I don’t know how, but it seems like the streamer is summoning cameras and recording everything. It’s probably some kind of magic or something.
As we all know, modern technology and firearms can’t be used inside the Tower. The only way to use them is if the climber clears certain floors.
That’s how it works for firearms. A climber can use a gun once they’ve met the right conditions and cleared those specific floors.
Why not just take a gun inside the Tower? That privilege is only for [Shooters] or Americans who are trained in shooting. Modern technology can’t be used in the Tower. Only a select few with very specific conditions met can use cameras in there.
[Wizards] can use their skills to record what they see as video, apparently. But seriously? Why would you waste an attack skill on recording video when you have to climb the Tower?
But if it’s some ancient form of sorcery, that’s a different story.
┗ What the hell are you even talking about? It’s a VTuber stream, of course it’s being recorded.
┗ Right? The streamer is a VTuber. What is this guy on about?
┗ Are you slandering the frontrunner of South Korea’s Metaverse era?
┗ Should we report him to the government? He’s a suspicious person!
┗ Big Brother is always watching!
┗ Wouldn’t this be more of a Little Sister situation? LOL
-This is the first time I’ve seen our gallery so clean.
-That’s because the mods are voluntarily stepping in!
-The number of mod applications is suspiciously high…
-Did the head mod get replaced without us knowing?
┗ Gasp
┗ Honestly, they weren’t great at their job.
┗ Wait? There was a head mod to begin with?
┗ LMAO this is turning into a real ghost story.
-Why isn’t she wearing a fundoshi…
┗ Disappointed because it’s black triangle underwear?
┗ Are you gay… Please control yourself…
┗ Did you want to see underwear that’s been worn for a thousand years? Are you insane? Do you want to bury your face in it and die?!
┗ Mod, can we ban this guy?

[Title: The streamer took the red pill. This is for real.]
Over 2 meters tall, weighing over 200kg.
She wields a giant wrecking ball effortlessly and freely.
And let’s not forget her undeniable Taekwondo skills…
Sometimes, she even gives a little fan service by showing her underwear when she spins her waist.
Turns out the streamer is actually a giant.
I got chills.
┗ What the hell are you talking about, you weeb?
┗ Shut up unless you’re talking about low health bars LOL
┗ I’m Kim Kaphwan, and yeah, this is legit.
(GIF of a giant spinning in a Shinobi outfit)
┗ WHY does this even exist, seriously!!!
┗ Do you even know how many weird fetishes exist in this fandom LOL
┗ Someone change this to a Wakamo version. Make it happen!
-Climbing the Tower to carry out justice…
-When I heard the chain clanging, I thought it was just some whipping move LOL
-Her chest size seems similar, too?
-Seeing this now, the streamer is really huge.

[Title: Is the Complete Conqueror Floor supposed to be this easy?]
(GIF of Wakamo cracking a believer’s head with a flail while shouting “Quiet down!”)
I mean, Complete Conqueror Floors aren’t that rare worldwide, right?
You see them pop up here and there, but it’s my first time seeing someone stack them back-to-back like this.
Is the streamer really that amazing? She doesn’t even have any foresight skills, so how does she predict things?
Wouldn’t it be easier to just use foresight to win the lottery and live a lazy life?
I mean, why does she even stream…?
I’m new here, so I don’t really know.
┗ I’ve heard there’s a theory that the difficulty varies depending on the [Occupation].
┗ Since the streamer is clearing so well, the Tower probably cranked up the difficulty, which makes sense.
┗ From the start, she met some unknown conditions to avoid being kicked out. You have to fulfil certain criteria that aren’t revealed before you clear a floor.
┗ That’s why people talk about kidnapping cases and such.
┗ But if you kidnap the streamer and kill her, the Tower erases her name, and another climber can become a Complete Conqueror Floor champion.
┗ Wait, could they even kidnap the streamer and kill her?
┗ She wouldn’t die until she finishes her VTuber stream! Imagine trying to deal with that LOL
┗ Newcomer, just watch the channel to find out why she streams LOL
┗ Welcome… to a channel filled with 2,500 VTuber clips…
┗ A crazy fox who collects every VTuber clip, both domestic and international.
┗ How did she even find a VTuber with just one subscriber and upload that LOL

Rewinding a little, Wakamo Inarizushi had just cleared the 10th floor.
“Whew… that was close!”
She had to ascend to the 11th floor immediately after ending her stream. That was the only way to survive. Did the believers even know about the short, death-defying life she was living?
But she wouldn’t say anything.
Whenever she streams, she must always appear relaxed, showing her viewers a fun and carefree persona. That’s the essential trait of a streamer, even before being a VTuber!
Yes… As a VTuber, the last moment between her and her believers should be one of mutual tears and farewells.
A final wave, thanking them for their support, disappearing into internet immortality, forever recorded.
Wakamo planned to keep VTubing until her very last breath!!
And even if she died, she wouldn’t come back reincarnated as another VTuber, awkwardly saying, “I debuted today.” No way.
“If you graduate and disappear, don’t come back as someone else!!!!”
She’d rather leave for somewhere bigger, somewhere she could stream more freely. In such a case, she’d wave goodbye with tears of gratitude.
Many VTubers vanish because of mistakes. Graduating from a large agency and getting a proper send-off is a blessing in itself.
No matter if you’re a VTuber or a streamer, you must always be careful with what you say and avoid making mistakes that will haunt you.
Especially in South Korea, there’s more freedom for those transitioning out of big companies. They often become independent, like our clumsy Inch Law Queen.
But in larger companies overseas, most of the time, VTubers reincarnate under a new identity.
The terms reincarnation and past life are thrown around while jokingly greeting each other with a “Nice to meet you for the first time” line, despite the happiness of reuniting. They joke that just because your current life changes doesn’t mean your habits or slip-ups from your previous life or stream won’t show. And that, in itself, becomes a funny topic for the viewers to laugh about together.
Yes.
I only hope that if the time ever comes for the end of Wakamo Inarizushi, it won’t be a tragic one.
“I’d rather die alone in an unknown wilderness!!!”
Is there anything sadder than suddenly dying after saying you’ll stream tomorrow, only to unexpectedly die in your sleep?!
If her Believers were waiting for Wakamo to return and say something like, “Is this the moment where we spread out that grandma…?”
That’d bring a tear to the eye.
“I really need to pay more attention to managing my mana….”
Though she only shows her relaxed side during the streams, after turning off the broadcast, she murmurs her repressed fears and worries, using them to calm herself down.
“This time, the 10th floor felt more like an event. The conditions weren’t as tough as I expected.”
──No, when you look back on it, most of the conditions were kind to Wakamo. Knowing the conditions, it seems easy, but…
That’s only because Wakamo has access to information about how to clear Incheon Tower. In the old days, people climbed the tower without knowing anything, and even now, when a new tower appears, many Climbers risk their lives to obtain information.
Even though the Tower seems kind to humans, it’s still a place where you could lose your life if you’re careless!
Take the Orc Fighter on the 9th floor, for example. It ambushed you as soon as you arrived, didn’t it? What if that had been a sword attack?
If the difficulty keeps increasing like this, I’ll need to be more prepared for all kinds of situations.
And the penalty of not being able to leave the Tower, even though I’m not on the top floor, came out of nowhere, didn’t it?
Not aiming for a Complete Conqueror Floor and simply climbing the tower is one way to go.
“But if I do that, my Believers will be disappointed!!”
What they expect from me are moments like that, right?
In that case, I have no choice but to keep risking my life to hit continuous strikes.
[The 10th floor of Incheon Tower has achieved the Platinum Condition and is now open to all of humanity!!]
[Rewards have increased due to the Platinum Clear of the Tower.]
[You are the first to achieve 10 consecutive Platinum Clears in human history.]
“…Wait, seriously? That’s it?”
I was a bit flustered. Really..?
When you look at it globally, there are actually more Complete Conqueror Floor Climbers than you’d think, as some get their hands on the information by killing the Conquerors and taking their knowledge.
But Wakamo Inarizushi was the only person to achieve 10 consecutive clears from the 1st to the 10th floor like this!
‘It was the first tower I climbed, and the conditions seemed easy, but you need to know the conditions to avoid making mistakes…’
Most Climbers probably just stomped the Oil Slime on the 1st floor and moved on to the 2nd.
“So, what exactly is the reward for consecutive achievements…?”
[A new area, ‘Wakamo Inarizushi 1st Floor,’ will be added to the Incheon Tower, encompassing all regions from the 1st to the 10th floor.]
[This new area is composed of all sections from the 1st to the 10th floor, combined into a new environment with a total area of 410 km².]
“Ah, so it’s not a single combined floor of 1 to 10, but they give me a whole new floor on top of those floors…”
[We look forward to Wakamo Inarizushi’s continued climbing of the Incheon 100-floor Tower!]
“Wow, I hit the jackpot with real estate. How big is this exactly?”
Later, I found out it’s about the size of Ganghwa County, a self-governing county in Incheon.
A plot of land that could accommodate 70,000 people, not even Climbers, but regular folks, was given as a reward in the form of an Open World!!
[You have acquired the class-exclusive skill 【Open World】!]
“Ooh… an open world is a skill? Just how broken is this…?”
【Open World】
- The title of the owner of ‘Wakamo Inarizushi 1st Floor.’
- Anyone residing within can watch your Broadcast from anywhere.
‘My class is complete trash…’
Thwack!
She slapped her face hard enough to nearly dislocate her jaw, cutting off that train of thought.
Whew, that was close… I almost insulted my own class!!
[[My Worlds] skill has been upgraded to [Large Full-Option One-Room Size]. You can now consume your mana to generate electricity.]
“….! Finally!!”
It was thrilling news that the skill had been upgraded. I could finally use my computer to get things done…!!
And it wasn’t just that.
[[Assets available for registration with the VTuber Assets skill have been expanded.]
“Next time, I’ll pick something decent… maybe I should throw in a wrecking ball…?”
The viewer reaction seemed more enthusiastic than I expected, so I should probably consider their opinions.
And most importantly… it was finally here!! The chance to choose a Skill!!
“I’m definitely picking an attack skill and a mana recovery skill!!! I won’t change my mind, no matter what comes up!!”
[Please choose one reward.]
[Idol’s Protection]
- Grants buffs to your Believers proportional to your floor level.
[Weight of Faith]
- Allows you to become lighter or heavier, depending on the number of Believers.
[Flame of the Idol]
- Consumes your mana to create flames.
[Worshipped God]
- Increases mana recovery rate proportional to the number of Believers.
Class-exclusive skill: 【Healthy Broadcast】
- Increases the health of subscribed VTubers.
- Improves immunity to minor diseases.
- Increases recovery speed from fatigue.
“Damn you, Tower… All the other skills are ‘do this,’ but why is my class-exclusive skill all about ‘improving health’?! How much healthier do I need to get? Can it cure depression?! I’m desperate here. I’ll get on my knees and beg, just answer me!!!”
Throwing away all pride and dignity, she knelt down and begged! But the heartless Tower gave no answer.
It only gave a small health recovery boost and minor disease immunity to the VTubers she subscribed to.
They could now stream healthily all day without getting tired, without even needing to sleep or suffer from colds…
“I need to protect them…”
[You have acquired the skill 【Healthy Broadcast】!]
Although this skill didn’t give any advantage beyond making her and her VTubers disease-free and requiring less sleep, the trials ahead were truly agonizing for Wakamo, who would choose curing her Oshi’s terminal illness over immortality without hesitation.
There are no regrets. Rather, the fullness swelling inside is surely joy!!
“Besides, everything before this was about Believers and gods and idols!! Seriously, damn it!! Why is it that only my exclusive skill uses a modern term like ‘subscribed VTuber’!!!”
Wakamo, now kneeling, broke down into tears.
“I just want an Attack Skill!! Uwaaaaah!!”
Lying flat on the floor, she flailed her arms and legs wildly in a tantrum, her sobbing undignified.
“Give me a good Attack Skill and weapon too──!!!”
Was it too much to expect, considering her class was like that in the first place?
“Are you okay over there?”
Forgetting for a moment that she had reached the 11th floor, Wakamo turned her head toward the voice nearby. She locked eyes with someone crouched nearby, and various thoughts raced through her mind, but the first thing she needed to do was confirm the facts.
“How long have you been here?”
“Fom ther bery begginning?”
※※※
“Isn’t she more like an Ogre than a fox?”
“Isn’t this the legendary Eight-Feet Ghost?”
For better or worse─the reputation of Wakamo soared to the skies.
Even Otaku who simply wanted to enjoy watching VTuber streams found themselves overwhelmed by the massive influx of new viewers.
Despite closing donations and not accepting money, and despite having no means of communication other than the stream itself, her popularity surged uncontrollably. Even though many people wrote on the café forum, there was no way to reach her since the manager in charge of the café was a government employee, making any attempt at contact pointless.
What Wakamo worried about, amidst her growing fame, was whether other VTubers might suffer because of her success.
“Today, I watched another VTuber trainee… You think she’s just a hopeful wannabe? Wrong!!! Don’t doubt it!! Anyway… her editing skills and concept were great, but while aiming for 100,000 subscribers, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the Queen… So many VTubers work hard from their trainee days, but is it really okay for me to just take it easy like this? What if other VTubers get hurt because of me?”
Wakamo candidly shared her thoughts on the café, but the Believers complained that all she ever talked about was VTuber stuff. They were also upset because the planned café tour stream had been canceled, making them even more annoyed.
But what could she do?
Achieving the unprecedented feat of conquering Complete Conqueror Floors consecutively up to the 10th floor, and then hearing the shocking news that the Tower had rewarded her with an entire floor as a Private Climber was enough to make anyone curious.
In a world where Monsters were escaping from collapsing Towers and attacking villages, it had been a long time since South Korea had received such good news.
Some people cheered, saying, “National pride going wild! Call the tavern owner!!” But then others started to argue, “Isn’t the streamer Japanese?” and discussions about national pride erupted, with some even fearing that if a big Japanese corporation asked her to debut, she might leave.
The government was also concerned.
Suddenly, the Tower Countermeasure Association had gained immense power and influence. It was what they called a “low-point buy.”
For five years, they had somehow managed to hide (or keep secret) the existence of such a Fox God, and the timing of the contract was nothing short of impeccable.
It could be said that the entire city of Incheon was now in the hands of the Chairman.
At an official press conference, they announced that the vast land would be leased at affordable rates to Guilds and companies. While the government rushed to roll out various support policies, it was clear that any permissions would have to go through the Chairman.
“One thing is certain: South Korea is about to undergo significant changes.”
The Chairman, who had resolved to act as a breakwater, smiled as he observed the chaotic movements of the government and various political parties.
There was undoubtedly an uproar overseas as well. Who could have predicted such a secret? From now on, all sorts of bothersome people would be trying to get close to Wakamo.
“This makes it clear. She has the ability to understand the Complete Conqueror Floor conditions.”
Even though they couldn’t determine what her class was, if she turned out to have a Legendary Class, there would definitely be people who would press her for her advancement conditions.
They had already spread false information that she had the condition of being an “Idol who has lived for a thousand years.”
There would be suspicions that her race had changed, but in that case, she would have shown smarter abilities by now.
Didn’t she herself claim that she had lost her divine and sorcery powers, relying only on her physical strength? That’s all they believed.
In reality, her non-combat VTuber class was the reason for her lower early-game difficulty, and because the Tower judged her VTuber character as an idol, it treated the virtual world of Virtual Chat as being similar to the Tower, which allowed her to view the Conqueror Floor Information and thus see the conditions for advancement.
This was a truth that even Wakamo didn’t know and likely wouldn’t care about.
Moreover, if Wakamo had built a weaker VTuber character, she would have faced greater difficulties in her climb.
But thanks to the concept she had created herself, her large, physically strong body and tall stature made her well-suited for battle.
There were even people who had trained themselves, thinking they might one day become Climbers.
One could say the opportunity had come to those who were prepared.
“No criminal records either. There’s nothing to nitpick about.”
And even if there were, they would be wiped clean. A false identity? Such records had been erased long ago.
At most, there was a small prank of tearing off a metal pole at a demolition site. It’s not a big deal if a Fox runs off with a round object. The construction manager even laughed it off, saying it was fine.
“I’m screwed….”
Meanwhile, back on the 11th floor.
Wakamo, who had abducted the Climber who had been on the same floor as her and dragged them into her room, was now sweating nervously.
“How old are you?”
“Seventeen.”
Her pronunciation was strange, as if her tongue was too short… but regardless, Wakamo knew she was really in trouble.
She had just kidnapped a high school girl(?) and brought her home! There was only one solution left.
“I’ll have to threaten her into becoming a VTuber…”
“Huh?”
Sorry for being so rude on our first meeting, but from today on, you’ll have to become a VTuber if you want to leave.
That’s the rule in this house from now on.
