## Debut

**Bjorn, son of Yandel**(비요른 얀델) is the main character of Surviving the Game as a Barbarian series.

Hansu Lee, a 29-year-old office worker, is suddenly transmigrated in his favorite game Dungeon & Stone. He finds himself in the body of Bjorn, son of Yandel, a barbarian.

## APPEARANCE

### Hansu Lee

Hansu Lee is a south-korean man. He is 5'7" with an average weight and soft skin.

### Bjorn Yandel

After being transmigrated in the body of Bjorn, son of Yandel, Hansu Lee becomes a barbarian with the broad-shouldered body of a warrior covered in boulder-like muscles and a height reaching 6'5". Like every warrior of the barbarian tribe, tatoos are imprinted on his upper-body.

Bjorn enters the labyrinth with the bare minimum, a pair of sandals, a piece of cloth covering his waist and the shield he obtained from his Coming-of-Age ceremony. He eventually loses one of his sandals because of the goblin's trap. He acquires a few pieces of equipment (a pair of boots, etc.) after his confrontation with Hans A.

During his second exploration, a noticeable change can be seen in his outfit. Bjorn starts to wear an helmet with a candle on the front and a breastplate to cover his upper body, he calls it the *"barbarian candle mode"*.

## PERSONALITY

One, there is a difference between being positive and being idealistic.
Two, what I need right now is a negative mindset.
If you cannot be sure, assume the worst.

With a methodical mind and a knowledge second to none on Dungeon & Stone, Hansu Lee could have been the most adequate person to chalenge the labyrinth if it weren't for his terrible fortune. Far from being discouraged by his fate, Hansu Lee makes his best efforts to overcome every life and death situation he encounters. However, when being confronted to his new and ruthless reality, he starts to notice slow changes in his way of thinking: a propensity to make risky decisions with his life on the line, standing up for himself against powerful people are the types of thing the office-worker Hansu Lee wouldn't have done before.

* *Essence color: Red*

Essence exchanged with the Vampire essence thanks to Restrained Wish in the Room of Balance.

Given the difficulty to catch a rank 3 monster, the essence was not included in Bjorn's final planned composition for more of a practical reason than an incompatibility issue. Additionally, the probability to obtain the color essence corresponding the wanted active skill between seven active skills in total was another hardship. Besides, In terms of defense alone, the rank 4 Steel Giant was more efficient than Ogre.

#### **Manticore** (만티코어)

* **Flesh Burst** [ **Transcendence** (A) ] - TBA

* (P) **Evolving Shell**

The passive skill applies a different effect when Physical Resistance reach 70, 350, 750, and 1,500.

* **1st Stage** (70) - [Your Physical Resistance statistic is over 70. A 50% resistance is given against sword-type weapons only.]

Also known as *Sword Invulnerability* and the reason why this essence is used to counter auras. An aura is classified as sword-type unconditionally and with this skill, the crazy performance of 90% is reduced to 45%.

* **2nd Stage** (350) - Penetration damage is reduced by half.
* **3rd Stage** (750) - ???

With one more essence, Bjorn could release stage 3 in a fully doped state

* **4th Stage** (1 500) - ???

Stage 4 is detrimental to the mind because most magnifying buffs comes with limits. As example, the Orc Sorcerer's Frenzy, which triples Physical Resistance for ten seconds, doesn't rise above 300.

#### **Gachabon** (가챠본)

* *Rank 6 essence*

Essence with a physical transformative effect similar to the Bone Knight Essence. Bjorn's height is reduced, reaching around 6 feet. By modern beauty standards, Bjorn could be considered handsome thanks to his physical change.

* (P) **Probabilistic Retaliation**
	+ [The luck dwelling in the character has blocked the damage. Ordinary luck reflects 15% (10% without **Transcendence**) of the damage received back to the enemy.]
	+ [Powerful luck reflects 150% (100% without **Transcendence**) of the damage received back to the enemy.]

When receiving damage using resources, the damage is ignored and reflected by a certain probability. Whether that is magic, divine power, or spirits, this passive skill applies to anything that used a resource. The figure is based on Bjorn's reduced Luck stat.

The probability of Probabilistic Retaliation working lay more or less at 10%. This probability doesn't go up with [Transcendence] because the 1.5x increase in performance is applied to reflective damage. When Probabilistic Retaliation activates, a transparent veil sprouts over the damage area as if to protect Bjorn and a summoned skeleton appears and imitates the attacker's technique.

* In case of *Powerful Luck*, the summoned skeleton produces a "Gahhcha!" roar.
* In case of *Ordinary Luck*, the summoned skeleton doesn't produce a unique soud.

* (A) **Liability of Risk**
	+ [ **Transcendence** (A) ] - [In exchange for the loss of the damage immunity effect of Probabilistic Retaliation, activation odds are fixed at 100%.]

While being cast, the amount of damage received is doubled but the amount of damage reflected through **Probabilistic Retaliation** is also increased. Since the damage amount Bjorn receives is doubled, in effect He is able to return four times the normal reflex damage.

#### **Deep Sea Giant** (심해 거인)

* *Rank 3 essence*
* *Essence color: Green*

Essence acquired in Atlante.

**Deep Sea Giant** is the second core essence of Bjorn's final composition.

It is a MP recovery skill which doesn't consume MP while it is active. The skill has a cooldown time of thrity minutes.

* (P) **Primordial Cell** - [You have used a transformation-type ability. Due to the Primordial Cell effect, Soul Power consumed by the skill is reduced by half, and the highest stat is increased 1.5 times.]
	+ [ **Transcendence**] - [Due to the power and authority of a transcendental being, the effect of Primordial Cell is increased 1.5 times. Your Strength is increased 2.25 times.]

The Deep Sea Giant's passive skill only reacts to transformation-type abilities.
