Surviving the Game as a Barbarian

36 Episode Guild (1)

“Hey! Mr. Yandel! Calm down!”

The car where Raven shook Bjorn’s shoulder.

The fainted colleagues woke up one by one.

“Miss Raven? What the hell is this… … .”

“Bjorn! Is Bjorn dead?!”

“miss! Glad you’re safe… … .”

Questions popping up all over the place.

Only Raven could give an answer.

Well, she didn’t faint.

“The vampire is dead. Yandel is alive. Tarzine, I’m fine, so won’t you keep yelling at me?”

“Great! Killing a vampire with one magic shot!”

Hearing Murad’s exclamation, she pursed her lips. I was somehow upset.

It was not the ‘sunspot sphere’ that killed the vampire.

In terms of her contribution, it’s not without her contribution… … .

“… It’s not me, it’s Mr. Yandel.”

“What do you mean?”

“It was Mr. Yandel who killed the vampire.”

Murad furrowed his eyebrows.

“No, this friend?”

I saw him the other day and praised him as ‘special’ and ‘great warrior’, but he doesn’t seem to believe that he killed a level 5 monster.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t understand how she felt.

‘If only I had heard the story… Maybe it was me too.’

Is it because of the distance?

Unaffected by ‘Pain Sharing’, she watched the whole story that no one knew about.

Yes, literally.

just watched

What could a sorceress who had run out of magical powers do?

“Thank you, Yandel, everyone. Perhaps without him, no one would have been able to open their eyes alive.”

“Well, that’s it… Can you tell me a little bit more about what happened?”

I was wondering how I should explain it, and just then, Ainar intervened in the conversation.

“Then what happened to Bjorn! Aren’t we supposed to feed the potion now?”

In other words, if you have a potion, ask for it.

Raven shook her head and answered.

“The potion… It wouldn’t make any sense. From the looks of it, it seems that most of the body has already recovered.”

If you dare to predict, it won’t be too many for this man to eat potions in the future.

Any injuries will heal quickly.

“Then why haven’t you woken up yet?”

“I don’t know that either. However… … .”

“Looks like you have something to point out! what is that? Wizard! Come on tell me!”

Raven took a deep breath and answered.

“maybe… It will be exhausting.”

“… Drained? Didn’t I say that my body was all healed earlier?”

Ainar placed a hand on her shoulder, dirty with dirt and filthy blood.

It looked as if the sky had collapsed.

“Well, are you two really going to be lovers?”

“Ah, ah, no! Why is that all of a sudden!”

“Huh, anyway, I don’t know for sure. I am not a priest I only know of a few cases like this.”

“A case? Miss Raven, is this common?”

“It’s not common, but… Occasionally there are The body is healed, but the mind is not able to recover, so it is not possible to wake up.”

Warriors who are under extreme stress that can remain as traumatic, or who have really put everything into battle, sometimes fall into this state.

After explaining this, Ainar raised his voice.

“I’ve never heard of anything like that! Besides, it doesn’t even make sense! Are you mentally too tired to wake up? Bjorn is not so weak!”

I’m not weak… … .

With that said, she completely agreed.

A few hours ago, I would have snorted inwardly, but at least it is now.

Sure enough, she alone watched him fight the vampire until the last minute.

However… … .

No, that makes it even more difficult.

“To be honest, I am almost certain. The reason Mr. Yandel does not wake up is that he is mentally exhausted.”

Tired of not being able to get up?

It went beyond the realm of being weak and strong.

It was a natural fight.

‘Perhaps this woman wouldn’t have said this to me if she had seen it in person.’

Perhaps today, he himself witnessed an incredibly valuable scene.

“Wizard! So when will Bjorn wake up?”

“I do not know. It could take a day or two at the earliest.”

“Then I’ll be up in a few hours! Bjorn is a great warrior!”

‘… If so, why did you ask?’

Raven’s heart became uncomfortable once again, but for some reason, she didn’t want to shoot.

It’s almost like he didn’t have the energy to do that.

In fact, it didn’t sound as pretentious as it used to be.

“You are a great warrior… … .”

In the eternal history, there are fewer than ten barbarians who have officially received the title from the king.

‘Well, it seems to be used as a compliment among the barbarians these days.’

She put her thoughts together one last time before continuing.

Essence of a corpse golem and essence of a vampire.

A barbarian who also ate the Guardian’s.

The coming-of-age ceremony was completed last month, and was this the second time you entered the labyrinth?

She opened her mouth as she looked at the sleeping barbarian without knowing the world.

“… Maybe, not really.”

Of course, for that to happen, we will have to survive dozens of more crises like today.

‘Are you surviving? … .’

When I woke up, it was midnight.

For some reason, Ainar was giving me a lap pillow, and as soon as our eyes met, he screamed ‘Bjorn!!!’ and made me fall asleep.

“… Where are the others?”

“Everyone is gone! More than that, Bjorn, are you okay? I was worried because I had passed out for three full days!”

It’s been three days?

So, in terms of time, now is the 7th day?

With my mind awake, I stood up straight. And once I checked the status quo.

No visible trauma.

In terms of health, except for hunger, it is generally good.

“By the way, Ainar, what are these pants I’m wearing?”

In fact, the word trousers is pure.

The cloth folds that can be used on a handkerchief are wrapped around my lower body, covering only the important parts.

To be more precise, it would be closer to a skirt than pants.

It’s also minimalistic.

“ah! If that is the case, the wizard has given you the surplus cloth.”

“… Well, are you wearing it then?”

“Of course!”

A bit of shame creeped in, but it was a little less because Ainar didn’t show much.

Seriously, it’s a little funny to see the warriors face each other in this part.

“There is nothing to be ashamed of. After all, Bjorn was a great warrior!”

Well, I didn’t mean to be s*xually harassing.

“… So what happened after that?”

I changed the topic to forget the shame.

I wondered what happened after I lost my mind. Especially when it comes to loot.

“Number Item? Murad took it, and the rift stone was taken by the wizard.”

“What?”

It was a series of surprises from the start.

Being alive right now means I’ve absorbed his essence… Doesn’t this mean that the vampire has dropped all three drop items?

What kind of bounty do you have?

“Oh right! There were no dice rolls or anything like that when distributing rift stones. Because the wizard forced me to take this and make up for the damage… … .”

Ainar continued speaking as if making excuses.

“Murad said he didn’t mind, but he said no to me! But then the wizard said something strange.”

“A strange word?”

“Anyway, Bjorn said you won’t be able to do anything about taking the rift stone with you, since you got the biggest one.”

‘I heard that only the woman that I ate the essence of a vampire seems to know.’

I quietly shook my head.

There was no regret in this distribution of loot.

Whatever the reason, the wizard fed me the essence of the corpse golem. In addition, considering the value of the potion poured on me, the wizard actually lost almost nothing.

If you are greedy for even the rift stone from there, you are just a thief.

Ainar seemed to think a little differently.

“Well, I was told to wait until you wake up and then decide, but I couldn’t help it! After waiting for over half a day, they couldn’t get up, so they all climbed out of the portal and left!!”

“You don’t have to blame yourself. Wasn’t it unavoidable?”

To be honest, I can only imagine the expressions on the faces of those who were held captive for half a day at Ainar’s coercion… … .

It would be better to just compliment him here.

“Thank you. It’s good to have you.”

“… All, of course! Aren’t we friends!”

I checked my belongings that Ainar had gathered.

A backpack, a mace, a few pieces of scrap metal that might have been my shield in the past… … .

‘Still, if you bring it and sell it, the price of iron will come out.’

Once I put everything in my backpack as I saw it, I took out food and a canteen and simply filled my hungry stomach.

And I checked the time.

11:20 p.m.

‘It’s less than an hour for the stairs to close.’

“Bjorn! When you’re done eating, how about leaving? There is not much time now!”

“I can’t.”

I stubbornly refused.

I desperately want to leave this disgusting place right now, but… … .

You’ve suffered so much, shouldn’t you take care of everything you can afford?

I also want to check out the boss room.

‘The necronomicon was taken by the wizard, so there is only one left.’

Looks like I’ll have to move quickly.

***

“You have entered the Crystal Cave on the first floor.”

“The labyrinth is closed.”

“The character will move to Rafdonia.”

***

He exhaled as he felt the sunlight on his skin.

‘Is it barely safe… … .’

Time was tighter than expected.

It took less than 10 minutes to find the item hidden in the ceiling of the watchtower of the outer wall that was climbed up by the ladder… … .

It was tough going to the boss room.

‘… In the end, it was all in vain.’

When I said I waited for half a day, did it really mean the time for the wizard to investigate?

‘Actually, it’s weird that she just passed by because of her personality.’

Broken walls everywhere.

Torn frame.

Even the box of the first shape that was left open and left unattended.

‘There must have been some additional reward, but it was swallowed up by myself… … .’

In the boss room, which arrived at full force, there were already traces of a thorough investigation.

However, rather than anger about being eaten, I was more curious about what the object was.

That’s right, isn’t it a variant rift that has never been cleared?

Is it something that even I, who has been playing for 9 years, doesn’t know?

Curiosity as a gamer is sprouting.

‘I can’t give it to you if you ask for it… If we meet later, we should ask secretly.’

Anyway, I searched all around to see if there was anything the wizard had missed, and time became very tight.

In fact, as soon as we got out of the crack, the stairs were closed, so it’s not enough to even say that it was close.

If I had, I would have caught the boss mob and got stuck there forever.

“Serum, Kennick’s fourth son! The scars have grown! envy!”

“It doesn’t matter! Karak, the third son of Farnun!”

As I was organizing my thoughts briefly, the voices of barbarians came from all over the place.

Fortunately, I haven’t found one yet.

I bowed my head out of sight and headed to the money changer dedicated to level 9 explorers.

Fortunately, we arrived early so the line wasn’t long.

There were no barbarians to bother with.

When I handed the magic stone, the official exchanged it for currency like the last time.

“231,520 stones.”

230,000 stones.

It’s an amount that feels infinitely small compared to the hardships I’ve been through… … .

‘Because that’s not all.’

In this expedition, two essences have been absorbed.

Besides, after disposing of the in-kinds, the profit would be several times the mana stones.

‘Somehow, the magic stone is always wealth, not the state.’

I don’t know if I should be happy or sad about this.

It was a car that had a bitter smile and picked up a pocket.

“That’s too much for a Tier 9 explorer.”

Taking back the pocket that the official had put down, he stares at me with a meaningful gaze.

“What’s in your backpack on your back?”

What do you have?

There’s nothing I can’t answer, but… … .

“… Why are you asking that?”

Somehow the back is cool.

I looked around and saw that the guards were rapidly approaching this way from afar.

It looks like something like the emergency call button that was hidden under the bank desk was pressed.

“Is it interest?”

“Yes.”

I raised my arms to express my intention to cooperate with the authorities, but the guards who had a few conversations with the officials forced me to grab my arms.

Shiba, I just came back alive, so what else is this?

“Barbarian, go over there for a moment and talk.”

Instinctively, I felt something was off.
