Surviving the Game as a Barbarian

62 fire hut (1)

“Come on, move.”

hurriedly left

Well, I hunted Caniva within 5 minutes until I went through such a hard time, where is the time to rest?

“So are you okay now?”

“I took a little rest, but I think I will live. Thank you. But how long have I slept?”

“It must have been about three hours.”

it’s a frog

In fact, no matter how long it takes, it will probably be around an hour or so.

but… … .

“Hey, you slept that long? Somehow… … .”

Placebo in jargon.

Those who believe that way will be more beneficial to their mental and physical health.

Well, now the problem was me.

“Bjorn, your complexion doesn’t look good.”

Novel from https://readwn.com

Misha, who woke up with a sigh, was no longer behind when moving.

However, my speed was rather slow.

It is natural to do

Just because the natural regenerative power is high, it doesn’t mean that fatigue goes away.

“I’ll take care of you, so how about some sleep?”

No, so thank you for the words… … .

It should sound like a horse.

“Okay, it’s worth it.”

Of course it is difficult.

If you lay down on your back right now and close your eyes, you will be able to fall asleep in a second.

However… … .

“Let’s speed up a little bit more.”

Again, no choice.

The result of a cool analysis of my current condition.

Even if I endure it like crazy, I decided that there would be only a few hours to come. After that, your mental strength and whatever your body won’t be able to withstand.

so that… … .

“Are you speeding up?”

“Yeah, that’s the only way.”

You need to find a safe zone when your stamina is holding you back.

A place that is randomly generated in the witch’s forest at regular intervals and maintained for 8 hours.

Field effects are also canceled there, and no monsters appear.

In other words, you can sleep safely.

“But what if I can’t find it?”

Well, then things will get worse.

Still, the last time I found a safe zone was two days ago.

At this point, it is likely that it will appear one more time.

‘I don’t know, but he seems to be on the lucky side… … .’

Just look at the last time we found a safe zone.

I took a break for a while because I was whining because my leg was hurting, and in the meantime, a safe zone was created right next to it.

“Misha, from now on, you must take the lead.”

“My, mine?”

“You just have to go where you want to go. It’s not like you know exactly what to look for, isn’t it?”

I’m not a superstitious person, but I put Misha at the forefront just in case. And they moved quickly by destroying only the preemptive mobs they encountered.

how long has it been since

“Uh, huh? Bjorn! Look over there! Isn’t that it?”

“… That seems right.”

Is this the law of becoming a bastard?

To our surprise, in less than 30 minutes, we found an unusual tree.

Its appearance was similar to that of other trees, but a purple luster was flowing softly from its bark.

Evidence that it is a medium to a safe zone.

“Good job. Misha.”

“Whew! More praise!”

what else is he saying

After stroking my hair to indicate that I did a good job, I approached the tree.

And with Misha, he put his hands on the shell.

***

“The character enters the witch’s hut.”

***

The moment you put your hand on the tree.

A purple mist wraps around it.

Before long, a warm wind reminiscent of spring blows, blurring the fog that was covering all directions.

aah

Eventually, when all the fog disappeared.

The gloomy and gloomy forest scene was nowhere to be seen.

The floor was a lawn in full bloom.

The skinny thorns covered with only rotten vines were filled with abundant leaves.

“Bjorn! look at this! Aren’t flowers pretty?”

oh yeah

But I saw it last time… … .

“Don’t do anything useless and go in and rest.”

“Hey, who must be a barbarian without romance!”

romance? That’s what I’m looking for when it’s worth living.

If you try to embrace romance right before you die of starvation, in the eyes of others, it’s just a palace or self-deception.

profit-.

Leaving behind Misha, who had strangely raised tension, she opened the door to the central hut.

One bookshelf, dining table, carpet, stove.

Contrary to the name of the witch’s hut, there was nothing special about the interior.

An ordinary hut that anyone can imagine.

‘Still, I think Raven or Dwalky would have liked it.’

Wizards love this unusual space.

There are also books on the bookshelf, so you must have checked that as soon as you arrived.

But I am a barbarian.

It is also in a very tiring state.

dump-

So, I went straight to the bed and lay down like I was about to collapse.

Then he buried his face in the pillow and cried.

“You sleep on a chair this time.”

“Oh, I see! You must be tired, so you should rest in peace.”

Being physically limited, Misha sent me to the rocking chair where I slept last time.

Tadadat, taddat.

As I closed my eyes, I heard the sound of burning wood from the fireplace. As if Misha had already taken a seat, there was a steady creaking from the chair.

squeak, squeak.

“… Proud of you, Bjorn.”

Consciousness gradually faded away.

***

Is it because I am very tired?

I’ve been dreaming for a while

I was at work like any other day.

I was doing administrative work, and when I got home from work, my ex-girlfriend came to meet me.

… He was wearing black stockings.

Anyway, we went to my bedroom and ordered chicken together, and we each did our own thing.

I played a game.

The child quietly read a book in one corner.

A peaceful silence followed.

When it was time to sleep, we naturally hugged each other and fell asleep.

That was all the dream was.

As soon as I realized that all this was just a dream, I was kicked into reality.

A small hut I found while wandering through the witch’s forest.

The old bed there.

A huge barbarian body that filled it up.

When he wakes up from his slumber, he must lead this monstrous body and face real monsters in order to survive—

This was my reality.

‘… So let’s do what we have to do.’

It didn’t seem like he could sleep any more, so he turned his head to check the stove.

The bonfire, which had been burning brightly before going to bed, had lost its power and was almost going out.

That means this hut will be closed soon.

I also checked my watch to check the amount of time I was sleeping.

‘Still, I mean, I slept for nearly 7 hours.’

It was a little strange.

There was no alarm, but my body woke up at such an appropriate time.

“… … .”

I forced my eyes to close and looked up at the ceiling.

As I slowly awakened my mind, a strong headache erupted from the back of the head.

It’s like the brain is whining that it needs more sleep.

If I sympathize with such a weak heart, there is no bottom or end, so I raised my upper body.

I don’t know why… …

‘When did he come up again?’

Novel from https://readwn.com

Misha was sleeping with her body on top of me, lying on her back.

It also drips with saliva.

It’s quite comfortable, and he’s constantly spitting out the rustling sound of his breath.

‘Is the chair uncomfortable?’

She lifted Misha’s head and rolled it roughly to the side, then got up from the bed.

Waking him up in advance will help him control his condition, but for now, let’s let him sleep a little more.

Dumpling, Dumpling-

I stretched out and relaxed my stiff body.

Then I went outside the hut to get some sun.

To be honest, it was quite refreshing.

‘… Was it because Misha liked seeing flowers?’

When I think about it that way, I can understand Misha’s emotions, but it’s still difficult to empathize with.

It’s not that there’s anything wrong with it, it’s just a matter of taste.

When exposed to sunlight, it feels like vitamin D is synthesized, but flowers are self-hypnotic, aren’t they?

Placebo is less effective.

By the way, let’s wake up slowly now.

“Misha, wake up.”

“Ugh, five minutes… … .”

“Calm down, it will soon be time to leave this place.”

“Then until then… … .”

what do you say, boy

I was so drunk that rational thinking seemed impossible, so I forcibly grabbed my waist and lifted it up.

and swung up and down.

“Ah! Aww! Oh, I see! I woke up! So stop!!”

“I do.”

“Ignorant barbarian senility!!”

You should have woken up when you woke up like that.

He handed the canteen to the wheezing Misha.

I’ve only tried grunting once anyway, because it doesn’t seem like he’s doing that out of anger.

“… Ah, thank you.”

It seemed that he had just woken up, so Misha and Dorando sat down and chewed the bread and jerky.

It’s right after waking up, so I don’t have an appetite… … .

If you go out, you won’t have time to eat comfortably.

“When you’ve finished eating, take it easy. There are only a few minutes left.”

“I see.”

Soon, Misha slowly awakened her senses by doing something absurd in the national gymnastics.

But is it because she’s agile?

The body is incredibly flexible.

“I, Bjorn… … .”

While I was organizing my backpack during the rest of my time, Misha spoke to me while stretching.

“Something.”

“Hey, Hikurod, Dwalky, and Rotmiller… … .”

“Just say it out loud.”

“How do you think the three of them were? But, are you still alive?”

Well, that was the question too.

I thought it was time to get out.

As a human being, it is common for people to have different thoughts when their body is livable.

I answered without hesitation.

“I do not know either.”

“Yeah, but it’s not something you can predict.”

It’s not a prediction, it’s a hope.

Before the needlessly lengthy conversation, the conversation was decidedly cut.

“It doesn’t change my predictions anyway.”

There is no meaning that they lived or died.

Even if they find themselves in a difficult situation, what can we do when we are lost in the Witch’s Forest?

First, you have to focus on surviving.

After all, it’s the result, isn’t it just natural to go back to the city?

“So, once you’re all relaxed, check your equipment one more time.”

Because that’s all we can do right now.

Tadat-

The fire that had been burning until the end was extinguished.

“The Witch’s Hut has been closed.”

“The character is moving to the Witch’s Forest.”

Now is the time to get out.

***

「The status abnormality [Witch’s Eye] is upgraded to level 6.」

“The status abnormality [Witch’s Eye] will be upgraded to level 7.”

「The status abnormality [Witch’s Eye] is upgraded to level 8.」

「The status abnormality [Witch’s Eye] goes down to level 9… … .”

***

Day 11 of entering the labyrinth.

In other words, it was the 8th day after the fact that she was in distress in the Witch’s Forest.

「The status abnormality [Witch’s Eye] is upgraded to level 10.」

Now I really don’t even have time to breathe.

You have to keep walking.

[The Witch’s Eye] should have entered the highest stage now.

Because it was calculated that Carnivaro popped out even if he stayed in one place for only 3 minutes.

‘Still, the fortunate thing is… For now, there is nothing worse here.’

That is, assuming that no other variables arise after that.

Of course, there is also the possibility that the variable is a positive variable.

For example, an integer, an integer, an integer… … .

‘Fuck.’

Wandering through the Witch’s Forest, we had to hunt down many monsters regardless of our doctor.

But the water did not drop.

That was a very sad part.

If you just come out with anything, your fighting power will increase even a little, and… … .

Some Essences had enough efficacy to change the situation 180 degrees.

If I were to pick it as a representative, it would be just like this bastard.

“Bjorn! That’s the location lamp over there!”

“Hurry up and grab it.”

A rank 9 spirit-type monster witch lamp.

It looks just like a goblin fire.

Its combat power was also poor, so it was at a level that could be dealt with without any problems with elemental deals.

Active skills are no different than garbage.

Anywhere except the Witch’s Forest.

「The Witch Lamp casts [Witch’s Lamp].」

Summoning skill [Witch’s Lamp].

Surprisingly, the summoning object is a ‘witch lamp’.

Yes, this bastard summons himself.

In other words, if you eat this essence, you can summon and use a witch lamp.

“Jeongsu, come with me!!”

Novel from https://readwn.com

Misha chanted a spell and instantly killed the witch lamp that had grown from three to six.

However, again this time, there was no water.

Afterwards, if only this young essence comes out, it would be possible to use this guy as a guide and get out of here right now… … .

‘At the end of the day, do I have no choice but to endure until the last day?’

Realistically, that’s the most likely.

On the third floor, the labyrinth is closed on the 15th day.

If you survive the next four days, you can return to the city.

The problem is, though, that I can’t be confident that I’ll even survive those few days.

“Misha, how is your stamina?”

“Um, it’s hard, but it’s okay to take a break for a while.”

Last night, I was lucky enough to find another hut and rest for a while.

It was a discovery and a break after nearly 50 hours.

In a nutshell, it means that I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t eat properly, and just moved.

‘Even because I found it late, I only had 4 hours of rest.’

Finding the hut is pure luck.

So, if you are unlucky, you may not find a single hut for the remaining four days.

That’s why I turn on my eyes whenever I see a witch lamp and hunt.

It’s better to try everything you can—

“Bjorn.”

Novel from https://readwn.com

Misha, who was walking in the front, stopped.

So I stopped thinking and looked ahead.

“Explorers Party.”

For the first time since I was in distress, I encountered a non-monster being.

And I still didn’t know.

“Barbarians and Beasts? Maybe it’s just the two of you?”

Is this a positive variable or a negative variable?
