Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

The car Raven shook Bjorn’s shoulder.

The fainted colleagues woke up one by one.

“Ms. Raven? What the hell is this…”

“Bjorn! Is Bjorn dead?!”

“My lady! I’m glad you’re safe……”

Questions blooming everywhere.

Only Raven could answer.

That’s because she didn’t faint.

“The vampire is dead. Mr. Yandel is alive. Tarzin, I’m fine, so can you stop yelling at me?”

“Amazing! Killing a vampire with one magic shot!”

Hearing Murad’s exclamations, she bit her lips. I was somehow infuriated.

It wasn’t the ‘black spot’ that killed the vampire.

In terms of contribution, it’s not that she doesn’t have merit, but…

“…It’s Mr. Yandel, not me.”

“What do you mean?”

“It was Mr. Yandel who killed the vampire.”

Murad furrowed his eyebrows.

“Is this your friend?”

I looked at him the other day and praised him with things like ‘special’ and ‘great warrior’, but he didn’t seem to believe that he had defeated a level 5 monster.

It was not something she could not understand.

‘If only I had heard the story… I’d probably do the same.’

Is it because of the distance?

Unaffected by ‘Pain Sharing’, she watched the whole story alone, unknown to anyone.

yes literally.

I watched.

What could a wizard who had run out of mana do?

“Everyone, thank Mr. Yandel. If it wasn’t for him, no one would have been able to open their eyes alive.”

“That’s right… but can you tell us a bit more about what happened?”

Just as I was wondering how to explain it, Einar joined the conversation.

“Then what happened to Bjorn! Shouldn’t we hurry up and feed him the potion?”

In other words, if you have a potion, ask for it.

Raven shook his head and replied.

“The potion… doesn’t have any meaning. From the looks of it, the body seems to have mostly recovered.”

If I dare to predict, there won’t be many occasions for this man to eat potions in the future.

Any minor injuries will heal quickly.

“Then why haven’t you woken up yet!”

“I don’t know about that. But…”

“Looks like you’ve figured out something! What is that? Wizard! Tell me now!”

Raven took a deep breath and replied.

“Probably… exhaustion.”

“…Exhaustion? Didn’t you say that your body was completely healed earlier!”

Einar placed a hand on her shoulder, dirty with dirt and blood.

It looks as if the sky has collapsed.

“How can you two become real lovers?”

“Ah ah no! Why is it suddenly like that!”

“Huh, anyway, I don’t know exactly. I’m not a priest at all. I just know of a few similar cases.”

“A case? Miss Raven? Are these things common?”

“It’s not common… but it happens occasionally. It’s the case where you can’t wake up because your body has healed but your mind hasn’t recovered.”

Warriors who are under extreme stress enough to remain traumatized, or after a battle in which they really gave their all, sometimes fall into this state.

After explaining this, Einar raised his voice.

“I’ve never heard of such a thing! Besides, it doesn’t even make sense! He’s too mentally exhausted to wake up? Bjorn isn’t that weak!”

I’m not weak…….

She agreed with that remark.

A few hours ago, I would have snorted to myself, but at least I did now.

That would be the case, because she was the only one who watched him fight against the vampires until the very last moment.

But…

no, that makes my thoughts even more hardened.

“To be honest, I’m almost certain that Mr. Yandel isn’t waking up because of mental exhaustion.”

Tired and unable to get up?

This goes beyond the realm of being weak-minded and stubborn.

It was a natural fight.

‘Perhaps if she had seen it herself, this woman wouldn’t have said this to me.’

Perhaps today he witnessed an extremely valuable scene.

“Wizard! Then when can Bjorn wake up!”

“Well, maybe a day late at the earliest, maybe two days later.”

“Then you’ll be up in a few hours! Bjorn is a great warrior!”

‘…If that’s the case, why did you ask?’

Raven’s planting felt uncomfortable once again, but for some reason he didn’t want to shoot at him.

It was close to exactly not having the energy to do that.

In fact, it didn’t even sound as absurd as before.

“A great warrior…….”

In the history of history, there are less than 10 Barbarians who have officially received that title from the king.

‘Well, it seems to be used as a compliment among barbarians these days.’

She gathered her thoughts one last time before continuing.

Essence of a corpse golem and essence of a vampire.

A barbarian who ate that of a guardian too.

The coming-of-age ceremony was last month, so this is the second time you entered the labyrinth?

Seeing the sleeping barbarian unaware of the world, she opened her mouth.

“…maybe it really is.”

Of course, in order to do that, you would have to survive dozens of more crises like today.

***

‘Am I alive…….’

When I opened my eyes, it was the middle of the night.

For some reason, Einar was giving me a lap pillow, and as soon as our eyes met, he screamed ‘Bjorn!!!’ and made me fall asleep.

“…Where are the others?”

“Everyone left! More than that, are you okay, Bjorn? I was worried because you’ve been passed out for three full days!”

It’s been three days?

Then, in terms of time, is it now the 7th day?

Awake, I stood up straight. And once I checked the current status.

There are no visible injuries.

Aside from being hungry, I am generally in good health.

“By the way, Einar, what are these pants I’m wearing?”

In fact, the word “pants” is refined.

A piece of cloth that could be used for a handkerchief was wrapped around my lower body, covering only the important parts.

If I were to categorize it correctly, it would be more like a skirt than pants.

It’s also of minimal size.

“Ah! In that case, the wizard gave me the extra cloth.”

“…then did you put it on?”

“Of course!”

For some reason, I felt ashamed, but it was a little less because Einar didn’t show much.

Well, it’s a bit funny to see the warriors face each other in this area.

“Nothing to be ashamed of. Bjorn is a great warrior!”

Well, I didn’t mean sexual harassment.

“…so what happened after that?”

I changed the subject to forget my shame.

I wondered about everything that happened after I passed out. Especially when it comes to loot.

“Numbers item? Murad took it, and the wizard took the rift stone.”

“what?”

It was a series of surprises from the start.

If I’m alive right now, it must mean that I absorbed its essence… Doesn’t this mean that the vampire dropped all three drops?

What kind of chukbang do you have?

“Oh right! There was no dice rolling when distributing the rift stones. Because the wizard insisted on taking this at least to make up for the loss…” Einar continued as if making an excuse

. .

“Murad still said it didn’t matter, but I still said no! But then the wizard said something strange.”

“Strange words?”

“Anyway, Bjorn said that since you took the biggest one, he wouldn’t be able to say anything about taking the rift stone.”

‘Listening, it seems that only that woman knows that I ate the vampire’s essence.’

I quietly shook my head.

There was no regret in this distribution of loot.

Whatever the reason, the wizard fed me the essence of the corpse golem. Considering the additional potion money poured into me, the wizard actually suffered almost a loss.

If you’re greedy for crack stones there, you’re just a thief.

Einar seemed to think differently.

“But I said we should wait until you wake up before deciding, but we couldn’t help it!

“You don’t have to blame yourself. Wasn’t it inevitable?”

To be honest, I can only imagine the expressions on the faces of those who were held captive for half a day by Einar’s compulsion, but

it would be better to just praise them here.

“Thank you. It’s good to have you.”

“…It’s all natural! Aren’t we colleagues!”

I checked my luggage, which Einar supposedly collected.

Backpack mace A few pieces of scrap metal that would have been my shield in the past

…….

First of all, I packed everything in my backpack, took out food and a canteen, and simply filled my hungry stomach.

And I checked the time.

11:20 p.m.

‘It’s less than an hour until the stairs close.’

“Bjorn! When you’re done eating, why don’t you leave? Time’s running out!”

“I can’t.”

I stubbornly refused.

I desperately want to leave this disgusting place right away, but…

After all the hard work, shouldn’t I take care of everything I can?

I want to check out the boss room as well.

‘Since the wizard took the Necronomicon, is there only one left?’

It seems that we must move quickly.

***

“You have entered the Crystal Cave on the 1st floor.”

“The labyrinth has been closed.”

“The character moves to Lapdonia.”

***

I exhaled, feeling the sunlight on my skin for the first time in a while.

‘It’s just about safe……’

Time was tighter than expected.

It took less than 10 minutes to find the hidden item on the ceiling of the watchtower on the outer wall by climbing the ladder, but

going back to the boss room was tough.

‘…even though it was a waste of time in the end.’

He said he waited for half a day, but did he actually mean the time for the wizard to investigate?

‘Well, given her personality, it’s even more strange that she just passed by.’

Broken walls everywhere.

torn frame.

Even a box in a form I had never seen before that had been left open.

‘I’m sure there was some additional reward, but I swallowed it alone…….’ I

rushed to the boss room where I arrived, and there were already traces of a brisk investigation.

However, rather than anger at being scammed, I was more curious about the identity of the object.

Isn’t that a mutant rift that has never been cleared?

An element that even I, who have been playing for 9 years, don’t know about?

Curiosity as a gamer is growing rapidly.

‘I can’t give you what you ask for… If we meet later, we should ask quietly.’

In any case, I looked around in case the wizard missed something, and the time became very tight.

In fact, as soon as I got out of the crack, the stairs closed, so it’s hard to even say that it was dangerous.

If I hadn’t, I would have caught the boss mob and almost got stuck there forever.

“Kennick’s fourth son, Serum! The scars have increased! I’m envious!”

“No big deal! Panun’s third son Karak!”

While briefly organizing my thoughts, the voices of the barbarians were heard here and there.

Fortunately, I haven’t been able to find it yet.

I crouched down to avoid being noticed and headed to the 9th level explorer’s exchange booth.

Fortunately, we arrived early so the line wasn’t long.

There were no barbarians to bother with.

When I handed over the magic stone, the official changed it into currency like a machine like last time.

“It’s 231520 stones.”

230 thousand stones.

It’s an amount that feels infinitely small compared to the hardships I’ve gone through, but…

‘Because this isn’t everything.’

Absorbed two essences during this expedition.

In addition, after disposing of the goods, the profit would be several times that of magic stones.

‘Somehow, the magic stone always becomes the wealth, not the main.’

I don’t know if I should be happy or sad about this.

It was the car he was picking up his pockets with a bitter smile.

“That’s too much for a 9th level explorer.”

I take back the pocket the official put down and stare at my face with a meaningful look.

“What’s in the backpack on your back?”

What do you have?

There’s nothing I can’t answer, but…

“…why would you ask that?”

For some reason, the back of my head feels cold.

I looked around and saw that the guards were coming towards me from far away.

It looks like he pressed an emergency call button hidden under the bank desk.

“Is this interest?”

“yes.”

I raised my arms to express my willingness to cooperate with the public authorities, but after a few words with the government officials, the guards forcibly bound my arms.

Shiva barely came back alive, so what is this again?

“Barbarian, let’s go over there for a while and talk.”

Instinctively, I felt that something was wrong.
