Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 123



Episode 123: Stagnant water (2)

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

“Is that so? Ah… as expected….”

What is it like?

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 ended up having a few shots.

‘Nimiral.’

Anyway this is how the midday drinking party came to an end not lasting even a few hours.

It was still midday when he left the bar leaving the stretched-out Dwalki in the care of his best friend the dwarf.

thus….

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

He canceled his plan to go home and rest and changed his 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. That kind of information may have been written in the books of this world.

You need to study consistently rather than just being satisfied with in-game knowledge.

‘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 she arrived at the library Ragna greeted me with sleepy eyes.

How many months have passed since she gave birth?

Still we have become closer than before.

Now it’s to the point where I’m even trying to be the first to do it.

“She just came back two days ago so even if she rested why didn’t she come yesterday?”

“I had something else to do.”

“I know you are busy as an explorer but that doesn’t mean you should neglect your studies.”

He also has a really strange side.

I told the barbarian not to neglect your studies.

“I get it. “Then please do me a favor.”

“…Bierdo 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 the situation has changed.

“I’m starting to get hungry so I guess I’ll have to go. Good luck.”

“excuse me….”

“huh?”

“Me too… not yet. “Never mind.”

It was already dark when I came out of the library.

But what is this again?

“Hello Mr. Yandel.”

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

A woman with a look that exudes a certain elegance dressed in black from head to toe as if she were at her own funeral.

So his name is…

“Are you… Urban?”

“…Julian. Julian Urban.”

“Yeah that was the name.”

“…I heard about 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 could also be an unconscious feeling of nervousness.

‘You don’t look like that but are you nervous?’

With that in mind I asked.

“So who is Peta?”

Lady Urban’s eyes trembled at my question.

It was as if she had heard something incredible.

“…You don’t even know the name of the Peta branch leader?”

“ah.”

That was the name of her mustachioed man.

But how do I know that?

I’ve never made a full 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 find you.”

“Apparently I declined that offer.”

“Couldn’t you consider that she was that desperate?”

She was desperate la….

It is certain that there is a story as the local head’s daughter even said this. It’s probably difficult to tell others.

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

But I’m a barbarian who doesn’t know anything.

“Okay go back. “I don’t want any troublesome work.”

She wiped away her curiosity and entered the room.

Just a car trying to close the door.

Kak!

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

Of course there was no way it could 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 wait a minute! Just talk! It won’t take long—”

“Stop and go back.”

“No really! Aren’t you curious? “Why am I doing this?”

“I’m not curious.”

“Hey!”

Did my stubborn attitude work?

Lady Urban 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.

‘Thank goodness I got over it—’

Again and 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 on the door I made a snoring sound.

Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

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

“Ha really why did I….”

The sound of lamentation was heard through the door.

But has he decided to change his strategy now?

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

Lady Urbans spoke quietly from behind the door as if whispering.

“Brown Rotmiller. 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.

That’s natural.

I tried to open the door but there was no point.

“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 that Lady Urbane gave.

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

“So what is your purpose?”

I decided to calm my curiosity and solve this problem.

Because I’m already more curious.

Why does my daughter even my father go to great lengths to tell me this?

Lady Urbans recited with a solemn expression.

“My goal is my father’s downfall.”

“…huh?”

“I can’t 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 benefit greatly—”

What is the benefit?

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

“Kyaaa!”

Although it was only a short time she could see how persistent this woman was so she just took it out and put her outside.

Then she closed the door walked in and locked it.

But is my consistent attitude slowly paying off?

“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 just washed up and went to bed.

‘It’s Rotmiller… I guess I’ll just have to keep an eye on it for now.’

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 exploration.

[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 think 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 guess it would be that it was quieter than usual.

Because of this my mind became more complicated.

I was secretly hoping that if something was discussed after meeting with the regional head they would say it at the meeting.

‘…Are you just asking 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 it was three days ago.

[With this I have paid off all my debt. Please return it quickly.]

[…Can’t I just give you 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.

It’s not for ADC use anyway.

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

Your blood fills up during the damage immunity period.

‘If I become a colleague later I’ll try to persuade him. ‘Please hand it over to me at a low price.’

After thinking about that I opened my eyes and checked the clock.

[23:59]

There are just 10 seconds left until midnight on the 15th.

I closed my eyes again.

“The character’s soul resonates and is drawn 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.’

You can definitely feel the 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 lay 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 has a time limit once a month.

You have to use it efficiently.

Click click.

First I went into the exchange.

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

‘I’ll check here later…’

I 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 gathered in occupation or race communities.

Well it would be easy to get useful information by going to a place like that.

Training methods or something like that.

‘But… 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 all have dedicated chat rooms but only the Barbarians do not.

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 that the nickname was crossed out in red.

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 things too.

1 Barbarian was not very popular as the 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 so 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.

The ethnic community is 0 people and the occupation is 3 people.

“….”

What on earth was I walking down?

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.

There is only one person 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 a field—

“It’s coming!”

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

A short-haired man estimated to be in his early 20s.

[Sergeant Lee]

After checking the nickname I froze.

“You can’t believe this sergeant…”

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

What kind of bullshit is happening!
