Chapter Title: Tower-Climbing Fox God VTuber
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"This isn't the Build Craft I had in mind!!!"
"If you want peace, seize it!! Eat them up and get stronger!!!"
"Why is this so damn hard!!"
"The viewers want dopamine! Asuka did her best to make the stream fun, just as Wakamo requested!!"
"Y-Yeah!! Let's all gather up and try something! I'm scared all by myself!!"
Wakamo clung to Asuka like glue, practically begging through her sobs.
Her screams were so ear-piercingly desperate that you could pinpoint her location just by the sound.
The raw volume stabbing straight into eardrums was shocking enough, but Wakamo's steel vocal cords stayed flawless even after wailing like a siren all day!!
The viewers were just eating up the whole situation.
She usually showed up as an invincible superhuman, beating down every monster in the tower with overwhelming force.
But now, in a mere horror game with some creepy stuff, she was desperately calling for her mommy!
-But is the leader's mom still alive?
-Guy... watch your mouth....
-This could be padrip. Everyone hands off the keyboard!!
-Lightning from the heavens could strike over this.
-lollllll
The believers exchanged light chit-chat about what Wakamo's mom might be like amid the warm vibes, while Wakamo lay sprawled on the floor, howling at the top of her lungs.
"Cry... prove your innocence with your tears..."
"You're not getting revenge for that three-day ban, are you, Asuka?!"
"Asuka doesn't get petty over things like that. She only pursues fun. Yes... that's right. I am a shikigami born from the viewers' desire to love and enjoy the stream!"
-Ah, this is a curse.
-What're the landlords doing? The landlord's right here.
-A spirit born from love for people!!
-What fresh inspiration is this!
-Definitely wants to experience death via Wakamo.
-This kid isn't scared of her owner.
-Setting up for a whipping?
-lmaoooooo
-High performance as expected!!!
"VTubers make big-scale content to make streams fun!! What's wrong with that!!!"
"Uwaaaaaah!!!!"
-Crying like a fallen nation on a gibbet....
-Wailing like Tamamo with her identity busted...
-The sorrow of the black fox discriminated against among white foxes....
-Seimei! Your mom's crying!!
-These dudes' riffs are all off the rails today ffs lollll
-Drag in Vietnam too, they got kumiho there.
-Where does it end lollllll
Unable to argue against Asuka's solid point, Wakamo wept pitifully but, since it was a stream, stuck close to Asuka, sniffling as she tried to play the game.
Wakamo desperately chopped wood to craft a wooden pickaxe, digging into the dirt to flee underground.
Asuka watched warmly as Wakamo trembled in terror yet mustered courage for the VTuber stream.
Then she spotted something approaching and went, "Oh no."
"Wakamo."
"Y-Yeah?"
"One of the horror modes I added for fun includes kidnappings."
"Huh?"
"Right beside you."
Before she could even mouse-turn the screen, something poked Wakamo, and the screen flickered black.
A loading screen announced teleportation somewhere, and before Wakamo unfolded pitch-black darkness.
Humanoid monsters with glowing eyes surrounded her from all sides, charging to kill as a woman's scream echoed, the screen went dark again, a ghost face jumped out, and Wakamo jolted up from her chair.
From the viewers' view, her character in the screen corner ascended to the heavens, head smacking the ceiling and dangling... In a way, pure horror!!
-Mommy got nabbed!!
-Leader!!!!!!
-"Now nothing scares me..."
-Hanging there? Let's play Dokidoki next.
-These bastards are just laughing ffs lollll
-Woo! Pinata time!!
-Sudden chest-jump scare out of nowhere......
-Leader, you didn't actually ascend, right???
-Pirate's streaming right now, and Wakamo leader's head popped out from the floor screaming?
-lmaoooooooooooo
-lmaoooooo
-lmaooooooooooooooo
-"Domain expansion: turn off the game"
The usual chaos of Wakamo Corporation's collab stream.
And this wasn't even a one-day thing—it was their first major long-term content.
Plus, if left alone, the world would get overrun by parasites, leading to the Wakamo server's annihilation in some contrived plot, so they had to fight to reclaim peace.
Beep—!
30 minutes into the stream, showing off the total mess.
Viewers' screens all went dark as text filled the display.
【Wakamo Corporation Massive Long-Term Content】
『Build Craft the Wakamo Server... That peaceful world was invaded by monsters from outer space.』
Wakamo dying in endless scream combos.
Pirate speeding across the ocean on a boat, playing her own game solo.
Ichigo, having built a cozy underground base, pondering at a gun workbench(?).
Asuka somehow operating three characters at once.
Manager Won Da-hye mining ores in a corner, unnoticed despite joining the stream sans her own channel.
『Season 1 begins! The journey to save the Wakamo Server with its 4 members and 1 manager from Generation 0!』
A massive Mother Brain appeared, spewing parasites that infected monsters, villagers, and animals, expanding territory.
Meteor from the darkening sky, aliens pouring out, turning villages to infernos.
Deep in caves, mansions in woods, eyes of creepy forms floating amid pouring rain...
『Wakamo Server Season 1: Alien Invasion.』
Boom—
Drum rolls with majestic BGM swelling.
Viewers just burst out laughing at the sheer absurdity.
Normally, VTuber Build Craft servers would be scouting base sites by now.
Divvying roles to slay in-game evil dragons as a chill healing goal.
But because they're Ascenders doing VTuber stuff?
No bloody brutal fights, no rest? A hellscape unfit for reality unfolded.
Space horror that'd make Lovecraft flee in terror!!
"Kyaaaaah!!!"
Wakamo's gut-wrenching death scream echoed as viewers' screens returned.
A scene showing just how hard Aoi Asuka prepared per Wakamo's request!
"First, building a base is key. We'll construct a shared living space."
Viewers gawked as three Asukas scattered, mining wood, stone, building.
-Why three of you lol??
-And why drag the manager in.
-Turn on her stream!! No mic!!!
-Black company overworking even the black guy lollll
-Climbing Association chief doing Build Craft right?
-Just let viewers join...
"Didn't you watch Hunter x Hunter? Short on manpower, so Asuka Nen'd two extras."
-But why not gorillas.
-Call it shadow clones.
-Kids these days don't knooow~
-Dump everything and build base? What now lolllll
-And beaming around meanwhile lollll
-What's wrong with Ultron beaming?
-Tsk, fair point?
"Day 10 brings the first wave! Prep now or end up like Wakamo."
-Wakamo murdered in the corner, notifications every second.
-Screaming and fleeing non-stop.
-Insta-dead on grab lolllll
-Regen point glitched???
-Why respawn in monster hordes.
"Cuz it's fun."
-Endless malice...
-What'd humans teach this thing.
-Us, probably.
-fml speechless lollll
-At least go rescue her!!!
-True broadcaster hangs her owner for fun...!!
Only viewers pitied Manager Won Da-hye slaving away mining in a corner.
Massive long-term project, so Asuka requested her to fill manpower gaps—who knew it'd be hell?
Yet she fought well pointlessly, pickaxe smashing parasites and aliens alike.
-Pickaxe master what lollll
-She fights insanely well.
-Ma!! Chief didn't rise on stickers!!
-Manager's an Ascender too, ultimate power corp gone mad lollll
-Nation-tier strong lolllll
With three Asukas and the manager's efforts, the base took shape.
Meanwhile, Pirate solo-boating ocean vacations.
-Captain, joining?
"Off to find One Piece."
"Cut the crap and get over here."
-Agreed.
-lollllll
-Asuka poking from beside lollll
-Playing a side game? lolllll
-Why in-game mic then!!
"Jehahaha, where else would the Navy be but the sea? Guarding it!!"
"Quit yapping and come. Also, stream feed's weird."
Asuka questioned Pirate's glitching screen.
Now it lagged too bad to play. Plus, unhideable mouse lightness on every tap...?
Slow responses even when spoken to—Asuka felt ominous and asked.
"Excuse me, alcoholic. How much for your mouse and keyboard?"
"Bought 'em at Daiso for 3k?"
"Arghhh! Urghhhh!!"
Asuka frothed, convulsing like electrocuted.
Overwhelmed by the natural troll's talent that broke high-spec AI, her three characters froze.
"Why's the game lagging!! Asuka optimized it!!"
"Vaccine said virus?"
"Vaccine?????"
"Installed some pills."
"Ugrrrgh! Ogogogoh—!!"
Viewers cracked up at Asuka rolling eyes, twitching.
Money overflowing to excess, yet using cheap PC? Where'd all that cash go? Asuka eyed in horror—please no?
Her supercomputer brain warned against asking, but as VTuber, she had to.
Self-own, trembling in fear as she asked.
"Um... by chance, one earbud not working?"
"One side's fine, right?"
"Earned money... didn't buy a PC...?"
"Ah, spilled booze on the tower. Using old one? Works fine."
"Huhk... huhk... euk... heuk.... kuhk.. kuuuuh...."
Asuka clutched chest, moaning incomprehensible agony.
-Cybernet meltdown incoming.
-Insane human malice.
-Overwhelming killing intent from purity...
-See human IQ driving Ultron mad lolllll
-Machines can't beat humans meme.
-That clueless face when asking is hilarious ffs lolllll
-Finger-chewing replies pure Bingoo.
-Shakambaspis folds to this skull lolllll
"!%@#^!@#^%!@$!@($@$#!!!!!$@(!@%!$!@$"
Asuka lost human speech, spewing machine code.
Crash-bang—Pirate's stream cut; gotta rip open tower and replace.
Burn this trash for purification.
Her deranged rampage screams drowned even Wakamo's wails.
Voices from Wakamo's stream: Pirate and Asuka!
"PC sucks but runs fine! What's wrong!!!"
"VTubers can't do that!!"
"Navy bows not to unfair evil!!!"
"GyaAAAAH!!! That's not Navy!!!"
Flashy blasts echoed—[Skills] clashing?
Wakamo soul-half-gone, staring blankly into space.
-Leader, not dead right..?
-Snap out... get up leader... stream time...
-Just game over screen? Normal?
-Didn't actually die together right? Right?
-Someone CPR. Not breathing...
"Scary alone but not with two! Mei Shaolongbao's here!"
-lollllll
-Unit 2 arrives to save Unit 1.
-Two people doubles the horror no?
-Better than solo lollll
-Make two characters then!!!
"Mekiyaaaaah!!!!!!"
Too scared alone, Wakamo dragged Mei but screams just doubled.
"Mine wood! Dig! No run!! Run!!!!"
"Wabababawa byabyaba ua byaba aaah wutyutyo!!"
"Uwa ua ua woo!! Au woo!! Woo ah!!!"
-How do they communicate?
-Primitive ancient human tongue.
-Came for monkey chatter.
-Regrettably foxes.
-Trying somehow is hilarious.
-Asuka/Pirate streams when lolllllll
Bang bang—!!
Someone downed monsters sieging doomed Wakamo.
Gunfire rang; Ichigo machine-gunning against rising sun backdrop.
-Rescue squad!
-But why guns in Build Craft lollll
-Rocket launcher?? lolllll
"Ichigo to the rescue!"
-Always slaving to save leader... sub....
-Others partying while Ichigo slaved underground....
-Finally lollllll
"Leader! Right here!!"
-World's most useless weapon handoff.
-Sharp semi-auto otherworld judge arrives!
-This chill heavy feel.... thx Ichigo!!
Rat-tat—!
Gun in hand, Wakamo keyboarded, Mei moused, firing away.
Believers wailed "one pattern again?" as blind-fire leader killed Ichigo, dropping loot.
Wakamo snatched gun from Ichigo's corpse, spraying wildly.
"What! What's happening!"
"Uwaa!! Sorry!!"
Sweeping machine-gun Wakamo and apologizing Mei linked up.
Ichigo with massive backpack dumped ores, entering Asuka's base—god knows how many mods.
2 hours post-stream start: Wakamo Corp members united!
Asuka returned exhausted after swapping Pirate's PC to latest, stream normalized.
"But Asuka made all these mods, so she's at fault? My PC's crap ain't my fault?"
-Every word a dagger.
-Street backstab? Blame Asuka, captain.
-Real Ultron not scary??
-She'd break if you tower-smash with booze bottle like she does.
-Alcohol truly invincible lolllll
-Captain, what first thing tho??
"Gotta plant the flag! Check my killer pirate flag! Saw in One Piece. Cool, right?"
-Why navy making pirate flag then flop!!!!
-Others guns/bases, you flag all day???
-Yeah captain... happy's good...
"Asuka said parasites wreck flags on attack!! Get down!!"
Asuka clutched neck as first wave hit, monsters swarming—Pirate making flags?
Useless-shooter Wakamo naturally did civvy work(?), busy with lava traps, spike pits.
Only trusted manager and Ichigo.
Even they turreted(?) defenses on walls for wave 1—yet Pirate flagging the top.
"Our pirate flag won't break!"
"Not our pirates!!"
-Rare machine tackling human.
-Collab always this mess lollll
-Total shitshow lollll
-Chomp chomp! Real swarm incoming captain!!!
-Wo insane creepy shit lollll
-Why install this mod!!!
"You're insane!! Asuka!!!"
-Ichigo pissed!!!
-Seoul recon training right?
-Ascenders hardcore game too...
-Manager pro af meanwhile.
-Build Craft's this kinda game...
-Wakamo private!! Don't aim gun at allies!!
Moonlit night revealed horde numbers.
Asuka's three chars made sense now.
Turrets/traps fortified base, but numbers laughed it off. Flatland build meant all-sides swarm; Ichigo cursed Asuka, spraying bullets.
Manager nailed jumping parasites mid-leap, pro marksman.
Wakamo ditched guns, hammer-out charging, screaming but controls sharpening—dodging, countering, flattening them.
Her frantic screen hid it, but Asuka's view caught Wakamo's flashy encircled beatdown.
-I'm not trapped, you're trapped with me!!!
-Desperation vivid lolllll
-Leader controls peaking ffs lollll
-God descended fr.
-Shikigami toughens owner....
"Those who never climbed risking life don't get this flag!!"
Meanwhile, all fighting desperately.
Pirate yelled atop base, planting pirate flag despite no defense duty.
Chats turning harsh on his antics.
Then a distant shot nailed Pirate, crumbling the top.
Kwaang—
Half-HP damage, blocks collapsing.
But Pirate stood bloodied, flag held firm.
"See? Didn't break."
-lmaooooooooo
-fml lolllllll
-Steals all highlights lolllllll
-Survived??? Tanked????
-How captain ffs!!!!
Pirate tanked it somehow; Asuka facepalmed in awe at the scene.
"I wanted a chill healing server together!!!!"
"Generation 0 guarding the world—Generation 1 watches, moved! That's needed too, Wakamo!!"
"Yeah..!! Sounds cool!"
"Season 2: Zombie Apocalypse."
"Season 2...?"
-lollllll
-Was gonna say AI silver tongue but lollll
-What world has seasonal crises lollll
-Recruiting Gen 1? Hired lollll
-Become Ascender first gay lolllll
-Wakamo despair face lollll
-Mei rolled eyes passed out meanwhile.
"Everyone!! Inside!!"
Wakamo Corp fell back as monsters overwhelmed.
Asuka muttered "more than expected?"—backhead from Pirate.
She endured Pirate's blame game, face grim.
If Pirate flagged less/gunned more, no base breaches—but endured!!
Ichigo's yell: fled inside, trapped.
Walls crumbled, monsters surged; glass shattered, cracks echoed.
Hyper-real sound mods tricked viewers into apocalypse movie vibes.
"Can't hold long!!"
Micless manager headshot incoming via broken glass; Asuka sacrificed two clones as bait, yelling.
Ichigo/Wakamo smashed skulls with melee, but numbers crushed.
Viewers sensed wipe—then engine roar.
Manager's resources, Ichigo's ores, Pirate's squid ink from sea!!
Pirate's ocean fun accidentally helped—inside: one Hummer.
"Mare Pirate!! Launching!!"
Ichigo's wall TNT exploded, blasting outer wall!!
Licensed Pirate floored it; Hummer pierced horde, ejecting outside.
Dodged big mobs nimbly; viewers thrilled at crisp driving.
Drift spin perf, flamethrowers auto-fired roasting monsters.
Vroooom—
Shotgun Wakamo chainsawed mobs; flames trailed as Hummer sped.
Gore flew; blood-and-fire path blazed.
"Straight to Blue House!!"
"Stop that."
Asuka braked—no Seoul recon.
Dawn broke, sun rose afar.
Exhausted crew slumped in Hummer.
Sun-bound shadow-fading Hummer as [Day 10 Survival Success] popped.
"To be continued" ended collab!!
Simple game, but more drained than tower climbs; all collapsed.
Even peak Wakamo no afterparty, stream off.
Asuka "overloaded" headache, needed cold shower, off.
Ichigo's VTuber face fatigue-ridden.
Friends worried but bye, off...
Viewers flocked to Pirate.
"Collab fun!! Afterparty booze stream!!!"
-Why captain never tires?
-What mentality lollll
-Ironman fr lollll
"Asuka gave good PC. High-spec game— Uh"
-Uh?
-Uh? Uh? Uh?
-Captain don't jinx!!
-Screen off!! Off!!!
-Wtf wtf!!
"Spilled booze on tower."
"Go die!!!"
Awkward Pirate voice + eardrum-piercing Asuka scream.
Black screen, Pirate char stood dumbly, then grinned.
"Eh, booze n chatter fine. No issue!"
-All issues!!!!
-Gonna lose it captain lolllll
-Ao real mad troll lollll
-Glad it's VTuber...!! Glad!!
Pirate's booze stream began.
Finale: pissed Asuka bottles Pirate's crown.
No crew called it harsh; Pirate sulked.
She shamelessly "dunno why"—whack again.
