Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

Office worker Kim Soleum has one joy in life—Prophecy of the Apocalypse: Dark Exploration Records (DER). He is completely engrossed in reading the wiki entries comprising this shared universe of ghost stories. After winning a "real merch box" at a pop-up event, Soleum suddenly finds himself dropped into an orientation for new employees of Daydream Inc., one of the most famous factions in DER. Daydream is a highly successful pharmaceutical company whose products guarantee miraculous results. But the potency of its potions depends on "Dream Essence," a substance which can only be harvested from supernatural phenomena. As a Field Exploration Team member, it will be Soleum's duty to explore the "Darknesses" that he greatly enjoyed reading about and to collect Dream Essence. While the scenario sounds like a dream come true for any other fan of DER, Soleum desperately wishes to return to his own reality—where ghost stories are mere fiction—for he is an absolute coward.
