Chapter 8

Arrived.

[Status Window]

[Climber: Wakamou Inarizushi]

[Occupation: VTuber]

[Age: 1,000 years]

[Stats]

Mana: 348,569

340,000 mana, 340,000 subscribers!

As a Korean VTuber, it’s a number that’s more than enough to say they’ve proudly entered the upper ranks. An overwhelming subscriber count amassed in just one day of broadcasting, making the time spent as a Clipper seem futile.

“But on the flip side, it’s only 340,000!!”

The language of the Tower Climber can be understood by everyone. Even if spoken in Korean, Japanese or Americans can understand it too. That’s why many have left Korea, isn’t it?

The tremendous advantage of having language be understandable across all worlds without needing to learn them─

On top of that, the unique content of broadcasting the interior while climbing the Tower!

In the battlefield of VTubers who fiercely battle over a single pie in the wilderness with blood spilled, merely having the privilege of a natural advantage without doing anything to earn it─is such a VTuber qualified?!

“A VTuber without the mindset, posture, or resolve!! How can such a person call themselves a VTuber!!”

Acting prickly to the viewers drove them away, and even though VTuber haters came biting after hearing the news─domestic laws protecting the Climber’s personal information meant no one really crossed the line. Moreover, a talented Climber capable of holding the 『Complete Strategy Layer』 was something the government might already be eyeing with anticipation. No idiot would miss it!!

Yes, it’s the ultimate pampering…like a spoiled plant growing in a greenhouse!!

“Please let me be born as a cute girl full of dreams in my next life!!!”

Attempting to hang oneself with a rope, but there was a crack and the tree trunk snapped. The tree, not just a branch, broke.

“Sigh….”

For a man to succeed as a VTuber in this field, it truly required all sorts of talent.

There could be a way into the corporate sector, but that too required tremendous effort and passion toward one’s dreams.

VTubers have a profession where direct meetings with viewers are difficult! Imagining unseen viewers in front of oneself, one speaks alone facing the screen.

But look! Didn’t I already transform into a female body?!

I have no interest in lust, to begin with. Even if I enjoy VTuber ero-neta, I wouldn’t watch ero-videos made by VTubers. Of course, if I made them myself, I’d eat them with gratitude!

Whether in a man’s body or a woman’s body, it makes no difference in watching VTuber Broadcasts!!

But to become a VTuber, being a woman does earn a few more points.

Yes….seizing all sorts of advantages and gaining 300,000 subscribers in the first broadcast, but inside my heart was filled with emptiness, void…and sorrow. I am scared─I am not prepared in my heart to love the viewers like VTubers do!!

I’ve insulted every VTuber out there who buys the equipment, prepares live models with a fortune, prepares content daily, and communicates with the viewers while pursuing dreams and ideals even in poverty. Am I qualified to VTuber?

But I must…the Tower pushed me to do it.

Already, having set foot on the path of Asura.

To flee after doing the first broadcast the next day would be no different than mocking all those who worked hard!!

“I heard across the sea, there’s a Loli God alone equivalent to a VTuber nation’s corporate sector… Her requiem slices through the charts. And she beats up lolicons…”

In only the second day of broadcasting, one must not waver! If it comes to that, it’s better to open donations. With those donations, diligently broadcast, support the VTubers… But what if that becomes too much? How can I balance love and affection?

Suddenly, I was relieved to have become a woman.

Lest I become an insufferable piece of trash pulling off sweet guy buffalo docking!!

“I want to donate but if I give too much, isn’t that problematic too?!”

With hyperventilation, I panted heavily, shaking.

SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1Y2VIUWZiVkQ1UHFPVnhKWjVSVlBpemF4NmFjbU9EeGtsRmFRMGx4TmFheQ

Well, viewers going berserk was something I was used to, having seen all sorts of madmen in the community.

What if they’re mad? Then just don’t watch my broadcast and go to another one?

But what if other VTubers get hurt because they clipped the videos I uploaded on the channel…?

What if they go to other VTubers pleading for them to stream because I didn’t?

“Ahhhh!! God, please!!”

It’d feel like smacking and resuscitating Charon, the Ferryman of Hades, and starting the broadcast urgently.

“A VTuber must set broadcast rules…and what else…? There’s just so much to do….”

Having watched numerous VTuber rules over time, there was plenty of information in my head but my body couldn’t keep up. You’d call it having heaps of useless inner power but never having used martial arts in practice, just read about them―a greenhorn who only ever talks, lacking any real-world experience.

Thinking again, I’ll forever be a maiden, which at least can reassure extreme viewers!

Unicorns are frightening characters… lenient only toward married VTubers….

“There’s no distinction of holidays anyway. Won’t have to hand out cold chicken on Christmas either…”

Slowly! One by one! On reviewing and objectively assessing the scores of one as a VTuber, can I reach an average score on multiple perspectives!? Having once been a man, I understand a man’s heart well. Have watched many VTubers and know community memes hence can chat playing various games.

Of course, it leans more towards a male streamer than a typical VTuber… I didn’t even have the determination to do it as passionately as a bald martial god.

“To seriously do VTubing, I need to study. Theoretical knowledge learned as a Clipper is lacking!!!”

Passing stories of many VTubers. From touching stories to starting from admiration, grasping a second chance after giving up and despair… the glittering and emotional story of an idol debuting as a new idol… but I had none of that.

“….With an overwhelming content of Tower climbing, only this level…. a sad talent… Yeah. Anything that looks easy is that much more difficult. Watching novels on Nobel Pia thinking? I can write too then receiving a bitter 5,700-character critique never to rise again… Communicating in real-time with people as a VTuber must be more arduous..!”

The scenery spread by the Tower, landscapes of imagination not seen in reality. Naturally, people would be enthralled by it, but it’s not captivating enough for them to subscribe and follow my broadcast. Furthermore, the main material I could reveal while climbing the Tower was 【Violence】….It would have been right to get regulated in the past.

Climbers hunting monsters outside the Tower won’t get the channel suspended now as per YouTube’s terms but… it’s still lacking.

By showcasing overwhelming violence and winning one-sidedly for excitement, viewers will be happy but, they may complain when it gets ticklish or doing anything other than Tower climbing like collabs would receive jeers questioning its purpose.

I want to do what I want, but I don’t want it negatively impacting other VTubers.

So ultimately, engaging in battles against countless Monsters as a Climber has to be the focus.

Realistic presence not seen in movies, the allure of Climbers—gaining a fairly stable viewer base might be possible. With this approach, I wouldn’t clash with other VTubers on concept or theme, not taking away their viewers.

Comforted by the thought.

With already scarce domestic VTuber pie, at least convincing myself I won’t be taking even a bite!!

[Platinum Condition at Incheon Tower 4th Floor is achieved and opens to all humanity!!]

[Rewards increase due to Platinum Strategy of Tower]

──And now worrying about the content was for various reasons.

[Please choose one reward]

[Idol’s Flame]

-Expends Mana to create flames.

[Idol’s Thunderbolt]

-Expends Mana to shoot lightning spears.

[Revered God]

-Mana recovery rate increases proportionate to Believers.

[VTuber Asset]

-Same function as 『Virtual Chat』.

-The number of owned assets increases depending on the strategy layer number by [Climber].

-[Registerable Assets 0/1]

Reaching 4th floor and having no attack skills isn’t a good thing.

Though up to the 10th floor, it’s a moderate, easy difficulty, climbing the Tower is battling for life. I had to pick an attack skill now. Because from the 5th floor, actual [Monsters] will start to spawn truly!

“But if selecting counts the floors from now on…?”

Then who on earth holds back 『Legendary Class』! Acquiring it early is beneficial if the count starts with selection!!

[Acquired skill [VTuber Asset]!]

Ended up selecting. However… VTuber without 2D models are utterly unthinkable.

Like attaching a microphone, equipping just arms, or using headbands or sunglasses… assets are one body, and another asset of VTubers… If one can utilize even just one, it’s certainly advantageous and refreshing for a broadcast in danger of becoming monotonous.

“Can I use assets I already own…?”

Thinking about things like the lightsaber occasionally used for exercise in 『Beat Saber』… Daringly put in a handguns asset for fun joking about threatening the chat, expecting it but all was possible. I gained infinite content direction as a VTuber….

Lacking confidence…! As a VTuber…!

Click, click.

[Author: ○○]

[Title: Isn’t Fox Deity Leader broadcasting with their life on the line?]

Our leader who opened (laugh) the brand new ultra-realistic virtual 3D Metaverse Era.

Since they’re actually a Climber, we Believers should be cautious lest a lawsuit arises.

Seriously big honking mommy lady, better be prepared for danger.

Anyway ○○. What we know is, Tower climbing broadcasting is a curiosity but?

In some sense they’re risking their life, right?

Even if the floors are low now, as they climb further won’t it get bloody serious? Is it alright indeed?

A message discovered while clearing the mind through ego search.

“I care not at all!!!”

It spurred the reverse scale of Fox Deity Wakamou Inarizushi!

Streamers suffer from stalkers as well. Even VTubers who hide their identity!

Moreover, when actual red pills are cracked open, it becomes even more fatal. Some target and dig into past matters, sinister people abound. They pour their essence and dance on the razor’s edge of reality, investing time and money on what’s real. They hold dreams and passion. They exhibit their talkative talent and gifts not alone but carrying viewers through the day.

What could it be called but fighting invisibility and infinite combat! Never-ending, harsh battles with their own faltering self!!

Against that!

The murderousness from actual existing monsters, easily beaten to death, is hardly a threat!! Compared to other VTubers, all there is to do is manual labor as a soft single-focus broadcast!!

Once killed and gone, compared to the relentless struggle of self identity and continuation, what could be more burdensome than grappling with oneself?!

A properly scratched Wakamou kicked open the door to the 5th floor.

To keep continuing VTuber broadcasting with cherished, carefully minimal resource consumption.

“Tuut~u Tuu tutu!! Becoming a fantastic VTuber!!”

To become an excellent VTuber fit for one person, my life is on the line!!

Entering this bloody wasteland with such a resolution to tread the path of Asura from the start!!

So, I tried using OpenAI's flagship model, and it's expensive as hell—like 10x more than the regular one. So, how's the translation quality? Please share your thoughts: https://cyborg-tl.com/series/the-fox-god-vtuber-climbing-the-tower/
