《Debut or Die [fan translation]》Chapter 89
Advertisement
There was a title below TeStar's video that suddenly appeared.
There was no description and the title seemed less official.
Above all else, seeing TeStar wearing animal pajamas made it look like a cute little treat similar to behind-the-scene cams.
'How nice~'
Fans clicked play feeling moderately happy.
Then an unfamiliar instrumental melody began to flow. It had a refreshing sound and a soft medium tempo of an electronic piano.
And TeStar members, who were scattered on different sides of the room, got up and positioned themselves in a formation.
'...??'
A new song? Or a cover?
The vocals echoed in front of the bewildered fans.
The melody was good and not overdone.
And TeStar, dressed in animal pajamas, jumped into the air and started dancing. The animal ears fluttered on their heads.
"...!"
The fans' cries began to fill social media in real-time.
The dance was at a basic level of difficulty which added cuteness to it. However, it didn't look messy thanks to the many gestures and actions that they freely performed on the camera.
Cha Yujin, wearing a snow leopard pajama, came out waving his tail with one hand while singing a verse. And he sprinkled shiny confetti according to the lyrics.
Seon Ahyun, wearing a deer pajama, appeared through the confetti.
Whether he was embarrassed because of the response from the people around him or because of the sudden hip-hop arrangement, Seon Ahyun made lively dance movements which was unlike his usual self.
And by this time, the fans realized.
'It's the lyrics to Magical Boy!'
The words derived from the lyrics of 'Magical Boy' were reassembled to make it feel cheerful for someone who's had an overwhelming day.
And everyone had the same thought.
'It must have been Kim Raebin.'
'Kim Raebin made this.'
It was because of the impact he made in the audition show during the moon rabbit performance.
Meanwhile, the song entered the pre-chorus.
Park Moondae, wearing a baggy white puppy pajama, came out to the center and suddenly dropped down on his knees.
'...??'
And he started imitating Keun Sejin who was the center of Magical Boy's ending choreography.
Of course, it was supposed to be humorous, but he was working hard on it.

The fans died laughing.
The part ended with the members pulling Park Moondae back up suppressing the fans' disorder.
Meanwhile, the lyrics were sweet.
After singing the last part of the pre-chorus, TeStar began to dance charmingly to the chorus.
Keun Sejin was in the center wearing a black baby bear costume.
Thanks to the pleasant lyrics and Keun Sejin's dance movements, the chorus was like a cool choreography video.
But next came Kim Raebin in pink rabbit pajamas.
It was the pinnacle of an unbalanced music video.
Holding a carrot pen like a microphone, Kim Raebin sang the melodic rap.
It was a masterpiece to see TeStar headbanging while the animal ears flapped like they were at some rock festival.
The video continued to consist of cool parts with a spoonful of humour. However, the last part ended seriously with everyone having a slightly shy smile.
The video ended with TeStar members holding hands and bowing together.
The fans rejoiced as if they were suffering from indigestion from the sudden drop of a new song and video. But at the same time, some had doubts.
The fans, who had experienced the agency's several records of failures, suddenly suffered from anxiety. Because it was strange no matter how you thought about it.
Fortunately, within half an hour, a new post appeared on TeStar's account.
The fans hyperventilated about the fan song that was released for free.
The fans were delighted with TeStar's unexpected gift but were also distressed saying, 'This is such an easy-to-listen song' and 'If it had been released on the music site, it would have gone up all the way the ranks'.
Of course, there were more people who were touched by this.
Anyway, most of the fans were happy, and TeStar members who were monitoring this were also happy.
* * *
"It was worthwhile to work even on a trip."
"I know right? We filmed it in a hurry but it came out well~"
"I like the pajamas."
Cha Yujin, who was still wearing the snow leopard pajamas, beamingly smiled.
The current time was half past one in the afternoon. It was time for the last content of the extreme trip.

'...I honestly didn't expect that from the production team.'
In fact, from last evening to this morning, all the time was spent recording the fan song and making the video. It was because the production crew, who were obsessed with the production of the fan song's content, took all of their time to make it.
'Thanks to that, we were able to roughly finish what we tried to do with just a draft.'
Still, the announcement was intended to be made at a later time but it seemed that the production team had persuaded the company to solve it now.
It was probably useful for the promotion of the reality show.
Perhaps next week's notice will be a phrase like 'The Production of The Fan Song' and the actual period for the production would not come out until the week after the next... Well, that's how it's usually organized.
Anyway, everyone's expressions were bright because the responses were good.
"...Should we go eat now?"
"Yes."
I skipped breakfast to practice the choreography. I was hungry.
Fortunately, the production crew had some conscience to take us to a nearby restaurant. It was a restaurant that served grilled marinated duck, and it seemed that each person ate three servings.
"Thank you for the meal∼"
"I-it's delicious."
"Moondae-ssi, you don't happen to have a detailed review?"
"The balance of sweetness and spiciness is good and the quality of meat is good. And the rice tastes so good that I can't help but keep going. Satisfied?"
"Ooh~"
And the next activity was... rafting in a valley river.
"We're falling over there! Careful!"
"Uwaah!"
Splash! The river water splashed like a water bomb on our faces. In the meantime, I had to row.
"Come on, everyone! If one person makes a mistake, everyone falls into the water! Let's take care of each other!"
"Yes... Yes!"
Applying strength while being hit by the water... It was like doing physical labour.
"Yahoo!"
However, some of the members looked quite excited. Especially Cha Yujin and Ryu Chungwoo.
I didn't know how this was fun, but there was one thing I knew.
'...Are they telling us to use up as many calories as we ate?'
It seemed that the company got to know about it somehow.
I rowed silently, unable to shake off the idea that the grilled marinated duck was the main culprit.
"Yes~ That's how you move your arms."
This experience reminded me of the time I worked part-time in a factory.
* * *
"Thank you for your hard work∼"
"It was fun!"
After rafting, we washed up and changed our clothes at a nearby facility, and the afternoon passed quickly.
The cameras were set up at a nearby spot with a scenic view, and we continued to settle there.
"Wow, seriously... I spent my time well."
"It was really fun because it felt like we were travelling together. Thank you for letting us have a good time."
The members laughed and exchanged ending comments half sincerely and a half for the sake of the broadcast.
"N-next time... If, if there's a chance again, I would like to go on a trip together."
But this one seemed to be completely sincere.
"Yeah, let's go on another trip together."
"I agree~"
"I wish we could go abroad."
...Wait, were these guys actually serious just now?
"Then, with a cooler image, we will meet the fans again!"
"Until now, this is TeSTAR's living together TEST!"
The members diligently waved their hands after finishing the set ending remarks. Obviously, I did too.
"Thank you for watching~"
"Yeah!!"
"Thank you!"
Once again, everyone's expressions were bright thanks to the successful completion of another schedule.
Maybe it was true that this filming was quite fun.
"It's nice because this place is close to Seoul. I hope to come back with my family next time."
"It was fine."
While listening to Ryu Chungwoo and Lee Sejin having a conversation and returning the microphone installed on our bodies, the manager suddenly ran to us from the side.
"...?"
"Raebin-ah, wait..."
The manager took Kim Raebin to a nearby corner.
He returned Kim Raebin's smartphone, which was taken away while we were playing in the water, and conveyed his words.
At that moment, Kim Raebin's face turned pale.
"...!"
//TN: ;_; My school assignments are suffering because I want to know what happens next...

Summoner's Journey
[Before you read - the story is officially dead. The reasons behind it are posted in the last chapter.] In a magic world on the verge of an industrial revolution, Ari Ragnarsson must uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance. They were part of an organization known as the Order, which protects mankind from various threats - both human and supernatural. Now, after Ari's brands finally manifest, he leaves the safety of his village and travels to the continent. Strength is all that matters in this world and he must learn how to control his powers. There, he meets a man from another world, who's being hunted for merely existing. Their fates become intertwined, but not in a way either of them would appreciate. Author's note (contains minor non-story related spoilers about the MC and setting) This is a progression fantasy with LITRPG elements sprinkled on top. The main character is not a spellsword, but a summoner/support mage hybrid. Since he wasn't ambushed by a random god, there's no cheat item/spell and he has to rely on his skills and wits to survive in a world full of monsters. The story tries to show the moment when the old starts to be replaced by the new, with a healthy dose of magic and a little steampunk in the background. Also, it revolves around a party dynamic akin to RPG sessions. No health/mana bars. Numbers are secondary and the LITRPG elements focus more on classes/spells/runes and their evolutions. Tables are sparse at the beginning, but from chapter 7 onwards they appear more often. Still, I won't be copy-pasting the whole character sheet dozens of times per chapter.

Rise of the Desolate Star
“The soul is a sword. The body its sheath. Adversity is the hammer, while courage is the anvil. Oh, and son? Your tears and snot, they’re just the sparks that chip away at the impurities, like dungflies off a sow’s arse.” - Kendric Farrow Ever since he could remember, young Skyle Farrow’s body and mind have been hammered relentlessly like red-hot steel against the anvil of adversity under the watchful eyes of his father. All the while, Skyle’s heart and soul have been nurtured by the enduring warmth of his loving mother. Skyle has always asked why a simple farmboy would have need for all manner of skills like hand-to-hand combat, wilderness tracking, archery, beast taming, geography, history, politics, and even embroidery! The one vital question remains unasked, however: just what are his parents preparing him for? The invasion of a demonic horde? The advent of an age of war and endless bloodshed? The dark legacy of an ancient mystical power? A desperate struggle to save the lives of those he holds dear? The end of the world? It is a good thing he never asked these questions, for the answer would have been yes - to all of them. Now Skyle must take his first steps beyond the sheltered world he has known. He has been raised strong, but is he strong enough? Welcome to a tale of friendship, love, loss and heartbreak. It chronicles the growth of a young boy into a legend whose path will shatter the very foundations of the world. Expect a rich, detailed world with vivid characters. Each will pursue their own complex agendas due to realistic motivations. The MC will be overpowered, not through liberal use of plot armor but rather the deliberate application of arduous training, clever thinking, and nurtured talent. Battles will be graphic, victories will be bittersweet, and defeat will not mean the end of the world - for time waits for no one and life goes on whether we like it or not. New chapters posted on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6 p.m EST, 10 p.m. GMT.
