Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 64



Episode 64: Cabin (3)

I thought about this sometimes after being shipwrecked in the Witch’s Forest.

Wouldn’t there be a bunch of dwarves wandering the forest by now looking for us? So isn’t it really impossible for them to meet again by chance?

To conclude it was a pointless delusion.

‘No way.’

There is always a difference between imagination and reality.

Knowing that there were three people I smiled bitterly just in case.

After all things like miracles don’t suit me.

It might be a tragedy.

“…Bjorn.”

Misha climbed onto my back and whispered very softly in her ear.

“What are you going to do now?”

Well I’m thinking about it.

I also never imagined I would meet these bastards here.

‘The name was… Davis or something.’

First I was prepared to hit the mace and crush his head at any moment and then looked closely at the man who was sleeping soundly.

Davis.

A true religious person who wears necklaces bracelets top buttons and other symbols of Leatlasism.

To put it simply he is the leader of a group of explorers who attacked us in the past due to Elisha’s trick.

‘Why on earth is this bastard here?’

The more I look at this guy’s face the more my doubts deepen.

Why is he resting here?

There are only three of us because we bought Eli and sold it.

Why are they acting like beggars like us?

“….”

Putting my doubts aside I checked the interior through the window again.

Fortunately the other two were still sleeping comfortably.

And after finding out that they were a group of religious people I was able to guess their identity based on their body shape and hair color.

‘It must have been the bow jab and the sword jab back then.’

There are no particularly large shield warriors or red-haired archers in sight.

‘…Could it be that she fell out of the group too?’

I suddenly had that thought but I’m not sure.

What should I do lady?

I feel uneasy for some reason but it’s just a question. Will they all smash their heads while they’re sleeping?

After thinking about it for a while Misha whispered.

“If you do well Bjorn you might be able to hear news from Hikurod.”

Well that’s right.

It would be a good idea to have a conversation as well.

Before that we need to create an environment for conversation.

“First let’s knock them all out and then tie them up with rope.”

“That’s a good idea.”

After reaching an agreement I let Misha into her cabin.

If they wake up I can subdue them before they come to their senses.

“….”

Well I think I’m ready now.

After exchanging glances with Misha through the window I nodded.

And then raised the mace above her head.

Wow!

I relaxed half of my strength and hit the head.

As expected the religious person fell limp without even letting out a sigh of relief.

I let out a long breath as I wiped the blood and flesh splattered on my clothes.

‘Phew first I knocked one out.’

Now it’s time to stun the next guy.

As I quietly enter the cabin I see the two of them fainting from exhaustion and drenched in a dream.

So which of the two should we do first?

After thinking about it for a while I saw one of them tossing and turning.

“Ugh….”

Yes the second one would be good.

Then he hit the mace and tried to stun him.

“I said I’d knock you out!”

Misha hurriedly came up to her and grabbed her arm making her scream out loud.

I tilted my head.

And later Misha realized the meaning of what she said and nodded her head.

“Don’t worry.”

Even when playing fighting games low jumping was my specialty.

That’s how confident I am in controlling my strength.

Well if you die there’s nothing you can do.

It’s that kind of world right? Isn’t it?

Wow!

The moment I hit the mace.

The man who was resting in the rocking chair went limp.

And at the same time.

“Who who—”

This time the man on the bed probably heard a sound and raised his upper body.

Of course there was no problem.

Because my mace is equal whether I’m awake or asleep.

Wow!

Without even needing to sneak closer he dashed forward and plunged the half-relaxed mace into his face.

Since the purpose was to stun the name of the technique is…

‘I think a bash will do.’

The first round of suppression ended with a successful ‘bash’.

I said looking at Misha.

“What are you doing? “Hurry up and don’t tie me up with a rope.”

Misha answered while looking at the three people covered in blood.

“Do you need to tie me up…?”

Oh well….

Still isn’t there a saying that everything is strong?

There is nothing to lose by being thorough.

That’s my iron rule.

***

“Wow he’s really alive….”

Fortunately the three people who were hit with the mace once each succeeded in surviving.

“Don’t worry I told you—”

“But it looks like I’m going to die soon.”

“….”

However everyone’s breathing is irregular and gradually fading so it seems like their lives will change at any moment.

Among the dogs the one who got hit in the face was the worst.

But as long as you’re alive there’s no problem.

Isn’t this literally a fantasy world?

“As expected there is.”

I picked one of the backpacks I saw and took out a bottle of potion. He then sprinkled the potion on the heads of those who had fainted.

You don’t want to get too excited so just do it little by little.

Chii Iik-.

The reaction appeared over time.

“Ahh!!! Argh!”

“Huh!!”

The broken head slowly heals and the trio flop around on the lawn like live fish.

I brought out a rocking chair and sat down to wait for them to come to their senses.

“Ignorant barbarian….”

Misha saw me like that and criticized me but what could she do?

Anyway I was deceived by Elisa.

These are enemies who once tried to kill us.

And Bjorn’s barbarian heart rarely feels sympathy for his enemies.

“You guys…!”

“That barbarian back then!”

“It’s a misunderstanding! misunderstanding! “We are not enemies!”

As time passed the three people came to their senses.

But with all three talking at the same time it’s crazy.

“Just one.”

As he wiped the bloody mace with a cloth and chanted the room became quiet.

The three people who were intertwined like a fisherman looked at each other and reached an agreement with just their eyes.

“Look it’s all a misunderstanding. “There is a misunderstanding.”

The leader chosen as the representative was a religious leader.

“I’ll explain it well so please explain this—”

“Okay what’s the misunderstanding?”

In response to my question the religious person continued talking as if it was unfair.

“That bitch! We were just used by that bitch. “I didn’t even know that she was a subordinate of the cursed Karui…!”

Oh I guess you know that now?

As expected something happened.

“So how about solving this first and then talking slowly…”

“Stop talking about that.”

What is important now is not how unfair and difficult they were.

“Tell me about it from beginning to end. “What happened after we ran away?”

Confirmation of causality.

That’s the only reason I wrote ‘Bash’ and not ‘Smash’.

“Oh that’s…”

“Don’t even think about turning your head.”

“Oh I understand. “In the end it was our mistake to trust that bitch but I will tell you this without hiding anything.”

“Whether I hid it or not is up to me to decide.”

The religious person swallowed his saliva.

And he spouted out the whole story which I didn’t know.

“For some reason there were only three of us when we caught up with them after being tricked by that wicked villainess.”

That must have been true.

It just so happened that we had just fallen behind.

Crackling.

I’m really shaking.

How do you have such crappy timing?

“Say more…?”

“Of course. “Go ahead.”

“It would be difficult if I continued to run away so I first ambushed the man who appeared to be a searcher and wounded him.”

“You can’t believe you’re talking about Rotmiller!”

“I don’t know the name. But don’t worry. “If it’s that bad you’ll still be alive.”

Anyway if we put the story together later it was like this.

After being ambushed Rotmiller fell into a state of incapacity to fight.

A truly hopeless situation.

The dwarf must have judged.

They said that only by defeating the enemy explorers would they be able to escape safely.

“I don’t know what it was but just like that a light came out and pushed us back.”

“When I came to Anderson had had his head pierced by his ice spear.”

“Ah Anderson is the name of our explorer.”

“I wasn’t the kind of friend who would suffer something like that….”

“I think I was able to avoid it because I was caught off guard perhaps because I had the advantage in numbers.”

Anyway the moment the dwarf gained time.

De Walki dispatched his opponent’s seeker.

And without looking back he fled leading the wounded Lot Miller with him.

As soon as I heard this Misha slapped me on the back.

“As expected it was thanks to Hikurod! “Hikuro killed the explorer because he thought of us!”

Well I don’t know the dwarf’s true feelings.

But there’s no denying that we’re alive thanks to his actions.

Anyway back to the point.

“Because Anderson died instead of chasing him we had no choice but to wander through this forest.”

The group of religious followers who were excitedly chasing us ended up in a similar situation to us when the explorer died.

Of course it was still a little better than us.

There were five people and among the members there was a priest.

but….

“It was about two days after I started wandering.”

Day 2 of the shipwreck.

There was a time when I was on watch and replenishing my stamina.

Elisha showed his true colors and killed the other man.

“When she saw her friend who had been drained of vitality and was drying out she knew at a glance. “That bitch is a worshiper of the evil Karui!”

“Okay so why did she kill your friend?”

“That… I don’t know. “The moment we saw this horrific scene all the three of us could think was that we had to get out of this place and let the public know.”

Damn I jumped because I just wanted to live.

Even abandoning my colleagues.

Anyway I just skipped the story after that.

Aside from the fact that the number was three it was no different from what Misha and I experienced.

“So now that the misunderstanding has been resolved let’s clear this up—”

“I thought you told me to stop talking about that?”

I sighed as I was asked for release for the third time.

“Bjorn what are you going to do now?”

“Hehehe it looks like we are both in the same situation. How about cooperating with us instead?”

“You better keep your mouth shut.”

My worries deepen.

Of course I have no intention of accepting that guy’s offer and joining forces for the remaining two days.

but….

“Now that I think about it you haven’t apologized yet! I apologize! We were stupid and fell for her trick. “I’m sorry!”

There is room.

Can we really judge these guys as ‘assholes’?

Of course we suffered a lot because of these guys but in the end no one died.

First of all it looks like the dwarves all survived.

“Of course we will compensate you for the damage we have caused!”

Even material compensation is being offered.

But is it really necessary to kill them?

“Bjorn I will do whatever you ask.”

I’ve killed several people so far.

But at that time their lives were at stake and they were trash with no room for relief.

But what about the interest rates?

It’s ambiguous.

Yes as I said before there is room.

The mental brains of modern people who have not yet shed their stains are trying to postpone their choices.

“What are you worrying about! It was a mistake! “I can’t even imagine that a priest would lie—”

“Be quiet. “If you keep doing this I feel like I’ll accidentally break your head.”

“….”

Although I answered harshly so as not to belittle him I continued to worry on the inside.

Is it right to kill them?

Finally I asked myself.

Barbarian warrior Bjorn Yandel answered.

[Are right and wrong important? It’s easy to kill but why do we have to leave Woo-hwan behind?]

A truly foolish answer.

Lee Han-soo 29 years old and born in Seoul also lent his voice.

[You asshole what are you worried about? Of course it makes no sense to kill someone for making a mistake. however….]

For the first time in a while their opinions agreed.

[That’s a story about the world we lived in right?]

Killing someone for making one mistake.

It was also an absurd story.

If this was where I was born and raised.

Wow-

That’s why I grabbed the mace.

But even so I guess I didn’t make up my mind.

I asked without thinking.

“Misha what do you think?”

Misha who was born and raised here answered.

“I don’t trust these guys.”

“so?”

“Whether it was a mistake or something they were the ones who tried to kill us once. In times like that… I learned from my father when I was young that I should never forgive.”

Well I see.

That’s the natural world.

My mind becomes clear as if the fog has cleared.

When you go to Rome you must follow Roman laws.

The reason is very simple.

Otherwise you might fall apart.

Slurp.

That’s why I raised my mace upward.

“Didn’t you say it was a mistake?”

The religious man on the floor shouted.

“It was a mistake…”

I nodded.

Surely that may have been a mistake.

But for some reason I feel like you’re going to make mistakes again.

Kwasik-!

That’s why I struck down the mace.

I did it with all my might as if to erase my hesitation.

Kwasik-!

One after another.

Kwasik-!

With three strokes of the mace the surroundings became quiet.

「Achievement achieved」

Condition: 10 counts of murder.

Reward: Your sanity is permanently increased by +1.

I had no intention of justifying my actions.

If that were the case they would have set a trap found an opening and waited until they made a ‘mistake’.

The more ‘bastards’ the ones I kill the better it is for my mental health.

but….

‘Maybe it’s time to throw that away.’

The first day I opened my eyes in this body.

From then on I already knew.

‘Bjorn Jandel.’

From now on I will have to live with this name.

No you have to become this barbarian not just in name but in completeness.

That’s the only way to survive here.

Fighting-

Blood and flesh fall from the mace.

“Bjorn… are you okay? “My hands are shaking.”

If you are weak you die.

If you make a mistake you die.

This world is where you die even if you are unlucky.

“Don’t worry. “It’s nothing.”

Soon my hands stopped shaking.

I took off the religious’s equipment.

Then they dragged the body still in underwear into the cabin.

“Eh? “What are you trying to do!”

Misha asked in disgust and I answered.

“It’s about doing what needs to be done.”

Something you have to do even if you don’t want to do it.

Without hesitation I threw the body into the half-extinguished bonfire.

Grumble-!

In an instant the fire came to life.

At the same time there was a disgusting smell.

No actually I just thought it was a disgusting smell.

Because the good-natured barbarian’s body couldn’t sense the difference between that and the smell of meat.

Grumble-!

I exhaled as I saw the flames getting stronger.

As expected this also matches the game.

“A new sacrifice has been offered.”

“The maintenance time of the Witch’s Hut increases by 8 hours.”

Since we have two more firewood left we calculate that we can rest in the cabin for at least 24 hours.

“What are you doing? “Go quickly and don’t rest.”

Saying that I lay down on the bed.

Misha said something but it honestly didn’t reach her ears.

“…It’s comfortable.”

I closed my eyes and counted meaninglessly from 1.

My tired body slowly fell asleep as if it had finally found rest.

Ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-.

The sound of a burning bonfire gradually fades away from my consciousness.

‘After all you should sleep in bed.’

It wasn’t ironic anymore.

The more modern people take off their grime the more they get rid of it.

Here you can live more like a human being.
