Debut or Die

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 546

VTIC’s tour was a great success.

-Thanks LA!

-Waaaaa!!

Even when rumors of a romantic relationship broke out, few overseas fans canceled the scheduled concert.

It wasn’t a media activity, so I didn’t catch a special pod in Korea.

So, it was natural for LeTi to focus on the tour.

Thanks to that, it’s funny that the guy who got into the accident has a more pale complexion, but the VTIC members seem to be a little relieved.

“Today was good~”

“I will.”

Maybe it’s because they don’t feel that it’s the end if they can’t make up for it in their next domestic comeback.

And the one who has experienced it dozens of times… .

[Wasn’t today a day off?]

He’s practicing like a dog.

They said there was a problem with the concert production.

– My feet don’t fit.

Leaving that word behind, he is picking and eating people to prevent them from leaving work.

‘They said it would restart.’

In the meantime, there is another greed for the stage.

It was spectacular to see the VTIC guys following without a sound. Even the guy who started dating rumors didn’t even dare to lose weight while paying attention.

In the meantime, it was a bit funny that the two VTICs in real life were having fun.

“oh! Our feet fit perfectly!”

“Doesn’t this make you feel a little better?”

Those guys are full-timers. I nodded inwardly.

And Cheong-rye, who was looking at the two with the eyes of grading new employees interviewing, answered my question like this.

“It’s because the concert is off, not us.”

It was an established theory.

Come to think of it, I also rarely take a break in the middle of a tour.

‘Because I usually spend my time filming my own content.’

I wanted to leave work at times, but overall it was a good experience. No, I was a bit tired, though.

It’s quite fun to hang out with comfortable guys you’ve been with for years as if you’re traveling… .

[…] … .]

“Your attitude is strange.”

[No.]

Let’s not fall into sentimentality needlessly for things that don’t have a solution right away.

[Seeing others work reminds me of what I was doing.]

[Never mind.]

“… … .”

Cheong-rye nodded slightly, almost invisible, and continued practicing casually.

However, during the break between choreography practice, the guy stopped drinking water and asked:

“When I restart.”

hmm?

“How are you?”

Let’s see.

It seemed that I was wondering if I was not disappearing but returning to my original body.

[I don’t know.]

I answered honestly.

[I was worried because I wasn’t sure. Because you don’t know what will happen.]

“Um.”

Cheong-Ryeo cleaned up the water bottle she was drinking.

After living with this guy for about three months, the frequency of power-hungry attempts to suppress him when he is wrong has decreased considerably.

… Well, that’s not to say there aren’t any.

I recalled a conversation a few days ago.

-Did you go to T-Holic prison by any chance?

– I don’t think the help that tells you the future is a question to ask.

-… … .

-What do you think?

-uh. In the future I knew, T-Holic eats rice with you.

To be honest, it was more comfortable.

In that sense, I expected the next conversation.

Let’s see, I said something like ‘Your restart is dangerous to me’, so maybe this guy is saying bullshit to me like ‘Then do a better job’… .

“A risk that cannot be counted with certainty is cumbersome to deal with… .”

hmm?

I stopped predicting.

Chung-ryo murmured as she put the water bottle back in its original place.

“That’s right.”

oh.

This seems to have some room to pull off.

[That’s right.]

[Besides, if the help pops up, you’re also a handicapper

.

“I’m still trying to convince you not to restart.”

It’s ruined.

If I had my hands and could only hit one of his heads, I think I could give him the quarterly settlement.

“but… .”

Cheongryeo returned to her seat and continued.

“It would be okay to spend about 359 days searching for information.”

[…] !]

“As you said.”

I realized that I had succeeded in plucking.

In the end, Cheongryeo Nom himself admitted that he didn’t have to restart until he saw the results of the next album.

The guy who uses his energy to defeat this person!

[thanks. Help me.]

[ㅁ_ㅁb]

He smiled faintly. The atmosphere is very good… .

“How about looking back on the value of your own existence to say that help is helpful?”

[I know you haven’t lost anything. Bastard.]

After that, a few words of conversation were exchanged, but Cheong-ryo did not cancel her words.

hmm. I (mentally) rubbed my chin.

‘This really works.’

It means being a comfortable conversation partner.

Didn’t I come to the point where I would consider my condition if there was no loss to me no matter which way I chose?

Like a rattle for three months, you’re harvesting your efforts like this.

‘If you keep going like this, you might say why don’t you get a dog… .’

no that seems impossible I scrapped the hope torture.

‘I’ll have to find clues before that.’

“Let’s go in!”

“okay.”

VTIC’s practice ended later that afternoon, and Cheong-rye returned to her hotel.

[What are you going to do now?]

“Rest.”

And he sat down on a chair attached to the table and closed his eyes briefly.

“… … .”

Why leave the bed?

Anyway, it had nothing to do with me. Now I can’t sleep at all

It wasn’t a very pleasant feeling, but considering that it was quite dangerous for me to lose my mind in this situation, this side was rather safe.

Let’s just use our free time well.

‘Let’s dig deeper into the system.’

In case there are any clues, I decided to take this opportunity to dig deeper into the system.

Tung.

If you could hear it, it probably sounded like that.

I moved forward smoothly through the pressure.

‘Mmm.’

Come to think of it, from a certain point on, the pressure peculiar to this system was not so unpleasant.

It’s like when you sit in a massage chair, your body is pressed, but you feel cool and stable.

‘It’s rare.’

I fell into the system much more comfortably than before, as if I were surrendering to the flow.

more inside.

more inside.

deeper.

[…] … .]

It was the first time I had ever come this deep.

When I am enduring my mind getting foggy as if I am being weighed down by a thick blanket.

‘ah.’

Something was visible.

A deep interior never reached before.

Surprisingly, there was something glowing in it.

‘hmm?’

that… It was a terminal for the status window.

i never made

‘… … .’

It’s strange.

Didn’t Keundal start making such a terminal to implement a status window?

‘This is a system before the big moon was formed, so there must be no terminal itself.’

Why does this remain?

I reached out and made contact with the terminal as carefully as possible.

Then, like other terminals, the status window is implemented… .

The problem is that the content is familiar.

[Start reboot]

– Learning in progress.

‘… !!’

reboot.

It was the pop-up message I saw before I fell here after recovering all the system fragments.

However, the description below… it hadn’t been there before.

‘learning?’

It was then.

-Help.

A voice was heard as if calling from above.

oh shit I held back my sleep.

‘Wait a little.’

It’s a clue I barely found.

I want to think deeply about why this is here and what role it plays… .

-Help.

You are tenacious.

Holding my breath, I wiped my hands off the terminal and stood up.

‘Because if I don’t give an answer, the other side might think in vain.’

Now that you’ve memorized this terminal location, it’s easy to get back to it.

I quickly escaped the pressure and headed to the chat terminal on the surface of the system.

And once the answer was given.

[Why.]

“… … .”

No, why did you call me and not say anything?

Oddly enough, Chung-ryeo was already wearing street clothes, as if she had already woken up and was ready to go out.

[Does anyone have to take out a profile?]

“It’s not like that.”

But instead of going out, he headed to the refrigerator installed in his hotel room.

Then he took out a can of drink from it.

beer right away.

‘… ??’

“You said you wanted to drink.”

Then he returns to the table and takes a slow sip.

He doesn’t like beer very much, so his expression doesn’t look good. Besides, I don’t see you even mentioning my preference… I think it’s an act of being considerate in its own way.

‘That’s great.’

I chuckled.

I’m sorry, but I didn’t share the taste.

So, seeing other people drinking, there is a degree of satisfaction that is roughly equivalent to playing a VR game.

Although it’s funny to say this at a watermelon surface.

[Thank you.]

The attempt is imaginary. I decided to think of it as a non-alcoholic beer.

[But what kind of beer is that all of a sudden?]

He answered briefly.

“compensation.”

‘… ?’

[What reward.]

“… … .”

Cheong-rye looked away instead of answering.

[!Unauthorized error occurred]

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

With that popup.

‘for a moment.’

[What are you thinking right now]

“I was thinking about it during the break.”

Before I could finish the sentence, he started muttering.

“If it is difficult to predict what will happen, getting rid of it is the most reliable option.”

‘… … .’

“Knowing that, it wouldn’t make sense for me to choose the option of suspending the restart instead of removing you.”

[…] !!]

Chung-Ryeo tapped the beer with her finger.

“Actually, this behavior itself is strange. I can just delete it, but I’m going to proceed after talking and making compensation.”

The guy tilted his head to the side.

“It’s not worth anything.”

‘… … .’

Cheong-ryeo removed the beer from the table.

And said it with numb eyes.

“I can’t be affected like this in 90 days.”

[Wait a minute.]

X done.

This bastard also realized that he was starting to be generous with me.

And I don’t rate it very well… It seems not.

‘X feet.’

If it had a backbone, it would have been chilly. I gritted my teeth.

‘I have to go out rationally.’

from usability.

[In addition to adding new attributes, you can also prepare a way to quickly raise your stats.] [

In addition, the real-time display of abnormal conditions is

not necessary for you] “It’s unnecessary. My idea is already complete.”

Cheongryeo put on a pod and smiled quietly.

“I have all the information I need. All that remains is to restart and find the perfect combination.”

It’s crazy.

“You just have to try a few more times. There is nothing difficult. The ability to start all over again… .”

Cheongryeo stared at the pop-up without moving.

“I already have it.”

strong conviction.

I stopped the terminal for a moment.

‘… … .’

At that moment, Chung-ryeo took her hand off the beer and raised her hand to the pop-up.

“then.”

no.

[I’ll just keep my mouth shut, so don’t press it.]

[You’re excited. It’s an emotional choice]

“Enough.”

and solicitation.

Took.

I pressed the remove button as if touching it lightly.

That moment.

[Status window (■■■) removal completed]

I was torn as if being ripped apart.

* * *

Next to the sofa where Moondae Park collapsed.

“Maybe good… .”

The big moon was desperately trying to squeeze out his thoughts. But my mind was completely white.

I tried to explore the system, but the system that was originally inside the park was not connected without a trace.

No, I didn’t feel anything in Park Moon-dae’s body at all.

‘Oh, no.’

That was the scariest thing.

The sense of being always connected is gone.

It was like entering a family room and feeling empty. A sense of emptiness and fear left the big moon devastated.

But the disappointment did not last long.

“listen.”

“… ?”

Cheong-Ryeo was already trying something new.

While looking down at the big moon with his smartphone in his hand, he put the incoming call on the speaker phone.

Then a lively voice was heard.

[Uh, Moondae hyung?]

“… !!”

[Why are you calling me? Is this a broadcast?]

Kwon Hee-seung.

Moondae Park was the last system user to refer to as Gold 2.

‘oh my god.’

He is the Testa Park Moondae… I remembered!

[Ummm.]

Kwon Hee-seung poked his head with an excited face, but when he saw Daedal’s bewildered face, he realized that it was not a broadcast.

He asked cautiously with a bewildered expression.

[The atmosphere isn’t unusual for some reason… ?]

Keun-dal, dressed in Ryu Gun-woo’s body, looked at the situation in the video call with a feeling that he was about to cry.

After a while.

[No ah no… .]

Kwon Hee-seung, who had heard everything that had happened, opened his mouth and sighed.

What does this mean?

[How does that older brother get caught up in the incident every time? Wow!]

I mean.

The big moon wanted to cry a little. However, the person sitting next to him did not blink an eye.

It was because the purpose of the call was different.

“I have a question for you.”

[Yes??]

“How similar is the current situation to your experience as a server?”

“… !!”

Keundal almost jumped out of his seat.

And it was the same for Kwon Hee-seung, who was on the phone.

[Hey, that’s right! Are they the same? You’re forgetting me! When I became a servant!]

Although he had purposely erased most of his memories, he felt a sense of déjà vu right away because a few large pieces of information or feelings remained.

Isn’t it the same that only Park Moon-dae and Cheong-ryeo, who were involved in the system, remember themselves?

Kwon Hee-seung shouted in astonishment.

[Moondae hyung, maybe you got sucked into this system and became a part of it? Like parts!]

* * *

“Huh.”

I let out a breath and got up.

My nerves were twisted like I was about to vomit, and the pressure was all over the place.

It was as if he was suffering from a suffocating hangover, or as if his intestines were twisted or his semicircular canals were shattered.

‘Damn it… .’

I pressed my hand to the temple area… for a moment.

“… !!”

I removed my hand from my temple.

There was a touch.

When I raised my hand and brought it in front of my eyes, I saw my hand.

“… … .”

What is this?

‘Did he come back?’

Damn Cheongryeo said that the correct answer was to click ‘yes’ on the status window delete window?

I stumbled and got up. I was thinking of checking how much time had passed and where I was here.

But as soon as I lifted my head, I realized.

This wasn’t the JSA.

“… … !”

It was midnight around.

even… It wasn’t even Korea.

This was LA.

It was very familiar, so I recognized it right away. Because it was the place I had just seen in the status window of Cheongryeo!

This venue was the place where VTIC had their tour concert.

‘Damn it.’

Originally a sports stadium, the neighborhood had been refurbished with VTIC-related promotional tents and decorations, but the crowds who would have enjoyed it had almost disappeared.

‘What is this again?’

I’m full of spirits.

I limped and tried to lean against the wall, but almost fell.

It was then.

Someone tapped me on the shoulder.

“… … .”

Am I in a situation where I can be seen by others?

I immediately turned my head.

A man with both hands raised was seen under a dark streetlight.

“It looks like you need help from the public authorities.”

“… … .”

I looked at Inyoung standing across from me with a puzzled face.

“I know the embassy number.”

On this side, the person who is still a trainee.

It was a cast iron.
