Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 123

123stagnant water (2)

“Misha and I have a simple relationship as colleagues..”

“Is that so? iced coffee… also…….”

After all, what is it again?.

As I was taking a sip of my drink, trying to ignore the look in my eyes that seemed to indicate that I knew that, Dwalki hit his head on the table..

puck!

For some reason, a kid who can't drink well had a few drinks..

‘Nimiral.’

Anyway, this is how the midday drinking party ended, not lasting even a few hours..

It was still midday when I left the stretched out Dwalkie in the care of my best friend, the dwarf, and left the bar..

thus…….

‘I guess I should just go to the library..’

I canceled my plan to go home and rest and changed my destination..

Because there are still many things I don’t know about this place..

‘It's almost the same, yet subtly different..’

Just look at the trolls I met this time..

I stabbed him in the eye and made him blind, but he felt the magic and rushed at Dwalki..

There was no such setting in the game.

But, you never know. There might have been something like that written in the books of this world..

You should not be satisfied with just in-game knowledge; you need to study consistently..

‘Auril Gavis. Anyway, I have to keep looking into that name..’

Somehow, I seem to read a lot more books here than when I was in civilized society..

“You're safe..”

Afterwards, when I arrived at the library, Ragna welcomed me with sleepy eyes..

How many months have passed since the announcement was made??

Still, we have become closer than before..

Now, to the point where I'm even trying to be the first to do it..

“Even if you said you rested because you just came back two days ago, why didn’t you come yesterday??”

“I had something else to do.”

“I know you're busy as an explorer, but that doesn't mean you should neglect your studies..”

He also has a really strange side..

The barbarian told me not to neglect my studies..

“I get it. Then please.”

“…Vierdo Parsitiev.”

After briefly saying hello, I received the [Special Book Detection] spell as usual and entered the building..

And this time, we mainly looked at content related to monsters. Originally, it was an area I didn't look into much because I had knowledge in games, but things have changed..

“I'm getting really hungry so I guess I'll have to go. Good luck.”

“excuse me…….”

“huh?”

“I still… no. don't mind.”

It was dusk when I came out of the library..

But what is this again?.

“Hello, Mr. Yandel..”

When I returned to my accommodation, thinking that I had had a worthwhile day, there was someone wandering in front of my door..

A woman with an appearance that exudes a certain elegance, dressed in black from head to toe as if at a funeral..

So, his name is…….

“you… urban?”

“…It's Julian. Julianne Urban.”

“Yeah, that was the name..”

“…I heard it from Peta, but I didn't know that you really wouldn't remember it..”

She let out a weak sound and twisted her curly brown hair between her index fingers..

It may be a simple habit, but it may also be an unconscious feeling of nervousness..

‘His expression doesn't look like that, but is he nervous??’

With that in mind, I first asked.

“So who is Peta??”

Lady Urban's eyes trembled at my question..

As if I heard something unbelievable.

“…Do you not even know the name of the Peta branch leader??”

“ah.”

That was the mustache guy's name..

But how do I know that.

I've never made a clear statement until now..

To be honest, I didn't feel embarrassed, but I didn't show it and got to the point..

“So what's going on here? And that too alone.”

“Since you won't meet me, I have no choice but to come to you..”

“Apparently, I rejected that offer..”

“Can’t you just consider it that desperate??”

I was desperate…….

It is clear that there is a story, as the local head's daughter even said this. It's probably hard to tell others..

Otherwise, there's no way he would come alone in front of the hostage taker..

But, I'm a barbarian who doesn't know what's wrong.

“Okay, go back. I don't want troublesome things.”

I wiped away my curiosity and entered the room..

The car is just about to close the door.

Kak!

Lady Urban quickly puts the parasol in the crack of the door..

Of course it couldn't work out.

bang!

The door was closed tightly, smashing the parasol with just a little force..

“uh?”

Lady Urban, perhaps not expecting the situation to proceed this way, urgently knocked on the door..

“Now, just a moment! Just talk! It won't take long—”

“stop and go back.”

“No, really! Aren’t you curious? why am i like this?”

“I'm not curious.”

“Hey it!”

Did my stubborn attitude work??

Lady Urbane, who had even accidentally broken her parasol, kicked the door nervously and disappeared with a stomping sound..

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief..

‘Well, luckily it looks like I got through it well.—’

Again, again.

At that time, the distant sound of shoes started heading in this direction again..

Could it be that I still haven’t given up??

Knock knock.

As soon as I heard a knock, I made a snoring sound..

Drurr.-!

Without any further response, I decided that if this were the case, the other side would completely give up their minds..

“Haha, really, why me?…….”

The sound of lamentation was heard beyond the door..

But now they have decided to change their strategy??

“I know you’re not sleeping, so I just listen..”

Lady Urban speaks quietly and whispering from beyond the door..

“Brown Lotmiller. Be careful with that person. I don't know the details, but I met my father today... Wow! What if the door suddenly opens?!”

…It was worth a listen.

***

Two men and women in one room late at night.

Only awkward air flows inside it..

That's natural.

I even opened the door, but there was no clue..

“So that's it?”

“yes…….”

Rotmiller was called to the regional director's office and came out within 5 minutes..

That was the end of the information given by Lady Urban..

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have opened the door..

“So what is your purpose??”

Since this is what happened, I decided to calm down and solve my curiosity..

Because I’m already more curious.

Why does this girl, my daughter, go against my father and tell me this??

Lady Urbans muttered with a solemn expression..

“My goal is my father's downfall..”

“…huh?”

“I can not help it. If things continue like this, I will really have to live like a doll. In any case, Mr. Yandel’s cooperation is essential for this.—”

“scram.”

“yes? No, you seem to have misunderstood something, but if you help me, Mr. Yandel will also benefit greatly.—”

What is the benefit.

There's nothing to be gained by losing with the local chief..

“Wow!”

Although it was only a short time, I was able to see how persistent this woman was, so I took her in and sent her outside..

And then I closed the door and locked it..

But is my consistent attitude slowly taking effect??

“if… If you change your mind, please come see me. Oh, and be careful. My father must have done something to that man named Rotmiller..”

With those words, Lady Urban left without making any more fuss. So, I washed up and went to bed..

‘Rotmiller... I guess I'll just have to watch it first..’

After that, normal times continued..

I ate meat cooked by Misha every morning, and spent time at the library at lunch..

When Erwen, who said she would come once a week, came, the three of us had a meal and became friends..

Oh, there was also one regular meeting to plan the next expedition..

[Last time, a troll came out from the 4th floor, but it looks like we were the only ones who were particularly unlucky. There doesn't seem to be any problem on the floor, so I guess we can go as planned. What do you guys think??]

I watched Rottmiller throughout the meeting, but I couldn't find anything unusual..

If I had to pick one, it would be that it was quieter than usual..

Because of this, my mind became more complicated..

If something was discussed after meeting with the regional head, I was secretly hoping that it would be said at the meeting..

‘…Just ask me outright what I did when I met him.?’

There was an option to attack head on, but I put it on hold for now..

Since there is still time left before the labyrinth opens, I decided that it would be better to approach it more cautiously..

Anyway, time has passed since then and three days ago.

[With this, I have paid off all my debt. Please give it back quickly.]

[…Can't you just give me this??]

I received 5 million stones from Mr. Bear..

I tried to ask if I could just give him the bracelet, but Mr. Bear shook his head firmly..

Well, I took something that wasn’t even meant for ADC anyway..

This item is most effective when used by a character with high regenerative power..

Your blood fills up during the damage immunity period..

‘When you become a colleague later, you should try to persuade him/her well. Hand it over at a low price.’

After thinking about that, I opened my eyes and checked my watch..

[23 : 59]

15There are just 10 seconds left until midnight.

I closed my eyes again.

「The character's soul resonates and draws you to a specific world..」

It was time to go have a little special day..

***

Hansoo Lee's room, not Bjorn Yandel's.

Although it wasn't my first time, I thought it was amazing and laid down on the bed..

‘As expected, the softness is different..’

There is definitely a gap in civilization.

I didn't buy a particularly expensive mattress..

Well, even in this world, things will be a little different if you go to the highest level..

Hold.

When I lie down on the bed and turn on the computer with my toes, the monitor lights up without even booting up..

So, I got up and sat down in front of the computer..

Because it is a space that is open once a month and for a limited time..

I need to use it efficiently.

Click, click.

First, I went into the exchange..

Most of them were the same as when I last saw them, but new posts were being regenerated in real time..

‘I'll check back here later.…….’

Opened the chat room list.

When I first came here, I didn't have enough time to leisurely use this feature, but that's not the case this time..

[Wizardry]

[Gather the beastmen]

[elf of night]

When I looked closely, I could see that, unlike [New Vibrant], which had around 10 people, there were a lot of people in the occupation or race community..

Well, it would be easy to get useful information if you go to a place like that..

Training methods or something like that..

‘however… Why isn't there just a barbarian??’

As I continued to scroll, I froze in shock..

Except for the dragons, who are blocked from character selection, everyone has a dedicated chat room, except for the barbarians..

No, it's not like it doesn't exist.…….

[Behelaaaa!] - 0 people are online.

there is no one inside.

Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the last access record was several months ago, and there was a red line through the nickname..

It means that you have been exiled or died in reality..

Why are only barbarians like this?.

After thinking about it carefully, there was a reason that made sense..

There are two of those too.

1, The Barbarian was not very popular as a main character..

Before I perfected the Shield Baba training method, I often chose beastmen or elves. Otherwise, choose someone with good late-game potential..

2, The barbarian must enter the labyrinth with a weapon as soon as it starts. Otherwise you'll starve..

A coming-of-age ceremony of extreme difficulty.

And the hardcore growth conditions of having to enter the labyrinth as soon as you open your eyes..

‘There aren't many people already, but even that must have been lost in the beginning..’

For some reason, my empathy level rises and I feel heartbroken..

So I looked for a job community..

[Noblesse] - 21 people are online.

[[Treasure Hunter] - 34 people are online.

[[Sword Master] - 17 people are online.

Healer, archer, swordsman, etc..

There were more than 10 people connected in total..

but…….

[[Shielder] - 3 people are online.

There are only three tanks..

There are 0 ethnic communities and 3 occupations..

“…….”

What path was I on?.

I felt miserable for some reason, so this time I looked for a national community..

Fortunately, there was a chat room..

[Long Live Korean Independence] - 1 person is online.

1It's my name, but where is this?.

It was an overseas game that didn't even have a Korean translation to begin with..

Honestly, I thought there might not be one..

‘Because I’m Korean…….’

I double-clicked the mouse without hesitation..

***

Surprisingly, the moment I open my eyes, I see a room that looks like a noble house..

I thought it would be a basic skin like an empty lot or field.—

“It came ahhh!”

Before I had time to leisurely look around, the player who was online greeted me with a loud shout..

20A man with short hair, believed to be in his early teens..

[Sergeant Lee]

After checking the nickname, I froze..

“This sergeant, you can't believe it…….”

“older brother… Brother, you understand. It was the day I was discharged from the military..”

What kind of shit is happening?!
