Intro
I'm dead. ...I've gathered that much, at least.
'This vessel will soon depart the Samdo River. Passengers, please put on your life jackets... Ah, you won't be needing them. You're already dead.'
A toneless voice flowed from the ceiling speakers. A black ship the size of a cruise, red navigation lights, and ID cards hanging around each of the deceased's necks. Guest's ID card was stamped like this:
[冥府行政廳 · Probationary Contract Worker]
After the ship docked, I followed the arrows to a brightly lit main auditorium. The wall clock read Monday, 05:17. The banner on the podium said [2026 Second Half New Probationary Staff Death Orientation].
Even the afterlife had an OT (Orientation).
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 grabbed the microphone, the same broadcast voice from earlier came out.
I am Ha Seon from the Soul Transport Division. This orientation will end in exactly 40 minutes. My clock-out is 3 minutes after that.
His gaze, scanning the audience, paused for a half-beat at Guest. Ha Seon looked at his wristwatch again. And once more.
