Awakening
I drank 26 cans of energy drink and became a girl through gender bender.
But now with a bit of blood vomiting and fainting.
Whoa!
"...W-what?"
My vision was lower than usual.
Blonde hair that reached down to my waist.
A voice scary high-pitched.
"A girl...?"
As I muttered in a high voice while staring at my reflection in the mirror that had become a girl, I said.
But it didn't take long to realize what happened to me.
Because a semi-transparent status window popped up in front of my eyes as if it was waiting for me to open my mouth.
Job: Alchemist
Trait: Drug Addiction (EX), Drug Resistance (S)
Skill: Transmutation (A)
"S-Status window...?"
Yes, it was the status window.
The one only awakener can see.
But it suddenly popped up in front of my eyes.
Without any warning.
What the hell is this situation?
Ding!
Achieved the worst, most foolish achievement that defies common sense!
The tower is concerned about your mental state and is granting you awakening traits.
Awakened as an Alchemist.
Obtained trait: Drug Addiction (EX).
Obtained trait: Drug Resistance (S).
Obtained skill: Transmutation (A).
"Hah."
The system message popped up at the perfect timing, as if waiting.
Perhaps because I was unconscious, it pushed in front of my eyes.
The tone was strangely mocking...
But for now, that's not important.
The meaning was clear.
"I... became an awakener...?"
I had become an awakener.
And that after drinking 26 cans of energy drink.
As soon as I realized that, I immediately picked up my phone.
"Gallery...!! Gallery is dead...!!"
I became an awakener, so I have to do what I have to do.
In conclusion, I couldn't go to the gallery.
[Blocked IP]
"Ha, what the hell...?"
I have no idea why it was blocked.
How much they wanted to suppress the flow?
...I don't know the reason, but such suppression is troublesome.
Blocking for just one post?
If that's the case, at least tell me the blocking period.
"Should I just post a casus on the gang channel?"
Of course, even if so, I don't have any intention to do anything right now.
Thanks to that post yesterday going to the gallery for a moment, I became a super star of the Awakener Gallery overnight.

"Even though not an awakener, such bait...!!"
Well, like most galleries, when the awakener bait was rolled in the awakener gallery...
Still, among non-awakener galleries, cases where it became a hot topic to this extent were rare.
"Quickly report survival and eat the gallery..."
Since I don't know when the cuff will be released from flow suppression.
This time, since I became an awakener, should I make a new nickname?
Click!
Thinking that in my heart, I took the Monster can from the fridge with my fern-like hand.
I could say, after almost dying from vomiting blood while drinking energy drink, how can it go down my throat now...
But the Watashi who became a celebrity through awakening can no longer be knocked down by mere caffeine.
Trait: Drug Resistance (S)
Ability: Grants immunity to all kinds of drugs.
"Glug glug... Phew!"
Consumed a new drug.
Energy Drink
Grade: D
Details: A drink made by mixing synthetic sweeteners and caffeine. Provides a light awakening effect upon ingestion.
Addiction rate increases by 1%.
The system message popping up right after chugging one Monster can.
Honestly, it feels like this side is the main one compared to drug resistance.
Among the S-grade hunters who fly high, people with EX-grade traits are rare.
Trait: Drug Addiction (EX)
Ability: Stats increase in proportion to the addiction rate.
Addiction rate: 1%
"Glug glug... Phew!"
Then, I threw the empty energy drink can towards the pile of cans stacked in one corner of the room.
Clang!
"Ready, right?"
A name that seems like it has the soul of a younger brother.
But in reality, it was a pile of aluminum cans stacked high.
I immediately used the 'Transmutation' skill towards the stacked aluminum cans.
"Transmute on──"
...No.
"Transmutation."
Transmutation
Consumes mana and catalyst to transmute materials.
Flash!
After completing the chant, light burst from my hand and the stacked cans started sticking together.
A scene similar to the explosion heaven used in famous ninja comics.
Gradually, the cans that were gooey like clay took shape, and soon a crude sword about two fists in size was completed.
Skill: Transmutation (A)
Ability: Consumes mana and catalyst to transmute materials.
"Again, one-handed is the way... This is a dagger."
I muttered while turning the made dagger this way and that.
Due to low proficiency, the quality wasn't great, but the edge was decent.
Overall, it was a level that could be used somehow.
It was satisfactory for a first work.
"Well, that's enough for skill check."
After finishing the short skill check, I immediately turned on my phone again to check the gallery.
[Blocked IP]
"...Ugh."
It seemed like the blockers were really angry, and there was no sign of unblocking.
Moreover, not even telling the reason for blocking or the period was very malicious.
Still, since the IP wasn't added to the gang channel notice, it seemed like it would be unblocked someday...
"Then what."
I can't do gallery stuff right now.
For me, an awakener gallery addict, gallery stuff is a major matter.
If I don't do gallery stuff even for a day, I'll have thorns in my ass.
What? How important can gallery stuff be?
After all, isn't it just an unhealthy harmful site full of empty talk from the M generation?
Wow... You really hit the core.
However, draw a line here.
Gallery stuff is not simply spending time in an internet community.
It's a 'cultural production activity' done behind the scenes anonymously.
In other words, gallery stuff is a faith.
Losing faith is like death...!
...Actually, it was just dopamine withdrawal symptoms.
Well, even if not, I didn't plan to wait until the block is lifted as is.
"Since I awakened, there's no need to stay in the awakener gallery."

< Awakener Minor Gallery ⓜ >
Commonly called Jjapgalgal.
This is a gallery created by people who came to the tower with the dream of life reversal but couldn't awaken and got their lives ruined.
A collection of posts from life failure loser youths who couldn't awaken.
Of course, there are awakener, but the ratio is terrifyingly small.
In short, it's a place like the outside tower's pan gallery, go gallery, wa gallery.
I don't know if it's still there.
"Then where is the real Jjapgalgal?"
Dumb, the real Jjapgalgal is not a gallery.
It's closer to a kind of 'awakener community' than a gallery.
...No, originally, the awakener gallery should have that role.
But there, it's not an internet gallery, it's a 'system' that only awakener can use.
Awakener Community.
Commonly called Tower Gallery.
...Calling it tower gallery makes it sound like there should be bottom gallery, a literally shitty name.
It's a community of awakener created by the system itself.
No need for electricity, wifi, VPN, or Tor, the so-called status window gallery.
Like the one that comes out with cheat abilities in web novels.
[ Awakener Community ]
And I, who is now a proper awakener, can use the tower gallery.
However, there was one condition to use this tower gallery...
[Available from floor 1]
The reason the tower gallery is called tower gallery.
Because only awakener climbing the tower can use it.
In other words, to become a fan nickname in the tower gallery, one must climb the tower.
"......"
It's a nonsensical statement logically.
To do gallery, you have to risk your life climbing the tower?
With this soft, fragile body, a place where even adult men die easily?
That's really crazy talk.
"Let's do it right now."
And that was something I, such a person, could never tolerate.
