Chapter 45: 11th Floor: Escape Plan (2)
After asking about other minor rules and points of caution, I arrived at the room where I would be staying.
"Room 16, this is it. If you wait, the others who were admitted with you will be here soon. Your duties are waived for today, so get some rest. Someone will bring you food for today only. The real thing starts tomorrow, so steel yourself."
Creeak, thud...
The iron-barred door closed.
The entrance to the cell consisted of iron bars that slid open sideways and a curtain-like sheet inside, similar to a blackout curtain. Perhaps as a courtesy to the newcomer, the black curtain was drawn to prevent anyone from seeing inside.
The interior, which had looked cramped from the outside, was surprisingly long and spacious.
There were six beds, quite decent for prisoners, and individual plastic lockers.
In the center was a large plastic table, and at the far end of the wall, a wall-mounted TV.
The facility was reminiscent of new-style military barracks.
There were two bathrooms, both with attached showers, and they felt just like a regular bathroom in a house.
And the most important thing right now was…
“I’m alone…?”
I had been waiting for this moment.
First, I went into the bathroom and closed the door.
“Hoo…”
I took a deep breath and opened the chat window.
“Chat window…”
- Oh?
- What’s this?
- Do-hee hi~
- lolololol What’s the occasion?
- Whoa~ Perfect timing. Everyone just finished jacking off and left.
[Current Viewers: 19,123]
It was still a large number compared to before, even with people having left, but it seemed the sexually harassing, jerk-off anons were gone.
That’s a relief…
“Is everything okay out there…?”
- lolol
- Things went crazy after they saw you get fucked.
“Ah… they went crazy?”
- Reporters from the giant guilds posted a shit-ton of negative articles, but we’re cleaning them up.
- It’s a pain in the ass cleaning up the mess from you getting fucked over.
“Ah…”
- Still, public opinion isn’t too bad.
- Yeah, it’s fine. We’re fighting with the narrative that ‘Lee Do-hee climbs the Tower, even if it means doing this!’
- Honestly, if it were just us, public opinion might have turned sour, but when actual women joined the fight, it really changed the mood.
- For real, when actual women got pissed, asking how they could use a forced sexual assault against you, the reporters all took their articles down lolololol
- When they’re on our side, they’re so damn reliable…
That’s a relief…
I’m attacked for having a slutty image because I’m a woman, but I’m also protected from sex scandals because I’m a woman.
“Thank you. To everyone fighting for me… no, for freedom. I express my sincerest gratitude. So, if you’ll excuse me, I’m just going to go drain the cum from my pussy.”
As I bowed my head to express my thanks, I suddenly felt the semen trickle down below and panicked.
- Fuckin’ hell lol
- Wow, going from a moving speech to draining cum from her pussy…
- Goddammit, you bitch lol
- lolololololololol
- Ah, well, you have to get the cum out if you don’t want to get pregnant.
- This bitch can’t get pregnant, so it doesn’t matter. She’s probably just doing it because it feels gross.
[DoheeTunaSoDelicious has donated 50,000 won]
Do-hee, that’s all divine power, why are you draining it? Hurry up and put it back in.
“Ah…”
- Crazy bastard lololol
- It takes time to break it down, yeah, yeah.
- Just plug it up with a cork.
- lolololololol
- Today’s stream is a wild ride lol
“Ah… yes, well, I’ll leave this in for now. The reason I turned on the chat wasn’t for that, but because of the necklace.”
- ?
- The necklace?
- She’s really gonna leave the cum in…?
- It’s that thing, isn’t it?
- It’s that. That thing (I don’t know what it is).
- Ah, that?
- What the hell is ‘that,’ you bastards?
“Mm… yes. It’s that. This is an ability-suppressing restraint made by Hygenkopf. You all know this much, right? The Voltia Empire is classified as the 27th planet, so it appears quite often, doesn’t it?”
The moment I heard about the Celestia Church, the ability-suppressing restraint, and the Voltia Empire, I was certain of where I was.
- Ah, of course!!
- I already knew that!!
- Naturally (first time hearing this).
- Who the fuck knows that, you bitch lol
- What is that;;
- Kick the ones who are pretending to know.
“Hmph… Who climbs the Tower with just brute force?”
In my past life, I actually wore this very necklace during a trial on the 62nd floor.
Of course, I struggled immensely at first, but I remember barely passing after learning how to dismantle it near the very end.
“You won’t find a video of how to dismantle this anywhere. I’ll show you and explain as I do it.”
In reality, anyone who relies on their status window and gets stuck with this necklace is almost 100% guaranteed to die. And if you learn how to do it half-assed, it’ll either explode while you’re trying to disarm it, or you’ll trigger an alarm, get caught, and die.
“Alright, I’m starting now. This is a lecture you couldn’t get even for tens of millions of won. Listen carefully, especially those of you who are Awakened.”
I looked up and saw a small CCTV in the bathroom as well.
Thanks, you prison guard bastard.
To think he’d give me the valuable information that they don’t really watch the CCTVs. I thought to myself that if we ever had to fight, I’d have to spare him. I placed my hand on the necklace.
“First, I’ll explain the operating principle of this necklace.”
I grabbed my necklace with one hand and sat comfortably on the toilet to explain.
“At a glance, this looks like an all-purpose tool that blocks all abilities, but that’s not actually the case. It can only block one of the ten existing types of abilities, like mana, divine power, or internal energy. That’s why people with rare powers actually love it when they see this.”
- Ooh, first time hearing that.
- How in the world does she know all this stuff;;
- Hurry up and show us.
“Ah, shall I get right to it then?”
First, I had to disassemble the necklace.
The screws weren’t protruding; they were small and slightly recessed. Trying to turn them with my fingernails would be impossible.
“To disassemble it, you have to loosen the screws first. But of course, there’s nothing like that in here, right? There’s the option of killing another inmate and taking their teeth or bones, but that would significantly increase the chances of getting caught.”
- What
- Killing?
- Psycho Do-hee, whoa
“But, everyone. Did you know that as your defense stat increases, every substance that comes from your body gets harder?”
- Yep.
- Yeah, yeah.
- First I’m hearing of it.
- How are you gonna use that?
I would show them with my actions.
First, I took off my shoes, placed my right foot on my left thigh, and bent down to bite off my right big toenail with my teeth.
My chest was a bit squished, which was uncomfortable, but thanks to my flexible body, I managed it without any trouble.
- ???
- Ugh, gross.
- Wow, look at her tits pop out lol
- Do-hee, what are you doing?
- Buying Do-hee’s toenail.
Likewise, I bit off my left big toenail.
“Hmm… let me see if this matches the screw size.”
The big toenail is the hardest of all human fingernails and toenails.
I carefully shaped it with my teeth.
Then, I used my incisors to carve a groove in the center of the slightly thicker right toenail and inserted the left toenail into it, creating a cross shape.
“See? Now it’s a Phillips head, right?”
- What is that?
- What are you gonna do with that?
- I’ve never seen a method like this in my life lol
- It’s only possible because she’s an Awakened lol
- Wow, new merch created!
- Merch my ass.
- Can’t you just pull out a tooth and use that?
“A tooth is too big. And besides getting injured, you need a harder material to properly craft it for use, and it’s not easy to find something like that in a prison. Other than bone, the big toenail is the second hardest, so it’s the most suitable.”
As I said that, I plucked out a few strands of my hair.
“Nnggghhh!!!”
My strength is low, but my defense is still high, so pulling out my hair was surprisingly difficult.
I used my teeth to carve another small groove at the end of the cross-shaped toenail and tied the hair into that groove.
One strand of hair seemed insufficient, so I tied about five.
“Hmm… I’m not sure if this will work.”
I tried fitting the toenail screwdriver into the screw head.
It didn’t fit, so I meticulously ground it down with my teeth to adjust the size.
Once the perfectly sized toenail screwdriver fit, I pressed down on it with my hand to keep it from slipping out, grabbed the hair, and slowly turned.
Screee…!
“Oh…!!”
I could feel the screw turning.
- ???
- No way, that shit actually works?
- This is fucking absurd.
- Where the hell does she learn these kinds of tricks? lol
- It only works because she’s an Awakened, guys.
“Everyone, loosening the screws isn’t all there is to it.”
Even a normal person could loosen the screws with a screwdriver.
What kind of idiot would make a restraint like that?
“Now I’ll loosen the remaining 11 screws, release the strength control, and change the shield that blocks divine power into one that blocks internal energy.”
This restraint limits a person according to their abilities.
Its principle is to block all the mana roads passing through the neck, thereby cutting off the commands sent from the brain to areas like the heart or the mana core.
It’s the same with strength.
Even if I possess greater strength, the restraint places a limit on the commands for strength going from the brain to the muscles, preventing me from using it.
That’s why my defense and agility are unaffected, and while I could use my strong bite force as a last resort, its range is far too short, isn’t it?
Before I knew it, all the screws were loose.
“Now, if I just lift this off thinking all the screws are out, the necklace will explode, and I’ll be blown to bits, right? And if I were to completely disable this necklace’s function, an alarm would probably go off somewhere.”
- Whoa… then what do you do?
- Throw it away really fucking fast before it blows.
“Unfortunately, the necklace only separates top and bottom. To remove it completely from my neck, I need an authentication key.”
- Then what do you do?
- Man, this is so complicated.
- Is this even possible? I searched for it, but there’s no guide on how to remove it.
- For real, it just says not to remove it lol
- Do-hee, you’re not gonna die, are you?
“Of course, there’s a loophole here too. This necklace operates on the basis of a living target. So, if I temporarily stop my heart, it deactivates. At that moment, I have to modify the signal that controls my strength and switch the shield blocking divine power to one that blocks internal energy.”
- Temporarily stop your heart…?
- Wouldn’t you die?
- Do-hee, haven’t you been watching too many movies?
- You’re not using a defibrillator or some weird elixir, you’re just going to stop your heart?
- The heart isn’t an organ that just stops when you tell it to…
“I’ll teach you how to stop your heart later. For the record, you can’t do it unless you’re an Awakened. Normal people, do not try this.”
I don’t need to disable the necklace’s function entirely, just change it.
Then, the necklace won’t send a warning alert and will continue to operate normally. To be precise, the receiving end will continue to get a response that the necklace is functioning, but it’s the same thing.
There are many variables.
This one necklace allows for a complete body status check, so someone might investigate the temporary cardiac arrest. I could accidentally touch the wrong circuit during the cardiac arrest and the necklace could explode. Or I could just die from the cardiac arrest itself.
Even I’m a little nervous about this.
I practiced a lot in my past life, but I’ve only ever succeeded once in a real situation.
There’s no guarantee I’ll succeed this time either.
“Hoo… I’m turning off the chat for a moment.”
I have to risk my life.
I slowly inhale, then exhale a long breath.
Sweat trickles down my neck from the tension.
I separate another piece of my toenail for modifying the sensor and hold it between my fingers in advance.
I can do this… No, I have to do this!
With the index finger and thumb of my left hand, I press down hard on my neck, right over my carotid artery.
Squeeeeze!!!
Harder, harder!!
I press on my neck to stop the blood flow and tense my stomach.
“Hup!!”
Blocking my neck like this stops the blood flow, which can temporarily disrupt the vagus nerve.
The vagus nerve is part of the nervous system that can send signals to slow the heart rate. Right now, that nerve is being tricked into thinking my body is experiencing extremely high blood pressure, and it’s adjusting to make my heart beat very slowly for a moment.
Krrghhhk…
My vision is turning white.
If I keep this up, I’ll either pass out or actually die from cardiac arrest.
Just a little more…
I can still feel my heart beating.
It doesn’t need to be a complete cardiac arrest. The necklace registers cardiac arrest at around 20 bpm, about a quarter of the normal rate.
And not long after,
Thump……… thump………
I feel the faint beating of my heart.
It worked.
My vision blurs.
Fighting the feeling that I’m about to collapse, I open the necklace with my right hand.
I support the necklace lid with the pinky finger of my right hand and immediately insert my index finger and thumb inside the restraint.
My fingers move as if they’ve repeated this hundreds of times.
I use the toenail fragment to touch and change the sensors in the tiny parts where my fingers can’t reach.
Please, just a little longer…
I quickly disarm the six safety devices that would cause an immediate explosion if even one was wrong, and manually change the direction of the sensors.
Done…
I feel the strength returning to my body.
Clinging to my fading consciousness, I close the necklace and release my left hand from my neck at the same time.
“Hgh—eup!!!!!”
“Hahk… hahk…”
My head is spinning.
My legs give out, and I slump to the floor.
Cold sweat pours down my body, and only now do my hands begin to tremble.
I almost died for real…
“Hoo… hoo… Everyone… did you… see that?”
I open the chat window as I tighten the screws again.
- ????
- What was that?
- How the hell do you stop your heart?
- Wouldn’t doing that just make you pass out in 5 seconds?
- Calling something only you can do a guide again, you fucking bitch!
- lolololol
- Does that even make sense?
- The Guide (Only I can do it)
“Haa… haa… I’ll give you a proper guide when I get out later. Ah, I really thought I was going to die…”
Success.
The things my past self did have saved my present self.
“Alright! Now it’s time to reap the sweet rewards, isn’t it?”
- Hell, yeah.
- She’s just gonna brush past that like it was nothing?
- I’m so hyped for the stats.
- Her Lewd Power must have gone up a ton, right?
- Lewd lewd lewd.
- The fact that you can get stronger through sex is just absurd.
- Let’s gooo~~!
“Ahem… anyway, let’s take a look.”
It’s been a while since I’ve shouted it.
“Status Window!!!”
First, I look at my Lewd Power…
Lewd Power: 12.2 → 128
It went up by over 100 at once…?
Curious, I clicked on the Sex Status Window.
『Entities Engaged With: 47
Goblin x2, Irene’s Husband, Yoon…』
Shwick!
I gave it a quick scan and moved on.
So even just a blowjob counts as a relationship.
“Ahem, I’ll look at this later!”
I skipped the embarrassing part and checked the other things first.
- Unlocked at Lewd Power 30. (Unlocked)
Sexual Skill Maximization: The positive efficiency of your sex-related traits increases by 100%.
- Unlocked at Lewd Power 100. (Unlocked)
Sturdy Body: A body for breeding must be sturdy.
Defense +100%, All elemental resistances (fire, ice, poison, electric, etc.) +50.
Elemental resistance…?
Elemental resistance isn’t a very significant stat, really. It just feels like an addition to defense, so it’s a highly inefficient stat to raise on purpose.
Besides, there aren’t just simple elements like fire, water, and ice. As you travel the world, you encounter not only attributes like decay, darkness, and electricity, but also fused attributes combining several elements, and even unique attributes. All in all, you could run into about 100 different types, so other than fire or poison resistance, it was a stat not worth raising.
But if it’s all resistances, that’s a slightly different story.
It means I’m resistant to almost every attack besides simple physical ones, so it feels like I got a free 50 points in defense.
“Everyone… these have all been unlocked…”
- Wow…
- You’re already getting elemental resistance?
- You were aiming for this, weren’t you?
- Leveling up with sex!
- Fucking hell lololol
- This is seriously unbelievable.
- You fucking bitch lololol, you cheated again, didn’t you?
“Ahem… shall we see what’s changed with my other traits?”
『<Breeding Holy Spearwoman>
Divine Power +100%
Lewd Power +100%
Power of spear-based weapons increases by 40%.
<Path of the Lewd Priest>
Mana +4
Defense +6
<[SSS-rank Sacred Onahole Body]>

Divine Power +2400%
[SS-rank Lewd Lee Do-hee's Divine Power]
All buff efficiency increases by 400%. Can only be used on self or on targets with whom you have had sexual relations.
<Irene's Female Body Training Secret Manual>
A training manual for women created by the first empress of the Arcadia Empire. Its efficiency has been doubled due to a unique stat.
Progress: 38%』
“……”
- That’s cheating, that’s just cheating.
- Administrator, there’s an illegal program user here!!
- 2400%? Am I seeing that right?
- Do-hee, isn’t this a bit much? lol
Is this really okay?
Even I was starting to get a little worried.
The numbers looked like they were boosted using an illegal hack program. It didn’t feel real, you know?
The Tower administrators aren’t going to drag me away for this, are they…?
Basically, all my traits had doubled, and even the effect of Irene’s secret manual had doubled.
My Lewd Power doubled the <Breeding Holy Spearwoman> trait, and the <Breeding Holy Spearwoman> trait, in turn, increased my Lewd Power by 100%.
“Well then… I’ll check my stats this time.”
I used all my buff skills and scrolled down to the final stats window.
<Final Stats>
Strength: 43 → 60.6
Agility: 24 → 30.6
Defense: 32 → 87.6
Divine Power: 315.9 → 720.2

- Excuse me, but you’re much stronger than me, and I’m past the 30th floor.
- Her total stats are probably higher than a high-floor user’s.
- Wow~ ‘The Tower is equal’!!!!
- If her base stat total is around 900…
- Fun fact) Choi Tae-soo’s stat total on the 49th floor is around 500.
- Wow lol
- Lee Do-hee, making all the other prospects look like amateurs…
- The protesters are going to rise up again lolololol
- Regarding the Matter of Becoming an Overpowered Onahole…
[Dotamuk has donated 50,000 won]
The administrator has to be a perv who’s crazy for busty women. God, this Tower is so fucking unfair.
“…I’m breaking out today.”
But why do I feel a little… disappointed?
