Debut or Die - Chapter 320
If I can’t debut, I’ll get sick to death. Episode 320
The moment I hear the definite answer, the questions related to the status window so far pass through my head like a flashback.
‘… ‘Park Moon-dae’ is the status window’
and before making a conclusion.
The original Bakmundae ‘Keundal’ started talking as if he were retracing the things he had experienced as a status window.
“At first I was completely unconscious. but… My brother was shouting the status window, and I suddenly came to my senses.”
-I quit because I was playing a game ㅅㅅ
The last words I posted when I closed the WeTube account ‘gun1234’ where I uploaded fancams.
“Hyung likes games, so I thought it would be helpful… .”
“Maybe it was the last shock I had when I was a human, and it might have been because I realized that the account was my older brother.”
I barely opened my mouth.
“Then leveling up or drawing specials?”
“yes. I’ve only played mobile games… Maybe that was the only thing that seemed plausible. sorry.”
It was nothing to be sorry for.
The privilege I got The status window that I had alone… It didn’t stick out because of the balance, as Cheong-ryeo thought.
That’s exactly what this guy did.
“After that, it assimilated into the system again… I just played the role of showing what the system was trying to do in a good way.”
I cut him off.
“No thank you.”
“… ! that that… no… .”
The guy sitting across from me didn’t know what to do, then lowered his head.
“Actually, strange things happen from here.”
strange thing?
“I told you that I, who prepared for the civil service exam with my older brother’s body, synchronized with me who lived through the status window.”
“okay.”
“that is… I think I, the status window, was adversely influenced by me preparing for the civil service exam.”
“… !”
“so… Even in the status window, I vaguely knew what would happen to him in the future. I’ve seen all of hyung’s activities since Azusa.”
I see.
I remembered not only what I wanted, but also the draw in the status window, which gave me the necessary characteristics at that time, as if I had predicted the future.
It wasn’t predicting the future. It was because of the people who really lived in the future.
I pressed my forehead.
‘There is no beginning and no end.’
If I hadn’t set up a ‘conversation with Park Moon-dae’ as a mission after clearing all status abnormalities, this guy who was preparing to become a civil servant would not have existed.
But I need this guy who was preparing to become a civil servant so that I can clear the status abnormality with the predictive shot in the status window.
“Cause and effect are just mixed up, right? haha… I am a bit confused too.”
“I know.”
Even if you return to the past, time does not reset and coexists as it is, so there is no order back and forth.
It’s as if I intervened in Testa’s activities in the middle while helping with this public announcement.
“hmm.”
In the meantime, the big moon carefully opened his mouth again.
“Um so… It was when I realized that my older brother’s car accident was not far away when my ego, which was a status window, woke up properly.”
“… !”
I instantly remembered the unusual option I received as a reward after clearing the ‘200,000 audience mobilization status abnormality’.
[Option]
: Check ‘truth’ ☜ Click!
: Obtain ‘coin’ ☜ Click! !
※ Duplicate selection is not possible
“… … Coin..”
The big moon smiled faintly.
“that’s right. At that time, the choice was not the system, but I did it.”
oh my god.
“Any errors after that?”
Right after that, when the next status ailment appeared, all kinds of lines were stretched and the status ailment was continuously updated.
‘No 1 or Death’ occurs!
‘If it is not a target, death’ occurs!
‘Performance or death’ occurs!
I thought it was as if someone had hacked it, but it was an accurate hunch.
“yes… Fortunately, my brother picked out the coin, but there was an error there.”
I opened my mouth unconsciously.
“Is it because the truth has not been confirmed?”
An error occurred because the final condition could not be cleared.
“… ! that’s right. That’s why the status ailment that was supposed to end with that originally popped up once more… .”
“… … .”
“Ugh, I think it happened because I just intervened. So I tried to change or cancel something as easy as possible… It didn’t work.”
The boy bowed his head with an embarrassed face.
But in fact, the burden of that condition was entirely on him.
“That’s why the target of death also changed to you.”
-The death of ‘Park Moon-dae’ if he cannot meet more than 400,000 spectators within the specified period.
The big moon nodded.
“… yes. Actually, hyung’s status ailments ended right before that. The penalty is something that the creator has to bear.”
I muttered calmly.
“I don’t understand that.”
“yes yes?”
“The number of my status ailments.”
I folded my fingers.
“In the end, it’s just that I don’t remember, but it was right that I lived a few more years and then came back.”
The guy who said he organized my belongings… My future job at the company. The one I saw in the last truth check.
“Why did I get fewer status ailments based on my memory rather than that standard?”
“that… It is because the preliminary work was done to grant my wish before my brother goes back to the past.”
His wish is… .
-I hope Kun-woo hyung lives a long, happy life… … … .
It’s an absurdly good wish, but there is something even more absurd than that.
“You said I didn’t have to have that memory to live?”
“yes.”
The guy across from me seemed a little pale, but he was determined.
“During those years, the system judged that you would not accept your new body because you were so heartbroken.”
“… … .”
“And looking at how much I returned to the past based on my older brother’s memories that were deleted like that, the status ailments were reduced that much.”
I was speechless.
I gritted my teeth for some reason and replied slowly.
“I don’t even remember meeting you.”
I don’t even remember that I contacted him from the time I bought him soup.
“That too. If it enters the body of someone you know… I must have thought that my brother would react strangely.”
I’m going crazy.
‘I set it up so that I can thoroughly grant one wish.’
Blowing away other people’s memories is not a way to look personable at all, and it was a judgment that some AI would have made.
Come to think of it, there is my uniqueness that comes to mind by being connected by itself.
“Could you even check the truth?”
A status abnormality clear reward that was given only to me.
“yes.”
The guy on the other side closed his eyes.
“When the system analyzed it, the older brother decided that he could overcome his trauma by seeing himself… same.”
Isn’t it crazy.
“That’s why I did it using the existing status window.”
“The system used the status window?”
“yes. From that point on, I wasn’t the only one using the system, the system started using me too. … We were able to influence each other.”
“… … .”
I suddenly looked closely at the guy on the other side.
The big moon sitting in the image world was a mixture of ‘Ryu Gun-woo’ with ‘Park Moon-dae’, but looking back, somewhere… I felt out of place.
Tick.
At that moment, a crackling noise bounced around the creature’s outline.
‘Damn it.’
“To be honest, I am still a bit confused. It seems to be a bit mixed with the system.”
It was a strange situation. I frowned.
“The system would have moved to someone else.”
Gold 2 Kwon Hee-seung.
“You stayed in the status window. But are they still mixed?”
“hmm… As hyung finished the status abnormality, my ego became clearer and clearer. So when the system moved, it could remain on its own.”
The guy opened and closed his hand.
“however… I can use some of the same abilities as before.”
I automatically remembered what I had pulled from the last talent draw.
[Characteristic: Acquiring ‘Mission Constitution (S)’!]
Ability to trade rewards and penalties in a form similar to status ailments.
“It must have been you who gave me the nature of the mission.”
“yes.”
So, in the end, this guy saved himself.
‘hmm.’
It should have been fun for a while.
“therefore… I think we are still somewhat connected. We cannot interfere with each other.”
“okay.”
This… I might be able to use it somewhere. I nodded and relaxed.
“phew… .”
The guy on the other side let out a small sigh as if he had taken care of something big.
‘I guess I’ve said everything.’
I chuckled. Then it was my turn to talk.
“I heard you well. Everything I was curious about has been answered.”
“yes!”
Here is the main point. I cleared my expression and opened my mouth again.
“and… Thank you for saving me.”
“yes?”
“Thanks to you, I lived well.”
I remembered what I had experienced over the years as ‘Park Moon-dae’.
There were a lot of really bad things, but looking back… The ending was always good.
The whole experience came to mind vividly. therefore… I never thought I would say this out of my mouth.
“Idols were fun.”
If I had to do it again, I could have done it.
of course… .
“I didn’t know I wanted to be an idol either, but I guess I did.”
Suddenly, the man in front of me started to weep.
“… ??”
What are you doing?
“I’m sorry. I’m really moved… . I hope you will say that at hyung’s concert… ”
“… … It
was ridiculous, but I just laughed. I didn’t feel bad.
And it was like a joke.
“I was surprised by your civil service exam, too.”
Did you ever want to have a job like that?
“… !”
At that moment, the guy makes a pricked expression.
What.
“Um bro, that’s it.”
“why.”
“That’s true… I just thought of hyung, so I guess I, the status window, roughly decided.”
“… .”
I’d rather be in 9th grade, you bastard.
I can’t say anything because I got stuck in the end, but I don’t know why I pushed myself into the pit of hell.
The guy who muttered a few words like an excuse, saying, ‘I didn’t know the civil service exam well’, quickly returned to the main topic.
“Your brother really helped me a lot there. To be honest, hyung saved my life several times starting with the mission… .”
“Then let’s say we helped each other.”
“yes… … .”
The tension in the conversation gradually eases up and you start to have time to think.
And as if expressing such a state of mind, outside the window, the sunset is over and one or two stars are visible.
At that moment, the drowsy guy jumped up.
“omg! Is it almost time??”
“hour?”
Do you think it’s an imaginary world?
“yes! My brother is… It’s because I used a trick for a while right before leaving my brother’s body who was tested… .”
After all, that’s the most important thing. future whereabouts of this man.
“Then what will happen to you in the future?”
“that… You can even go back to the status screen!”
You are talking nonsense.
“Have you ever thought of wanting to use your body?”
“uh… To be honest, it’s because I’ve been in the status window for a long time, so I don’t feel like my body… . I am not attracted to you.”
“… … Is that so?”
It’s a win-win situation for me, but it’s kind of bitter… the moment you think about it.
An additional explanation is attached.
“And if I go back to my body, Testa will disintegrate. I can’t really… How did you come?”
“… … .”
why do you care about that
I don’t know if I was overimmersed because I spent a long time in the status window or because I was comforted by the exam life, but I don’t think this is the case.
“You can do it. Since my body is the same, I think my stats will be the same.”
In my daydream, I used the body of ‘Ryu Gun-woo’, but that wasn’t the reality.
But the guy on the other side grinned.
“That brother. There was something I wanted to say about it… .”
“… ?”
“Do you remember the character from the very beginning? Even before the feature draw came out.”
It was before the talent draw… .
“Infinite potential?”
“yes!”
okay. A ridiculous morale trait that allowed all stats to grow to their limits… .
“That’s my brother’s original.”
“… !”
what?
“So, the traits you picked and the stats you raised… It’s just that the talents that my older brother had were revealed.”
“… … .”
“Among the things he accomplished, there was nothing he couldn’t have.”
The big moon nodded coolly.
“I want you to know that.”
“… … .”
I stared blankly at him as if I had been hit in the back of the head.
‘It’s mine.’
Slowly, a strange feeling of exhilaration rises.
Its name is… It was a sense of satisfaction.
voice goes on
“So please show me a great activity.”
I reflexively nodded. My head couldn’t turn because of the sense of security that filled my head.
The guy on the other side mumbled.
“I really want to continue to support hyung as an idol… .”
“… … !”
At that moment, I came to my senses.
Now is not the time to be sentimental, but the time to direct traffic.
from this guy.
‘If you’re not interested in your body… .’
“Then are you not interested in a body that has been put to the test?”
I don’t think I’m going to stick to the 7th grade and throw it away.
“Uh uh!”
Fortunately, this time the positive response came back. Since you’ve spent the entire 4 years, you must have wanted to do this.
“Hey, hey, is that okay? It’s my brother’s body!”
“What am I doing in the yard where I use your body?”
It’s not like I’m going to put on my extra body and boil soup, so what is it? I looked at him with the attitude of not accepting the specifications.
Then he nodded his head a little reddened.
“then… I will use it well for a while.”
for a while?
The moment you want to ask a question about the awkward word choice somewhere.
“Brother time is up! I think it will flow soon. Hurry up and lie down!”
“ah.”
I turned around to lie down on the sofa at his fuss. It was then.
The reflected light from the dark window, which had clearly become night, reflected my figure.
“… !”
I can see there… It was not the perfect ‘Ryu Gun-woo’. But if you ask me if it was only ‘Testa Park Moon-dae’, I don’t know either.
It was both.
I don’t know how that’s possible, but it just seemed like no matter who knew what I looked like, they would recognize that as me.
It was a solid figure that was completely settled, unlike the figure of the big moon where elements were mixed as if it had not yet been refined.
As if he’s already convinced of who I am…
‘I am.’
After subtracting it like that, I guess they both thought it was me.
I lay down and burst out laughing in a feeling that I couldn’t say anything.
It was kind of cool.
“If I get a chance… .”
I replied to the cautious voice.
“See you again.”
“… !yes!”
And then I closed my eyes to sleep again.
This time, it was a dark battle in which all five senses completely disappeared.
Dormancy in which consciousness and thinking disappear.
dang-.
The moment I thought I heard a bell.
“Park Moon-dae… !”
I came to my senses and realized I was on the podium.
Smell of stage equipment and air conditioner.
“… … under.”
It was the day Testa received the grand prize.
