Chapter 23: Lee Do-hee's Daily Routine
The next day.
A lot happened yesterday, but my routine remains the same.
I wake up early and head outside.
An morning run, not at Choi Tae-soo's training center, but on a light hiking trail near my house.
I run, cutting through the cold, early-morning air and the hazy fog.
Aside from the occasional person heading to work, it’s a time when I can be completely alone, free from the gaze of others.
A time to clear my head, to feel nothing but myself, to feel my heart swell in my chest.
“Hoo… hoo…”
Lightly, yet quickly.
This exercise doesn't contribute much to my stat growth. But what’s important are the things that can’t be measured by numbers.
If my opponent can swing their sword in one breath, but I can do it in half a breath—that’s victory.
Abilities that don't appear on the status window, but definitely exist.
Cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular endurance, and the depth of one's stamina.
Any high-level Awakened knows this. This minuscule difference is what separates life from death.
That’s why I run again today.
To become stronger.
To be able to swing my sword, or thrust my spear, just one more time.
About two hours later.
The fog slowly lifts and the sun rises.
“Haah… haah…”
My breathing is at its limit.
Sweat pours down my body like rain, soaking my underwear, and my large, swollen breasts heave up and down.
‘That’s enough for today…’
The stares of people starting to leave for work are a bit burdensome, but in this neighborhood, people who dress like me for exercise are common enough that no one is particularly surprised or rude.
When I get home, I take a cool shower and eat breakfast.
Breakfast is always healthy.
My mornings consist of a high-protein health food and a fresh salad delivered at dawn from an online service.
This is by no means a diet.
Once you become an Awakened, with the exception of mages, your calorie intake increases, much like an athlete's. I, for one, need to eat about three times as much as a normal person to feel energized.
My breakfast is a chaotic mix of vegetables, fruits, eggs, and ham toast piled into a large bowl.
After eating and cleaning up, I sit at my computer and browse the internet.
Games or online communities? No, I gave those up 15 years ago when I was forcibly dragged into the Tower.
It wasn't because they weren't fun.
I quit to climb the Tower and survive.
I spend about an hour searching and researching various information—news related to the Awakened, global trends in Tower conquest, and any new information from the Korean Awakener Association.
And when I have time, I read publicly available strategy reports.
Currently, there are about 47 known planets that manifest as trials in the Tower.
It sounds like a lot, but it's actually a very small number.
So, I know the names of the empires that achieved the most brilliant golden ages on most of those planets.
Just as Earth had vast empires like the Mongols, Persians, and Romans, it’s only natural that other worlds would have them too.
For example, the Arcadia Empire founded by Irene is quite famous.
Remember the setting of the serial rape case I experienced on the 3rd floor? The town was part of the Luminous Kingdom, and to the west, the Luminous Kingdom borders the Arcadia Empire.
If I were to abandon the mission and head to the empire, I might, with some luck, even have a chance to meet the living Irene of the past.
That’s why studying the history of each planet is helpful.
It might seem useless now, but starting from the 11th floor, the trials become long-term affairs that take a long time to clear. This knowledge can help me grasp an opponent's military strength or status, and even aid in formulating strategies.
So right now, I'm reading about the history of the Arcadia Empire.
‘If I ever get a related episode, I’ll punch a hole right through that bitch Irene’s uterus…’
I’m not the type to live with debts. Not seek revenge? Let it go? Forgive?
That’s bullshit.
When you’re strong, you can do anything.
That’s why I’m going to get stronger. Strong enough to crush all of Korea's six great guilds and still have power to spare!
So, the first thing to do.
It’s a little past 10 AM.
“Ah, it’s time to stream.”
[Lee Do-hee: Training again today!!]
For me, streaming, which earns me money and popularity, is training, and training is my stream.
And honestly, the ‘fun’ factor helps me turn on my stream early and broadcast for a long time every day.
Of course, I don't engage in parasocial baiting, farming my viewers like simps.
I have my own content, and I know how rare and unique a female streamer climbing the Tower is. So I have no intention of dancing as a reaction or doing weird things like blowing kisses.
I couldn't do that stuff even if I wanted to.
‘How could I do something so embarrassing?’
Me, who was once the strongest man in the world, performing a mating dance and acting cute to appeal to men?
I’d rather die. I could never do that.
Ahem… Absolutely not!
- Do-ha~
- Hehehehe… The outfit is great again today.
- Do-hee, hi.
- You’re on early again.
- I dropped out of school to watch your streams, Do-hee!
- Did you sleep well last night, Do-hee? Thanks to you, I did too.
- Go to school, dude;;
- Do-ha
“Yes, hello everyone~ But what do you mean, you slept well?”
Sometimes, when I read out the weird things people say in chat, I usually get a good response…
- I rewatched all of yesterday’s stream…
- After three rounds, I slept like a baby lol
- LMAO
- I can’t tell if Do-hee has a bad memory or just a strong mentality lol
- She said she’d ‘take it into consideration’ and move forward. Let’s support her.
- fr, I fapped my brains out and slept so well.
“……”
Of course, sometimes I get unexpected reactions like this.
And I still don't know how to handle them.
Just a moment ago, I thought I’d become a professional streamer, but I have no idea how to deal with these vaguely sexual, harassing comments.
‘And they’re all subscribers… fuck.’
If I kick out and ban all of them, I’ll starve.
My core viewer base has already solidified into a group of perverted men who are serious about the Tower and sexual harassment.
And the floaters just flock in whenever they hear something lewd is happening, just to sexually harass me.
If I had streamed normally from the beginning, it might have become a broadcast enjoyed by people of all ages and genders, but it’s too late for that now.
Of course, I could change.
If I did the cutesy, flirty, simp-farming stream I mentioned earlier, I’d probably make good money.
So I have to choose.
Either take a few sexual harassment punches from time to time, or stream while acting coquettishly like a bitch in heat.
My choice, obviously, was the former.
Even now, as I’m being relentlessly sexually harassed, I still think, ‘This is better than forcing myself to act cute…’
I even think that rather than acting cute, I’d rather just have sex.
At least that raises my stats and feels goo—
“Ahem, alright~ Enough with the weird talk. Today, I was planning on doing this yesterday, but things got out of hand, right? We’ll do a quick tour of my fan cafe, and then we’ll go train~”
- Look at her blushing lol
- Eheheheh
- Guys, the cafe is fine too.
- fr, the cafe might be better?
- I bet this bitch hasn’t even checked her own cafe since yesterday.
Usually, in a situation like this, the viewers would be going crazy, wanting to harass me more. Why are they being so compliant?
‘Why do I have a bad feeling about this…’
In any case, I can’t back out now.
I confidently enter my fan cafe.
“Oh, 100,000 members…? 2,000 posts? Looks like a lot of people have been writing, huh?”
- 100,000 members in one day is legendary lol
- The reason for that is…
- There’s a reason there are so many members.
“What is it? Why are you guys talking about something only you know again?”
[Tilimn has donated 10,000 won]
A lot of people came to see all the pretty pictures of you, Do-hee!
“Aha~”
Right. It’s a little narcissistic, but this face, this body.
It’s so beautiful that even I sometimes stare blankly in the bathroom mirror.
It’s only natural for men to be instinctively drawn to someone like me.
And it’s also instinct to feel good when complimented.
“Hehehe, then shall we take a look~?”
- lolololol
- Look at this bitch getting all happy.
- I like how her expression is always so transparent lol
- Alright~ Let’s go~
- Go to the photo board.
- Sorry, Do-hee.
- The photo board is the real hot spot.
“The photo board? Let’s see… Huh?”
When I entered the photo board, the thumbnails were all flesh-colored.
Pornography was scattered all over my photo board.
“Eh…? Wait a minute, this is supposed to be my photo board…?”
I sort by popularity and, with a sinking feeling, click on the top post.
And what I see is…
GIFs.
“Heup…!”
Vivid GIFs of me being pinned down by a huge man, getting relentlessly pounded by the breeding press and filled with cum.
It’s violent.
You can clearly see him putting his weight into it, slamming down on my pussy from above. Pang! Pang! And the way I flinch and spurt out fluid like a bursting fruit…
It’s so lewd it’s violently mind-blowing.
‘I did that…?’
There’s even a GIF in the bottom right corner showing my expression at the time.
It looks like it was edited, but the way I flinch and my expression changes with every thrust is timed so perfectly it looks real.
“Uh… eugh… uht!”
By the time I hit the back button, my face had already turned red without me realizing it.
‘There’s no way I can stay calm after seeing something like that…’
I instantly understand why the viewers were talking about jerking off three or five times. If I were a man…
- lololololol
- Delicious reaction~
- Is it for real that she can’t hide her expression at all?
- You were embarrassed, but you got turned on, right? It’s hot as hell, right?
- Uraaat, uraaat, pang, pang!!
- Ah, it’s a shame there’s no sound.
- Touch yourself down there. Aren’t you wet?
- Wanna watch the VOD again?
Yeah, honestly, it’s so fucking lewd that even I’m getting turned on. But that… that’s me…
“Ugh… Who told you to post this crap on my photo board!!”
I was expecting cute, idol-like close-ups of my face or some subtly suggestive pictures…
‘What is this, a porno…’
“Haa… You guys can do whatever you want over there… I don’t know anything about that place.”
With my face flushed, I flee to another board as if running away.
- lolol
- It’s your cafe, you bitch lol
- Watch and cum as you please (loosely translated).
- Upvote if you think Lee Do-hee regrets opening the photo board lol
“Alright… N-now, let’s move on to another section~”
[Lee Do-hee Growth Research Board]
13 posts.
“What, why are there so few posts here?”
- That place feels like it’s for real experts…
- You’ll see when you go there.
- It’s like… I’m scared to post crap in there…
I click on the most popular post and find a chart that organizes elixirs by efficiency, dividing their price by the stats they provide.
It even kindly marks the ones I’ve already taken or can’t take due to my stats with an X, and it has removed anything that costs more than my entire fortune of 300 million.
“Oh?”
- Isn’t that something an admin from a major guild would make?
- fr, probably someone from a big guild lol
- That’s seriously expert-level.
This is amazing.
The Awakener Market has been around for a while, but it’s not a place that kindly provides information on every single item.
It just sorts things by category to a certain extent and lets people trade freely; it doesn’t support functions like ‘sort by price-to-stat ratio.’
“Wow… thank you. I can just buy things according to this list, right?”
When I open the organized spreadsheet, it seems to be linked to the market in real-time, as the number of items available and the lowest prices are updating automatically.
- Wow… what a pro.
- That’s why no one else can post there lol
- fr, everyone saw that and gave up lol
- One talented person making all the no-lifers despair…
- Do-hee, read the username.
“Wow… thank you so much!! The username is… huh?”
[Author]: Dotamuk
“Eh…?”
That’s the viewer who said he was doing his own research on goblin poison darts before I went to the 2nd floor.
I remember he got a ton of hate and was kicked out back then…
- That guy’s been watching your streams pretty closely, surprisingly lol
- Ah, Dotamuk is just too good.
- He must be a real scholar or some kind of expert.
- A pro who’s suspiciously good at sexual harassment lol
“Uh… thank you. A-and… I’m sorry for cursing at you and treating you like a troll back then…”
Right, it wasn’t that I did something wrong, but in the end, I was mistaken and he was right. You have to admit what you need to admit to move forward.
Just then, as if he was watching my stream, Dotamuk himself appeared.
[Dotamuk has donated 50,000 won]
Thanks to you, my research paper was published, and I came dozens of times watching it. As a token of my gratitude, may I receive it with your pussy?
With my… what?
I read it again in disbelief, but yes, that’s what it said.
“No way! You crazy bastard!!!”
‘Should I just ban him…?’
- I like that he’s consistent.
- lolololololol
- There was a reason his name was Dotamuk lol
- Ah, he really just wants to fuck her lol
- That guy’s desire to fuck her is just so pure lol
Besides that person’s post, the rest of the posts were also high-quality.
It seemed like people who had actually climbed the Tower were writing them; there was even someone who had organized skill books by weapon type.
Recommended manuals to learn when using a sword.
<Lagrange's Swordsmanship Manual> 200 million
<Elquitania's Advanced Swordsmanship> 500 million
<Spartizan's Secret Swordsmanship Manual> 3.6 billion
You can learn them in this order!
The first manual provides the most stable basic combat stance for fighting both monsters and humans, and the second is a swordsmanship style you can learn once you can use Aura. The third and final one is what you’d call a swordsmanship that’s effective among the true top-tiers! Based on my experience, I’m only recommending the most efficient and cost-effective ones.
As for spearmanship, according to an acquaintance of mine…
…

.
Posts that were practically research papers like the one above were being uploaded to the Lee Do-hee fan cafe.
“Wow… I can feel how serious everyone is, thank you so much. This would be great not just for me, but for any individual Awakened climbing the Tower alone.”
After finishing the cafe tour, I ate the marinated crab my landlady brought over yesterday and did a short chat stream before heading to Choi Tae-soo’s training room.
And from there, it was a continuous series of hellish training.
“Kuaaaaargh!!!”
“Tighter! Squeeze it!! That’s it!!! More! More!!”
After joyfully rolling around with sweaty old guys, I arrive home at 8 PM.
Then, after washing up and eating, it’s already 9 PM.
The day isn’t over yet.
I chat with the viewers, making up for the time I couldn’t during training, and have in-depth discussions on the Awakener Market about which elixirs to buy and which skills to learn. Around 11 PM, I end the stream and lie down in bed.
When the day ends like that, I wake up again at 5 AM.
I get ready quickly, go out, and do my morning exercise.
This day repeats.
*
And so, three days of repeating that routine passed.
When am I finally going to the 4th floor?
"We're going tomorrow, right?"
Tomorrow.
