Chapter 209 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 209

At the Daydream Inc. Annex, new hires gather for an orientation for the pharmaceutical company. Among the excited recruits is a weary, silent man and a boastful new employee who claims to have a friend in the Research Team. A cheerful voice over the intercom identifies himself as Kwak Jekang, Section Chief of Research Team 1, and announces a "fun mission" involving a lottery box to build teamwork. Participants draw lots that form a sentence directing them to a basement floor and room number to perform a specific action. While some tasks seem trivial, the atmosphere turns horrific when the first elevators return carrying only the lower halves of previous participants, or bodies in various states of mutilation. Survivors report seeing bizarre, uniformed entities in the basement corridors—such as a child in a lab coat or a figure with a lion dance mask—that attack once the mission is initiated. Panic ensues as the main entrance is sealed, and an automated security protocol threatens to kill anyone attempting to force the doors. As the lobby becomes a death trap, the boastful new employee is forced into an elevator with the silent man, Jang Heowoon, to face a mission at Basement Floor 13, Room 666. Jang Heowoon remains unnervingly calm, noting that the odds of survival are higher than staying in the lobby. The chapter ends with a sudden shift in perspective: Jang Heowoon wakes up in a state of profound terror, realizing he is not in his own bed but is trapped in a reality where he is no longer human, possessing horns and a non-human body, bound by a contract to work his shift at Daydream Inc.
