“…….”

I made eye contact with my opponent. And murmured softly.

"…I think I'll remember every time I record from now on."

"Haha!"

Chung Ryeo waved her hand.

"You don't have to worry. Actually, I just made it up. It's a little bit of a transformation of the studio ghost story."

"……Well, I see.”

"But you know that ghost stories in the recording studio are real, right?”

“……!”

Cheong-rae laughed a few times and talked about dogs, and then disappeared, saying he would wash up.

"...Whoo"

It went over.

I tried not to put on a fed up.

'I'm sure I know him.’

This bastard who knew about the damn state window or regression had opened me up with a ghostly smoke screen.

"How do you know that?"’

It wasn't a sign of certainty. I mean, I didn't check my condition directly... So you deduced it based on the circumstances with background knowledge?

…No, this is also ambiguous.

'There are so many uncertainties.’

I wiped a cold sweat off my forehead pretending to tidy up my hair. And we decided on the next move.

Soon Chung-li was back.

"I'm glad I brought a rechargeable electric port. Use a moderate mix of cold water."

"Oh, thank you very much."

I received a cylindrical device with a green thumb.

It wasn't a thermos, it was an electric pot.

"No wonder Americano was boiling."’

I did what I had to do, admiring the production team who made me only cold water to pack unnecessary details.

"Status window."

First, check his status window.

In terms of tendency so far, beyond characteristics and conditions, there were usually hints to guess what kind of person the person was.

There's nothing to lose by checking.’

But as soon as the pop-up pops up.

An unexpected hint came in.

[Name: Chung Ryeo (Shin Jae Hyun)]

He is currently impossible to confirm.

필요Necessary conditions: Check the second 'truth'

“……!”

I turned right in the direction of the bathroom.

It was to hide the agitation.

Then I slowly moved to the bathroom, and closed the door.

“…….”

There was no camera in the bathroom.

"Whoa..."

But the microphone is still attached. I checked the status window again, keeping my mouth shut, so that I wouldn't be talking nonsense.

[*Requirement: Second "Truth" check]

I didn't misread it.

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

"Are you pushing me?"’

Or maybe he's really asking because he's tied to this situation.

"It's like watching content with a level limit in the game."

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

"...Start the abnormal condition again with this uncertain hint?"

It was crazy. That's why I felt more uncomfortable.

"I could use more extreme measures to urge you.’

What if the status window is waving a carrot because he really has a clue?

“…….”

Let's decide.

'Anyway, you can't live with a status abnormality.’

My guess that the abnormal condition would disappear if I clear it as it is was technically a happy circuit.

And no matter how much I put this off, it's 300 days. After that, compensation must be received.

"I'd rather get what I can get now."’

I didn't know how Cheongryeo would come out after this timing. I'd rather finish it when we're exploring each other.

'...pop-up.'

[Successful first place!]

You won first place on the public music show !

!Limited time: Satisfied (great success)

!Status abnormality: Remove 'No.1 or Death'!

: Check the truth 👈 Click!

I slowly raised my hand, and put it to 'Click!

And my vision was blacked out like last time.

the roof of a building with a cold wind

“…….”

A man was biting a cigarette. The chilly winter wind scatters the smoke.

I might cough in the cold air, but the man didn't bat an eyelid.

I just looked down in a flamboyant There was a shining night view. An advertisement was coming out on the opposite electronic display.

It was the brand he once shot.

To be exact, his group.

Where did it get twisted...…’

The man was suddenly lost in thought while looking at the color of the colorful video.

Going overseas at the wrong time? Concept that doesn't go with the current? Members who lost their motivation? The investors of the agency who only put in unnecessary wind?

“…….”

And I came to a conclusion.

'It went wrong from the start.’

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

No, it's not useless, it's disturbing.

"If I had planned it, I wouldn't have done it like this."’

He finally admitted. I lived in the wrong place.

"Sentiment, tears." I only use it when I sell them all.’

People want to sit when they stand and lie down when they sit. Personal reasons, inevitable stories... It's just an excuse to talk about it and sell it cheap.

“…….”

I felt better after admitting it. The man grinned and threw the burnt cocoon into the sky.

And just as it was, it fell down the railing.

It's shaking.

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

But when a man comes to his senses.

“…!!”

He opened his eyes in the small room of the family.

"……what."

The old cell phone screen he picked up showed the boy's face.

He was himself before the green light.

* * *

"Oh my god"

I took a breath and came to my senses.

And I turned on the water right away.

(Singing "Squeaking.

Cold water poured out with a creak. I immediately splashed water on my face.

“…….”

It was the same as when we did "Park Moon Dae. This composition that looks into a person's past from a third-party point of view.

And… this guy is definitely green.

"Oh, my gosh."

He's back in the past.

Even if you put it together roughly, you seem to have succeeded because you put your career in it and came back.

I thought it was perfect for the plot of the web novel, so I laughed, but before that, I got angry.

'So you've stopped him from checking the status window...!’

If you check it through the status window, the "truth" compensation is meaningless.

No, more than that, why on earth is this a reward?

Park Moon-dae's past was directly related to my situation, so I was willing to do so.

However, no matter what Cheongryeo said, what does it have to do with me? Why do you grandiosely give it as a "reward"?

'I'm just gonna give you a hint about the state of things...!’

…the rising anger finally subsided after a considerable amount of time in the cold water. And I managed to draw a reasonable conclusion.

'...that means you can get a hint.’

If you can get information from this strange supernatural experience, you will definitely understand how things are going.

In that sense, the status window seems to give you hints step by step as if you're playing a game

Ring.

["Award or Death"]

: If you don't win the Rookie of the Year award at the most prestigious domestic award ceremony within a fixed period of time, you die

Duration Remaining: D-365

…and when I see you goofing off, I feel like you just want me to suffer.

'But it's better this time.’

Even the Rookie of the Year award is likely to be won unless something unusual happens.

I care about that vague 'authoritative' standard, but the candidate... Well, it's three. In terms of objective performance, there is no way to lose.

With the trend of having a hard time taking care of popularity these days, it is impossible for any rookie to surpass the testa from "Aju-sa" no matter what debuts in the second half of the year.

"It's harder to win first place on public TV."

I wiped the water off my face, a little authentic.

And I walked out of the bathroom with the port I received from Chung Ryeo in my hand.

"Well written. Thank you very much."

"Thanks are fine, and I'm glad you wrote it well."

I returned the port and sat opposite Cheongnyo.

And I took out some snacks from my backpack.

"I have to stay up all night, so why don't you have something sweet if you don't mind?"

"Oh, thank you."

He took the request right away, but he pretended to open it and didn't eat it.

I don't know if you're managing or being wary.’

I pretended to rummage through my backpack, and checked the status window of Cheong Ryeo again.

This time, it came out properly.

[Name: Chung Ryeo (Shin Jae Hyun)]

Singing: B+ (B+)

Dance: S+ (S+)

Appearance: A+ (S-)

Talent: A (A+)

Characteristics: Emotions (A)

!Status abnormality : Calibration (disable)

"Are you crazy?"

What kind of stats are you?

I was going to check the characteristics first, but my eyes went away by themselves. I almost chewed my tongue.

'But the potential is not infinite.’

The vague prediction that the limit of all stats would be EX was wrong.

Anyway, let's get a grip and see what we were going to check.

Let's start with the characteristics.

[Feeling (A)]

: It's rare to be valuable, and it's full of trash.

- Human resource judgment +150%

'What a talent like a businessman.’

If the "truth" recollection you saw earlier is true, it may be a talent obtained by recalling life before death.

However, what bothers me is that there is only one characteristic.

"Was there anything like picking a trait?"’

…the difference from me was quite clear.

Anyway, let's move on.

This time it's out of shape.

[Correction (deactivation)]

: Let's do it again

- If you fail, go back to the beginning.

I got goose bumps.

And I just remembered a conversation.

- I'm trying my best to become a successful idol without controversy. What's wrong with this? I keep dying in accidents and going back to the past!

"The ghost stories of idols that you talked about..." Was it about you?’

If it fails to remove abnormalities in the "~~~~~~~~" kind of condition, will it return to the time when the status window was first created?

It was an eerie deduction.

However, the abnormal condition was 'inactivated'.

That alone was a great harvest. It means there's a way to deactivate it.

"I'm done organizing."

The following is a further investigation.

I put down my luggage and stared at Chung Ryeo again.

"Are you done checking your snacks?”

"Yeah. Nothing special."

"Ha ha."

You still don't know, do you?

As expected, he doesn't know much about me. I was just trying to get it.

Then it means that this side has an edge in information power, so it's my turn to ask.

Get robbed.

"Hmm... Senior, may I ask for your advice?"

"Of course. I don't know if I can give you any advice, but... Do you have any concerns?"

"Yes, I mean… How did you start with your teammates?”

"…well, what if it's a start?”

I brought a cold coffee, and took a slow sip on purpose. And he went on slowly.

"Our team's formation process was unique, so... I think there's a strong consensus on that, but I'm curious about the other groups."

"…Is that so?"

"Yes, VTIC, how did you debut together?"”

“…….”

Obviously in the 'truth' recollection, this guy picked 'members' as the root cause of VTIC's failure.

'I'm sure this punk changed the members in the middle.’

I don't know what a trainee did, but it's almost a definite guess.

Currently, VTIC is strong and lives well as a top tier without much controversy.

"Well, that's an interesting question."

Chung Ryeo smiled and lifted the snack I gave her.

The nuts were chewed away with a crack. I waited silently for an answer with a serious face.

Come on, be agitated.
