Debut or Die - Chapter 92

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 092

“… … .”

I made eye contact with my opponent. And mumbled a little.

“… I think I will think of it every time I record in the future.”

“haha!”

Cheongryeo waved her hand.

“You don’t have to worry. Actually, I just made it up. It’s a slightly modified version of the ghost story in the recording studio.”

“… … Um, that’s right.”

“But you know that the ghost story in the recording studio is true, right?”

“… … !”

Cheong-Ryeo laughed a few times, shouted bullshit, and then disappeared, saying that she would wash up and come back.

“… After”

passed.

I tried my best not to look bored.

‘I’m sure he knows that.’

A bastard who knew about this goddamn status window or regression had cast me into a ghost story smoke screen.

‘How do you know.’

It was not a sure look. I mean, he didn’t directly check my condition… If so, does that mean that he reasoned only by looking at the circumstances in the state of having background knowledge?

… no this is stupid

‘There are too many uncertainties.’

Pretending to tidy up my hair, I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead. And decided on the next action.

Soon, Cheongryeol returned.

“It was nice to bring a rechargeable electric kettle. Mix well with cold water and use.”

“Ah, thank you very much.”

I received a cylindrical device from Cheongryeol.

It was an electric kettle, not a thermos.

‘Somehow the Americano was boiling.’

I did what I had to do, admiring the production crew who made only cold water come out while taking care of useless details.

‘Status window.’

First of all, check the status window.

Judging from the tendencies so far, there were usually hints to guess what kind of person the character was in the characteristics and status abnormalities.

‘There’s nothing to lose by checking.’

But the moment the popup pops up.

An unexpected hint arrived.

[Name: Cheongryeo (Shin Jaehyun)]

This person is currently unidentifiable.

※Required condition: Second ‘truth’ confirmation

“… … !”

I immediately turned to the bathroom.

It was to hide the agitation.

Then he slowly moved to the bathroom and closed the door.

“… … .”

There were no cameras in the bathroom.

“after… .”

But the mic is still hanging. I checked the status window again with my mouth shut so I wouldn’t talk nonsense.

[※Required condition: Check the second ‘truth’]

I didn’t read it wrong.

To check the status window of Cheongryeo, it means to receive the ‘truth’ reward that I have put on hold.

‘Am I rushing?’

Or maybe he was really asking for it because he was connected to this situation.

‘It’s like watching content with level restrictions in the game.’

Either way was plausible, so it was hard to be sure.

‘… Restart the status ailment with this uncertain hint?’

It was crazy. So it was more embarrassing.

‘If it’s for the purpose of haste, I could use more extreme measures.’

What if he really has a clue that the status bar is shaking a carrot?

“… … .”

let’s decide

‘Anyway, I can’t live with the status ailments constantly popping up.’

Strictly speaking, my speculation that status ailments would disappear if I cleared it like this was no different from a happy circuit.

And no matter how much you delay this, it’s 300 days. After that, you should receive your reward.

‘I’d rather get what I can get now.’

When this timing passed, I did not know how Chungrye would come out. Rather, it ends when they are exploring each other.

‘… pop-up.’

[Successful 1st place!]

You succeeded in winning 1st place on the airwaves music broadcast < Popular Music >!

!Time Limit: Satisfied (Great Success)

!Status Abnormality: Eliminate ‘No. 1 or Death’!

: Check the truth ☜ Click!

I slowly raised my hand and brought it to ‘Click!’

And, like last time, my vision was darkened.

* * *

The roof of the building where the cold wind blows.

“… … .”

A man was smoking a cigarette. The smoke is blown away by the chilly winter wind.

He could have coughed into the cold air, but the man did not blink an eye.

I just looked down with a wide-eyed glare. A shining night view passed. There was an advertisement on the billboard across the street.

It was a brand he once took a picture of.

Specifically, his group.

‘Where did it get twisted… … .’

The man suddenly fell into trouble while looking at the colorful colors of the video.

Going abroad at the wrong time? A concept out of sync? Members who lost their original intentions? Investors in the agency who only make useless wishes?

“… … .”

and concluded

‘It was wrong from the beginning.’

In the first place, the composition of the members was wrong. There were too many useless members.

No, it wasn’t useless, it was a hindrance.

‘If I made it, I wouldn’t have done it like this.’

He just admitted it. he lived wrong

‘Emotional tears. It’s only used when selling everything.’

People want to sit when they stand and lie down when they sit. Personal circumstances are unavoidable… It’s just an excuse to talk and sell cheaply.

“… … .”

After admitting it, I felt relieved. The man chuckled and tossed the remaining burnt butt into the sky.

And just like that, it fell down the railing.

rattle.

With the sound of kicking on the railing, the man fell onto the road under a high-rise building.

But when the man comes to his senses.

“… !!”

He woke up in a small room at home.

“… … what.”

The old cell phone screen he picked up reflected the boy’s face.

… … She was herself before becoming a young lady.

* * *

“Huh!”

I took a breath and came to my senses.

And immediately turned on the water.

gigg.

Cold water poured with a creaking sound. I immediately splashed water on my face.

“… … .”

It was the same as ‘Park Moondae’. This composition looks into the past of others from a third-person perspective.

and… This guy is definitely a nerd.

‘Such a fucking foot.’

This bastard has also returned to the past.

Even if you try to guess it, it seems that you have had a career and then came back and succeeded.

I laughed at the thought that it fit the plot of the web novel, but I got angry before that.

‘So you blocked the status window from being checked… !’

If you check it with the status window, the ‘truth’ reward is meaningless.

No, rather than that, why the hell is this a reward?

The past of ‘Park Moon-dae’ was directly related to my situation, so I thought it would be like that.

But no matter what Cheong-ryeo said, what has it to do with me?

‘I’m going to give you a hint about status abnormalities… !’

… The anger that had risen was only subdued after soaking my head in cold water for quite some time. And I barely came to a reasonable conclusion.

‘… It must mean that you can get a hint.’

If you can listen to information from this strange supernatural experiencer, you will surely understand how things are going.

In that sense, this status window seems to give hints step by step as if you were playing a game

.

[‘Award or death’]

: Death if you do not receive the Rookie Award at the most prestigious domestic awards ceremony within the specified period

Remaining period: D-365

… Also, when I see you doing this shit, it seems like you just want me to suffer.

‘But it’s a little better this time.’

As long as the Rookie of the Year award doesn’t happen, I think I’ll keep it.

That ambiguous ‘authoritative’ criterion bothers me, but even so, the candidate… Hmmm 3. In terms of objective grades, there is absolutely nothing to be pushed back.

It is unreasonable for any newcomer to debut in the second half of the year in a trend where it is difficult to gain popularity these days, surpassing the testa from < Azusa >.

‘It’s rather difficult to get first place on a public TV station.’

I calmed down and wiped the water off my face.

Then, I walked out of the bathroom holding the pot I had received from Cheongryeo in my hand.

“Well written. thank you.”

“Thanks are fine, and I’m glad you wrote them well anyway.”

I returned the port and sat across from Cheongryeo.

Then, he took out a kettle from his backpack and handed it to him.

“It’s going to be all night, but if it’s okay, why don’t you eat something sweet?”

“Oh, thank you.”

Cheongrye took it right away, but he pretended to open it and did not eat it.

‘I don’t know if he’s managing or being vigilant.’

Pretending to rummage through my backpack, I checked Cheongryeo’s status window again.

It came out right this time.

[Name: Cheongryeo (Shin Jae-hyeon)]

Singing: B+ (B+)

Dance: S+ (S+)

Appearance: A+ (S-)

Talent: A (A+)

Trait: Emotion (A)

! Abnormal Status: Correction (Deactivation)

‘Crazy. ‘

What kind of stats are X-legged old people.

I was thinking of checking the characteristics first, but my eyes went by itself. I was about to bite my tongue.

‘But the potential is not infinite.’

The vague expectation that all of the stats would be limited to EX was wrong.

Anyway, let’s calm down and see what we originally wanted to check.

from the characteristics.

[Emotion (A)]

: Valuable things are scarce and trash is everywhere.

-Human resource judgment +150%

‘It’s a talent like a businessman.’

If the ‘truth’ recollections you saw earlier are true, it could be a talent you acquired while reminiscing about your life before you died.

The only thing that bothers me is that it has only one feature.

‘Isn’t there such a thing as a characteristic draw?’

… The difference between me and me was pretty clear.

Anyway, let’s move on.

This time it’s a status ailment.

[Correction (Disabled)]

: Try again

– Go back to the beginning in case of failure.

… I got goosebumps.

And I just remembered the conversation.

– This time, I’m trying hard to become a successful idol without controversy… what is this You keep dying in an accident and going back to the past!

‘The idol ghost story I was talking about earlier… Was it your story?’

Could it be that if you fail to remove the ‘if you die’ type of status ailment, the status window will go back to when it first appeared?

It was a terrifying speculation.

However, this status abnormality was ‘inactive’.

That alone was a great harvest. Because it means there is a way to disable it.

‘Once the cleanup is over.’

Further investigation follows.

I put down my luggage and stared at Cheongnye again.

“Are you done checking the snacks?”

“yes. There is nothing wrong.”

“haha.”

Do you still want to play Gingamin?

Also, that bastard doesn’t know much about me. I just floated.

Then, this means that this side has an advantage in information power, so this time it’s my turn.

be robbed

“hmm… Senior, would it be okay if I ask for advice?”

“sure. I don’t know if I can give you any advice… Are you worried?”

“yes. It’s not different… By any chance, how did you start with the seniors on the same team?”

“… Well, what if it starts?”

I brought cold coffee and deliberately took a slow sip. And he spoke slowly.

“Since the formation process of our team was unique… I think there is definitely a strong consensus on that side, but I wonder what other groups are like.”

“… Please?”

“yes. How did VTIC seniors debut together?”

“… … .”

Obviously, in the ‘truth’ recall, this guy picked ‘members’ as the fundamental cause of VTIC’s failure.

‘Obviously this bastard changed a member in the middle.’

I don’t know what the one trainee did, but it’s an almost certain guess.

Currently, VTIC is strong and is living well as a top tier without major controversy.

“Hmm, that’s an interesting question.”

Cheongryeo smiled and lifted the snack I gave her.

Deuk. The nuts were chewed and disappeared with a sound. I silently waited for an answer with a serious face.

Come on, be agitated.
