Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 21
21Level up (1)
The tribal leader's eyes narrow..
And very brutally too.
“Where did you hear about spirit imprinting? It's not something young warriors should know.?”
Of course, the first source of learning is games..
There's no way I, who was a dead person, wouldn't know something as simple as that..
But I spoke confidently.
“read it in a book.”
I have nothing to complain about because I have already confirmed that the information can be easily found in books at the library..
“In the book, it is said that spirit imprinting was of great help in fighting against the fairies during the Holy War.—”
“Hahahahahahahaha!!”
The tribal leader burst into laughter as he interrupted me..
To be honest, I was really scared, but it was such a cheerful laugh that I couldn't get tired of it..
“You read a book? How fun! Einar, too, these amazing guys come out two at a time.!”
Fortunately, in the eyes of the tribal leader, the studious young barbarians seem to be a good thing..
“…If the contents of the book are true, I would definitely like to receive secret magic..”
“Certainly, if a warrior requests it, we have no reason to refuse spirit imprinting! But you young warrior! There is one problem!”
“problem?”
“It costs a lot of money.”
What, I was scared for no reason.
Why are you saying such an obvious thing so seriously??
Spirit imprinting requires a lot of expensive materials..
For high-level engraving, there were many things you would receive if you didn't have money or materials..
“ha ha ha! It's amazing that you came this far after reading the book, but it looks like you didn't get to that point.!”
“There is money. How much is it?”
The tribal leader looked at me and said that I was cute..
“The cost of immortal imprinting is, um, about 800,000 stones.!”
I frowned..
Ugh, it's 150,000 stone more expensive than the game..
But how can I pay it?.
“not pay.”
“What?”
“Is that really true??”
The tribal leader and Einar serve as flagships at the same time..
Before I could bother him, I opened my pocket and took out three bills, one worth 500,000 stones and one worth 100,000 stones..
At this, a doubt appeared in the eyes of the tribal leader..
“Bjorn, son of Yandel, where did you get this much money??”
I would have been disappointed if I didn't ask..
I even planned the scenario in advance..
I dramatized what happened with Erwen..
Roughly speaking, while treating the fairy he met on the first floor like a slave, Jeongsoo accidentally came out, and he was paid for this in money by her.…….
“Hahahahaha!! That sucks, you ears.!”
“You're the first to rob those mean ears! Bjorn, son of Yandel!”
The barbarians liked this story more than expected..
Einar and the tribal chief, as well as the elder from far away, came to the side and smiled brightly..
Is there so much accumulated??
“Hahahaha! I don't know how long it's been since I laughed like this!”
Soon the tribal leader took 600,000 stones from my hands..
uh? I said it was 800,000 stones earlier.…….
When I tilted my head, the tribal leader tapped my shoulder..
“This is my gift to a young warrior who has shown great qualities.!”
It felt like my shoulder had been dislocated, but the reward was truly sweet..
Siba, just one word is 200,000 stones.!
Our tribal leader is as hot as a barbarian..
I shouted with all my heart.
“I will continue to destroy all the demons I see so that I can become a greater warrior.!!”
“I look forward to it! Young warrior, Bjorn, son of Yandel.!”
Is this what it means to be more attractive the more you look at it?.
I'm starting to like the barbarians more and more..
***
Spirit imprinting is a type of strengthening technique..
The principle is to infuse the ‘soul power’ contained in magic ingredients into the body to provide special power..
This is also why all barbarians have tattoos..
It is said that tattoos should be made in advance when babies are relatively clean-souled so that their soul circuits can be visible even when they become adults.?
It was definitely that kind of setting..
“I will give you another chance to think about it. If you choose this route, you cannot receive spirit imprints from other routes. Is it okay though??”
“Of course.”
I know all the routes.
So there is no need to change your decision..
Not only does the high-grade engraving of the Immortal Path contain the core of my training method, but even without that, most of the abilities in the Immortal Path are high-performance..
“It looks like the elder has arrived as well, so you can go now..”
“I will.”
After Einar left, the tribal leader took me to the shaman's tent..
And then the procedure began in earnest..
“Hmm, the circuit is pretty clean. If you continue to maintain a pure heart, the spirit will continue to give you strong strength in the future..”
The shaman wearing an eyepatch made an unintelligible sound and stuck a needle along the tattoo on his upper body..
and…….
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…….”
“Young warrior, don't hold back, you can scream. Everyone does that.”
“Wow!!!”
A pain that felt 10 times stronger than the potion hit me..
Shit, I thought it was just a tattoo..
Do I have to feel this pain every time I take the upper path from now on??
“Okay, it's over. I'm tired. Go out and see..”
When the shaman spoke the words he had been waiting for, it was already dark..
The tribal leader who brought me was nowhere to be seen..
“thanks.”
“Hehehe, this is the first time I've seen a warrior say thank you to a shaman..”
huh? Did I do something wrong??
I don't know, but I quickly left the tent before they were caught..
「Activated Immortal Engraving Level 1. Natural regeneration greatly increases.」
「Body stats increase by +20.」
I'm extremely tired mentally, but strangely my body feels full of energy..
Is this the power of the soul??
It's a very strange feeling. For some reason, I feel like I can feel an unknown force inside my body..
I'll check the details later..
“Open the door!”
I soon left the shrine and returned to the inn. After testing my newly acquired abilities a few times, I collapsed and fell asleep..
***
Another day passed and morning came..
I revisited the commercial district I visited with Erwen the other day..
This is to invest all of the remaining 900,000 stones in me as a favor to the tribal leader..
“You are the person who came last time. Is it on sale again this time??”
“No, I came to buy it this time..”
need a new weapon.
The hammer I got from the uncle was sold together last time..
The feel wasn't bad, but the long handle was uncomfortable to use as a one-handed weapon..
“I want to see one-handed blunt weapons..”
“It's a one-handed blunt weapon.…….”
As a result of sparring with Einar, I decided that this suits me better than the blade..
Sword weapon skills require proficiency..
Well, there’s nothing you can’t do if you practice.…….
In the first place, the weapon itself is only used in the beginning, so it is less effective. Anyway, once I get that ‘essence’, I plan to focus only on the shield..
“Hmm.”
The clerk scanned me and showed me a one-handed blunt weapon that didn't look like a single-handed blunt weapon..
The lightest thing seems to be three times heavier than the two-handed hammer you used..
But, this is a one-handed blunt weapon.?
“These are all one-handed mace weapons preferred by barbarians..”
Ah, if it were them, I might die..
Even my shield was an ignorant piece of equipment made entirely of steel..
but…….
“I want something a little more plain.”
“All right.”
There is no need to buy something ridiculous like that..
It would be obvious that with a weapon like that, the destructive power of each blow would be several times greater than it is now.…….
The monsters on the first floor are already almost one-shot, one-kill..
It's not like you're going to be fighting a large monster, so there's a good chance that using a weapon like this will just be an inconvenience..
“how about these?”
Soon the clerk took out new weapons..
Of course, these are far from the general specifications, but they are probably just right for a barbarian's body..
I chose a suitably blunt-sized mace..
“How much is this?”
“25It's 10,000 stones.”
25Only?
Last time I sold weapons for 6 people, it was only 350,000.?
As I frown, the clerk adds,.
“The production difficulty itself is not high, but it is inevitable due to the high steel content..”
Oh, I guess so..
I was convinced..
Although it wasn't without words.
“22If you adjust the price to 10,000 stones, I will buy it right away..”
When I try to bargain, the clerk looks at me with curiosity..
…What a crazy life these barbarian bastards are living.?
“Aren't these weapons going to sell anyway?.”
“Barbarians often come here..”
Well, maybe it's the first time I've shown it to you..
The barbarians I know wouldn't choose something this ambiguous..
Above all, most barbarians preferred bladed weapons such as axes rather than blunt weapons..
When I added those reasons, the clerk agreed to the bargain with such ease that it made me lose my temper..
“great. Selling it for 220,000 stones..”
…20Should I have called only?
「Overall item level increases by +85.」
Anyway, after that, I wandered around and purchased two additional pieces of equipment..
First of all, half armor.
「Overall item level increases by +57.」
It is easy to think of the shape as a bulletproof vest made of flat steel. The price is 360,000 stones, and I was able to get it cheaply because I happened to have one that was the perfect size..
I probably should have paid twice as much if it was custom made..
Like the second helmet I bought.
“3It will take about a day. Write down the address and have someone send it to you..”
In the case of helmets, they had to be custom-made because they had to fit the head perfectly..
Instead of giving up on the design altogether, we were able to reach an agreement relatively cheaply for 170,000 stones..
「Overall item level increases by +47」
As a result, about 50,000 stones remained..
…I don't think I'll be able to eat meat anymore.
***
My daily routine is set..
wake up at 7 am.
And breakfast with Erwen.
“Wow, there are potatoes in the stew today.!”
“But why do you always eat breakfast here??”
“It's delicious and cheap.?”
After eating, go straight to the library..
If you walk slowly, you can get in as soon as it opens at 8 o'clock..
“Parsitiev.”
I've become quite accustomed to receiving magic from this chronically fatigued female librarian..
“Well then, good luck.”
“…….”
Of course, we haven't had a proper conversation yet..
Growling-!
After reading until 4 p.m., I have a quick meal, preferably at the first restaurant I go to..
Well, this place is expensive and tasteless..
There are a lot of explorers, so it's nice to eavesdrop on their conversations..
“Is Einar still there??”
“Yes! Until then, I will deal with you.!”
After a quick meal, it will be around 5 o'clock when we go to the Bavarian's lodgings..
From the 7th day of training, I started sparring with other barbarians..
Like them, I took off my top and fought fiercely, swinging my fists and strangling myself..
Although it was far from the systematic fighting techniques I expected.…….
Sparring with barbarians who had extremely developed instincts and intuition ultimately helped me a lot..
Because I too am a barbarian.
「Reflexes slightly improve with repeated training.」
「Flexibility improves slightly with repeated training.」
「Moving body vision improves through repeated training…….」
「Physical stats improve by +1.」
Now I'm starting to get a feel for how to use this body..
“Yandel's son Bjorn won.!!”
“He is the strongest warrior of all time!!”
Even without the help of new equipment, there were cases where I could win a duel with Einar..
He definitely has good skills, but he has the disadvantage of having a consistent pattern..
I gave him advice, but it seems like it has already become a habit and I can't change it easily..
“I'm tired! i am going to sleep!”
“Me too!”
“A wise warrior knows when to rest!”
At 9 p.m., all sparring, reminiscent of a real fight, ends..
Then, I go back to my dorm with my body covered in sweat and dirt..
By the time I wash up, Erwen comes again..
“mister! Wash it quickly! The food will all get cold!”
“i get it.”
Not every day, but five times a week, we meet for dinner and talk once more in the evening..
Most of the content is trivial, everyday stories about what Erwen did and how he felt today..
“Isn’t it annoying to walk for an hour every time??”
“Not even one? The food here is cheap and delicious.!”
Cheap and delicious.
I don’t know why I’m doing this here, leaving my sister who makes good money alone..
“I really enjoyed the meal!”
By the time I finish eating, it will be around 11 o'clock..
At this time, Erwen also obediently returns to his lodgings...
“Well then, good night. Oh, and I can't come tomorrow either..”
“Even if I had come, I wouldn’t have met him. Because we'll be busy tomorrow.
This was my daily routine on repeat..
After checking the time, I quickly went up to my room and fell straight onto the bed..
A month has already passed.
and…….
[23 : 41]
There are about 24 hours left until the labyrinth opens..
