Chapter 88: Moon God Spear Record (越神槍錄)
“Hoo…”
It was time to wake from the dream and return to reality.
Many questions still remained.
What had actually happened to Irene?
What was the ten-year gap?
What were the True Ending and the Normal Ending…?
And what had become of Irene, left behind in the cabin without me…?
“Haah… I got completely absorbed without even realizing. Chat window.”
I opened the chat, trying to force myself to forget and return to the present.
- T_T
- What happened to Irene?
- Just got here, what’s going on? That slut Irene did what?
- Lady Irene T_T
- Irene is the true heroine.
- Irene, I permit you to become my wife!
- Don’t you dare insult Irene ever again.
- Yeah, right. Once she gets that secret manual, she’s gonna get fucked senseless~
[Dohui Information has donated 50,000 won]
Info: The real Irene had 3,000 husbands.
- ??
- The fuck?
- Yeah, that’s a lie~ No way~
- What?
- They said she lived for a thousand years, so it’s possible.
- Ahahaha
- Hey now.
- That bastard…
- Do not insult our Lady Irene!!
- What, so she’s just a common slut?
“Hey, that, that guy… Manager, please give that donor… a one-day chat ban!”
Yes, this was reality.
My broadcast, a chaotic mess of sexual harassment and dopamine addicts.
Those who had been watching my stream from the beginning might shed tears over my story with Irene, but how many people like that could there be after two weeks?
To those who just dropped in after seeing some random scissoring pic on a weird community site, the story was nothing more than, ‘Irene almost died? Aww, too bad~’.
Most people haven't experienced it themselves, so they just think of it as a story from a virtual world, with virtual people. And of course, they’re right. The characters inside The Tower are all from a virtual world…
I wanted to think that way too… but it wasn’t as easy as it sounded.
- Irene is alive!! She lives on in my heart T_T
- Don’t get so invested lol
- Lee Do-hee, bring Irene back to life!
- I wanna fuck Irene too.
- Haa… that lesbian sex was delicious, please do it one more time.
- If she does it one more time, all the polar bears will die, you bastards~
- What’s a polar bear?
“Sigh, you perverts… Anyway, is there any new information about Irene?”
- Nothing about that period.
- Irene probably got pissed and erased the records.
- The blank ten years are scary.
- Dotamuk: Should I tell you the story after the continental unification?
After Irene unified the continent… I did want to hear about it.
“Give me a brief summary, please.”
- Dotamuk: Okay. After unifying the continent, Irene reached the level of a Grand Swordmaster. And I don’t know how she did it, but it’s recorded that she lived for over a thousand years.
- For real, she’s like a mythical being…
- Wow…
- How can a human live for a thousand years?
- Dotamuk: She had 3,000 official husbands. The number of unofficial ones is unknown since there are no records.
- See, she is a slut.
“Quiet. Slut, you’re banned!”
- lolololol
- Hey, stop slandering the pure Lady Irene.
- Dotamuk: There’s no mention of sexual techniques, but I think she probably learned them because her physical abilities were lacking compared to her swordsmanship.
“That could be it.”
It was true. While Irene had a genius-level talent for the sword, her body wasn’t exceptionally powerful.
- Dotamuk: Irene didn’t just learn swordsmanship. She opened dimensional portals and traveled to various other worlds, mastering spearmanship, archery, magic, spirit arts, magical engineering, martial arts, and more, all to the limits of human potential. There’s a story that about 1,000 years into her reign, she unlocked a stage beyond Grand Swordmaster.
“A stage above Grand Swordmaster…?”
I knew about Irene’s thousand-year empire, but the rest was new to me.
- Dotamuk: Yep. But for some reason, a battle with the divine realm broke out right after. After a 20-year war, humanity barely managed to win, but Irene went missing, and the unified empire split back into several nations.
“Missing… Wait, is it even possible to fight the divine realm…?”
- Dotamuk: Oh, for reference, there’s a story that the empire at the time had nearly 20 to 30 Grand Swordmasters and 10th Circle Archmages that Irene had raised.
- That world’s balance is so broken…
- What kind of horror story is that?
- Irene’s talent is on a planetary scale… a single human just started a war with the gods;;
- Why is the power balance over there so messed up lol
- Did they all die?
- Dotamuk: Yep. In the battle with the divine realm, all the strong humans except Irene died, and 70% of the continent’s population was wiped out.
- The world got reset…
“Hoo… I see. Understood. You’re practically a historian. You’re not an actual scholar, are you?”
- Dotamuk: I’m a scholar who researches how to fuck you. It’s been over two weeks, why haven’t you offered up your pussy? I got cut in the first round.
- lololololol
- He shows his true colors immediately.
- But for real, it’s been two weeks in the trial.
- Yeah, she has to go to the 22nd floor~
- Ah, right, you automatically go to the 22nd floor.
“Ahem… I’ll be revoking your manager privileges now. Thank you for your hard work gathering and compiling the data. I suspect you’ll probably fail the second round as well.”
- What?
- lolololol
- If you don’t like it, become a high-ranking Awakened~
- Isn’t that guy an Awakened who’s past the 20th floor? But he didn’t pass the first round?
- Wait, don’t just brush it off.
- Seriously, compensate us for the two weeks~~!
- Hurry up and provide the elixirs~
It was true that I said I’d provide elixirs every two weeks, but what could I do? I was in the waiting room for the next floor to get a full recovery.
“Ahem… First, shall we see what the reward is?”
- Ooh, a reward!
- Wait, could this be a triple?
- No, the elixirs…
- Let’s see the reward first, okay?
- Yeah, I already came~
Thankfully, the viewers’ attention shifted somewhat.
“I’ll prepare to provide the elixirs within a few days of getting out of The Tower. First, let’s talk again after I’ve climbed to the 22nd floor.”
Since arguing here wouldn’t change anything, the viewers quickly agreed, curious about my reward.
- Fine, let’s see the reward.
- For real, it’s not like she can do it now anyway.
- It’s like, everyone knows but they’re just saying it.
- Reward reward reward
- Please be futanari.
- Can’t you get something like an Irene summoning skill?
[You will receive an SSS-rank reward. Please choose your reward.]
“As expected, the difficulty of a hidden ending for an S-rank trial is on another level.”
Three cards shimmered in the air, turning to show their backs. As always, this moment was thrilling.
The gap between S-rank and SS-rank was greater than the gap between A-rank and S-rank.
And the gap to SSS-rank was even wider.
Just look at the bonus stats you receive.
A is 2.
S is 3.
SS is 5.
SSS is 10.
That’s how hard it is to get a higher grade. It’s no wonder guilds use tricks to funnel contribution points to one person.
“Let’s look at them one by one. Please!!”
The first card.
[SSS-rank Futanari Cock]
You grow a massive cock. You retain your female reproductive organs, and the effects gained during intercourse can be equally applied to your female partner.
Any female body penetrated by this cock will be rendered helpless and writhe in pleasure.
“…Excuse me?”
- Wow
- Futanari is actually an option?
- Let’s go get revenge on Irene.
- Are you going to accept female guild members now?
- Whoa~ I admit, the admins have good taste.
- What kind of algorithm is that?
- "writhe in pleasure" lmaooo
- Helpless once the dick is in lol
- Is this the algorithm you get for fucking a girl as a girl?
- lololol
- I’m against it. Nothing is as beautiful as pure scissoring.
“Haa… this is insane. Who would burn an SSS-rank reward on this? Let’s see the next one.”
Even though I’d become a woman, I still had my pride.
Futanari… this was a bit… To be honest, if I wasn’t streaming, I might have chosen it, but not now.
I ignored the viewers’ pleas and revealed the next card.
The second card.
<Explosive Necklace>
A necklace embedded with the 8th Circle magic, Hellfire.
Casting time is 1 second after activation.
Cooldown is once every two weeks, and it activates centered on the necklace.
It damages everyone without discriminating, including the user.
“What is this…”
Isn’t this just a suicide necklace? How far could I throw it in one second…
- Is the destructive power about the same as what we saw in the trial?
- It’s a complete strategic weapon.
- If you stick it in someone’s ass like a grenade… you’d die together, huh?
- That’s good. More useful than the futanari dick.
- What are you talking about? Futanari is way better than that piece of trash.
- I still think the futanari option is better.
- Couldn’t you use a divine power explosion on the necklace to launch it like a missile?
“Hmm… this one’s ambiguous. If used well, it could be a trump card, but let’s see the third one first.”
The third card.
[SSS-rank Irene’s Spearmanship Secret Manual]
A spearmanship manual Irene created while remembering someone’s spear.
This is the final, revised version, created in collaboration with Jin Seoryeong, known as the greatest spear master of her time, and amended over hundreds of years.
Becomes bound upon activation. Can only be bound to one person.
“……”
Is this a coincidence, or… is it fate?
To be honest, I’d realized a lot about my combat style during this trial.
Specifically, the problem with my spearmanship.
Aside from the minor skills I learned in my past life, the only proper manual I’d learned from was the javelin manual. Even then, rather than studying it deeply, I felt like I’d just efficiently acquired the useful techniques with the system’s help.
And even those techniques weren’t producing their full power. Wielding skills that used mana in my past life with divine power now felt about 2 percent off.
And while all skills get a system correction through levels, the skills I was using felt slightly weaker than even a level 1 skill.
With my body changed to a woman’s and my memories slightly faded, I probably couldn’t perfectly replicate the flow of mana through the meridians of my past life’s body.
So I just ended up swinging my spear as my body dictated. In truth, I felt my shortcomings keenly when I fought myself on the 20th floor, and when I fought the Sword Saint.
I had no unique strength.
A free-form spearmanship is good for improvisation, but its ceiling is ultimately not high.
My spearmanship contained no ‘profound principle’ or ‘will’.
I had no ultimate finishing move.
Whether it’s a form, a technique, or a skill, simply swinging well with high stats will surely hit a limit someday.
My talent had covered for it until now, but if someone with higher stats and better talent appeared, could I really win?
Some might think I’m being complacent, but my talent for martial arts itself isn’t actually that high.
My specialty is finding a path to victory.
It’s the ability to endure without giving up, to find a breakthrough and a solution. My pure talent for martial arts isn’t that great. Of course, it’s still a talent that ordinary people couldn’t even dream of, but the arena I have to fight in is filled with the world’s most renowned prodigies.
For example, the retired Sword Saint had a greater talent for the sword than I did, and there was a woman in China who handled a spear better than me.
‘Yes, I’m still lacking in many ways.’
“I’ll choose the spearmanship secret manual.”
- Ah, my futanari!!!
- Kuaaaack, futanari!
- Mmm, yes, that’s the right choice.
- This feels like it contains Irene’s will…
- Did she visit a martial arts world too?
- T_T Lady Irene T_T
- It feels like something left behind by the dead.
As I chose the card, a thick stack of books rained down from the air onto my head.
“Eh…?”
Thud-dud-dud!! Thwack! Thwack!
“Hey, who gives a secret manual like this…”
It felt like someone was trying to mess with me.
I gathered the manuals scattered on the floor and registered them in my status window. They immediately vanished one by one, absorbed into the system.
“For now, shall we have a little taste?”
The 22nd-floor trial would start automatically after a certain amount of time, but I still had plenty.
[SSS-rank Irene’s Spearmanship Secret Manual: Moon God Spear Record (越神槍錄)]
‘Moon God Spear Record? Does it mean a spear that surpasses the gods…?’
Training Progression: 0%
First Form: Straight Heart One Spear (直心一槍)
Second Form: Cleansing Flow (洒流)
Third Form: Angle Shatter (角破)
…
..
.
.
“Oh… this is a real secret manual?”
Once bound, the manual’s contents were filled with new information.
After learning all 24 basic forms, I would be able to learn the Secret Arts (奧義) and the Final Secret Arts.
I had no idea why the form names were a hybrid mix of English and Hanja, but it was probably the result of a collaboration between Irene and someone from a martial world.
Each book contained one form written in dense detail, and after reading it to the end, I would be able to enter Irene’s subspace to train directly.
‘So I’ll meet another Irene…’
What kind of Irene would this be? The same one, or one with a completely separate personality?
Would she even remember me?
I couldn’t find out yet.
To read the entire manual and enter the subspace, I’d probably have to clear the 22nd floor first.
‘From now on, things will be completely different from my past life.’
I had a gut feeling that learning this manual would allow me to break free from the shadow of my past life’s techniques. I’d still use the efficient ones, but most would be discarded, replaced by a new, original set of skills unique to Lee Do-hee.
It wasn’t that I disliked the idea. I just thought to myself that this, too, was a kind of farewell.
“Shall we get going now?”
The keyword for the 22nd-floor trial was ‘Success’.
I would be assigned a profession and would have to achieve great success in it.
There were combat professions like knight or assassin, but it was common to get ordinary ones like farmer, businessman, or chef.
It was famous for being an easy trial with a high clear rate because you didn’t have to become number one in the world; the trial set a reasonable goal for you.
And one more thing: from here on, a system function called ‘Skip’ was provided.
You could use Skip for tasks that took an excessively long time or involved repetitive work, or for peaceful travel.
Of course, it wasn’t available in every trial. The number of skippable trials increased as you went up, but there weren’t that many.
According to research, the skip function was only provided on floors that would take over a year to clear normally.
- Let’s gooo!!
- Haa… this is gonna take forever too.
- Guess I’ll have to save up my fap material.
- The 22nd floor is famous for being easy lol
- Hurry up and get it done~
- Good luck!
With the cheers of my viewers, I entered the trial of The Tower.
Shwoong!
