Episode 8 Night Friend (1)
walking through the cave
This time, without fussing, he’s fine.
“The character is wearing leather boots.”
“The overall item level increases by +5.”
The size of the boots is a little left. Thanks, I learned one more thing. His feet were too big for his height. Anyway, it’s pretty strong, so stepping on the trap won’t hurt you as mortal as it used to be.
“The character is wearing a two-handed hammer.”
「The overall item level increases by +30.」
This hammer, made of whole iron, is about 1 m long. When he used it, it was a two-handed blunt, but when I used it, it was possible to wield it with one hand enough.
“The character is wearing shoulder guards.”
「The overall item level increases by +13.」
It is made of steel. I tied the laces a little loose and they fit just right. He took off his coat and put on only the guard, and he looked like a gladiator.
“The character is wearing a backpack.”
“Inventory will increase.”
Now, blood-stained manastones don’t have to be stored with bread, and it’s much less cumbersome to move around.
Thistle.
Take out the jerky and chew it.
There are a few for snacks, but they taste better than bread.
The remaining part was cut with a portable knife and stored well to avoid saliva.
On the second day, I graduated from primitive life.
When you are thirsty, drink the water from the water bottle.
If you want to know the direction, take out your compass, if you want to know the time, take out your pocket watch.
A bottle of emergency potion will keep you ready for any unexpected injuries.
Isn’t it a little ironic?
After killing people, I was able to live a little more like a human.

Smash was also a good technique to use as a shield, but holding the right weapon had a different power.
Puff-!
A goblin turns into a light and disappears with a single hammer.
If I had known this would happen, I would have just picked a weapon when I started. After all, it’s a shield, isn’t it because you saved up money to buy it later?
Well, I didn’t know at the time that I could fight so well.
Was it because he entered the body of a barbarian?
When I fight, I feel like my body doesn’t belong to me. It’s easy to get used to it, but when I see this body that always exceeds expectations, I still get exclamations.
“I must be sleepy.”
While yawning, he picks up the two magic stones that have fallen around him and puts them in his bag.
This is the change that occurred when the 2nd day started.
The goblins started coming out in groups two by two.
Perhaps tomorrow, it will increase to threenuts, and that state will continue until the seventh day when the labyrinth is closed. Because it was in the game.
In that sense, it’s not bad yet.
Combat power increased with new weapons, and thanks to various consumables, it became a little safer.
it’s pretty straightforward
‘Except for the fact that I keep closing my eyes.’
From yesterday until now, he continued to move and fight the goblins. But I only slept for less than 10 minutes, and even that I fell asleep standing up.
I want to sleep.
I don’t even want blankets and pillows. I want to squat down because even the bare floor is fine.
I really think it’s going to be like this—
“Ah, Shiba!”
I fell asleep and tripped over a stone.
I wasn’t lucky enough. Had it been a trap, I would have been greatly disappointed.
“Let’s sleep in a bar like this… … .”
As soon as I made my decision, I leaned against the wall with my shield and hammer in both hands.
Even though I don’t have any night friends by my side… … .
Rather, it feels safe. If you’re going to be ambushed anyway, goblins are better.
If possible, the one who gets stabbed by the carving knife is more likely to live.
Rather than being beaten with a hammer while lying on the bed.
wear-
Nimi.
I woke up to the sound of footsteps I was so used to now.
I heard that when I set the alarm, I didn’t even light my nose for more than 4 hours. He seems to be sleeping alone, so he shows up right away.
I can see why my uncle told me not to look away.
… stubborn cubs.
I immediately ran and shoved the hammer into the goblin’s head.
puck-!
“Hey, ugh!”
There were a total of two dogs that were sneakily approaching, but one of them immediately turned its back and ran away as soon as the friend was devastated.
yes go go
I don’t have the energy to follow.
“Hey, you bastards… … .”
When I checked the time, less than 10 minutes had passed.
In the end, I had no choice but to go back to the cave and hunt the goblins.
Then, if I felt tired and couldn’t stand it any longer, I leaned against the wall and fell asleep for a while.
There were a few dizzying situations while I was asleep, but only two times I felt like I was about to break.
Once, when I felt a presence and opened my eyes, a cub of explorers was quietly approaching me.
When our eyes met, he smiled as if he was indifferent, then took a step back and disappeared.
… Even thinking about it again, I get goosebumps.
In terms of dizzying alone, the second one is not easy.
Especially since it’s an ongoing process.
“The character was attacked by a goblin while sleeping.”
For the first time, I opened my eyes to pain rather than signs.
A goblin appeared in front of him. Once I hit it with a hammer and killed the guy in front of me, the other cub bounced around again this time.
“Oh, ugh!!”
I immediately identified the cause of the pain.
But, oh my God, there is a carving knife stuck between the clavicle bones.
… Shit, somehow my left arm didn’t move well.
After all, I’m glad it ended in pain.
Even if my height was a little shorter, or if the goblin had better jumping ability, the place where this carving knife was embedded would have been my neck.
hard.
He clenched his teeth and pulled out a carving knife.
Then, take the potion from the bag and place a few drops on the wounded area. As soon as I close the stopper and put it back in the bag, the blood boils and regenerates quickly.
Chewy profit.
The bastard who made the potion, is it a psychopath?
Somehow it hurts more than when I was stabbed.
“Ouch, heh heh heh… … .”
After about 5 minutes, the pain goes away.
A pain like this can wake me up abruptly, but my eyelids are much heavier than before.
Even if you release your concentration for a moment, the focus will be blurred.
It’s time to make the decision you’ve been putting off.
Although the body of a barbarian who is sensitive to murder, there is a limit to being choked like this. Didn’t you just wake up after being stabbed with a knife?
‘I need to take a break.’
I checked the time and it had been about 14 hours since I broke up with my uncle.
Perhaps the adventurers who are active on the first floor are also slowly wandering around looking for friends at night.
“Hey Barbarian, are you looking for a night mate?”
Since they were actually roaming the area, the explorers spoke to them first.
also very passionately.
“Hmm, you look pretty tired, don’t you? Will you come?”
“If it’s a barbarian, you can trust it. If it’s just you, there will be three people, how about being together?”
It’s like being a popular prostitute.
Is it because it’s the 2nd day when everyone looks the same?
Babies who sniff out the smell are nowhere to be seen. Or wasn’t the smell the problem from the start?
Hahaha, I was a bit harsh yesterday when I lost a pair of shoes with seven packs of blood and wandered around.
“okay? It’s unfortunate.”
Numerous love calls flooded in, but I refused all of them and kept passing through the aisle.
Ha, is there no strong barbarian anywhere?
In fact, the best thing for me is to meet my people and make friends at night. The problem is that, until the second day, the barbarians have not been able to find their noses either.
“Are you looking for your kin? Hmm, wouldn’t it be difficult?”
“Is it difficult? How?”
“Even a barbarian who has just finished his coming-of-age ceremony will go upstairs in two or three months. I don’t know, but there must be less than a hundred people on the first floor.”
As I explored it, it seems that barbarians themselves are rare on the first floor. Seriously, it’s strange to have a body like this, but it’s weird to be bullshit on the first floor.
99% of the explorers I met on the first floor were humans.
“Why don’t you join us instead?”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t.”
“Right. I hope that Rafdonia’s protection will accompany you on your journey.”
“Thank you.”
This man looked pretty trustworthy, but I moved on to the end of the conversation.
When I found out that the heart of a barbarian was expensive, there were no unsuspecting cubs among the explorers.
Click.
I took out the compass.
I’ve been moving south since I got this, but I haven’t even gotten out of the Goblin Zone.
You can feel how big the first floor is again.
‘… Should I give up looking for my own people?’
The worries didn’t last long.
I decided to stop looking for needles in the desert and make a realistic plan.
I don’t have to be of my own people, so I’m looking for a night mate.
But, except for humans.
Search for heterogeneous races with less than 1% of the population.
A fairy who values promises, or a dwarf with a personality as arrogant as a barbarian would be the best… … .
It doesn’t matter much if it’s a different race.
Unlike most humans, these races have a lot of spare time.
Given the time, he has the talent to climb all the way up, but he’s already blinded by pennies, so he won’t hurt the same explorer.
Having made that decision, I wandered around the cave for about an hour.
and… … .
“I encountered an unfamiliar fairy who was injured.”
I finally found the race I was looking for.
***
The moment our eyes met, a strangely suffocating stillness begins to flow.
“… … .”
The pointed-eared fairy is sitting with her back against the wall and just staring at me without saying a word.
Were you sleeping alone with no friends at night?
The amber eyes glowing like a cat show embarrassment and deep alertness.
Just looking at the cancer, I’m just hoping that I’ll pass by and disappear… … .
Whoops.
As the confrontation time gets longer, the fairy gets up from her seat with a nervous face.
But the posture is unnatural.
Upon examination, he saw a wound on his stomach.
“I’m hurt.”
It’s not deep, but it’s a long cut.
The carving knife that the goblin uses can never be done.
I quickly came to a conclusion.
“Are you human?”
The fairy didn’t answer.
I am afraid.
hey, I can understand Nara would be very scared if I came up with a bigger size after I was injured.
Isn’t he even female?
The body is also small. Are you going to be around 160?
Anyway, it’s not bad—
“Help me.”
huh?
“please. Just take a look, Uncle Barbarian, I have a younger brother in the city that I need to take care of.”
I was thinking what kind of development this was.
The fairy knelt down to her knees without any regrets.
At some point, moisture formed in his eyes.
“I beg you.”
What the hell, what kind of fairy doesn’t have that much energy?
To be honest, I thought she was the cool beauty type.
It was created, but most of the fairy’s tone and personality in the game were like that.
Whoo, if I had known it was such a character, I would have approached it completely differently.
Let’s clear up the misunderstanding before things get worse.
“I have no intention of killing you.”
Speak with the correct pronunciation while making eye contact.
The eyes are the windows to the heart, so if you give me time to calm down, they’ll know that what I’m saying is sincere—
“… Do you have to do this, Uncle Barbarian?”
—Silver horns.
The confusion of identity comes.
It’s like being a barbarian bullying high school girls in front of school. Obviously I’m a barbarian.
“Just one more time, please just one more time.”
As my silence grew longer, the fairy took a step back with her eyes deepened in fear and opened her front collar.
It wasn’t funny.
What kind of life do these barbarians lead? What’s his usual image like, why does he drop this shit?
“after… … .”
sigh comes out
What do we do?
Would the misunderstanding be cleared up if I showed that I’m not that kind of trash with actions rather than words?
… It doesn’t seem like a bad way.
“Start treatment first. Let’s talk later.”
I took a step back, took the herbs and bandages from my bag, and threw them away.
“This is a lychee leaf… … ?”
After all, this is a lycho leaf.
In the future, I can use it with peace of mind.
I was worried that it might be poisonous, so I couldn’t use it even though I was injured earlier.
