Chapter Title: Tower-Climbing Fox God VTuber
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"No tightrope? So I can just use anything roughly?"
From the start of the stream, amid the enthusiastic welcome, Wakamo fetched a kitchen knife from the kitchen, stood it upright roughly, and climbed on top. By setting her weight to zero and maintaining balance, the knife wouldn't tip over.
-Is this really the tightrope??
-Blade won't cut if you press down hard enough, they say.
-But she's standing on the blade. What's that about?
-Kitchen knife just won't pierce, that's all.
-Climber ain't called superhuman for nothing.
-Standing on tiptoes?
-What the fuck lolololol
Balancing on just the tip of her big toe, Wakamo displayed astonishing equilibrium. In truth, as long as the knife didn't fall, her body could hold any pose without faltering, making such circus-like tricks possible.
"Arabesque."
She gracefully extended one leg straight back, performing a ballet move with a smile.
-Impossible to predict this stream's flow.
-Why ballet all of a sudden?
-Declaration of ambition to swallow foreign lands beyond Asia?
-Welcome to our Wakamo's castle....
-Nice to meet you, new viewer.
-Newbies, streams don't go as you think, got it?
-That's why streamer-led streams are fun, right?
"Tightropes are for shrine maidens. I'm a fox god, so I don't need one! I've got a cheating item!"
-Cheating cheat item dominating Asia.
-Why the hell does she even have that?
-Common theory is the Tower had it and turned it into an item.
-Authentic goods certified by the Tower? lololol
-Fox God, just do luxury authentic stuff??
-Heard that bronze bell is from the Dangun myth....
-Just how old is she...?
-Fox God probably lied a ton to claim a thousand years lolol
-Thousand years is young lolol
"Really now. My believers are all sky-high energy. This is just a ceremonial bronze bell."
She displayed the item description on screen. An interface anyone could use if they were climbers—not really a skill, per se?
Thanks to it, climbers rarely got scammed buying or selling goods. If it wasn't classified as an item, it was basically a powerless fake.
Showing the descriptions of the Imperial Seal and Kusanagi no Tsurugi again, confirmed genuine by the Tower, the believers just laughed.
It was more like deranged snickering than proper laughter. What the hell kind of fox god is this?
Relic-grade items popped up occasionally, but considering how the Tower raised climbers, the odds of something like that dropping were practically zero. Some climbers figured it was just a souvenir tossed in rarely, tailored to the climber's desires amid rewards.
So aiming for relic-grade items...
Was like getting equipment or weapons that didn't fit their odd job, so "here, take this instead."
Or their job specialized in that(?), so they showered you with those items.
And surprisingly, Wakamo fit both categories.
Truly pitiful.
The Tower's magic power scaled with outside followers, so she gathered believers by being worshipped as an idol with the item it gave her, climbing the Tower... Anyone could see it was less a Tower-climbing job and more a non-combat one thriving outside.
But Wakamo overcame it with violence... no, effort, so the Tower must be proud.
Here's an item for you, my idol.
Though the Tower surely never meant for it to be used like this.
"Yass! Jackpot!! That thing, uh... alas... or whatever..."
-How old even is she?
-Not age, era...?
-And she didn't prep content or lines? For real?
-Truly hits home, high-quality budget stream.....
-0.6% 5-star rate, three in a row? What's the math?
-Duh? If we had brains for that, we wouldn't play this game.
-Why's this idiot watching streams with that IQ.
-Man, so jealous!!
"Got three 5-stars. None I wanted, but they came out, right? Y'all lacked the desperation."
-Fox God gave three 5-stars and they didn't come? Believer's fault for sure.
-Didn't fetch water daily and pray earnestly.
-Lacked sincerity! Sincerity!!!
-Disrespecting Korea's shaman worship traditions that persist to modern day.
-Didn't do proper ancestral rites lolol
A believer requested pulls for a busty buruma character from a mobile gacha game called [Pudor], and right on the 10-pull, three 5-stars dropped—a massive win—but the screen filled with dudes instead of the desired character, sending believers into hysterics.
"[Aaaah!!! My diamonds!!!!]"
A wretched scream echoed through the linked Discord. The believer begged, "Fox God, please just one more pull!!" but Wakamo cut it off quick.
"Alright, next up: the believer wanting that [Maple Story] Star Force or whatever to 24-star. What's the success rate?"
-1% lolol
-Wow, crazy madlad lolol
-How expensive is that item to entrust it here?
-Better than praying to a god and pulling yourself?
-God pulling for you is better, right??
-Really?
"No, if it's a really important game item, don't entrust it to a fox god—do it yourself?"
Wakamo, knowing the famous game well, replied with a stunned expression, but the believer insisted, "I only trust Fox God!!" and prayed desperately. Unswayed, Wakamo narrowed her eyes, dissecting the viewer.
As half-lidded Wakamo excited viewers into spam, she grinned, apparently done dissecting.
"Wow! This one! A loyal fan from before I went VTuber!! Makes sense, that era was something."
-Bitcoin and stocks 100% success legend era...
-Invested back then? I'd buy it with cash lololol
-Bought that with it?
-Ask if he's a total madlad?
-Fucking transcends common sense, insane.
-Brought what he bought with that money back to Fox God lololol
-Kya lolol Was gonna boot the newbie, but this backfires.
Wrecking such an expensive item could turn him into an anti-fan. But seeing this ancient clipper-era believer chant "Only trust Fox God!!" and cheer three cheers, Wakamo couldn't refuse.
"Heaven and earth spirits! Bless this pitiful believer who's sacrificed romance and life to games!!!"
-All facts, no cap...
-Life this pathetic? God recognizes it.
-God: What does it take for a male to never touch a female?
-Who’s the heaven-earth spirit Fox God prays to? Dangun?
-Maybe Dangun's dad lololol
-Gathering gods from Korea, China, Japan in one go?
-Scale filthy huge lolol
-Not "life to games," it's "life is games!!!"
Ding-!
"Huh? It worked?"
-?
-?
-?
-Fuck Fox God I'm a pitiful dude too show mercy [Chat banned].
-Phew, almost spurted watching...
-10-pull three 5-stars? 1% is candy lololol
-Victory for the 5-year Fox God worshipper.
"Wow, it actually stuck."
-No lololol why doubt lololol
-Our god got skills after all(?)
-Easier than making it rain?
-Than winning wars.
-Human affairs hang on heaven, but games? Easy lolol
-Probability manipulation???
-But this game has a bug where enhancement probs aren't 1%?
-Anyway, it stuck? 100% right?
-Enhancements either stick or shatter lolol
-All the gambling addicts gathered.
Even Wakamo was shocked. Did she really have such divine powers...? Boosting believers' luck or something...?
Should've used it on myself. Wasted.
VTuber merch lotteries, concert tickets... So damn wasteful... Shouldn't have used on believers....
-Why streamer got poop-face?
"Didn't know it'd work here, I'd have done it... How many concert tickets I missed.... Goods haunting me..."
-Save goods over believer if they drown together...
-Huh? Goods worth more than believer?
-Goods won't cancel sub lololol
-Why even together? Believer steal it?
-Maybe tossed believer in to get it.
-Sacrificed believer to Incheon Lake for other believers...
-As long as it's not me lololol
The string of unbelievable miracles continued, leaving even Wakamo stunned by her absurd luck. But mid-content, she thought... Isn't this a flop?
Need some failures for tension, but she's winning nonstop?
"Truly spine-chilling low odds.... 6.7% pickup on 10-pull, 0.7% for desired character.... Brutal!!"
-"Total flop『Blue Envelope』"
-"Pickup smash『Pink Envelope』"
-"Pity『Recruit Points』"
-What are you, baldy!!!
-No need to yell, we know you won't give lol Blue Bang!!
-Not pulling...?
"Win it."
-Win declaration right off bat!!!
-Yeah, Fox God strongest among us!!
-Challenger? Cheonggyecheon.
-Flipped Korean climbers on appearance...
-Japan's top sorcerer Wakamo incoming!!
-Upper chats all spot-on, hilarious.
Ding-
-????
-No way, she pulls this too???
-Lie lie lie???
-No fails ever? Makes sense????
-Eyes saw it, brain rejects lololol
-Better than the guy who pulled 5 Tamamos and adopted them out.
-He got five 5-stars, happy...
-Tamamo (trash performance).
-Asking Fox God for Tamamo game was mistake lolol
-I'll give thee foxes.
Sweat started beading. Luck too high...? Ritual success this effective? Shakings bells, swinging sword every which way, Wakamo danced like a real shaman possessed.
Need a proper flop to bail~ but why succeed!!!
"Alright, believer. What next? FIFA card breaking? Ah, card enhancement."
"[Yes yes, please Wakamo sob sob]"
"Well... 38% success..."
Crack.
-Ah
-Ah
-Ah
Good flow, 38% ain't low(?), head gone mad, Wakamo hit enhance thoughtlessly and watched the card shatter.
"No, just restart... That expensive..?"
-Not really, maybe 120.
-Bullshit, it's 10.
-Streamer, this guy's crying?
-? Real juice vet?
[sob sob sob...]
-Run run.
-Time to bail?
-Bounce streamer lololol
-Go at it fair?
-Girl tears stronger lolol
Mocked by believers, the guy wailed harder; Wakamo scratched head awkwardly. How to handle.
"Really crying? No really crying."
[N-no, not crying...]
"Hmm... Believer, stop crying. Long-time viewer. I'll send a signed one. Okay?"
-Really?
-Guy's voice brightens wtf.
-What, I can cry too.
-I can cry sadder!!!!!!
-Die die die die.
-How you juice that hard for clout??
-Why you get signed we can't? You only? You only?
-Uh oh, darkening...
On the verge of real tears, guy who wouldn't stop for "men don't cry," but signed item? Blooming smiles, spamming thanks.
Meanwhile, chats joked trading five foxes for it, turning the believer into a meme.
"Alright, next cries? No more of this? Got it, believers?"
-No no I want signed too.
-Waaahhhh.
-Can ugly cry for real!!!!
-King-of-the-hill memories, tear acting ez fuck lol
-Gay.... Buck up dude...
-Give this one...
-First streamer signed that!!!!
-Oh yeah? Hang him then?
-Weakling bawling over game ain't believer material!!!
"Whew...."
Pressing throbbing head, Wakamo soothed believers: Part 1 ends here! Part 2: Tower climb! Calmed quick, but hyena-like mob chasing the signed believer worried her.
"VTuber signed stuff, fans want it...."
"Nadyu jueyo President."
"Anytime. First change background... Pick BGM carefully... Before entering, potion from Ichigo... Huh?"
Pre-Tower climb, stocked consumables anticipating Incheon Tower murder attempts.
[My Worlds] opens anywhere, handy like [Inventory]. Fridge potions fine, but stream-unfriendly, so carried separately.
Mid-check, unseen ! popped; tapping opened skill window blocking view.
Job-exclusive skill [Broadcast Points]
-Accumulated from streams, bless believers with boons.
Current points: -17
[No usable boons available]
"......?"
Negative...?
Over 500 points from hard streaming, where...?
Tower...? Something wrong...? Gacha on believers used my points? No wonder success rate insane.
Wait, usable like that...? No boons available????
Wakamo unaware of [Broadcast Points]' hidden second skill? Wtf?
Idol thing, provides boons for believers...?
Unsettling chill crept in.
Like icy warning: See this before Tower.
"Manager, does 'anything' really mean anything?"
"[.....What you wanna ask?]"
※※※
"Ohayogozaimasu, Wakamo Inarizushi. You lot."
-Part 2 welcome.
-Hunting the crybaby.
-Nick changed and bailed? Real?
-Guy traded for streamer signed, quit game????
-I'd quit too lololol
-Fox God signed = holy relic value insane.
Furious believers still hunting the signed one.
Praying he survives, Wakamo checked 18th floor info without showing worry.
Unlike any prior monster, a massive steel mountain stared blankly.
Distant, but three stories tall—mind-boggling scale.
So-called [Golem] appearance; Wakamo inwardly panicked, sweating. Total wipeout. Poison, fire, ice—useless.
But not all golems immune to magic...!!
[Climbing Incheon Tower 18th Floor World]
-[Wakamo Inarizushi] climber's feats raise difficulty!
-Vanquish [Elite Monster]!
-Defeat [Hardsteel Golem with Mana Immunity].
[Platinum Achievement Conditions]
-Vs [Hardsteel Golem with Mana Immunity], use no [Skills] (0/1)
-Block [Hardsteel Golem with Mana Immunity]'s attack (0/1)
-Destroy [Hardsteel Golem with Mana Immunity]'s weak point [Core] (0/1)
-Defeat [Hardsteel Golem with Mana Immunity] (0/1)
FUCKED!
Clinging to slim hope it might not be, Wakamo leaped and full-powered roundhouse kicked the golem.
10,000 mana roundhouse!!
"....."
All power into kick—no sound, just skid as foot met golem.
-....?
-Why no damage?
-Physical immune? lolol
-Ahahaha streamer's sorcery (physical) ineffective!!
-Tower monsters too strong....!!
-18th floor and losing???
Viewers totally misunderstanding Wakamo, zero worry.
No, blatant counter-pick!
Caught incoming steel fist barehanded, halted it—but Wakamo had no damage method.
All Japan feats relied on massive mana attacks.
[Mana] nullified? Only physical beatdown left.
But Wakamo's body is mana!!
'18th floor, why just me...!'
Tower mistook her for fox god?!
"Aaah—really.... Didn't plan to use here!!!"
Setting down bag dwarfing her giant frame—boom—dust billowed.
Obvious heavy; some believers questioned unfamiliar design.
Among climbers...
Some recognized: "Streamer no way?" but it revealed itself.
Everyone thought it, but Tower made unusable!!
