Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 175

175 episodes (3)

Double bed and wardrobe.

And Hansoo Lee’s room with a computer desk.

[Hurray for Korean Independence] – 0 people are online.

First, I turned on the computer and entered the chat room.

Wasn’t he the one who said he thought he was dead because he came in a few minutes late last time?

‘More than anything else, we can only be together for an hour.’

This time, there’s a pretty big incident, so I’m going to get as much information as possible from Lee Baek-ho.

‘I came first today.’

Spacious room with antique furniture.

Without even sitting on the sofa, Baekho Lee followed and logged in.

So far there were no problems.

“brother!”

But, what else is this?

Just looking at it, his expression is very urgent.

“I’m in a fight right now? So I have to go out right away.”

“What?”

“I don’t have time to go into detail.”

“no-“

“Did you hear about the battle? Never join later. I’m here to tell you.”

“What does that mean—”

“See you next month!”

That was all we had.

Baek-ho Lee, who suddenly disappeared within a few seconds of meeting face to face.

“… … what?”

About to go crazy

However, if we were to calm down and summarize the situation… … .

‘… … Are you in battle?’

One hour in community is one second in real life.

But how do you go out in such a hurry?

It means that you are fighting a strong enemy.

Even if I stayed here for about a minute, only about 0.02 seconds had passed outside.

Proof that even that time is an enemy that cannot be wasted.

‘What the hell is he fighting with?’

I do not know.

Only one thing is certain.

The only thing is that he has a close connection with the subjugation of Noark.

‘Is this bastard still in the underground city?’

late night.

It’s not even in the labyrinth, but I can’t think of a number of cases other than the subjugation of Noark after all, that I’m fighting an enemy.

Because it was just yesterday that the subjugation team went out.

The King’s army and the Explorers’ Union, and even the Paladins who sent support from the temple. It was very spectacular to see them line up into the sewer.

‘The last words I left… … . Does that mean you thought the subjugation would fail?’

Don’t ever participate later.

Interpreting this, it means that the first subjugation will fail and a second subjugation army will be formed.

‘Oh, it’s really frustrating… … .’

Once I was here, nothing came out, so I went back to my room. It was three hours before the watcher of the round table opened.

I started surfing the web with nothing to do.

At first, I checked the exchange, and then it toured the chat rooms with no entry restrictions.

everything was the same

Everyone is only talking about the Noark subjugation.

‘… … There’s already been a riot down there.’

Among the players, the number of those who participated in the subjugation was considerable.

And if you listen to them… … .

“I don’t know because I’m in the back, but the atmosphere is really unusual. There’s something that keeps popping up in front of you, but the commander’s cubs close their mouths and don’t explain anything. … .”

“Why are there so few participants today? Are they all dead?”

Even at this moment, it seems that a fierce battle is unfolding underground.

I honestly can’t even imagine how intense it is.

It is even more so if you look at this post posted on the free bulletin board.

[I’m going to die soon, so I’m asked.]

– I was stabbed in the neck, but when I opened my eyes, I was here.

-Will you be alive for 12 seconds?

– Fuck you.

[EdwardBless77: May it not be an eternal dream. I pray that the place where you wake up is your home.]

[└Writer: I really hope so.]

[godFLEXyou: It was hard. Stop resting.]

[└Author: Thank you for the comfort.]

[stevencastle: I think it was a forward force. They say it’s living hell right now. Have you even met Orcules?]

[└Writer: I don’t know. I heard someone screaming, but I can’t remember. Maybe he got it wrong. Because of the warlocks, I couldn’t see even 1m in front.]

[teckmonkey: What do you want to do the most?]

[└Written by: Breeding.]

[└teckmonkey: Uh, um… … I’ll stop talking.]

[tunaboot: Where are you from?]

[└Writer: I don’t know where you’re talking about. Earth Canada. Speaking of this, the Aribeten Clan was, at first, an executive level.]

[└tunaboot: Of course, I was referring to my hometown. But, since you were an officer of the Aribeten clan, you were a giant.]

[└1spring: So what do you do, now I’m dying. good bye]

[└ionboii: Wow, seeing them coming out here like this, I guess it’s not aggression? I sincerely wish you peace. It was a lot of work. And I hope you just ignore the guy talking nonsense above.]

There were dozens of comments below that.

Even as the number of comments increased in real time, the author responded one by one.

Reading from the top as if possessed by something, I wrote a comment.

[Elfnunna: Why are you giving up already? I’m not doing this, I should log out immediately and try to live.]

If you don’t give up, there is a chance.

It may be infinitely close to 0, but it is not 0.

That proof is me.

However, I added an explanation because I thought it was too rude after wearing it.

[└Elfnunna: I was also stabbed in the neck with a knife. There were times when I went into a state similar to the countdown in the game. Still, the body moved. In the end, after killing the enemy, he ate a potion and barely survived. So why don’t you try it too?]

My experiences in the land of the dead and the Blood Citadel.

I hoped this would give hope to someone who doesn’t know a name or face.

However… … .

[└Writer: I understand what you mean. But I’m an archer. I can’t use the way you said.]

The answer that came back was perfect resignation.

[└Elfnunna: You can still try it, right?]

I commented as if possessed by something.

An answer came quickly.

[└Writer: Sorry, if I die anyway, I want to die as myself. Not this damn body, but me, the one my parents gave birth to.]

As soon as I saw it, my head went numb.

I let go of the keyboard.

What are you really saying here?

Well, by the way, isn’t it a real body?

After all, is it just the expression of your identity?

Well, no one can argue with the author’s choice.

So that wouldn’t be the case.

“… … .”

I looked at the closet without realizing it.

To be precise, I looked in the mirror next to it.

Hansoo Lee appeared.

Tadadadat-

I hit the keyboard again.

And I want you to rest in peace, or to wake up from the original world. I wrote and erased those words of comfort countless times.

But I couldn’t press the enter key easily.

Tadadadat-

Even while I couldn’t do this or that while beating the keyboard for such a long time, the players’ comments continued to run.

The author answered each one of them.

[branbran_helmet: dog trash.]

[└Author; That’s right, this dog’s trash!]

After the last comment, there were no more comments.

I hit refresh.

Suddenly, the author’s nickname, which was written at the top, was blurred.

“… … .”

Meant he was dead.

***

I don’t know why either.

I don’t know their faces, and I’ve never met and talked to them in person.

But my heart keeps beating wildly.

pounding.

Death that I saw countless times when I opened my eyes in this world.

The weight of that death feels heavy today.

What could be the reason?

Drooling-

I scrolled up as if looking for an answer.

And I read it again from the top.

Thanks to many people asking about his true form, that alone gave us a glimpse into a person’s life.

Drooling-

He was from Canada.

Born into a peasant family, his real name was Mac Davis.

My first kiss was when I was 17.

Was your partner your girlfriend’s best friend?

I think he’s a hitter, but he didn’t live with a fatal mistake.

Drooling-

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

My dream was to be a veterinarian.

It was the trigger that I had to watch as my dog, which I had as a child, chokes and suffocates while vomiting.

But I failed because I didn’t have the brain to study.

After all, he said that he sometimes enjoyed playing games while helping his parents farm.

Drooling-

Yes, he was an ordinary person.

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Moderately good, sometimes something goes wrong and someone remembers him as a bad person… … .

Such an ordinary person no matter where you look.

Druck.

Soon I stopped scrolling at one point.

When I checked again, there was a new comment attached to the comment I had left.

[└Writer: The words you left me keep in my memory. Somehow, I think you are a strong person. I hope I can clear this game and return. Of course, it’s your choice.]

The words of encouragement he left to me when I could not write down only a few sentences of consolation, so I was repeating erasing and writing.

“… … .”

Just one word of ‘choice’ shows how thoughtful he was.

Tadadadat-

I wrote a new comment by tapping on the keyboard.

I won’t be able to see you anymore anyway… … .

[└Elfnunna: If I go back, I will write a letter to the address you wrote above.]

[└Elfnunna: You worked hard.]

I left the post with a meaningless comment.

Then I lay down on the bed for a while, idly thinking about this and that.

How long has it been since then?

[03:07]

There were only three minutes left until the closing of the round table’s watchers entry.

But what else is this?

profit-

The room at the round table, which had entered in a hurry, was empty.

***

The crescent moon, the goblin, the fox, and the antlers.

And there are no clowns.

A room at the round table where only me is seated.

‘… … I wonder if they all participated in the subjugation war?’

Again, nothing comes to mind other than that.

3 hours within the community.

Outside, that time was only 3 seconds.

What else could be the reason why you couldn’t come here without those three seconds?

‘I didn’t know it was going to be windy here too… … .’

Following Lee Baek-ho, a wind that has been met in succession.

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

My eyes lit up without even feeling the emptiness, and when I woke up, I was back in my original room.

[Minimum number not met.]

[The meeting of this round is over.]

A message pops up on the monitor.

Yes, this is what happens when the closing time for admission comes without anyone.

It means that the core of community activities has been lost.

‘Still, let’s go and look around.’

In the end, I had no choice but to surf the web and check the little news.

Time passed and it was time to end.

“The character will move to Rafdonia.”

The familiar Bjorn’s room and Bjorn’s body.

But today, it feels a little strange.

No, is it just because I’m tired?

‘Now let’s go to sleep.’

I cleared my head and lay on the bed.

creak.

As always, the bed made a sound of pain and fell asleep.

Another day ended with this.

and three days later.

“Bjorn! Uh, come and see me! The subjugation squad that went down to the basement has returned!”

The army headed for Noark has returned.

Only a third of them survived.

“… … .”

“… … .”

An army passing by silently with droopy shoulders.

That alone, the result was obvious.

‘You really failed.’

Things got a bit tedious.
