttered as he sat near the fountain. Taking out a large stone the size of a head, he began to carve it with full focus.
Many people, both NPCs and players, turned to look at him as he worked. However, he paid no attention to them—his entire focus was on the sculpture. Unbeknownst to him, he had entered a trance, his full concentration solely on the stone statue he was carving.
As Blade continued carving, his hands moved with precision and grace, each stroke of his chisel shaping the rough stone into something magnificent. His intense focus made him oblivious to the growing crowd around him.
Whispers spread among the onlookers.
"Is he a sculptor?" one NPC murmured, watching in fascination.
"Wait, isn't that a player? which idiot will choose sculptor as a class?" a player whispered to his friend.
"Why is he making a sculpture here?" another questioned, intrigued by the scene.
Despite the murmurs, Blade remained completely absorbed in his work. His hands moved instinctively, as if guided by an unseen force. The stone slowly transformed, revealing the delicate curves of a woman's figure. Flowing hair, gentle facial features, and a graceful posture began to take shape.
"A mermaid?" someone gasped as the details became clearer.
Indeed, the sculpture depicted a breathtakingly beautiful mermaid. Her long, wavy hair cascaded down her back, her eyes held a mysterious yet gentle expression, and her upper body exuded elegance. Her fish-like lower half was adorned with intricate, overlapping scales, and her tail curled gracefully beneath her, as if she were emerging from the sea itself.
By now, a small crowd had gathered, watching with awe. Even some merchants and adventurers passing by had stopped to admire his work.
"That's not just a sculpture… It's art," an elderly NPC muttered in admiration.
Blade, still lost in his trance, remained unaware of the attention he had attracted. His hands moved with purpose, refining the smallest details—the delicate shape of her fingers, the soft curve of her lips, the fine texture of each scale.
He was no longer just carving stone.
He was bringing beauty to life.

The townspeople of Rollin gathered around the mermaid sculpture, admiring its beauty and feeling a sense of peace in its presence.
"So beautiful," one of them whispered in awe.
Blade looked at the sculpture, realizing that he had unexpectedly created a Fine Piece. Up until now, he had only crafted Ordinary Pieces, making this his first true masterpiece. He examined the sculpture carefully, taking in the delicate details he had unknowingly carved.
After a moment of thought, he carefully placed the mermaid sculpture at the edge of the fountain. The statue now leaned gracefully against the fountain's base, its expression filled with an undeniable sense of longing, as if yearning for the ocean it could never reach.
While the players exclaimed in shock, they all realized they had received a 24-hour buff just by looking at the statue.
"Fuck, who is he?" one player blurted out in disbelief.
"Quickly, invite him to the guild!" another urged.
In Satisfy, Buffing classes were extremely rare, with only a handful of players choosing them due to their harsh leveling conditions. However, now they had just witnessed a sculptor bestowing buffs simply by creating a statue. The value of a sculptor became instantly clear—if they could carry sculptures to different hunting grounds, it would be an invaluable asset.
Amidst the excitement, Blade silently slipped away using Shadow Step.
Rollin Village was a peaceful place, thanks to its proximity to the Vatican, where most nearby monsters had already been eliminated. As a result, this was a small and safe village that didn't attract many high-level players. The only ones present were Priest-class players and a few others just passing through—mostly low-level adventurers.
Because of this, Blade managed to disappear unnoticed, leaving behind only the awe-inspiring mermaid sculpture.
"Damn, kinda forgot about the players," Blade mumbled as he made his way back to the inn. Entering his room, he logged out since his playtime was over.
Returning to the real world, he stretched before heading downstairs. On the table, he noticed a simple note left by his uncle:
"Food in the fridge, warm it before eating."
With a small sigh, he grabbed the food and began heating it up.
