《Debut or Die [fan translation]》Chapter 131
Advertisement
The performance of performed by the participants of was a performance that has been steadily gaining views to this day with its unique oriental and sentimental atmosphere.
Of course, in addition to this song, TeStar had quite a few successful team performances. The opinions about the performances they wanted to try again came out in various ways while they were preparing for the concert.
However, most of them were eliminated at the discussion stage. Since the number of people had changed too much.
If we didn't do it right, there could be talks about how 'they're even taking it away from the eliminated ones'.
However, this song, which was actively pushed by Keun Sejin, did not have such anxious factors.
Except for Gold 1, all team members of Moon Rabbit successfully debuted as TeStar. In addition, Gold 1, who would be debuting soon, even willingly left permission via text message on the premise that they would use it at their own concert as well.
Like that, TeStar was able to prepare for the performance with excitement.
And now.
Seven figures wearing dark robes appeared on the stage.
The sound of the daegeum bamboo flute resounded.
It was an elegant and melancholy sound. It was a sound that everyone in the audience had heard at least once.
At that moment, a person gracefully turned around. Then, the hem of the durumagi garment fluttered and flew into the air.
The eerily stretched line leaped higher than before, before falling forward.
A splendid golden royal pattern shone on the fluttering navy blue robe.
"...!"
The audience did not grasp the situation for a while but started screaming the moment the detail of the rabbit mask was caught on the screen.
"Aah!"
"Oh my god!"
Following the previous cute performance, the nostalgic rabbit appeared.
It was also luxuriously decorated.
Under the rabbit mask that the members flipped over, a showy jade norigae ornament shook.
The details of the clothes, which were more dazzling than in IdolCo, whirled beautifully and sparkled whenever the tall figures moved.
And TeStar brought out the peculiar atmosphere of that time with the same slightly inhuman choreography.
No, on the contrary, it became more intense.
Thanks to the increase in the number of people, the choreography of the chorus became even more grandiose in formation and overall movement.
Park Moondae clearly pulled off the high notes of the chorus. On the face that was captured on the screen, the glitter from the unit performance was still slightly visible.
And the second verse, which was cut out in due to performance time issues, continued without being cut this time.
The new members of the Moon Rabbit sang the new verses.
Cha Yujin grinned and made showy light foot movements. He went through the choreography until the end of the durumagi.
The Moon Rabbits expressed the performance in an overwhelming and helpless way, and the audience was equally infected and enjoyed the stage.

The venue was heated with welcoming joy.
And the bridge part approached.
The moon rabbits ran to the outer stage to finish the last verse sweetly and sensually.
...While holding a fan they took out from inside the robe.
"Aaagh!"
"Uwack!"
The screams heard from the surrounding stands were terrifying.
After the choreography of sweeping their body through the floor and lowering the durumagi robes, they were now wearing shirts.
Glittering string trinkets dangled from the white shirt tied with a sash.
And the end of the final chorus finally came.
With the act of waiting for someone with excitement, the choreography with feet movements continued pleasantly with a humming melody.
The audience responded excitedly by singing along to the humming.
It was a sing-along with clear pronunciation without a single mistake.
In an unexpectedly cute situation, the moon rabbits ended the performance with bigger smiles than they had planned.
Even Keun Sejin's last verse was sung in unison.
Keun Sejin grinned and with his arms crossed, he leaned his head feebly on a huge wooden tree that came out on the extended stage.
Even after the stage went dark, the cheers continued.
Waaahhh!!
In terms of concert development, it was time to announce a new performance with the VCR continuing.
However, even after a few seconds, the stage was just dark.
Several of the cheering spectators soon began to voice their doubts.
"Umm?"
"Huh?"
"What?"
Right before people started to stir up wondering if there was a stage accident...
The lights suddenly returned to the stage.
Click.
It was just one huge spotlight.
The beam of light on the extended stage... was illuminating a huge tree stump!
"...!!"
It was where the tree had been. But as if the body had been torn off, the whole thing disappeared, leaving only the stump.
And on top of that stump... two black-haired people were sitting with their heads bowed.
"...?!"
A slow solo string instrument began to play. The two slowly lifted their heads.
Their faces were completely covered with the rabbit masks. However, the mask was partially damaged in the head, and paint dripped down from that area.
"..."
The song began in front of a large audience who became quiet in an unusual atmosphere.
With the instrumental of the chanson, which became somewhat bizarre due to the extreme adjustment of pitch.
The third unit performance began without notice.
* * *
"Hey, aren't Chungwoo hyung and Raebin seriously amazing?"
Under the stage that we returned to.
With the help of people, Keun Sejin talked to me while changing his clothes in a hurry.
"Why suddenly?"
"Why? Without any choreography, they're just performing with their voices and arrangements. Look at their guts. It's so cool~"
It was a sudden compliment given to those who weren't there while we were busy catching our breaths.

'What is he thinking?'
But when I turned my head, I saw a behind-the-scenes camera of the concert.
'As I thought.'
I see. He was such a consistent guy. I replied with admiration.
"Well, you're right."
Ryu Chungwoo had probably even thought of the risks when it came to the characteristics of an 'idol concert'. However, Kim Raebin didn't have to have the guts.
'He probably thought what was the problem if the arrangement came out well and the live performance went well.'
And the arrangement came out really well.
The classic chanson that came out a few decades ago was disassembled and recombined to turn it into an indie-style song that was popular on music charts.
If a concert album was released, it would probably be the best.
Keun Sejin smiled at my agreement.
"Right? Oh, and of course, your guts were great too. The ribbon headband was amazing~"
"...Yeah, sure."
Let's not forget. There was a camera next to me.
"Moondae-moondae, don't you have anything to say about me? You saw the cowboy, right?"
"Yeah, you were cool."
"Please do it again with more sincerity."
I ignored the bullshit and listened to the sound coming from the stage.
It was a bright and catchy riff melody placed on top of a gloomy beat.
Then I heard rapping.
The development of the song was entrusted to the rapper excluding the iconic intro and the chorus.
It was a composition that people were familiar with so they would find it more catchy.
However, I wondered if the magic of the song, which only pushed through with rap, vocals, and atmosphere, would have worked at the concert.
'Though I think the atmosphere plays a part.'
The use of set and lighting was decided to be used like a play to give a strong narrative.
And on the screen, the meaning of the lyrics of the chanson appeared like black splashing ink.
The lyrics, which were bright in the original song, met with the gloomy beat and rap and came out with a different feeling.
'The impression must be strong.'
And thanks to those lyrics, the next song was actually decided unanimously in the first draft of the setlist we made. We decided to continue the next performance immediately with the title song of the new album.
'The context of the lyrics was similar.'
I thought it was a good composition for the build-up.
However, the company rejected it. It was a matter of stamina and time.
Each and every one of these words fit like a gem, so I kept my mouth shut and agreed.
So a short talk and audience communication were added but I wasn't sure if the atmosphere would liven up even if we talked after that song.
'I think it would be better to talk after an exciting or lyrical song.'
It couldn't be helped with the composition because the song selection was limited, but it was still a bit disappointing.
I clicked my tongue, finished my costume and hair maintenance, and moved down the hallway. And soon after, those who finished the third unit stage joined.
"Ooh..."
"Did you like it?"
"Yeah. It was even better than I thought."
"I think you expressed well everything you wanted to show!"
The faces that answered were bright. The response seemed to have been very good.
'The cheers were long.'
Without any anxiety factor, the concert was going smoothly.
"Going up! Be careful of your seats!"
"Yes!"
We were seated side by side in seven chairs and moved up to center stage with a lift.
In front of my eyes, countless lights that filled the huge space twinkled and rippled.
Waaahh!
The cheers were like the sound of light.
'...This is no joke.'
I did a little less when I had to perform on stage, but I felt dizzy sitting here with my mind sober.
If you think that there were well over 10,000 people sitting here and there in every light... No, let's stop.
'It's already difficult to proceed even with a script.'
I confirmed that Ryu Chungwoo, who was the first to begin the talk, lifted the microphone.
I also put my mouth on the mic.
All kinds of words flooded from here and there like a tide.
Everything!
I like all of it!
The rabbit!
The wires!
Moondae's stage~!
Those expressions without a single sharp word rang in my ears.
"..."
I inadvertently shut my mouth for a moment. ...My prepared answer came a beat late.
After a moment of light teasing, the process continued.
And it was the moment when we were about to enter the full-fledged content with the prepared questions.
The lights around the stage suddenly went dark.
"...?"
It wasn't planned.
'What is this?'
'Is it an accident?'
At that moment, the light suddenly poured from behind. It was the light coming from the screen.
As I reflexively turned my head, an unexpected video was playing on the screen.
...It was TeStar's debut showcase.
Activities from the past nine months appeared on the screen over time. From the first cable TV broadcast stage to the end-of-the-year stage, TeStar dressed in all sorts of outfits passed through the scenes.
Then the screen went back to the audience.
Suddenly, people were holding the same light purple piece of cloth in their hands.
It was... a slogan.
On the huge screen, that phrase came up clearly.
And the instrumentals of a song I already knew suddenly started to play.
It was TeStar's first fan song.
In the blink of an eye, the concert hall was filled with numerous sounds.
It was the singing of ten thousand people.
Countless voices came together, pouring down from all directions with the lights like shooting stars.
My breathing paused.

Skinwalker / War Chief
A System Apocalypse Fan Fiction I started reading Litrpg about two years ago. I fell in love with Tao Wong's System Apocalypse series. He is an excellent writer and I loved his world building, but when the second series arc went elsewhere It kind of lost me a little. I wanted to create a little parallel world that was very familiar to his fans but skewed off in a different, darker direction. If you haven't read Tao's work, you're missing out! Look him up on Amazon and read The System Apocalypse. One of the best in the genre.

Ancient Mana Dungeon Core.
Yes the tags are necessary, they will make sense eventually too. Art is not mine, found it on pintrest btw the title on the thing apparently has no name, or at least no title that you can search, at least, but i found this: ‘ArtStation - [UE4] Lost Temple Ruins Jonas Axelsson’ (if your curious I was searching ancient temple game art when i found it don’t bother clicking the link on the thing that says facebook, it does not work) (i will not lie this is kinda my first publication so go easy on me). A while ago I fell in love with the Dungeon Core stories and decided: ‘Heck, why not make my own spin on things!’ and so i started brainstorming what to do and i kinda just found the idea for the story during it. This is the story of a guy named Michael Alex (not a typo that is the name I will be using for him) he was an avid fiction writer and reader who was just sitting on his couch playing a puzzle game on his phone called: Ruins of Drailmor Keep (a three in one deal: tower defence, Puzzle (mazes generally), and world building (namely building on the ashes of fallen empires and regulating certain things while the waves of enemies keeps coming back to burn it down and ruin it just like the curse would while ocasionally sending out your own monsters to get rare rescources)) when he gets an alert and well one thing leads to another and he died to a freak avalanche. He then comes into contact with the universe's will (basically something that *insert your prefered deity here* cooperated with to make the world (heaven, hell, the mortal world, yggdrasil, basically every "world" that has been made (in reality, mythology, games, books, cartoons/movies, and memes!) but also had a mind of its own at the same talk.) and Michael and the Universe’s Will talked and this story is about the outcome of said discussion.
