Chapter 369

If I can’t debut, I’ll get sick to death Episode 369

Once, after doing something he called ‘rebooting’, Keundal started talking actively again.

[Hyung, I think I’m fine!]

Certainly, the pop-up he displayed was stable and not anxious anymore.

But my head is more complicated than ever. I wonder if it’s going to explode like this.

‘Is there a new game system here?’

I was silent for a moment, then slowly opened my mouth.

“therefore… This game status window was created by the system itself, not you.”

[yes… . I just modified it a bit.]

Apparently, in the process of mixing, the system can interfere with the status window, just like the big moon interferes with the system.

‘No, it’s a completely new application.’

Either way, it’s not a pleasant thing. … But there is a curious point.

I touched my chin.

“Why does this look like Section 127?”

Yes. No matter where you saw this ‘colleague gathering’, the items overlap strangely, starting with the interface.

The game we collaborated on.

[That’s me! I wanted him to be familiar with me, at least in the form of a game… I followed it.]

“Really? … thanks.”

If so, it means that the structure and content itself were originally intended to be provided by the system.

‘It’s embarrassing.’

I looked through the holograms one by one, frowning.

First of all, the notation of the status window is similar to the previous one.

[Player: Ryu Gun-woo (Park Moon-dae)]

Singing: A+

Dance: B

Appearance: A

Talent: A-

Attribute: Infinite potential

Until the next awakening opportunity / Exp 1000

Attributes disappeared and all stats went down in rank, but they are still ignored if age is considered It was a report card that was ignored.

‘It’s an all-rounder with nothing to throw away.’

Perhaps this is my original ability without any system corrections that I have received so far? The situation seems like garbage to be proud of, so let’s pass it on.

The problem comes after that.

[Recruited colleague: Shin Jae-hyun]

Until the next recruitment opportunity / Exp 1000

Why is this bastard listed here?

Before that, what was the meaning of recruiting substitute colleagues? What else is Awakening?

I asked Keundal a few more questions, but I’m not sure if he’s confused too.

‘It can’t be helped.’

I can’t even guess what happened to this guy in reality right now. I couldn’t expect more help from this guy.

What I don’t have, I fill it with my head.

I lay in my embarrassingly good bed and thought.

A combination of clues once there.

‘… Think of it as .’

There, leveling up was called awakening.

Until the next awakening opportunity / Exp 1000

This must be the one displayed at the bottom of my status window.

Whenever you awaken, you get a random ability or skill. I heard that the choice actions I’ve made so far are accumulated probabilities.

If Daedal had properly implemented that mechanism, it would be similar here. And here, the experience used for awakening… 〈Prestige Exp〉.

‘It’s obvious.’

If you become famous, get awards, and get good grades, you will be kicked. It is no different from reorganizing the system when I was in Bakmundae to make it easier and easier to understand.

In a word, the number of targets is visible.

‘I’m asking you to debut.’

What this system wants is my debut in this world, no matter who sees it.

It means to debut, build up a reputation, and go out comfortably than last time.

‘It’s like I’m just going to stick with it and live here.’

It was an offensively blatant suggestion.

‘Did I turn?’

You know what you’re going to do and live like this here. and… … .

‘… There are so many of them in reality.’

I couldn’t throw it all away. never.

I closed my eyes.

It was rather nice to have plans for what to do tomorrow. Because there was no time to waste energy with useless worries and thoughts.

* * *

The next morning.

I had a meal with young Liu Cheng-wu.

“… … .”

no… Originally, this is what I do at the dorm, but since I eat like this without people around, it really feels like a corner of the house.

Ryu Cheong-wu has a comfortable and casual expression, as if he is used to silence.

‘The big moon is said to be resting.’

It seemed to be some kind of sleep from exerting too much force. it’s quieter thanks

“I’m going.”

“Goodbye, see you in the evening.”

Instead of persistently asking him questions to get information, I easily left the house, but this one was good value for money.

It was because I was thinking of going to the service center on this road and unlocking the smartphone.

‘There must be information in it.’

Data don’t lie.

And the service center canceled the lock pattern in 15 minutes. That’s neat.

‘This is the correct answer.’

If this bastard were me, I would have set up a security option that evaporates data if the pattern is incorrect, so I didn’t even try several times recklessly.

I opened my smartphone with a cool feeling.

“hmm.”

First of all, there is nothing special in the KakaoTalk history. There are only traces of a group message room mainly for motivation for group assignments.

‘… … Cheong-rye is the latest contact.’

How did this kid’s interpersonal relationship turn out? Even the photography club was temporarily withdrawn.

[Speaker Lee Yu-jin: Mr. Ryu Gun-woo?? Did you quit the photo club? Why didn’t you come?]

[Because something I wanted to do]

[Speaker Lee Yu-jin: ??? ㅇㅋ ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ]

Judging from the conversation with the guy who introduced me to the data arm job, what I want to do here must be an idol.

And maybe… The method is street casting during direct camera shooting.

[LeTi 16th class Shin Jae-hyun: I am Shin Jae-hyun who went to the Dream Concert with Lee Yong-jae. will you remember? Please take good care of me in the future hyung ^^]

This is the first message with Cheongryeo. Perhaps it was from this time.

‘… It’s only three months ago.’

Then it is said that he was put in the debut group as soon as he was picked up.

‘It’s hard to find a usable vocalist.’

Even Cheong Ryeo compromised on the main vocal, so he didn’t have an accident.

‘I understand the causal relationship, next.’

… … Ryu Chung-woo.

I went through the history of messages exchanged with him.

[Ryu Chung-woo: Soft tofu stew in the Engineering Building?]

[ㅇㅇ]

He was 21 years old, not 20.

‘I guess so.’

There are traces of knowing Ryu Gun-woo’s college life for a year, so this guy of the same age is the same.

and… Just like in real life, Ryu Cheng-wu here had also given up archery.

However, the aftermath of the injury did not occur, and it was a case of simply choosing to go to college with his own will.

‘I won the gold medal.’

[Ryu Chung-woo: I thought it would be fun to do more academic research.]

Ryu Chung-woo just chose what he wanted to do from among the open options.

‘then.’

… Isn’t this a happier world for him?

I stood still for a while holding my smartphone.

I guess I was confused. too… Isn’t that a good option for everyone?

‘no.’

That’s because it’s a dream.

Every time the status window pops up, the English sentence at the top says it’s real, but I can’t believe it.

‘Still, it’s better than being in a trashy situation.’

During daydreaming, wasn’t every bastard he met mentally out of his mind? I threw away my thoughts and looked at KakaoTalk again.

And scroll bar down.

get off… come over

I saw.

[My family]

‘Ah.’

… … A family chat room.

I didn’t delete my parents’ contacts from my phone until I graduated college.

After confirming that the number had been passed on to someone else, I deleted it.

And at this point… It seems that I was doing something meaningless by digging up a message room like this and writing a message.

‘X-foot’

But somewhere in the corner of my head someone is talking.

In a world where everything goes well, maybe… .

“… … .”

I entered the room with the last message, ‘Okay’.

And saw.

[Mom: Don’t skip meals, eat well, right?]

The messages we exchanged last month.

“… !”

I hurriedly clicked on the profile. An introductory note was written, “The reply is very slow because I am abroad.” see a picture of a flower

And the number below it.

I pressed call.

Tiririk.

Strange basic notes are connected and time passes, and no logic is connected in the head.

And the moment the connection sound is cut off.

-Are you Gunwoo?

My throat is blocked.

From one day, I couldn’t remember exactly, but a familiar voice gently flows through the phone.

-Gunwu, what’s wrong?

“that… .”

I swallowed.

My smartphone vibrates and my ears are pressed.

“I just want to hear your voice.”

– What’s wrong with our son!

The voice grew. And, as if pleased, the end rises.

And the memories come later.

You originally said it in this tone.

– I’m glad I got a call right now. Every time I used a walkie-talkie in Antarctica, the timing was perfect.

This time the voice lowers again.

-I’m sorry, I miss you so much, Mom and Dad.

damn damn

“Yes, me too.”

What am I talking about?

– Oh, really, what’s the matter? Puberty is over! our son Mommy has to go now.

My eyes hurt.

-Then, I’ll definitely see you at Christmas this year. Understand?

“yes.”

The call was cut off like a mirage. However, the call history is clear.

[01:04]

Like this is real.

“… … .”

My hands are shaking.

Thoughts expand like crazy.

where did you say Antarctica?

Go back to the message room. There are traces of parents who went to the Antarctic base for 2 years for research purposes and kept in touch for 1 year… .

And since I became a member of the wintering crew this year, I even said that it is difficult to contact them often.

“… … .”

Antarctica.

Ideas are stamped into the brain like an awl.

‘Wouldn’t it be all right if I went?’

There is no coercion like status ailments anymore. It was okay for me not to debut here.

If you go on a leave of absence like this and make an excuse somehow and visit me saying you wanted to see me… … Even if you go there, you won’t come out to see your face.

“… … .”

I turned off my smartphone.

And I took a deep breath.

‘no.’

It felt like my brain was going to burst… … .

But discernment comes first. this is handcrafted

Even if you are a researcher, why are your parents suddenly going to Antarctica? it’s all made up

“It is a dream. It’s a dream… … .”

So, since it’s a dream, can’t I do whatever I want? So you can beat them all up and do whatever you want… … .

“shut up.”

Shut up your mouth or your brain.

‘I have to go back.’

I stumbled.

This… I can’t. We need to get out of here as soon as possible.

I can’t stand it.

I turned off my smartphone. Then he put it in his pocket and started walking again.

LeTi Ryu Gun-woo’s agency.

“… … .”

My hands were wet with sweat.

* * *

“You look bad.”

“Okay.”

I replied briefly. Cheongryeo shrugged.

LeTi’s practice was as intense as its name, but today it was a state of practice that was spread out and practiced independently, with almost no training being caught.

“It’s a good time to come back when it rains. Aren’t you practicing as a team?”

“… okay.”

You have to have productive conversations.

And I think it’s true that this guy is insane, but… Even in this crazy situation, the natural equanimity strangely calms people down.

‘Let’s work.’

think only of work Nothing else.

I raised my composure.

“There was nothing special about my house, but what about my junior?”

“A new status window has popped up.”

“Hmm.”

I explained the current situation in as much detail as possible. Because there is no element here that this bastard can turn his back on.

And I thought I would listen to an example to help you understand.

“Have you tried ?”

“I am not very interested in games.”

I thought so.

In any case, Cheong-Ryeo nodded her head rather obediently, as if she had understood the context.

“In the end, you have to gain fame to fully restore your junior’s vocal ability. Hmm.”

“… … .”

that’s the most important thing to you this is it I get it.

Besides, this kid has a sudden rash.

“Do you want to debut right away?”

are you the boss Why is a trainee asking such a question naturally?

‘Is this because he’s a deceased person?’

If the goals match each other, there was no such efficiency.

However, I do not intend to do the careless thing of going straight down the route this system wants.

“for a moment.”

I brought up the quest tab.

[Quest: Fellow Awakening 1/?]

– Recruit and awaken allies.

Allies that can be awakened: ?

Required Reputation: 1000 Exp

Companion Awakening Quest.

And I recall the conversation I had with the big moon yesterday before falling asleep.

-What does it mean to be an awakening companion?

– I don’t know either… Perhaps, as your brother reasoned, it is related to ability level? Because it was like that in Section 127… .

– I guess so.

I thought it might mean that I would have my colleagues level up as a group to make it easier to adapt to this world unconditionally.

Even without coercion.

‘If so, isn’t there a bit of a gap to dig into?’

There is as much space as afterthought.

-Then could you possibly add a little bit here? Just one line of descriptive text at the right level of context.

-… … ! hey a little bit

So I added this explanatory text.

[Awakened comrades remember the previous timeline and grow.]

This is what was in Section 127.

In that game, every time you awaken an ally, you remember the contents of the previous round and become stronger… has a setting.

“… … .”

I clenched my fist.

‘I have to try it.’

Just slightly increase the reputation value to see if it works properly.

I explained the matter to Cheong Ryeo.

And the response is this.

“is it so? all right.”

“… … .”

You say it comes out so smoothly?

“Ugh, the reaction isn’t great. Was it just something you said?”

“No way.”

When this guy cooperates, let’s get the most out of it. I crossed my arms.

“first… I know that a few group 1 trainees are leaked before their debut if they are pardoned by a large company.”

“It is. I do it on purpose.”

I did a search before coming here. For example, Shin Jae-hyun is already well-known among idol fans of the LeTi genealogy.

Just get that level of fame once.

“I should be able to get information similarly.”

“Ah, I’ll post something on the Internet myself?”

I looked at it in disbelief.

“Can you do just that?”

“haha!”

Even knowing this bastard, he is doing this for no reason. In other words, it is difficult to control the attention of Internet writing because it must be accompanied by controversy.

The official route was better than that.

“This company also gives trainees a job.”

There is something that large agencies often do with those who haven’t debuted yet.

For stage experience, it is to set up a senior idol as a dancer or to appear in a music video for recognition.

Mainly seniors of different genders, as long as their fan bases do not overlap.

And, as far as I know, LeTi did quite a bit of that before the mystic line VTIC debuted and overhauled the guidelines.

‘It’s the awards ceremony season.’

At this point in the past, who is the most popular female idol in LeTi? A group with the

‘soft and sweet’

hit song 〈POP☆CON〉.

So, debutant Ryu Kun-woo is a soft and sweet dancer.

“I want you to push that.”

I looked back at the late Shin Jae-hyeon, who must have mastered everything in this agency.

The guy nodded his head calmly, quite confidently.

“Well, I don’t think you need that kind of experience for the main vocal position… Yes. He said he wanted to do that.”

“… … .”

Oh this kid is really not right.
