Chapter 13: Naked Debate
Of course, this wasn't the kind of problem I could just brush off with a simple "I'll forget about it~."
The 1st floor could be written off as a medical accident, but this time, I had shot a full-blown porno with the goblins, no excuses.
‘If I were a real woman, I might have seriously considered ending it all.’
Not that it didn't affect me, but after over two hours of that intense, strenuous workout, my body and mind had cooled down, and now I felt nothing.
It was like eating Shin Ramyun right after a bowl of Buldak Spicy Noodles.
This is spicy too, I guess? But the shock from before was so immense that now it just felt like, ‘Hmm… is that all?’
So,
“Thank you, everyone! That’s all for now!”
I was about to end the stream, but—
- Rewaaaaard!!!
- Streamer, you have to show us the 2nd-floor reward before you go, lmao.
- Fuck, even the viewers here are serious about the Tower… After what she went through, they're asking about the reward first, lmao.
- Hey, the reward is a serious matter~
- Reward reward reward reward
- You have to go to the next floor, don't you?
- Gotta do what you gotta do~
“Ah, right. I’ll just make my reward selection.”
I almost forgot the most important part and ended the stream.
[Please select an A-rank reward]
A-rank, no less. It was a shame it wasn't S-rank, but for six goblins and one hobgoblin, I figured it was a fair reward.
"Hmm..... what should I pick?"
Before me were countless palm-sized cards. On them were the names of classes—Warrior, Archer, Mage, Priest, Whore—each with a chibi-style drawing representing them, all glowing with a golden border that signified A-rank.
‘Wait, what’s with that Whore class?’
I deleted it instantly without a second glance.
- What?
- What was that just now?
- Wasn't that Whore?
- Shit, her hand was so fast I couldn't see.
- Something just flashed by....
- What was it?
- I thought I saw Whore too, but maybe I saw wrong?
- A woman holding a spear? [T/N: The Korean words for “spear” (chang) and “prostitute” (changnyeo) share the syllable chang.]
- But the picture looked kinda lewd for that.....
"Alright, alright.... stop talking about seeing strange things. What I'm going to choose is...."
The selection method was simple.
For example, if I pressed the card that said [Archer] with a picture of a woman holding a bow, the card would flip over—
<Path of the Archer>
Agility +3
Strength +2
You can choose to learn one basic archery-related skill.
- and display the description.
The rewards for floors 1 through 10 all had a set theme. There was a reason they were called the tutorial floors. Among them, the 2nd floor was where you chose the direction you would take from now on.
To put it in simple game terms, it was like choosing your class.
"Hmm....."
There was a strange glitch for a moment, but this choice was so important that it was quickly forgotten.
- Seeing how she used that staff, going for the Warrior type seems like the safe bet.
- Nah, with a 200% mana pool boost, she should obviously go Mage.
- Seriously, if it wasn't for that bullshit poison dart....
- What do you mean, Mage....
- The fight itself was insane, though.
- Go for Path of the Warrior.
- For real, she fought well. I recommend Warrior.
- Path of the Mage, let's go!
- Staff Girl Lee Do-hee, let's goooo~!
- I don't know where she learned it, but she should probably go with a spear or staff build.
- I want to see her become a mage and spam high-level magic~
Hmm......
Most of them seemed to be expecting the Path of the Warrior or Mage.
‘In the past, I did choose the Path of the Warrior here......’
But I could no longer follow the same path as my previous life.
In my past life, I started with the broken-ass trait <Versatile>, which boosted all my stats by 50% and all weapon masteries by 100%. I used that to become a magic swordsman who used all kinds of weapons to climb the Tower.
But look at my traits now.
[S-rank Onahole Body]
Strength +10%
Agility -50%
Defense +100%
Mana +100%
[A-rank Mana Pool]
Mana +100%
Because of some weird onahole trait, I wouldn't be efficient even if I took the same path. Not only that, but later on, there’s a hidden piece that lets you fuse your existing traits with new ones, and if I continue like this, that will be difficult to use as well.
So, am I screwed?
No.
‘I've found a better path.’
Selection and focus.
A path to becoming stronger in the most efficient way, a path only I knew because I had used every weapon in my past life and knew almost all the traits of the high-rank Awakeners from every guild.
I hadn't spent the last week just exercising and admiring my body in the mirror. I had organized in my head all the traits, weapons, and equipment I needed to acquire, preparing for any deviations that might occur with my current traits.
And so, what I will choose on the 2nd floor is—
<Path of the Priest>
Mana +3
Defense +2
You can learn 1 basic magic spell.
The Path of the Priest.
This is the first reward that will brilliantly illuminate the path I am to walk.
『Selection complete. May blessings be upon your path.』
『Now, please choose one basic magic spell.』
- ???
- ?
- Is this bitch for real?
- Why a Priest all of a sudden?
- She has a lot of mana, but....
- Huh?
- You've got to be kidding me, lol.
- If you have a lot of mana, you should've gone Mage. What is this?
- ????
- Do-hee?
- Excuse me???
A Priest is, for all intents and purposes, a support class. But the percentage of people who choose Priest on the 2nd floor is less than 1%.
The reason is simple.
The survival rate is catastrophically low. That's it.
Unless you're a mutant muscle monster like Choi Tae-soo, a support class can't survive the 10th floor, let alone the solo-only floors that are guaranteed to appear later.
"Hold on. I'll explain this time. Let me just learn one basic spell first."
And the basic spell I will learn is......
[ Haste Lv.1 ]
Consume 5 mana to increase Agility by 1 for 1 hour.
- Huh?
- ?????
- What the hell is this?
- Fuck, not this.
- Just 1??
- A measly 1, fuck lol.
- Do-hee....?
- ????
- She's gone completely nuts lol.
Yes, I understand.
She fights incredibly well with a staff, so it's understandable to pass on Warrior.
Her mana pool is overflowing, so she could go Priest instead of Mage.
But the result of all that is a measly 1 Agility.
It's no wonder people are exploding, but.....
"Wait!!!"
I have a plan.
- Bullshit~
- Explain yourself.
- I'm
- ??
- Do-hee, this is a bit much.
- out.
- Explain yourself~
There's no need to wait for later.
My viewers, who are sponsoring me, need to understand this and move on. It wouldn't have mattered before, but now they are, for all intents and purposes, the ones raising me.
In short, they have every right to protest.
"Guys, spending 5 mana to raise Agility by 1 is a good deal."
- ?
- No, that's not the problem.
- How is it a good deal?
- Fact: If you pick Path of the Warrior and learn the [Rage] skill, you get 2 Strength for free.
- Explain.
- This really needs an explanation.
"Look, let's do the simple math. My mana is boosted by 200% thanks to my traits, right? But to raise my Agility by 1, I need to gain 2 points because of the -50% penalty. That's a simple six-fold difference in value between the two stats for me. So investing 5 mana to gain 1 Agility is a net gain."
This argument holds when Strength, Agility, Defense, and Mana all have the same base value.
And they do.
It might seem like my mana has a slightly lower value because I have 60 of it, but the bonus stats given for clearing floors are all worth 1 point each, and there are plenty of people who have extremely low mana but high strength, though not to my extent.
- ???
- Is this right?
- The simple math checks out, but.....
- Someone do the calculations.
- I'll be right back.
- You should be able to do that much math, lol.
- TL;DR: Her mana stat is worth 6 times her agility stat.
- No, that's not the problem!!
"Go on, say more. I'll answer everything right here."
This is an important issue.
The trust between me and my viewers is on the line.
Since the conversation seemed like it would get long, I sat down comfortably on a nearby rock.
- Then what about the opportunity cost you lose by choosing the Path of the Priest? To use the example from the chat earlier, if you went with the Path of the Warrior, you'd get Strength 3, Agility 1, Defense 1, and learn the [Rage] skill, which gives you 2 Strength for free. Isn't that a better deal?
- Oh...
- He's right. What did you do, Do-hee?
The [Rage] skill... I used that in my past life, too. I know it very well.
"No. It might look that way right now, but it's absolutely not a better deal. [Rage] is a trash skill that high-rank Awakeners all discard. It weakens your emotional control and is only useful in the early game."
Using [Rage] causes problems with emotional control. I've seen countless comrades die after getting angry or seeing a teammate die, suddenly flying into a rage, breaking formation, and charging recklessly.
"And let's look at when you've grown a bit. [Rage Lv.10] only gives you 20 Strength, but [Haste Lv.10] gives you 20 Agility for 15 mana. When you apply my trait multipliers, you get the value of 40 Agility. Even if you apply the multiplier to Strength and subtract its 22-point value, it's still a net gain. And considering you eventually discard [Rage], the difference becomes enormous on higher floors."
The tables turn at just Lv.10. Considering my Haste level was 88 before I died, the difference would be astronomical.
"Also, the Mana +3 and Defense +2 I get from the <Path of the Priest> class reward already have a value of 13 stat points, which easily surpasses the total stats you'd get from choosing the <Path of the Warrior>. So your initial assumption about the expected value of the stats is also wrong."
- brb calculating
- I have no idea what she's talking about.....
- TL;DR: It's a good deal now, and it's a fucking amazing deal later.
- I thought this Do-hee bitch was a dumbass, wtf.
- Why are you counting 20 Agility as 40?
"Because to get 20 Agility, I actually have to gain 40 points. That's why I calculated it that way."
- No, I mean, doesn't your buff get the -50% penalty too?
- Ahem, if you're not an Awakener, be quiet.
- Don't you know that buffs and equipment are applied separately?
- Know what you're talking about before you speak, sigh....
- How dare a muggle interfere in a debate between Awakeners?
- Lmaooooo
Just as they said in the chat.
The difference between base stats and buffs.
For example, if you look at my Agility stat, even though I raised it to 14 through all sorts of elixirs and exercise, the applied value is only 7.
But if I raise it by 1 with a buff, the -50% isn't applied, and it goes up by a pure 1, making it 8.
The reason is simple. Traits, elixirs, and exercise all work from within my body, so they interact with each other. But the power of mana is an external force, so it's not affected.
Similarly, stats from equipment or artifacts are not affected by existing traits and are simply added on.
"This is the ultimate reason why I'm going with a Priest build to raise my stats this way. I'll boldly discard the stats that are hard to raise because of the negative trait and make up for it with equipment and buffs. It's much more efficient."
In short,
"Selection and focus."
- Then what about other combat skills and traits?
"I can just pay to learn those. Besides, don't you all just discard the skills you learn in the Tower early on and switch to better ones later? If that's the case, it's better to learn the proper ones from the start."
- But you're saying you'll be weaker for now, right?
"My defense and agility also went up, so I doubt there'll be much of a difference. And after fighting the goblins today, I got a rough idea. I can clear up to the 9th floor even if I go in right now."
This was true. The combat difficulty from floors 2 to 9 is similar, so if I cleared the 2nd floor this easily, it would be manageable even if I ran into some bullshit difficulty spikes.
- Still, there's no guarantee you'll clear up to the 9th floor, is there?
"You can't have everything. It's a gamble on my part, but it's a well-founded one. If I don't think I'll die, I'll take a small risk for a bigger gain later on."
A good analogy... ah, that game I used to play!
"If you were in a lane and knew you weren't going to die, would you give up CS, let them get tower plates, and recall? Or would you save up for a core item and then teleport back?"
- What
- Oh?
- The latter, obviously.....
- Were you a League of Legends player?
- Lmaooooo
- That makes perfect sense~
- For real, gotta get that Trinity Force first core item~
- How the fuck does this bitch know that game?
- I don't play that game, but I get it.
- She's saying since the entrance is blocked, she'll cut workers and expand.
- Lmao, even the Starcraft analogy is here.
- Seriously, I didn't understand a single thing she was saying until now, but that cleared it up instantly.
People who had been watching quietly until now suddenly appeared in droves when a topic they recognized came up.
"And the important thing isn't just gaining a few stats."
- Then what is important?
- Wasn't that the whole point?
"It's about the direction. Why would I do all this just to gain one or two stats? From now on, I'm treating the Agility stat as a trash can and focusing on other stats."
It wasn't just about bonus stats.
As you climb the Tower, you also acquire new traits.
For example, the <Heavy Hitter> trait gives:
Agility -10
Strength +10
Mana +10
If this trait were applied to me, the Agility penalty would only be -5 because of my -50% modifier.
This is what I meant by a trash can.

Meanwhile, there were those who couldn't join the conversation between Do-hee and her viewers......
[Tower Climbing Support Gallery]

Title: What's up with Do-hee's stream? [Image]
Content:
(GIF of Do-hee passionately explaining something 1.gif)
(GIF of Do-hee passionately explaining something 2.gif)
The thumbnail clearly showed this bitch naked like this, so I excitedly joined the stream,
but why the hell are they having a 100-minute debate?
Fuck, semen is literally dripping from her pussy, and she's standing there naked having this debate... the whole situation is fucking absurd;;
I was gonna make a sexual comment, but seeing the mood, I'm just quietly enjoying the jiggle of her tits.
---
Comments:
- For real, I have no idea what they're talking about.
- Agility this... value that, multiplier this, calculation that... FUCK!!!
- Are they still doing that?
└ OP: Yep. All the non-logged-in users who came here to fap are quietly hitting the back button.
- Is this Do-hee's way of shaking out the casuals? Only the true fans would understand any of that.
└ 100,000 casuals died lol.
- The viewers are so serious that it feels wrong to troll;;
- When did her viewers get so serious? Weren't they all just perverts who wanted to sexually harass her?
└ A lot of true fans joined during her week of training. The ones debating now are probably all them.
└ If you check the info of the people debating, they're all big donors from other high-rank Awakener streamer channels.
└ So the whales have joined? The big donors who gave up climbing the Tower themselves and just support others.
└ For real, that's what true Tower climbing support is...
└ This gallery is fake, lmao.
- What is this guy talking about? I just automatically joined the debate after fapping five times.
└ Fuck, so that was the answer, lmao.
└ For real, everyone in that chat is in sage mode right now.
└ Lmaooooo
- I wouldn't have understood either if it wasn't for the MOBA analogy, lol.
└ What's that?
└ "If you were in a lane and knew you weren't going to die, would you give up CS, let them get tower plates, and recall? Or would you save up for a core item and then teleport back?" That one, lmao.
└ So Do-hee is saying she's the latter.
*
"That's what I think. If you can't give anything up, you can't achieve anything. I'll take a small risk in the early game, discard the Agility stat with its negative percentage, and boldly over-level my mana to use mana-based buffs to raise my other stats. The Priest class is the only one that can achieve that."
- That's too risky....
- You could get one-shot if you run out of mana.
- Usually, when people get a penalty, they twist themselves into knots trying to get rid of it, but she's just using it to her advantage;;
- But has there really been no other high-rank Awakener who's done this?
- So you're playing for the late-game value?
- I don't think I've ever seen it.
"There probably hasn't been. I didn't want to do this either, but because of that weird trait...."
- Ahahaha
- Can't argue with the Onahole Body....
- For real, the gap between the trait's penalty and advantage is too big. Other traits are usually between 10-30%, but hers is 100%, 50%, lol.
- But then how will you get the 3rd-floor reward?
"Ah, the 3rd-floor reward? That's....."
*
After about 30 more minutes of discussion, I finally convinced the viewers.
- Okay, you're more serious about this than we are.
- So you're making a bigger investment for the late game since the early game is stable.
- Fulfill your dream, Do-hee....
- I hereby appoint you a true Tower-climbing girl.
- I think I get the gist of it.
- I'll trust you and watch for now... but if something like this happens again, tell us beforehand.
- For real, give us a heads-up. That was fucking shocking, lmao.
"Ah, I'm sorry about that. From now on, I'll let you know before I do anything rash."
Come to think of it, I was only thinking from my perspective. How startled must the viewers have been?
Anyway, after the discussion ended on a warm note...
[DoheeTunaSoDelicious has donated 100,000 won]
Do-hee, we get it, now go take a contraceptive pill before you get pregnant.
"Ah...."
- Lmaoooo
- I forgot about that.
- Like streamer, like viewer, fuck.
- Yep, implantation is already complete~
- Lmao
- Ahk
- Do-hee's egg, taken!
- Implantation complete, GG.
"What do you mean, implantation complete?! Ah, but I'm not going to take a contraceptive pill."
- ????
- Excuse me?
- What did you just...
- ?
- What?
- Did I hear that right?
- Huh?
- Did you suddenly get the urge to get pregnant??
- ?
- Are you saying you want to try having a goblin's child??
- Fuck, she's taking back what she said 10 seconds ago, lmao.
- Stop flying off the handle, you crazy bitch!!
- Lmaooooo
- This is absurd. She can't really want to get pregnant... Don't tell me?
Yes, I can understand this reaction.
But when would I have time to take a pill and clean out the semen in my womb? From the looks of it, I'd have to spend all day in front of the shower, scraping my insides.
Rather than go through all that trouble, and because I wanted to quickly prove my theory right,
"That's not it. Everyone, we're going straight to the 3rd floor."
- Wow, lmao.
- You're going right away? Fuck.
- Wow, fuck, she's going right now?
- 'I am serious about the Tower.'
- She sees an opening and just goes for it. This is the way.
- Knew it. I knew this would happen.
- So refreshing.
- Right, if you just go to the next floor, you get fully healed.
- Let's goooo!!!!
- She's flying off the handle twice in a row, lol.
- This crazy bitch is just insane about the Tower, lmao.
- She's a complete psycho, fuck.
- This is a true Tower-climbing girl... gets gangbanged for two hours and then immediately heads to the next floor;;
