Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Chapter 3



Episode 3 Tutorial (2)

Barbarian.

When I first played this race, which literally means ‘savage’, my choice was a greatsword.

because that’s cool

If you are a man, you have a desire to hold a sword in both hands and wield it while spinning like crazy in the middle of enemy lines.

‘The problem was that he died too well.’

Fascinated by the character of the barbarian, I started researching it. How can I raise a barbarian to take care of its survival?

Several attempts were made, but the barbarian still died too easily. No matter how much he took care of his survivability, he would only become a berserker.

Stability was poor because he had to walk a tightrope every battle.

Then, at some point, I felt skeptical.

‘Do I really need to use him as a dealer?’

Barbarians have the highest vitality among the selectable races and also have a high expected value of strength, so they can wear adamantium equipment.

Although not as good as a Dwarf with fraudulent special abilities, he has the basic skills as a tanker.

Well, apart from that, I didn’t really want to do a tank barbarian, but……. It

was a waste of research so far, so I decided to give it a try.

And after going through several trials and errors, he came up with a training method.

‘What is this swindler?’

Without regret, I abandoned the dwarves I originally used as tanks.

What if you don’t have an exciting battle?

I always valued efficiency, and I was a person who could throw away my taste as a gamer if it helped me in my strategy.

Like this decision you made now.

Turbuck.

When I return to my seat after choosing a weapon, I feel the eyes of the other savages looking at me.

What are you looking at, the first time you see Shield Baba?

Like a savage, I returned to my seat and stood proudly, not at all discouraged.

There was no need to act this time.

“next!”

I have no regrets about my decision.

There are three reasons.

Among the starting weapons, the shield is the most expensive when resold.

Even if the two of us grabbed the blade right away, there was a strong possibility that we wouldn’t be able to use it properly.

3 Ultimately, what I’m pursuing is the Shield Baba.

Today I made the most rational decision I could make.

“With this, you have become a warrior!”

After choosing a weapon, I returned to my seat, and now I was given some time.

While the other savages were going through their coming-of-age ceremonies, I decided to speculate on the cause of the current situation. Actually, it’s something I should have pointed out a long time ago, but…

What should I do?

If I thought about that, I was going to die.

“You have reached the abyss.”

Now let’s recap.

I reached the final boss room.

Most likely it was a trigger.

‘Wait a minute, then what about the dead guy? Did he come to the final boss room too?’

…Maybe it is.

There are many people in the world, and some of them are eccentric like me. Let’s skip this part for now.

「Tutorial complete.」

I accepted this message like this.

I’ve told you everything I need to know, so use this knowledge to survive.

Whoever it is, it can’t be a vicious bastard.

If you really wanted to survive, you should have put in a setting for ‘evil spirit’ or something.

You almost died as soon as you arrived. 개새끼야.

“Whoa……”

Is it because it entered the body of a barbarian? Unlike usual, I can’t control my emotions.

For that reason, I ended my thoughts at this point.

If I get excited for no reason, I might mess up my work, and it’s not like me to be stressed over the cause in the first place.

Things have already happened and cannot be undone.

It is productive to think about how to get through this time.

So…

yes, let’s just think about that for now.

‘To survive.’

***

Coming-of-age ceremony is over.

And now I’m walking on a forest path.

The tribal chief is in front, and young savages are behind.

Everyone seems to be having fun, as if going on a picnic.

But I can’t laugh heartily like them.

Because they know their final destination.

“stop!”

The place where we arrived after passing through the lush forest was in front of the 30m long fortress wall.

“Open the gate!”

The castle gate opens with a clunky mechanical sound.

Slow enough to make you yawn.

But the young savages watched as if they had forgotten to breathe. In the strange silence, the gray city finally appeared beyond the gates.

“Lapdonia…….”

Perhaps at this moment, I wouldn’t be much different from their eyes.

Well-maintained roads and stone structures.

A spire soaring high into the sky, visible between them.

I never dreamed that the day would come when I could actually see the scene that I only saw in the loading window illustration.

Shit.

“Warriors!”

When the door opened, the tribal chief turned around and shouted.

I wondered if he was trying to say something nice before sending me off, but…

“Leave! Your destiny lies there!”

Barbarians did not need boring speeches.

“Waaaaaaa!”

Barbarians who had just become adults ran into the city with a shout. Reluctantly, I followed suit, screaming.

There must be people sleeping soundly in those buildings with the lights off, but what does that matter?

I am a savage

coo-!

The sound of the gate closing was heard from behind.

Of course, none of the savages cared.

The wildly excited savages ran for a long time before finally calming down and slowing down, and only then did I calmly continue my thoughts.

Currently, conflicting emotions coexist with me.

“…….”

Fear of the situation.

And some kind of anticipation that I became a part of the world in the game I enjoyed the most.

It’s a little funny.

It was just before that I made up my mind to think only about surviving, but this kind of emotion blooms.

…I don’t think I’m normal either.

It’s nothing compared to these savage bastards.

“stop!”

The leader, the savage, who was running in the lead, stopped and looked back and proudly shouted.

“It seems I’ve lost my way!”

The savages were buzzing at the shocking confession.

“Karak, the third son of Panun, has led us astray!”

“He doesn’t deserve to be a leader!”

“You must take responsibility!”

Fuck. On the topic that people also liked to follow.

Is this a society of savages? cold

“Okay. Stop it. I’ll admit I’m not qualified and I’ll step down as the leader.”

Due to the continued protest, Panun’s second and third son, Karak, bowed his head and returned to the group.

The next leader was chosen as a female barbarian.

“Pnellin’s second daughter Einar!”

“A wise Einar can lead us on the right path!”

In response to many expectations, the female barbarian led the herd from the front with a happy face.

However, it didn’t take long for her to follow the same steps as the former leader.

“…I think I’ve lost my way.”

Surprisingly, even the words the two said matched without a single mistake.

“It can’t be! We have to go to the labyrinth within the set time!”

“Einar doesn’t deserve to be a leader!”

“right!”

Confused, the savages began to discuss seriously who to appoint as the third leader.

“I think Tetran’s second son Jin would be good.”

“No. I don’t think so. Rather…”

Do these bastards have no brains?

Didn’t they really realize that they couldn’t get there no matter who led the way?

Maybe this will come to my turn.

“…….”

Quietly slipped back and approached the 2nd leader.

Possessing a gigantic body of just under 2m, she stood slightly away from the crowd with a dejected expression on her face.

“Bjorn, son of Yandel? Did you come to blame me too?”

No way.

To me, they were all the same guys.

Shaking her head, the female barbarian tilted her head.

“Then why? I don’t need comfort.”

“No. I’m here to show you how to find your way.”

“…Is that true? How?”

I pointed with my hand.

“You just have to follow them.”

“Is it okay if I just follow you?”

It looked like he couldn’t believe it.

I was patient and explained step by step, following logical steps.

Midnight City. All the lights in the buildings along the main street are off. However, I see quite a lot of people walking on the street for a night time.

All of them are armed, not in everyday clothes.

Where will they go?

“Certainly. Now that I see it, I think so. I’ll give it a try.”

The female barbarian returned to the group and shouted, ‘I’ve figured out the way!’, and the barbarians stopped selecting the 3rd leader and cheered.

“As expected, Ainarda!”

“Wise female warrior!”

Anyway, the group started moving again.

As time passed, there were more armed people around.

Before I knew it, I began to see a group of lights spreading in all directions from afar.

If you’ve come this far, at least you won’t get lost.

“It’s a labyrinth! I can see the labyrinth!”

“The dimension of the sacred battle!”

I continued the thoughts that had been cut off again.

Currently, the biggest concern is whether entering the labyrinth is the right decision.

“I can feel it! The labyrinth is leading my soul!”

The savages in their excitement won’t notice if I sneak away from the pack.

Then I don’t have to go into the labyrinth.

You don’t have to bleed to fight monsters.

But even though I know that fact better than anyone else, I still can’t finish this concern.

‘It’s probably because they know that running away isn’t the solution.’

[Dungeon and Stone] has a tax system.

From the age of 20, all city dwellers must pay taxes, and failure to do so is punishable by death.

If you just listen to this, you want to know what kind of game it is, but if you look at the world view, there is a reason you can understand it to some extent.

I don’t think it’s a problem to worry about already.

“Einar! Let’s speed up!”

“Ooooooooooo!!”

Anyway, money has to be earned.

Of course, the method does not have to be to enter the labyrinth and fight monsters.

Even if he worked at a bar, there would be no problem with eating and sleeping right away.

…unless I’m a barbarian.

Barbarians are the only ones who give weapons from the start of the game.

For a very simple reason.

[Barbarian? I’m sorry. Someone was just saved.]

[Aren’t you going there? I have nothing to do with the barbarian! What am I going to break down again this time!]

Barbarians can’t do normal things.

Due to the setting in the game, there are no means of earning a living other than fighting monsters in the labyrinth.

Not sure what it will actually be like.

You may find work easier than you think.

However, it takes one thing to believe that and break away from the group.

“There are 10 minutes left until closing. Come on in!”

The labyrinth was opened once a month during game time.

In other words, if I don’t get in this time, I have to stay in this city for a month.

But what if I can’t find a job? What if

no one hires me because I’m a barbarian

? The future is bleak.

Even if I can survive with the food the chief gave me for a week, I will have to survive by picking up food waste for a week.

Maybe I will die of starvation before then.

One thing is certain, even if I endure that time, my body will be completely different from now. “I’ll go in first!” ”

No

! I am first!”

Hunger, cold, and sleep in an unsanitary environment.

I know better than anyone how fatal these things can be to the human body. So, if you’re going to go in anyway, it makes sense to go in now when you

‘re in the best condition.

It means that it can only shorten my lifeline.’

It was a time when I was deeply troubled.

“Yandel’s son, Bjorn!”

Someone grabbed my shoulder.

I checked and found out that it was the barbarian from earlier.

The name must be……

“Pnellin’s third daughter, Einar.

” She’s the second daughter.”

Anyway, what’s her business with me?

“All the other warriors have already entered the labyrinth. It’s only you and me who haven’t entered yet.”

“Ah.”

It’s somehow quiet. When I checked, there weren’t many

people left in the square, let alone other savages.

do. I arrived late, so I don’t have much time.”

Hearing that, I looked up and looked straight ahead.

The portal, which had previously been emitting strong light from afar, had noticeably shrunk in size before I knew it.

“Five minutes until closing! ”

Just in time, the guide informed us of one more remaining time.

It’s 5 minutes, so it’s tighter than we thought.

We’ll have to make a decision, but…

“Go in first. I’ll follow right after you.”

“Okay.”

Einar nodded and headed towards the portal, and my worries grew deeper and deeper.

Now then, what should I do now

? It’s me, but it’s not easy to make a decision this time.

Unlike the game, real life is at stake.

“Bjorn, son

of

Yandel!

” .”

“…nothing to thank.”

“And I want to ask you one thing.”

Anything other than my mother’s name. As

I nodded, Einar asked with a 100% sincere voice,

“How can I become wiser like you?” can you I’ve never seen a smart barbarian like you in my life. I want to be like you.” This

is a very difficult question to answer. How can I become smarter? To be honest, I wonder if it would be quicker to just be reborn…

No, why am I worrying about this?

Just give me a rough answer. Let’s send it quickly.

“You always have to think and act.”

“Hmm, that’s right!”

I said this without much thought, but Einar pondered my words with a serious expression.

Then, he said something a little unexpected.

“Thank you for your advice. If you come back alive from the labyrinth,

I will repay you.

If

you come back alive? ”

“Isn’t it obvious? Of course dying is scary. Probably other warriors too. I’m not going to show it.”

Is that so?

To be honest, it doesn’t make much sense to me.

The barbarians in the game were fearless beings. They

didn’t look much different in reality.

When I didn’t say anything, Einar added an explanation.

“We were born as warriors. it happened If you don’t fight, you die.”

Her tone was clumsy and stiff, but somehow I could fully understand what she was trying to say. “I see

.” Just

like me, they didn’t have a choice.

They were born as barbarians

. Because they can’t survive in the city.

That’s why they learned how to overcome fear and move on from a young age.

That’s all. That’s all.

What made them look like savages was,

“Live and see. Bjorn, the son of Yandel.”

Einar entered the portal.

“One minute left until closing!”

Now there is nothing to hold me back.

There is only my choice.

Like the phrase that came to mind when I entered the final boss room, my options There are two.

“Yes / No”

For some reason, my complicated mind clears up

. Yes, I’d rather think of playing a game.

When I was playing a game, I always played with an emphasis on efficiency for the goal.

Before I acted, I looked at the possibility first, and always thought of the next step. I moved thinking about the following:

If I judged that even if I saw an immediate gain, I would lose as a result, I

would say ‘No.’ If it was the other way around,

I would choose ‘Yes

.’ !”

I rushed forward.

Just like when the tribal chief called my name, fear was boiling deep in my heart.

That’s because I’ve been weak all my life, and I don’t have the usual experience of a fistfight.

Let’s say that opponent is a monster! “It’s dangerous!”

But

what if there’s no possibility?

Right

now, I have a barbarian’s body that’s powerful enough to be ignorant.

I have the knowledge I’ve gained from developing characters thousands of times.

Above all, the grand goal of surviving is Yes.

So I have no choice but to do it.

Even though I know better than anyone that a terrible penance that no sane person would choose is a predestined option. That’s

the most reasonable choice—

“I entered the crystal cave on the first floor.”

That’s what I thought.
