「FullTimeJessica: Huh? What is this? This world setting still is not over? What happened? Was Han Gyeoul not buried alive? Did he finally spend real money? No way, I definitely saw him reject all the gifted DLC back then before I left.」

「Meussiel: Nope lol, the soldiers saved him before he suffocated lol」

「FullTimeJessica: What... did you say? Fuck, then how much did I miss? Did anything major happen? No way the host finally had sex while I was gone, right?」

「Meussiel: Tsk tsk. Your faith is weak, you bastard. Still expecting sex on this stream.」

「FullTimeJessica: He did not? ...Yeah, figures.」

「SweetMocha: You still missed a lot tho lol. It was crazy scary when the mutants ran on water.」

「storm224: For real. The visual impact was insane. The host looked a little shocked too, did he not?」

「FullTimeJessica: What are you talking about? Are mutants Jesus now? How are they running on water?」

「groseillier noir: Not Jesus, Peter. He sank halfway through.」

「MoronlympicGold: Peter lol, that joke is Holy-Spirit-level.」

「FullTimeJessica: Damn it! Now I am curious. Did I leave too fast... I should have waited a little longer.」

「AppGirl: Does not seem too fast. I almost left too.」

「DongmakgolSmigol: Fucking hell. Seriously, is this not too much? If you are gonna stream, basic decency says you force-apply the 「Death Return」 DLC! Maybe this BJ punk is too young to know business ethics. Zero consideration for viewers, zero common sense.」

「Grade-9 Civil Servant: Business ethics? Why are we even talking about business ethics here?」

「DongmakgolSmigol: Is that not obvious? If you stream commercially and take viewers' money, at least do not end in some pointless dog death. Who gave him permission to die in the middle?」

「storm224: Feels like I saw this same kind of idiot before... guess this is what happens when new idiots come in. Human greed is endless and people repeat the same mistakes.」

「doomchitdoomchit: I am that old idiot. Watch your mouth, punk. Wanna die?」

「activeXfuckoff: Do not fight, you bank security program bastards.」

「Wilma: Security brogram?」

「activeXfuckoff: Sounds legit, but actually useless.」

「Wilma: lolololol」

「Don't_NickPun: If they get banned doing this, only they lose. They are watching because it is fun anyway.」

[Don't_NickPun gifted 100 stars.]

「doomchitdoomchit: I should just shut up.」

「storm224: Yeah, do not talk, yeah.」

「doomchitdoomchit: Ah, seriously...」

「LendMeYourStrength: -------------cut line (normal people below)-------------」

[SweetMocha gifted 100 stars.]

「SweetMocha: lololololol I am normal first」

「SweetMocha: But but, I watched this whole time, and having no DLC seems like the advantage?」

「SweetMocha: He is weak, so you stay tense, then he tries harder so you end up cheering, and if he dies it is over so it is scarier, and the immersion is there too...」

「MoronlympicGold: Yeah yeah, honestly other 「Days after Apocalypse」 channels have no fear factor. They cannot bring out the setting's strengths. You guys know how that original old star-streamer is doing these days?」

「HardGay: Original star-streamer? Ah, that old dude named Park Woo-cheol?」

「MoronlympicGold: Yep. That old guy is doing 「Days after Apocalypse」 these days too. Before I came to this channel, I watched that grandpa's stream.」

「HardGay: So what is he like? Is his gameplay fun?」

「MoronlympicGold: Nope, boring as hell. Zero skill to cover anything. Last time I saw, he bought the 「Unlimited Power」 DLC. He was blasting lightning from his hands and fighting a Gamma Grumble. Looked like a total moron...」

「Mustafa: Lightning lol, fuck, I cannot even picture it. I tried imagining this channel's host doing that and the mismatch is crazy. People have different tastes, sure, but I prefer the realistic side.」

「MoronlympicGold: Each has pros and cons. Quick sex and vicarious satisfaction. That old man is especially good at power-tripping too. Just by how he acts, he is a natural-born tyrant. His signature line is, "If you want to live, strip, bitch."」

「AekDda: And then he starts pounding and goes, "Now, feel that you are alive!"」

「100MillionDEBT: lololol total psycho. How does someone even come up with lines like that?」

「ProudPrincess♡: Gross as hell -_-」

「YeminROCK: Kind of hilarious in its own way. There is a reason he makes good money. But nothing stays with you after watching.」

「YeminROCK: That old man even handles romance with DLC.」

「YeminROCK: "Cupid's Arrow! Activate!" Then it is all "hyaaang I love you heart pew pew" and that kind of crap lol」

「AekDda: Hey, still, that is secretly fun. No questions, no debate, straight to banging first.」

「OldSpice: Then why are you here?」

「AekDda: Because this place is more fun.」

「OldSpice: lololololol」

「AekDda: lololololol」

「AekDda: They say even with the same title, DLC can make it a completely different world setting, but the old man's apocalypse and this place's apocalypse are way too different. It is funny.」

「100MillionDEBT: What is new about that. That hot 「Imperi Romanorum」 setting these days, vanilla is a normal medieval European history piece, but if you install the Georgius Pack, it turns into fantasy with dragons flying in the sky.」

「TeamLeaderKimMi-young: What is vanilla?」

「100MillionDEBT: Pure default.」

「TeamLeaderKimMi-young: Then what is pure default?」

「100MillionDEBT: Pure official version, dumbass. The base state with nothing else applied is pure default and vanilla. Okay?」

「TeamLeaderKimMi-young: Thanks. Want a loan?」

「100MillionDEBT: You crazy bitch. You can say that after seeing my nickname?」

「TeamLeaderKimMi-young: Yep. People with debt are even better at piling on more.」

「100MillionDEBT: Up yours x2」

「adolfheitler: But is Park Woo-cheol not the most successful case among first-generation BJs? He must have made a lot of money, so why is he still doing that? Does he still want this at his age?」

「Don't_NickPun: Probably wants to raise his Afterlife Insurance grade.」

「adolfheitler: Ohhh. You can raise your grade even after getting into a coffin?」

「Don't_NickPun: Yep. Money is what matters.」

「ElectronicBracelet: Hey, but what is good about raising your grade?」

「likeableYOU: Most importantly, I heard the AI changes?」

「ElectronicBracelet: Huh? The AI engine is the same anyway, is it not?」

「ProudPrincess♡: It is a hardware difference.」

「Don't_NickPun: You can call it hardware, but more precisely it is a difference in computational capacity.」

「Don't_NickPun: The base computational power allocated to each grade is different.」

「Don't_NickPun: Put simply, data mining time gets shorter. You can think of it as the Search AI Module getting that much stronger. I heard from Grade A onward, even if you raise search module occupancy to 90%, you barely notice any issues.」

「ElectronicBracelet: Oh, that is sweet. Does that mean they always provide AI enhancement packages? For other grades, that service needs a subscription pass.」

「KILL: Even after death, still an unfair society...」

「NitrogenPack: That endless unfairness whining. I am so sick of it. Where else is there a society that gives this much opportunity like ours? We are the first country in the world to guarantee coverage for the whole population even after death. Once you die, you have nothing left to lose, so whatever effort you put in stacks up, right? The only direction left is up.」

「KILL: Hey, was my one line really that rage-inducing?」

「NitrogenPack: Rage lol, who got mad? I am just dumbfounded. All the guys whining about Afterlife Insurance grades have rotten guts. They do not even try to raise their grade through effort. Their deposits are tiny but they keep swiping DLC like crazy. Spend at your own level.」

「KILL: Got it. Let us stop. I am the idiot.」

「NitrogenPack: Yep.」

「NitrogenPack: Society is not bad at all. People who do not try are bad.」

「RetiredInMy20s: You really talk filthy.」

「StraightFacts: Words that are good for your body usually sound bad to your ears.」

「RetiredInMy20s: Bullshit.」

「まつみん: I do not know Korea that well so I cannot say much... but this still feels wrong somehow...」

「Grade-9 Civil Servant: Random thought, does that old star-streamer himself even enjoy it?」

「Grade-9 Civil Servant: I hope my afterlife is not that ridiculous.」

「AppGirl: Well, that depends on how hard you work. Grind extra payments and hit Grade A, maybe. Since we are talking about it, how much has everyone paid into deposits?」

「BillyHarrington: Not much. Even if I keep paying like this for 40 more years, maybe I make Grade C, maybe not... sigh. If I could reach Grade B like this host, I would have instant suicide thoughts.」

「HellExpert: 40 years? You look younger than that though?」

「BillyHarrington: Idiot. I am talking about applying for an Afterlife Insurance deferment and paying more in the meantime.」

「HellExpert: Ahhh lol, but does Afterlife Insurance apply even if you commit suicide? I thought it did not.」

「BillyHarrington: That is only for people aiming for basic guarantee grade. If your deposit is enough, they still accept you even if you commit suicide. Most people do not consider suicide just to raise a grade, though.」

「BillyHarrington: One more month of work and one more DLC. I survive these days with thoughts like that.」

「HellExpert: lol, you are fucking pitiful lololol」

「IngrownToenail: I just want to be satisfied with basic guarantee grade, is that not possible?」

「UnderBlanketParkDanger: Basic guarantee is Grade F. If you want to die one more time from suffocation after death, highly recommended. Yeah.」

「IngrownToenail: Fuck. Yeah, figures. What do I do. My payment suspension period is long, so even raising one grade feels insanely hard.」

「OldSpice: Payment suspension? There is that too?」

「IngrownToenail: Yep... if you have no income, you can apply for payment exemption status. Then you do not pay until you get employed. Of course, if you think about the afterlife, it is not something you should do.」

「OldSpice: Is there a way to make up for it?」

「IngrownToenail: You can pay the missed amount from the suspension period all at once with interest added.」

「LendMeYourStrength: Huh? Even interest?」

「HalfHome: Even if it is interest, it cannot be much, right? Since it is tax, does it not follow public announced rates?」

「Don't_NickPun: What Afterlife Insurance collects is not tax.」

「HalfHome: It is basically tax anyway. Then is it higher than public rates?」

「IngrownToenail: It is the same as Afterlife Insurance policy loan interest.」

「ZzaraPappa: Policy loan... right, that existed too. I laughed so hard at the ad. Who takes that crap.」

「100MillionDEBT: So what is the policy loan interest then?」

「IngrownToenail: 17.5%」

「HalfHome: LMAO what the fuck, that is loan-shark level lol. Way higher than I expected, I am dying lol」

「HellExpert: Holy shit」

「MagnaCarta: No, why is it that high? I am borrowing against money I already deposited. From the lender side there is no chance of loss, is there?」

「NitrogenPack: It is high because of useless old people who did not work hard when they were young.」

「NitrogenPack: All those bug bastards are basic guarantee grade anyway. Put simply, they have no deposited money. They get Afterlife Insurance with basic pension as collateral, then take loans with that basic pension as collateral too, so of course interest has to be high.」

「PooDongDong: Then should not interest vary by deposit amount? This sucks. I wish all those old people sucking the younger generation dry would just die.」

「IngrownToenail: Exactly. If those old people disappeared, the rest of us subscribers could get better services.」

「Blair: Looks like old people ruining the country is the same everywhere. Fucking Brexit.」

「まつみん: Sorry, but all of you will become old someday too.」

「GrapesOfWrath: They talk like that, but they are all life losers anyway. Bet they have never even thought about why basic pension exists. Money cannot come before people.」

「NitrogenPack: Loser? Who? Me? lol I already hit a 1 billion deposit. I am Grade B. I can still pay in a lot more.」

「MarkIsGood: What? 1 billion? Is this guy a GoldenSpoon?」

「MagnaCarta: We need pikes, we need pikes...」

「FrankSausage: Mom! Where is our house pike?!」

「Mother: Check the second drawer in the fridge!」

「FrankSausage: Ah fuck, it is not there.」

「Mother: If I find it there, how many hits do you want?」

「conservative_extremist: Mother came out of nowhere lololol. Perfect nickname value lol. You idiots have great teamwork.」

「Korean-AmericanAlliance: Why is a pike in the fridge lololol」

「Владимир: Pike? I have no idea what you are talking about...」

「Владимир: Anyway, this is interesting. Afterlife Insurance is definitely a successful business model, but besides Active X, it seems there are parts that should be screened out too.」

「groseillier noir: Watching you for a while, you look like some high-ranking Russian official. Is that your concept?」

「Владимир: Who knows.」

============================ Author's Note ============================

#Movies

The author likes watching movies alone.

But after starting serialization, it has been almost impossible to make time.

I think I will regret forever not watching 5 Centimeters per Second when it was re-released. Grrr...

I want to watch Star Trek too... but I cannot watch that either. Ugh...

#Q&A

Q. Nesstor-nim: @If your head is getting clearer and clearer... does that mean the day is coming when Author-nim awakens and whispers in starlight? (Or maybe the novel is already being written that way-) Also, that ghoul that felt fear definitely still has 'memory,' right?

A. The day I die from overwork is getting closer. / Memory? Well.

Q. RGZ95-nim: @Maybe it is a boomer-like entity, or it contaminated the water source with tumors... blegh..

A. It already came up in the story that it probably is not a toxic substance...:)

Q. Cheongnyuryeon-nim: @My childlike innocence got recharged again today. Childlike innocence is essential like water, so it gets depleted easily in heat waves. Thank you for another great work today♥

A. The author's childlike innocence also gets depleted easily! How should I recharge it? Thanks again for a great comment today!

Q. Yakarubita-nim: @I feel sad when there are no comments...

A. So I decided to start doing them little by little again. You are not sad now, right?

Q. Gomsiju-nim: @I can confidently say I buy a lot of books, but ebooks do not feel like ownership, so I hesitate to buy them... It feels different from paying per episode too. I end up waiting for rentals most of the time.

A. I also do not really like ebooks because they do not feel stable... but this is still the trend of the times. At least in the genre market, paper books seem to be nothing more and nothing less than romance.

Q. Habika-nim: @I will buy it whether it is a physical book or ebook... I seriously hate zombie stuff, but I am enjoying this so much. The recommendation side is more fun and more entertaining too!!! If we do not do this, does web serialization even have its charm...? Please do not get pushed around too much by readers telling you do this and do that, and I hope you take feedback in moderation.^^

A. When it comes to writing the novel, I will keep my own standards, but for other things I will try to match readers as much as possible. You hate zombies but are reading this novel... thank you for enjoying it.

Q. rumen-nim: Are you not serializing on Kakao too? Is per-episode payment only available on Naver, and everywhere else you have to buy by volume?

A. I probably will serialize on Kakao too, but Naver wanted first serialization... so Kakao will probably come later. And I probably will not get a banner either.

As for the payment method... not sure. The author has not heard whether other platforms will do per-episode or per-volume. I do not think it is decided yet. I will tell you when I find out.

Q. Baekjaknyang-nim: @Take this coupon! Because of you, Author-nim, I bought another 3 days of Noble. I regret it, no, it is so fun to read that I am happy. But ahh my money.. your writing is so fun. Stay healthy, then Hail Kaletrochen.

A. Skalrochen even made it all the way here... grr...

Sorry for the Seal Breaker serialization delay. After signing the contract, I had no choice but to prioritize Ossuary. I am already staying up all night just to keep this posting cycle...

I am glad you enjoyed it. During Seal Breaker's gap period, I hope Ossuary was at least some comfort.
