Debut or Die

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 542

Let’s be honest.

It is not the first time that my body changes and the world changes when I close my eyes and open them. It’s not strange even if you get used to it.

‘one… Is this the fifth?’

I will turn… No, you get used to this absurd situation over and over again. It took only a few seconds to regain the ability to think rationally.

So let’s calmly and rationally summarize what has happened so far.

– I retrieved system fragments.

He successfully brought the fragments that belonged to Chung-ryeo while serving in the military.

Up to this point everything went according to plan, but what happened next was a problem.

-Suddenly, the vision was distorted.

In fact, not only the field of vision, but the surroundings suddenly twisted and whirled like crazy,

as if the video was fast-forwarded.

And now, barely stopping, what I see in front of my eyes… .

-VTIC Chung-rye is standing on the roof.

Yes.

However, this didn’t seem like the request I had just been talking to for serving in the JSA.

I looked at the guy in front of me again.

Here, Cheong-Ri, looking down from the rooftop, was wearing a black coat.

A well-groomed face, hair, and body shape. Roughly… Appears to be in early to mid 20’s.

So at least the past.

< Re-listing! Idol Inc. > was one winter night before it even aired.

and… The rooftop of a building on the outskirts of Seoul, where you can see the night view of Seoul.

“… … .”

This was the first restart location of Cheongryeol I saw through the system.

‘But there are differences in a few details.’

Combining all of this leads to a fairly convincing hypothesis.

-Cheongryeo from the past who is repeating ‘restart’.

That means he has nothing to do with me and I don’t know him.

‘Damn it.’

I want to put some soju in my mouth right now. I sighed.

‘Things are getting complicated.’

If I had to point out the good thing objectively, this wasn’t the worst situation compared to what I expected.

It’s not even a day or two that the system sucks. Of course, I had considered the tolerable side effects that would occur when collecting fragments. While doing it, the big moon was almost about to bite the bubble.

But what about meeting the old Cheongryeo guy?

This is not something to panic all over again. Well, what in the yard that even the steer guys met once?

Let’s decide the direction of action right now.

About this guy… Let’s call it a restart call.

– Check if communication with this restart is possible.

from understanding the situation.

Besides, look at this guy who dared to visit the place where he first ‘restarted’. I see you give meaning to this… Doesn’t each come out?

This is the guy who didn’t restart a few times.

‘I’ll be able to stir it up with words.’

There will be a difference in information value from the guy who tried everything he could. Don’t you think it would be easier to bake than a guy in the army?

Still, the feeling of going through all the crazy things is still there… what would be better

I calmly opened my mouth.

‘you… .’

And I realized

I have no voice.

I’m not talking nonsense because I’m nervous. Really, my voice itself is ‘not there’.

I tried to raise my hand and raise it into my field of vision, but I couldn’t see it.

‘… … .’

Come to think of it… .

‘Even this guy can’t see me.’

If there is someone this close, even the guy who tried to jump off the roof would recognize the other person at least once.

However, Chung-rye continues to look under the roof. it won’t notice me

I glanced at him with the feeling of crossing my arms (albeit without arms).

‘Am I just watching one-sidedly?’

Like the flashbacks I saw every time I cleared a status ailment. I wondered if I was going to see this guy’s memories again.

That was the moment.

“there.”

The upper body in a coat leaning against the railing turned around.

Come this way.

‘… … .’

Do you see it?

But nothing more.

It looked all over the air around me, as if recognizing invisible dust, but didn’t seem to find anything.

Then he turned his gaze down the roof of the road.

“… … .”

Why the fuck are you fucking biting at me like you’re hiding?

I wanted to hit my missing head with a blow. I sighed in embarrassment.

Also there was no sound.

But there was a problem.

As if that action had been the trigger, the pressure that shook her body returned.

-… !

It was like being sucked into another typhoon.

If I continued like this, I felt like I would be swept away and experience another whirlwind around me like crazy.

‘If I do it wrong, I’ll be X.’

Hopefully, it can go back to normal after that, but… .

‘Somehow… I don’t have a good feeling!’

I gritted my teeth and tried to grab something around me. Outdoor unit wire wall railing… .

‘no.’

all failed The moment I had an intuition that I would be violently sucked into somewhere.

I tried to hold onto the end of the railing, but I brushed Restart Cheongryeo’s clothes.

[———-]

Suddenly, the force began to act in both directions.

‘for a moment.’

one is still outside.

The one is… It is on the green side.

‘… … .’

I don’t know what kind of situation this is, but… .

‘I have a choice!’

And usually the new option is better.

Under pressure, I began to struggle to hold on to the power of Cheongryeo while swearing in pairs.

And when things are over.

‘Hook.’

I realized I was looking under the roof.

And this wasn’t my vision.

… This is the place where Restart Chungrye stood.

“… … .”

It sounds really crazy, but I’m the spirit of this young man… Or it seemed to stick to the field of view.

There was only one possible reason.

I just realized in this state… .

‘There is a system.’

Now this kid has a system.

It was because I came in contact with it that my mind was able to stick to it like a magnet.

‘what?’

Why am I attached to the system?

But contemplating the cause is an afterthought. What I need right now is… .

‘Are you grasping the situation again?’

It is to check why I have fallen into this situation.

talk and dig

The problem is that in order to dig something out, I must be able to express myself first… .

‘… … .’

It came to mind.

A way to communicate without a body.

Do you remember how I found Steer Lee Se-jin A in the system and let him open a chat?

‘… okay.’

I had direct access to the system.

Very direct and brutal.

‘And you can still try that.’

After taking a short deep breath.

I jumped into the Cheongrye system.

* * *

The cool night air moved to the rooftop.

Cheong-rye felt a sharp pain in her head accompanied by dizziness for a moment.

‘hmm.’

However, there is no trembling in the hand holding the railing. The eyes that look are also silent.

Migraines were an occasional problem.

Physical pain should go away with a restart, but that wasn’t always the case. Chronic pain with an ambiguous cause of ‘mental fatigue’ appeared occasionally and was annoying like a penalty.

Of course, you get used to it and gradually treat it as a condition rather than a penalty.

Besides, this headache was instant.

There was no need to put a hand on your forehead. He passed the symptoms without inspiration.

Because I’m going to restart anyway.

‘I’ll have to check it again with a new body.’

whether the symptoms remain.

He moved his gaze back to the road beneath the building he had been staring at.

A quiet back alley, without crowds or fuss.

It was just the right height to crush your head.

I’ve tried a few different places, but none have been as neat a restart spot as this one.

‘The first attempt was the most appropriate.’

If you’re lucky, that was a good thing.

And originally, I was going to put that ‘proper way’ into practice right now… He twisted his hand on the railing.

“… … .”

Somehow I didn’t like it.

Rarely in a very long time.

‘Is it because of the headache?’

In fact, it didn’t matter what the cause was.

I didn’t restart for a few hours and stayed there to check the new plan without any problems.

Like cooking or exercising, you can practice as much as you want until you start the real competition.

It’s time to throw it away anyway.

‘If used well, it will be efficient.’

He took a feeble interest in the idea. It was a thin, crude feeling that was hard to even call a pleasure.

Because this was an idea that I was already tired of.

It was just one of many ways he tried to squeeze efficiencies.

“… … .”

Cheong-rye took her body off the railing and turned around casually and walked down the building.

There was no cigarette, but the white breath remained.

Accommodation was not far.

“Are you okay bro?”

“of course.”

He returned to his room after giving a casual answer to the member who asked with worried eyes.

Of course, when that member asked if he was worried about Cheongryeo’s late return, he wasn’t.

That attitude is due to an incident that happened to this group just four days ago.

[“Billboard male idol’s pink hangout in Seocho-dong” witnessing wave]

[VTIC Heewoon apology… “Sorry for worrying the fans”]

Dating rumor.

A VTIC member’s loud devotion was discovered and covered the Internet.

Since the accommodation is strictly managed, the sasaeng broke into renting a space and setting up a house as if building a nest in a place that was not an accommodation at all.

Even in the first week of their comeback.

-Crazy bastard, you’ve made a living lol

-Leave it

-I want to kill you when I think of you smirking at the grand prize.Thanks

to this, VTIC has been able to quietly stop this activity itself, which started with an ambitious awards ceremony, after three days.

And Cheong-rye thought.

It would have been easier to deal with the crime.

‘If it’s a crime, I could delete it from the group.’

I mean resignation.

But dating rumors are ambiguous.

The blow is more tremendous than any other incident, but it is morally difficult to dislodge. Because it’s just love.

And the dating rumor that even managed to live on this year’s vacation was a death sentence for the individual idol and a fatal wound for the group.

It was like a flare-up of a fall.

‘Even if it rebounds… No activity, no fame, at least for a few months.’

Right now, VTIC’s topicality was being sucked into the dating rumors of that member.

And now it’s December 27th.

What this meant was clear.

Even if they receive the grand prize at VTIC’s current awards ceremony, they will not be recognized as ‘popular idols’ by the public.

with a very high probability.

‘therefore… .’

This year’s target is the end.

-failure.

It’s time for a clean restart.

And this time, a new opportunity will be given again.

maybe forever

“… … .”

Cheong-rye felt her head cool and clear.

The reluctance I felt earlier on the roof had disappeared before I knew it.

‘Then tomorrow at 5 am.’

He made plans in a stupor.

There was nothing to lose.

At one point, I did something rather destructive to relieve stress, but I don’t need that anymore.

relaxed and calm

Everything becomes more and more numb as attempts accumulate.

Even if it is repeating an endless challenge without any hints or help.

New variable Unexpected help Stop expecting unexpected miracles.

Everything is leveled, smoothed, flat, and just becomes a pattern.

He just sat quietly and reviewed the idea of a new VTIC member once again.

It was such a calm moment.

[Can you see it?]

“… … .”

Cheong-rye stopped her eyes.

And as if I had seen it, the translucent text in front of my eyes was renewed.

[Wait a minute.]

The color stabilizes. It becomes increasingly clear.

The empty text said.

[Do not restart.]

Cheong-ryo stopped breathing.

There was a time when he reasoned like a human being.

what situation you are in.

Alien spiritual experience, at least a kind of computer simulation. There were many hypotheses.

But it has never been proven. No matter what I tried, no response came back.

But now.

[Still left.]

[Period! There is still time left.]

A pop-up appeared in front of me.

[‘Grand prize or death’]

: Death remaining period

: D-359

“… … .”

Objectives clearly expressed as dates in text.

and… .

[The dates overlap. Because it’s December 28th… You have time until December 28 next year. Then I think you can aim for a few from ToneA.]

Someone’s advice.

Chung-rye blinked her eyes.

Then he took a slow breath and turned his head.

Another window was floating beside it.

[!Unauthorized error occurred]

Are you sure you want to remove the status window (■■■)?

And there was only one option.

[Yes]

After a moment of giddy silence.

Cheong-ryeo took her eyes off the window.

He didn’t clear this error.

‘after.’

Park Mun-dae, who was accessing the system through the system, had no choice but to breathe a sigh of relief.

Anyone can see that it was an option to get rid of yourself.

And if it’s that guy, wouldn’t it be plausible to delete it right away if it bothers you?

‘Of course, it’s easy to induce him not to do that.’

It was too obvious that Cheong Ryeo at this time cared about it.

Efficiency only!

Park Moon-dae’s reasoning was that he would keep any element that would help him reach his goal.

‘Proof of value.’

And that was also his specialty.

[I’m being asked first.]

Park Moon-dae randomly created a terminal and forcibly connected it to pop up a pop-up in front of Cheong-ryeo’s eyes, smiling grinningly.

However, after a while, he gets a double bath.

This is because I realized what kind of person this ‘Restart Cheongryo’ was.

[! Abnormal Status: Correction]

: Let’s try again

– If it fails, go back to the beginning.

This was a familiar description of the status ailment of Cheongryeo.

However, there was no indication of inactivation.

‘It means it’s in an active state.’

And as if to supplement it, one more line of explanation was attached.

[Number of returns: 100]

‘… … .’

Not the 10th, the 11th, or the 20th.

Round 101.

‘X feet!’

Park Moon-dae became the status window of Cheongnyeo, who restarted 100 times.
