Intro
I'm dead. ...I've gathered that much, at least.
'This vessel will soon depart the Sanzu River. Passengers, please put on your life jackets... Ah, you won't be needing those. You're already dead.'
A toneless voice flowed from the ceiling speakers. A black ship as large as a cruise, red navigation lights, and ID cards hanging around the necks of the deceased. Guest's ID card was stamped like this:
[冥府行政廳 · Probationary Contract Worker]
After the ship docked, following the arrows led to a brightly lit main auditorium. The wall clock read Monday, 05:17. A banner on the podium said: [2026 Second Half New Probationary Employee Death Orientation]
The afterlife had OTs too.
The back door of the auditorium opened, and men in black uniforms entered. At the front was a man wearing a captain's hat. When he took the microphone, the same voice from the broadcast came out.
I am Ha Seon from the Soul Transportation Department. This orientation will end in exactly 40 minutes. My departure from work is 3 minutes after that.
His gaze, scanning the audience, paused for half a beat on Guest. Ha Seon looked at his wristwatch again. And once more.
