Chapter 107: The Boundary of the Unconscious
His firm reply left me speechless.
"...How much time is left until our flight?"
I decided to change the subject. He was half-right, so I didn't really have a comeback.
"We have four hours left. If we leave now, we'll be right on time."
A chill suddenly ran down my spine. If our administrative agent hadn't insisted we start this morning, I would have missed the flight. Then I would have arrived late at the World Awakener Association, and in the meantime, my breast milk could have been rejected in the second review.
"Let's hurry. Are you coming too?"
"No. I don't really go outside."
"......"
True, if you lived with a view like this, you could probably get by just wandering around the Neutral Zones on every tenth floor.
After leaving the Tower, I deftly dodged a few Breeding Uncles who tried to pounce on me and headed for the airport.
I wasn't crazy enough to take public transportation.
Even I was aware that my body itself was enough to incite public indecency and rape. I took a taxi the guild had called in advance, went through immigration without being late, and boarded the plane.
Normally, Awakened have to go through a tedious separate screening process to leave the country, but the invitation from the World Awakener Association made it a breeze.
'Huu... Here we go.'
My breast milk was SSS-rank.
It might not seem as effective as my other traits, but the fact that I could sell it to someone was a huge advantage.
'How much should I charge for 200ml?'
When I had milked myself as much as possible to prepare breast milk for the guild members, I confirmed I could produce up to five liters a day. Even a rough calculation showed that an unimaginable amount of money would pile up.
If I pass the second review, the third should be a piece of cake.
The third review was just getting the final approval based on the results of the second. There had never been a case where someone passed the second review only to fail the third.
'Just you wait, my money...'
For some reason, my huge breasts, which had always been nothing but a nuisance, looked lovely today, so I hugged them tightly.
I was so mentally exhausted that I did nothing but sleep on the plane.
Since I'd booked a first-class seat, no one tried to secretly milk me or rape me while I was sleeping.
*
After about fourteen hours, I arrived at the airport in Switzerland.
When the arrival announcement came on, my body rose automatically.
"Haaahm~!"
I stretched wide and stepped off the plane.
"Hello, everyone. Did you all behave? Nothing happened while I was asleep, right?"
- Yup
- Just stared at your tits once in a while
- Do-hee, did you get a new Lewd Power trait?
- So can we buy that breast milk now?
"They say a new Lewd Power trait only appears once it hits 5000. And I have to pass the third review to sell the breast milk. It'll probably take a few more weeks. That's just how administrative procedures are."
Our guild's process is fast because we only have one administrative agent who does things as he pleases, but normally, it's painfully slow.
The World Awakener Association's administrative process, in particular, is notoriously slow, to the point where it seems like they're actively avoiding work. Of course, it's probably because their work is so important that they have to be cautious, but from my perspective, it's incredibly frustrating.
'I remember getting so frustrated in the past that I flew there myself, only to get shot by an anti-aircraft gun...'
It was a specialized anti-Awakener cannon reinforced with mana, so it stung a little.
I reminisced for a moment as I entered the airport terminal.
I even wore sunglasses for my airport fashion, making me feel like some kind of celebrity. And there were, in fact, people at the airport waiting to greet me.
They were... my international viewers?
- What the, was Do-hee this famous?
- Is this for real?
- They're really there?
About ten men were holding up signs with my ahegao face on them, cheering and chanting, "Sex! Sex!"
"Oh... who are they? They are definitely not my fans..."
I ignored my embarrassing fans and quickly walked in the other direction.
They were thrusting their hips in the air, shouting words like 'Fucking! Big dick! Sex! Asshole!' before being caught and dragged away by airport security.
"They're really not my fans..."
- lolololol
- Sigh
- The quality lol
- What's with the No-No Japan comment?
- Take responsibility, Lee Do-hee!
- Apologize with your pussy
- Do-hee's porn is popular overseas too
I wasn't aware of it, but apparently, GIFs of me fucking and porn videos from my Tower climbs were being actively shared on famous international sites and communities created by the overseas Pantheon TV.
I even heard that lately, fake news shorts with clips from the 22nd floor were being shared under the title 'Real k-pop star'.
"Is that true? You're lying, right...?"
- The proud daughter of South Korea, Lee Do-hee!
- Sorry, this bitch isn't Korean.
- You're ruining the image of K-pop...
- Isn't she saving it, not ruining it?
- lol, she went international with porn
- Fact: Do-hee's recognition dwarfs that of most K-pop stars.
- She is Japanese
- Just look at the views on your VODs. They're insane.
- The view count on Do-hee's porn videos completely crushes that of most singers lol
- Is this... the Korean Wave?
- You're truly an embarrassment wherever you go, Do-hee.
Come to think of it, there were quite a few foreigners who stared with wide eyes or looked surprised as I left the airport, as if they knew me.
At first, I thought they were just reacting to my body or face, but now it occurred to me that they might have actually recognized me.
'Is this a good thing...?'
No matter how I thought about it, it didn't seem like a good thing.
I got into the car sent by the Awakener Association and headed for the main building.
When an Awakener enters the Tower, all languages are automatically translated, but that function isn't provided outside.
With the help of the chat for translating and responding in English, I arrived at the second examination room.
There was no stripping me down to examine my body, no raping or humiliating me.
- What, I thought it was a detailed examination
- Isn't it standard procedure for a detailed examination to check inside the uterus?
- Why aren't they doing that thing they did in the prison?
- Fr, they should've stuck something in her pussy and butthole and scraped around
- Where's the truth serum aphrodisiac?
- What the hell are these guys fantasizing about? lol
"Sigh... You guys need to see a doctor."
I and the viewers were disappointed... no, only the viewers were disappointed.
The process was simple. I took a light morality test in front of an examiner who could detect lies, passed with a score over 90, and handed them the status window report my fans had compiled. And that was it.
When I looked at them with an expression that said, 'Is that really it? No physical exam?', they left the room before I could. Having confirmed through the lie detector that I was a saint who could live without laws, they didn't seem to care.
They said the third review would be conducted based on my emailed responses.
And just like that, the second examination ended anticlimactically.
"Is this it...?"
I had spent fourteen hours on a plane, but the examination didn't even take fourteen minutes.
I heard the Tower of Iran had collapsed yesterday, so things were in an uproar. To them, my morality test was probably nothing.
'But doesn't this mean the results of the third review will be delayed even more?'
In any case, I rested a bit at a nearby hotel before taking my pre-booked evening flight straight back to Korea.
There were no airport terrorists, no attacks from giant guilds—just a peaceful journey back to Korean soil.
- What? Why didn't anything happen?
- Where's the plane hijacking or the airport hostage situation?
- Why didn't we get to see her volunteer as a hostage and get humiliated?
"What do you think I am, some kid detective who attracts trouble wherever she goes...?"
Upon returning to Korea, I immediately cleared a repeatable floor to get one Skill Growth Ticket.
I needed three tickets to level up <Haste Lv.3> anyway.
So I just evolved <Strength Lv.1> to Lv.2. Now, using this skill would increase my Strength by 20 per stack.
I wanted to use Pussy Taming... no, anyway, the trial just had to be against Stone Golems, which are practically inanimate, so I couldn't use it.
- I thought I saw something like a dick about to pop out earlier
- Fr, I bet even the golem couldn't resist her
- Why didn't you do it with the golem?
"Where the hell would a golem have a dick...?"
- I saw it earlier.
I checked the VOD after reading that viewer's comment, but there was nothing of the sort.
"You, one day of self-reflection."
- Ack
- A man has died!
- Oof...
It was determined that the golem-dick did not exist.
I wanted to go straight to the 23rd floor, but I had finally saved up enough money to buy some gear, so I decided to postpone it for a bit of training.
"I'm definitely buying armor."
With the 3 billion won I had diligently saved from ads and donations, I bought a decent suit of armor.
Its name was <Pangolin-Scale Armor>.
It was a brutish, can-like suit of steel armor.
A full suit of steel that looked like it would severely restrict movement, but thanks to the effect of my Illusionary Garment, it wasn't a restriction for me at all.
This armor had only one effect.
Armor Defense: 300
Armor Defense is literally the defense of the armor itself, but now, due to the effect of my Illusionary Garment trait, that defense becomes my own.
I now had an extremely sturdy body.
- Holy shit, that's broken
- Getting 300 defense for free is just wrong
- To think she'd use a piece of trash armor that makes you immobile like this...?
- The tin can's stock is skyrocketing lol
And what about the equipment my past self had collected on the 10th floor? I decided to sell everything except the spear.
'I've decided to go in a completely different direction now, so I don't need it.'
Visions of my cool old skill that launched a barrage of weapons danced before my eyes, but I pushed them away.
I guess I wouldn't get to see that sight anymore—arrogantly crossing my arms, saying 'Open,' and watching all the enemies before me fall to the weapons firing from behind me.
Spearmanship was more important now. I decided to go all-in on it. I had seen immense potential in the Moon God Spear Record's secret manual.
And, of course, except for when I was providing elixirs, I was constantly training, circulating the Divine Power within my body to strengthen each part.
My proficiency had improved to the point where I could stably handle almost twice as much Divine Power as when I started.
It wasn't just about the amount of Divine Power; I also practiced a lot on reinforcing multiple parts of my body simultaneously.
'Calmly. Build from the basics. No one can imitate my training.'
I spent most of my days in Choi Tae-soo's training room.
I did Divine Power control training and consistently worked on my physical conditioning.
The physical conditioning was not only to raise my stats but also to increase my stamina.
Choi Tae-soo's training center was now bustling with people.
They were all my guild members, and for some reason, though I didn't know their names, their faces were familiar.
'What the hell, why do I remember that guy's dick being extra-large...?'
Our guild is an anonymous one.
To avoid attacks from giant guilds, it's a cell-based system, with members scattered about, unknown to one another. Of course, they get to know each other when forming parties on the same floor, but they don't know anyone outside their own party.
Feeling the strange sensation of somehow knowing the dick sizes of people whose names I didn't even know, I refocused on my training.
For the record, Choi Tae-soo also joined our guild.
But I didn't provide him with an elixir.
'Even if my body has changed, how could I have sex with a guy I've known like a brother for over ten years...'
We were basically childhood friends; I just couldn't bring myself to moan while looking him in the face.
It didn't become a big issue because I had added a clause to the guild membership terms stating that those who would no longer climb the Tower would be last in line for elixir provision.
Although it was based on an honor system and Choi Tae-soo was the only one who agreed to it, the clause was made with him in mind, so everyone was satisfied.
Except for when I masturbated while milking myself, I was completely absorbed in getting stronger.
*
Five days passed like that.
Training, conditioning.
Training, conditioning, meditation!
I even postponed some ads to focus solely on training. Maybe it was because providing the elixirs reduced my libido, but my head felt clearer, and I could focus well on my training.
And finally...
'I can do it now!!'
Irene had given me two assignments.
One was to increase the amount of Divine Power I could control. The second was to spread my Divine Power throughout my entire body so that whenever I used any muscle, it would be unconsciously reinforced with Divine Power.
Only by clearing these two stages could I pass the 'Reinforcement' part, the first of the three stages—Reinforcement, Concentration, and Combustion—of Straight Heart One Spear, the first form of the Moon God Spear Record.
The Divine Power control training would be a lifelong task because my Divine Power was so high, so I focused more on the second assignment, and I had finally completed it.
Irene had said it would take even a genius several weeks, but as expected, even if my mind isn't that of a genius, this body is clearly beyond one.
"I am ridiculously good at things involving my body!"
- Fr
- True, true
- Sex genius Lee Do-hee
'That's not what I meant...'
Anyway, with a reverent heart, I entered a private training room and thrust my spear into the air.
Thrusting a spear doesn't just use the muscles in your arm.
Your waist, your legs?
No, it's your entire body.
The degree of involvement varies, but your entire body's muscles are definitely in motion.
And the Divine Power spread throughout my body begins to reinforce all those muscles with the appropriate amount of strength, according to my will.
This process, likewise, takes less than 0.1 seconds. The key to this training is to have all the muscles in my body reinforce themselves with Divine Power in a balanced way, simultaneous with their movement.
The Divine Power must flow in proportion to the force used by the muscles to achieve harmony in the body. If the harmony is off, the transfer of power will be inefficient.
Swish!—With a sharp sound, my spear shot out, several times faster than usual.
'It's working... I've finally broken through a wall.'
I had trained until I could use the energy of this Divine Power unconsciously. It finally felt like my Divine Power had become a part of my body.
'Being able to use it unconsciously is no easy feat.'
The meaning of 'unconscious' here is like when you decide to run. You just think, 'I'm going to run,' without consciously thinking about the angle of your joints or each individual muscle in your legs.
Let's use a game as an example.
When you get skilled at a game, the moment you think, 'I need to use this combo here,' your fingers automatically execute an auto-Q-auto-Q-auto-Q-E-W-R in an instant.
It might take some time to learn at first, but once you're used to it, you don't have to think about each individual finger movement required for the combo; it just comes out automatically.
Of course, the task I accomplished unconsciously wasn't nearly that simple.
To be precise, the difficulty of unconsciously pressing hundreds of keys in 0.1 seconds the moment you think, 'I need to use this combo,' is comparable to the difficulty of me instantly reinforcing my body with Divine Power.
In reality, I was reinforcing hundreds of blood points, each with a different amount of force.
The secret manual refers to this as the 'boundary of the unconscious,' or the 'state of unity' where one's energy and body become one.
That's why it takes some people decades to master this, but it took me less than two weeks of training time to achieve it.
Now, the power of my spear thrust was on a completely different level.
It was completely different, even though I had only applied the first of the three stages of Straight Heart One Spear.
Although it consumed a certain amount of Divine Power each time I used it, it wasn't that much compared to my massive pool of Divine Power.
"Huu... This should be enough. But I can't be satisfied with just training alone in the air, can I? I'm going to go clear the 23rd floor."
Of course, I still needed consistent training to control even more Divine Power.
But right now, I was dying to try out this new technique for real.
Nothing could stop me now.
- ??
- There she goes again
- Ah, I'm on my 4th rewatch
- It might end quickly, so it's fine
'Irene, I'll make you take back what you said about me being a commoner.'
I've only mastered half of the first of three stages of the first of twenty-four forms, but my confidence is that of a Moon God Spear Record master.
I went to the Tower's waiting room and did a final check of my status window.
"Status Window."
< Final Stats >
Strength: 213.5→222
Agility: 152→155.5
Defense: 358→683
Divine Power: 2801.7→2966
Lewd Power: 1487.4→3606
Divine Power Recovery Rate: 2 per hour
Regeneration: 2
All-Attribute Resistance: 50
"Hmm... My defense has really become monstrous."
- Show us the Sex Status Window
"That's... something you don't need to know."
With that, I immediately began the 23rd-floor trial.
