Chapter 217: World Rank #1, Jeremy Oswald
His decision to visit Korea was made about three hours ago.
He had been comfortably watching his son’s broadcast from his luxury estate.
That was when he witnessed Lee Do-hee’s spearmanship during her battle against the giant guilds.
'Is she... his disciple? No, he wouldn't have had time to raise a disciple... A daughter, then? I don't know. What's certain is that she is his successor.'
Lee Do-hee’s javelin throw.
He recognized at once that she was connected to Lee Do-hyeon. Moreover, her familiar fighting style felt as if he himself had returned.
His past relationship with Lee Do-hyeon had been a good one. In fact, you could almost call him a benefactor.
'It seems he had a trait that allowed him to pass on his traits or secret manuals to a specific person upon death. Was that the meaning of his immortality? Yes, then shall we enjoy the show? The duel between my brother's daughter and my son.'
Even though Lee Do-hee wasn't Lee Do-hyeon's daughter and Damian was his adopted son, he watched the finals with great interest.
The result, as we know, was Lee Do-hee's overwhelming victory.
From the very beginning, there was no way to defeat a Lee Do-hee who was immune to electricity.
"Hahahaha!! Excellent. He needed to taste defeat around this point anyway."
Jeremy Oswald laughed heartily, even though his disciple and adopted son had lost.
Normally, failure in the Tower meant death.
One had to win, and only win, without ever knowing failure. But humans were creatures that learned from their mistakes.
It is through failure that one can grow the most.
Today's defeat would lead to tremendous growth for Damian.
He would learn to embrace more than just lightning and electric attribute attacks.
Jeremy Oswald felt a sense of gratitude and kinship toward her.
"Look into her. I'd like to make contact if possible. If not, schedule a meeting for a later date."
Only the secretary was flustered by Jeremy's sudden order.
A little time passed, and Ji-hye, who had been constantly bothered by the giant guilds, decided to make a deal with America's number one guild.
Although Lee Do-hee and Jeremy weren't present, the conversation between Ji-hye and the secretary went smoothly, as if they were both in similar positions.
"Your side will promise to protect us. You don't actually need to dispatch bodyguards. Just guarantee that you will annihilate any force that touches us."
"Understood. In return, if the Onahole breaks, you'll send a new one. It would also be nice if we could purchase Breast Milk."
"Breast Milk can be purchased separately by collecting something called Faith. I'll send you the relevant information later."
The Lee Do-hee Guild would provide one Onahole registered with Lee Do-hee's clone.
In return, the American guild would protect Lee Do-hee and her guild.
The method of protection wasn't simple guardianship.
It was retaliatory protection.
If harm was done, the perpetrator would be annihilated. This was guaranteed by the world's number one guild.
Erase the evidence? Hire a subcontractor?
Today's Awakener guilds possessed methods to read the past memories of objects, and even ways to extract a brain to read its memories.
It was an inhumane device that had yet to be activated, but they would probably be thrilled to experiment with it this time, eagerly throwing people into the grinder.
There was also a time limit.
Just six months.
Ji-hye had set the period of protection at six months.
Why six months?
She believed. She believed in what Lee Do-hee had said at the beginning—that she would climb to the 78th floor in a year. And she believed in her current rate of growth.
She believed that in six months, Lee Do-hee would be strong enough to face the giant guilds single-handedly.
And as soon as the negotiations were complete, for some reason, Jeremy Oswald himself decided to fly over.
The reason was unknown. He was coming simply because he wanted to.
"Uh... How did things turn out like this?"
Even Ji-hye, who was usually quite bold, was a little flustered.
What kind of personality did Jeremy Oswald have?
If Lee Do-hee had been awake, she would have described him like this:
Attention whore, capricious, psychopath, justice.
He reveled in people's attention. He acted on a whim, doing whatever he pleased. He was the kind of guy who would praise a breakfast menu as delicious in the morning, only to curse you out for bringing him that same "crap" for dinner.
And whatever path he walked was justice.
The reason Jeremy Oswald said it would take two hours.
His flight speed could far exceed Mach 10. At that speed, he should have reached Seoul in an hour, but…
He made a stop in Japan on the way.
Letting off steam? Enforcing justice?
The reason was unclear, but he had asked his secretary to identify the surviving forces that had targeted Lee Do-hee in the past, and then immediately headed there.
"Aigoo... There he goes again, that crazy bastard!"
The secretary was burning up with frustration, but there was no one on Earth who could stop his insane antics.
His target was the main base of the ninja unit that had once come to claim Lee Do-hee.
Although they had apologized, they had offered no real reparations or compensation and were shamelessly plotting how to target her again.
Moreover, they were Japan's third-ranked guild and even had Awakeners in the 80th-floor range.
But their opponent was Jeremy Oswald, who had climbed to the 90th floor.
To him, the Japanese ninja brats were no problem at all.
Kurokage Shinshu, the third-ranked guild, located on the coast of Yokohama near Tokyo.
Above it, Jeremy appeared, clad in a red cape and a tight-fitting Superman costume.
"I shall enforce justice."
Just one sentence.
Flash.
The Asian side of the Earth briefly lit up, went dark, and then brightened again.
People were bewildered by the global weather anomaly, and all electricity in the Japanese archipelago momentarily cut out before returning.
And the third-ranked Japanese guild that had attacked Lee Do-hee.
Their headquarters had vanished. It was gone, as if carved out of the map, and seawater was now flooding into the empty space.
The guild master and their core forces happened to be there, but Jeremy simply wiped them all out, as if pleased by the convenience.
And just like that, it was over. It ended in an instant, anticlimactically.
As if to prove there were different levels even among the highest-ranking Awakeners, the giant Japanese guild was annihilated without being able to put up any real resistance.
Were there protests from Japan?
Aside from a few electronic devices of nearby residents being fried and some eye problems for the unlucky few who happened to be looking in that direction, most of the Japanese public cheered.
Much like the giant guilds of Korea's past, they were a malicious guild known for kidnapping and raping civilians, so people were actually happy. The government, its power greatly diminished by the emergence of Awakeners, could only protest verbally.
The first and second-ranked guilds were displeased, but the incident was quickly forgotten as they began competing to divide the immense assets of the now-defunct third-ranked guild.
It was, quite literally, a natural disaster.
When someone of the Earth's number one rank acts on a whim, it is considered a natural disaster in itself.
And so, after causing such a commotion, he arrived in Seoul.
"..."
"W-Welcome, Jeremy Oswald."
Two hours was a very short time for diplomatic preparations, but everything was already set up for a state visit.
His original destination was the Lee Do-hee Guild office, but at the request of Ji-hye and his secretary, he arrived at an event hall near the presidential office.
On the surface, Jeremy seemed like the type to ignore everything and just go his own way, but...
He surprisingly enjoyed himself.
He posed for photos, exchanged pleasantries and shook hands with the flustered Korean president, and even played with a child who ran up to him, striking a Superman pose.
For someone who had just massacred thousands, he smiled and conversed quite normally. Of course, the content of his conversations was anything but normal.
"By the way, I thought Korea had giant guilds, but I don't see them here?"
"Pardon...?"
"Are they very busy? I guess they're not planning on crying and begging me for information on the 81st floor this time?"
Every time he opened his mouth, it was a bombshell.
"Are they buying it from China this time? I hear they pretend to share information while leaving out key boss skills..."
[Breaking: Korea's Giant Guilds Cried and Clung to Jeremy Oswald's Pant Leg to Buy 80th Floor Info!]
[China's Overlord Gate Guild, Have They Been Toying with Information All This Time? The Reason for Germany's Failed Expedition?]
He was one of the media's favorite figures, as he reveled in such unpredictable behavior.
And his impulsive actions didn't stop there...
"Is this Korea's Tower?"
"Yes... Y-You can't go in. You know that, right?"
Entering another country's Tower was practically a declaration of war.
This was because the Tower's highest floor would be raised, and the vanguard would have to climb two floors within a year just to catch up.
Of course, he didn't actually go in. He just smiled for a photo nearby and left.
A photo of Jeremy with his arm around the pale-faced Minister of Foreign Affairs who was escorting him became a hot topic that day.
After stirring things up everywhere as if he were a tourist(?), Jeremy Oswald finally met with Ji-hye.
The de facto owner(?) of the Lee Do-hee Guild.
He shook her hand lightly and personally received the full-body Lee Do-hee Onahole.
"She's beautiful. I like her."
"It should be fine even if you use her a little roughly."
The so-called Onahole Contract.
In exchange for the right to use the Onahole—a top-tier elixir that could grant a whopping 240 stats for free—however he pleased, he would provide perfect backing for six months.
It was a contract anyone would have found reasonable, even without Jeremy Oswald's personal favor.
There was no need to make a formal declaration.
He had already erased Japan's third-ranked guild in an instant without a word, so no one would doubt the sincerity of this alliance.
Satisfied, Jeremy hugged the full-body Lee Do-hee Onahole and returned to his home country.
He had wanted to see Lee Do-hee in person, but she happened to be fast asleep. Promising to see her next time, he coolly departed.
And at that very moment on Lee Do-hee's broadcast.
Lee Do-hee was moaning, "Heueung~" as she underwent sleep milking.
- ?? ? What the hell is going on?
- Hey, wake up, you bitch lolololol
- Do-hee doesn't know anything
- Fucking bitch is turning me on
- Is this the famous stream everyone's talking about?
- Look at that plump ass, makes me wanna fuck it so bad
- An ass that looks like it'd feel fucking amazing...
- It actually does feel amazing
- You've hit the jackpot, dude
They all flocked to the stream just to sexually harass the sleeping Lee Do-hee before leaving.
Naturally, the online communities were in an uproar that day.

- Wow...
- Lee Do-hee does it again.
- Was an Onahole really worth this much?
- The value of a full-body Onahole is fucking insane lololol
- 'The Value of an EX-rank'
- Seriously, it's not an EX-rank for nothing. It's a rank that can shake the world.
- I'm feeling a little dizzy
- The scene of him flying away hugging the Onahole is fucking hilarious
- That psycho bastard lololol
- 'I am justice.'
- Justice (massacring civilians)
- Still, he's more normal than other high-rank Awakeners
- You think he'll drop lightning on Korea tomorrow?
└ He's not that bad lol
----------
His past deeds were so spectacular that not everyone viewed him favorably, but they didn't strongly condemn him either. They knew he was better than most other high-ranking Awakeners.
[Title: Lee Do-hee's 24-Hour Broadcast Summary]
[Content]:
Defied all expectations and won against the giant guilds and Damian's guild.
Officially became the world's third EX-rank holder.
Easily cleared the 40th floor's SSS-rank, challenged EX, and got her ass kicked and rape-bred.
Formed an Onahole contract with Jeremy Oswald, who was expected to retaliate, and now they're practically one body...
For real, the dopamine rush is keeping me awake, but this fucking bitch is in the middle of it all, moaning "Heueung~" while being milked in her sleep.

- An Onahole contract, fucking hell lololol
- But for real, nobody expected Do-hee to win on the 38th floor
└ The guys who said Do-hee would win were all made fun of for being simps lol
- Was Lee Do-hee always this strong?
- For real, she was underrated because she's a whore, but the bitch is a beast in combat too
└ But has Do-hee ever actually prostituted herself?
└ She did inside the Tower, don't know about reality
└ She let 1000 guild members use her pussy for 4 billion won lol
- Damn, that's impressive
- America begs, Japan and China do that long thing
- Amazing, Onahole
- It's the Onahole doing the heavy lifting lololol
- Ji-hye << what the hell is she?
└ She's greater than the president lol
------------
The talk about Lee Do-hee continued endlessly.
Normally, her stream was too niche and risqué to appear on public broadcasts or in the main news, but this incident plastered her name everywhere.
[High-Ranking Foreign Awakeners Flocking to Join Lee Do-hee's Guild?]
[Who is Lee Do-hee, the Woman Who Forged a Blood Alliance with Jeremy Oswald?]

[Is Korea Becoming Great Again?]
Korea was already catching up, ranked fifth after the United States, China, Russia, and Japan.
On top of that, not only did they have an EX-rank, but they also received a hearty shout-out from the world's number one, Jeremy Oswald. Any Korean would be going crazy from the dopamine rush of national pride.
And Lee Do-hee, having just finished her sleep milking, woke up.
Oblivious to everything, the first thing she did was look at the full 20L Breast Milk container with a sense of satisfaction before getting dressed.
"Huh? Wait, why are there still so many viewers?"
- You've made it big now, kid
- lolololol
- Do-hee-fused
She figured out what was going on after reading the viewers' chat messages.
“Uhm…? That bast—I mean, Jeremy Oswald was here? A protection contract?”
- Ji-hye (Manager): Yes... I might have acted a bit hastily, but is that alright?
“Hmm... You did well, right? Giving up just one Onahole for a contract like this is a clear gain for us... No, it's mutually beneficial."
'I wasn't worried about myself, but I was a little concerned about outside threats. This solves that, doesn't it?'
It felt as if a weight had been lifted from her mind.
In truth, there were plenty of forces targeting us besides the giant Korean guilds.
Especially now that the value of the Onahole and Breast Milk had skyrocketed, there would definitely be those who would go to extreme lengths to attack me or even stage a hostage situation with our regular guild members.
China and Russia.
They had been a bit passive last time, but now they might openly invade the moment the giant guilds were away.
Necroumbra could only protect the building owner auntie and our guild building.
It would be difficult to fend off multiple high-ranking Awakeners, and it couldn't protect regular guild members whose identities were known or when they were far from home.
And then there was Jeremy Oswald.
He was an unprecedented, crazy psychopathic bastard who massacred civilians while shouting "Justice! Justice!", but he was also a man of his word.
“Hwa-cha! Well then, shall we climb a little more slowly?”
Lee Do-hee felt a sense of ease.
Of course, that didn't mean she would let her guard down, but it was true that she felt a bit more relaxed.
"In that spirit..."
- Is she gonna sync?
- Finally?
- Let's have some training sex?
- You need to learn Irene's secret manual too
- Just hit the 41st floor?
- Go outside and hold a pussy autograph session
"That's quite a variety of suggestions...? What I'm going to do is..."
- ???
- What is it
- No pussy autograph session? The ink will be cum
- There are two ways to piss someone off. One is to stop talking mid-sentence, and...
- ?? ? What's the second one
- Spit it out, you bitch!!
"Go outside and..."
- Go outside and?
- A pussy autograph session?
- Who's she gonna do it with
- She's finally offering up her body
- I wonder...
"Eat the building owner auntie's kimchi jjigae!"
- ???
- That's it?
- Such humble dreams
Why eat preserved food in here when she could leave the Tower?
Today, she was craving that nostalgic kimchi jjigae that reminded her of her mother's cooking.
*
Meanwhile, at that very moment.
The landlady slowly approached Necroumbra to collect its sap.
"You have to be a good girl today. Got it...?"
As if it were the most natural thing in the world, Necroumbra nodded its petals and grabbed the auntie's arms and legs with its vines, pulling her closer as if urging her to hurry.
"Ah, not today..."
Though she said no, her face was strangely flushed.
