The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor, Volume 3

This time, the underdog is not leading a party. He is leading an army. Volume 3 of The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor, the 24-volume Korean phenomenon that helped invent LitRPG and progression fantasy. To survive his next quest, Weed does something no sane player would try. He walks into the wild frontier as a human and comes out wearing the body of an orc. Hidden inside the skin of a brutal warrior, the most feared grinder in Royal Road now has to win over a horde that respects nothing but strength and lead it toward a war that could get every last one of them killed. Along the way, he crosses paths with the one player the entire world fears, and what he learns walking in her shadow pushes his craft to a level he never thought he could reach. Meanwhile, something older and far worse than any rival guild is stirring in the dark, an enemy that turns death itself into a weapon. To have any chance against it, sworn enemies will have to stand on the same ground, and the whole desperate gamble comes down to one penny-pinching sculptor holding the line with nothing but grit and a straight face. Off-line, the world is finally starting to notice. The company that built Royal Road wants to meet the player no one can identify, a broadcaster sends a car, and Lee Hyun's face inches toward a spotlight he never asked for. But fame still does not cover the bills, and a younger sister at home comes before all of it. The hardest climb of Weed's life is still ahead. He has no combat class and no shortcuts waiting to save him, only a refusal to quit and a legend that grows every time he should have lost. Perfect for fans of Solo Leveling, Sword Art Online, He Who Fights with Monsters, and Beware of Chicken, and for readers who love LitRPG and GameLit, Korean webtoon and manhwa adventures, immersive VR gaming worlds, and clean progression fantasy built around a hero with a real family to fight for.
