Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 78



Episode 78: Request (2)

“Can you possibly know what will happen in the near future?”

“Well I can’t see that either. However be wary of those who have a lot of resentment at any time and place. “Because your fate brings with it the luck of attracting such people.”

“easy.”

“If you can resolve their resentment it will be a blessing and if you cannot it will be a misfortune.”

No doesn’t he know what the word “easy” means?

“I’m hungry so let’s go out now.”

“I will.”

After the shaman’s order to congratulate the guests I came out of the tent.

And with his energy exhausted he trudged towards the direction of the city.

As I was walking I slowly felt energized.

‘Is it thanks to the spirit imprint?’

In the first stage of immortal imprinting natural regenerative power increases and in the second stage endurance and anti-magic power increase.

Anti-magic power is literally resistance related to magic damage and endurance affects the maximum stamina value and regeneration speed.

In other words unlike physical stats such as strength or agility it is not a notable ability.

but….

‘Not bad.’

If these boost stats are not supported the character will not be able to function properly later.

In addition in order to unlock the 6th level imprint which is the core of my training method I need to slowly raise it from now on.

‘From level 3 engraving it is quite useful in itself.’

Originally we were planning to break through to stage 3 right away but that will be passed until tomorrow.

Well since we still have time today—

“Bjorn!”

As I was rechecking my plan for the day I heard a familiar voice from somewhere.

A shout that seems to be a whisper somewhere.

For a moment I wondered if I had heard wrong…

“Bjorn!”

As soon as I checked the direction from which the sound was coming a human face popped out from the shaking bushes.

“…Einar?”

“Be quiet! “If you get caught you’ll be in big trouble!”

In response to Einar’s urgent request I unconsciously squatted down in front of the bush and lowered my voice.

“…Why are you here?”

“I heard from the elder that you came to the sacred place and came to visit for a while. “If you want to get to the city don’t you have to pass by this street?”

Well I see.

But do you know when I will come?

“Still I’m glad I came early. “My legs were already numb!”

I was thinking of just waiting for it to come.

As expected it’s like Einar.

“Anyway someone might be passing by so come in here quickly.”

It was a nice face and I was curious about what he was up to so I went over the thick bushes and crouched down among them.

Only then did I see Einar’s body clearly.

I asked genuinely concerned.

“…Why are you so thin?”

Due to Bone Knight’s essence his height has decreased to the mid-170s.

Still I didn’t feel small because I had muscles but what about now?

Einar smiled bitterly.

“Hehehe it’s embarrassing so don’t look at it too much. “I know better than to be ugly.”

In just one month the warrior’s lumpy body transformed into a slim lean muscular body.

“Could it be that the elder doesn’t feed you properly?”

“It’s not like that I compressed my muscles every day and before I knew it it became like this.”

“compression?”

“There is such a thing. “I don’t know so don’t ask me in detail.”

“I see….”

Anyway what kind of training is it that makes that healthy kid like this?

I couldn’t help but feel devastated and kept my mouth shut.

Then Einar smiled and changed the subject.

“I heard about you from the elder. I got the nickname Little Vulcan right? “As expected it’s amazing Bjorn!”

“It’s no big deal.”

“What happened there? “I’m curious about your story.”

Einar looks at me with bright eyes.

As I continued to practice every day I was probably curious about what was going on outside.

For some reason I felt sorry for him so I sat down and told him the story in earnest.

“Oh you’re on the same team as Hikurod? thank god. “I was anxious when I left but I can trust him.”

Join our discord and ping me to update more chapters. Discord: https://discord.gg/93rmBjgP6B

Teaming up with Hikurod.

And various incidents that occurred in the labyrinth.

However the story was almost coming to an end.

“Pnelin’s second daughter Einar!!!!!!”

A roaring cry comes from afar.

“You ran away again!!!!”

“It’s a big deal. “I think the elder noticed that I ran away.”

Einar quickly got up from his seat at the sound of a roar that was deafening even from afar.

I asked worriedly.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s okay. Today’s training will only double. “It’s okay as long as you don’t sleep so don’t worry too much.”

No I’m more worried…

“I already thought I was going to die of boredom but thanks to you I heard interesting stories and it was nice. So please come again next time.”

“i get it.”

“Then I’ll go!”

Soon Einar turned his back and started running in the direction where the sound came from.

Therefore I was slowly trying to continue my path.

“Oh right! Bjorn!”

Suddenly Einar turns around and calls me.

And she said something unexpected.

“I couldn’t speak earlier but I’m glad you looked good!”

“You look good?”

“Should I say it was more venomous in the past? Well it wasn’t bad for me but…! Still I feel a little more relaxed now! “Maybe it’s because my new colleagues are trustworthy!”

Um is that so?

I’m not sure…

“Ainar!!! “Why don’t you come out quickly!!”

“Ugh anyway see you later!! “I will continue to train hard and return as a more reliable warrior!”

Soon Einar’s figure disappeared from sight.

However I looked at that place and thought for a moment.

‘The poison has disappeared….’

Is this really a positive change or a negative change?

I didn’t know yet.

***

Since the spirit imprinting ended early and there was quite a bit of time left I visited the Magic Tower.

This is to fill this week’s research quota.

“uh? Mr. Yandel why today? “Weren’t you supposed to come tomorrow?”

“I came today because I have work to do tomorrow.”

“If you have a prior contract shouldn’t you make something to do?”

…It’s definitely a correct opinion.

But I am a great barbarian.

It is not restricted by worldly etiquette and customs.

“What does pre-appointment mean?”

“Ugh it only happens when it’s like this… Okay just sit down and wait. “I’ll just finish what I’m doing and get started.”

“Sure.”

After waiting for a while today’s experiment was ready.

For your reference today’s experiment is to check how a vampire’s anti-magic power affects mental magic and measure the exact amount of reduced solar resistance…

“I’ve explained it so just figure it out.”

“Then shall we begin?”

Jijijijijijiji-!!

As I was immersed in the cruel experiment tools the experiment ended sooner than expected.

However the car is about to leave without even looking back.

“Hey Mr. Yandel!”

Raven urgently called me.

I wanted to say something about research but…

“So when are you going to tell me about that?”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s the holy object used to kill a vampire! How did you know? Are the [Tear of the Goddess] there?”

Oh again?

This is a conversation that takes place every time I visit this place.

“I repeat you don’t even know what that is.”

“This is happening again right?”

Raven crosses her arms and glares at me.

But does he even know? Even if you do that with that small stature it will just make you look arrogant.

I asked bluntly.

“What are you so obsessed with Arua Raven [Tear of the Goddess]?”

At first I thought he might have suspected me of being an evil spirit.

But looking at his actions afterwards it seems that wasn’t the case.

Just look at the question about pills and letters.

If they suspected me of being an evil spirit it would definitely have surfaced in some form during the conversation.

“…It’s not because of that holy relic.”

She finally gave an answer.

If they aren’t doing this because they suspect it’s an evil spirit why on earth are they doing this?

The answer was something I had never even thought of.

“It’s because of the book that contains information about that holy relic.”

“book?”

“A complete list of cracks. “You’re not going to say you don’t know are you?”

No even if you look at me like that I really don’t know….

“I understand that you want to keep the existence of that book a secret. Because I was like that too. Basically knowledge becomes more valuable the fewer people who know about it right?”

“…So what do you want to say?”

“If you have the book or know the material I would like to buy it. “I don’t store mine properly so there are a lot of things I can’t read.”

Looking at those studious eyes it doesn’t seem like he’s trying to ridicule me with some made-up words…

Was it really because of the book?

“If that was the goal shouldn’t you have asked that from the beginning without going round and round?”

“But in a negotiation the one who seems desperate loses right?”

Well that’s right.

As I was nodding my head without realizing it she confessed her true intentions.

“I was planning to try to negotiate as if it was no big deal if I acknowledged that I had found the sacred object. Even Mr. Yandel knew its value but it was of no use…”

“That’s why you chose the straight attack method.”

“yes. So Mr. Yandel can you please stop being honest now?”

I thought for a moment.

I was completely certain that the item I used at the time was a holy relic so insisting like I did before didn’t seem like a good idea.

It would be better to admit what needs to be admitted.

“I got that [Tear of the Goddess] or something by destroying the statue in front of the fountain.”

“also! “I knew that!”

“But that’s it.”

“…yes?”

I spoke quickly looking at her confusion.

“While you guys were searching the surrounding area I broke it out of boredom and it came out.”

“Then… you don’t know about books?”

She muttered with a blank expression on her face but quickly regained her senses and fired back.

“Wait a minute. There is a contradiction? “If that’s true how could you think of using something you don’t even know what it is in that situation?”

A rather sharp question.

However since it was already expected there was no problem with the answer.

“The box had a goddess symbol drawn on it so I thought it was an item from there. “It actually worked well.”

“…is it real?”

“On the honor of a warrior everything I just said is true.”

Soon Raven’s expression turned gloomy as she uttered a modern-day oath which was no different from a cheat.

“Then… what on earth did I do?”

After finding out that he was shadow boxing alone he seemed to feel a sense of self-destruction.

I feel sorry but I also have those thoughts.

Players’ community ‘Ghostbusters’.

I thought the greatest advantage of the place was the ‘exchange of information’ but…

‘Maybe it wasn’t for someone else.’

I’m someone’s player

Also to some it is an evil spirit.

Therefore…

“I’m hungry so I’ll just go!”

Like a barbarian he opens the door and leaves the room.

Misha also follows him as his benefactor.

She even treats me like a friend a dwarf.

Nardo a child who always encourages me and looks up to me saying she will become a great warrior.

It’s the same for everyone.

Bjorn son of Yandel.

I can’t be truthful with anyone in this body.

Well I don’t think Lee Han-soo’s body will be any different.

***

After leaving the Magic Tower I went straight to the commercial district and picked up the completed magic panties.

The next time is 5 PM.

It’s a bit of an awkward time to end the day like this.

Therefore I headed to the library with my tired body.

That would be at least a little more productive than going back and resting.

“Parsitiev.”

After receiving the magic from the librarian I headed straight to the bookshelf.

Even if I said hello there was no way he would accept me and I didn’t have the energy to do so today.

however….

“…You became famous.”

For some reason the librarian who was usually too lazy to talk to me started talking to me.

“It just so happened.”

I gave a cursory answer and left.

In the past I thought it would be beneficial to become friends with a wizard but…

‘Actually it’s funny to even dwell on something like that now.’

He became a level 6 explorer.

And he also got the nickname Little Vulcan.

Not only are the specs sufficient to join a team with a wizard but the current team also has a wizard.

Even though I am not from the Magic Tower…

‘Seeing as he’s a librarian the same goes for him.’

I thought to myself and laughed.

This was because he knew that no matter how much he gave a reason it was just a rationalization.

Trup-

A basis that exists only for justification.

In the end true intentions are separate.

I just didn’t want to do that.

I didn’t want to calculate my every move and try to gain favor from others.

At least for today I was a little tired.

thus-

Trup-

I stop walking toward the bookshelf.

And instead of avoiding problems that have been ignored we face them.

‘It would be natural to say that Einar’s poison has disappeared.’

I have a problem.

It’s a mental problem.

Perhaps my body has become more livable but the emotions I thought were dry are slowly revealing themselves.

For me survival is my top priority this is bad news.

So what is the solution?

‘I don’t know about that let’s just do what we have to do.’

Turn your back.

And then he approaches the librarian.

“Don’t just stare at me but if you have something to say say it quickly.”

“How did you know that you had something to say?”

“It was just that kind of look.”

There are some reasons but they are difficult to explain.

As I stared at him with such emotion the quick-witted librarian succinctly explained his business.

“I have a friend who works in the administrative office. “I recommended you because I was looking for an explorer to take on a mission.”

“You recommended me?”

“Strictly speaking I did not recommend it. Somehow the topic of you came up during a conversation and my friend who heard it asked to make a meeting with you. Of course if you are busy or don’t like it you can refuse—”

“good night. Let’s meet once and hear what they have to say.”

The librarian who was looking at my answer with an expression of surprise nodded slightly.

“Then I will tell my friend so.”

Request….

The time has come for such an event to take place.

‘Does it mean that the city now has a means of receiving money?’

As expected it was good to hear it.
