Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 90

90angry player (2)

A moment of silence passes..

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

Looking at that day, Ragna closed his eyes for a long time and opened them..

“You're calmer than I thought. I thought you wouldn't believe me if I told you.”

What can I say, I sighed and thought this could really be possible..

“Actually, it might be better to just ignore it. Dimensional collapse is a disaster that cannot be predicted in advance and cannot be prevented even if known..”

That's definitely true.

Even in games, dimensional collapse always occurs unexpectedly..

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

‘100It was at a level where I was wondering if it would explode or not..’

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

I don't know if it's in the mid to late stages where you can handle it to some extent..

In the beginning, just pressing the ESC key and starting over is a way to save time..

“So where does the information come from??”

I calmly checked only what I could confirm..

My intuition tells me that this is the cause of my anxiety, but you never know..

“He is a Tarutein school wizard named Seanl Pergang. I heard that you have been researching the phenomenon of dimensional collapse for a long time..”

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

“Right. I will find out from now on. Anyway, thanks for the warning..”

As soon as I turned my back and headed towards the door, I heard a voice behind me..

“today… Are you just leaving??”

Well, a new quest has appeared, so shouldn't we go do that first?.

***

A bar with loud noise as always.

A silver-haired fairy sitting in a corner tapped the table with her index finger..

It was her habit to come out whenever she was worried..

“ha…….”

The pretty and kind younger sister, Erwen..

The child has changed since three months ago..

Not only did he first ask for help with the training he hated so much, but he pushed himself to the limit as if even sleeping time was a waste..

And it got a little sharper.

The person with the blood connection was at least better, but…….

The way you speak, the way you look, and the way you act when dealing with others have changed significantly from before..

‘Still, I'm glad it's not a bad change.…….’

Excessive self-improvement and wariness toward others?

As an explorer whose destiny is to enter the labyrinth, this is a welcome skill..

In fact, thanks to this, we were able to achieve a lot of growth..

The younger brother, who succeeded in making contracts with all four great spirits, succeeded in enlightening three of them and building autonomous will..

Where is that??

Archery, martial arts, and close combat skills using daggers also improved day by day..

To be honest, I wonder how this kind of talent hasn't blossomed in the past..

However, the cause of her sighing was the opportunity for change..

‘How long can you hide it?…….’

The death of a barbarian who called him uncle and depended on him emotionally..

In fact, it's funny to say it's death.

Actually, the person involved will be alive and well..

With the reputation of being a small Balkan.

‘Should I say it now??’

My first emotion when I heard the news about him was surprise. Next was anxiety..

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

But what is this??

Erwen, who stayed in her room every day and concentrated on training, still did not know the news..

“Did you guys hear that? They say the jet black sword may become a sword master's disciple.!”

“Huh, where did you hear this strange noise and spread it around? Sword Duke, is it reasonable for such a noble man to accept an explorer as his disciple??”

Daria, who sat alone in a corner of the bar, found relief by eavesdropping on the chatter of explorers around her..

‘Surely the rumors have slowly died down now.…….’

Stories that were once heard everywhere in this city were buried by new stories that emerged..

Did you exorcise an evil spirit or kill a priest of Karui who escaped into the sewers?.

I was a little dizzy when the barbarian's story was circulated again in the tavern.…….

Even that has almost all subsided now..

‘Okay, let's leave it like this..”

Soon Daria made up her mind..

Actually, it wasn't even a problem to worry about..

As someone who has chosen to live as an explorer, when will I ever again have the opportunity to grow like this??

“Hey, fairy girl. Did you come alone?—”

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

Daria left the bar, pushing away the approaching drunk..

I visited this place in the evening in case the barbarian did something again and it would become a hot topic.…….

I wasn't going to come anymore.

smart.

When she returned to her dorm, she knocked on her sister's door..

no answer came back.

I put the keys in, wondering if he was sleeping on the floor..

Clap-

The door unlocks and squeaks open..

Soon, I see my younger brother through it..

My younger brother had summoned all the four great spirits and closed his eyes as if meditating..

however…….

“Hey, it's okay…….”

The lips are moving little by little, it seems like they are muttering something..

Daria held her breath and moved closer..

Then I heard what was muttered more clearly..

“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…….”

My younger brother repeats similar words as if brainwashing himself..

“Erwen……?”

Daria quickly woke up her brother..

Surprisingly, my younger brother's expression was just calm..

“Ah, my sister is here.?”

“you… It's okay?”

“What?”

“that… I was muttering something to myself—”

“yes? I was just talking to spirits.?”

Just looking at the cancer, it didn't seem like a conversation to be had with spirits.…….

Daria kept her mouth shut..

This is because a ban on guests was issued..

“I'm currently training, so you can come back later.?”

“okay…….”

Daria left the room helplessly..

Then he returned to his room and thought about what had happened a little while ago. That's because it was the kind of thing that couldn't be dismissed as 'enthusiasm' or 'venom'..

It was almost like an obsession..

10It wasn't like this a year ago, even during that incident.…….

‘what is the problem? That barbarian probably wasn't that important.—’

Daria stiffened in shock..

It was because I was reminded of the biggest change that had happened recently..

‘Oh, maybe it was because I ate that essence??’

Daria took out a book from the bookshelf..

I had previously purchased it from a guild at a fairly high price..

[Comprehensive Lesser Essence]

7A book containing information on all essences from level 9 to level 9..

First, I checked the essence I absorbed this time..

‘Where is Canivaro?……?’

This monster only appears in the Witch's Forest, but I was lucky enough to obtain its essence while rescuing an explorer who was running away from the forest after being chased by it..

‘Ah, I found it.’

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

[Canivaro] Grade 7.

Agility (middle), darkness resistance (middle), endurance (middle), accuracy (middle), sixth sense (middle), hearing (middle), obsession (middle)).

*Increased agility and sensation when moving.

*Magic Mine (Red))

*Hound (blue))

*Pursuit arrow (green)

As she carefully checked the contents, she froze at one point..

“Obsession... … It's a prize level?”

Suddenly feeling deja vu, she even checked the essence she had absorbed three months ago..

[[Steel Hill Chaser] Grade 8.

Strength (L), Physical Resistance (L), Leg Strength (L), Jumping Power (M), Earth Resistance (L), Cognitive Interference (L), Agility (M), Obsession (M))

*Penetration increases when a surprise attack is successful..

*Penetrating arrow (red)

*Terrain eruption (blue))

*Spot Weakness (Yellow)

‘What on earth is this?…….’

There was obsession this time too..

It also received a middle grade.

‘No way, that too……?’

While I was leaving, I even looked at the essence that my younger brother had absorbed for the first time..

Then, sure enough,.

[Goblin Archer] Grade 9.

Flexibility (low), sense of smell (low), poison resistance (low), perception (low), cognitive interference (low), accuracy (low), vision (low), agility (low), obsession (low))

*Paralyzing poison applied when using a live weapon.

*thief's walk

Even here, there was obsession..

Now Daria had a picture of the situation in her mind..

The excessive obsession with power was all due to this ability..

‘then what should i do?’

You can't erase the essence you've absorbed even by paying money..

But my heart is heavy to leave it like this..

‘If you consume a substitute for purified water... Let's erase it then.’

After much thought, she came to a conclusion..

However, after taking a quick shower and lying down on the bed, she was faced with a new question..

‘Uh, wait a minute.’

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 an unfounded rumor or fact, or is it just the illusion of the person who thinks it is true?.

Even though I was quite busy looking for it, I didn't get any significant results..

“sional pergang?”

Raven, who always helped me when I visited her with questions, didn't work this time..

“No, so even if you ask me to meet you, it's the first time I've heard your name. In the first place, the Tarutein School had no particular exchange with us..”

“…Right.”

“Anyway, when you come next week, leave a whole day aside. There was a winner through a lottery..”

“winner……?”

“Did you forget? In return for learning about paper, I agreed to help my seniors with their research.?”

No, I remember that..

I didn't know you'd draw that in a lottery.

‘Well, I'm getting more anxious for no reason.…….’

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

Anyway, after that, I tried various ways to meet a wizard named Seanl Pergang, but they all failed..

Meanwhile, rumors slowly began to circulate..

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

Misha said he was going to meet an old colleague for the first time in a while, but he came back quickly and started acting weird..

If he knows, I guess it's already spread..

Actually, when I went to a bar in the evening, everyone was talking about dimensional collapse..

But the problem is…….

‘I don't even know where it came from..’

Whose mouth did this come from?.

Also, what is the basis?.

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

‘This… It's a bit strange…….’

I felt an unknown sense of discomfort.

Normally, for something to become this widely known, there has to be at least a plausible basis, right??

Nowadays, many false rumors have been added as evidence by magistrates, but in the beginning, there wasn't even such a thing..

‘Could it be that someone is deliberately fueling the rumor??’

Having watched the situation closely from the beginning, I came to that conclusion..

Of course, it's just a guess…….

Even considering the cancer, the current situation was a bit strange..

‘Ha, I think there really is something to this..’

It's stuffy.

I want to know information that is being exchanged silently in a more secret place, rather than coming and going in a bar..

But the wall of reality was high.

How would a barbarian from scratch, who built his reputation solely on battle, come across such information??

‘If it weren't for Ragnar in the first place, I wouldn't have even known the name Seanl Pergang..’

Eventually I made a decision.

In his hand was a letter from the Ghostbusters and the enclosed pills..

For reasons of strict anonymity, I originally planned to wait at least 3 months before taking the pill.…….

‘You can advance it by about a month..’

Soon I put the pill down my throat and swallowed it..

「The character has taken GB-027.」

I wasn't immediately dragged into the spiritual world..

According to the information confirmed in the secret library opened by Raven and Ragna, the meeting is held at midnight on the 15th of every month..

‘I guess I just have to wait three days..’

Time passed quickly.

And the moment I've been waiting for has come.

A feeling as if the mind is moving away from the body.

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

When I opened my eyes, there was a computer in front of me..

***

A pure white space reminiscent of the universe.

It may have been difficult to even recognize which is up and which is down..

If it wasn't for that computer over there.

‘What is this again?.’

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

It was a feeling I had never felt before..

It feels like you are riding a robot and controlling it to walk..

I finally arrived in front of the computer after waddling and checked the monitor that was turned on..

[Please enter your password.]

I entered my password without much hesitation..
