-★ The Second Life Idols Lucky Plan – Chapter 137

「Incomplete Beneficiary (Title)」

By understanding the current situation, we derive the most optimized 'roulette' reward for the 'user'.

Spin someone else's 'lucky' roulette using 'User: Yoo-ha' points.

Transfer of 'compensation' unlocked.

The system had not completely changed.

'This is definitely a title given to help me.'

I was worried that the system would be completely corrupted due to bad luck or a reappearance of the past, but fortunately, the system seemed to have prepared for my defenses.

<Avoiding Bad Luck>, which had the function of bestowing 'good luck' optimized for me, continues the effect.

'I don't know why the transfer effect was added.'

In any case, this was a welcome event, as it meant that Lucky Roulette could be played reliably in the future.

However, there was one thing that was clear from this.

'... The system is definitely different from what it used to be.'

At the time of the final contest, the system experienced an error and made its update. And the results of that update were manifesting in two completely different ways.

One to protect me.

"... ... ."

And the other one, to get rid of me.

It was as if the 'error' of that time, which was trying to return me to the future somehow, still had its will.

'At that time, the error clearly wished for my death.'

Five years into the future means death to me. The error that occurred without any sign erased the 'present' and recommended I return to the 'future.'

The 'Reenactment of The Past' that occurred immediately afterward showed a similar pattern to that error. By re-occurring events that happened in the 'future' in the 'present', they were showing an attitude as if they were trying to overlay the future onto the present.

However, the system, and thus the administrator, did not stand still.

'This was a reward announced in advance during the final contest... ... .'

Just as they had saved me from the brink of death during the final contest, they had prepared some kind of defense plan and created a breathing hole for me in advance.

As if they had expected things to turn out like this.

"... Driving me crazy."

If so, the current situation could be understood like this.

'The system is not completely friendly to me anymore.'

I have now confirmed that the error will not just disappear but will continue to pose a threat to me.

But it wouldn't be completely hostile either.

'At this moment, there are two wills involved in the system.'

In the form of a sharp conflict between the 'error' who tried to return me to the future and the 'manager' who tried to keep me in the present.

"I'd like to say hello. Two three."

"BE YOUR WORLD! Hello, this is OneDear!"

"Hello, nice to meet you~."

"Here, this is our album, senior!"

"Oh really? It's so pretty, I'll keep it well. Please do your best for this activity."

"Yes, thank you!"

Se-rim Cheon, who had presented an album to Yuni, a senior artist, gave an elegant social comment, saying that he had always been a fan.

"Yoo-ha, are you okay?"

"Ah."

Suddenly, Ju Dan-woo stared at me with worried eyes, and I came to my senses.

The members were seen talking to Yuni, each adding a word to the conversation initiated by Cheon Se-rim. It was only then that I realized I had been distracted.

'Are you crazy?'

As I watched that scene, I took a deep breath and tried to shake off distracting thoughts. The complicated thoughts from last night continued right up until this moment, and I was momentarily unable to focus on the situation.

I quietly answered Danwoo Ju, slightly out of Yuni's sight.

"Yeah, I just had a hard time sleeping. It's okay, so you don't have to worry."

"But if you're too tired, you can return to the waiting room first... ... ."

I quietly shook my head at Ju Dan-woo's concern. No matter what, the guy with the leader title couldn't show his seniors a distracted appearance from the beginning. If even one person in the group behaves sloppily, rumors will immediately spread.

'There must be a lot of attention already.'

In the idol world, the relationship between seniors and juniors is tight, and since it is tight, rumors spread quickly. And OneDear would now be attracting the attention of quite a few industry insiders.

Even if it is through a survival program, there are not many groups that start their activities by setting new records from their debut with this level of buzz. In other words, it was certain that there would be people paying close attention to how the company would proceed in the future.

'So it's better not to do anything that will get you caught.'

With that in mind, I said hello to the other industry people and came to Yuni's waiting room. And after that, I went around the seniors' waiting rooms a few more times.

"... Ah."

However, despite being busy, my complicated mind did not calm down easily.

'... There must be some purpose.'

I couldn't get the thought out of my mind about why the 'bad luck roulette ticket' had been given to me.

A system that seems to be divided into two purposes is a system, but the special effects of the title, such as being able to spin someone else's 'roulette' and transfer rewards, were also probably not given in vain.

'If an item or reward was given whose purpose was unknown, an incident occurred where it had to be used.'

Sudden incidents where the system and my purpose intersect, such as Boong Boong Drink or White Hacking Rights.

'So, there must be some reason why those special effects were given to me... ... .'

At the moment, I wasn't sure what the system had given me that ability for.

Moreover, the system may cause some kind of 'error' again. I couldn't let go of the tension easily. While thinking that, I bowed deeply once again and walked out of the waiting room.

"Hyung, how many places are left now?"

"I think I just need to go to one more place."

Since most of the greetings had already been completed last week, there were not many senior artists who were greeting for the first time today. I was walking down the hallway following the guidance of my manager.

"I think the seniors still treat me warmer than I thought."

"Hmm... yes."

Do Ji-hyuk nodded with a slightly ambiguous expression at what Yu Chan-hee said.

As an idol trainee, Yu Chan-hee had heard about the discipline of the music industry, so he seemed completely frozen last week. However, his seniors' reactions were more favorable than she expected, so he seemed to have relaxed to some extent now.

On the contrary, Do Ji-hyuk seems to look rough.

'Because Do Ji-hyuk would not have been treated like this at the beginning of his debut.'

Dozens of idol groups debut every year, and dozens more disappear without a word. As such, idols who had been in the market for several years did not pay much attention to groups that did not show any 'buds' in the first place.

This means that there were many people who did not even deal with groups that did not seem to have any 'benefit' in the first place, other than groups that had already built up some level of recognition through their agency's power or independent programs.

"Chanhee, it's been so long. Nice to meet you, I didn't expect to see you like this."

"Oh, yes... ... . A long time."

"... What? Didn't you learn how to say hello?"

"Uh?"

"No, you spoke too casually. You must be careful, no matter how long you were a trainee."

... So, in a way, this kind of check can be proof that OneDear is a 'deserving' group.

'What is this guy?'

I looked at the guy who was lying down on the sofa, stretching out in a relaxed posture. Yu Chan-hee, who saw that, froze as if he had never smiled before.

I glanced around and looked at the group name tags in the waiting room. Hiers. A 2-year senior who started his 3rd mini album this week... ... .

'Yu Chan-hee's direct senior.'

Before appearing on <Design Your Idol>, it was an idol group under DIO, of which Yu Chan-hee was part of the debut group.

"Jinwoo Kim! Why are you doing that, really? Chanhee, you know Jinwoo is joking."

As soon as the Hiers member named Kim Jin-woo saw Yu Chan-hee, another member who came forward and tried to mediate the situation.

Seeing that, Yu Chan-hee bowed his head and greeted him with an awkward smile.

"How have you been, Juho?"

"Yeah, we've been well. How have you been?"

Juho is the leader of Hiers, and unlike Kim Jin-woo, he does not seem to be keeping Yu Chan-hee in check at all. Seeing that he was standing in the way of Kim Jin-woo as if to block him, he seemed friendly towards YouChan-hee.

As Kim Jin-woo disappeared from sight, Yu Chan-hee's expression seemed relieved. Yu Chan-hee exchanged a kind greeting with Juho for a while, then he turned he head towards us and continued his words.

"Guys, these are seniors who practiced with me. This is their leader, in order... ... ."

"Hello, rather than a senior, I hope you think of me as Chanhee's close older brother. Chanhee and I have been trainees together for a long time. To be honest, it's hard to even consider him as a junior... ... ."

Juho said that and glanced at Do Ji-hyuk and Kang Hyun-jin. Do Ji-hyuk responded with a soft smile.

"My career took off midway through, and now I've debuted as OneDear. Please treat me comfortably."

"Oh, I've never officially debuted either... ... ."

Kang Hyun-jin also added that with a shy expression. As Do Ji-hyuk and Kang Hyun-jin said, OneDear's current position was ambiguous.

'A rookie is a rookie, but there is already a senior with six years of experience, and Kang Hyun-jin is in a poor position to be considered just a rookie.'

Since Do Ji-hyuk was a rookie and Kang Hyun-jin was a semi-celebrity who had already appeared on numerous TV shows since he was young, the other senior idols also seemed confused about how to treat them.

Most idols are ranked in some sort of ranking based on their debut date. However, since two people had already appeared on TV with their debut, it was unclear whether to use OneDear's debut date as the standard or the date of Black Ocean's debut and Kang Hyun-jin's first broadcast appearance as the starting point.

The two of them were in the process of arranging their ranks by bowing down and asking to be treated as OneDear, that is, as newly debuted rookies.

"Ah, bro, what are you talking about? You have to think about keeping a tight grip on your hierarchy. What if we humble ourselves first? Chan-hee hasn't learned how to greet properly either. The difference in debut date should not be ignored."

It seemed like he was finally thinking about whether he needed to humble himself.

Kim Jin-woo, who got up from the sofa where he had been lying for a long time, approached and spoke, and Yu Chan-hee's shoulder was tightened again. He looked at Jinwoo Kim and spoke as if he was slightly worried.

"Don't be too disappointed, I'm just doing it because I'm worried as a friend who trained with you."

Yu Chan-hee rolled his eyes in silence with an anxious look.

"Also, you can't get criticized by your seniors or employees at your company because of your attitude."

At the moment the words were spoken, Yu Chan-hee's face hardened.
