Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 93 Player (5)

“Did you properly collect the computer that was handed over to the police?”

“Yes, I’ve erased all traces of it as well as my memory, so there won’t be any articles or anything to do like before.”

At the report of a woman, the old man nodded and slowly read the papers on the desk.

A document summarizing a man’s life.

It didn’t take long to read the entire page.

“He’s strong against bad luck.”

The old man, who had briefly recited his sentiments, continued.

“But that’s all.”

The woman nodded as if agreeing.

The man’s life had so many twists and turns that it is not enough to say that he was strong in bad luck.

But other than that, there was nothing special about it.

The workplace is normal, the academic background is normal, and the human relationship is also normal.

everything was normal

Except for this game.

“I don’t understand at all.”

That’s why the man feels even more special.

Auril Gavis’ legacy, [Dungeons and Stones], is a flop. After long deliberation, everyone came to that conclusion.

There is no disagreement that it captured that world better than any other work, but…

it was impossible to clear it.

So it was scrapped 5 years ago.

“…But, to think that someone who cleared it will come out now. Could it be that it wasn’t a failure?”

The old man who had been muttering so shook his head.

Didn’t everyone agree that there was no guarantee that even if it was cleared, it would produce better results than other works?

His choice was not wrong.

But…

“I’m a little curious to see what happened.”

Soon the old man opened his laptop and entered the man’s name.

[Lee Han-soo]

It was the name of the only player who cleared his legacy that

everyone said was impossible .

***

[Possessed GP: 139000]

I, who sold information about the 1st floor lord and Skull Island, did not sell any more information.

There were two reasons.

First of all, it took more time than expected for each case.

It was because the buyer was suspicious of me because there was no transaction history.

Well, just by answering a few questions, I believed both of them and bought the information……. It

would be more correct to say that they trusted this community rather than completely trusting me.

It’s a place where you can’t re-enter if you dare to cheat and get kicked out of the community.

and second.

In fact, this reason was bigger than time.

‘If I sell it at random, I’m sure it will stand out.’

Isn’t there a saying that an angular stone is right?

No matter who it is, I want to reduce the attention.

I don’t even need a GP right now—

Tring-!

Then a note arrived.

[Sender: Ghost master.]

A nickname I’ve seen several times in announcements.

In other words, it was a note from the community manager.

My heart pounded as if a thief had tripped on me, but when I opened it, there was nothing special about it.

[Elfnunna’s transaction history is more than 10 times. EXP +10]

[Member level is adjusted.]

[Deadman – > Goblin.]

Automatic message sent as community level rises.

It’s not like there’s a big benefit to having a high grade, but there’s nothing bad about going up.

Sometimes there are chat rooms with rank restrictions.

Dot dot dot dot dot.

First of all, I posted a question using GP Burn.

The GP offered as compensation was between 10,000 and 100,000.

It was an expression of his willingness to pay for valuable information.

[Transaction article has been registered.]

After registration, I spent time looking around the community as if surfing the web.

Looking at the drips and humorous posts on the free bulletin board, I feel as if I have returned to the original world.

It was when such a time continued.

‘2 million stones for 100,000 points?’

Looking around the exchange, I learned the spot value of GP.

My current GP is about 140,000.

‘Crazy then, did you earn 2.8 million stones by answering two questions?’

At first, my mouth fell open, but it wasn’t unconvincing after thinking about it. If the information you sold didn’t have that much value, that wasn’t the case again.

‘If I just sold information here, I’d be sitting on a cushion of money?’

Suddenly, I even thought that there was no reason to enter the labyrinth anymore.

But…

‘Let’s not think strangely.’

Still, the act of exchanging GP for money feels dangerous to me.

‘Let’s not be greedy and thoroughly use it as a place to get information.’

Therefore, I set up a new iron rule and made up my mind.

It was time to look around the community.

Tring-!

A notification sound is heard.

I checked the monitor and saw that a new message had arrived.

[Elfnunalove requested a 1:1 chat.]

Elfnunalove.

It was an awkward nickname for me, but I pressed accept without hesitation.

That’s because there’s only one thing that can contact me.

‘I was worried, but it appeared today.’

Finally, information sellers appeared.

***

A library with an antique interior.

I was a little surprised as I smelled the faint smell of books.

‘It’s very well decorated. How much did you spend?’

It is on a different level from the vacant lot that was the background of New Vibang or the desolate field that became the base when I started a conversation.

There must have been quite a few GPs.

However, I don’t think it’s a big deal.

‘Certainly, this alone builds some trust…’ After

looking around briefly, I spotted a white man and greeted him.

“hello.”

“Yes, hello. Elfnunna-sama, right? Please sit here.”

As soon as I sat down, the man immediately got to the point.

“You want to know about a mage named Schinal Fergang of the Tarutein School?”

“That’s right.”

dimensional collapse.

If I only ask about this, it is difficult for me to discern whether the other person is lying or not.

But if you ask about Chenal Fergang, it’s different.

Just like this.

“I’d like to know more about what he’s been up to lately.”

“Hmm, is it because of the rumors about the dimensional collapse phenomenon?”

As soon as he mentions the name Schinal Fergang, he immediately associates it with dimensional collapse.

The reliability of the information to be released later increases further.

So, I asked openly.

“Are those rumors true?”

The man asked for 20,000 GP in exchange for an answer, and when I accepted, he continued talking.

“If you’re asking if that’s what came out of his mouth, yes, yes. But if you’re asking about the truth of the rumor… it really isn’t.”

“What does it mean?”

The man took a moment as if to organize his thoughts, then cut it off.

“This means that dimension collapse does not occur.”

“What is your reason for saying that?”

“Because that’s a story involving high-ranking figures and political tensions…….”

Simply put, it means high-level information to receive 20,000 GP.

“I’ll give you another 20,000 GP.”

“If you want to hear that much.”

The man nodded and continued talking without interruption.

“The Tarutein School is a school that focuses on the study of magic in terms of labyrinths, especially dimension. And the master wanted to do an experiment.”

“Experiment……?”

“I can’t go into details, but it’s not a dangerous experiment. It just requires fewer explorers than usual to enter the labyrinth for this.”

So, the Tarutein School spread rumors through the mouth of their mage in the city.

Rumors of a dimensional collapse would circulate, deterring superstitious explorers.

“…Can I just talk about this?”

“I didn’t just wear it, I was selling it after receiving a GP?”

In contrast to his confident attitude, he had nothing to say.

The man smiled and continued.

“Does it have anything to do with me in the first place? I’m not the master of that school. Besides, sooner or later, the royal family will post an official letter denying the rumors.”

“……At the royal family?”

“Then, will the Lapdonia royal family be alone? If there are few explorers, the amount of magic stones supplied will decrease.”

Well, that’s it too.

After hearing the story briefly, the situation seemed to match. The grounds presented without obstruction were also convincing stories.

It doesn’t look like you’re lying.

When I said that I would complete the transaction at this point and send the remaining 20,000 GP separately, the man shook his head.

“Come to think of it, that’s okay. I think you’re a fan of him.”

20,000 GP is 400,000 stones, but he said he wouldn’t accept it because he was a fan of the same person…….

Even though he said thank you, curiosity blossomed.

How old is this person?

‘5th year? 10th year?’

Whatever it was, one thing was certain.

400,000 stones have firmly established themselves in this world to the extent that it is not regrettable.

‘That’s why I’m guessing that even if I suffer for days and days, I know everything about the inside of the information I didn’t know.’

Again, the original intention is engraved in the chest.

15 times? 20 times? 30 times? Or 100 times?

Well I didn’t care which mode they cleared.

Because this is not a game world.

A stern reality dominated by the barbaric providence that those who survive are strong.

‘A small Vulcan or anything, in the end, am I a newbie here…’

I feel that I still have a long way to go than the road I’ve passed.

But why?

It must have been just a moment ago that he carved his original intention.

‘It’s fun.’

The man who bought the first-floor layer lord strategy.

A woman who wanted information about Skull Island.

The place the man standing in front of me would have reached over the years.

food.

It never occurred to me that I couldn’t go.

***

Black DOS screen.

After a brief loading, a beep sounds and a log containing the player’s actions fills the monitor.

Beep beep beep beep-

The rules of the diary are simple.

Only actions are recorded here.

That’s why…

“The coming-of-age ceremony has been completed safely.”

“New equipment has been installed.”

The shield was chosen at the coming-of-age ceremony.

“The character stepped on a goblin trap.” As soon as

he entered the labyrinth, he fell into danger.

Stepping on a goblin trap and crawling on the floor bleeding for hours.

killing people on the first day.

Being friends with an elf I met by chance.

And starting with nothing, he reached the second floor at the first entry.

“You’re crazy.”

The more he read the journal, the more the old man became absurd. Rather, it was all the more so because it was a journal in which only actions were recorded.

Because every action has a reason.

The old man, who had seen many players’ journals, could see the reason for the judgment that Lee must have made in an instant.

Because that’s how it should be.

Because that’s the right choice.

So, this man put it into action.

Like a real game.

It was truly amazing.

How many players have made unreasonable choices in the gap between the game and reality.

“… How many people reached the second floor when they first entered?”

“As far as I know, 117 people.”

117 people.

Quite a number to say small.

But the old man was sure.

Of the 117 players, there was no player who had such bad conditions.

‘That’s a strange guy.’

The old man, who had been scrolling down the journal ever since, froze at one point.

「You have killed the vampire duke Cambormire. EXP +5”

“Bonus for defeating high-ranking mutants. EXP +1”

“Guardian defeat bonus. EXP +3”

“[Vampire’s Essence-Guardian] permeates the character’s soul…”

Before I knew it, the journal on the screen had arrived recently.

「Bjorn Yandel」

Level: 3 (New +1)

Body: 155 (New +75) / Spirit: 90 (New +44) / Ability: 115 (New +85)

Item Level: 98 (New -104)

Overall Combat Index : 381.5 (New +204)

Essence acquired: Corpse Golem – Rank 7 Vampire (Guardian) – Rank 5 (New)

Character information that would be hard to believe even after several years.

It was achieved in just two months after waking up in an unfamiliar body.

Of course, some luck must have followed.

But…

‘If it was an area only possible by luck, at least one person would have had a similar case.’

The old man raised the player’s Watch Rating to maximum.

Statistics are like that.

As samples and data accumulate, the number of cases decreases and uncertain information becomes clearer facts. Surprisingly, the ‘probability’ derived through such a process has little error depending on how much the sample increases.

In other words, in statistics, the variable called ‘luck’ is extremely insignificant.

But sometimes this is the case.

the first.

Making the impossible possible.

Simply put, 0 becomes 1.

Irregular outside of statistics whose causes cannot even be determined because there is no comparison sample itself.

click click click.

“This is an abnormal growth rate.”

“The manager is keeping an eye on the character.”

I suddenly had that thought.

The last words he left

when everyone agreed that it was a failure .

[I just judged rationally. Even if it’s only one person in my life, if I can complete it properly, there’s a better chance.] Maybe that was right
