Surviving the Game as a Barbarian

Episode 90 Player (2)

A time of silence passes.

After organizing my thoughts briefly, I let out a small sigh as usual.

Seeing that day, Ragna opened and closed her eyes.

“It’s calmer than I thought. I thought I wouldn’t believe it if I had to tell you.”

I mean, I actually sighed because I thought I could do this.

“Well, maybe it’s better to just let it flow. Dimensional collapse is a catastrophe that cannot be foreseen, nor can it be prevented.”

Surely that is correct.

Even in the game, dimensional collapse always occurred unintentionally.

Well, there were more times when it didn’t explode throughout the game.

‘It was at the level of whether or not it would explode once in 100 editions.’

Of course, once it exploded, there was no disaster.

I don’t know if it’s the mid-to-late half where I can deal with it to some extent.

At the beginning, just pressing the ESC key and restarting is a way to save time.

“So where does the information come from?”

I calmly checked only to be sure.

Intuitively, I think this is the cause of the anxiety, but it’s still something you don’t know.

“I am a mage of the Tarutein school named Shunal Fergang. He has been studying dimensional collapse for a long time.”

After giving her the name of a wizard, she concluded that she knew nothing more.

“Right. After that, I will find out. Anyway, thanks for the warning.”

As soon as I turned my back to the door, I heard a voice from behind.

“Today is… Are you just going?”

Well, since a new quest has appeared, shouldn’t we start with that?

***

As always, a pub with a loud noise.

The silver-haired fairy, who sat in a corner, tapped the table with her index finger.

It was a habit of her to come out when she had concerns.

“ha… … .”

Erwen, a pretty and kind little brother.

Three months ago, the child had changed.

Not only did he ask for help with the training he hated so much, but he also pushed himself to the limit as if he didn’t even have time to sleep.

And, it got a little sharper.

He was better with blood, but… … .

The way he speaks, his eyes, and his behavior when dealing with other people are completely different from before.

‘It’s not a bad change, but it’s a good thing… … .’

Excessive improvement and wary of others?

As an explorer whose destiny is to enter the labyrinth, it is a welcome trait.

In fact, thanks to that, I was able to achieve a lot of growth.

The younger brother, who succeeded in contracting with the Four Great Spirits, succeeded in building an autonomous will by enlightening three of them.

Where is that?

Archery, chess, and melee combat using daggers also improved day by day.

To be honest, I wonder how this talent hasn’t blossomed until now.

But the cause that made her sigh was the moment of change.

‘How long can you hide it? … .’

The death of a barbarian whom he called uncle and relied on mentally.

In fact, it is ridiculous to say that it is death.

In fact, the party is still alive.

While gaining the reputation of being a small Balkan.

‘Should I tell you now?’

When I first heard the news of him, my emotions were astonishing. Then there was anxiety.

Now I thought it was just a matter of time before I got caught.

But what is this?

Erwen, who was confined to his room every day and devoted himself to training, still did not know the news.

“Did you guys hear that? I heard that the jet black sword might become a disciple of the swordsman!”

“Huh, where did you hear strange noises and spread them around? Swordsman, is it really worthwhile for that noble nobleman to have an explorer apprentice?”

Sitting alone in a corner of the pub, Daria gained relief as she overheard the conversations of explorers around her.

‘Certainly, the rumors are slowly fading now… … .’

Stories once heard everywhere in this city are buried in new stories.

Did you exorcise evil spirits, or did you kill the priest of Karui who escaped into the sewer?

It was a little dizzying when the barbarian’s story appeared again in the tavern… … .

Even that is almost gone now.

‘Yeah, let’s leave it like this.’

Soon, Daria made up her mind.

Actually, it wasn’t something to worry about.

As someone who has chosen to live as an explorer, when will there ever be another moment of growth like this?

“Hey, fairy girl. Have you come alone—”

“go away. If you don’t want a hole in your forehead.”

Pushing the approaching drunkard, Daria left the tavern.

Maybe the barbarian will do something else and become a hot topic, so I visited this place in the evening… … .

It was no longer coming.

smart.

When she returned home, she knocked on her sister’s door.

No answer came back.

I slipped the key in, wondering if I might fall asleep on the floor.

shudder-

The door unlocks and opens with a squeaking sound.

Soon, he sees his younger brother.

My younger brother had his eyes closed as if meditating while summoning all the Four Spirits.

By the way… … .

“I have to… … .”

It’s like his lips are moving little by little, muttering something.

Daria sighed and walked closer.

Then the muttering could be heard more accurately.

“You have to be strong. you have to be strong you have to be strong That way you won’t lose anything. you can have it all… … .”

A younger brother who repeats the same words as if he was brainwashing himself.

“Erwen… … ?”

Daria hurriedly woke her sister up.

Surprisingly, his brother’s expression was just calm.

“Oh, are you here?”

“you… Are you okay?”

“What?”

“that… I was muttering something to myself—”

“yes? Were you just talking to the spirits?”

Just looking at the cancer, it didn’t seem like a conversation to have with the spirits… … .

Daria shut her mouth.

This is because the congratulatory order was issued.

“I’m in training right now, can you come back later?”

“okay… … .”

Daria left the room helplessly.

Then he went back to his room and thought about what had just happened. That’s because it was a kind of thing that couldn’t be dismissed as ‘passion’ or ‘poisonous’.

It was almost like an obsessive compulsive disorder.

10 years ago, it wasn’t like that at the time… … .

‘what is the problem? That barbarian wouldn’t have been in such an important position—’

Daria stiffened.

It was because I remembered the biggest change that had occurred recently.

‘Ah, maybe it’s because I ate that essence?’

Daria pulled out a book from the bookshelf.

In the past, it was purchased at a fairly high price from the guild.

[Lower Essence Total]

A book that contains information on all Essences between the 7th and 9th grades.

First, I checked the water absorbed this time.

‘Where’s Caniva… … ?’

It is a monster that only appears in the Witch’s Forest, but luckily in the process of saving an explorer who was running away from the forest after being chased by it, he got the essence.

‘Oh, I found it.’

As she turned the pages of the book, she read the text while summoning the spirit of fire.

[Canivaro] 7th grade.

Agility (medium), Dark Resistance (Low), Endurance (Low), Accuracy (Medium), Sixth Sense (Low), Hearing (Medium), Obsession (High).

*Increased agility and sensitivity when moving.

*Magic Mine (Red)

*Hound (blue)

*Chasing Arrow (Green)

As she thoroughly checked the contents, she was frozen in one part.

“The obsession… … What is the upper grade?”

She suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, and even checked the essence she had absorbed three months ago.

[Steel Hill Chaser] Rank 8.

Strength (Low), Physical Resistance (Low), Leg Power (Low), Leaping Power (Medium), Earth Resistance (Low), Cognitive Interference (Low), Agility (Medium), Obsession (Medium)

*Increases penetration when a surprise attack is successful.

*Piercing Arrow (Red)

*Terrain Eruption (Blue)

*Weakness detection (yellow)

‘What the hell is this… … .’

Again, there was an obsession.

It was also rated medium.

‘Maybe, that too… … ?’

I even looked at the essence that my younger brother absorbed for the first time.

Then maybe it was

[Goblin Archer] Rank 9.

Flexibility (lower), sense of smell (lower), poison tolerance (lower), cognition (lower), cognitive impairment (lower) Accuracy (lower) Vision (lower) Agility (lower), Obsession (lower)

*Inflicts paralysis poison when using bow weapon.

* robbery

Even here, there was an obsession.

Now Daria pictured the situation in her mind.

The excessive obsession with power was all because of this ability.

‘Then what should I do?’

You can’t erase the essence that you’ve absorbed at the most by paying money.

But my heart is heavy to leave it like this.

‘If you eat a replacement essence… Let’s delete it then.’

After much deliberation, she came to a conclusion.

However, after simply washing up and lying on the bed, she was faced with a new question.

‘Oh, wait.’

If you find out that the barbarian is alive before then… … .

Where will the direction of this ability change?

***

Ten days have passed since I heard the news of the dimensional collapse.

However, is this a groundless rumor or fact, or is it an illusion of a person who thinks it is true?

Although I was quite busy looking around, I didn’t have much of an income.

“Chanal Fergan?”

Raven, who always helped me when I went to visit with a question, didn’t work this time.

“No, that’s why even if you ask me to meet you, it’s the first time I hear your name. In the first place, the Tarutein School doesn’t really have anything to say about exchanges with us.”

“… Right.”

“Anyway, when you come next week, leave the whole day empty. The winner came out by drawing.”

“Winner… … ?”

“Did you forget? In exchange for finding out about paper, you agreed to help my seniors with their research, right?”

No, I remember that.

I didn’t know you were going to pull it out.

‘Wow, I’m getting more anxious for nothing… … .’

You must have been lucky enough to draw in your life.

Anyway, after that, I tried various things to meet the sorceress called Chanal Fergang, but all failed.

Meanwhile, rumors began to circulate.

“Bjorn! Did you hear that?! I was told that there might be a dimensional collapse soon!!”

Novel from https://readwn.com

Misha, who went to meet an old colleague after a long absence, came back and started to tremble.

As far as he knows, it must have already spread.

In fact, when I went to the tavern in the evening, everyone was talking about dimensional collapse.

But the problem is… … .

‘They all don’t even know the source.’

Whose mouth is it coming from?

Also, what is the rationale?

Without any such talk, everyone is raising anxiety and inflating rumors.

‘This… It’s kind of weird… … .’

I felt an unfamiliar feeling.

In order to be widely known like this, shouldn’t there be a plausible basis?

Only now have many myths been added as evidence by the luxuries, but at first none of that was the case.

‘Is someone deliberately raising rumors?’

After watching the situation closely from the beginning, I came to such a conclusion.

Of course, it’s just a guess, but… … .

Even thinking about cancer, the current situation was a little strange.

‘Ha, I think there’s something really about this.’

cramped

I want to know information that is going to and from the bar, rather than coming and going in a more secret place without a sound.

But the wall of reality was high.

How would a barbarian with a reputation for fighting alone get such information?

‘If it wasn’t for Ragna in the first place, I wouldn’t even have known the name of Chanal Fergang.’

Eventually, I made a decision.

In his hand was a letter from the Ghostbusters and the accompanying pill.

For the sake of thorough anonymity, the pill was originally intended to be eaten after at least 3 months, but… … .

‘A month or so ahead of time.’

Soon after, I put the pill in my throat and swallowed it.

「The character has taken GB-027.」

There was no immediate dragging into the spiritual world.

By the way, according to the information found in the secret library opened by Raven and Ragna, the meeting was held at midnight on the 15th of every month.

‘I’ll just have to wait three days.’

Time passed quickly.

And the moment you’ve been waiting for has come.

It feels as if the mind is moving away from the body.

“The soul of the character resonates and is drawn to a specific world.”

When I woke up, there was a computer in front of me.

***

A pure white space reminiscent of the universe.

Perhaps it was difficult to even recognize where the top and the bottom were.

If it wasn’t for that computer over there.

‘What, this again.’

It was a completely different start than expected, but I slowly took a step forward to where the computer was.

It felt like the first time in my life.

It’s like riding a robot and controlling it while walking.

I staggered and arrived in front of the computer, checking the monitor that was turned on.
