Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 8

8Tue night friend (1)

walking in a cave.

This time, he didn't waddle and was fine..

「The character is wearing leather boots.」

「Overall item level increases by +5.」

There are a few boots sizes left. Thanks to you, I learned one more thing. His feet were big compared to his height. Anyway, it's pretty sturdy, so even if you step on a trap, you won't get fatally injured like in the past..

「Character is equipped with a two-handed hammer.」

「Overall item level increases by +30.」

This hammer, made of solid iron, is about 1m long. When he used it, it was a two-handed blunt weapon, but when I used it, I was able to swing it with just one hand..

「Character is wearing shoulder pads.」

「Overall item level increases by +13.」

It is made of steel. I tied the laces a little loosely and it fit perfectly. When I took off my top and put on only the protector, I looked like a gladiator..

「The character is wearing a backpack.」

「Inventory increases.」

Now you don't have to store blood-stained magic stones with bread, and it's much less cumbersome to move around..

squishy squishy.

Take out the beef jerky and chew it.

There are only a few because they are for snacks, but they are better than bread..

I cut the remaining part with a portable knife and stored it well to avoid getting any saliva on it..

2Day 1, I Graduated from Primitive Living.

When you feel thirsty, drink water from a canteen..

If you want to know the direction, take out a compass, and if you want to know the time, take out your pocket watch and look at it..

A bottle of emergency potion will help you deal with any unexpected injuries..

Isn’t it a little ironic??

When I killed a person, I was able to live a little more like a person..

***

Smash was a good technique when used as a shield, but its power was extraordinary when wielded with a proper weapon..

Powok-!

With one hammer blow, the goblin becomes light and disappears..

If I had known this would happen, I would have just chosen a weapon when I started. Anyway, wouldn't it be okay to save money and buy a shield later?.

Well, back then I didn't know I would be this good at fighting..

Is it because I entered the body of a barbarian??

When I fight, I feel like my body doesn't belong to me. I'm probably going to get used to it slowly, but when I see this body that always exceeds my expectations, exclamations of admiration still come out..

“I'm feeling sleepy..”

I yawn and pick up the two magic stones that have fallen nearby and put them in my bag..

2This is a change that occurred when work began..

Goblins began to come out in groups of two..

It will probably increase to three by tomorrow, and this will continue until the 7th day when the labyrinth closes. Because it was like that in the game too.

In that sense, so far not bad.

With the introduction of new weapons, combat power has increased, and thanks to various consumables, it has become safer..

It's pretty smooth.

‘Except my eyes keep closing..’

From yesterday until now, I have been constantly moving and fighting goblins. But I only slept for less than 10 minutes, and even then I dozed off while standing..

I want to sleep.

I don't even want blankets and pillows. I want to squat down because even the bare floor is fine..

I really think I'm going to fall apart if I keep doing this—

“Ah, sissy!”

I almost tripped on a stone while dozing off..

I was unusually lucky. If it had been a trap, I would have been in big trouble..

“Let's sleep for a little while…….”

As soon as I made my decision, I leaned against the wall, holding my shield and hammer in both hands..

Even though I don't have any night friends by my side…….

Rather, it feels safer that way. If you're going to get ambushed anyway, goblins are better..

Wouldn't it be more likely that the person who gets stabbed with a carving knife will survive?.

Rather than lying down to sleep and getting hit with a hammer.

Chak-

Nimmi.

I opened my eyes to hear the now very familiar footsteps..

When I was on watch, I couldn't even turn on my nose for over 4 hours. It seems like I'm sleeping alone, so it shows up right away..

I understand why the man told me not to pay attention..

…stubborn bastards.

I immediately rushed over and plunged the hammer into the top of the goblin's head..

puck-!

“Yeah, that's right!”

There were a total of two animals that sneakily approached, but one of them immediately turned its back and ran away as soon as its friend was turned into a mess..

Yeah, go go go.

I don't even have the energy to keep up.

“Ha, chews…….”

I checked the time and less than 10 minutes had passed..

In the end, I had no choice but to go back to the cave and hunt goblins..

Then, when I got tired and felt like I couldn't hold out any longer, I leaned against the wall like before and dozed off for a while..

There were a few times when I felt dizzy while dozing off, but there were only two times when I felt like I almost fell..

One time, I felt a presence and when I opened my eyes, I saw a young explorer quietly approaching me..

When he made eye contact with me, he smiled embarrassedly, then took a step back and quickly disappeared..

…Even thinking about it again gives me goosebumps..

In terms of dizzyingness alone, the second one is not that bad either..

Especially since it is currently ongoing..

「The character was attacked by a goblin while sleeping.」

For the first time, I woke up not to a presence but to pain..

I saw a goblin right in front of me. I killed the one in front of me by hitting it with a hammer, and the other one jumped out again..

“Yeah, that's right!!”

I immediately identified the cause of the pain.

But, oh my goodness, there is a carving knife stuck between the collarbones..

…Shit, for some reason my left arm doesn't move very well..

Huh, I'm glad it ended up being painful..

If I were a little shorter or the goblin had a little better jumping ability, my neck would have been where this carving knife was stuck..

Crackling.

I grit my teeth and pull out the carving knife..

Then, drop a few drops of the potion taken out of the bag onto the injured area. As soon as I close the cap and put it back in the bag, the blood starts bubbling and regenerates quickly..

Cheeeeeeeeeek.

The bastard who made the potion is a psychopath??

Somehow it hurts more than when I got stabbed..

“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…….”

The pain disappears after about 5 minutes..

Pain of this magnitude could easily wake me up, but my eyelids are even heavier than before..

Even if you lose concentration for just a moment, your focus becomes blurred..

It's time to make the decision you've been putting off..

Although it has the body of a barbarian sensitive to murderous intent, there are still limits to how it can sleep like this. Didn't he wake up only after being stabbed with a knife?.

‘need to rest.’

I checked the time and it's been about 14 hours since I broke up with you..

Perhaps the adventurers active on the first floor are also slowly wandering around looking for their night friends again..

“Hey barbarian, are you looking for a night partner??”

As I was actually wandering nearby, the explorers spoke to me first..

And very passionately too.

“Hmm, you look pretty tired? Will you come here??”

“A barbarian is trustworthy. If you come alone, there will be three of us. How about joining together??”

I feel like a popular prostitute.

Is it because it's day 2 that everyone is in a similar situation??

There are no cubs that are bothered by smell. Or wasn't the smell the problem from the beginning?.

Well, the way I was yesterday was a little worse, when I was covered in blood and lost one of my shoes and was waddling around..

“okay? It's a shame.”

I received numerous love calls, but I declined them all and kept passing through the aisle..

Ha, isn't there a strong barbarian somewhere??

In fact, the best case for me is to meet my fellow countrymen and have night friends. The problem is that, as we enter the second day, we haven't even been able to find any barbarians..

“Are you looking for your people? Hmm, it must be hard.?”

“It's hard? For some reason?”

“Even a barbarian who has just completed his coming-of-age ceremony will go upstairs in two or three months. I don't know, but there are probably less than a hundred people on the first floor..”

After investigating, it seems that barbarians themselves are rare on the first floor. Well, it's strange that you have a body like this, but you're loafing around on the first floor..

From the beginning, 99% of the explorers we met on the first floor were humans..

“So why not join us??”

“I'm sorry but I can't do that..”

“Right. I pray that Lapdonia's blessings be with you on your journey..”

“thanks.”

This guy seemed pretty trustworthy, but I moved on to the end of that conversation..

When I found out that the barbarian heart was expensive, there was no one among the explorers who didn't look suspicious..

Click.

I took out the compass.

I've been moving south ever since I got this, but I haven't even left the goblin zone yet..

I once again feel how big the first floor is..

‘…Should I give up on finding my people??’

The worries didn't last long.

I decided to stop looking for needles in the desert and make a realistic plan..

It doesn't have to be from the same race, so I'm looking for a friend for the night..

However, except for humans.

1% Looking for a different race with a small population ratio.

A fairy who values ​​promises or a dwarf with a personality as generous as a barbarian would be the best.…….

Even if they are of a different race, it doesn’t matter much..

Unlike most humans, these races have leisure..

If given time, he has the talent to rise upwards, but he is already too blinded by the money to harm fellow explorers..

After making that decision, I wandered around the cave for about an hour..

and…….

「Encountered an unfamiliar, injured fairy.」

I finally found the different race I was looking for..

***

The moment our eyes meet, a strangely breathtaking silence begins to fill the air..

“…….”

The pointy-eared fairy sits with her back against the wall and just looks at me in silence..

Was I dozing alone without a night friend??

Embarrassed emotions and deep wariness are felt in the cat-like amber eyes..

Just by looking at the cancer, it looks like they are hoping that I will just pass by and disappear.…….

Sigh.

As the standoff gets longer, the fairy stands up with a nervous look on her face..

But the posture is unnatural.

When I looked, I saw a wound on my abdomen..

“You're hurt.”

It's not deep, but it's a long tear..

It can never be made with a carving knife used by goblins..

I quickly came to a conclusion.

“Is it human??”

The fairy didn't answer..

I must be afraid..

Well, I can understand. I would be so scared if someone this big approached me while I was injured..

Isn’t she even female?.

The body is also small. I guess it's around 160?

Anyway, not a bad situation—

“Help me.”

huh?

“please. Please take a look Mr. Barbarian, I have a younger brother in the city to take care of..”

I was wondering what kind of development this was..

The fairy fell to her knees without any regrets..

Before I knew it, moisture had formed in my eyes..

“Please.”

What kind of fairy is this spiritless??

To be honest, I thought she was the cool pretty girl type..

That's what it looks like, but most of the fairies' speech patterns and personalities in the game are like that..

Huh, if I had known it was this kind of character, I would have approached it completely differently..

Let’s clear up the misunderstanding before the situation gets worse..

“I have no intention of killing you..”

Make eye contact and speak with correct pronunciation..

The eyes are the window to the soul, so if I give them time to calm down, they will know that what I am saying is sincere.—

“…Do you have to do this, Mr. Barbarian??”

—Silver is a mess.

Confusion of identity comes.

I feel like a barbarian bullying high school girls in front of school. Obviously I'm a barbarian.

“Just this one time, please just this one time.”

As my silence became longer, the fairy took a step back and closed her front feathers, her eyes growing even more fearful..

It was absurd..

What kind of life do barbarian bastards live? Because of his usual image, he says this shit?

“after…….”

I can't help but sigh.

What do we do?

If I showed through actions rather than words that I am not that kind of trash, would it clear up any misunderstandings??

…It doesn't seem like a bad method.

“Get treatment first. Let's talk later.”

I took a step back, took out the herbs and bandages from my bag and threw them away..

“This is a lycho leaf.……?”

As expected, this is a Licho leaf..

From now on, I can use it with peace of mind..

I couldn't use it even though I was injured earlier because I was worried that it might be a poisonous plant..
