Chapter Title: Fox God VTuber Climbing the Tower
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Ugh..."
I let out heavy sighs as I returned to my mid-sized studio apartment and flopped around listlessly. I didn't even have the energy to tidy up the place.
[Mana Manipulation]
-Enhances by consuming mana according to your will.
-During activation, mana continuously decreases based on the intensity.
This was the skill I'd acquired... but it allowed me to consume a fixed amount of mana at once to strengthen specific parts. Since my entire body was made of mana, it seemed like a skill that was possible, but the mana consumption was insanely high. It felt like every time I moved, the mana was concentrating in one spot.
After practicing it diligently, I finally managed to change my clothes.
Until now, I hadn't thought much about it, but Wakamo's outfit was completely fixed.
Wakamo, including the clothes.
In other words, the clothes were part of my body.
Using [Mana Manipulation], I could alter the appearance at least, though it cost a ton of mana. That made me think I could probably reshape my entire body like dough, but given how much mana it took just to change one outfit, it was better not to bother.
Click, click—
For now, I uploaded the edited video to the channel.
Clips were already floating around everywhere, so anyone who wanted to see it probably had, but didn't I have to upload the full thing myself?
I thought I should come up with a proper channel name someday and temporarily set it to [Wakamo Inarizushi]. I uploaded what could practically be considered my first video, 【Fox God Climbing the Tower】, and opened the community tab. With subscribers growing nicely, the reactions came quicker than expected.
[Poster: Believer No. 1]
[Title: Video dropped!!!]
(Monkey screeching meme).
The tower-back-climber chief uploaded a video, believers!!!
You see it? It's insane (haven't watched yet). Hope no clueless idiots post shit like that.
It's just straight fire. 5 years of clipping experience doesn't fade lololol.
-Is it really that good?
-Wow~ So this is a VTuber(?) Amazing.
-Edits videos like a pro but lives like a caveman??
-Born a beast, probably??
-Why not a fox (disappointed).
The first video I uploaded didn't have great commentary, as you know, so I didn't add any voiceover.
I laid down some appropriately serious background music to set the mood, pulled clips from other Incheon Tower videos, and inserted them. Then it shows the tower's scenery. Viewers will marvel at the otherworldly view of the 1st floor they've only heard about, and climbers will reminisce about their own experiences.
Unless you conquer a tower, you can't tackle another, so there were surprisingly many climbers stuck in just one.
Considering them too, I showed plenty of scenery before the bouncy oil blob, the [Oil Slime], pops out. A slime-type monster. The fact that a liquid creature has a sense of self and moves would be fascinating enough for viewers.
10 years since the towers appeared. There are tons of photos and records of monsters that came outside, but seeing one alive and wriggling up close like this? Rare.
Then, in what seems like a peaceful documentary of a slime's daily routine, a brute suddenly barges in.
Kwachik!!
A merciless bare foot crushes and squishes the slime, the camera pans up to reveal the back of a black-haired woman in traditional hanbok-like attire with fox ears.
Then it shows the [Horn Bunny] and [Angry Boar], overlapping with their charges as the [Feral Deer] leaps out.
Cut to the fox god in front of a crackling campfire, chiseling stones together and crafting a weapon from nearby materials. She swings it to hunt the [Horn Bunny], smashes the [Angry Boar] with brutal force—shards of the shattered weapon reflect the [Feral Deer].
No reflection on stone, obviously staged.
Then unfolds the scene of her grabbing the massive deer's antlers and splitting its head with a hand blade against its charge.
Bare-handed and barefoot, the fox god advances, and the [Killer Ankole Watusi] roars and charges. Its huge horns snap, head crumples, it collapses—cut to the fox god by the fire, ripping into the meat she hunted.
Blood trickling from chin to chest looks eerie at first glance but carries a strangely seductive allure.
Viewers knew this much already. That's why they were eyeing the remaining video time with anticipation.
Clatter clatter—
What emerges is a real undead! The classic skeleton from movies and comics! But they know—10 years of tower collapses brought endless horrors. Get nicked by that rusty, chipped sword? Tetanus. Chased to death by tireless skeletons? Rare, but it happened.
Pitch black, blending into shadows, hard to spot—but soon the abandoned mine's torchlight illuminates the fox god, and she gestures.
The mindless undead roars and swings its sword; she snatches the blade with her hand edge, twists and snaps the wrist.
Clean, no-frills blade grab. Big, obvious motion—she kicks up shield and all, skeleton embeds in the ceiling, crushed.
Arms dangling, one leg straight up overhead in an unbalanced pose, yet the fox god doesn't waver.
Splash.
Water as her foot comes down.
Then bursts a [Frog] type monster, infamous for drowning people by the riverbank. It lashes its tongue around her arm, grinning lewdly with creepy eyes, yanking to twist her head—but the taut tongue doesn't budge.
Next: the fox god yanks hard, pulling the Frog Fighter into a straight punch—boom, black shadow explodes.
Scene shatters the darkness; suddenly holding a golden fan, the fox god faces a [Fallen Dwarf Marksman] aiming its barrel.
No time to rush, yet—bang! Real gunshot, bullet flies. She swings the fan to slice it, spins like a dance with sleeves fluttering, launches the folded fan—impales the dwarf's head, drops it.
This part I refilmed on 8th floor with both cameras.
Without glancing back at the fallen dwarf, she brushes her sleeve lightly, turns to the door to the next floor—light floods from it, filling the screen as the video ends.
Combat-packed videos are common these days, but 1v1 monster fights inside the tower, raw physical martial prowess you can feel, capped with wuxia-style techniques—viewers' excited comments flooded in.
-Wow, those thighs are insane thickness fr.
-"That's a thousand-year-old fox god in front of you."
-Tang Dynasty: deflects arrows. Joseon Dynasty: survives matchlock. "Resume."
-Nails the "she's lived longer" vibe perfectly.
-Takes the bizarre concept beyond admiration.
-Climbers can slice bullets, right?
Monsters die to bullets too.. Lowest-floor climbers are still human...
Then fox god's lowest-floor climber but how??
Live 1000 years and you can too lol
Ah!
Ah my ass, boobs drop everyone's IQ??
-0:13, 0:28, 1:31, 1:42.
-Thanks, great hero...
-Dragging... thunk. Dragging... thunk.
In a way, this was Wakamo Inarizushi's proper debut video as a VTuber. And the response was better than expected. Sure, tons questioning if this was really a VTuber... but mostly positive, so Wakamo could sigh in relief.
After a moment's thought.
[Wakamo Inarizushi is live!]
"Everyone, konnichiwa~! I'm the fluffy-tailed fox god VTuber Wakamo Inarizushi!"
-Tower-back broadcast name plz.
-Real tail? Show it. Dying here.
-Why, camera... oh wait! No 2D PNGTuber??
-Chief's voice is deep in every sense, fr.
-Why does this person's energy yo-yo every kill?
-Sweet or bitchy, pick one or two.
-Foxes are cat family not dog? Gets it now.
-Chief might be a chihuahua.
-lololololol
They're grumbling about how she could climb the tower-back without them, but it's just whining. Whatever—Wakamo casually says she's prepping a new PNGTuber and to wait, throws on comfy clothes for low-stakes chat stream called "just chatting."
"Hmm, can you all see this fox god clearly~?"
-If not too rude, could we see the full character model?
-Dolphin pants? Asking the 1340th time.
-Barefoot? Show claws, urgent.
-Fox tail plz urgent.
"Dolphin pants yes, no feet show, fox tail here."
She swishes a big fluffy fox tail dramatically. More like it passed behind the character model and vanished. [Mana Manipulation] to mimic hair as a tail.
Anyway, viewers cheered at the plush, fluffy fox tail.
"Hmm, first off... my sensibilities might be off, so sorry about that."
-Apology? Sorry? Green PNG??
-Kid! This ain't that stream!
-Just grab the mic stand. Total chaos!!
-90-degree bow apology pls. Can't see the angle.
-These guys lolol lawsuit-proof huh lolol
-Chief's power on display, no backing... they're just like that....
-No but seriously, why not start stream right away? Where tf were you?
Felt like hordes from every community. Well... I was mulling things over wandering, so yeah, delayed stream.
Uploaded video to gauge reactions, waited. Meanwhile, pondered what kind of VTuber I'd be. Ideal VTuber bar too high—no dance, no sing. Pro instrument, black belt taekwondo so decent at that, but taekwondo for VTuber? Meh?
Ears drooped involuntarily; chat exploded.
I puffed my cheeks, staring elsewhere lost in thought, ignoring it.
"No, like... I hunted that cow, bit into it raw on stream as content, right...? Looking back, pretty gory. Don't you think...? Wanted to be like my fave VTubers now that I'm one, but rushed and messed up."
-Sudden sweetness feels off lol.
-Fox hunting and eating prey is content vibe?
-1000-year-old did her thing, we adapt?
-Human? Beast. But fox god, so ok.
-Common sense: catch it, eat it lol....
-Ears twitching is insanely cute. Voice gap wtf.
-No one doubts chief loves VTubers.
-Ideal too high, forcing it stressful??
"Yeah~ Like, spewing curses over stocks/coins, clipping other VTubers—that era's gone. Too far to hide the beast side now. Gotta broadcast considering all that.... To believers? Too rough ain't right. Ugh—it's hard fr."
-So right now, VTuber mode locked in, polite af?
-Yep, normal chief: "Yo ant bros, the body arrived."
-Honestly with this many viewers, chief might rethink seriously lol...
-Rampagers? Gov grabs 'em, ignore? lol
-Gov hauling off is the real horror lololol
-Spare me fox god!! I just drew golden bikini!!!
-So no more stock streams?
One chat mid-convo. Lots similar. Crowds this big, stocks/coins? Herd rushes, endless issues. My old vids' stocks already mooned via believers.
Ofc I sold all. Cut losses key in stocks.
"Hmm... truth is... was doing clairvoyance. Holed up in fox den, chilling watching VTubers. Then tower drops me level 1, says climb. Not didn't use spells—can't.... No shapeshift, super stuck. Can't go out... Two such women in world?"
-Yeah lol...
-Chief height 240cm, car-sized.
-Heart big enough to spot anywhere.
-Tower yoinks power like that?? Wild.
-Cant go out = chief doomed. No collabs/comiket?
"Exactly! Believer terms: like street fox vibing, suddenly kidnapped neutered. Hard to get?"
-How we know stray cat feels.
-No neuter but no girls so dunno...
-Born here, never touched woman skin....
-No sex = psychopath they say.
-So all maladjusted boob fetishists here!!
-All words first time hearing?? Real??
-Wtf picking fight?? Holding back for our god.
Chat flowing smoother than expected. Never breaking fox god concept. Chatting as real fox god Wakamo, steering naturally. Warming up slow like other VTubers.
Glancing at chat, ears twitching—viewers spreading everywhere, she oblivious. Polite, sweet continuation. No "don't force, be real?" thankfully.
"Love VTubers tons, didn't expect this... Huh? Collab queen? No... Subs this many? Total VTuber noob. Your fave virgin. Virgin real? 1000 years busy, no dating."
-Real? Heat cycles?
-1000yo virgin smells worse than squid probs.
-Unicorns bowing other meaning.
-No but why no stream today, what other streams??
-Check fan cafe's lord reactions.
"Oh, fan cafe. Forgot that existed?"
Did exist. Logged in—total mess. Manager who...? No recall.
Fanarts of me, ripped clips, [Tracking Which VTubers Chief Visited 81st Edition]. 81?? Viewers baffled how much scouting; vets bully newbies: "Full channel binge 2000 vids first."
Ignored, found one.
Me registering item on antique specialist VTuber stream.
["Ah, this official seal among antiques. But... jade seal, no lowly, real deal? If yes bigger issue... Super strength demon god, why not chase out? I'm civil official not martial, too much!! This, uh... not for me, take to real expert, fox lowly."]
"Love VTubers, so antiques stream? Pulled cherished item...."
-Cherished item (Tang lost jade seal).
-Wtf real. Why you have lololol
-Bowing true Chinese empress!!!
-No, China demands return??
-What legitimacy they got lolol chief's 1000yo cherished lololol
-Lol yes that's our big bro lololol
-Subs unite world conquest??
"Hmm... world conquest tempting. Conquer China, end forced doxxing injustice, revive VTubers."
-VTuber brainrot only.
-This fox true VTuber ghost, real deal.
-VTuber lover bows to senior.
-So why suddenly VTuber now??
-But why curse day 1? Not saying stop heh... roast me...
-(Fox glaring meme).
"Hmm... Climbing tower anyway, wanted VTuber. Excited? Turned beastly."
-Lol admit lolol
-Stocks make beast kids.
-Legendary league no human kids.
-Our chief famous iron.
-Iron beast?
-Means not human kid.
-Same thing heh.
"I wanna cuz love VTubers!! But qualified? Slap PNG anyone VTuber? Nah, serious—research content, games... Collab faves? Annoying? They might hurt."
-"No curse as twisted as love"
-BTC over ETH polite enough?
-Chief talent. Just do you.
-"Rude, but pure love"
-Just "VTuber from era without me" done.
Thought only VTuber ideal, but real-time chat weird vibe. Used to ignore, just VTuber talk.
Viewers here for true VTuber [Wakamo Inarizushi]. No viewers, no VTuber. Bit off but Milgram obedience, Stanford prison—roles shape people hard.
Yes, must take VTuber role seriously.
Day 1-2 treated viewers normal, but right as VTuber?
Rampaging your way is talent too. Pure unconscious burst... I lack!
Overseas famous shrine maiden prime example.
["Miss Shrine Maiden, what this letter (HIDE) say?"]
["Hmm... Hide!"]
["Ahahahaha!"]
VTubers got 【Glad we're VTubers, oshi】. Innate talent fit!
But I don't need VTuber obsession. Just climb tower.
Rushed to 8th for skills, post-nut clarity hit hard, cold self-analysis led here.
Effort.
Clipper lessons, oshi viewer handling, stream boundaries.
Comfy spot doesn't mean rampage.
Dream VTuber... vs reality compromise...
"VTubing profound like wuxia arts..."
Casual chat stream 2 hours done, reviewed day 3 logs—what wrong, issues, right attitude.
And whether Wakamo researched VTubing seriously or not.
Believers GIF'd ears twitching by mood.
GIF'd pouting at lord's scolding.
GIFs overflowing generous golden bikini tolerance.
Fan cafe harvested other way.
Manager dying.
Emailed Wakamo as manager, no reply—deader.
Writhing manager. Section Chief Wanda Hye—
Even so, found cute SD fox god GIF, cheered up.
