Surviving the Game as a Barbarian - Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 4

4 episode tutorial (3)

As far as [Dungeon and Stone] is concerned, I am an expert.

What kind of monsters come from where, what habits they have, and what their weaknesses are, you can recite them one after another without even thinking about them.

Based on this, I made my final decision.

If the body of a barbarian and my knowledge were combined, it would be enough to survive in the labyrinth.

At least, at the time, I truly believed so.

“under… … .”

As soon as I entered the labyrinth, my eyes went dark.

Not a metaphor for the future, literally, nothing is seen. I probably wouldn’t even notice if someone puts an eye patch on my eyes right now.

Yes, there wouldn’t be much of a difference.

“Fuck.”

I feel like I’ve been hit hard in the back of the head.

All the savages were carrying only one weapon, so I didn’t even suspect this part.

There should be no need for torches on the first floor.

This is because the crystals on the wall act as a light source.

Of course, there is also a dark zone on the first floor, but except for the outermost part that leads to the second floor—

‘Oh, I guess I fell there now?’

I quickly hypothesized.

When entering the labyrinth, the starting position is random.

Of course, the horses are random and are not thrown around here. Even if you start at the outskirts, there is always a shining crystal nearby.

However, this is not the world in the game that you only see through the monitor.

What if all of those things were a kind of convenience the creators gave the player?

In reality, what if there is a case of a dog caught in the dark zone as a starting point?

If so, can you explain my situation now?

No, it must be.

If the entire first floor was like this, I wouldn’t have the confidence to survive a day.

“after… … .”

Still, it calmed down a bit after I cleaned it up.

Fortunately, my eyes had adapted to the darkness, so it was much better than before. Yes, but only the outline is visible.

Well, this is not a situation that is desperate enough to bite your tongue and die.

Let’s go ahead and check it out first.

Aren’t you alone now?

“Status window, equipment window, character information, status, inventory. Check your journal… is a natural.”

It’s also not possible

Well, I wasn’t expecting it anyway.

“let’s go.”

With the shield in one hand and the wall in the other, I move forward.

The speed is about a little faster than crawling.

Well, isn’t it?

Maybe crawling is faster, but you can’t speed it up any further.

It’s dangerous… … .

“aah!”

Suddenly, a sharp pain erupted in my ankle.

The pain I’ve felt for the first time in my life makes my nerves go crazy. But in the meantime, I figured out the situation.

What’s wrong with that?

Even without a battle log, the answer came quickly.

“The character stepped on a goblin trap.”

Fuck, I’m in a trap now.

***

what is patching

It comes out of nowhere without thinking.

The shield gave me psychological stability.

But instead, it obscured much of the view.

If I had put my shield on my belt and focused on looking, I might have found a trap.

I can’t see it anyway, so what’s the use of a shield?

I had to take care of practicality rather than mental stability.

Shit.

“Turn it off… flaw… … .”

hair turns white

I want to scream right now.

But desperately persevere.

I don’t know if things get better by screaming.

Because you know for sure that it will make it worse.

thump thump thump.

My heart is beating like crazy.

“Woo-wook, hoo-wook, hoo-wook… … .”

He pressed his lips together and forced himself to breathe.

What I need to remember now is not how sick and hard I am right now.

There is only one monster on the first floor that uses traps.

only goblins

And he will definitely be nearby.

“… … .”

He reflexively raises his shield and covers his head.

Then stop breathing and focus on your hearing.

There is no sound right now. It is still as if time has stopped.

… do you have none?

I do not know.

Novel from https://noblemtl.net

Maybe it is. There may be cases where you just left the place, or something like that. Even goblins will poop.

‘Girl, seriously, on a subject that I don’t even think about.’

I folded the creepy hope and threw it out of my head.

There were two reasons.

However, there is a difference between being positive and being optimistic.

Two, what I need right now is a negative mindset.

“… … .”

If you’re not sure, just assume the worst.

The goblin heard my scream.

He hides in the dark, waiting quietly for me to lose strength.

That’s why I didn’t hear any sound.

Because it was in the game.

If there is a trap, there must be a goblin around it.

“Whew… … .”

Slowly exhale the breath that has stopped.

Anyway, it’s a quiet environment, so if you don’t relax, you’ll notice an approach.

First, let’s do what I have to do.

“… Whoops!”

After lowering the position, open the trap with both hands and pull your feet out. Then, after tearing off the hem of the trousers, take off your shoes and apply strong pressure to the wounded area.

I decided to throw away the dirty shoes.

In fact, it was vague to even call it a shoe.

Because what I was wearing were sandals that were close to the shorts.

Damn barbarian bastards.

Even if it had been sent with only leather boots on, it would not have been possible to become half-assed by a single trap like this… … .

‘Fuck, what the hell am I thinking?’

I find myself being unreasonable and my mind is cold.

Let’s not be sad anymore.

No matter how much you curse them, the situation you face will not change.

In the end, it was my fault for not checking the floor properly.

So stop whining and check your body first.

‘Huh, something really bad happened.’

I can’t feel any sensation in my right foot anymore.

You can feel the heat, but even that is getting dull.

“Everyone is hiding, so come out.”

I whispered quietly.

Still, beyond the darkness, there was no sign of popularity.

So I slowly moved forward.

Tub. Tub.

One leg was sore, but the pain was not as great as I thought. It’s probably because of paralysis poison… … .

I don’t know if I should call this a good thing.

“Come out, you bastard.”

I didn’t hesitate to provoke them, and I kept moving forward.

‘Cause time isn’t on my side

If you have to fight, the sooner you get to it, the better.

Injuries are injuries, but the possibility that he is waiting for his comrades cannot be ignored.

“Aren’t you coming?”

Of course, these are all just my delusions, and there may be no such thing as goblins in fact.

Then I’ll be a fool who steps on a trap by myself and does all kinds of live shows.

But how about that?

Still, I want to be the surviving villain.

“Then why did you just stay there? I will go.”

speed up

It’s a bit faster than crawling, but it feels like running a marathon at a sprint.

One step, one step.

As I was walking, my right foot started to throb.

“Write, ha ha, ha… … .”

either one

Either the effect of the paralyzing poison has expired, or the pain has become severe enough that it is not enough.

Come to think of it, neither one is bad.

If the effect is over, that’s fine.

The feeling of pain is not possible because nerve cells are alive.

‘No, but why am I only positive in this way?’

Well, I don’t want to think about it.

I don’t have the brain for that.

“… Your mother goblin.”

Words come out of the brain without filtering.

Is it because I shed a lot of blood?

I feel like my brain has been pickled by alcohol.

“Your father is also a goblin.”

Of course, I spit as soon as it came out, but my feet did not stop.

“So you are a goblin.”

Then it sounded for the first time.

It was obviously a small sound, but it was very loud to my ears, which had been concentrating on it.

wear-

Finally, he showed his presence for the first time.

“Why can’t you even stand your parents’ cursing?”

Of course, I know that’s not the case.

It wasn’t even an insult in the first place… … .

The sound came from behind.

It would be more accurate to say that I was forced to move my body as I got farther and farther away.

I accelerated further.

The sound of his footsteps also accelerated.

Good-Good-Good-Good-

The sound of his footsteps, which became clearer, was unusual.

Every time I walked, something sticky stuck to the smooth surface and made a sound as it fell.

Even though I knew the setting was less than 1m tall, I felt the pressure as if a huge monster was chasing me.

To shake off my fear, I kept talking to him.

I am a barbarian

If you can only induce close combat, you will never get tired of goblins.

“Don’t just follow me, Drew. Fuck you.”

For that reason, he continued to provoke, but he just kept following him while maintaining a certain distance.

He didn’t even seem to want to hide himself anymore.

“Greak, ugh… … !”

It sounds like a howling, but it feels somehow.

“Groo! ugh!”

He’s giggling now. He is truly delighted to see his prey bleeding and dying. I’m hoping to hear that and be terrified.

… smart kid.

OK, it’s a plan change.

I stopped walking. Then he stumbled and fell to the floor.

puck!

His forehead, which had hit the rock, felt like it was going to break, but there was no sound.

From now on, it’s a battle of patience.

If you think I’m down and approach you first, you win.

If I really fall down before then, it’s my defeat.

“Huh?”

I decided to believe in the toughness of this body that had walked a distance of about 300m with my feet cramped.

wear-

The sound of his footsteps is getting closer and closer.

It’s slow enough to make you yawn.

Despite the fact that the prey has fallen as expected, it is suspicious.

‘Crazy, why are goblins so careful?’

swearing comes out of nowhere

Goblins were the weakest mobs in the game. Poison was used and traps were installed, but except for this, the combat power was poor.

But what about the goblins you actually encountered?

wear-

It wasn’t something to look down on at all. I realized why the village NPCs talked about the goblin’s cleverness so much.

Emotionally, they are several times more intelligent than savage cubs.

wear-

It stops at the edge between 5m and 10m.

Why?

The car was curious as to why.

A dull shock is transmitted from the shoulder.

tuk. Degurre.

what. Did this chewy throw a stone at me now?

‘… Why don’t you throw it until it turns to blood?’

“Grump! ugh!”

Contrary to fear, the gnome spit out a howling of joy.

When there was no reaction to the stoning, he thought I was dead.

Good-Good-Good-Good-

The guy came over to me quickly.

I could feel how excited I was in the jump.

I calmed my excitement and counted the distance through the sound. And when you decide that you’ve come to the nearest point.

“Damn you!”

He got up and stretched out his hand towards him.

It is judged that picking up the shield and reaching out when it is time to slap is faster and has a longer effective range.

However, I soon had a gut feeling that the plan had gone awry.

Again, there were two reasons.

First of all, it was about a step away from him.

And his movements were much more agile than expected.

“Gee!”

The guy rolls his back and steps back.

I couldn’t see it, but it felt like that.

I instinctively realized that I had missed it.

Damn, what now? I shook my head and prepared my next plan.

But at that moment, his body moved freely.

“… … ?”

It was truly a strange feeling.

It was still dark before my eyes.

But I intuitively knew where the goblin was running.

When I realized that, my hand was already on track and moving towards him.

“Huh?!”

I felt it being held in my fingertips.

It didn’t matter if it was the wrist or the ankle, or the neck or the wrist.

“Ahhh!”

I screamed and slammed him to the floor. Kwajik! There was the sound of something breaking. But I couldn’t be relieved, so I immediately climbed on top of the guy’s upper body.

“Hey, ugh!”

Now things have changed.

“I am above, you are below. This is a chew! ”

He slapped him in the face like a madman.

There were times when he was so excited that he hit the floor, but this barbarian’s body was much stronger than he thought.

Instead of hurting his fist, the stone floor was broken.

“… … .”

Soon, his movements ceased.

and… … .

aa-!

dust scatters

It is unusually shiny dust.

I stopped fisting.

At some point, the body of the goblin that was sitting on the floor was split into small pieces and scattered.

I’m not really funny

“Ha-Fuck, is this still the same?”

Please, I wish I could choose one.

Is it a game, or is it just a similar reality?

I keep getting confused about which beat to go with.

「You have defeated the goblins. EXP +1”

Soon after, the goblin’s body disappeared without a trace.

Feeling frustrated for an unknown reason, he picked up a small stone that had fallen on the spot.

「You have acquired a Grade 9 Mana Stone.」

It wasn’t strong, but it shone faintly.

It was a magic stone that became currency in [Dungeon and Stone].

how much was this A memory soon came to mind.

“A piece of bread.”

Average value of mana stones spit out by goblins in the game.

Some laughter leaked out.

“Heh heh heh… … .”

Is this the only thing you get from that fucking bastard?

A complicated head becomes more refreshing.

It’s almost like crying a lot and then laughing strangely.

“Uh-huh, uh-huh.”

There are labyrinths, and there are monsters.

A dead monster disappears leaving a drop item.

And in the city out there, the existing races live together.

Obviously, this is such a world.

However… … .

There will be no confusion again.
