What do you take us for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right, Raven is right. You’re worrying about strange things. We could also be in his situation someday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh, I don’t think it’s a good idea to say that…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Raven spoke to the bear-like man on my behalf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Mr. Urikfrit, can you please not say that?

And then I got to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, we’ve rested enough, so let’s go sightseeing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time to start exploring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_________________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting Island Laimia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The island you arrive at first, regardless of which path you choose on the 5th floor. But Laimia wasn’t called the Starting Island just because of its symbolism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had the basic materials needed for 6th-floor exploration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, at least in theory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s already been cleared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We looked around with disappointed eyes after climbing to the top of the mountain that was located in the center of the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, a special type of tree grew here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a tree with a hardness of 3rd-tier metal, and it was light and buoyant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, no matter how fast trees grow, they can’t grow back in just a month.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…all that greeted us when we reached the summit were thousands of stumps. Well, there were some trees that had grown to some extent…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Most of them are unusable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But there are some that are big enough. Let’s take these.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…so we took out the axes we brought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And we carefully selected and cut down the trees that were big enough to be processed into materials, storing them in our subspace pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did it take about 30 minutes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe we can get this much next month too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. If there’s no one here like this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phew, I wish the 6th floor was also reset every month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 1st to 5th floors were reset every month, no matter what you did, but it wasn’t the case from the 6th floor onwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flowed continuously here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like how the marks on that giant rock over there weren’t erased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, there’s something written on the rock! It looks like letters… what the hell does it say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Weren’t you going to the sanctuary every day to learn how to read?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, I gave up on that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed at Ainar’s carefree attitude and then approached the rock and read the letters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them were just nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So-and-so was here, please let me earn a lot of money, I really like you, so-and-so, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘People in this world are also the same when it comes to graffiti.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I chuckled and looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Towards the vast ocean below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although we couldn’t get many trees, I could see an island that wasn’t visible from below, perhaps because we were on a high ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, so that’s Parune Island.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Parune, the second island located north of the Starting Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also the place we were going to next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Avman, just in case, can you sense the portal’s location?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I can only sense the one on this island.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raven spoke up as I nodded, as if to defend the bear-like man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be too disappointed. It’s only natural since this floor is so vast. He said he would be able to sense it again once we get closer to the portal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geez, disappointed my ass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the first place, there wasn’t much a Guide could do on the 6th floor, unlike the lower floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially not at this early stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anyway, we’ve got everything we need, so let’s go down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I went back down to the shore with my companions after finishing our business at the summit. And I took out the boat I had prepared from my subspace pocket and launched it into the water. It was a boat we bought with the clan funds we collected as soon as we formed the clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although we used most of the funds…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I wouldn’t have been able to get it at this price if it weren’t for the current situation.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The timing was good in many ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We could use the trees we would obtain later to upgrade the boat or sell them as lumber and buy a better boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bjorn… th, this won’t sink, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geez, we even went fishing on a boat in Gnometree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘…Ah, the boat capsized back then.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, I already tested it in the city. It will be fine as long as you don’t move too much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bu, but… ugh! It’s, it’s shaking!! Is, is there something wrong with the boat?! It’s so different from back then!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That was a lake, and this is the sea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, the biggest problem was that this boat was twice as small as the one we rode back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, we all got on the boat after the commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let’s set sail!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…we diligently rowed and sailed against the waves, just like we practiced on land in the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because our boat didn’t have a sail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We wouldn’t have even been able to fit four people if we had bought one with a sail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And we didn’t have enough money to buy a bigger one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there’s a certain charm to being a newbie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I, I think the boat is going backwards…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just your imagination! Row harder!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One, two. One, two!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there were some trial and error since it was our first time rowing in real life, we quickly adapted, as expected of explorers who overcome adversity with sheer willpower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, the island is getting closer!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raven, as if the sailing content stimulated her emotions, reacted unusually even to small things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her excitement didn’t last long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘But it’s taking much longer than I thought…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t seem that far when we saw it from the summit, but the boat was moving at a snail’s pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, was it just me who felt that way?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t believe we’re encountering a hurdle this early after entering the 6th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bjo, Bjorn? What’s wrong?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sea… sick…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bjorn Yandel wasn’t made for the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_____________________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sea, seasick? Isn’t that something that happens when you ride a carriage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Misha asked worriedly, looking at me dying from seasickness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although I wanted to ask how she could even ask that question…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…it was only natural from her perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had spent her entire life inside the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like even Raven only knew about it from books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seasickness refers to dizziness caused by the discrepancy between your vision and your sense of balance. It doesn’t just happen when you ride a carriage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, I see…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Misha nodded, her voice clueless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come to think of it, I’ve also been feeling a bit nauseous…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Misha was better off, Ainar, a born barbarian warrior, was in a worse state than me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Move aside! Ugh!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ainar, forgetting about rowing, grabbed the railing and started vomiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kyaak!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“St, stop! Miss Ainar! You can’t move like that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boat rocked violently as she vomited fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was seriously worried that it might capsize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh, ugh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…St, stop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We couldn’t physically stop her since the boat was so small that there wasn’t even enough space to stand properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And four of us couldn’t swim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone except for Erwen and Misha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We were quite far from the island, so even if I used [Gigantification], my feet wouldn’t reach the ground like last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, wasn’t this a really dangerous situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Raven! Knock her out with magic!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I quickly assessed the situation and gave the order, realizing it wasn’t something we could just laugh off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seretara Bairon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh, ugh… huh…? Hmm…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Ainar hadn’t invested much in Magic Resistance yet, so she quietly lost consciousness after a single spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um, mister… I, I think I’m going to die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, me too. I need one too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My companions, unable to endure the storm that was Ainar, fell one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Mr. Urikfrit is unexpectedly fine—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Ugh, ueeeeek!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, uh… Mr. Yandel, are you okay—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, there’s no way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uwaaaaaaaaak!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard a sigh from behind as I was carefully holding onto the railing and vomiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Why isn’t there a single person who’s fine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, Raven wasn’t seasick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>____________________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The concept of the 6th floor was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To sail the vast ocean, pass through various islands, and reach the 7th floor. And because of that, a ‘navigator’ was essential from this floor onwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A specialized professional who navigated the ship, recorded the course, and even absorbed essences that were helpful for sailing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Well, there’s no need to rush since there will be many applicants if we just have a proper ship.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I got off the bow and dragged the boat to the shore with my hands. And I put it in my subspace pocket so that I wouldn’t lose it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a method I could only use while sailing a small boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, we would need a bigger boat to cross the Windless Zone, the Frozen Sea, and other treacherous seas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘And in the first place, that’s why clans are recommended from the 6th floor onwards.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since boats were so expensive, it was a burden for teams to explore the 6th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phew, it’s land! Land!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We arrived at Parune Island, looking half-dead, as the sun began to set in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We had a simple meal and then immediately started preparing for camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the sunset can look like that…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really. I thought for the first time today that it was a good thing I became an explorer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My companions, who had only ever seen the sun disappear beyond the walls, felt a sense of awe as they watched the sunset over the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, I felt the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really felt like we were on an island on Earth, just by being on this sandy beach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, I had never actually been to an island like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Why didn’t I come sooner…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I regretted my past self, who was always cooped up in his room, playing games. Back then, I was living in a much wider world without walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ainar, you go to sleep first. I’ll wake you up last.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is, is that okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You suffered the most…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Misha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We decided that Ainar, who had suffered from seasickness, would be the last one to keep watch, and then we decided on the order for the rest of us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We don’t have to do it in pairs. I heard only monsters below 8th grade appear on this island.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, okay. Let’s take turns, and wake each other up if something happens.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um, but if we’re doing that, wouldn’t it have been better to sleep on the previous island? It seemed like there were no monsters there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We didn’t know we would arrive this late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s… true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We just spread out our sleeping bags on the sand and lay down since the weather was nice. Although we brought tents since it rained sometimes from here onwards…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s pretty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…we unanimously decided to sleep under the stars after seeing the Milky Way spread out across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…My wife would have liked this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, you’re talking like she’s dead. Are you going to tell her that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Wh, what are you talking about? I, I meant it’s a shame that she quit being an explorer! That’s what I meant!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop chattering and go to sleep. We’ll explore the island as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be because it was our first night on the 6th floor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My companions fell asleep after a long time, as if they were feeling sentimental.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the next morning…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re going to walk along the coastline and look around before entering the island.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…we woke up early, packed up our campsite, and walked around the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t any particular reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just wanted to see it with my own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much the size differed between the game and reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘The island is much bigger than I expected.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s when, as we were halfway around the island…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, Bjorn! There’s a boat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…we found a boat anchored at the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it wasn’t a large galleon, it was at least three times bigger than ours, and it had everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is enough to cross the Windless Zone and even the Frozen Sea. Ah, of course, it’s bound to its owner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, so we can’t take it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ainar tilted her head with an innocent look at Raven’s explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at that moment…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, barbarian. What are you doing in front of our boat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…the boat’s owner appeared from inside the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, aren’t you that barbarian from before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s been a while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a familiar face.\u003C\u002Fp>",2214,"2026-06-05T19:32:49.064Z",1,"novelbin.me","da445b9bf35f697ed01884cc19a3cc908cbc77c67073ce3634434a9ffaf2318b","surviving-the-game-as-a-barbarian-chapter-16","surviving-the-game-as-a-barbarian-chapter-15",807,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-game-as-a-barbarian-cover.jpg"]
