These events are going to take place in the future. A summary of the current timeline: Our MC’s true name is gunwoo and he has been transmigrated into the body of Moondae. The real moondae has been transmigrated into MC’s body, he was the one who accidentally caused them to be isekai’ed after falling to his death but due to the system he gets to live.
His dying wish was to become an idol so MC has to fulfil that in his stead.
As for cheongryeo, he’s the leader of the boygroup vtic who came to interview MC on behalf of his label. They’re going to get much more involved in later seasons.
They’re going to find out more about the origin and purpose of the system.
MC is smart and will figure out a way to control the system to some extent for their survival.
Og Moondae will go through some things with the system, I think he gets absorbed into it so I’m not 100% sure whether poor boy gets to live but as for the others, they’re all well alive.
They don’t have to clear the missions near their real bodies (?) I don’t rly get this question but it is a precondition for them to be transmigrated
Spoiler from candyjelly on novelupdates:
(Only up until chap440)
system grants a dying person’s wish, but there is a rule for this:
- dying person’s location must be near the previous person when they finished the last mission
fun fact: the wording of the system is different in each person lol
nothing specified yet about the dead person who had the system before cheongryeo
when the system first appeared for cheongryeo, its because he wished to have a better career while jumping off a building. However, cheongryeo didn’t have the ability to check the system like moondae, so he probably often didn’t even know what happened wrongly and got sent back each year until he cleared all the missions. unfortunately in the middle of the way, he got addicted in returning back in time to make sure he finishes all his missions perfectly
next, moondae (real name: gunwoo), who transmigrated into another person and returned back in time. this is kinda a long story, but to make it short, after visiting gunwoo who was in coma state because of attempted suicide, og moondae accidentally slipped on stairs and died while wishing for gunwoo’s happiness. og moondae used to be a fan of gunwoo’s idol fancams before gunwoo closed his channel saying that ‘he’s gonna focus in gaming’ (gunwoo was actually focusing on civil service exam). somehow this made og moondae integrate with the system and system granted og moondae’s wish, by judging that gunwoo had to become a successful idol to be happy, thus the missions of becoming an idol, winning awards, getting millions of audience. (funny situation i know)
during this, system also made og moondae to transmigrate to gunwoo’s body and return back in time, og moondae had the missions to pass civil service exams. gunwoo (from current time) got to guide og moondae for a day every time og moondae finished a mission. gunwoo also bought winning lotto numbers for og moondae so that og moondae could fully focus on studying to not fail the missions.
we don’t know yet if there are repercussions of gunwoo/og moondae failing a mission.
the next person to get the system is kwon heeseung aka gold 2, who was in moondae’s team several times during IJC (Ch1-63), he fell off a bridge accidentally while wishing he should have become an idol instead of a model. he also couldnt check the system like cheongryeo. moondae told him his mission after checking his system. cheongryeo, moondae and heeseung are aware of each other being a returnee. heeseung also bought stocks right after he went back in time lol
chronology of the story:
-7 years: system appeared in cheongryeo
0 year: cheongryeo finished his final mission
other parallel timeline:
0 year: gunwoo helped og moondae
+4 years: gunwoo’s suicide attempt, og moondae died
current timeline:
0 year: gunwoo woke up in moondae’s body
(og moondae woke up in gunwoo’s body)
+3-3.5 years: moondae finished his final mission, system appeared in heeseung and moondae created a new mission for himself and made the system to reward him the chance to talk with og moondae, which made him to be able to guide og moondae from year 0. (this kinda became a time paradox)
while trying to eradicate the system after heeseung finished his mission, moondae and cheongryeo fell into a ‘reality world’ where they’re back as trainees and had to debut again, this time in LeTi (VTIC’s company). This ‘reality world’ concept is like the 127 Section game in early dod. Everyone lost their memories of the actual world (except Moondae and Cheongryeo), Moondae had to gacha and awaken each of them (all members in TeSTAR and VTIC).
After succeeding in turning off this ‘reality world’, moondae met with the system. System is a parasite who feeds off energy from people’s passion and it found that idol industry has the biggest passion so it has been forcing returnees to become an idol. It tried to send Moondae back to the ‘reality world’ but Moondae (and Cheongryeo and og Moondae) fought it off and won, and they’re finally back to the actual world.
But turns out system was not fully eradicated and there’s still a mission however the system window didn’t appear anymore, so Moondae failed. Thus Moondae got a penalty and the music show building he was in suddenly started collapsing in an attempt to kill him. og Moondae interfered the system midway and Moondae’s penalty changed to mission failure where he had to escape the building. After he successfully escaped, they’re back to actual world and thought system was finally dead for good.
TeSTAR joined in VTIC’s donation concert before three of its four members go to conscription. And then, TeSTAR was about to appear in a radio show to announce their comeback, but a mission failure notice happened again, this time, Moondae and og Moondae are switching back for 24 hours.
