Chapter Title: I Won
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I won.
My stomach felt queasy from chugging too many mana potions.
On top of that, I siphoned off Nansae's mana too... I pretty much used every trick up my sleeve.
To avoid getting played by the filthy tower's wicked schemes.
Rather than leaning on the "item" the tower handed me, with Wakamo's own pure strength.
...I overcame it... I won.
And the thought that hit me was that even such a brutishly strong bastard is still bound by matchups.
Remembering the conclusion that I couldn't beat [Engineer] either sent a chill down my spine for no reason.
It's just a bit of a disadvantage between climbers.
But the pecking order between Legendary classes—why is it so damn clear?
Even if [Shooter] and [Fighter] threw down, a Fighter who's climbed higher could swat away bullets.
For climbers, how high you've climbed is basically the horizon of your power.
Legendary classes aren't tied down much by that stuff, so maybe that's why this hits harder?
"Give me the rewards!!"
I could already picture the viewers losing their minds, dying to know what rewards they'd get.
What the hell does the tower want from Wakamo, dumping one unbearable trial after another?
Whatever. I've gotta go watch the comeback stream!! Hurry up with the rewards!! Let me clock out!!!
Seeing Wakamo fretting over nothing, living simpler than a monkey might—no worries, pure bliss—the tower's feelings must be all twisted up in knots, right? This bitch just loves being a VTuber...
Watching VTuber streams gone ice-cold from absence, cramming a full day's worth at 12x speed, lightning up perception with [Idol's Storm] in this idiotic brute-force hack—what can you expect from a guy like that?
[Idol's Body] creates the ultimate state where even the brain feels no fatigue, making this loophole possible.
Of course, the tower never dreamed this bitch would grind like that and hit body acceleration levels.
A normal person with two bodies would freak out, limbs tangling everywhere. But this guy, who's multitasked hardcore his whole life, splits it right down the middle.
Thanks to that, Wakamo ended up grasping an enlightenment at the tail end of her fight with Daji.
[Acquired skill [Triple Brain Combat 三腦互搏]!]
"Huh?"
[Triple Brain Combat 三腦互搏]
- Divides the mind and thoughts.
- Three bodies clash beyond mere hands.
- The pinnacle of trisecting the heart.
Wakamo, snagging yet another skill all on her own before the rewards even dropped.
Wielding different martial arts per hand? Piece of cake for the current Wakamo.
Now it's beyond that—three bodies judging, thinking, coordinating, and moving in sync.
Smoother flow, you could say?
And with the battle-end alert, the set skill from [Daji's Earrings], [Investiture of the Gods], finally wrapped up.
Possessing the [Incarnation of the Millennium-Old Nine-Tailed Fox] or whatever... area-wide charm works great, but honestly, no real spot for it, though sharing skills with the user? Gold.
Mana's separate, matching Wakamo's own pool—total relief. Otherwise? Catastrophe city.
Staring at that absurd [Cooldown: 100 days], Wakamo sighed, praying like Nansae she wouldn't get cooldown-strung.
'So when do I get the rewards?'
Dragging out the settlement forever? Waiting's gonna cause drama.
[Incheon Tower Floor 50 achieves Platinum conditions, opening to all humanity!!]
[Tower Platinum clear boosts rewards.]
[South Korea Incheon 100-Floor Tower adds the zone 『Wakamo Inarizushi Floor 1』!]
[This floor combines all zones from Floors 1 to 50 into a new environment. Composed of 5,000㎢.]
[Cheers to Climber Wakamo Inarizushi's future climbs of Incheon 100-Floor Tower!]
[To honor Climber Wakamo Inarizushi, 『Wakamo Inarizushi Floor 1』 persists even if the tower collapses or the climber dies!]
[Job-exclusive skill 【Open World】 entry conditions remove distance limits! Approved believers enter anywhere like [Tower Entry]!]
"What...?"
This was kinda mind-blowing. So even in China or Japan, enter [Wakamo Floor 1] like [Tower Entry] and bail back home? Looks like the usual full-Korea alert, so outside's gotta be chaos.
No more Incheon-only entry? Convenience skyrockets... Gotta consult the manager, slap on restrictions. Wait, I've dumped so much authority already—Climber Association handles it?
'But 5,000㎢... half of Gyeonggi Province's size, right...?'
Wakamo couldn't even imagine the sheer vastness.
How many residents could it house?
[Climber gains 100 additional stat points.]
[[My Worlds] skill upgrades to [Large Territory].]
[[Mana Manipulation] skill adds [Mana Efficiency Boost] function.]
[[VTuber Assets] gains 2 more registerable assets.]
[[Video Recording] skill adds [Extra Camera Summon] function.]
[[Idol's Body] skill adds [Extra Clone Creation] function.]
[[VTuber Model] gains more registerable models.]
[Climber [Wakamo Inarizushi] gains 1 [Tower Climb Ticket].]
[Climber [Wakamo Inarizushi]'s mana limit partially lifts.]
"What?! For real?"
[Status Window]
[Climber: Wakamo Inarizushi]
[Job: VTuber]
[Age: 1,000 years]
[Stats]
Mana: 1,500,000
Idol's Lion: 1,750,000
[Additional Stats: 101]
[Faith: 82]
"For real!!!"
Mana limit nearly doubled. 1.5 million... plenty of breathing room now. Those grueling days twisting my body with a measly 700k(?) mana felt rewarded.
Rewards are overflowing—shocking.
Upgrading skills all at once like this... Rewards always deliver.
Minus the extra [Tower Climb Ticket], though.
[Choose 5 rewards.]
[Idol's Thunderbolt]
-Consumes held mana to fire a lightning spear.
[Idol's Tidal Wave]

.....
.....
"That's a damn receipt...."
Below it, [Blessings] and [Companion Buffs] piled so high Wakamo rubbed her bleary eyes.
Too many...... Pick 5 from this...? Skills first, obviously.
[Acquired job-exclusive skill 【Happy Broadcast】!]
"Now just 4 more."
Wakamo snatched the first eye-catching skill without a second thought. More options existed, but she didn't know.
Wakamo only knows VTubing.
But this girl shone solo!! (Never shone).
"Anyway... post-50 is joint raid floors, right?"
[Acquired skill [Idol's Shelter]!]
Buffing believers by floor level—how's that different from Broadcast Points blessings? Whatever, Wakamo treasured her VTuber comrades above all, so buff skill it was.
...Come to think, only buff skill listed?
Been lurking from the start, peeking in?
Skills staring at Wakamo all sulky? Nah, imagination.
....Wait, does this apply to me too...? Grabbed it too late in the flow?
First in the buff skill tree—what now...?
"Tower, you fucking bastard....!!"
Tower got slapped outta nowhere. If it could talk: "You didn't pick it, bitch..."—snarky comeback, right?
[Acquired skill [Idol's Ore]!]
[Acquired skill [Idol's Earth]!]
[Acquired skill [Job-exclusive skill 【Holoport】]!]
Ore as counter to [Mana Burn]? Earth accelerates plant growth—new China gov begged for Rain Dance 'cause farms suck, so useful?
Finally, [Holoport]...
Daji freaked when Wakamo agonized over [Job-exclusive skill 【Virtual World】] and deployed a domain in panic, forcing the pick.
One look at registered worlds: sadness overflow.
Look at this crap?
-[Registerable Worlds 1/1]
[Storm-ravaged hell of darkness-shrouded skies, blood pools littered with skulls everywhere.]
Even slapped on Wakamo's instant reaction—world name's straight nightmare fuel.
This ain't the Virtual World I dreamed of...!! Cuter, happier...
Fuck!! My outdoor concert venue dream!!!!!
Domain-internal movement, VR-like probably—brushed it off.
First mobility skill ever, kinda?
[To climb to Floor 51, conquer a tower achievement required.]
Flinch.
"What?"
Beyond mana limits, tower booted Wakamo outside with a "conquer a whole tower peak" clause.
Dazed on Incheon streets, Wakamo blinked, piecing together the sitch.
Then shrugged—pointless to dwell—off to comeback stream.
Rage, bitch, ponder... all after VTuber time!!! No rush!!!
After, comeback stream blissed her out so hard she grinned like Binggu, seal-clapping clips galore.
"What else ya gonna do?" she shrugged.
This kid? VTubers are her world #1.
※※※
Wakamo tossed editing vids mid-comeback stream, vowing to rewatch retirement too—all-day VTuber binge.
Live records stuck around, and 100k+ peak viewers meant believers caught the epic—rabid fox frenzy.
Knew Wakamo ain't human, but body chunks regenerating? First for them.
Flip side: Wakamo cornered, no hiding it—Daji's overwhelming might hammered home tower terror.
Fake cuz tower imaged from Wakamo's memories? Sure.
Some believers: "Wakamo = Daji, so peak-era Wakamo, right(?)"

But as always, things never go Wakamo's way.

Thanks to friends for the abuse so far.
