Debut or Die - Chapter 1

If you can’t debut, you’ll get sick to death Episode 001

When you open your eyes, isn’t it a national rule that if it’s an unfamiliar ceiling, it’s a different world?

I wasn’t I woke up in a musty motel room.

“Ugh… … .”

It felt like my head would break. I grabbed my forehead and raised myself up. A musty blanket fell under my feet.

therefore… … Let’s see, I think I fell asleep while drinking alone after confirming that I failed the test again.

You mean you crawled from my studio to the motel?

“Are you crazy… .”

I cursed myself and went into the bathroom. I thought I’d drain the water and check it out now. If you don’t see it, you’ll be a drunken public servant.

And when I looked in the mirror, I fell over.

“Ugh! … … X feet.”

I clenched my teeth because I couldn’t believe the situation even though I reflexively spat out curse words.

I brushed my hair with trembling hands. And I looked in the mirror again.

I still saw a strange face in the mirror.

She is a skinny, elegant little girl.

… I caught my breath so as not to panic. I was desperate for the cigarette I had already quit.

“… her.”

Only then did I realize that even the voice was unfamiliar.

I feel like biting my tongue.

What kind of situation is this?

Barely awake, I searched the motel room with an unfamiliar body.

I found a note that looked like a suicide note and an empty medicine bottle on the bed. It seems that this guy tried to commit suicide by drinking sleeping pills.

When I read the contents of the suicide note, it was said that he dropped out of the orphanage, but it was unfair and helpless to leave this world.

I just had a bad mouth. Even if your body changes, why are you an orphan again?

I also found a wallet lying on a cheap dressing table. After digging around, I found several banknotes and my resident registration card.

[Park Moon-dae 0X1215 – 3XXXXXX]

“The back seat is 3… .”

It’s a rejuvenation. I looked at the photo of my resident registration card with a lethargic sound. It was better than the look I saw in the mirror earlier, but my face was dark.

Still, despite the dark impression, he had a decent face and a baby face. Are you 23 years old now? I thought you were younger

“… … .”

No, now is not the time to think like this.

I tried to think calmly.

Anyway, I calmed down while I roughly figured out the situation. Gradually, I feel the need to find the whereabouts of my original body and come up with a countermeasure. This guy who attempted suicide might have entered my body.

I grabbed my wallet and opened the motel door.

and hardened

Snow was blowing from the front window.

… It was July before I started drinking.

“oh my god.”

I gulped. Then, he hurried back into the motel room and picked up the desk calendar.

[202X December]

… This is the calendar from 3 years ago.

My eyesight became dizzy.

It didn’t take long to calm down again. It’s because the body change was more shocking than coming to the past.

I sat down on the bed and sighed. I don’t even remember lottery numbers, so why bother?

Then I raised my head at the flashing nonsense.

… In fact, it could be a different world, not the past.

It was a crazy idea, but it sounded convincing because I was overwhelmed by the crazy circumstances.

It seems that this kind of thing came out quite often in webtoons or web novels that I sometimes looked for. Did you call it Hunter water… ?

I murmured softly in a puzzled tone. It would have seemed quite insufficient to assure.

“Status window… ?”

Of course, nothing happened.

shit.

I banged my hand on the bed in shame.

There’s no way I’m going to float, you stupid… … .

fell off the bed

“Ugh!”

I thought about it even though I was moaning from the pain in my back.

The contents of the status window… Wasn’t that what you expected?

* * *

“… … .”

By opening the status window, I was able to calm down as much as I wanted.

It’s definitely a situation that ignores the laws of physics, so it’s because I can feel that this isn’t a joke.

Now I’m out of the motel and into a nearby PC room. It is to find out if there are other variables other than the fact that this world was 3 years ago.

For your information, I asked the counter to call my number, but it said that the number was not available.

I couldn’t log in to my university account, and the social media accounts I created for assignments also disappeared.

In other words, it seems that there is no original ‘me’ in this world.

It’s not like there’s any big regret.

My parents had already died in an accident when I was in middle school, and I lost contact with all of my relatives by the time I entered college.

It wasn’t that he didn’t have any good personal connections, and the human relationships he did have all disappeared as his public life became longer.

In addition, considering the time spent as a public official, it means that there is nothing strange about the body even if it is virtually lost.

“The ham ramen you ordered.”

“Oh, thank you.”

I calmly evaluated myself and received the tray. And slurping ramen in my mouth, I checked the search engine.

Well, 3 years ago, it was time for me to say ‘full-scale study’ for a long time.

These pages don’t feel very familiar because it was a time when I canceled my smartphone and disconnected the Internet.

However, I didn’t feel any discomfort.

It feels like just 3 years ago. Things that were in vogue at the time stand out. game movie song… Idol.

being an idol

“hmm.”

He placed his chopsticks on the finished ramen bowl. And I crossed my arms

No matter how you look at the contents of the status window, it was idol-specific.

I don’t know why I entered this body, but could it have something to do with the contents of the status window?

Is this body’s original owner ‘Park Moon-dae’ wishing for an idol?

… … Or because of my college days?

I don’t know. But you should use what is available.

“Status window.”

As I muttered softly, almost only with the sound of my breath, another translucent status window popped up in my field of vision.

Gachang is a C grade, and his appearance is also a C grade. the rest is blank

Is it because you haven’t tried it?

The thought suddenly came to my mind, but I decided to put it off. In this situation, there was no way I wanted to dance and show off my talent right now.

Then, let’s check the other contents of the status window.

I remembered the karaoke sign I saw while entering the PC room.

* * *

“Oh.”

First of all, from the confirmation result, it seems that the C grade is not a low grade.

I could sing very well. First of all, the tone was good and the performance was good. His vocalization was also clear, so it should be said that he felt that his basic skills were good. I was sure I had a talent.

And what is even more surprising than that is that this window has popped up.

[Achievement achieved! 〈First Attempt〉]

Level 0 – > 1

1 Points obtained!

“Achievements?”

I just asked myself, but another window popped up.

[Achievements in progress]

10 attempts (0/10)

100 attempts (0/100)

First experience (0/1)

10 experiences (0/10)

… … .

The scroll bar at the bottom continued endlessly. … Nogada, this is it. Even units run more and more carelessly. Besides, half of them are blank as to whether it is impossible to confirm.

My excitement cooled down a bit, so I turned off the window.

But since I received the points, let’s try to use them in a game-like way.

I called up the status window.

At the bottom, ‘remaining points: 1’ was newly displayed.

“Distributed 1 point for singing.”

Then the contents of the status window changed.

[Name: Park Moon-dae (Ryu Gun-woo)]

Level: 1

Title: None

Singer: C+

Dance: –

Appearance: C

Talent: –

Characteristics: Unlimited potential

Singing has become C+.

Is this really reflected?

Right away, I re-selected the song I sang earlier. And I called the same.

“… … you’re good?”

There was definitely a difference. It was easier to hear and the sound came out more polished. It feels like my throat has learned how to call it that way by itself.

And the ‘characteristics’ that appeared on the status window.

“The potential is limitless.”

Ordinary people differ in their performance compared to their efforts according to their innate talents. And no matter how hard you try, there are limits. There is a limit to the maximum potential for growth.

However, now this status window shows that the efficiency is absurdly high compared to the effort and there is no limit to growth.

Besides, when I tried it, I confirmed that my skills actually improved.

I stroked my chin and thought.

Idols… .

Do you mean to take it as a new path?

And at that moment, a pop-up popped up on the status window.

“… !!”

[Suddenly!]

Abnormal Status: ‘Debut or Death’ occurred!

Lines of letters continued under the red letters.

[‘Debut or death’]

If you can’t debut as an idol within the set period, you die

Remaining period: D-365

“What?”

It was absurd, but I had an ominous feeling.

It’s already a crazy situation from entering someone else’s body, but there’s no guarantee that something more strange won’t happen.

As soon as I finished reading, the weird pop-up disappeared.

And sure enough, a strange item was added to the status window.

[Name: Park Moon-dae (Ryu Gun-woo)]

Level: 1

Title: None

Singing: C+

Dance: –

Appearance: C

Talent: – Traits

: Infinite potential

! Abnormal Status: Debut or Death

Is this real?

“X feet… … .”

I cursed and covered my forehead. Cold sweat broke out.

I had already confirmed that the status window worked. I couldn’t ignore the possibility that this shitty phrase could come true.

Why did something like this come out? Because I think of idols?

I was so nervous that I burst out laughing. But at the same time, I also had this thought.

‘… Could the Datapal be punished for doing something?’

yes idol.

In fact, it was a familiar field due to personal circumstances.

It was because when I was in college, I took pictures for idols and earned a good living. A bit in the process… I’ve also tried hardening.

I’ve seen all the stars and heard all the rumors.

In addition, as I go around filming people saying that the environment makes people, at one point I even became over-immersed in this field for no reason.

At that time, I voluntarily researched this and that, so it is a field in which I have some knowledge.

I rubbed my face and wiped away the cold sweat. Then, I crossed my arms and glared at the status window.

I don’t know what is. I’m dumbfounded and pissed off.

But I have no intention of dying.

So stay calm.

Yes, it was a trashy life anyway, but you’re saying you’re going to give it a fresh start. Even on such favorable terms.

Besides, if I want to trace the reason why I entered this body, I will have to use and check this unrealistic status window more.

“hmm.”

Self-rationalization has been completed. I smirked in spite of the taste.

… Around this time, an idol survival program was a huge hit, right?
