Surviving the Game as a Barbarian - Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 125

125 Angry characters (4)

People are often said to be social animals.

I don’t know who said it first, but it’s a very appropriate analogy.

It may not be as primitive as the beast, but people also judge someone based on their first impressions.

In order to be respected, you need to not be underestimated.

Especially if it’s a transfer student position in the middle.

“you… … what now… … ?”

The fox mask asks like a mishearer.

The other masks, on the other hand, are just watching the situation with interest.

It’s kind of a report.

What actions I take here will determine my first impression.

therefore-

“You, say it one more time.”

Facing the fox mask that shoots with a vicious force, he imprinted it firmly so as not to be mistaken.

“You are the one who recommended me here—”

“What kind of bastards are you?!”

Crazy bastards, crazy bastards, bastards, etc.

No matter what you say, it’s better than giving a weak image.

However, this was not what I expected.

“Hey, you.”

The moment when a sullen blue eye shone through the cracks in the fox’s mask.

‘… … It’s a strange feeling.’

The skin is tingling at the vivid flesh that can be felt through the skin.

Not a description, really.

Feeling threatened with life, my heart thumps and goosebumps rise.

In a world where physical force itself does not exist, how is this possible?

Fortunately, there was information about this phenomenon.

‘This is the technique.’

It was the first time I had personally experienced it, but it must have been the technique that Lee Baek-ho taught me earlier.

It was said that it could only be used within Ghostbusters, a spiritual world that operates with a clear will and thought.

It’s not particularly useful, but it’s a catch-all technique for old people that’s perfect for intimidating newbies.

“Can you say the same thing one more time?”

Soon, the fox mask raises the density of living and asks me once again. It seems that a cold twisted smirk can be seen through the mask.

so that… … .

“I, I, I… … .”

stutter once again

eating.

laughter was heard.

It’s not a fox mask, it belongs to other guys.

A certain newbie who didn’t know it was high in the sky lowered its tail while flirting, so it must have looked pretty funny.

“Why not? Have you been running around like that before?”

Is the planting properly damaged?

As if he had no intention of looking after him, the fox mask’s life grew even darker.

Of course, there was no problem.

“Oh, no… … I, that, that, not… … .”

“Tell me. Again and again, without missing a single word.”

“What is it?”

I decided to stop acting like a villain at this point.

“It was your mother who recommended me here. But, is there any problem?”

“What… … what… … ?”

At the sudden change of my attitude, the fox mask looked very embarrassed.

“No, you are clearly in a state of doubt? How… … ?”

Instead of answering, I lifted my little finger and started licking my ear, which I had been tickling before.

Looking at it, the other guys seemed to have already noticed what was going on.

“This is definitely an interesting situation.”

“Rookie, are you kidding me? It’s a little too much.”

“Impressive, but such an attitude is bound to make enemies. Ryan.”

I was blown away by the reviews that each uttered.

The funny guy, the cheeky guy, the pathetic guy.

I heard it was just that. Their evaluation of my concept quality. Well, I did image making while directing at most.

‘Yes, there is nothing surprising about this.’

When you think about it, it’s quite natural.

Isn’t the name of the Goin Club?

It must be a far cry from receiving special treatment just because you have persevered in one room to live.

“How dare you mock me… … ?”

The fox mask, who later realized that I was acting as a villain, showed a strong reaction, but… … .

Yes, my first impression would be that of an annoyed guy.

So I closed my eyes and recalled the conversation I had with Lee Baek-ho.

[Do you want me to shoot for a living? oh no If I do it wrong, will you get mentally ill? Because this is using the will, the stronger the mental power, the stronger the power… … .]

The power of living 殺气 is proportional to the mental power.

By the way, mental power here means real mental power, not a number.

[That’s why I said it’s for dead people only. You kill a lot, go through the death penalty like you eat, and then your mental power will inevitably grow stronger. Well, there are people who are just born.]

Then what about me?

Well, you’ll find out once you try it.

I couldn’t actually use it because Baekho Lee didn’t have time, but it doesn’t seem like it would be very difficult.

[I’ll tell you how to write it. No, actually, there is no way… … .]

Baekho Lee said.

In order to breathe life, you first need to hypnotize yourself.

[Think of it as an enemy. An enemy that must be killed and destroyed.]

Coincidentally, self-hypnosis is one of my specialties.

“Hey, people say… … place… … .”

When I opened my eyes, the fox mask that my eyes met was hardened and snorted as if it was ridiculous.

“Hey, call it revenge now.”

It worked properly, but the power was not strong.

So, focus more on your intentions.

“It’s childish.”

These are goblins.

Babies trying to kill me.

Yes, an enemy that threatens my life.

“I just apologize. There was something I wanted to talk about first, so if I apologize properly, I won’t have any bad feelings about this.”

I hypnotize myself, imagining running out right away and popping my head with a mace.

Then it was a moment.

‘uh?’

I feel like something is slipping out of my head. A strange sensation that is clearly different from pain, the first time you experience it.

“No, pride is like an apology—”

The fox mask, who had been admonishing me, suddenly stopped talking.

And it hardens like a stone and doesn’t even move.

As if caught up in something invisible and unable to move.

“… … !”

The emotions formed in the round eyes were also familiar to me.

What my enemies only saw at the end.

Those eyes he made while looking at the mace that slammed his head down.

‘Oh, I didn’t know it would be so effective.’

Even though I was puzzled, I glanced around to confirm.

The three of them, who had doubts about the fox mask’s behavior, showed a clear reaction whenever they made eye contact with me.

Shrek.

The deer antler mask, which was standing on the pillar, moved its hand to the waist, which should have been a sword.

He was the one who thought I was cocky.

swish.

The crescent moon mask covered her eyes as if avoiding her gaze.

He was the one who looked at me with pity.

“… … Ooh, didn’t I say anything?”

The yellow clown mask swung back with an exaggerated attitude.

He was someone who only thought I was funny.

‘what?’

With such a violent reaction, it raises doubts rather than joy.

Why? Why does it work so well?

No time was given to calmly ponder.

Jit.

It feels like your brain is being squeezed like a wet towel.

I feel mental fatigue as if I’ve been awake for three days and three nights.

I instinctively realized

You only have a few seconds left before you can stay in barbarian live mode.

‘Fuck, I didn’t mean that.’

I stared hastily at the fox mask.

The fox mask was trembling.

“Stop, please. No more, I’m at risk… … .”

As soon as I looked at her without saying a word, she pleaded with pain.

At that time, the mode of living in a timely manner ended.

“Whew… … !”

A fox mask that takes long breaths like a person buried in water.

As soon as our eyes met, I saw her wince, and I was convinced.

‘I don’t know what it is, but thanks to it, it worked out well.’

The image I wanted to create as soon as I realized that it was an atmosphere that excludes newbies.

He succeeded in becoming a madman who should not be touched.

***

“… … You’re making such a fuss just because you’ve thought about it once. The future is going to be tough.”

The silence that covered the hall, starting with the simmering of deer antlers, was gone.

“Phi-hit, it was a pleasant experience nonetheless. How many more times do I have to kill before I can do this?”

That time when the clown glanced at me with strange eyes.

Tickle!

The four doors leading to the room closed at once.

To be honest, I was really surprised, but I’m glad I didn’t give it a shot.

It was just that the entrance time was over.

“The time has already come.”

“This time, the four of us… No, this is the end of five people.”

Everyone was seated, so I took a seat anywhere. However, before the meeting began in earnest, questions directed at me flew in.

Unlike before, it wasn’t a question of revealing one’s identity.

“Ryan, this will be your first meeting. I just wanted to see if I was a member of the early days, but… … The lion’s mask was on the wall all the time.”

At the end of the crescent moon, I nodded.

There is nothing more meaningless than denying that there is clear evidence.

It would seem that there is something to admit rather coolly.

“So what do you want to say?”

“… … Have you ever met the Master? Oh, if you don’t want to answer, just say no.”

Whether the madman image was valid, the crescent moon’s tone was polite and cautious.

Is this why people have to live like idiots?

A realization that I would have lived without knowing for the rest of my life if I had not become a barbarian.

“If you want something in return, I will give it to you. It may be difficult enough for you to be satisfied.”

“That’s it, why did you think I met the Master?”

I replied arrogantly.

Well, I don’t even know who the master is.

“that… … I think it’s a bit of a weird word. I’m a newcomer after a year since the Master disappeared, isn’t it natural to think that way?”

“So, Mr. Fox tried to sprint with his gun, but he failed, perhaps?”

As the clown muttered to himself, the fox mask turned its head in shame.

‘I think the Master is talking about the founder of this gathering.’

As I put the given information together and put it in my head, the crescent moon spoke again.

“Hmm, not only that, I thought it was because it seemed like the first time I knew this place well.”

Well, it’s thanks to Baekho Lee, not Master.

No, but what the hell is he?

I ended my thinking, thinking that Baek-ho Lee was also going to find out his identity.

“So, can I get an answer to your question? Just tell me when and where you last met the Master—”

“The answer is rejection.”

“Whoa, I guess. I see.”

The crescent moon neatly folded away his regrets and walked away.

If it had looked like a dick, it would have been bothering me and poking around.

“By the way, Master, it’s really good, so how about starting soon?”

Unlike the three, the clown was not very interested in the Master’s actions, so the clown organized the conversation and announced the start of the assembly.

It was good to know the rules in advance.

If I ask such a question here now, the mysterious image will definitely be broken.

“Then let me do it.”

The first turn was the clown who spoke first.

“The condition of King Lafdonia has deteriorated.”

A red light was lit from the jewel embedded in the center of the round table.

This is true, meaning that half of those at the round table know this.

“It’s getting worse, too comprehensive information.”

“It is not a story that everyone knows that the king is seriously ill. Please tell me something more useful.”

The fox and the crescent moon frown and smash the clown.

I just stood still.

‘I didn’t know… … .’

Is the king ill?

It’s a golden door. Because there were no such rumors circulating in the city. Well, it’s funny that the king’s health is being talked about on the streets.

“Wow, you don’t know how important this is. It’s pathetic.”

The clown flashed a crescent moon with the fox, then glanced at me.

Do you know what I mean?

A gaze that seems to have such a meaning.

“… … .”

I just stayed still this time.

Then the middle will go.

“The commander of the Rose Knights died yesterday. how about it. You will admit this too, right?”

As soon as the clown unlocked the information again, there was a heavy silence inside the round table.

“… There will be blood in the palace.”

“Yeah, we should be ready.”

No, who the fuck is the Commander of the Rose Knights?

Anyway, the green light was on in the jewel, so I went straight to the next one.

This time it was a fox mask.

“The Jagun Clan has succeeded in subjugating the first floor lord.”

“Hey, were you that friend?”

“Fisit, the purchase article disappeared from the exchange, where did you get the strategy? I thought I wouldn’t be able to catch it for the rest of my life.”

I was silent this time too.

Not because I don’t know anything, but because that’s what I’m talking about.

‘They were caught by the Jagun Clan.’

In the city, even if you just look at cancer, you can’t find anything except the summoning of the hierarchical lord.

‘… … Nice to see you in.’

This time, the green light was lit on the jewel, so it was the turn of the crescent moon next.

“Fufu, maybe no one knows about this.”

“Are you just talking?”

“When you activate Hidden Peace on the island of the quiet fairy, up to three ‘Ravganus’ will definitely appear.”

At the end of the new moon, the fox and the antlers were greatly surprised.

“Good news for those seeking the essence of Ravganus.”

“No, wait. So what is Hidden Peace?”

“You don’t have a conscience if you want it all at once, don’t you? Anyway, now it’s my turn… … yes?”

Naturally, the crescent moon, who was about to skip the turn, stiffened.

It was because of the red light coming out of the jewel.

Unlike before when anonymity was maintained, it was easy to infer someone who already knew the information.

Because the previous two people teased that they didn’t know.

“Mr Crescent Moon, don’t be too discouraged. What you said, usually you don’t know?

As the clown uttered words of consolation to me, the crescent moon sighed.

“Until now, I only had to know about Clown, but now I think there is one more person… … .”

I shrugged.

So who’s saying that you can tell just by playing hard?

“Can you tell me about that hidden piece?”

“that… … I still have to keep it a secret.”

“Oh, then I will have no choice but to be exiled for the last time—”

“Haha, what does that mean? I just meant that I was embarrassed because I felt like I had to expose the bottom.”

Soon the crescent moon sighed and pulled out new information.

“They say they found traces of ‘holy relics’ in the fairies.”

The jewel was green, but the fox narrowed her eyes and objected.

“Are there any traces? Isn’t it too informative?”

“Information about the ‘Holy Relic Stealers’ that no one had any clues to. That alone is a secret enough fact.”

“Hmm, good. I will admit it.”

“Mr Crescent Moon, are you from a fairy?”

As the fox who raised the objection retreated, the turn of the new moon ended.

And everyone’s eyes turned to me.

The antlers left it, but as I turned clockwise, my turn came naturally.

‘I’m kind of nervous.’

Is it because of those low expectations?

Even though I have decided on useful information during the turn, I feel more burdened for nothing.

If it’s all you know, you’d be embarrassed.

‘For now, I’ll just throw something certain.’

I wanted to maintain a mysterious image as much as possible, so I selected some information that is difficult for others to understand.

“If you catch a Vandemon with three people, the essence will definitely drop.”

As expected, the gems of the round table radiated green.

but… … .

“… … You said the three of you were going to catch a Vandemon?”

Why are you surprised by that?

If it’s cheat mode, isn’t it easy with three people?

‘Even he’s an easy guy to attack… … .’

I never knew
