My Alter Ego’S Path To Greatness Chapter 433

Licorice (3)

Lunatic Entertainment.

It was the name of a new company established by the clan for this project.

Of course, in order to set up an entertainment company, you had to meet various strict conditions, but it was not that difficult to meet them for a clan that had both power and money.

As unlimited money was invested, Lunatic Enter took on a plausible appearance not long after its creation.

Not only was an entire building with a cafe provided as an office building, but talented individuals who were recognized in their own right were being scouted one after another in exchange for huge salaries.

“Hyung Park, did you hear the news? I heard that the 3rd team leader who quit not long ago moved to a new entertainment company…” “

Is this true? No, I was wondering if someone who was certain to become an executive within a few years had something to regret and quit. The place you went to is barely new? “They said they gave you the position of president there?”

“But I heard that newborn is not an ordinary newborn. I heard that the capital invested was astronomical, perhaps because a large company was determined to support it. “It seems like they offered a huge annual salary not only to the Team 3 leader but also to all the scouted employees.”

“Oh, no matter how good the money is, it’s true. In a place where the future is uncertain….”

Naturally, the news was bound to attract the attention of people in the industry.

It is said that there are more than one entertainment company that appears and disappears every year, but there are not many companies that aggressively grow their business by pouring in such a large amount of capital.

In addition, Jin So-ran, the second-in-command of the clan and the mastermind behind the project, did not simply raise capital while carrying out the work.

‘The future of all of us vampires depends on this. ‘There’s no need to hesitate any longer since you’ve already received Lord’s permission.’

For those with sick family members, he provided mysteries that were difficult to access with money alone, such as healing powers and potions, and for those with unfair stories, he mobilized power and connections to resolve their grudges.

To increase the loyalty of those on board and make them do their best for this project.

Licorice, an unprecedented idol group whose members are all vampires, was the result of countless efforts.

<Vampire idol?! Netizens are in an uproar over the announcement of a girl group in which all members are vampires.

All preparations are complete and there is not much time left until debut.

The surprise press release sent out as part of publicity caused an uproar in society, as expected.

-yes? Idol? Who? Are you a vampire?

– Hahaha, you’re making a fuss. I’m not fooled ??

?No ??, right? Why isn’t this fishing??

-If you’re a vampire, you’re a demon, right? But you come out and say you want to become a celebrity?? The country is going crazy.

?My words. It’s the end of the world. What on earth are guardians and civil servants doing? Don’t catch them.

Although I was prepared to some extent, the reaction was not very good.

Although the image of vampires has improved over the years through various incidents, the stereotypes about them are too deep-rooted to accept their social status as celebrities, who are no different from the symbol of the sun.

It is common to complain to the community, and even to criticize and swear at those directly or indirectly involved.

The good news was that not all of the reactions were negative, as if the effort had been worthwhile.

-and…; But everyone’s visuals are no joke. The music video teaser is playing infinitely. I can’t escape…

?I also stared blankly and finally came to my senses. Does this mean that I am being possessed by a fox?

?Fox

_ The music in the teaser isn’t long, but it catches the eye. I want to hear the full version quickly;;

-No, but if you think about it carefully, there’s nothing bad for us, right? I don’t have to hang out with celebrities in person anyway, so if they look good, whether they’re vampires or something, isn’t that great?

????

Of course, there was some influence of a very slight manipulation of public opinion.

Still, it was true that not everyone was negative.

“Hehehe, I like it… Click the like button here too…”

Lee Na-hee, the lead vocalist of Licorice and the youngest member in charge of cuteness, flirted while lying face down on the sofa in her dorm and looking at the smartphone in her hand.

Of course, there were more bad comments than good ones, but she didn’t show much of a reaction to those comments, just pressed report without mercy.

‘Well, I’m used to being criticized just because I’m a vampire.’

The members of Licorice are all carefully selected talents.

As mental health also plays a large part in the evaluation criteria, she had the mental strength to easily overcome this level of work, despite her young age.

“Nahee! Are you searching for us again? “Didn’t you tell me not to look at things like that at work?”

“ah!”

At that time, a woman’s voice sounded like a reprimand, and the smartphone fell out of Nahee’s hand.

She lay face down and wiggled towards the stolen phone, but soon gave up and sank down on the sofa.

As can be seen from the fact that she, a level 4 vampire, was taken away without even detecting her presence, it would have been nearly impossible for the other person to retrieve the item with just her power if they had their way.

Licorice’s main dancer and leader in charge of sexiness—level 6 vampire Yunseol held the phone she had taken away and sighed.

‘Nothing good will come of continuing to hear these negative words. It may seem okay right now, but irritating memories do not disappear and continue to accumulate deep in your mind.’

And the moment your heart becomes weak due to something, it will take advantage of that gap and explode all at once.

Yunseol, who already knew this fact well through experience, looked at the young youngest child with eyes full of worry.

Like all idols who debuted recently, the Licorice members were not that old.

The oldest, Yoon Seol, is only twenty-two.

On the other hand, Nahee, the youngest, was only a middle school student, so on average, she could be said to be in her late teens.

However, this ‘age’ had one blind spot…

‘Three of the five of us are returnees, so we have more experience than our age on the family register, but Nahee is really just a child of that age.’

The point was that it was calculated based on the age of the Earth, not the actual age.

Another member of the high school student who became a vampire on Earth was so conscientious that he stayed away from public opinion as instructed by the company, but I couldn’t help but worry about Nahee, the youngest, who couldn’t overcome her curiosity.

‘Should I just confiscate the phone… But doing it only to Nahee is a bit… Ah! Yes, that would be a good idea.’

At that time, a good thought suddenly passed through Yunseol’s mind.

She looked at the girl pressed against the sofa and slowly opened her mouth.

“If you keep doing that, I’m going to tell everything to Manager Ha. “You continue to follow company guidelines.”

“Ugh! Director Ha?”

“Yes, it would be better to leave this phone with the manager. “Every time you need something, you can just ask for it, right?”

At those words, a look of burden appeared on Lee Na-hee’s face.

It had to be that way.

The person named Director Ha that came out of Yoon Seol’s mouth was definitely not an ordinary person.

“sister! That’s a bit…”

‘Chief Ha’ who recently joined the Licorice team.

No one knew his real name.

Director Ha is just Director Ha.

The president of Lunatic Entertainment probably doesn’t know either.

That’s how much he was in a special position.

Unlike other employees who are busy day and night with their debut just around the corner, he does not do any work.

All I did was eat something without resting and watch the situation leisurely.

But it actually made him seem more special.

‘There’s no way a person like that has a parachute and is an ordinary manager.’

A monitor sent from above or a high-ranking person prepared for danger.

That was the identity of Director Ha that the executives and employees of Lunatic Entertainment, including Licoris, thought.

Of course, there was no way anyone could treat him comfortably.

…Actually, I was so overwhelmed by his appearance and atmosphere that I didn’t dare to talk to him casually.

“I’ll take a look at it this once. Instead, next time you get caught again, are you really going to do as I say?”

“…okay.”

In the end, Lee Na-hee had no choice but to nod obediently to Yoon Seol’s threats.

I had no intention of getting caught in the eyes of that scary man just to satisfy my curiosity.

Yunseol returned the smartphone and smiled bitterly at Nahee, who was pouting her lips.

As expected, I think he is still young for his age.

‘The fact that the higher-ups assigned such a person to us… probably means that they judged that if we were active, there would be a lot of trouble.’

The members of Licorice have become stronger than before thanks to the honor of receiving Heinz’s grace.

She sighed, remembering Director Ha’s level, which even her level 6 eyesight could not fathom.

I hope it doesn’t cause too much of a fuss.

So time passes.

The day for Licorice’s debut has finally arrived.

***

“Hmm, is this finally the real start?”

His hair was neatly pulled back, his face had thick lines like a man, he had big dark sunglasses, and a black suit that looked like it was going to explode at any moment.

The moment someone faced him, Harley, dressed in skimpy clothes, slowly stroked her chin.

Then, I slowly looked around the stage just before the debut showcase started.

As if all their hard work in the media had been rewarded, the crowds of people were showing their interest in Licoris.

‘Well, it has to be that way.’

Isn’t this the world’s first vampire idol group?

Even if I thought in my head that it might be dangerous, there was something about that fatal charm that made me want to take the risk and check it out for myself.

As an entertainment reporter, it must have been difficult to give up a subject that was expected to receive this much number of views.

‘Of course, there are not only those who came here because of such special interest.’

Harley quietly closed her eyes and covered the surrounding area with her territory.

All my senses except vision began to run wild.

‘also. It seems like there are more than one friend who doesn’t like this event.’

While everyone was busy, he was sitting calmly in the officials’ seat and burst out laughing.

However, he did not move his body directly.

The bloodsuckers of the clan, who had thoroughly prepared for this day, were secretly and quickly excluding those who showed such suspicious behavior.

‘Yes, those who say that name and color rule the Korean night should not fall for this shallow trick.’

Starting with an elderly man who wandered around the building around the event venue carrying a bag containing an homemade bomb, a woman who tried to infiltrate the building using a business card called a reporter, an audience member selected by lottery, and a stage crew hired to prepare the stage for the showcase.

A large number of people were caught who were directly or indirectly plotting something or were being taken advantage of by someone without their knowledge.

‘Tsk, were vampires hated this much?’

Harley frowned and clicked her tongue lightly.

The level of each one was not that high.

Before they could even try anything, they were all subdued by the vampires who were closely watching the situation.

In other words, it was not the intervention of some powerful shadowy force, but something they had planned on their own.

To disrupt this monumental event where vampires are about to emerge into the sunny world.

‘…is it because of this?’

At that moment, using “Machine Eye: Callicas,” Hesperon was able to find useful information in the sea of information.

It all started with a secret community discovered while searching the Internet records of some of the people he had suppressed.

-Eternal death to monsters that suck human blood.

-I think it’s time to go see my daughter. Thank you for everything so far. In return, I will bring you at least one more parasite.

?Good luck.

?I will follow soon.

A community of victims who lost family members or acquaintances to vampires.

It was a gathering of people who had already completely closed their minds and looked cynically at whatever the clan did.

‘…This.’

Actually, the fact that the clan took its current moderate path happened after Heinz came to power.

Until just a year ago, when the hardliners were the trend, the bloodsuckers of the clan were fearsome demons themselves.

But what is the use of claiming to the victims at that time, ‘We are different now from then’?

‘…Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do about it right now.’

I couldn’t help it.

There was no way he could compromise with those whose resentment was already so high that it was eating away at him.

The good news is that no matter how hard they struggle, it doesn’t mean much.

It seemed like there were a few former Awakened people in that group.

The clan is, in name and reality, the mainstream force that dominates the nights of Korea.

There was no way that people who were not transcendents could disrupt the event that such people risked their lives to conduct.

‘I am here to prepare for any possible intervention by the Buncheon Society.’

I hope the showcase goes smoothly like that.

Finally, after the previous sequence, it was time to announce the debut song.

“Is it finally starting?”

In fact, it was the most important part of today’s event.

Because right now was the moment to present the first stage of ‘Licoris’ to the public.

~?

A beautiful jeonju was played at the event venue.

Elven Kingdom’s High Elf Harris and his friends not only did their best to create this song, but they even participated in playing instruments themselves.

The pinnacle of ‘harmony’ contained in the music penetrated into the hearts of the listeners.

“Hmm, this is….”

“I thought it was amazing just because it was pre-released as a teaser….”

My emotions are being pulled in uncontrollably.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a heavenly rendition of a beautiful melody that is so sweet that one wonders how it was recorded.

Following my emotions, my consciousness began to immerse itself in the stage.

And the moment when a captivating and deadly voice is placed on top of the storm-like waves of melody.

“…!”

“…….”

The hands of the reporters who were busy tapping on their keyboards to submit the report as quickly as possible stopped.

The eyes of those who were secretly moving their fingers and broadcasting live on social media were fixed on the stage.

The strength slowly drained from the bodies of those who were full of prejudice and had their arms crossed the whole time.

Could this be the song of the siren who led sailors to their deaths on the sea road?

The synergy between the harmonious music of the elves and the captivating voice of the vampire was enough to completely blow the minds of Earthlings who had no tolerance for sound holes.

And at the same time.

Licorice’s debut song ‘Amaryllis’ was released on a music and video site.

***

Of course, the response to the debut song was extremely explosive.

Even those who were waiting to see how well he did couldn’t bear to open his mouth.

While all indicators are showing a steep upward trend.

Thanks to its popularity, Licorice….

“Look, it’s really Licorice, right? It’s no joke. “Isn’t it much prettier in person?”

“Shh! You idiot, shut your mouth, please! “Even the smallest girl out there could rip you to pieces with her bare hands!”

“Huh!”

I was at the broadcasting station to film a public music broadcast that would be broadcast across the country.

“…I won’t tear it.”

Na-hee Lee, the smallest girl, pouted her lips and muttered softly as people around her looked at her with obvious difficulty.

They may have been whispering quietly to themselves, but no one in the room heard them.

The Licorice members smiled awkwardly at the obvious fear embedded in those words, as if they were seeing a wild beast that had escaped its cage.

“Kahahaha! Isn’t this interesting? I’ve been to all the broadcasting stations! Oh clothes? “What is that? It looks interesting!”

Of course, Director Ha, who is always energetic, had no ideas.
