Chereads / Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game / Chapter 8 - Night Friend (1)

Chapter 8 - Night Friend (1)

Walking in a cave.

This time, without waddling, it was fine.

"The character wears leather boots."

"The overall item level increases by +5."

The size of the boots remains a little. Thanks, I know one more thing. His feet were too big for his height. Anyway, it was quite strong, so even if you step on the trap, you won't be fatally injured like in the past.

"The character wears a two-handed hammer."

"The overall item level increases by +30."

This hammer made of solid iron is about 1m long. When the uncle used it, it was a two-handed blunt weapon, but since I used it, it was possible to wield it with one hand.

「The character is wearing a shoulder guard.」

「Overall item level rises by +13.」

It is made of steel. I tied the laces a bit loose and it fits perfectly. When he took off his top and put on only the guard, he looked like a gladiator.

"The character is wearing a backpack."

"The inventory increases."

Now, you don't have to store bloody magic stones like bread, and they are much less cumbersome when moving.

Jilgeongjilgung.

Take out the jerky and chew it.

There are few of them for snacks, but they are more delicious than bread.

The remaining part was cut with a hand-held knife and stored well so as not to be stained with saliva.

Day 2 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 a compass and if you want to know the time, take out a pocket watch and look at it.

A bottle of emergency potion will enable you to cope with any injury.

Isn't that a bit ironic?

After killing people, I was able to live a little more like a human.

***

Smash is It was a good skill when used as a shield, but its power was extraordinary when holding a proper weapon.

Poo-!

With one blow from the hammer, the goblin becomes light and disappears.

If I had known this was going to happen, I would have just chosen a weapon at the start. It's a shield anyway, so I could have saved money and bought it later.

Well, I didn't know at the time that I would fight so well.

Is it because he entered the body of a barbarian?

When I'm in combat, I feel like my body doesn't belong to me. It is possible to adapt slowly, but exclamations still come out when I see this body that always exceeds expectations.

"I'm sleepy."

I yawn and pick up the two magic stones that have fallen nearby and put them in my bag.

This is a change that occurred when the second day started.

The goblins began to come out in groups of two.

It will probably increase to three or four by tomorrow, and that condition will continue until the 7th day when the labyrinth closes. Because it was like that in the game too.

In that sense, it's still not bad.

New weapons have been created, combat power has increased, and various consumables have made it safer.

It's pretty smooth.

'Except for the fact that I keep closing my eyes.'

From yesterday until now, I have been moving and fighting the goblins. But the time I slept was only 10 minutes, and even that was standing up and dozing off.

I want to sleep.

I don't even want blankets and pillows. I want to squat down on the floor because I like it.

I really feel like I'm going to die like this—

"Oh shit!"

I fell asleep and tripped on a stone.

Unlucky like me. If it had been a trap, I would have been greatly disappointed.

"Let's get some sleep then..."

As soon as I made my decision, I leaned against the wall holding the shield and hammer in both hands.

Even though I don't have any night friends by my side…

Rather, I feel safe on that side. If you're going to be ambushed anyway, goblins are better.

Wouldn't it be more likely that the person stabbed by the carving knife would survive?

Rather than being beaten with a hammer while lying down to sleep.

Chak-

Niimi.

I woke up to the familiar sound of footsteps.

When I woke up, I didn't even blow my nose for over 4 hours. It seems to be sleeping alone, so it appears right away.

I can see why the old man told me not to look away.

… tenacious bastards.

I immediately ran out and thrust the hammer into the goblin's head.

puck-!

"That's great!"

There were a total of 2 that sneaked up on me, but as soon as my friend was killed, one immediately turned and ran away.

yes go go

I don't even have the energy to follow.

It was less than 10 minutes after checking the time

.

In the end, I had no choice but to go around the cave again and hunt the goblins.

Then, when I felt tired and couldn't stand it any longer, I leaned against the wall and dozed off like before.

There were several times when I felt dizzy while dozing off, but there were only two times when I felt like I was about to die.

Once, when I felt a presence and opened my eyes, a young explorer was quietly approaching me.

When he met my eyes, he smiled as if he was embarrassed, then took a step back and disappeared.

…I get fucking goosebumps just thinking about it again.

In terms of dizziness alone, the second one is not easy either.

Especially since it is currently ongoing.

"The character was attacked by a goblin while sleeping."

For the first time, I woke up not to a presence, but to the pain.

I saw a goblin right in front of me. First of all, I killed the one in front by hitting it with a hammer, and the other one jumped out again this time.

"That's great!!"

I immediately identified the cause of the pain.

But, oh my god, there is a carving knife between the collarbone bones.

…Hey, my left arm didn't move well for some reason.

After all, it's a relief that it ended up being painful.

Even if I was a little shorter or the goblin had a little better jumping power, the place where this carving knife was stuck would be my neck.

hard.

He gritted his teeth and pulled out the carving knife.

Then, apply a few drops of the potion from the bag to the wound. As soon as I close the stopper and put it back in the bag, the blood boils and regenerates quickly.

Chiyiyi profit.

Is it the psychopath who made the potion?

Somehow it hurts more than when I was stabbed.

"Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Canable …"

After about 5 minutes, the pain disappears.

I could wake up from this kind of pain, but my eyelids are much heavier than before.

A focus that blurs even if you let go of your concentration for a moment.

It's time to make the decision you've been putting off.

It's a barbarian's body that is sensitive to murderous intent, but even so, there is a limit to dozing like this. Didn't you just wake up after being stabbed with a knife?

'I need to take a break.'

When I checked the time, about 14 hours had passed since I broke up with my uncle.

Perhaps the adventurers on the first floor are also wandering around looking for night friends again.

"Hey Barbarian, are you looking for a night mate?"

Since he was actually wandering around the area, the explorers started talking to him.

very fervently too.

"Hmm, you look pretty tired? Will you come here?"

"If it's a barbarian, it's trustworthy. If you come, there will be 3 of us. Why don't you join us?"

It feels like being a popular prostitute.

Is it because it's the 2nd day that everyone is in a similar situation?

I don't see any cubs betting on the smell. Or was the smell not a problem from the beginning?

To say the least, yesterday when I was covered in blood and waddling around because I lost a shoe, it was a little worse.

"Really? It's a pity."

Numerous love calls flooded in, but I refused them all and kept passing through the aisle.

Ha, isn't there a solid barbarian somewhere?

In fact, the best case for me is to meet my own people and make friends for the night. The problem is that until the second day, the barbarians couldn't even sniff.

"You're looking for your own people? Hmm, that must be difficult, right?"

"It's hard? Why?"

"Even a barbarian who has just completed the coming-of-age ceremony will go upstairs in two or three months.

Upon investigation, it seems that barbarians themselves are rare on the first floor. Well, with a body like this, it's strange to squirm around on the first floor.

In the first place, 99% of the explorers I met on the first floor were human.

"Why don't you join us instead?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't."

"I see. I hope that Lapdonia's protection will be with you on your journey."

"thanks."

This man seemed quite trustworthy, but I continued moving after that conversation.

After learning that the heart of a barbarian was expensive, there was no young explorer who did not look suspicious.

Click.

I got out my compass.

I've been moving south ever since I got this, but I haven't even gotten out of the goblin zone yet.

I can feel how big the first floor is again.

'…Should I give up on finding my own people?'

The worry didn't last long.

I decided to stop looking for needles in the desert and come up with a realistic plan.

It doesn't have to be the same people, so I'm looking for a night friend.

Except for humans.

Find a heterogeneous race with a population ratio of less than 1%.

A fairy who values promises or a dwarf with a big personality like a barbarian would be the best, but it

wouldn't matter too much if they were from another race.

Unlike most humans, this race can afford it.

Given time, he has the talent to climb all the way up, but he's already blinded by the 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 a strange fairy who was injured.」

I finally found the different species I was looking for.

***

The moment our eyes meet, a strangely suffocating silence begins to drift.

"...."

The pointed-eared fairy sits with her back against the wall, staring at me in silence.

Were you sleeping alone without a night friend?

Embarrassed emotions and deep vigilance are felt in the amber eyes that shine like a cat. Just looking at cancer

,

it seems that I just want to pass by and disappear....

As the confrontation lengthened, the fairy got up from her seat with a nervous face.

But the posture is unnatural.

When I looked at it, I saw a wound on my stomach.

"You're hurt."

It's not deep, but it's a long cut.

A carving knife used by goblins could never produce it.

I came to a quick conclusion.

"Are you human?"

The fairy did not answer.

It looks like I'm afraid.

The following is understandable. Even I would be very scared if a figure of this size approached me in a situation where I was injured.

Isn't he even a female gender?

The body is also small. Will it be around 160?

Not bad anyway—

"Help me."

huh?

"please. Please take a look, Mr. Barbarian, there is a younger brother in the city

who needs to be taken care of.

" I

was thinking

about

what kind of development this was. To be

honest, I thought you were the cool beauty type. I think

that's what it looks like, but most of the way fairies talk and personality in the game are like that.

If you knew that Hu was a character like this, you would approach it completely differently.

Before the situation gets worse, misunderstand "I don't intend to kill you,"

I

say with the correct pronunciation, making eye contact.

The eyes are the window to the heart, so if you give them time to calm down, the other side will know that I mean it—

"…just do this. Do I have to do it, Mister Barbarian?"

— is an asshole.

I am confused about my identity.

I feel like a barbarian bullying high school girls in front of the school.

I

'm definitely a barbarian. "

Huh

_ ."

A sigh comes out of nowhere.

What should I do?

If I show that I'm not that kind of trash with actions, not words, will the misunderstanding be resolved?

…It doesn't seem like a bad way.

"Take treatment first. Let's talk later."

I took a step Stepping back, I took out herbs and bandages from my bag

and

threw them

.

I couldn't.
