Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 102
102mad mafia (1)
“What, what! suddenly…….”
“earthquake……?”
Sleeping explorers wake up to the sound spreading through the ground..
I realized.
Once you are Hans, you are always Hans..
‘I never thought changing my name would be of any use.’
Hanst sighed deeply.…….
No, I took one last look at the man who will be remembered as Hans G from now on..
“Me, I didn't do anything.!”
Yeah, I guess so..
How could you open a crack here?.
It's just my luck.
“Bjorn?”
“run!”
I grabbed Misha and started running..
That's because I don't have time.
There was no explanation, but Misha asked..
“…It's as if a crack has opened?”
“okay.”
Just like in my life, something crazy happened again..
Of course not the kind of shit that threatens my life..
but…….
‘Nimiral, how much did I spend?.’
I chose the rift I wanted to enter and purchased the items accordingly..
I was so excited that I even enchanted the lightning attribute..
But, oh my god, what is this?.
“Bjorn! excuse me!”
I don't know who he was, but he messed up my plans..
Is it a player??
Or just someone with a lot of knowledge in this world?
Well, you'll get a feel for it when you go in..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
A portal was formed in the direction Missha pointed..
By now, thousands of portals have probably been created throughout the first floor..
“Missha!”
I was afraid she might fall, so I pulled Misha and held her in my arms..
And I jumped into the portal..
***
「The character entered the first floor rift..」
***
Kwaang-!
After landing with a heavy noise, he lowered Misha he was holding..
And I immediately checked the surroundings..
Perhaps they had just boarded the last train, but three men and women had already entered the crack first..
First, I looked closely at each person..
“Oh, the barbarians and beastmen are already reliable. Nice to meet you. Please call me Carlson..”
First of all, a human man.
He is around 170cm tall and his weapon is a sword..
If you were to express your first impression with an animal,…….
Hmm, I guess a rat would be about right..
“…It won't be a burden. Abman Urikfried..”
The second is a beastman man.
Judging by the round ears sticking out on top of their heads, they appear to be from the Black Bear tribe, one of the seven major tribes..
Characteristic features include a rugged, muscular body, and a very large crossbow reminiscent of a siege weapon..
“hello. It's called Gencia Naprin. As for my weapon, I use this sword here. I will try my best not to cause any inconvenience..”
The last one is a human woman.
He is around 160 cm tall and has a pretty face..
Also, surprisingly, he has black hair and twin tails..
It's not that it doesn't suit you, but I never thought there would be people with hairstyles like this..
Anyway, now it was our turn, so I introduced myself as the representative..
“I am Bjorn, son of Thor, and this is Michel. As you can see, it's a group..”
“huh?”
What kind of yes is that?.
When I gestured for him to stay still, Misha pursed his lips as if he sensed my intention. And then her eyes relaxed and she looked into space..
…Is that his poker face??
It was strange just looking at it, so I took control of the conversation before attention was drawn to it..
“I took on the role of guardian within the labyrinth, and I am the most confident in it. What are you guys good at??”
When entering a rift, checking each other's power is the most basic procedure..
“I am a sword! Oh, and I drank the essence of a goblin archer, and was trained as an explorer from a young age, so I have some knowledge of traps and mechanical devices..”
A woman named Jencia explained herself in more detail..
Not a goblin swordsman, but the essence of an archer?
As soon as I heard it, I thought there was something like this, but it wasn't something I really cared about..
It's not a character I'm raising..
From the beginning, I could tell that he was a beginner just by looking at the equipment..
“I mainly use sword and shield. that… Mr. Bjorn? Anyway, it may not be as good as that, but when I was working as a team, I played the role of receiving attacks from the front line..”
Sword Fighter Carlson was better than Gensia, but in the end they were similar..
At most, about the middle of the second floor.?
Still, seeing as she doesn't reveal her essence as naively as the woman before her, she seems to have a lot of experience..
Hmm, or maybe I just didn't eat it..
‘Besides the power, there are two beginners.…….’
Well, I kind of expected it..
Because the situation is different from when I met Hikurod and Raven. Since it has only been three months since the crack opened, it is impossible to know in advance and wait..
It was only opened on the first day, so it would have been crowded with locals who couldn't even go to the second floor..
‘In that sense, it's also award-winning..’
I looked at the last person in line..
But did I take it as a urging to introduce it quickly??
“As you can see.”
A bear with macho, beard, and muscle attributes swings a large crossbow on his back..
He was the only mid-level explorer among the three..
Like a barbarian, I asked straight ahead..
“I wish you could tell me exactly how trustworthy it is..”
“In that case, shouldn't you say it first??”
Uh, that's right.
“I am a level 6 explorer, and Michal is a level 7 explorer. Originally, I was mainly active on the 4th floor..”
“Okay, I'm level 5..”
Damn, you were top, not mid-level..
Typically, level 6 is called middle level, level 5 is upper level, and level 4 is called top explorer..
From level 6 onwards, the guild even conducts a promotion review, and the gap between levels widens enormously..
Okay, this makes me even more suspicious..
“6Why is someone like a level explorer here??”
“Isn't that the same for you too??”
Tsk, what kind of guy doesn’t say a word?.
“…We originally worked as a team, but circumstances arose so the two of us joined. Since there were no explorers, I couldn't go up to the second floor yet, but the crack opened and I came in..”
When I opened the crack, if there was anyone who was suspicious, the answer I prepared to give then..
but…….
“What a coincidence. I am similar. Well, it's been a while since I left the original team..”
Huh, Nimiral.
‘It's true, it's true?’
Although I wonder if an arrow wrapper who is tough enough to play solo really exists, I can understand it when I look at that macho man's face..
‘Still, I have to be most careful with this guy..’
Mr. Bear was designated as the No. 1 person to watch out for..
The force you have is force, but every single circumstance is suspicious..
‘In the first place, other than this guy, there is no one who can go to the second floor at this time and dig up a grade 8 magic stone..’
Of course, this is only based on the circumstances that have been revealed..
Carlson and Jencia.
We can't rule out the possibility that these two are hiding their skills..
“Ah, but who came in first??”
Soon I asked calmly, as if it were a question purely out of curiosity..
Who really opened the crack??
In fact, unless the three of them are fooling around, I believe that this question alone will reveal their true identity..
but…….
“well? I think we all came in together.…….”
“It's so simultaneous that I don't think it's possible to say who came first..”
“You care about strange things..”
After all, I am not allowed to eat raw food?.
Phew, fuck.
Well, this isn't even a mafia game..
***
Someone unknown opened a crack.
This ruined a lot of my plans..
First of all, it is a matter of distribution..
“Okay, then it's decided..”
After discussion, Misha, me, and Mr. Bear each took three shares, while Carlson and Jencia… For short, it was agreed that ‘Jensen’ would share one share..
Because the world of explorers is heartless..
“It won't be that much of a loss. I will give you all the remaining essence..”
“yes…….”
Commonly known as kicking the ladder.
That's what I did to the dwarf and Raven at the Blood Citadel..
For your information, I also tried to do it..
Well, what is left of making concessions and considerations in a place like this?.
‘Wow, he seems more compassionate than he looks. I said I wouldn't even give you magic stones..’
My plan was to open the rift by the third day..
And they tried to monopolize everything among the locals on the first floor and make them do nothing..
However, a variable called Uncle Bear arose, and we had no choice but to make significant concessions in distribution..
First of all, Misha decided to eat the guardian essence, but…….
When a number item or crack stone is dropped, I have to roll the dice with Mr. Bear..
‘Ha, I’m not confident about dice..’
I'm already feeling sick.
It's not that I'm confident of losing, it's that I'm not confident of winning..
So, I tried not to create a variable called dice itself.…….
“Then let’s leave quickly.”
I shake off my regrets and move forward..
A formation with ‘Jensen’ on both sides behind me, Mr. Bear behind him, and Misha behind him..
crackling.
Like walking on thin ice, I hear a cracking sound every time I walk..
It wasn't a particularly wrong description..
'Cause we're passing over a frozen lake.
It was a fortunate part of the misfortune..
‘I guess I can use the stuff I prepared..’
1There are a total of four floor cracks..
Depending on the type, the monsters that appear, difficulty level, and rewards also differ..
So where should we go??
After much deliberation, I chose one place, and coincidentally, that was where I was walking right now..
[glacier cave]
2Level 8 monsters that appear in the beast's den.
A crack opens when you offer the monster's magic stone to the altar..
Please note that the only selection criteria was Missha..
Well, I also reached level 4 this time and had one integer digit left.…….
‘There's nothing worth eating..’
Even if it is a crack, it is a crack on the first floor..
Even the guardians are only level 7, and they don't spit essence that suits me..
‘That's probably why this guy willingly gave up Jeongsoo in the first place..’
Anyway, I decided that it would be more efficient to raise Missha for now and use it to fill the empty space with better essences later.—.
Uh, no, but wait a minute..
For some reason, I think it was like this last time and Einar left for the Holy Land.…….
‘I hope it won't happen again this time... ji?’
“why does it suddenly stop?”
“It is nothing.”
I shook off the thoughts that suddenly bloomed and focused on my surroundings..
Still, didn't it come into the crack?.
Moreover, there is also an unknown mafia, so this is not the time to be distracted..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-.
frozen snow mountain.
Snowflakes fluttering from above.
And the sunlight reflects off the ice, making it feel even warmer..
‘It feels strange to come to a place like this after always being in dark places..’
After walking for about 30 minutes, the lake area ended and a suspicious cave appeared underground..
For reference, there was one monster blocking the way..
“Ohhhhh!”
7Grade Monster Yeti.
‘Gatekeeper-class elite monsters that only appear in ‘glacial caves’ and appear from the beginning..
Zencia muttered as she looked at the guy who let out a threatening shout as soon as he saw us..
“Seriously, should I grab that and go down??”
The answer came from Mr. Bear..
“I don't know what it is like here, but in cracks, the path is usually where the monsters are..”
An answer that makes me nod my head as a gamer..
Somehow it feels more suspicious.…….
“Don't go out and die for no reason, stay behind..”
“…Is this really okay??”
'Jensen' looked at Misha and me thanks to Mr. Bear's kind consideration. Well, I have no conscience risking my life fighting with a guy like that just for 10% of magic stones..
So I just said so..
In the first place, I think it would be uncomfortable to just lie next to him..
“I do it first.”
Soon, Mr. Bear lowered the large crossbow from his back for the first time..
and…….
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!!
The battle began with arrows being fired..
