Chapter Title: Tower-Climbing Fox God VTuber
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Whoosh──!!
Hot lava surged and overflowed.
A space so scorching that no living creature could even breathe.
The lava flowing across the ground was hot enough to melt rock.
Jumping into a blast furnace wouldn't feel this intense.
The sky itself was dyed red, and the temperature in [Floor 61] was rising exponentially without end.
Having claimed her rewards, and now climbing solo, she had turned on the stream for her viewers.
-Aren't even climbers gonna die here?
-Holy Swordmaster would die too lololol
-Dude, it's just lava everywhere.
-Wow, so this is how the world ends.
-It kinda feels like the streamer's burning passion.
"This year has been the worst!! Forty-nine of my beloved VTubers graduated!! And even more are scheduled to soon... sob!! But they'll be happy wherever they go, right? Even if they come back, graduation is the death of a character! It's an eternal farewell!! Not even this scorching lava and steam can evaporate the tears flowing from my eyes because of our parting!!"
Wakamo, tears genuinely streaming from her eyes, sobbed pitifully.
A team needs all five members! Losing even one leaves a heartbreaking void!!
But wishing happiness upon the one departing—that's the true mark of a splendid farewell.
Even today, in the gallery, fans who'd spent two years together were leaving streams because they couldn't bear their oshi's graduation anymore, unable to endure the pain—tired of goodbyes. To them, Wakamo could only offer a VTuber's famous quote.
"Believers, all of this will become memories. Everything eventually turns into memories."
Meeting a VTuber, the bond that follows, happy times contrasted with the sad moment of farewell.
The world cruelly pushes us, left alone, to keep living.
"But one thing we can do is make memories filled with happiness. Not sad ones. That way, we can carry those memories in our hearts, and they won't hurt us."
-VTuber wisdom comes from Wakamo~
-She's a severe VTuber addict.
-We at big corps don't notice, but VTubers graduate a ton every day.
-Rumor has it the streamer gives huge sums to graduating VTubers.
-Wakamo gives retirement bonuses to VTubers, for real?
-Yeah, she really does. She's insane.
"I earned this money to donate!!! What's wrong with supporting VTubers heading into harsh reality!!"
-Just pure oshi love.
-She really spends money cleanly lololol.
-Hoarding it all just to blow on donations;;;
-Is it true our country is a VTuber welfare powerhouse?
-She supports male VTubers too.
"Nowadays, I can tell if someone's a VTuber or an otaku just by brushing past them."
-Getting less human by the day.
-Weren't you ever human?
-lolololol.
-Just someone missing idols....
-Realm where you see the red pill without wanting to.
"Anyway, what the hell is this Floor 61?"
Even the waves from [Idol's Tsunami] evaporated quickly in the intense heat.
[[Mana Ignition] causes [Idol's Body] to spontaneously combust!!]
These days, she almost felt empty without such penalties.
To show the viewers clearly, Wakamo, engulfed in roaring flames, tied her headband and raised a flag.
"My beloved VTubers, take a break for your health!! Don't say you're graduating even if you're late, Atlantis!!!"
-Know exactly who she's talking about lololol.
-Our oshi's been streaming hard lately~
-Streamer with affection for ocean lovers.
-Been into twins lately.
-Those twins were talking about sharks.
-Ah....
"Virtual Live pisses me off!! If you're a big corp, provide proper welfare!! Free our shrine maiden octopus trapped in chaos!!!"
-Is this a protest stream today?
-Showing what a real burning protest looks like.
-Lighting yourself on fire first then protesting lololol.
-Ma! Back in my day, this was standard!!
-Streamer not using meteor lacquer is the real humor.
-Our VTuber babies have the brains to judge.
-Streamer, even monkeys will learn to protest thanks to you at this rate.
Waving the flag wildly while ablaze, with the year almost over, she "protested" (?) that everyone worked hard, and next year, may many VTubers stream healthily, debut, and make joyful memories.
No believers criticized the streamer's obsessive VTuber love anymore.
Newcomers asking "Is she always like this?" got pinned links from true fans.
"[Wooooooooh!!! Ooooooh!!!]"
[Climbing Incheon Tower Floor 61 World]
-[Wakamo Inarizushi] Climber's achievements raise the difficulty!
-Defeat the [Super Elite Boss Monster]!
-Take down [Doom Whipflesh Hell Revenant].

Boom─!
Crack crack!
[Time Limit: 0:06]
A mummy monster with whips coiled around both hands and futuristic-looking gun barrels on its waist and shoulders burst out.
Resembling a human, it roared, spewing mana from its mouth glowing like lava.
Clang─!!
Spotting Wakamo, the Hell Revenant uncoiled its whips and assumed a stance.
Faster than the bang!, the swung whip evoked a spine, blades on each segment vibrating at ultra-high speed, wrapped in demon-type monster aura.
The ultra-high-vibration energy blade whip absorbed energy with every thrash, resonating, unleashing shockwaves and slashes that tore the air with each swing.
Wakamo dodged every close-range attack leisurely, hands at her sides.
"Slow."
At the taunt, the Revenant's eyes flashed, firing lasers.
The heat rays pierced Wakamo—or her afterimage.
From the waist and shoulder guns, eye-bladed boomerangs chased her with rapid-fire ratatata!!
Not retreating, just sidestepping, the boomerangs curved sharply like magnet-pulled.
Admiring how they passed harmlessly through the firing Revenant.
Twice astonished by the Revenant's agility: torso twisting fully, leg joints rotating to face her instantly.
Ting ting ting──!!
The Revenant relentlessly pursued with hellish whips.
But Wakamo flicked the boomerang away with a single strand of hair plucked and held.
Precisely into both shoulder joints.
One arm behind her back, Wakamo danced with the Revenant using that impossibly thin hair strand.
"[Graaaah!! Kyaaaaah!!!]"
Enveloped in hellfire, the boss entered phase 2, roaring and flooding the area with mana.
No warning—the hellstorm would incinerate lungs to ash for any who inhaled.
"Slow."
Infusing mana tightly into the hair strand—part of [Idol's Body]—Wakamo's single sword-slash had long passed through the Revenant.
"Can't even notice you were cut?"
Only then did the Revenant realize its vision skewed, clutching its head with both hands.
But the soundless slash coated in [Holiness] was fatally effective against demon-types; unable to regenerate, it staggered a few steps and split in half, collapsing.
-This is Floor 61...?
-Holy Swordmaster level, how to beat lolol
-Monsters are pitiful now.
-Didn't even see the swing.
-No weapons now, beating with hair.
-"Original power" restored by the tower.
-Amazingly, our streamer has 5 more phases left.
-Almost like "Tower: This game is bullshit lol, ah lolol"
[Incheon Tower Floor 61 achieves Platinum, opening to all humanity!!]

"...Tough choice? Time for the mental VTuber conference!"
-What's a mental VTuber conference?
-Oshis in her head talking via delusion.
-Doesn't the streamer need a psych ward?
-? Otakus can embody characters and talk, duh.
-Ah, you haven't reached that realm yet.
-You don't know the otaku abyss?
-"Understand" a character, and you see the flow.
-Honestly, streamer would embody herself.
[Additional option! Gain Random Reward Chest!]
"No way, surprise gift here? You bastard?"
Just give dedicated items.
Where'd that mic from the Italy arena evaporate to, you fucker!!
Give me an item to sing well!!
'Damn, short on Broadcast Points.'
Needs for 【Idol's Dance Ban】, buffs, all sorts of misc.
Saves up quick, but one use drains massively, so she hoards unconsciously.
【Faith】 and extra stats for climber growth, 【Ether】 too—Wakamo can't use much, but needed.
Stockpiling Ether lets her damage foes just by surrounding herself, even unused.
[Acquired Skill [Job-Exclusive Skill 【VTuber Tracking Linkage】]!]
After mental VTuber conference, Wakamo chose this.
Existing Job-Exclusive 【Real-Time Rendering】: "Implements model movements in real-time."
Motion Capture outputs non-mana judgments usefully; Rendering implements the model.
Copying foes to implement their models—even [Floor 60 Idol] possible.
So, what about Job-Exclusive 【VTuber Tracking Linkage】?
"Link VTuber (model) movements to your will"—Wakamo had a loophole flash.
["Wait, Lady Wakamo. Why make potion turning climber into monster?"]
["For me to eat."]
["????"]
New path for her researched [Guardian Loophole] substitute fighter method (?).
Anticipating fun, Wakamo pondered which tower monsters qualified as idols.
But ultimately—doesn't matter how many cards if you play the strongest?
Maybe even debut the watching [Arbiter] as VTuber?
Nah, too much.
But an idol from her records? Fine?!
[Korean Tower]'s gift [【Ether】Cost Unit]!!
Wakamo cleared Floor 60 bosses fixing mana to 0, overwhelming numbers, time-stop authority—practically copyright owner?
Even Floor 50 had superior idol "Wakamo's Image" as 【Beauty Toppling Nations' Wicked Woman】.
Thus thinking, Wakamo stepped to Floor 62.
[Climbing Incheon Tower Floor 62 World]
-Providing trials befitting sturdy climbers
-[Wakamo Inarizushi] Climber's achievements raise the difficulty!
-Defeat the [Heroic Spirit]!
-Take down [Dead Moroz of the Frozen Fields]!!
[Platinum Achievement Conditions]
-Defeat [Dead Moroz of the Frozen Fields] (0/1)
"Dead Moroz?"
Puzzled by the unfamiliar name, a bell tolled from beyond the white snowy plain.
Blue-clad, riding a sleigh pulled by three horses, staff in hand—undeniably Santa Grandpa appeared.
With Christmas near, tower surprise gift?
The horned Dead Moroz blew icy wind at Wakamo, asking.
["Cold?"]
"It's freezing, fuck!! My gozaru samurai can't speak from stress-induced psychosis!! Gimme presents!!!"
-Reason streamer's pissed today.
-[Skills] can't heal mental illness.
-If a VTuber hurts, streamer blames herself.
-What's with this year.
-3rd anniversary hype to tearful roar.
-Today's stream is stress relief.
["Then freeze!!"]
"All fans' greatest fear is the ice age of frozen streams—you're VTubers' enemy!!"
-Just slapping on random reasons.
-Needs excuses to beat down.
-But looks like Santa anywhere?
-In Russia, it's a Santa figure.
-Trying to freeze bad kids then?
-Streamer beats Santa for VTubers, takes presents.
-Aha!
Shut up with that chill, biting cold wind.
Composing herself amid it, Wakamo focused, forming hand seals.
Thinking to show [Hanging], then—gift boxes flew at her.
[Enchanted by Dead Moroz's [Gift Barrage] skill!]
"What enchantment?"
Dumbfounded, hands unpacked gifts involuntarily.
Blossoming smile at VTuber concert tickets and figures she'd craved.
But briefly—viewers burst laughing at gifts, Wakamo smashed figure into Santa(?).
"You gave me unverified bootleg merch?! "
["Naughty child!"]
"You smashed my VTuber figure, you bastard?!"
["Huh?"]
-This is just a madman lololol
-Santa's concept shattered in confusion.
-No, you threw it!! You threw it!!!
-Fake ice figure, ok to smash.
-But VTuber figure broke? Angry?
-What's her infinite rage fuel.
-Streamer doesn't care about reasons lololol
Amid believers' "going insane" fest, Wakamo dodged ice magic effortlessly, creating distance.
Not [My Worlds] but [Wakamo's Domain]—test summoning [Guardian], and honestly, dumping stress from depressing VTuber news!!
"【Domain Expansion】"
Storm winds blew, darkness blanketed the sky.
Blood pools littered with countless white human skulls devoured the snowy plain instantly.
"【Evil Path Hell】"
Casting, then 【Teleport】—Wakamo beheaded the sleigh horses.
Clean combo with space leap; Dead Moroz's staff and sleigh severed, but evaded as eye-fog.
Expression soured, aware Wakamo let him escape.
Facing such Santa, fists forward, Wakamo smiled, chanting.
"Furube yurayura"
Monster-ified [Idol's Body] Wakamo, Job-Exclusive 【Real-Time Rendering】 creates [Floor 60 Idol].
[Guardian] guards Wakamo Inarizushi's domain.
Exists only inside.
Slime-liquidizing, compressing via 【Mana Core】, overlays on Wakamo to implement model.
Next, auto-annihilation on foes.
But casting Job-Exclusive 【VTuber Tracking Linkage】—idol's fingers twitched.
["Cold──!!"]
Blizzard to freeze the domain turned space to tundra instantly.
Behind Dead Moroz, massive ice queen lunged.
[Snegurochka], ice spirit legend as Dead Moroz's granddaughter, smashed thorn-fist down.
["Wakamo Inarizushi!!"]
Orrat──!!
Pulled stored Wakamo doll from [VTuber Assets]—no, Wakamo with [Arbiter]'s body smiled her face.
["Same power-type stand──"]
["Snegurochka! Turn to ice statue!!"]
Spirit energy through doll-contact fist iced doll-Wakamo's arm.
But Wakamo shattered ice with opposite hand combo, slamming back the giant fist.
["──Was that what you saw, old timer!!! Hahahaha!! Feeling the ultimate HIGH!!!]"
Ether-excited Wakamo cackled, arching back.
Using another's face made her even bolder, manipulating [Idol] to close gap.
Camera pushed Dead Moroz out of skill range, diving in.
["Time stop within 9 seconds──I'll end you!!]"
【Time Stop】!!
Wakamo's skill plus [Idol]'s (tower-recorded) simultaneously.
Stats unimplemented since Wakamo's is degraded tower version.
But surpassing all: 【Authority】!!
Boom─!
Semicircle authority domain halted Dead Moroz; [Idol] soared skyward.
Summoned clone, [VTuber Model] shift to [RX-78-2 TANK], dropping.
["Tank incoming──!!!]"
Kwaaaaaang──!!!
[Weight of Faith] and [Idol's Minerals]—survival impossible on impact.
Trapped in frozen time, no defense possible.
["It's over."]
Crack in face from one authority, but fully controlling [Idol]'s body, Wakamo smiled.
Korean Tower didn't design for this.
Skill predated from Chinese Tower climb.
Korean Tower's spaghetti code struck again.
["VTuber!! Idol's Body!! Hehehehahahaha!! Authority power!! Thus, no one surpasses me! [Idol]—proven!! Beloved believers! Christmas gifts from this body instead of Santa!! Feel the warmth of oshi's love!!!]"
-Voice scary AF, but words so warm.
-See the pinned: gifts for fans soon ㅅㅂlol
-Orphanage donations, no reason, mad streamer.
-Aims to warm Christmas-streaming fans.
-Believers can only worship.
-But won't Six Realms bosses rage?
-Ehem! Streamer's transform is Floor 60 boss~ Different person~
-A lololol got it lolol
[Incheon Tower Floor 62 achieves Platinum, opening to all humanity!!]
[Tower Platinum clear increases rewards]
Basking in victory cheers, arms wide, [Idol] reveled.
Overcoming no-【Authority】 flaw with absurd skill combo, Wakamo thanked Korean Tower.
Without impossible diffs and cheat-authority bosses, how tough?
Job-Exclusive 【Virtual World】 gone, [Guardian] dispersed, Mana Core reverted to Wakamo.
"To all meetings so far─just gratitude."
Borrowed [Guardian]'s [Ether Generator] for Man Eater fight, knew principle from Ben—increased efficiency/performance.
Past: one Time Stop collapsed [Guardian]; now maintains form!!
[Guardians], [Vatican Tower], [Korean Tower]'s bullshit trials birthed another.
But Floor 62 difficulty felt too low vs 60, oddly underwhelming.
"Anyway believers! Random chest from rewards—open on Christmas?"
Shaking [Tower Random Reward Chest] (skipped skills), ended stream, exited.
As if waiting, Asuka approached troubled.
"M-Master?"
"Yeah? What?"
"Challenge letter for you."
Asuka popped [Internet Connection] window, showing community-flaming [Challenge].
[Author: Duelist]
[Title: Listen up, my beloved oshis]
(GIF of figure smash-throw)
Disappointed in this stream!!
You're the streamer rebuying goods after Italy Tower wrecked them!
Even fakes, don't handle merch like that!
As fellow VTuber fan, challenge to you using goods as rage bait!!
I'll make you see merch value.
Come to AGF VTuber Duel Booth, face me.
If I win, streamer graduates VTuber, returns to clipper!!
(Listener proof pic).
-Wow, another oil fan?
-This guy's card tourney champ vs streamer?
-Tiny event promo hilarious lolol
-Here we have Mihawk crushing with weakest Doremi deck!!
ㄴTrash horse girl Duelist and Empress coming too.
ㄴJust says fanmeet dueling Empress?
ㄴTrue fan confirmed.
-Streamer's clipper days legendary lolol
-Today's vibe was that era streamer?
-Pissed off another listener, Wakamo.
"What the hell?"
"Telling you about official event with fave Empress joining VTuber?"
"It worked... Duel time!"
Nothing delights Wakamo like fast VTuber news.
Grateful to informer; lately shedding merch obsession/attachment.
Past self wouldn't throw even fakes—Italy scars deep.
Still, "graduate VTuber, back to clipper"?
Dark clipper days now black history for VTuber President Wakamo!!
"But Asuka, you didn't block it?"
"I have a conscience."
"Reason?"
"Victim of your Legendary class job change."
Wakamo believed fans mustn't cross lines.
This time, even if fan brings gun, she'd overlook.
Guess to someone, I'm a bad VTuber──!!
