Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

Chapter 148

Baekilmong Co.

A pharmaceutical company that somehow—impossibly—mass-produces miraculous elixirs that grant wishes.

Its main ingredient?

Ghost stories.

That was all the Dark Exploration Records had written about it when it first appeared.

No explanations.

Just enough to fuel the reader’s imagination—

The unnerving technology.

The mystery.

The cold, clinical cruelty.

The gaping holes left in its background.

That emptiness was what made it terrifying.

But as more records were compiled, more breadcrumbs emerged.

‘Worldbuilding happens over time.’

Baekilmong Co. didn’t just fall from the sky with a fully-formed, impossibly advanced pharmaceutical industry.

Even if it looked like it had—

The workbenches.

The experiment stations.

The shelves lined with beakers full of unknown liquids.

And at the center of it all—

A massive machine.

A hollow glass chamber, empty and dark.

At its base—

A panel of buttons and a keyboard, straight out of the early 2000s.

An old experiment device.

DREAM INCUBATOR

And next to it—

A research log.

The same one mentioned in the Dark Exploration Records.

I opened the aged pages and began to read.

This corpse’s physical movement ceased five years ago.However, it was artificially kept ‘alive’ in some way.
