《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!!

The Voice of the World
Jason Elric used to be an ordinary college student living in the heart of San Francisco. He had a part time job, he played online games with friends he got along moderately well with, and he earned reasonably good grades. The worst he really had to worry about in life was turning in his coursework on time and not being late to class. Now, though? Now fighting for his life and running from a horde of giant frogs that want to make him their next meal is just another Tuesday. Thanks to a summoning ritual gone terribly right, Jason has found himself trapped in a world eerily similar to the role playing games games he used to play for fun. Unfortunately for the now ex-college student, everything happening around him is terrifyingly real and if he wants to survive, he’ll have to figure out how to exploit the system for his benefit before it’s too late. The Voice of the World is the first part of what is planned to be a multi-book, Isekai LitRPG story with crafting elements, set in the fantasy world known as Verdania. This is my first time posting online for public consumption, so bear with me as I work to find a style that people like. While I may occasionally write scenes that may deal with heavy concepts, expect this story to be primarily light hearted high fantasy. There will be a lot of common fantasy tropes involved, as this story got its start as a simple practice exercise, rather than any plan to actually post it. However, it’s grown on me, so I felt it’s worth sharing after all. Thus, if you’re looking for more serious/original/unusual stories, you might want to look elsewhere. For the rest of you, feel free to leave suggestions, as well as to point out grammar and spelling mistakes; I’ll do my best to make edits to correct them. I do my own editing currently, and it’s easy to miss things when you know what’s supposed to be there, so such call outs are highly encouraged. Content TLDR: No harems, probably no romance (unless it makes sense for the story later on) (it did, eventually), definitely no sex (keeping this PG-13 or close to it), limited profanity. Does/Will contain mixes of magic and technology (think Warhammer, Final Fantasy); copious amounts of blue tables; race, gender, and sexual equality concepts; crafting sequences; and (slightly, but not overbearingly) strong protagonists. If you don’t like these things, go elsewhere instead of downvoting people for content instead of writing quality. Update Time currently varies, due to personal injury, but the goal is 1/week on Wednesdays, with a possible smaller chapter on weekends if time/health permits.
8 293Sir Skelliton
Necromancy is an old but simple practice. To be a necrotic spell master requires only three things. Magic, a limitless yet difficult power to master. Raise undead, one of the first and most basic spells any magic user will ever learn across their lifetimes. An open class slot. But this isn’t a story about an up and coming necromancer. No this is about the faithful minion that’s been summoned by their fledgling master. If you think being a Necromancer is hard, just imagine how hard it must be for a Lv1 Skeleton.
8 209Reid Ghealach - Home
Reid Ghealach is a werewolf who has been living as a loner for the past ten years after his own pack chased him away.

As he deals with the pack that has always hated him in a city full of memories he would rather not think about, he uncovers that his hometown has become full of scheming creatures, all aiming to destroy the pack he once called his own. Warning: it's a M/M romance (BL) and there is a bit of homophobia involved
8 237Terror Infinity Remake
The original had a really good idea, but the execution was a bit lacking, I'm making my own Terror Infinity fanfic and you the reader can be a part of it after each mission ends, you will have 1 month to help me plan ahead, I've already a skeleton ready for what will happen, what I don't have are the juicy details that will make this into something worth reading, worth your time.
