Debut or Die

Cheong-Ryeo sees a message pop-up from

Keun-Dal .

Ironically, the one who is most dumbfounded by this situation is the guy who is not here.

That is the person who opened the pop-up.

[Huh uh uh uh uh uh what is this]

“It’s a typo too.”

Cheongryeo clenched her chin as if observing an interesting phenomenon. The big moon squealed again with a pop-up.

[Aaaa!!]

It’s not even a fuss.

I resisted the urge to press my forehead and asked.

“When did you see me?”

“Um, this is the first time.”

Cheong-Ri didn’t even blink and watched the pop-up that started crying for a few more seconds.

And then he said softly.

“That… Isn’t that what you are using your junior’s previous body?”

“… … .”

“Ryu Gun-woo.”

Cheong-rye smiled.

“You seem to have changed your body a while ago, so I’d like to hear an explanation.”

“… !?”

The case where I and Daedal switched bodies.

Isn’t that too? for a moment.

“… Did you notice it at the awards ceremony?”

Somehow, when I zoomed in with the cannon camera and our eyes met, I felt strange.

“that’s right.”

Cheong-ryeo meekly affirmed.

And he tapped his chin with his finger.

“Um, junior-nim… Let’s just say my judgment seemed a bit clouded. Unusually.”

“… … .”

Are you saying that the big moon looked stupid?

‘Watch a guy who knows how to choose words.’

A person who is not in the industry entered the body of an idol, so what kind of person’s judgment are you measuring?

‘after.’

Anyway, I’m in the mood to explain exactly why I did that.

“I did have some work.”

I gave an appropriate summary of the events at the time related to the system fragments nested in the big moon.

Cheongryeo’s reaction to hearing the story was not great.

First of all, it’s probably because all the problems are taken care of at a moderate level instead of crazy things like collapsing buildings.

… Or have you already guessed.

“I see. Oh, did you post the pictures you took on the Internet? I saw you.”

“… … .”

How else did you know… done.

Seeing him smiling and saying thank you for taking a good picture, I run out of words to say.

‘Let’s quit.’

a ghost guy

Anyway, I can only guess one reason why Cheongryeo suddenly looked at the status window.

“I think the fact that you were the GM in the virtual world created by the system has an effect.”

“hmm. It’s convincing.”

Yes.

Cheong-ryeo has a history of being the GM of games created by the system, that is, the game master.

‘I was able to manipulate the settings window and pause the game.’

I got hit in the back of the head with that, but thanks to that, it was a tremendous ability that made it possible to give the system a shot.

‘If the power of the role at that time returned to some extent as I restarted this system… It makes no sense.’

well if so

I have something to try.

“… … .”

I called out a status window pop-up in the air without saying a word.

[New! Update completion reward]

[New! New function open]

[New! Survey]

… … .

to a different location than the pop-up of the big moon.

[brother… ?]

I didn’t react on purpose.

Then, the young woman in front of her opened her mouth.

“It looks like you’re calling your junior.”

“uh. I am sending you a message not to panic.”

So confirmed.

‘Cheongryeo thoroughly responded only to Big Moon’s pop-up.’

then.

‘Can’t you see the status window next to it?’

I checked his attitude once again.

Pupil expression gesture… .

‘… It’s natural.’

Of course, he is a guy who has been successfully engaged in a job that requires extreme facial expression management for several decades.

It’s not entirely possible that it’s a fake, but… … .

I untied my arms.

‘It goes beyond this.’

If you can really see it, why are you determined to hide it to this extent simply because you want to fuck me?

No, I didn’t pretend to be with this bastard that much.

‘I have that level of trust now.’

I concluded that

However, the problem is that the analysis of Cheongryeo has only just begun.

The guy touched the cold air and brushed the surface of the glass with water droplets on it.

“Well then, what juniors call ‘system’ is… It’s not that it completely disappeared, but that it entered several bodies.”

“… … .”

“No matter how spoiled it is, they absorb and use it. Don’t you feel that the risk is too great?”

He raised his gaze from the glass and met my eyes.

Do you apply the system to your company?

-What if you want to ‘restart’?

“… … .”

Those eyes seemed to say so.

It was a certainty that only a guy who had experienced it countless times and established a thought structure could have.

If you use it, you will definitely become addicted.

‘It’s like fanaticism.’

Even though it was summer, a strange bizarre feeling ran up my spine that made my back feel chilly.

To the point where I doubted my judgment when I decided to make good use of the system that turned into my own item.

‘… X feet.’

I sighed.

“I wrote it because I lost T1 and became independent. I don’t want to use it anymore.”

“I see.”

Cheong-Ryeo shrugged her shoulders as if to ask her to do as she pleased, but then she said the next word casually.

“I want to check.”

what?

“Status window?”

“yes.”

Then, one more pop-up pops up as if it’s tempting.

[Are you sure you want to make ‘GM’ the System Administrator?]

Are you crazy?

This bastard doesn’t even know where to fit in.

‘go away.’

Where are you talking about disclosing the source of inside information to a competitor? I immediately deleted the status window.

And I barely opened my mouth.

“Status window called now.”

“is it so? I can’t see either.”

“uh.”

With that, the conversation ended.

But I was rather upset. It’s because I realized something new when I met this guy.

‘I said I would get rid of the company system in front of the truth… .’

Damn, it’s not that I don’t mind.

I remembered looking at Cheongnyeol.

The pop-up that appeared the last time I ran into Kwon Hee-seung.

-‘■■■ Fragments’ owner confirmed!

“… … .”

‘Fragments of ■■■’ must be pieces of the system.

And since it was with Kwon Hee-seung, there is a very high probability that this person who has experienced the same system has some of that fragmented system.

So that’s a problem.

‘This fragment could be absorbed more by raising the company’s rating.’

Substituting this would mean:

-If I shut down this system, of course there will be no company ratings operated by the system.

-If you do, you will not be able to retrieve the ‘Fragments of ■■■’ from Cheongryeo.

… This means that this guy will be hit with a mission failure without a status window.

Since I’m an experienced person, I can’t say that it will be okay… I don’t think so.

‘I don’t know how many times this bastard restarted during that experience.’

Besides, if you do something wrong and the reset syndrome comes back again, there is nothing more terrible than that.

‘Wouldn’t it be possible for me to die if sparks flew out of me?’

furthermore… Wasn’t that guy a decisive help in escaping once when I was hit by an abnormal condition?

from collapsing buildings.

“… … .”

‘OK.’

Yes, I have to decide the line in my conscience.

I concluded

‘Leave the company system as it is.’

But it can’t happen suddenly like last time.

‘At least, we need to figure out the reason and principle of the update that occurs as fragments.’

-Why did the self of the time period before I became Park Moon-dae suddenly appear?

– And why was it Cha Yoo-jin?

effect and target. To that extent,

‘enough preparations should be made and variables should be minimized.’

After that, I need to build a stable structure to recover the fragments without causing a mission failure to this guy.

However, refrain from using the system itself recklessly.

Let’s just watch it without touching it.

‘At least until the big moon finishes the analysis.’

The quiet pop-up flashed again.

[I will do my best… !]

Thank you.

‘I’ll take good care of you.’

[brother… But now I don’t have more money… … .]

“… … .”

[Sorry. No, that’s why hyung made all of these too, so if you feel comfortable using them… .]

OK.

We saw a dramatic agreement with pop-up concert invitation seats.

For reference, Cheongryeo looks at the pop-up from the side with interest and asks a few questions.

Anyway, it’s a story about work.

“Ah, I heard that your junior group is filming a reality entertainment program this time.”

Did you leak that too?

“Well, by the way, the director who originally worked with my junior… It must belong to a studio affiliated with T1.”

“uh.”

From that hotteok-selling travelogue to that house’s grandson’s carrot coin, the entertainment crews are all caught up in T1.

So I was very fed up.

Cheongryeo smiles and speaks softly.

“Can I introduce you to someone nice?”

oh.

I decided to eat this baby.

“The recruitment is already over.”

Be content with a paid platform for behind-the-scenes content, man.

Because the person we recruited was… .

* * *

“… hello.”

“Wow, hello, author!”

Across from Testa who greets them energetically, the main writer in charge of the reality show for this testa is sitting.

With a smile, Sejin asked for a handshake.

“It’s been a while!”

“Ah yes.”

Ryu Serin.

He is the same person who was the writer of < Azusa >.

In addition, a blood relationship with my college senior and twin hometown Ryu Seo-jin… But think about this later.

In any case, this man is one of the most important producers recruited for this testa reality.

And for two very simple reasons.

first.

“It’s nice to be able to work with the writer again like this.”

“… Oh yes.”

This is also because T1 was beaten.

Why did this person who was a contributor to the < Azusa > series get kicked out?

‘It’s because we all debuted there and flew independently.’

Of course, it seems that there was not only that, but there was a complicated broadcast line fight related to the political world.

And the sub-writer, who was a freelancer, was entangled in the fierce intra-company political battle, and half of the rice bowl was taken away.

‘Of course, I think it would have been possible to stick to that man’s personality.’

I don’t think so.

Because there was no need for that.

It seemed that he had collaborated with Netplus a few times and had hits, building up a network there, and turning his career there.

By the way, we also participated in the first work.

that… Inferno KPOP camp.

“How many years has it been since then?”

“It’s been quite a while. I was grateful then.”

Ryu Seo-rin nodded. They even gave lip service saying that it went well thanks to the testers.

Of course, that’s not why I work with that person.

The second reason is… .

“so… I mean this reality.”

Well done.

He was a writer who was good at creating entertainment, whether he sacrificed contestants to the viewers or created narrative points to turn a 1-point impression into a 10-point scale.

People’s eyes were also good.

That is to say, there was no other suitable person for Testa to partner with.

“You don’t want a cute reality program that is usually produced by idols, right?”

If that’s the case, it means to look elsewhere.

Liu Qingyu nodded at once.

“yes. In the past, reality programs have been progressing in a way that is fun even if it takes more effort and more time.”

“Yes.”

Ryu Seo-rin answered without hesitation.

“Then, why don’t you go for a selection similar to that PD’s style? I also know the writers there.”

Confidence was felt in Ryu Seo-jin’s soft voice.

‘also.’

It will give you the right atmosphere without being clumsy.

It’s an atmosphere of fun teasing and cheating on the cast.

Moreover, since we have already selected the PD’s production crew and variety show several times, there is a high probability that the public will be generous with it, saying that this is the testa style.

but.

“no.”

“hmm?”

Still, I don’t think I can avoid the story that it’s like an imitation work.

‘This isn’t Ryu Seo-rin’s major.’

Of course, the originality will be lower than that of the crazy production crew, and there is no need to risk it.

So that’s it.

“Please do as you normally would.”

“… !”

Everyone should do what they do best.

Ryu Seo-rin narrowed her eyes and asked with a ‘no way’ attitude.

“If that’s what I was originally doing… .”

“yes.”

“… … .”

Isn’t there a representative example that we all know?

This testa reality goes like that.

“Like < Azusa >.”

Soon, Ryu Seo-jin’s expression became what crazy he was talking about.

But investors always have a strong say.

A few days later.

Testa’s reality shoot began as scheduled.

* * *

I opened my eyes.

What you see is a familiar ceiling.

It’s the accommodation I’ve been seeing for years… it’s my room

“… … .”

It sounds natural at first glance.

Isn’t it very normal to see the familiar ceiling when you open your closed eyes?

And there is one more premise here.

‘Testa has moved.’

In other words, this place was not Testa’s current accommodation.

A space that looks like a lodging before moving.

“what.”

I got up.

There was something on top of my stomach in a dark room.

“… ?”

It is a yellow file.

I squinted my eyes for the dark enemy and deliberately read the cover of the file aloud so that the camera could catch it.

“Your profile file.”

and unfolded

[Your job is a doctor.]

And below that, descriptions and characteristics were written.

hmm.

‘It’s like this.’

In fact, Testa deliberately did not listen to the detailed briefing on the detailed settings inside the program.

for reality.

It only knows the format and purpose.

“Where are you writing it?”

I got up from the bed, speaking with my mouth.

In my head, the lines I said at the group meeting when I invited Ryu Seo-rin were rewinding again.

-You already know because we are experienced people.

Testa’s concept for this reality program.

-That writer’s survival story is fun.

It’s Death Survival.
