The last descendant of the Han imperial dynasty reborn as the Incheon Yoo clan.

-Isn't this the Suicide Squad lololol
-Shouldn't this be from Italy?
-Looks like the Russian Secretary-General.
-Doesn't this require analyzing international relations?
-Legendary classes, at least 3 in one group...
ㄴIsn't it 4?

[Title: Let's Learn About Adelheid von Bismarck]
Let's learn about our "artist" who came from Germany.
This girl's skills are public worldwide—a laughingstock punchline.
To climb the tower, you gotta kill monsters, but she can't kill 'em no matter the method.
Even [burying them alive by digging with a shovel]—if Adelheid did it, they wouldn't die even buried lololol.
It's utterly ridiculous, but in a way, it's proof of the tower's mysteries itself.
Ignores all physics and common sense—that's her thing.
Germany sponsored her hard for a year, but she's total trash, so the country sued lololol.
England's [Holy Swordmaster], France-born [Artist], Poland's [Driver], etc....
Neighboring countries pop Legendary classes and thrive.
How embarrassing must it have been? They straight-up erased her existence.
In the end, the promising artist got her life ruined by the tower and diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer stage 2.
She sold her art to pay off some debt, but still owed over 100 million—Wakamo's president recruited her and paid it off, apparently.
At this point, you're wondering if they can even raise her, but Wakamo's leader pulled it off ㅇㅇ... She's cleared floor 10 now.
You all know tower climbers dying to cancer is super rare.
Anyway, Adelheid's a pitiful modern Van Gogh—disowned by her parents.
Asked Asuka, and she said she's become a devoted follower loyal to Wakamo...
-Why brainwash? Just make their heart and soul follow truly.
-Ah... my mine Fuhrer.... You're here...
-My soul, my light, my life, my love... Wakamo...
-Leader's got insane talent spotting lololol
-The Architect introduced her, apparently? Non-combat Legendary classes share contacts?
-There's a fox goddess reaching out to the world's rejects...
-In that spirit, show us your feet...
-But dude, isn't this a red pill reference?
ㄴAh.
ㄴDidn't go far, gay lololol
ㄴSpreading red pills so naturally now lolololol
ㄴLeader, time for human sacrifice~
ㄴWakamo-nim!! Sending one up!!
Wakamo Corporation.
South Korea's largest VTuber company, renowned nationwide.
Currently boasts two Legendary class climbers, making it the undisputed top among Korean climber companies(?).
With support from the Climber Association and government, no one dares oppose it.
On the contrary, Wakamo Corporation sponsors climber guilds to keep society running smoothly, pursuing coexistence—no real rivals.
Plus, President Wakamo's power is beyond human comprehension—no one wants to piss her off.
Such was the president's dilemma: with a top-tier pink orca VTuber from Germany and an automaton, how to highlight Adelheid... no, [Adolf Lucia]'s charm?
She runs the VTuber company sincerely, boldly investing in whatever her VTubers want to do—that's her biggest trait.
Aiming for the ideal idol VTuber form, but Wakamo never forces it or asks for it.
She screams "My ideal VTuber is this!" without saying it—everyone knows, but if they force it noticing, Wakamo would firmly tell them to stop.
She's already warned Pilot and Asuka not to.
Lucia obsesses over it to the point of self-destruction, so Wakamo told her 37 times to do pure, heartfelt broadcasts she truly wants.
Mei Shaolongbao got told 159 times, but Wakamo's words convinced her faster.
"Sounds great anytime!"
While editing and planning schedules, Wakamo played Ichigo's songs on playlist repeat.
Ichigo's debut album [Giggle Bloom]. Follow-up rock-feel [Heaven and Earth Reversal] album 2.
And the latest [Playing in Faith, Hope, and Love]!!
The romance indie music features members centered on Ichigo eating, prepping streams, daily life—huge praise from fanbase "friends."
Album 2 got flak for cute voice mismatching rock, good video but meh song.
Analyzing her fitting genres, boldly challenging many—recently gifted Three Kingdoms games by friends, recommendations pouring in, she's grinding hard.
The only member growing into Wakamo's ideal VTuber through effort. Consistent daily grind earns tons of fan love, cafe posts galore.
For fans, time to prep her third mengen... membership stream soon.
Instead of Seoul reclamation, maybe something else? Wakamo checked Japan for tower collapse damage.
Community occasionally asks if other VTubers do special membership streams.
Asuka does 24/7 streams on two accounts... somehow separate membership ASMR.
As a non-human, no shame—does any request. Learns data for pro skills, no props needed, voice-only techniques humans can't match, captivating fans.
Pilot's... usual anime/movie watchalongs, chit-chat, "nitpicking" with viewers.
Lately, beyond booze talk, into cars—made car board in cafe, races games, car topics.
Kinda flopped—chat showed crew all passed out.
Failures happen...
"Sigh... Don't wanna force sequential debuts for gen 1..."
Normal companies interview, prep, debut all at once or over days.
Referencing tons of VTuber companies, Wakamo considered fixed-team like underworld idols.
But natural growth led to greed, more headaches.
In an era with neo-Nazi eugenics pessimist anti-tech human-sacrifice honor Aryan rabbit VTubers, one failed German art school applicant is fine.
Worst case, bundle with Mei Shaolongbao for gen 1 debut.
Running Wakamo and Mei simultaneously for streams is too hard. Even practicing busily, editing while Mei drools staring blankly mid-thought.
Worried if Adelheid's on drugs...
"Marijuana's legal in Germany! Want a joint? Ehehhe... Drugs inspire art...! But relying on cheap drugs is for baguette scum!! Adelheid's art... beauty... is clear mind! Love for Wakamo-nim!! And—"
Oops, bad connection.
Adelheid seems good at solo screen-talking, at least.
Blinking eyes, cycle short but—maybe try [Seoul Reclamation]?
Mapo-gu, Seodaemun-gu, Jongno-gu.
Clear these three, government and association handle the rest.
Aim for Seodaemun-gu this time.
Lost capital with tower emergence. Climbers and forces barely restored to here over 10 years.
Precisely: conquer tower, form association to manage climbers—took 10 years for national stability.
Early on, forced climber conscription and oppression drove them abroad. Now, thanks to Wakamo stabilizing Korea, returnees emerge.
Most citizens curse them as traitors abandoning country—can't return. But they're human first; risking life scares everyone.
Thinking that, they seem chill despite constant life-risk.
Silly to ponder now... Wakamo Inarizushi just needs to VTuber stream.
Climbing tower makes you VTuber? No—being VTuber makes you climb!!
Contact manager for Seoul op prep... ah, on leave.
German gov expected nothing from "useless trash" climber.
Legendary class makes it tough.
Heard they tried everything for a year post-awakening; foreign approaches, even [Six Freaks] came—she said world's tried and failed.
Tough she survived this long.
Only praise for her persistent life-effort.
Wakamo Corp essentially picked up a broken-bodied, debt-ridden, negative-value failed artist—nothing special.
They must be shocked seeing Wakamo climb her to 10.
If consciences, Germans won't demand return. Parents disowned.
Engineer overinvest led to [Six Freaks], can't ditch for national power vs. others—pitiable nation clinging to climber.
Not bad.
Tower era: infinite resources.
Climbers = irreplaceable top human resources.
More = stronger nation; one special flips eval instantly.
Pre-Wakamo, Korea discriminated climbers—bottom-tier rights hellhole.
Now East Asia union core, proves climber influence.
One well-raised climber flips everything!!
Wakamo shakes world politics, climber treatment skyrockets.
Thanks, stocks pay nice.
"No need to earn via this, but habit..."
Anyway, invest earnings in Adelheid awhile.
Buying art supplies she begs for—worry if all art tools okay.
"Guess I'll climb too?"
Schedules set, edits done, plans aligned.
Wakamo sips Adelheid-brewed coffee via Mei Shaolongbao, stretches hard.
Can't feel refreshed, just habit.
"Jump on entry—manners!"
※※※
"Pilot was on skipping school. City's nice. Rural me would've met bears."
Wakamo turns stream, hypes Pilot's skip story for believers—fun, watch!
-Tigers are the least worry.
-Leader's build runs from bears??
-Did "school" exist in leader's childhood?
-Boring tribe kid-teaching days...
-Learning from Queen Mother of the West? lol
-Volcano founder hopped walls often...
"No, bears usually kill. Hard to run."
-Lightning speed can't escape?
-Asia bears speedsters huh.
-Heard fast, but faster than lightning...
-No wonder game bear cubs OP lololol
-Strong bears killed for training, weak survive.
-Ones fleeing leader survived.
-Bears wary of humans first now!
-Long time no mountains—retrain bears?
"Don't bully rural folk too much?"
-Rural (ancient)
-You punks!! Don't mock ancestors!!
-Maybe older than nation's founder by Hongik Ingan.
-Hurts...
"Okay, how's this climb~~"
Honestly, wish less tough.
Viewer-participation skill nice, but.
Daily harder, tower collapse threats—Wakamo exhausted.
But great power, great responsibility, right?
Shaking fear, Wakamo steps to next floor boldly.

Pfooooosh!!!
Massive humanoid forms gather in air.
Wakamo realizes ghosts/spirits, leaps back, confronts.
Flicks finger, fires [Idol's Flame]—passes through untargetable, explodes wrong spot.
-What the??
-Dunno?
Believers clueless; Wakamo urgently searches net.
South Africa tower monster: possesses allies, drives mad, suicides—wraith type.
Non-specialized skills? Physical useless on ghosts.
Magic? Warnings, South Africa guilds sell talisman weapons for pay—links.
So, party possessor makes climbers fight.
Research: even tower collapse, stays in; possession doesn't eject.
Horror for Wakamo.
Explicit "body-snatcher," tested on climbers?
Africa climber rights worry big.
"Asuka!!"
Summons Asuka for [Shamanism], but no show—frowns.
Priority: ASMR membership stream.
Yeah, mid-membership—rude to pull!
No escape, lightning/fire/mana attacks no damage—smoke form finally possesses Mei.
Planned endure til stream end, but tight space—pulls meat shield.
Ghost enters; Mei eyes roll, shakes.
Wonder what control does—Wakamo interferes lightly.
Zap!
[Incheon Tower Floor 44 achieves Platinum, opens to all humanity!!]
[Tower Platinum clear boosts rewards]
[Climber gains +10 ability points]
"Uh... huh...?"
Pre-seizure Mei normalizes instantly at Wakamo's mind intervene, blinks.
Wakamo recalls "bug-squish" disgust concentrating to control Mei.
Why? Principle?
[Choose 1 Reward]
[Idol's Light]
-Compresses mana into physical-force light shot.

-Shapes mana into mineral form.
[Idol's Substance]
-Shapes body into form.
-Mana cost up in this state.

Baffling... scratches head; Mei possessed, Wakamo intervene kills monster? Logic?
Wakamo-type: unknown principle = sleepless agony.
Now sleepless body—days of worry ahead.
Thud—
"Ah."
[Acquired skill [Idol's Substance]!]
"Sigh..."
Good stream off.
Un-Wakamo-like arms-cross ponder, accidentally picks wrong reward.
Irreversible. Body to form.
Form = insubstantial illusion? Freely changeable...?
Test: no change feel.
Ponders heading next door—body phases through.
Shock short. Picks floor stone—hand through.
"Huh...?"
With prior [Projection Setting], ghost-move...?
Invisible, wall-phasing ghost?
"..."
Nah, stealth skill useless for VTuber stream.
Stream off still chatty = VTuber!! Tower insulting VTubers? Invisible VTuber??
World has bonsai-body VTubers!! Transparent human wears clothes!!
"Sigh."
Cancel skills, step next.
Mental attacks... first time?
"Waaah!!!"
Camera on: Wakamo by huge riverbank screams spotting something.
Nude woman flaunts massive chest, curvy waist, huge hips/thighs—seductive dance!
Charming smile woman on river tempts Wakamo.
-pffffff
-lololololol
-Wow!! Royal slide!!!
-Assassin targeting Wakamo stream lololol
-Tower!! Such cowardly means!!!!
-Deadliest weapon attack ffs lololol
Quick VTuber asset [Light] block, but 0.2-0.1sec exposure? Worry creeps.
Bad luck: days ban. Worst: eternal ban loser.
Dragon 30min pressure unknown terror shake.
Stream ban??!! Tower you bastard!!! Assassinating me externally via policy?!
Wakamo too strong, targets stream outside... evil plot!!
Luckily, NerfTube admins merciful—no mid-stream termination.
Never expected nude woman pop...

-Persuasive!!
"Sigh."
Heavy sigh for believers, approaches—no charm, stares eyes.
Closes in; thinks charmed, grabs hand pulls to river.
Wakamo unmoving.
El Nadaha puzzled look back.
Wakamo punches face.
Neck snaps back, wobbles, pops like water balloon, melts into river gone.
'...Am I registered [Male] in tower...?'
Female climbers need party to see her—Wakamo saw solo chill.
Still why no mind control/charm?
[Idol's Substance] prob, but know principle for peace.
Plus one worry unsolved, now another.
'Tower never reveals gender. Better Wakamo male undiscovered.'
Any slim chance bad.
Male acting female VTuber... should've boasted "virtual meat" body male!
Damn, total scum deceiving believers.
No press conf "rewards for climbs."
'Won't get caught?'
Trivial gender leak unlikely.
No charm anyway—no suspicion!
"Not charmed by real women, not VTuber. I'm otaku."
