Chapter 18: Let's Train.
"Phew... They don't seem that much bigger, but something feels... a little uncomfortable?"
The clothes that used to fit perfectly felt a bit tight now. There wasn't much of a visual change, but I could definitely feel they'd gotten heavier.
- Show us properly
- I'll give you a diagnosis. Please lower your clothes a bit more.
- These bastards are trying to make her take off more clothes lololol
- Of course, it's the boobs! This is the way.
- Booooooooobs~~
- They're hefty.
- Looks like she could raise a healthy baby lolol
- Looks like they went up a cup or two.
- Boob-hee is the right name.
"Alright, that's enough for today. I'm going home. I'll end the stream when I get there."
Ending the stream after getting home was now the golden rule on Lee Do-hee's channel.
- Shwoop~
My body was briefly enveloped in a feeling of weightlessness as I was transported to the Tower's central plaza.
When I emerged from the Tower, just as I expected, a huge crowd of people was there to greet me.
"Excuse me, coming through."
I tried to say it calmly, but the people who saw me were anything but.
"Waaaaaah!!!"
"She's even hotter in person..."
- Click! Click!
Flashes went off from somewhere, and I was instantly swarmed by the surging crowd.
“Kyaa! Wait a minute!!!”
The first to rush me were the reporters.
"Ms. Lee Do-hee, what's the secret to being the world's first to get an SS-rank?"
"Have you decided which guild you'll join?"
"Is it true that you're pregnant with a goblin's child?"
"Is it true you only used your SS reward to increase your breast size?"
"Are you aware that your actions are having a negative influence on children's emotional development?"
It seemed that because I was the first in the world to get an SS-rank on the 3rd floor, I'd become a massive topic of conversation among Awakeners, more so than the general public.
But why was there so much false information?
If they'd watched the stream, they wouldn't be saying such things...
And what was this about children's emotional development? Tower streaming automatically switches to adult mode if the administrator determines that 19+ content is occurring.
“No, please let me through! I'll explain everything slowly on tomorrow's stream!!”
“Just a moment! Please, just one word!!”
Next up were my fans(?).
- Squish!
“Kyaa! Where are you touching!”
"Lee Do-hee's tits are real tits!!"
"He's actually touching them...?"
"Crazy son of a bitch..."
“Guys, this is real life! Everyone, stop!!”
"Hehehe, look at that plump ass..."
"Your faces are all being broadcast..."
Thanks to a few people who regained their senses and held the others back, I barely managed to escape the dizzying Tower plaza.
Someone shoved their hand between my breasts, and another person slyly touched my butt, but I was so overwhelmed that I just focused on getting out of there.
“Seriously, who did this?”
On the way home, I felt something in my chest area and pulled it out. A 50,000 won bill emerged from my cleavage.
- lolololol
- Did someone make a real-life donation? lolol
- Which bastard was it?
- Was it the guy who touched her boobs earlier?
- But it's all on camera, that's fucking bold lol
- All those guys there are Awakeners, you know lol
- The state of Korean Awakeners lol
- Can I pay 50,000 won to touch your boobs too?
“Are you crazy? The culprit who touched my breasts—if you don't donate one million won tomorrow, I'm reporting you. You know what to do!”
- Only a million won?
- Hmm... for that price...
- I'll give you a million won, can I touch your boobs?
- Officers, we've got some potential sex offenders over here!
After being sexually harassed in real life, I finally, barely, made it home.
The way the security guards looked at me was a little strange, but it couldn't be helped. I'd become such a huge topic that they'd find out about me even if they didn't want to.
“Phew… It was a tough day. You all worked hard too. To the person who woke me up with an alarm, to everyone who donated and watched, thank you all. I'm going to get a good rest today and will be back around this time tomorrow. Bye-bye~”
- Do-bye~
- Rest well
- Good work
- You stole my weekend!
- It was a legendary stream though lololol
- Do-bye~
- Do-bye
Lee Do-hee's stream ended after two days.
*
Meanwhile, as she became famous, curiosity about her naturally grew...
[Tower Climbing Support Gallery]
---
[Title]: Anyone know about Lee Do-hee's past?
[Content]: The way she fights makes no sense.
I'm on the 12th floor, and my stats are twice as high, but I could never fight like that.
Seriously, there's something weird about that bitch.
[Comments]:
- Didn't she learn martial arts somewhere?
- Lee Do-hee already said it, it's a difference in 'talent' lololol
- Isn't the world so fucking unfair?
└ But she got passed around by goblins like crazy...
└ Ah.... lolol
└ We should just watch and enjoy.
- No jealousy
---
[Title]: I think this is probably Lee Do-hee's backstory.
[Content]: First, Lee Do-hee's 'Daddy-Long-Legs' is one of two people.
Either a father figure who raised her, or her real dad.
He was probably a high-floor Awakener who taught Do-hee all sorts of martial arts while raising her.
But at some point, the man died or went missing while climbing the Tower.
And Do-hee entered the Tower to find him.
Surprisingly, a lot of people enter the Tower to follow a family member who died there.
Why? Because you don't know if they're dead or alive inside the Tower.
There was actually someone who returned from the 3rd floor after five years, and I heard someone else accidentally met a person who'd gone missing long ago inside the Tower.
So there are quite a few people who climb the Tower, clinging to that sliver of hope.....
[Comments]:
- If that's true, it's kinda sad.
- Come to think of it, I heard the place Do-hee lives is government-subsidized.
└ Did it say what kind of place it is?
└ It only says it's run by the Support Center for Victims of Violent Sex Crimes.
└ Huh? Then what does that mean?
└ Did she really get assaulted in the past?
└ With that body, she might have...
- You're writing fanfiction.
- Seeing how suspiciously good she is with weapons, it must be true that her Daddy-Long-Legs taught her.
- What bullshit. Isn't it just that she was raped in the past and is building up her strength to get revenge herself?
└ This is more plausible, but Daddy-Long-Legs is probably a real person too.
└ Fuck, now I'm even more confused.
- Go write a novel, you idiot.
---
Many people were curious about her past, but of course, Lee Do-hee had no such past.
At most, she had wandered the streets naked, but since she'd already filmed a steamy sex video with goblins, a mere nude photo failed to draw much attention and was buried.
*
Meanwhile, at that very moment, Lee Do-hee...
"Right, there's no need to show such a disgraceful sight in front of the viewers."
<Irene's Female Body Training Secret Manual>
"Come forth!"
A bound secret manual like this could be summoned into the air at any time.
"Ahem... shall I take a look...?"
Opening the first page, I saw a portrait of a woman with brilliant blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Ooh..."
She was beautiful.
Her eyes were sharp, like a cat's, but overall, she was stunningly beautiful.
Next to it was a full-body picture of her in a uniform, and her figure was magnificent.
"Ooh... This is the empress...?"
She was so noble.
And yet, there was a strange, alluring horniness to her.
It was the kind of feeling that made you want to pickle that aloof, arrogant face in pleasure...
Anyway, after thoroughly appreciating every nook and cranny of her appearance, I turned the page to find the actual training content....
"Huh...? Why is there no content..."
There was nothing about how to train or what to do.
The only thing on the first page was a lewd illustration.
It showed Irene in a proper posture, diligently working up a sweat with some man.
The aloof empress's face I had just imagined was now clearly pickled in pleasure for real.
"I mean, it's nice, but... is there no explanation on how to do it?"
<Irene's Female Body Training Secret Manual>
Progress: 0%
"What the, how do you even do this?"
Flipping through the rest of the pages, I found nothing but more lewd illustrations. Not only were there various positions, but also various species.
"Ooh... um... oh my..."
It wasn't just humanoid species like orcs and goblins; there were giant spiders, tentacles, centaurs, giant bees—it was a collection of every animal, no, even plants, in the world that had a dick.
As I kept looking, I felt a strange stimulation slowly creeping up from my lower abdomen.
"No, I'm trying to train..."
Then, I happened to touch an illustration with my hand.
[Irene Style, No. 36: How to Train While Being Gang-banged by Orcs]
Would you like to train this technique? If you accept, you will automatically be transported to a subspace.
Please be aware that time in the subspace flows at the same rate as in reality.
"......"
So it was this kind of thing.
It was a slightly different format from other secret manuals.
A typical secret manual, as you'd expect, contains both text explaining how to train and illustrations showing the training postures.
Of course, it's useless to just train with the manual without acquiring it as a trait. That's because the bodies of Earthlings are incapable of using such things.
What does this mean? Let's take the most famous secret manual, the Heavenly Demon Divine Art, as an example.
If we were to acquire a copy of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art, not the original, and memorized it completely, we still wouldn't be able to do anything.
Even with internal energy, you can't use it.
A human body could never use something like the Heavenly Demon's Reigning Steps.
The reason is that our human bodies lack the necessary organs to use that martial art.
The bodies you often hear about, like the 'Heavenly Martial Body' or the 'Nine Yin Severed Meridians,' only exist for humans in novels or parallel universes, not for humans in reality.
In other words, even if you have internal energy, your body simply doesn't have the structure to use martial arts.
That's why you need the Tower's reward: the Awakener's status window.
When we register a secret manual or learn a skill, it automatically remodels our bodies to make that skill usable.
Ultimately, the reason we can only use skills registered in the status window is that the window only creates the necessary structures in our bodies for those specific skills.
However, just because it's in the status window doesn't mean you can use it unconditionally. The status window only creates the organs needed to manifest the skill; mastering the techniques and refining the skill is entirely up to the user.
Similarly, even if I knew how to use Magic Missile in my past life, and even if my mind and body both remember the knowledge and I have the mana, I can't use it.
The reason is the same.
My body lacks the organ to manifest Magic Missile.
Telling me to use the magic I used in my past life is no different from telling someone reincarnated with the memories of a bird, 'You were a bird in your past life, so try flying.'
Of course, it's not entirely impossible for a rare exception to overturn this rule, but it's most accurate to assume that you can't use anything you haven't learned as a reward from the Tower.
Anyway, this is the process by which Awakeners generally learn magic and train.
But this secret manual is a little different.
A subspace experiential format... No wonder it's an S-rank secret manual.
How in the world am I supposed to train with this?
Since the manual has been applied to me, it means I can use its abilities now…
‘I have no idea where to even start.’
But what if I just jump into the subspace to train and end up getting forcibly passed around? I don't have the courage to try it rashly.
Besides, how much would my viewers curse me out if I told them I trained this all by myself?
'Right, if I'm going to brave the embarrassment and train anyway, I might as well make some money.'
Embarrassment versus money.
Obviously, the latter is... a landslide victory?
'Wait, is it really a landslide? Is my brain getting weird?'
During the goblin incident, it was definitely humiliating, but the huge amount of donations made me feel good.
'Right, it's all just fucking anyway, isn't it?'
It might have been a big deal before, but 10 million people have already seen me. What's the big deal now?
Honestly, I'm not sure.
But one thing is certain: if I learn this in secret, I'll get an earful of curses. I'd be lucky if it was just curses; a riot would probably break out.
'Right, let's just turn on the stream and do it...'
After that, since it was a rare day off, I just rested at home.
While resting, I mostly explored other streamers' channels. I watched female streamers for the first time in a while, VTubers, gaming streams, and Awakener streams.
As I explored other channels, I jotted down anything I could learn from them.
'Yeah, honestly, I've been doing nothing but training...'
The things a streamer should be doing.
Creating a MyuTube channel, making a fan cafe, developing reactions, hiring an editor, and so on...
'There's so much to do...'
I said I was taking a break, but somehow I ended up working naturally.
'Is this what it means to be a workaholic?'
It felt like my habits from my past life had carried over.
And so, I spent the whole day watching streams, thinking about and studying broadcasting, ate the warm tuna kimchi stew my landlady brought over, and went to bed early.
*
The next day, 10 AM.
[Lee Do-hee has started a stream: Let's Train with Do-hee!!]
I started the stream from home, a little earlier than usual.
Honestly, when the stream is off, I have nothing to do. And training feels more fun with the viewers than doing it alone.
- Do-hi~
- Did you rest well?
- Do-hee, there's so much fake info about you right now lololol
- Do-hi Do-hi
- Did you turn it on as soon as you woke up?
- Do-hi
- Sigh, look at those trash reporters writing articles based on community shitposts lololol
"Hello~~"
The chat was on fire from the very beginning. I guess because my identity is shrouded in mystery, a lot of fabricated rumors are spreading around.
Of course, I expected this to some extent. And I'd already thought of a rough solution.
"Everyone, first, I'm going to create a fan cafe. I'll make a separate board there for fabricated articles, so please post any fake news you find there."
The fan cafe was also linked to Pantheon TV. It's more readable and has more lenient censorship than the fan cafes from that old green company, so a lot of people are moving over these days.
- You're finally making one lololol
- fr, I was wondering when you'd make one
- Those trash reporters are all dead now
I copied the format of the famous VTuber's fan cafe I saw yesterday.
A fan art board, a GIF collection board, a general discussion board—I quickly set up the basic essentials.
'Benchmarking what's successful is just common sense, right?'
And the most important reason for creating the fan cafe.
"Now, fake news is one thing, but this part is the most important! Everyone, focus!"
[Lee Do-hee Growth Research Board]
- ???
- What's that?
- What kind of board is it?
- I have no clue what this is lolol
Even I don't know everything. Not only that, but a lot has changed in the past five years, and a lot of new information has come out.
Of course, I could find it all if I looked, but it would take a long time.
Right, doing it all by myself is too inefficient.
"This is where you all give me recommendations. I'll be taking suggestions for efficient and cost-effective elixirs I can take now, as well as various secret manuals and skill books."
I might make the wrong judgment on my own, and there might be better options out there. So, I intended to take other people's opinions into account.
Besides, it's more beneficial for me to train in the time I would spend searching for information.
If all my viewers were just perverts, I wouldn't have made this, but I've seen quite a few people with high-level information.
And this is good content for a streamer, too.
"I'll consume what you recommend, learn the skills you recommend, and be grown by you. I will be an Awakener who grows together with all of you!!"
It's all about immersion.
Instead of just watching and observing, they can immerse themselves in the pride and satisfaction of knowing they are the ones making this person grow.
When I watched the VTuber stream yesterday, I saw a lot of them grow together with their viewers like that.
"The Lee Do-hee that you create will one day stand at the summit of the Tower!"
- Kyaa
- Flutters~
- An Awakener I create...?
- Wow... I can't resist this.
- The high from this is gonna be insane.
- We unemployed folks finally have something to do....
- Starting today, I'm lurking the Awakener Market 24/7.
- You and I, growing together... that's actually pretty cool.
I wasn't done yet.
"So, for the first order of business, I will keep my promise to you all. The S-rank secret manual from Irene. I will begin my training now!!"
