Quick note: vol 3 ch 4 has been uploaded to vol 3 - translations.
Volume 34 summary, thanks to ajkim
So! In vol 33, the story ends with Weed deathly ill with some disease that's similar to the black death while losing all of his skills and levels except for his 5 sculpting secret skills: Natural Disaster Skill, Sculpture Sword Skill, Moonlight Sculpture Sword Skill, Sculpture Revival of Historical Figures Skill, Sculpture Life Skill, Sculpture Disguise Skill, and any other I might have missed. It's a very deadly disease that'll kill him within 4 days. Earlier on in vol 33, Weed discovered that Nodeley (the person Weed became and is playing the role of in this current quest) was knowledgeable in herbs and making medicine. In one of the scripture notes thing he read back in Nodeley's house before traveling with Seoyoon (playing Hilderen <-- Nodeley's lover) and landing in this time change, that some normal grass growing in forests can act as medicine for certain diseases like the one he is sick with. He tests this out with the knowledge that he will die if he mixes these herbs in the wrong mixture. He lucked out so he survives.
He then uses the sand watch of the time thing (kinda like in the game Prince of Persia) to travel back to his regular time to meet Zahab the sculpture and sword master to ask for his help saving Seoyoon. Even at this time period, Weed is Nodeley so his combat level is 20 something (not his regular 400 something). Once he gets to Zahab's place, Zahab treats him coldly trying to shoo him away (no wonder because last time they were together Weed used him as his slave --> leading to complete depletion of their friendliness levels). Weed then asks if he can make a sculpture before leaving then Zahab says okay. Weed makes a clay sculpture of Queen Ivaine (Zahab's lover when the two were young) then uses his Revival Skill to temporarily revive her back to life so that Zahab and she can spend their time together for the last time as true lovers for a day. During this day, Weed became a full fledged waiter/server/servant for the two to make sure that they'd have a good time. When his skill time limit was over, the Queen returned to dust, but Zahab now considering that he is forever indebted to Weed. Zahab says something like "I don't care if I have to kill civilians, villains, or anything or anyone if you ask of me. You said there was someone you wanted to save, so I'll help you." So they prepare and gather materials to travel for two days and they go back to the past with the time thing. When they're there, they infiltrate the castle where Seoyoon is trapped and saves her (this quest section complete), but it's too late.
(New Quest) She's already been used in the experiment and now is the vessel for the evil demon thing that will be born in 5 hours of game time. In that time, Weed has to find the king, kill him, and break the crystal ball that the king has Seoyoon's life force sealed within. They find the king eventually and succeeds (there's a whole long process to get to that). The creator of Royal Road is watching Weed from his office and is amazed at how disgustingly well Weed is surviving (just like his name states = weed <-- you just can't get rid of it). While the creator's watching, he hears things about the loan sharks trying to get Weed back into their evil schemes to make money. The creator is actually one of the richest man alive (in secret) so he tells the A. I. to take care of the loan sharks thus wiping out their organization. Anyways, so once Weed succeeds in killing and breaking the crystal ball, the group teleport out of the castle. Everyone gets separated because the teleport portal was malfunctioning. Seoyoon and Weed lands in the desert where nothing not even the monsters can survive. They have two water bottles. The quest is to survive and reach this desert tribe's oasis. The way this quest worked was that the users would be dropped off at the appropriate distances from the destination depending on how much water the users were carrying at the time of starting this survival in the desert quest. Also, another condition of this quest was that they couldn't use any skills or magic at all because the heat was evaporating all the mana there is from within the body. They travel from early morning to late night to avoid the scorching heat while taking plenty of rests. They share the water in the day and cloaks at night for warmth with extreme consideration for each other in a way that's it's really touching. They make it in the end after seeing the desert mirages and reaching their limits. Here, Weed being able to use his skills again sculpts a bunch of rain clouds to bring rain in the desert. This change in the past leads to drastic changes in current timeline by turning the desert land into beautiful ravines, rivers, farm-able land. He gains the title "One who brings rain in the desert" so everyone treats him like a king. Next quest is to grow stronger.
This is where the time thing happens. The quest conditions are that 1 day of game time is sped up so that it's equivalent to 100 days. He'll have to spend 22 years in this sped up time condition in the game time. Therefore, the real time he's spending there is actually 80 days by real life time. During this time period, he'd get 100X exp than normal --> meaning that he'd level insanely as long as he works his butt off for the next 22 years. Waste one day = wasting 100 days. Waste 1 day in real life = wasting 400 days in the game. Whatever level and skills Weed acquire in this 22 year time period is to be carried out in the following chain quest of this final sculpture mastery secret quest. Same condition apply to Seoyoon but she has to stay in the city. She gets a job as a head manager for managing and hiring all desert mercenaries. Weed creates a 10 to 12 more sculpture lifeforms and starts hunting to level. By the end of this time, he is at a ridiculous level of 740. He becomes the ruler or the head warrior in all of the desert. The desert is a true place of "survival of the fittest" where the strong rules all.
Note: Once Weed completes this entire "THE FINAL SCULPTURE MASTERY SECRETS QUEST" he'll return back to his normal level (400 something) with all his cooking, bandaging, smithing, etc. skill back and some reward depending on how much achievement he acquired and how high of a level he reached during the completion or failure of final secret mastery quests. It's 22 years because that's the amount of time Weed's delayed the rebirth of the evil demon thing within Seoyoon (that has been implanted by the evil king before she was rescued) to be born and destroy the world. Regardless of Weed failing or succeeding, the current timeline is undergoing drastic change (think butterfly effect with time --> change something in the past leads to enormous changes in the future in chain reactions). Story shows a short glimpses of current timeline where travelers travel down south (where nothing lives and where no one ever goes to). The travelers find that there are massive cities where there were nothing just 2 days before. They ask around and finds out it's Weed's doing, but gets confused when the explaining NPCs tell the story as if Weed's a person from hundreds of years back in history. The story ends with Weed continuing to grow and saying that he now is in charge of a large group of desert warriors (1000 warriors)... To be continued...
By the way, Weed's already finished his set of Sculpture Mastery Quests. This quest he's doing right now is the final secret quest beyond average sculpture mastery quests. As of now in the game, Weed's the only person who is doing a class' Final Secret Mastery Quest. No one else is even close to starting it. Also, the way these final secret mastery quests work is that users have to find them and start them before the NPC dies or the clues get destroyed or cut off like for painters they have to start the quest before the coming winter (in the book) or the quest can't be started for at least another 5 years (until another NPC matures and grows to a level where he/she can give you the quest and its information). Basically until the missing parts of the secret mastery quest clues get refilled by reestablishment of master NPCs and cities that contain clues.
Each class (warrior, knight, painters, cooks, smiths, swordsmen, sculptors, etc.) has their own Final class secret mastery quest. If cooks complete it, then they can cook the most delicious tasting food under the heavens (i'm pretty sure this would give the eaters permanent boost in their stats and even give them imortality for a short period of time even when fighting insane monsters or something), painters = if the complete their final secret mastery chain quest, they achieve this one skill that can only be used once. It's called "Heaven and Ground Creation". The book explained that it's a skill that allows painters to draw thousands of paintings to create anything like animals, people, monsters, land, mountains, and even a completely new continent depending on the artist's creativity and thoughts. This is why the skill can only be used once because it's such a massive skill. The book suggests that the final skill you obtain from this secret mastery chain quests for sculptors is the ability for stop time. The book doesn't clearly state that "time stopping skill" is the skill sculptor will get, but that's what Nodeley (played by Weed) and Hilderen (played by Seoyoon)'s love story is about --> finding clues to the great magician Rodric and the sculptors' time stopping research to see if stopping time is actually possible and if the skill is attainable.
