Chapter 1

Surviving as a barbarian in the game ⓒJung Yun-gang

I couldn’t beat it even with the D version, so break this in real life?

Maybe I will have to live here for the rest of my life.

Well, even that won’t be easy.

Chapter 1

I liked games from a young age.

The reason was simple.

Since I was only in the hospital, the only thing I naturally had to do was play, and as time passed, games became a part of my life.

However, if you do anything for a long time, you will get tired of it.

“Oh shit… AI judgement true story? Why do you heal him there?”

At some point, no matter what game I played, it wasn’t as enjoyable as before.

It was not a matter of genre, such as AOS RPG or FPS.

The games that came out every year were all garbage. The story and worldview were similar as if they were stuck in a plate, and the system lacked depth.

I wanted a game with something a little more special.

In the meantime, I found [Dungeon and Stone].

Tadadat. click click.

The genre is single RPG.

It was an overseas indie game.

There was no Korean language support, and it used 2D pixel graphics, which is rare these days.

To be honest, it was far from my taste.

Still, since it was free, I installed the game with the intention of giving it a try, and soon I fell in love with the game.

“Wow, I almost died when all the priests came.”

It was a unique game in many ways.

When a character died, it had to be raised from the beginning.

NPC companions were essential for the game to progress, and the degree of freedom was extremely high as it was a vertical scrolling game.

The skill system and world view were also attractive, and the story was interesting even though I read it in English.

Crucially, there was an unknown specialness to this game.

Tada dadada tadadadak.

At the time, as a social worker who had just been assigned to the subway, I began digging into [Dungeon and Stone] in earnest.

It wasn’t easy.

Combat in this game was not simply about HP/MP.

Even in Pulpi, if you make a mistake in judgment, the character you have worked hard to develop for three months will disappear.

“Let’s go…”

I couldn’t even get to the middle of the game for over two years, so I threw away my pride and searched for a strategy.

It was not even searchable on the Korean portal, so I had to translate and read it in English, but even that was not very meaningful.

There were not many users abroad, so there were few related articles and they had no nutritional value.

My side, who had been seriously exploring this game by bumping into it for 2 years, was much more understanding than those who called it Mangem after playing it for a month or two.

So I stopped looking for a strategy.

“Three up, four left, down, two left, then six up, four right. At the end, avoid the trap… Okay.”

Wasn’t this what I finally found while searching for a game I could enjoy anyway? I decided to try it on my own, no matter how long it took.

And…

“Whoa.”

That’s how we got to now.

「Gate of the Abyss」

Right now, my character is standing in front of the portal leading to the final boss room.

Of course, seeing the ending will be after coming here a few more times. It’s not a game where you can defeat the boss with just one try.

Even so, I can feel how tense I am right now from the rigid fingertips.

“It’s the final boss……”

It might not be anything to someone.

But it took 9 years to get here.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that they were together in their 20s.

The day I went back to school after a long time and applied for reinstatement, the day I received an acceptance letter from the job I wanted after graduation.

I have always played [Dungeons and Stones].

[Do you want to enter?] As you

approach the portal by manipulating your character, you will be asked if you would like to enter.

Of course I clicked YES.

However, because it is the final boss room, a message that seems to contain something is displayed once more.

“You may not be able to come back.” “Do you really

want

to enter?”

So why don’t you come in here?

「Yes / No」

When you click Yes, the screen goes to the loading window.

Looking at the blackened monitor, I raised my concentration.

How many patterns will this guy have? properties? Of course you have an instant kill. Well, let’s stop thinking about succeeding in the first try and gather as much information as possible. Maybe it’s because I don’t know if I have to change the breeding method or combination.

My brain, stimulated by excitement and anticipation, had only thoughts about the final boss.

So it was too late to notice.

“You have reached the abyss.”

“Tutorial complete.”

Tutorial complete?

No, more than that, why does Korean come out? Wasn’t [Dungeon and Stone] only supported in English?

[Starting transmission.]

A bright light burst out as soon as I sensed a sense of incongruity.

The light was so intense that one would not even think that the source was a monitor.

“Evil fuck! My eyes!”

In an instant, everything turns white.

Tinnitus in the ears and unknown heat in the skin. My mind went blank as if I had been injected with an anesthetic. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I was confident in my ability to deal with crises, but at this moment I had no idea what was going on.

Flash-!

Feeling the light grow stronger, I passed out.

And when I open my eyes again

I was a barbarian in the game.
