Chapter 61 – Roar to Live

The laughing sound of the mocking dungeon app that I can almost hear in my ears.

“Under…”

Therefore.

Haha,haha!”

I laughed too.
Oh, I didn’t laugh because I really liked it.

“Fuck you!!!”

For the first time in my life, even on a street where people come and go, whether I was drunk or not…… I could understand the feelings of the cubs who couldn’t overcome their anger and screamed evil.
No, more blatantly than that.
I can understand the ‘5 stages of anger’, a theory in the field of end-of-life research related to death, which is commonly mentioned by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross.

Step 1, Denial.

“Look at me now and ask me to really do it? Is this an April Fool’s joke?”

Stage 2, Anger.

“Fuck you bastard!!! Just say you want to kill if you want to kill! You’ve enjoyed it so far, now follow…… Say it yourself!!! Whoops, whoops…….”

Step 3, Bargaining.

“…… I don’t think you really want to kill me. You too have something in moderation. Do you see that in moderation in your eyes? Shouldn’t the viewer also have a taste for seeing it?”

Stage 4, Depression.

“Damn it, bitch…… Black.”

Last step 5.
Acceptance.

[Time remaining until the dungeon collapses – 5 hours 54 minutes 45 seconds]

“Whoa…….”

Feeling all the countless emotions in just 5 minutes, I realized that my argument was not going to work for the dungeon app, and decided to accept it.

It’s not because I’m a brilliant person, or because I’m actually a cold person.
A really very pure reason.

The desire for survival, the instinct for survival!
A change that happened naturally because you have no choice but to do this in order to live!

[Survival instinct calms your mind a little more.]

“I wondered what kind of help a skill like this would be, but even dog poop is useful.”

Whoa, he sighed and wiped his face.
It’s a really weird situation.
My body is very tense, my heart is still beating like crazy in fear, but my head is in an unexpectedly calm state.
However, this condition was by no means normal.

“Let’s think, let’s think…… Think.”

No matter how retarded I am, it’s something I would never normally do.
As if I were a character in a cartoon called Jimmy Neuron that I saw when I was young, I repeat myself thinking with my chin resting on my chin.
I had to force myself to roll my head like this.
Or it’s not a good idea.

—Kiruk, Kiruk!
-Kei….

Unlike before, this time it is a transparent door.
And through that transparent door, I was able to see the state of the goblins.

Was it simply because he wanted me to lose my fighting spirit before even engaging in a fight?

“No, it doesn’t feel like that. No no. It could have been.”

However, if I had to tell you how I felt.
It’s okay to lose your will to fight, it’s okay to burn your will to fight instead. I felt the curiosity to see my pure reaction.

“Whoa, think about it.”

I murmured again as if incantation, fiddling with the transparent door and looking over there.

[First Dungeon]
[Clear condition: Kill all players]
[Monster: Goblin 1 Squad (25)]
[Reward: 10 Bronze Coins, 3 Silver Coins, 1 Gold Coin, 1 Platinum Coin]

The clear condition itself is simple.
Kill power.
In the end, it was clear that I could only survive if I killed all the cubs over there.

The total number of goblins I had to end with my own hands was 25.
1 squad.

And in the midst of this, a little dissatisfaction that the reward is too salty. However, it seemed that he knew a little about the intention of the dungeon app.
Dungeons don’t open like that every day.
Instead, quests and achievements that gave rewards in daily life tended to come out from time to time.

The Dungeon app clearly told me.

[Perform quests and achievements to clear the dungeon.]

…… Called.

In other words, clearing the dungeon itself is just an extension of the authority to continue using the dungeon app.
The real reward is to keep using the dungeon app and get coins by clearing quests and achievements that suit your job in everyday life.

‘If you want to continue enjoying your current rights, clear the dungeon. Also, in order to clear the dungeon, you must carry out the quest with sincerity.’

I shook my head slightly.

“The important information right now is not like this. An operation solely to kill goblins.”

If this were a real game…….

[♥♥♥]

Given three lives.
He may have sacrificed one of them to check the exact history of the other party.
However…….

‘Kiiiiik!’

Whoop, whoop, whoop!

“…….”

I have experience dying.
Just thinking about it, as if to prove that it’s never a lie.

“Oops, oops…….”

I feel sick to my stomach, and cold sweat is already running down my back.
It’s no joke.
It’s not a game.
This is a real sword fight, risking my own life, not someone else’s life!

“I can’t give up my life that easily. All I have to do is, every time… A thorough mindset that will never die.”

Just because you are given three lives, you don’t have to use them all.
I didn’t want to die.
I didn’t want to be torn apart, ridiculed, or hacked up by those evil-looking goblins.

“Sir, real bullying is nothing compared to dying.”

It is said that school violence eventually leads to the death of the bullied being, but if he tried to commit suicide and felt clearly what ‘death’ was, if he came back alive and well by luck, he would definitely rather than try to commit suicide again. You will choose to kill your opponent.

How do you know?

“Because that’s how I feel right now!”

The need to live, even if all the mouths of those fucking goblins were ripped out, is bubbling from the bottom of the water.
Could never die
Never!!!

“Whoa, whoa……”

I took a small breath and looked at the goblins with slightly bloodshot eyes.
If you look closely, they all have different personalities.
It feels as if it is not artificially created.

In other words, it feels alive.

Some have some muscle, some are big for a goblin, and some are smaller than the inexperienced goblins I’ve seen.
Some of them are blind, some are missing fingers, and some are limping.

“Really…… As if the living goblins formed a squad to survive again…….”

Burr.
Widely!
I tried to hold onto my trembling arms and calmly analyzed the situation.

Let’s think soberly.

“Goblins themselves are weaker than humans.”

When I first entered the dungeon, I was definitely given a dagger for the tutorial.
Before stabbing him in the heart with it, I grabbed him by the back of his neck with one hand and even lifted him up.

Body smaller than humans.
Average height is 130 cm, so they are small in weight.

“Besides, not everyone is carrying a weapon.”

Some are holding arrows, while others are holding worn-out one-handed swords like me.
That’s right, five or six of them are holding weapons.

The rest are just wearing rags that can be called rags on their bare hands. Even among those who carry weapons, there are very few that are considered armor.
Probably the ‘squad leader’ who commands the guys with the best equipment.

As long as you know the truth, you will be undefeated in a hundred battles.

It was the first time since I was born that I really tried so desperately to accomplish something.
They say that when a human really pushes himself to the limit, he uses every part of his brain. I thought that even a nerd like me could do something like this.

“Comparatively, I’m clunky, but I have better equipment than they do.”

If you look at it, the ability itself should be better than those guys.
No matter how much muscle I have, no matter how much equipment I have.
Even the biggest one was at most 150 cm tall, and he had a small body that showed a little bit of bone.
Anyway…… Goblin.

“Even if I struggle with that bastard, I will win in the end.”

The problem is the numbers.

“Dagul…….”

I honestly thought that if we fought as individuals in a tournament style, we could win more comfortably than we thought.

My current strength is 21 with the blessing of sex added at 18.
Stamina 16.

This was by no means a small number.
Enough strength, enough stamina.

Needless to say, agility.
In all areas, I have many times better physical strength than Goblins. But at the same time, I only have two eyes, and I only have two arms.

“The fact that I fought 17 to 1 before was actually difficult to see as Dagul.”

Not too long ago, I saw a video of a real bullying.
Even skilled fighters, even professional bodyguards, couldn’t even resist properly when their opponents made up their minds and rushed around.

“If you get surrounded and your legs stop, that’s it.”

A sober judgment was required.
In case there is a calm judgment that can make the right decision without being shaken even in a moment of crisis…….

“If I hypnotize you again.”

If you hypnotize me to be cool, this situation, to be honest.
It may be easier to solve than you think.
However, as I felt before, hypnosis was a power accompanied by ‘sleep induction’. After the fight is over, sparse memories remain, but the full experience and realization do not remain.

“Eating raw like that is once or twice.”

If the dungeon wants to feed me candy like this in the future, I must never eat it raw through ‘hypnosis’.
It will end up killing me.

However, the mana consumed by ‘that skill’ is 5.
My magic power is 8.
I still have 3 magic power left.

Then there was no need not to use ‘hypnosis’. Instead, I had to think in which direction I should use hypnosis.

“Ugh, fuck…… Head hurts.”

I’m not going to lie, I think I know what it’s like to feel like your head is steaming from thinking too much.
There is a pounding sound in the real brain, and a fever rises.

“Huh, the direction of hypnosis that I have to walk is an increase in my ability level.”

Sometimes in comics or dramas, there are stronger villains who get hypnotized by the same villain and become.
I had to use it that way.
So-called hypnotic doping!

“Among them, I definitely need to strengthen my necessary abilities.”

Strength?
Each time the slot is rotated, the power drawn 100 percent is more than enough. Rather, it was not even necessary.
Although it was a crude one-handed sword, it was enough to kill a goblin.
So…….

“I am a patient man, a patient man. A man who never gives up until the very end…… A man who can endure.”

[Teeling!]
[Consumes 3 magic power to use hypnosis.]
[Stamina increases by 3 additionally through self-suggestion.]

“Whoa…… Whoa….”

Feeling a little more vitality going around the body.
Health.
Defense and Stamina.

A stat that would allow me to engage in long-term battles despite having the offensive power to kill a goblin anyway.
All I needed now was stamina.

“If only I had known this…… I will work a little harder.”

Whoops!

I clenched my teeth while clenching both the round shield and the short sword.

‘I’ve done enough to be honest with this.’
‘Honestly, if it was now, I’d be able to buy 5 goblins too?’

“Damn it.”

I definitely realized this time.
The reason why the world doesn’t always go my way.

The world is never easy enough to get what I want even while acting like a child.

“I should have gritted my teeth and worked harder, even for one second, rather than being complacent.”

Crunchy!

“Thank you. Please let me know once again that I am an asshole.”

It’s time to fight.

[Enter the dungeon.]

“Kiik, kuung!”

I was wondering how to open the door as I was holding a round shield and a short sword.
As soon as I made up my mind to enter the dungeon, it opened automatically.

“…….”
—…….

And me and the goblin finally made eye contact.

—…… !

Scary to see me, the goblins gave off a strong life force and widened their eyes.
And…… Roared.

─Kyaaaaa

It was a roar that expressed their will to survive even if they killed me.
And me too…….

[Survival instinct stimulates your survival desire.]

“Right…”
─Keeeee!
“Whoa…”

The desire to live from the start, adrenaline starts to boil.
I think I know now.
Why did the generals yell at their vocal chords to tear and comfort the soldiers on the battlefield, and why ‘morale’ was so important on the battlefield?

“Uuuuu!!!!!”

It was a roar to live for oneself.
