《Debut or Die (MTL)》93

ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ
Cheong Wa Dae began to be cloudy at the end of the day.
"Well, where should I start...….”
"I'll listen carefully."
I knelt on purpose. This is because the show should appear as a rookie idol who asks for advice from a senior like the sky.
Cheong-ra smiled soullessly and said empty words to sit comfortably a few times, and when she confirmed that it was not possible to open the conversation, she began to answer.
"We met as a team at our agency and we got close quickly because we all had good personalities."
And even when we debuted, there was a standard answer that everyone worked hard.
It was obvious, but it was also a virtue that people expected from idols.
Well, I can't let you get away with it like this way.
"I'm very attached to the Testa members now, and Chung Ryeo got along well with the seniors of the same team from the beginning.”
I drank the coffee that was left in a lot left. It's the part that's sunk, so the strong taste makes me realize it.
"Other people who don't know each other met as a team, so everyone got along well without fighting. It's amazing."
“…….”
"I'm sure you're all good people, but I think Chung Ryeo did a great job as a leader. I really respect you."
Moderate flattery is a rookie-like remark.
I didn't go over the line to the point where it seemed like I was hitting other members.
However, it would have been conveyed to Cheongryeo what it roughly implies.
"You used some trick to pick the right ones and team up." I know.'
…and, indeed, Qingqi was staring this way.
"Is that so?"
" Yes."
"I'm embarrassed. It wasn't something like that.”
"No, you're amazing."
"Okay, thank you."
Well, now you've got the picture.
"It's my first time talking like this here, so I don't know how it was."
"It's been a great help. Thank you."
"…Don't mention it."
This is enough to know who's the one who's disappointed. I concluded the conversation at that point.
"Well, then shall we be more comfortable?”
"Yes, thank you."
After that, the ordinary mountain cottage, the distress skit, continued.
Continued landslides and broken back rooms.
And the eerie news from the radio I found in the warehouse.
Well, I think I took it well because I was immersed in it. I'll have to watch it live later.
So without much trouble, the filming was finished the next morning.
* * *
As soon as the shooting was over, it began to rain. It was a rainy season.
"Thank you for your hard work"∼”
I nodded around and took out my smartphone at the recommendation of the production team.
And I made a video call.
Ddu ddu ddu ddu - ddu ddu ddu ddu!
Before long, a familiar face appeared on the screen. It's a big deal.

"I called Ryu Chung-woo, but why are you coming out first?"
[Wow, Park Moondae]]
[Is this Moondae's phone?]]
I heard a thud, and soon the screen was full of testers.
"If you call anyone, it's worth telling them to come out together.’
The production team also said in advance that it would be nice if the testa would come out with a few side legs.
Originally, I was going to put it in the main shoot, but it was impossible due to the timing, so I thought it would end with a small cut like a cookie video.
[Ta-da! Are you done?]]
"Oh, I'm going in now."
[Come carefully]]
[E, That's right. Joe, be careful...]….]
[Bring snacks on the way home]
“…….”
It's raining, but you're asking for a big favor. I tried to ignore it, but I thought of the camera and replied as gently as I could to Big Se-jin.
"Buy yourself some. Let's go in and have some."
[Oh, he's good at answering questions] [Yes!]
They were also conscious of the camera, so they passed it by laughing roughly. I had a few more chatterboxes, and soon ended the video call.
I received a text message from the manager that the arrival was slightly delayed due to the sudden heavy rain.
Oh, for your information, I'm finally the new manager a few days ago. He was younger than my age.
"MOONDAE, aren't you going in?"
"Oh, senior artist."
I bowed my head to the young lady who was talking to me. I could feel a few staff members looking sideways around me.
"My manager said he'll be late, so I'm waiting."
"I guess it's because it's raining. Then why don't you have a meal and go home since lunch will be late?"
"Yes, Mr. Moon. Go home after eating. We're supposed to have a get-together, but we can't because it's raining."
The writer who was passing by intervened and helped.
He praised Park Moon-dae for his good drawing, but he seems to have a pretty good impression.
Thank you for making it easy.
"Then I'll thank you for the food."
"Yes."
Chung-li brought the car, and I explained the situation to the manager and readily got permission. There was no afternoon schedule anyway.
"I'm going to go home and sleep right after this."’
In a pleasant imagination, Chung Ryeo drove back.
"Seven years, you deserve to get your own car."’
"Get in."
"Thank you."
I got on the front seat right away. Tuck, close the door and fasten the seat belt, and the car started immediately.
The request did not wait any longer.
"I don't like wasting time. Let's get straight to the point without taking unnecessary measurements.”
“…….”
"What year did you come from"?
"Starting with you."
"Ha ha."
Chung Ryeo stopped laughing.
…I think you're a little psychotic

"Suddenly, you're laughing while talking informally?"’
I should keep checking to see if I forget to keep my eyes onward. I began to care about both conversation and vision.
In any case, the situation is as good as admitting it with his own mouth.
"I'm past the point. It's of little use. Well, I thought I'd hear about the future.”
"I don't have much to say either."
"What?"
"I was an official student.”
“…….”
Chung-li didn't answer as if he was speechless, and soon breathed a sigh as if the wind were falling out.
And he spoke in a slightly relaxed voice, as if he had lowered the tension a little.
"It's ridiculous. What kind of idol...….”
"If you don't, you'll die.”
"Oh, did you already know that?"
‘…?’
I felt a little out of place.
"When did you know?"
"I tried to let one go, but when I failed, I died."
"…… Where are you sending it?”
"To your own country. I'm going to set up a workshop as soon as I fill three years anyway."
Chung Ryeo laughed and lightly hit the steering wheel.
I'd rather drive.’
The problem is that Park Moon-dae does not have a license. There is a situation where I sigh.
…Anyway, I definitely felt it in the conversation just now.
'Hey, I can't see the status window.’
Seeing that he realized that he was in a "dying state" only after he died and went back, he didn't have a guide called "Status Window."
'That's why you couldn't fill three of them.’
He literally headed to the bare ground.
He was an idol in the first place, but he's more advantageous than me in that he went back to his body.
"When did he die? I think I would have died without debuting at the audition."
If you lie here for no reason, you start to stammer. I'm in trouble when this guy notices and starts to lie.
Let's tell the truth.
"He's not dead yet.”
"……Really? Then how did you know?"
"It's just that I get it. If you don't do your work within the deadline, you die."
“…….”
Chung-li looked ahead without saying a word, and murmured quietly.
"I'm jealous"
“…….”
I could see Chung Ryeo's eyes glancing at me in the room mirror.
…it was frankly grossly creepy.
"This is the perfect time. It must feel like I'm living as the main character."
"...that I might die every time I return my deadline?”
"……Oh, yes. What a difference in perspective...…. Well."
Chung-li suddenly spoke in a lighter tone.
"I think it's kind of a penalty."
"What?"
"If you fail something that you feel like you have to do, you die. Honestly, isn't it bearable? I'm back in the past."
“…….”
I don't have the slightest idea.
Isn't this crazy? I think the defense mechanism is driving you crazy to rationalize the situation
However, Cheong Wa Dae gave surprisingly common sense reasons. It was a very surprising reason.
"I'll pay the bill... It seemed to be given at once, plus the number of years that came back. That."
“……!”
It means that there is an end to more than just the state.
'So, was his thing deactivated?’
Let's calculate on the assumption that this is true. So I've been going back three years...….
"Number four. I've already finished two of them."’
Hope flashed.
…Of course how much you can trust this guy was another matter. Still, I'm satisfied that there's someone to dig up, and next, let's ask what bothered me.
"By the way, how did you know I was back in the past?"
"…Oh, I just got it."
“…….”
You're copying me on purpose. It means to blow it out first.
I clicked my tongue at heart.
But we can't talk about the status window right now.’
This guy is usually fine, but he seems to have lost his touch with this supernatural situation. Let's not touch more today.
"Anyway, it was fun to meet you in many ways. It was a useful experience."
"Yes, sir. Thank you."
"Call me if you have any questions."
"Thank you."
After that, I ate quietly at a proper Korean restaurant and returned to my accommodation.
'...at last.'
I was so tired because I stayed up all night fighting with my wits.
When I opened the front door and entered, people who had no afternoon schedule popped out from here and there and waved their hands.
"Arrived at Moondae~"
"How was the variety show?"
"Well done!"
"……uh, that was fine, thank you."
Wow, it's good to see you guys.
You said you get attached to your face often, but you seem to feel comfortable because you are together every day.
I grabbed big Sejin who was brushing her teeth and asked.
"Snack?"
"Oh, did you believe that, Moondae?”
Of course not.
But somehow, I said it because of the atmosphere. Of course, the result was as expected.
Surprisingly, however, the big Sejin pointed to the refrigerator.
"Check and pick two things you want to eat. I bought them from a convenience store."
“…….”
My prediction... was wrong.
I shrugged my shoulders.
"Thank you."
"Don't mention it. It's supposed to be 3 per person, but since you're on a variety show alone, you deducted one"
“…….”
"Hahaha! I'm kidding! I'm kidding!" It's supposed to be two."
He's crossing the line these days
At that moment, the smartphone rang.
Ji-ing.
[VTIC Chung Ryeo: Call me if you feel like you're going to die ^^]
“…….”
It's just big Se-jin's behavior all of a sudden, so I wonder what it's like.
"It's much better than this guy."
[Yes, sir] [Thank you]
After answering roughly, I left the snack behind and went straight to bed as soon as I washed.
"You're here."
"Yeah. Everything okay?”
"There wasn't. ...to sleep?"
"Yes, I stayed up all night. Can I close the curtains?”
"Yes."
After a short conversation with Lee Se-jin, I started taking a nap with the blackout curtains closed under the agreement.
Because there is monitoring to be done in the evening.
[Testa's Living Together Test! Episode 6]
The reflection of the reality tour was today.

Ætla Verǫld
AV Online was just a flash in the pan—a harsh, experimental land which lost most of its players in mere weeks. Only the dedicated few remained, carving out their destinies in corners of the vast abandoned world. Lily Quinn wasn't one of them. With a career worth millions in the esports world, she didn't have time for a game like Avo—but when an exclusive beta test for the new version showed up on her doorstep, she couldn't say no… as much as she wanted to. Literally hooked into the simulation, Lily reluctantly entered a world beyond anything she'd ever dreamed of. Accompanied by seven other beta testers desperate to save their beloved game, Lily dives into a vibrant, beautiful world, where mystery and adventure waits around every corner. Despite her reservations, Lily finds a joyful escape in Avo, shattering her cold, hollow reality. It was just a game though… until the group discovered they couldn't log out. Trapped in a game with no rules, and surrounded by cutthroat players eager to kill for a quick windfall, Lily and her ragged band have no choice but to fight their way out, or die in a game that has turned all too real. Hi there! I'm setting off on yet another adventure, come join me :3 Unusually for me, there's only one perspective this time, and it's quite a bit more action-oriented than I usually write. Don't worry, though: everything's still as character-driven as always, and I never get tired of writing dialogue. Just to acknowledge it up front: this story is heavily inspired by EVE Online and the many stories generated by that world. However, since this is a fantasy setting, not sci-fi, don't expect any real parallels. Chapter publish rate for this one will be whenever I write them, as with Epilogue. I don't expect to move as fast here though, since it's not for NaNo. The plan is chapters somewhere in the 4k-5k range, and hopefully frequently. The Last Science takes priority as always though. Special thanks to Reaver and Ace Arriande for pushing me to get this going, and to all my fellow writers whom I've stolen from been inspired by. You're all wonderful people and I love you Quick reminder: Patrons get to read ahead of what's published! Also, try my other works: The Last Science — A Tale of Modern Magic Epilogue — A Post-Fantasy Psychodrama What are you still doing on the synopsis? Get to reading!
