《Debut or Die Novel MTL》Chapter 93
Advertisement
[
Cheong-ryeo started talking faintly from the beginning.
I deliberately got down on my knees. This is because, in the show, you have to appear as a rookie idol seeking advice from a senior like the sky.
Cheong-ryeo smiled soullessly and told me to sit comfortably a few times, and when he confirmed that it was not easy to open the conversation, he began to answer.
And well, there was a standard answer that everyone worked hard even when they debuted. 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.
I drank the coffee I had left in one shot. The taste is strong because it's the part that sank.
Appropriate flattery is a rookie remark.
I didn't cross the line to the point where it seemed like he was beating up other members.
However, it would have been conveyed to Cheong-ryeo roughly what it meant.
'You did everything you could to select only the ones that fit your taste and formed a team. I know.'
...Indeed, Cheong-ryeo was staring this way.
Well, now you should have figured out the situation.
That's enough to know who's disappointed. I ended the conversation at that point.
Since then, the usual mountain cabin distress has continued.
Continuous landslides and broken back rooms.
And even the creepy news from the radio found in the warehouse.
Hmm, I think I took it well because I was immersed in it. I'll have to watch it later.
Without a hitch, the filming was wrapped up the next morning.
As soon as the shooting was over, it started to rain. It was monsoon rain.
I nodded and greeted the people around me, and at the recommendation of the production team, I took out my smartphone.
And I made a video call.
Doo-doo-doo. Ddu-!
Before long, a familiar face appeared on the screen. ... It's Big Se-jin.
'Why are you coming out first when I called Ryu Chung-woo?'
I heard a thud, and soon the screen was full of TeSTAR members.
'It's worth telling anyone to come out together if they call.'
The production team also said in advance that it would be nice for TeSTAR to come out with a few cuts.

Originally, I was planning to include it in the main shoot, but due to the timing, it was impossible. So, I thought it would probably go into the ending with a small cut like a cookie video.
Even though it's raining, you seem to be listening to all my heartfelt requests. I tried to ignore it, but I responded as mildly as possible to Big Se-jin, thinking about the camera.
The other side was also conscious of the camera and smiled roughly. I made a few more trivial small talk, then ended the video call.
I received a text message from the manager saying that there will be a slight delay in (his) arrival due to sudden heavy rain.
Ah, by the way, the new manager finally came a few days ago. He was younger than my original age.
I bowed my head to Cheong-ryeo, who was talking to me. I could feel a few staff members staring at me sideways.
A writer who was passing by intervened to help.
He praised Park Moon-dae for his good drawing, but he seems to have made a pretty good impression.
Thanks for making things easy.
Cheong-ryeo brought the car, and I explained the situation to the manager and was gladly given permission. There was no afternoon schedule anyway.
'I'm going to go in and sleep right after this.'
In the midst of a pleasant imagination, Cheong-ryeo drove back.
'It's worth getting your own car after 7 years.'
[T/N: Up to this point MD and CR are using formal words when talking to each other.]
I got in the front seat right away. Tuk, as soon as I closed the door and fastened my seat belt, the car started.
Cheong-ryeo did not wait any longer.
[T/N: CR dropped the formalities here.]
Cheong-ryeo laughed and stopped.
...He sounds like a bit of a psychopath?
'Why are you laughing then you're suddenly talking informally?'
I'll have to keep checking to make sure I don't forget to keep an eye on the front just in case. I started paying attention to both conversation and sight.
In any case, it is as if he admitted it himself.
Cheong-ryeo did not answer as if he was speechless, but soon let out a sigh as if the wind was draining.

Then, as if he had lowered the level of his tension a little, he spoke in a slightly relaxed voice.
'......?'
I felt a little out of place.
Cheong-ryeo smiled and tapped the steering wheel lightly.
'I'd rather drive myself.'
The problem is that Park Moon-dae does not have a license. There is no other situation where you can sigh.
...Anyway, I just felt it clearly in the conversation.
'This guy, he can't see the status window.'
It was only after dying and going back that he realized the 'death status abnormality', so this guy didn't have a guide called a status window.
'That's why I couldn't fill in the three attributes.'
It was literally heading straight to the ground.
He has an advantage over me in that he was an idol in the first place and went back to his own body.
If you lie for nothing here, the words start to get twisted. If this guy notices and starts mixing lies, I'll be in trouble too.
Let's tell the truth.
Cheong-ryeo stared at the front without saying a word and murmured softly.
I could see Cheong-ryeo's eyes staring at me with only his eyes in the room mirror [1].
...To be honest, I was terribly frightened.
Cheong-ryeo suddenly spoke in a much lighter tone.
I don't have the slightest idea.
Isn't this pure madness? I think he went crazy trying to rationalize the situation because of the defense mechanism.
However, Cheong-ryeo gave a surprisingly common sense reason. It was a very surprising reason.
It means that there is an end to the status ailment.
'That's why his case was disabled.'
Assuming this statement is correct, let's calculate. So I'm back to 3 years ago......
'4 times. Two of them have already been completed.'
There was a glimmer of hope.
...Of course, how much you could trust this guy was another matter. But I'm satisfied that I got a guy to dig up, and next, let's ask what bothered me.
You're copying me on purpose. It means I have to blurt it out first.
I clicked my tongue.
'Still, I can't talk about the status window right now.'
This guy is usually fine, but he seems to have lost touch with this supernatural situation. Let's not touch anymore. [T/N: Not to say any shocking information anymore.]
Afterwards, we had a quiet meal at a proper Korean restaurant and (I) returned to our accommodation.
'...Finally.'
I was terribly tired after staying up all night having a battle of nerves.
When I opened the front door and went in, people without afternoon schedules popped out here and there waving their hands.
Woah, it's nice to meet these guys. [T/N: HE'S FINALLY HOME!! Y'ALL DON'T KNOW BUT I STARTED CRYING WHEN I WAS TRANSFERRING THE RAWS ON WORD.]
They say you get attached to each other when you see their faces often, but seeing them together every day seems to make me more comfortable.
I grabbed Big Se-jin, who was brushing his teeth and asked.
Of course not.
But somehow, I got into the mood and said it once. Of course, the results were as expected.
But surprisingly, Big Se-jin pointed to the refrigerator.
My expectations... are off the mark.
I shrugged.
This guy's crossing the line these days.
At that moment, the smartphone rang.
Ji-ing.
[VTIC Cheong-ryeo sunbae-nim: Call me if you feel like dying ^^]
Suddenly, I wonder what it would be like if it was just Big Se-jin's behavior.
'First of all, he's much better than this guy.'
[Okay, I got it. Thank you.]
After replying roughly, I went straight to bed as soon as I washed up and left my snacks behind.
After a brief conversation with Lee Se-jin, I closed the blackout curtains and started taking a nap.
This is because there is monitoring that needs to be done in the evening.
The reality travel episode will be aired today.
*********************************************************************
Room Mirror –
T/N: Status ailment and status abnormality(es) are just the same. It just switches on at random times. I'll just edit them again when I have time.
That's it for all the updates for this month! Hopefully, I'll be able to upload 4 chapters next month again. Merry Christmas!!

Transmigration Retiree
"What's that you say? I can never leave this reality ever? Good!" Ed, was a normal man in a world full of superheroes, so he didn't really have too many complaints when that first truck fell on him. After all he'd read enough comics to know that sometimes things just happen. Besides he'd been getting on in years when it happened, and his life till then, though lonely, had more or less been fully lived. The second time around when that one guy pushed him off a cliff for a chalice of immortal ambrosia, wasn't so cool though, and then there was that third time when he was just getting used to life as a lady, and that crazy goddess showed up out of nowhere and started ranting about purging the demon menace....then some other stuff happened and he briefly got to go back to earth before falling into a coma where he adventured in the world of dreams. Then the aliens came, and the dream ended and he was suddenly stuck being the AI Overmind for the whole damn star systm. The aliens died, and because he was all mechanical and what-not he just kind of had to keep on going. Forced to continue collecting the materials and data from countless worlds that were destoryed in the process. Then there was that whole war with the gods business that followed...mostly because of all that world destroying he did because of some fairly faulty programming. Anyway, thankfully someone pulled a "rocks fall" on that whole curfuffle, because by the time he was in control of himself again, things had long gotten out of hand. Now the powers-that-be tell him that he must spend the rest of his existence in single lonely section of the cosmos. Trapped in a single portion of a single universe. And now he weeps...No worries though, these are tears of joy. Hopefully this final unending existence he's been given will be the quiet life he's been looking for.

This Alien AI goes to war with the gods and ends up nearly destroying an entire reality. The Angels condemn the troublemaking AI to life as normal child on a far off world....All truth said, the "AI" couldn't be happier.
