Chapter 17
“Dubidubidu, it’s Wakamo Inarizushi. Believers, how have you been? I’ve been lazing around all day.”
As soon as the stream turned on, the screen was filled with the upper body of the Fox God.
Her violent chest, as if sucking in the flowing black hair, drove the viewers wild.
┗ “Were you rolling around on the road instead of at home?”
┗ “I heard you showed the bitter taste of the Tree Guardian to the Drake that participated in Reality Online for the first time.”
┗ “The Dark Ring field boss can’t even beat the 22nd-floor monster. Baldy, stop making games like this!!”
┗ “Who’s even going to play a game made like that?”
┗ “You guys will. You’ll play it anyway, won’t you?”
┗ “Ah, haha, this is so damn annoying, lol.”
┗ “Thank you for saving us!! It was really amazing!!”
┗ “There was a time when I thought a lowest-tier climber couldn’t beat a 20th-floor monster.”
┗ “What did the 10th-floor boss even do wrong? Once you get to the 20th floor, he’s just a regular mob.”
┗ “What do you mean? We’re here to watch an executioner witness their own execution today, duh.”
┗ “The monster fatality by the stream leader, which rivals the French Revolution, is about to begin.”
┗ “Haha, it’s going to be the best spectacle, isn’t it?”
┗ “We’re living in a barbaric era.”
┗ “By the way, what’s with the tail behind the leader? Can you take it out now?”
“Eh? Oh, this thing?”
She wiggled one of her tails.
It was a decoration made using Mana Manipulation.
Though it was connected to my body, so you could say it had grown in newly like a wart or something?
I hope you’ll understand that it’s hard to find a good analogy. The fluffy-looking tail only appeared full from the outside, but it was actually hollow inside.
And inside, I had roughly shoved in a Mana Potion. I planned to break it in case of emergency to recover mana all at once.
Originally, this idea came from thinking, “If I can alter my appearance with Mana Manipulation, can’t I extend my arms and legs too?”
But that would be gross.
So, I thought that stuffing something into the tail would be a good method and decided to experiment with it.
I could even enlarge my chest freely—this feels like something out of DC Comics, like Plastic Man.
I guess I’ve just been too fixated on maintaining the Fox God form. But as long as my mana increases, the possibilities are endless. Of course, I still have to keep the Fox God concept intact.
“What’s so weird about a fox having a tail? I just decided to bring it out now. The problem is, sleeping with it out makes it uncomfortable. Even lying sideways is a pain.”
She hugged the fluffy-looking tail tightly, wagging the end of it with a sly fox-like grin, causing the comment section to speed up.
If it were the early days with fewer viewers, I would’ve read each comment and remembered them all. But now, with four-digit viewership, even keeping up was a hassle.
I can see just fine, but I wonder how other streamers or VTubers manage to deal with this?
┗ “I really want to hug it just once. It looks super soft.”
┗ “Did the stream leader really hire a broadcast manager? Is that person really from the Association?”
┗ “Why are you asking? Just read the café notice, lol.”
┗ “Finally, our stream gets some rules!!”
┗ “I thought you were fighting for freedom, like the French Revolution?”
┗ “Yep, believers are fighting to see Fox God’s chest.”
┗ “Ah! I see now. I was just too dumb to understand!! Everyone else should disappear so I can watch her alone!!”
┗ “Please, just do a fan meeting, even just once, please!!”
┗ “Ban that jerk who posted about the texture of Fox God’s fur in the café forever!!!!”
It was complete chaos. Popular streamers probably deal with this all the time… I was relieved that I didn’t have to worry about stalkers.
When you become this popular, it’s common to attract stalkers. You never know what might come in the gifts they send. I was just thankful that I finally had a manager.
“Anyway, everyone, today I’m finally going to the 10th floor. I’ve been preparing carefully. Can you see this figure photo?”
She made a peace sign with her hand and floated a picture of a super-limited figure in the air for the viewers to see.
What was there to hide… to be honest, it was just showing off!
┗ “Yes, we can see it clearly. By the way, your panties are black, huh?”
┗ “How do you know the panties are black? You can’t even see them from here.”
┗ “The Pekoyama model’s panties are black. Fact.”
┗ “You crazy jerk, bite your tongue and die, please.”
┗ “What color are Fox God’s panties?”
┗ “I’m so jealous of that item with your autograph on it.”
┗ “Is the stream leader just trying to tease us? I’ll let it slide since I can’t win anyway.”
┗ “Haha, seriously, if you oppose her, you’ll get conscripted by the state for ‘re-enlistment.’”
┗ “Holy crap, that’s terrifying, lol.”
┗ “No wonder the community has been so peaceful lately…”
It used to be relatively calm, but even in the chat or community, they stuck to light jokes like “how much does Fox God’s chest weigh?” as their form of minor harassment. Still, they were mostly respectful (?) in their own way.
Some people, thinking they could hide behind anonymity since they didn’t live in Korea, were getting a bit out of hand.
The board moderators probably wanted to live longer, so nationality didn’t matter much.
A lot of internet users probably got kicked out of the community today.
“Mm… I’m wearing black too.”
She suddenly became curious about the question, slightly pulled down her skirt, lowered her head to check inside, and responded. As she did, the comment section exploded.
Beyond simply overheating, the Believers began howling like wolves and croaking like frogs, as if they were mocking her.
“Beee~”
Wakamo stuck out her tongue and teased them with a playful “Merong.” The reaction was truly a spectacle.
┗ “Why is she cute? Why is she cute? Why is she cute? Why is she cute? Why is she cute?”
┗ “Why is she acting all smug like a bratty little girl, even though she’s a giant woman?”
┗ “No way, are her boobs really that big that she had to pull her top down to check??”
┗ “Look at her giggling at our reactions! Damn it, this is what they mean by a woman’s fox-like cunning!!!”
┗ “Well, the Fox God is literally a fox, so isn’t this the perfect fox-like behavior?”
┗ “Ugh… UwU… I like boys, but this might make me awaken to something else…”
┗ “This is exactly the mental therapy we needed from the Fox God.”
┗ “Hey, gay friend… Look at those boobs once more and try to calm down.”
┗ “Bigger boobs, bigger tails, bigger happiness.”
┗ “I wish the Fox God was a paid VTuber, I would throw missions at her… Please, make it happen!!! Please!!!”
┗ “Omurice!!!”
┗ “Tanghulu!!!”
┗ “Yobongbong!!!”
┗ “Please step on me and call me a pathetic loser!!”
┗ “Burboonga.”
┗ “It’s not going too far…”
“I can’t step on you, but I can put my foot on my chest.”
With that, she lifted her leg gracefully and placed her foot gently on her chest, wiggling her toes. The pose would have looked bizarre overall, but only her chest and the sole of her foot were visible, so it didn’t matter.
┗ “She really did it!”
┗ “Please let me bury my face in both your chest and your feet at the same time!!”
┗ “Is it possible to bury your face in both her chest and feet at once?”
┗ “I’m new here. Are there only beasts in this chat?”
┗ “No, this is a psychiatric ward. The attending doctor just happens to have big boobs.”
┗ “I think I found the right place!”
“If you have any money for donations or subscriptions, please give it to those ten cute VTubers I clipped today instead.”
┗ “Wait, did she just naturally promote smaller VTubers?”
┗ “The promotion flowed so smoothly, like water.”
┗ “Our Fox God can’t stream without VTubers; we must save them all!!”
┗ “We bow to the head moderator of the Korean VTuber Support Gallery.”
┗ “So if I go to their VTuber stream, can I request to see the Fox God’s cute side?”
“If the VTubers ask me to, I’ll record it and upload it as a short.”
┗ “Why don’t you do it live for us!!!”
┗ “What is this discrimination?!!!”
┗ “Believers are people too!!!”
┗ “Waaah, love us too, mommy!! Waaah!”
┗ “But if we donate, you’ll upload the shorts, right?!!!”
┗ “Let’s goooooooooooo!!!”
┗ “Wait, didn’t the Fox God already donate first? She donated a lot!”
┗ “Why is the Fox God waging a donation war against her Believers?”
┗ “And somehow she ended up donating to a Queen’s stream that wasn’t even on the list.”
┗ “Ahahaha, I’m going to lose it, seriously, hahaha.”
The chat was slowly heating up as she moved on to talking about random things: news about Drake’s terror attacks, the red pill VTuber, and questions from viewers asking if she was at home or doing a collab.
She casually responded while giving advice to her Believers, like reminding them to be careful in the chat now that they had a new manager. After they conquered the 10th floor, she said they’d go on a café tour while checking out fan art the Believers had drawn for her.
By the sixth day of the stream, she had grown accustomed to it. It wasn’t as if her five years of streaming experience had disappeared.
Click, click─
She had no idea why this item was in the construction site, but she had lucked out trying to grab some rebar. Worried, she asked the manager if it was okay. Although surprised, the manager said it was fine.
Now, she climbed to the 10th floor.
Climbing solo without any support could be considered fast, but with her [Legendary Class], she was taking it easy, so her pace was incredibly slow.
On the 10th floor, Climbers would face their first [Giant Monster].
Its name was [Gigantic Waran], a king lizard-like monster about 7 meters long.
Without using any skills, its movements were sluggish and linear. Unless you had a support-type job, it was quite easy to defeat. Conquering this monster was the Tower’s tutorial for Climbers.
The manager kept asking if she needed any gear support, but─the only gear she could wear was either hand-crafted by herself or provided by the Tower to match her job.
[Stats]
Mana: 32,011
‘That’s cutting it close…’
She prayed that nothing would go wrong and continued to climb the 10th floor.
As soon as she set foot on the next level, an audio notification rang out, audible to both her and her viewers.
[The Tower is verifying the Climber’s achievements.]
Ding, ding!!
[Truly overwhelming accomplishments! Summoning an Elite Monster worthy of such achievements!!]
[You cannot exit until the monster is defeated!!]
┗ “?????? What the hell? What’s going on right now???”
┗ “Is the Tower increasing the difficulty because the Fox God is doing too well?”
┗ “What the hell, why are they raising the stakes after she already climbed this far?”
┗ “Wait, if she can’t leave the Tower, how does that work?? Isn’t that normally allowed??”
┗ “That kind of penalty doesn’t exist unless you’re at the highest floor.”
┗ “What’s an [Elite Monster]?”
┗ “Sometimes, unique monsters spawn in the Tower. They’re stronger than the regular ones.”
┗ “Does this mean the Fox God is in real trouble?”
[The 10th Floor Boss has been changed to [Gigantic Waran, Swallowing in One Bite]!]
[You are currently climbing the 10th floor of Incheon Tower.]
- You are qualified to challenge the Tower. Defeat the [Elite Monster].
[Platinum Achievement Condition]
- Possess 9 [Complete Conqueror Floors] (9/9)
- Defeat [Gigantic Waran, Swallowing in One Bite] (0/1)
Both the Climbers and viewers watching the broadcast were witnessing a sight they had never seen before.
The only one who understood why this was happening was Wakamo. The cause of this mess was none other than the nine floors she had fully conquered on her way up—earning the title of 『Complete Conqueror』.
To think the Tower would increase the difficulty just because she set a never-before-seen record of perfect consecutive clears?
Typically, when a climber conquers a tower, the difficulty of the next climb increases in proportion to the number of floors. But Wakamo, who had only just reached the 10th floor, was already being given this trial.
“This is bad!”
Even the Chairman watching the broadcast couldn’t help but be surprised.
This wasn’t just any ordinary monster; it was an [Elite Monster]. And when the monster had a title attached to its name?
“It’ll use at least two [Skills]. It’s going to be dangerous!”
Once she entered, she couldn’t exit. In the worst-case scenario, this situation could end with the climber being killed in a horrific manner.
Especially after Wakamo had fought the [Drake], this was a sudden ascent.
“Wakamo-sama isn’t in full condition! If she fights in her current state, she’ll lose for sure!”
“Did she really not accept any equipment support?”
“No, she refused support… but she did ask for something small from the demolition site.”
“A request for a small thing from a demolition site?”
Clang clang
Just as Manager Won Da-hye was explaining and the Chairman was expressing his doubt, a metallic scraping sound echoed through the screen. More precisely, it was the sound of chains moving and clashing against each other.
“That is…”
Some Climbers bring guns into the Tower. As long as they meet certain conditions, they can carry weapons from the outside.
The condition is that the weapon must be in physical contact with the body, whether in a bag, hand, or slung over the shoulder.
However, larger weapons, like a tank, would be impossible to bring unless you had a specialized [Legendary Class].
“Kiieeeeeek!!!!”
That’s why Wakamo brought it by hand.
The [Gigantic Waran] shrieked as it charged across the swampy ground. The fight was supposed to take place on a rocky terrain, but every environmental factor seemed to work against Wakamo.
As it charged rapidly on all fours, its tail swept the ground, and from its purple skin, a poisonous gas fwooshed out.
Viewers gasped in shock as the smoke billowed from the Waran’s skin, truly releasing poison as feared.
┗ How is she supposed to escape in this poisonous swamp???
┗ She doesn’t even have an antidote. Isn’t our streamer in big trouble?
┗ Isn’t she okay since she said she wasn’t breathing?
┗ Who the hell doesn’t need to breathe?! She’s a VTuber, it was a joke, you idiot!!
┗ That thing just spit fire!!!
┗ What???
┗ It’s using two skills on the 10th floor??? The Tower is insane!!
Visibility was further obscured by the thick poison fog, and the Waran began gathering fire in its open jaws.
Its reptilian senses could track Wakamo even without sight by following her body heat. Even if it couldn’t find her, the spreading poison would eventually cause her to suffer and die slowly.
But it wasn’t done. Inhaling deeply, the Waran gathered [Mana] and turned it into a gigantic fireball, launching it toward where Wakamo was standing.
“Poor thing.”
From within the dense poison smoke, barely visible, a massive shadow formed. Suddenly, the smoke was sucked away.
Like a tablecloth being yanked off a table, the poison cloud was pulled in, and the fireball headed toward Wakamo was smashed by something even larger.
Stuck in the swamp was a wrecking ball.
Weighing 700kg.
It was the same kind of wrecking ball hung from cranes used in demolition sites to smash buildings. It was also known to be used for hunting monsters that could escape the Tower if it collapsed.
A giant iron ball, slightly larger than Wakamo herself.
Attached to the ball was a chain.
“Even a lizard brain can understand what’s happening now, right──!!!!”
Crackkk!!
With a crushing sound, the iron ball whirled around, ripping through the swamp.
Wakamo wrapped the chain around her arm to secure it and began rotating the ball, building momentum with each spin.
The veins bulged on her thin arm as she gritted her teeth, taking a step forward. The spinning iron ball, now generating a suction of air, was launched like a cannonball toward the Waran’s head.
With surprising agility, the Waran dodged with a sidestep.
It quickly opened its mouth, preparing to spit out another fireball── but if it had better hearing, it would have realized something.
The sound of the iron ball hitting the ground never came.
Wakamo used [Mana Manipulation] to halt the ball mid-air.
The chain, taut and glistening, held the ball in suspension for just a moment.
Boom!
As the fireball exploded in the swamp, Wakamo leaped into the air, wrapping the chain around her waist and pulling the iron ball back toward herself.
[Stats]
Mana: 9,450
“Namu Amida Butsu!!!”
T/n: A Buddhist Phrase.
Then, summoning an [Additional Camera] mid-air using [Video Recording], she stepped on it and spun the chain, releasing it with full force.
This time, the Waran could not dodge. Its gaze, heavy with fatigue, followed the iron ball crashing down directly onto its head.
Thud!
Water from the swamp splashed upward, nearly reaching the ceiling.
Splash.
Wakamo landed as the Waran’s head, now split in two, sank into the swamp.
As the monster’s blood seeped up from the depths, Wakamo brushed her bangs aside and turned to her speechless viewers with a grin.
“V.”
With her shark-like teeth on full display, she made an upside-down V-sign.
The broadcast ended with the message, “See you in the fan café after-party.”
At that moment, the viewers exploded once again.
