Debut or Die

Chapter 446

If you can’t debut, you’ll die from an illness Episode 446

[That hyung, but why are you Judan-nim?]

VTIC Judan.

Why did this guy pop out of the list of brains to use all of a sudden?

‘To be honest… There are not many candidates.’

[…] … Ah.]

Wasn’t it that I was talking about the situation here and there in the first place?

My body changes, I return to the past, and the system… . I’m not stupid enough to talk about this crazy thing all over the place.

There are only a handful of people who were caught up in the incident and had no choice but to share the situation a little.

‘And he’s the one who seemed to have the most resistance to this kind of thing out of all of them.’

a little… It’s a strange guy, but I think it might be helpful.

He said that he contacted Joo-dan with the thought that it would be worthwhile to make ends meet.

First, out of courtesy, I asked what was going on.

“How is your military life, senior?”

– There is quite a bit to talk about the efficiency of the conscription system, but I will omit it.

“… … Um yes.”

I’m starting to wonder how that guy will be treated in the unit.

But I decided to take care of my problems.

Let’s see… .

‘Because it’s a dormitory, there must be people eavesdropping on it.’

Even if you pretend not to be on the phone with a celebrity, wouldn’t you be interested if anyone could hear it?

The subject must be misunderstood.

“Actually, while I was playing ‘game’, I contacted you because I wanted to ask you something about this ‘system’.”

I brought up the system problem only after laying the groundwork for ‘contacting lightly because of hobbies, it’s a family law like a psychological test’.

Roughly speaking, the mission failed and the body changed and such and such a status message appeared… .

After exchanging several questions and answers, the guy eventually responded like this.

-Body switching… It’s a romantic comedy cliché. It’s not something I’m familiar with.

“… … .”

Should I quit?

‘Be patient.’

I have to use this guy’s brain, so I endure it for once.

“It’s rather good because I wanted to hear the unique position of a third person. What do you think?”

There was silence for a moment.

And after a while, Judan spoke up.

An idea I hadn’t even imagined.

-Have you considered the possibility that there was no mission in the first place?

what?

* * *

A few days after that.

Testa’s last-minute preparations for the comeback went smoothly without any major disturbances.

Originally, it was an album of tidal waves, so I tried to go hard because I was tired, but considering that the last album was also quite strong, ‘Savior’, I lowered the maniac concentration.

‘It was a Haetae concept.’

I need to adjust the tempo once to bring it out again.

A stylish song popular with the mini-album volume.

So the concept… .

“American public high school style teen!”

It is the standard of an idol.

… yeah i won’t lie

I decided to do it when I was still at an age where I could do it shamelessly.

“Ah~ We aren’t old enough to naturally digest things like this. black so sad I need to manage it better~”

“Even actors in their 30s are good at playing high school students. Don’t be too extreme.”

“iced coffee… um yep Yes.”

For your information, Sun Ah-hyun took care of this situation that Tikitaka couldn’t do.

“Everyone looked good in their costumes and looked like high school students… ! The stage will be great too.”

“Ah~ That’s right, I can guarantee that!”

okay. I did it right.

[oh… There is no need to be childish like this.]

Cha Yu-jin was invited to the music video and stage verification. He was so excited to even decide the role.

Everything went smoothly and according to schedule and continues to do so.

“The changing problem of Moondaemun University is… .”

“You don’t have to worry about it now. Hang in there.”

“… okay.”

So the preparations for the comeback went smoothly.

There were no problems.

But I didn’t forget the status window.

And the day I saw this a few days later.

[Suddenly!]

Abnormal state mission failed: Return to original state (2)

-Everything returned to original state as if nothing had happened

: Until the next start D-?

I realized information.

‘The big moon.’

[Yeah??]

I took a deep breath.

“I knew the date changed.”

[…] !!]

“Look at the status window. You can see that ‘D-??’ has changed to ‘D-?’”

I picked it up with my finger.

It counts down one by one, but it means that two digits have changed to single digits.

The transition from 10 to 9.

“Nine days left.”

And if it’s the same time as last time… .

“maybe… It will most likely be around 11:00 that night.”

On the night of January 21st.

Fortunately, it was just before the comeback stage. I diligently reviewed the schedule for the day in my head.

[then… Do you cut out your schedule at that time?]

“… … .”

Here’s the hard part.

“No, you can’t do that.”

[…] !]

“I go to work as Gunwoo Ryu and you manage your schedule as Park Moon.”

I said slowly.

“That’s what we have to do on the day.”

[Why why?]

“Because that seems like a way to end the mission failure effect.”

I remembered a conversation I had with Ju Dan a few days ago.

that nonsense.

-… no mission?

-yes. It is an empty narrative that says that there was no real culprit while trying to remove the culprit. It’s so common now that it’s become a cliché that breaks the cliché.

honestly that… I couldn’t agree with the grotesque logic.

However, the sentence itself suddenly sparked an idea the moment I heard it.

“You turned my status ailment failure into a mission failure. So the system never considered that it was a mission in the first place. Originally, it was just an abnormal condition.”

and.

“Originally, ‘mission’ is… It means the goal I set on my own through the status window in order to receive rewards.”

Through the characteristic ‘Mission constitution’ given by this guy.

“But you can’t make it in the first place.”

The popup paused for a moment.

“Because you don’t have a status window.”

So, for Keundal, a mission is a concept that cannot exist.

[therefore… The mission… … There is none.]

Yes.

‘The mission itself doesn’t exist, but the moment the mission failure pops up, it becomes compulsory.’

The algorithm is twisted because it is blindly replaced.

therefore.

“Now, mission failure will happen unconditionally.”

instead of solving missions that don’t exist.

“The approach should be to release the target when the failure effect occurs.”

-… According to your theory, it seems like the strategy you did during the building escape game is the right strategy.

Just as I escaped from a collapsing building and the ‘target’ of the system was lost.

Instead of guessing at a mission that didn’t exist in the first place, it’s about focusing on what happened after the mission failed.

‘Then the situation was revealed very clearly.’

I chuckled.

“Do you remember what we did when we switched bodies?”

[Uh, I was a testa, and my brother followed me as a road manager… .]

“Right.”

So let me explain this again.

“You have properly lived the original daily life of ‘Park Moon-dae’ and I have escaped from the original daily life of ‘Ryu Gun-woo’.”

[…] !]

“So it seems that only Park Moon-dae was released from the target.”

Like this.

[Target target ‘Park Moon-dae (1 / 2)’ lost]

[Unlocked]

[Remaining target: Ryu Gun-woo (2 / 2)]

Then the goal is clear.

“It makes us mistaken that we are living our lives properly without changing. So you just have to lose the target.”

The big moon did not answer for a while.

And soon a pop-up appeared.

[Then, I will live as Testa Moon-Daero Park and Hyung-Woo Ryu, a civil servant… !]

That’s right.

I nodded.

‘This is correct.’

I was relieved to come to a perfect conclusion. The timing was right.

‘Now, if you do it right… .’

[Wow, I think it was a really wise decision for Hyung to contact Ju Dan! I think Judan-nim is a good person!]

“… … .”

hmm.

that… a little.

After hearing a good answer from him, I asked him a question, ‘Which girl groups are popular in the fortress army?’

And I got this answer.

-I don’t know. After work, each person can access modern civilization with a smartphone, but there is no need to be immersed in mass media such as TV.

-… … .

-Of course, the scope of use is controlled for security purposes.

-yes.

There is a guy who says that girl groups that you watch on TV aren’t the trend as before, because you’re using a smart phone.

-Ah, please say hello to Jaehyun.

Besides, I don’t know why he told me this. Isn’t that your group leader?

anyway what… Even if you don’t contact me, you will see it somewhere. Because it’s awards season.

I held back a sigh as I finished reminiscing about what I had said with Zhu Dan.

“… It was helpful. okay. So if we change on the night of the 21st, I think we should talk a little bit about what I will do when I go to work on the 22nd.”

[Oh, I don’t go to work that day!]

“… ? Oh, I guess.”

Since the 21st is Saturday… The next day must be Sunday. I nodded.

Will things be much easier?

“Then, I will continue what you originally intended to do that day, so tell me what you were trying to do.”

[hmm… I was thinking of resting without doing anything else on Sunday!]

For some reason, it seemed like that.

However, the next words were unexpected.

[By the way, on Saturday night… . I guess I’ll be out then.]

This guy at 11:00 at night?

“okay. What is it?”

And a completely unexpected answer came back.

[actually… I’m going to a fan signing event!]

“… … .”

why do you come there… ?

‘No wait.’

yes i am on saturday… There is a fan signing event schedule. Specifically, Testa.

– Five-star AI assistant ‘Curious Vega’ advertising model Testa fan signing event!

It’s an advertising model fan signing event held by a company.

‘But why is the official there… .’

[Because he won… ?]

Ah, to get an autograph… … .

“… … .”

after. I bowed my head.

[I’m sorry! I thought I should surprise you on the day, but I think I was short-tempered. Hyung ?? Should I cancel?]

“No.”

If you can… Let’s not affect it forward or backward. You have to live as it is. There is no need to take risks.

‘Rather good.’

Then, right before the change, you can comfortably see your face.

Since the fan signing event starts in the evening, isn’t it a perfect place to check out any unusual details?

“good. Then, I ask you to take a taxi on the way home.”

[Yes!]

The conversation with Keundal ended neatly like that.

However, time passed and on the day of the fan signing event.

A not so neat case… Occurs.

* * *

“You mean going back to the inn and turning into a big moon? Somewhere between eleven and midnight.”

“yes.”

“okay. Just in case, I checked again.”

Liu Qingyu whispered, patted me on the shoulder and passed by. I drank water in the waiting room and changed my outfit.

‘There is no ideal.’

But right after that, the ‘abnormal’ thing happened.

“There will be a delay of about an hour and a half due to the organizers… .”

“… … .”

“There is no schedule behind us. How about taking a little break and adjusting your condition… … .”

The manager was speechless. In fact, it’s ‘condition control’ because it’s a good word, but it’s just a problem that can’t be helped even if you’re angry with being late from work.

‘Because the advertiser is Ohsung, this side doesn’t seem to be able to go out strong’

because Ohseong is such a large company. anyway… … .

I pressed my temples.

‘Is it dangerous if I reject the job and leave work because I’m sick?’

Let’s see if I’m normally… .

‘Of course I waited and digested the schedule.’

shit. It is already confirmed in that it is a fan signing event at a time when there are no schedules later. Because the ripple effect when it is canceled is enormous.

‘… Should I go ahead?’

Or should I make a sudden move?

I clasped my hands. It was then.

“It’s dumb… !”

“… !”

Sun Ah-hyun sat down next to him.

“are you okay. we usually… Thinking of the autograph session time, before that… It will end. I hope you don’t worry too much and do it in a way that is comfortable for you… .”

“That’s right. Statistically speaking… Probably in the car or in the waiting room after the event!”

“… … .”

I looked at the people around me and nodded.

Surprisingly, I felt a little more at ease.

“okay.”

However, I will briefly regret this judgment… .

I didn’t know that the short talk corner in the middle of the autograph session would be delayed again due to equipment problems.

Besides, this piece of the damn system moved a little faster than I expected.

… … So when I came to my senses, it was like this.

blink.

Before I knew it, I was standing behind a high school student holding a sign.

A hamster headband was dangling from the high school student’s bobbed hair.

“… … .”

Beyond the high school student, he could see Ryu Cheng-wu, who had finished signing the autograph with a smile on his face.

Our eyes met. I averted my gaze for once.

“… ?”

Liu Chengwu seems puzzled. However, as if he had gradually grasped the situation, his eyes changed.

And there, right next to me, sits a familiar face with all sorts of bizarre items for fansigns on his head.

… … grow. Moondae Park.

[brother… !]

‘I’d rather collapse and be taken to the ambulance.’

Now that this has happened, you can consider skipping this turn by somehow ignoring the event.

but… I can’t help but see this.

[Surprising!]

Abnormal state mission failed: Return to original state (2)

-Everything back to normal as if nothing had happened

: 47:59:59

until the end 48 hours until the end.

time doubled.

That was a bad sign.

‘Leave it like this… It may be permanently changed in the next or next time.’

I looked back in line. Also no one

In other words, it is a situation where only the two people in front of me need to get Park Moon-dae’s signature and pass.

“… … .”

[I am… I think I’ll be able to collapse properly this time… … .]

‘… Listen carefully.’

I closed my eyes tightly.

‘You are Testa Moondae Park.’

[…] … .]

And I… .

‘… A light fan getting autographs from the members.’

Trying not to stumble, I began to approach Liu Cheng-wu… … .

That’s how the worst role play on earth began.
