Chapter Title: Farewell, Human Clipper
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'll curse you... you fox god bastard.... Repaying kindness with enmity.....
My mind was distracted by the red pill concealment, so you did this to me...!!
To me, who was managing your assets, the real estate agent!!
─A single-family house blazing fiercely. Memories of the sad day I had just recently moved in flash by.... It was recent, but...
"That double-dealing fucker scammed me. Better off this way."
The sorrow of being scammed by the real estate agent even though I bought it with my own money. I decided to forget it all along with these flames.
Goodbye... me as a clipper living in Korea.
Nice to meet you! Fox God VTuber!
"Every time I played games, they called me inhuman, and now I've passed as a beast!!"
The tower's dangers combined with urban development meant there were hardly any people in this neighborhood anyway. I saw people coming out to watch the rising smoke and calling it in. Hearing someone shout that there was a person in the fire, I slipped back into the portal.
"Not even burned by fire, huh?"
It was an experiment, first off. From what I checked─I was no longer human at all. My race had changed, just like those people whose species transform.
But twisted even further, I'd become something like a mana ghost with physical presence. I thought I was breathing, but inhaling smoke in the flames did nothing. I expected a bit of coughing, but I was so fine it surprised me instead. The fire didn't feel hot so much as... my mana levels dropped rapidly.
Other climbers have stats distributed differently, earning points to invest as they ascend the tower, but I had none of that.
In plain terms, it was a simple setup: get stronger proportional to the number of believers. So if all 8 billion humans subbed, I'd become an ultra super fox god or something? But with power scaling like this, I'd face pushback. Overwhelming strength tends to breed wariness....
Like in those novels where Japanese, Chinese, and Russian climbers target promising Korean climbers out of jealousy!!
"For now, with lots of mana, I feel like I'd be fine even if I take hits."
Even [Angry Boar] level collisions dealt no damage. Curious how hard it'd have to hit to hurt, I slammed my head full-force into a rock on tower floor 3, and all that happened was a slight mana dip. My whole body being mana was like constant aura deployment in fantasy or protective qi in wuxia? In game terms, super armor?
Unless combat got intense, it was too early to fully grasp.
"Ugh, so cramped."
Grumbling, I tidied up the room diligently. It was so narrow now I had to squeeze in... no, for my original height, it was space to lie down comfortably. But at my current stature, I couldn't even stretch my legs—filthy cramped.
"Either way, gotta climb the floors."
Higher floors improve the interior layout, they say. Who knows? With my 『Legendary Class』, the tower might scan my job info through me and hook up electricity!!
Of course, if it drained my mana to maintain the house, I might drop dead suddenly, so caution was key.
"Stressing me out...."
The resolve to burn my own house was admirable, but missing VTuber streams due to tower climbing saddened me. My body didn't need sleep, so I could watch overseas VTubers, but that'd leave no time to catch up on leftovers.
"Plus, [Internet Connection] only pops one window. I used to run 9 monitors—can't do this...."
The longer I dragged day by day, the more streams piled up. Falling behind the flow from backlog, worst case: lives get fully edited out, unarchived and gone instantly... If I miss them!
"Not mana depletion killing me. I'll die mentally first!!"
Subs increasing or not, climbing for survival never changes..!
"....Maybe using it multiple times opens multiples?"
Still clinging to hope, I tried [Internet Connection] again, and another window popped up.
"The world really is full of dreams and hope!! Awesome!!"
Timing seemed just right for the collab without missing, so I jumped in immediately. Planning around the schedule, this pace works—sent a memo to the VTuber.... With spare time, finished editing the half-done stream into clips and uploaded to the channel.
View counts skyrocketing scarily, comments outnumbering them sparked curiosity, but I held back.
Today's my fave VTuber's collab! Can't ruin the vibe!!
"Days clipping for my favorite VTubers' popularity.... Yeah, that's not enough...."
Staring at 27 windows before her, Wakamo steeled her resolve.
"I'll... become the Fire Punch...."

"Nice to meet you! Have a great day today too! Queen Merhen Econira!"
Sparkling, dazzling, colorful hues.
A beautiful girl like a personified rainbow beamed, chatting with arriving viewers. Instead of jumping straight into content at start, she warmed up slowly, accommodating latecomers with casual talk about their days and doings.
Subs still around 38k, but as a 3-year vet, her seasoned vibe showed.
Always upbeat energy, gentle voice, and emotive expressions oozing sensitivity—the self-proclaimed Jewel Legion fans loved teasing the ice-queen type they supported. But what truly hooked viewers was her captivating charm.
A talented VTuber who never missed a chance, sticking to her concept!
-Today got song stream too?
-Hey, duel.
-Time for treason! Metric off—inch measurements from now on in this stream!
-But Queen okay? This is gonna blow up?
"Hmm? What's up?"
Head tilt as donos poured in.
She waved them off like "stop sending!", embarrassed, but most were about her collab opponent's fame—the veteran clipper more popular than her. Fresh awake and clueless, she stepped away briefly to check, returning wide-eyed.
"Uh.... How should I take this? Grateful for daily clips of my vods, but... wha.... Real fox god? Not VTuber character?"
-Never said VTuber character, clipper.
-When'd you think I was human?
-Makes sense, acts beastly—turns out actual beast?
-Tried holing up as otaku, but tower dragged you out?
"Uh... n-no, won't come... right?"
Anxious Merhen Econira pressed on: content promised to Jewel Legion, must do! Prepping anyway.
Still, she noted no donos from her usual—always watching her streams, asking clip permission... no, the fox god.
A loyal fan from her 100-sub days! 3-year OG supporter! Her growth owed to those clips!
"Hmm... uh... add state religion to our kingdom?"
-Rainbow Kingdom with fox god? Total vibe.
-Fox god (2m tall) legit kingdom guardian.
-Those skinny arms swinging 200kg? Instant death...
-Different paper tiers hit home.
"Anyway, room made! Jewel Legion, join via my message!"
Resolved to stream her schedule, she nervously messaged the clipper too. Signed up, won spot—polite to invite. Wondering if real... donos flew instantly.
Ding~
[Wakamo Inarizushi donated 10,000 won! Thank you!]
-Queen, clip okay?
"Yes! Of course.... Ah... uh... w-welcome...."
-Queen's energy plummeted.
-Jewel Legion loved her yesterday!
-Nationwide Jewel Legion overnight?
-You're exiled from our asocial world....
-Who clips our Queen's streams now?
-Take her back as ally.
-Lmao
Hot figure famous across Korea crashed the party—chat speed ramped up. Jewel Legion cooed at quaking Queen, but soon sensed wrongness. What she feared.... Viewer count soared.
Usual peak 700 exploded past 2k on rumors, charging 4k.
"N-No! Subs, sub chat block... h-how?!"
-How we know, Queen!
-Jewel Legion getting booted levels?
-Room owner you mad fuck turn on stream![Chat violates rules].
-Wow, chat clipping speed.
-Queen, bring guillotine?
"St-stop it! H-how freeze...?"
3 years streaming, always chat-focused, never stopped—suddenly noob, flailing adorably as donos poured, half furious fan rage at Wakamo.
-No xx!! Collab today!! Why tower climbing!!!

-Beast IQ too.... But newbies...
-Think: millennium fox god knows internet—impressive?
-Effort into clipping? Facecam stream, 10M subs.
Viewers and Merhen Econira now comfy.
27 VTuber streams, donos everywhere, scheduled collab—marveling at hyper-speed loss streak after 3 years knowing, she was floored.
"Th-this level... lift ban, allow strong deck mercy?"
Losses so fast, viewers sighed. Riding 27 streams, masses flooded her room. Curious early-end VTubers too.
-Came!!
-Appeared!!
-Stream on fuck!![Chat violates rules].
-Pls, even edits—turn on pls.
-No mikomiko theme!! VTuber deck trash!!!
-Room owner only runs VTuber theme? Lmao unstoppable.
-Newbies missed stock-buying shareholder madness.
"Uh, w-welcome! Here again.... Uh...."
Glance.
20k viewers. Insane.
Rumors pulled crowds everywhere. English/Japanese chats zipped by—she squeezed eyes shut, overwhelmed. But... fine... promo, right? No missing chances, Queen's talent. Captivate them now.
Make 'em crave more Merhen Econira...!!
[Wakamo Inarizushi donated 10,000 won! Thank you!]
-Sub to Queen become citizen, stream tomorrow. Tempting? Threat.
"Ah"
Chat exploded.
Her trash play meant even 3 turns from Queen, no wincon—victory auto-fed. Worst, Merhen last VTuber. Sub badge, founder mark pinned top—everyone knew she watched, chat blazed.
-Queen, song stream today?
Clueless to Queen's darkening heart. Facing hyped Wakamo comment, Queen decreed salvation.
"Stream ends here today. No stream tomorrow? Guillotine! Remember!"
That day, 27 VTubers' massacre spread gorgeously online. Duel gallery clueless on climbers trashed skills—but captivated viewers subbed up, promo success.
And Queen Merhen Econira, who decreed "stream on", saw massive sub surge.
