[Title: Sword Drawing from Chest Rip-off Alert]
(GIF of the Fox God pulling a sword from her chest and swinging it).
The Seal of the Nation… Kusanagi Blade…
The very essence of legitimacy in the Far East.
Our Fox God possesses the authentic relics that both China and Japan seek.
Holding the national treasures of both countries.
A fox who claims Korea as her homeland, our thousand-year-old Fox God.
Do you see now? We have never been a small nation…
– But isn’t this sword-drawing-from-the-chest thing a rip-off from God-tier Game?
ㄴ The OST from God Anime Crown is the original, okay?
ㄴ Revolutionary Girl came first, you little brats…
ㄴ Do any of you even remember that, old man?
ㄴ Why are the kids bickering here, lol?
– Doesn’t Mazinger also pull out a sword from its chest?
ㄴ Ah, so you know about Super Robot Wars!
ㄴ There’s also Combined Super Robots…
ㄴ All you rookies who don’t know about the Voltes Heavenly Sword, stay out!
– Please remember Arise too…
– If it’s Korean-made, isn’t it Dokkaebi, you jerks?
ㄴ Wow, the entire national otaku club has gathered; it’s the end times.
ㄴ Also, there’s X’s Exorcist…

[Title: Why on Earth is Our Channel Owner Called a Monster?]
(Picture of the channel owner’s internet history)
Our channel owner can’t live without pure love stories, yuri, and villainess stories…
Our channel owner even wrote pure love yuri stories set in an all-girls school…
Our channel owner practices drawing to sketch her favorite pairings…
Our channel owner just quietly enjoys beautiful VTubers…
Our channel owner thinks the bigger the butt and chest, the better…
Our channel owner finds the triangle between thighs irresistible…
Ever since before the Tower’s Collapse, she’s been a familiar presence on the internet.
Sure, her true identity is the Fox God, but so what?
Are you discriminating because she’s a Black Fox?
Are you implying our Lady Wakamo is some kind of Asian… you-know-what?
– Why did it suddenly take such a wild turn, lol?
– There are more White Foxes in Japan… our channel owner’s facing discrimination.
– Do even beasts face bullying in Japan…?
– Only Inari treated her kindly…
– By the way, how did she even get her ID? Did she swap it? We should be concerned, you know.
ㄴ Are you trying to slander a figure who raises our nation’s dignity more than any president?
ㄴ Either way, it’s the government that’ll face the music, not us, lol.
ㄴ The Fox God is here to rule us? She’s protecting us from monsters? Isn’t that good?
ㄴ Oh…? Right…?
ㄴ If she regains her divine powers, she could even foresee natural disasters. Why is this a problem?
ㄴ I mean, she’s still not human, so isn’t it risky…
ㄴ You commie jerk!
ㄴ Get out of Korea!

[Title: Honestly, I Was Freaked Out — Like This Post If You Were Too]
I was actually worried our channel owner, who loves VTubers, would go to Japan and not come back.
If she conquers Japan’s Tower too, does she really need to climb the one in Korea?
Then, hearing she even built a Shrine at the Fist King’s Dojo, I thought, “Ah… she’s become a rocket launchpad.”
But it wasn’t like that.
Our channel owner didn’t abandon her Believers.
(Uu Ttuttyai… picture of Wakamo wanting candy)
Wakamo, who simply loves Korea…
Seriously, China and Japan are trying to kill her, so what’s our government doing?
Domestic foxes are a protected species!!!
– A government that doesn’t even give our channel owner a rabies shot should be ashamed, ugh.
– Let’s just make her our king, right? Let’s revert to monarchy.
ㄴ Oh~ sounds like something only the British would do.
– We’ve only been invaded so far; can’t we invade a bit ourselves?
ㄴ (Picture of Wakamo holding the Seal of the Nation) There’s a tradition in the Chinese imperial family.
ㄴ (Picture of Wakamo with the Heavenly Sword) She’s the rightful owner of Japan’s sacred sword.
– If our 500,000 subscribers rally, we could even reclaim Goguryeo’s land…
– These people have all gone mad together, lol.
– But China’s government is whining for the Seal. Isn’t Japan’s government doing the same?
ㄴ If they’re bothered by a monster holding it, they should come take it.
ㄴ The monster (friends with the Fist King).
ㄴ Fox God… you’ve grown too popular…
As always, the community ignites passionately whenever Wakamo shows something.
Given her age, the debate over the “original” sword-drawing-from-chest move sparks a generational clash, with fans of different eras bickering in friendly chaos. And while this question has popped up occasionally before, the hottest topic inevitably revolves around Wakamo’s true identity.
At first, some speculated she was just a Fox Beastfolk who managed to get a Legendary Class through some trick.
They’d say, “She’s just a VTuber doing her job.” But as time went on, with her displays of various skills and holding numerous inexplicable items, people were starting to suspect.
It was already absurd enough that she claimed to hold the Seal of the Nation, but now, she’s brandishing the Kusanagi Blade, the most renowned sacred sword in Japanese history. The shocking implication was that the one held by the Japanese imperial family could be a fake.
The Believers were increasingly convinced she was the genuine Fox God, claiming she existed long before the Tower’s Collapse.
Naturally, opinions diverged again. Since she existed before the Tower’s Collapse, it was certain she wasn’t a monster. But what was her true nature, exactly? Some speculated she was lying, having emerged after the Collapse.
Others even speculated that the government was fully aware, especially considering her manager was Captain Won Da-hye, the rumored next Chairman of the Climber Association.
In the end, all it would take to clear things up would be for Wakamo to tell the truth herself.
But all Wakamo would say is that she’s the Fox God. Her straightforward stance left many Believers speechless, knowing that even if she told the truth, there’d be those who wouldn’t believe it anyway.
As Korea’s only Complete Conqueror Climber with consecutive clears, the media quietly watches, hoping she’ll one day make waves. But even if she really is a god-like entity, being hated wouldn’t be beneficial, so it’s wise to stay cautious even when the chance arises.
VTubers don’t speak about the Red Pill. She’s a professional VTuber, after all.
She added with a brazen face that she was just a country fox who didn’t know much about history.
“Let politicians deal with political issues! I’m just a VTuber! All a Climber needs to do is climb well!!!”
Could there possibly be another fox so shameless? As certain posts that crossed the line quietly disappeared and the notorious troublemakers on the forums began to vanish one by one, Believers gave Wakamo a round of applause, thankful for the clean internet culture (?) she was creating.
Viewers, too, long accepted that the government and the Association would handle everything, enjoying a nationalistic high instead.
※※※
Right after Wakamo departed, declaring she would return to Korea.
The Fist King, thoroughly displeased with the situation, did not hide his frustration as he asked the subordinate standing beside the Chairman.
“So, what’s Japan’s stance on this? Are they demanding that our Lady Wakamo hand over her belongings?”
Caught between the Fist King and the Chairman, the unfortunate Assemblyman Tetsuya wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, glancing nervously at the two men.
In the modern day, Japan still has its imperial family and royalty. It would only be logical for them to claim ownership of the sacred relic, which had reappeared after being lost long ago.
But they were not fools. The calculations had been done long ago, determining which side held the advantage.
After all, the Korean president had already declared to the Japanese Prime Minister that Fox God Wakamo was a monster and a threat, not only to Korea but to all of Asia.
The Prime Minister, realizing the benefit of aligning with Wakamo, responded favorably, even planning to create a plaque of appreciation for Wakamo, who had established the Complete Conqueror.
Although Wakamo declined the offer, saying that as a VTuber, she couldn’t reveal the Red Pill and didn’t intend to personally receive it.
In a friendly gesture, the Japanese side suggested that her manager could accept it on her behalf.
Naturally, they also blamed the Sorcerer’s Association for being a nuisance. The media harshly criticized the Sorcerer’s Association to the point where the entire nation condemned them, and even the Fist King gave an interview, stating they had attacked his dojo, leading to the complete destruction of four Companions.
Although the Sorcerer Association was the largest of its kind in Japan, with many Climbers from abroad coming to train, the Association’s political influence was gradually waning due to the political tussle.
Observing this spectacle, the Japanese Chairman was quietly in awe.
“A true Fox God of wisdom! She’s shown that she can achieve a Complete Conqueror in any Tower and has even offered the title to the Japanese Climber Association as a gesture of goodwill. Now that the Sorcerer’s Association caused a disturbance, she’s in a favorable position.”
The Fox God may have been planning this grand scheme from the moment the Fist King approached her.
If she were a normal person, she would have heard about the possible attack from Captain Won Da-hye, yet she still left in the early morning.
Had she anticipated the Sorcerer’s Association’s intrusion and avoided heading toward the entrance? She must have sensed the Fist King’s strength and known he’d visit at dawn.
With outstanding skill, she gained the favor of Japan’s strongest Climber.
Out of consideration for the dojo’s few disciples, she gifted them the Fox God’s Shrine. She showed that she hadn’t completely turned her back on Japan and handled attacks from both the Sorcerer’s Association and the ninja, proving her abilities.
What she displayed next was a demonstration of true Spellcasting power.
“If Wakamo Inarizushi’s occupation is Sorcerer…”
Her true identity is essentially the real Fox God!!
Furthermore, if she’s not even registered as a Companion, she could be of the Original Lineage…!
“Could she be… the legendary Kuzunoha, the mother of Seimei the Onmyoji?”
But Kuzunoha wasn’t a white fox. Perhaps they were just friends (?).
If that’s the case, it’s even more eerie.
She can show illusions, after all, imitating the skills of Sorcerers to deceive the public into thinking she is one.
She can use Kuzunoha Style Sorcery regardless of her occupation!
“It’s been so long since something sent chills down my spine… I’ve been dancing in the palm of her hand all along…”
Conquering only the 10th layer as a Complete Conqueror was merely a taste. It was her way of testing how a nation would judge her value in this era of New Humans, the age of Climbers.
“Even if it’s only a single layer, in the event of an earthquake or natural disaster, it can serve as a refuge…”
In fact, the monster-filled layers of the Kyoto Tower lacked valuable resources. Wakamo likely took this into account and chose the relatively spacious boss layer, the 10th floor.
Her silent demonstration was clear—if Japan continued to support her, she could offer them even more.
“Heh heh… Old man, where did you find such a monster…”
Though her former colleague had always been sneaky and ruthless, she could not help but tremble in the presence of a figure of such magnitude, whose very name made her palms sweat.
With a cigarette she thought she’d quit, she looked toward the transformed Kyoto Tower with both worry and anticipation for the era to come.
“…But it seems it’s true that she cares about people.”
When asked if she truly didn’t want any benefits from the Complete Conqueror, her answer had been:
“Just help solve the issues with black companies. A VTuber I know is struggling.”
It sounded like a joke, but it was a sincere wish that people wouldn’t suffer.
If the resources gained from the Kyoto Tower increased, Japan would grow wealthier, and people’s lives would improve.
Perhaps her departure without setting a return date was her way of instilling hope in others.
“I really preferred it when people stayed away.”
The Chairman turned to look at the man who had been dismissed as a relic of the past, disregarded even with the title of Fist King, and had almost no disciples to speak of.
People were lining up to see the Fox God’s Shrine.
If Wakamo continued down this path, many more would come to his dojo.
“I don’t want to cry at this age, but she truly is a kind person.”
The Fist King, his voice trembling, squeezed his eyes shut, but eventually, tears welled up.
“I used to climb the steps to the Inari Shrine whenever I felt down, praying with each step. It seems the god has finally answered my wish.”
The sight of new disciples among the crowd felt like his struggles were finally rewarded.
It seemed the Fox God had come to reward him for his unwavering dedication to his dream.
“Dammit… I shouldn’t be crying…”
The Fist King couldn’t hold back the wave of pent-up sorrow that burst forth. Although as a martial artist, he should maintain perfect composure, he silently berated himself for his immaturity as the Chairman offered him a handkerchief.
The Chairman said nothing.
Instead, as if looking elsewhere, he gazed into the distance with a smile, exhaling a cloud of smoke.
Almost as if releasing half his worries with it.
※※※
Regardless of how people misunderstood Wakamo.
The Fox God VTuber Wakamo, who couldn’t be questioned about the Red Pill, was now examining her rewards for conquering the 10th layer of Kyoto Tower.
[Due to the Tower’s Platinum Achievement, rewards have increased.]
[You have acquired the Artifact-Grade Item [Ceremonial Bronze Bell]!]
[Ceremonial Bronze Bell]
Grade: Artifact.
A divine item symbolizing the authority of the ruling class.
It is also known as the “Eight-Jewel Bell.”
Ritual Bonus +33%
Jingle jingle─
“This isn’t… some kind of octopus massager, right…”
She thought it looked quite similar to a hotteok press or something.
Holding the handle and giving it a jingle, Wakamo sighed, wondering why she was given such trash.
There was nothing else she gained.
Job-Specific Skill 【Broadcast Points】

Additional Attribute Points: 27
Clearing the 10th floor as a Complete Conqueror did not yield any attribute points.
She wanted to increase her mana, but there were no attributes Wakamo could raise to increase mana.
Her mana only rose in proportion to her Subscriber Count!!
Tremble, tremble…
She could endure it…
The fact that she could endure it a little bit… meant she could endure it forever…
Barely… barely!!! This much rage!!
Wakamo, do not be obsessed with climbing the Tower.
The most important thing as a VTuber is the viewers, above all else.
Were the Believers pleased? Isn’t that satisfaction enough for me?
Yes, she was satisfied. That’s enough.
Exhaling deeply…
Even after returning to Korea from Japan, she struggled to quell the lingering anger, splashing cold water on her head to regain her composure.
Maintain clarity of mind, Wakamo.
If today’s broadcast went well, do another broadcast tomorrow, and an even bigger event after that…
Sitting in place, she calmed her anger, refusing to be swayed by the Tower’s antics.
She cherished the fact that she was chosen for the VTuber occupation… that her passion had become her profession.
Just like the Fist King who showed his love for his dream, Wakamo, the VTuber, must also stay true to her calling…
“I have built a solid foundation.”
For now─ let’s consider the reality, not the dream and romance of being a VTuber.
Japan’s “Second and Third Generations” have all kinds of VTubers. There are even VTubers who sing death metal at a professional level and legendary figures who transformed the 3D video world into Live2D by leading such a group, earning the title “Emperor.”
Depending on the corporate tax rate of each company, what is the main source of income for Japanese VTubers?
On YouTube, there’s Super Chat, membership broadcasts known as mengen, and even voice packs.
Even that pitiful Shiba VTuber, who is hated somewhere, once pleaded, saying it would be nice if people bought her voice pack.
“It’s still too early to make a voice pack for Yu Ying by analyzing the 80 voice packs I bought from other VTubers I know… So maybe it’ll be a membership broadcast.”
ASMR might be good too… but let’s think it over calmly.
Right now, I’m thinking as the CEO of my own VTuber company, considering my affiliated VTuber Hajime Ichigo.
I must not let anger overwhelm me. I should display only the kind of anger that’s entertaining.
Control yourself, as a martial artist, and manage your anger… There are so many streamers who’ve ruined their careers with a slip of the tongue after a sudden outburst.
Always be serious and cautious when speaking. And wield humor that makes Believers laugh like a sharp blade.
Grasp the flowing trends, disrupt expectations like karate, and create enjoyable broadcasts.
Constantly ponder what an ideal VTuber broadcast is…
“I’ve thought of good content.”
“Boss… you’re really going to make content for Yu Ying?”
As Wakamo turned on the shower in the bathroom and began her training under the waterfall, she felt a realization dawn on her. Yu Ying cautiously asked for permission.
Were you watching?
Damn it, how embarrassing.
“WAZZUP!!! OHAKOS!!! It’s Wakamo Inarizushi!! Did you all wait long?”
– I want to see Boss’s Red Pill!
– Show me the loli.
– Finally, the local fox is back!!
– Here comes my dopamine!!
– You really do work so diligently…
– Uh, but is today’s title correct?
– Isn’t she basically an expert? lol
The Believers rushed in as soon as the broadcast began. Some newcomers asked questions, likely due to what she showed in Japan, but Wakamo paid no attention to them.
She simply pointed her finger to the top of the screen where the broadcast rules were written.
The rules were clear: No questioning about the Red Pill, No causing inconvenience to other VTubers, and No harsh language as a VTuber!
Since Wakamo didn’t accept donations, Believers sneered at the newcomers, urging them to adapt, glancing once more at the broadcast title the Boss had written.
[Fox God’s Proxy Summoning Service: Will Do Anything For You!]
She prominently displayed the Imperial Seal.
Behind her, a banner with the words “Genuine Guarantee! The Native Fox God!” hung, radiating an aura of intensity.
Holding the Kusanagi Blade in one hand and jingling the Ceremonial Bronze Bell with the other, Wakamo had Ichigo beat a drum in time beside her.
– Is this for real…?
– I think we’re in the right place.
– Only the Boss would pull off content like this in a studio.
– Is she going to do a ritual dance now?
