Dialogue Transcript Surviving The Game as a Barbarian — Chapter 3 153
I AM AN EXPERT WHEN IT COMES TO DUNGEON AND STONE.
AND I CAME TO THIS CONCLUSION BASED ON MY EXPERTISE.
WITH THE STRONG PHYSICALITY OF THE BARBARIAN...
...COMBINED WITH MY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE GAME...
I HAVE MORE THAN WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE.
OR SO I THOUGHT.
D*** IT.
I CAN'T SEE A THING HERE!
THIS IS WEIRD. I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE THAT ENTERED THE LABYRINTH WITH NOTHING BUT ONE ITEM!
ACCORDING TO MY KNOWLEDGE...
play level body: menta abili item l Compr : 225
o cockatrice! did 7 damage! nce off, the
back to cockatrice.
...THE CRYSTALS ON THE WALLS OF THE LABYRINTH ON THE FIRST FLOOR PROVIDE A SOURCE OF LIGHT.
THAT IS WHY I DIDN'T REALLY NEED A TORCH IN THE BEGINNING.
HOLD ON A SECOND. COULD THIS BE...
A DARK AREA...?!
THE OUTERMOST AND A VERY FEW OTHER SECTIONS ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE LABYRINTH ARE COMPLETELY DEVOID OF LIGHT AND COVERED BY SHADOWS.
BUT THESE AREAS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ANYONE'S STARTING PLACE IN THE LABYRINTH!
...BUT THIS IS NOT A GAME. THERE CAN BE EXCEPTIONS.
MAYBE THE STARTING SPOT IS DETERMINED COMPLETELY RANDOMLY HERE, UNLIKE IN THE GAME. I CAN'T RULE OUT ANY POSSIBILITIES.
FIRST THINGS FIRST.
STATUS WINDOW.
EQUIPMENT WINDOW.
CHARACTER INFORMATION. STATS.
INVENTORY?
SKILLS?
JOURNAL?
NOTHING'S WORKING.
ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS.
I CAN'T GET ANYWHERE BY JUST STANDING STILL,
SO I SHOULD TRY TO ADVANCE IN ONE DIRECTION.
AM I ADVANCING TOO SLOWLY?
I THINK IT MAY BE FASTER TO CRAWL ON THE GROUND...
...A...
A A A A H H H H ! !
A GOBLIN TRAP?!
PANT PANT
YOUR CHARACTER STEPPED ON A GOBLIN TRAP.
ARGH...
UGH...
AH...
I-I MUST KEEP IT DOWN.
I MUST NOT RAISE MY VOICE...!
AMONG THE MONSTERS ON THE FIRST FLOOR, ONLY GOBLINS USE TRAPS.
PANT PANT
PANT
CHANCES ARE, THERE'S PROBABLY A GOBLIN NEARBY WATCHING FROM SOMEWHERE!
... MAYBE I'M WRONG.
PERHAPS I GOT LUCKY,
AND STEPPED ON IT JUST WHEN THE GOBLIN WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE--
SCREW THAT. I'M NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES.
IF I CAN'T BE CERTAIN OF SOMETHING, I MUST TAKE THE WORST CASE SCENARIO INTO ACCOUNT!
IF THERE IS A GOBLIN TRAP, THERE HAS TO BE A GOBLIN AROUND.
THE GOBLIN MUST HAVE HEARD MY CRY...
...PROBABLY SAW THE INJURED PREY...
UGH...
...AND IS PATIENTLY WAITING UNTIL I LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS FROM THE PAIN.
THAT IS WHY I'M UNABLE TO HEAR A THING.
THIS IS HOW MY THOUGHT PROCESS SHOULD BE HERE.
I KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO FIRST HERE.
THE TRAP HAS PARALYSIS POISON ON IT.
STINKING BARBARIANS, IF ONLY THEY HANDED OUT LEATHER BOOTS INSTEAD OF THESE SANDALS!
FOR F***'S SAKE, NOW ISN'T THE TIME TO WHINE!
I MUST GET TO WORK, AND QUICKLY!
A FIGHT IS INEVITABLE. IN THAT CASE, IT'D BE BEST FOR ME TO STRIKE FIRST!
SHOW YOURSELF.
I THINK THE POISON IS SPREADING.
MY RIGHT FOOT IS COMPLETELY NUMB RIGHT NOW.
I KNOW YOU'RE HIDING SOMEWHERE. COME ON.
I CAN'T EVEN FEEL THE PAIN BECAUSE MY FOOT IS PARALYZED.
I'M NOT SURE IF I'M SUPPOSED TO FEEL RELIEVED ABOUT IT, BUT...
ARGH, JUST WHY THE HELL ISN'T THIS FOOL RESPONDING?!
SHOW YOURSELF ALREADY, YOU LITTLE SCUMBAG!
OR, I COULD JUST BE IMAGINING ALL THIS IN MY HEAD.
MAYBE THE GOBLIN IS NOT HIDING AND WATCHING ME FROM SOMEWHERE.
BUT EVEN IF IT WOULD MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL...
FINE. KEEP STAYING THERE, BECAUSE I INTEND TO LEAVE.
...I'D RATHER BE A LIVING FOOL THAN A DEAD SCHOLAR!
YOUR MOM'S A GOBLIN.
YOUR DAD'S A GOBLIN.
THIS IS NOT GOOD. THE BLEEDING WON'T STOP.
YOUR SISTER'S A GOBLIN.
I'M SO DIZZY. IS THIS HOW IT FEELS IF I LOSE TOO MUCH BLOOD?
IT'S AS IF I GOT WASTED ON ALCOHOL.
SO, YOU'RE A GOBLIN AS WELL--
A FOOTSTEP!
IT HAS TO BE THE GOBLIN!
HA! I DIDN'T KNOW GOBLINS CARED SO MUCH ABOUT THEIR FAMILY TOO!
I HEARD THE SOUND FROM BEHIND ME.
IT MUST HAVE FOLLOWED ME BECAUSE I WAS MOVING OUT OF ITS SIGHT.
BUT NOTHING HAS REALLY CHANGED, BECAUSE I STILL CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.
PERHAPS I SHOULD PRETEND TO RUN AWAY.
THE BEAST FOLLOWS ME WHILE MAINTAINING A CERTAIN DISTANCE, AND STOPS WHENEVER I STOP MOVING.
IT PROBABLY IS ENJOYING THE SIGHT OF ITS PREY SUFFERING...
...AND IS WAITING PATIENTLY FOR ME TO DIE, TREMBLING IN FEAR FROM THE SOUND.
CLEVER BASTARD. IT'S NOT EVEN TRYING TO BE DISCREET ANYMORE.
FINE BY ME. CHANGE OF PLANS!
URGH!
OUCH...
THERE. YOUR PREY FELL DOWN LIKE YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
?
GRRR...
COME ON, NOW'S YOUR CHANCE!
GRRR...?
ARE YOU SERIOUSLY THROWING A ROCK...
TO SEE IF I'M REALLY DEAD?!
WERE GOBLINS ALWAYS THIS SMART?
I FEEL LIKE THEY'RE SMARTER THAN BARBARIANS.
GRR. GRRRR.
GRRR.
GRR.
GRRR.
?!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU!
YOU BASTARD...!
GRRR...!
I-I MISSED!
WHAT?
MY HANDS ARE MOVING AGAINST MY WILL!
GRRRR!!
I CAN FEEL AND PREDICT THE GOBLIN'S MOVEMENT ACCURATELY.
I AM SUPERIOR!!
I'M NO LONGER IN THE BODY OF SOMEONE THAT SPENT MOST OF HIS LIFE HOSPITALIZED!
AND YOU'RE A PIPSQUEAK!!
I'M IN THE BODY OF A BARBARIAN WARRIOR!

YOU HAVE DEFEATED A GOBLIN. YOU HAVE GAINED 1 EXP POINTS.
THE BODY IS DISAPPEARING...
...JUST LIKE IN THE GAME.
THIS IS...
THIS IS THE CURRENCY USED IN THE DUNGEON AND STONE UNIVERSE.
TIER 9 MANA STONE.
IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, I CAN BUY...
...ONE PIECE OF BREAD...
...WITH THIS.
ALL THAT F***ERY, JUST TO GET THIS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
I AM IN THE WORLD...
...IN WHICH THE LABYRINTH EXISTS AND MONSTERS DWELL.
THE DEAD MONSTERS RETURN TO DUST AFTER DROPPING LOOT.
DIFFERENT RACES OF THE FANTASY WORLD COEXIST IN THE ENVIRONMENT THAT I'M SO ACCUSTOMED TO SEEING IN THE GAME, OUTSIDE OF THE LABYRINTH.
THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT I AM INSIDE THE GAME UNIVERSE.
HOWEVER...
...I'M NEVER GOING TO GET IT CONFUSED AND THINK THIS IS ONLY A GAME.
