[Title: Let’s Check Our Leader’s [Dark Ring] Record]

(Photo of a [Dark Ring] broadcast lasting 18 hours)

(Photo of a record showing an additional 7 hours of gameplay)

A paradox where a day has 25 hours!

Persistence in not giving up even after defeat!

(Meme of crying, saying “Waaah!”)

From today, the fox is crying “waah waah,” no objections.

Knows a lot but just can’t execute it.

Honestly the worst streamer I’ve ever seen.

– Even our pig leader wasn’t this bad.

– Even in our industry, reaching the tenacity of Taesan is hard, but this is…

– Lastly, wearing full armor, what’s that all about? LOL

ㄴIt’s called the beast’s learning.

ㄴAh, this is armor. It even blocks the beast’s claws.

ㄴBut can’t block the [Tree Guardian]’s club, right?

ㄴI could block it!! (Fact)

– Can you see how weak humans are, leader? LOL

[Title: Incheon Tower’s 9th Layer [Corn Collector] Update from Yesterday]

(Animated clip of the Fox Deity exchanging moves with an Orc Fighter)

(Clip of getting countered and slammed upside down after launching an attack)

Looks like a fight between a kid and an adult if you look closely.

The leader’s height is 240 cm. Can’t you see the Orc Fighter desperately reaching up?

Look at the leader’s thighs, almost bursting; they get up using only toe strength while lying down.

The core’s on a whole other level; the aerial maneuvers are insane.

Never thought I’d see something I’ve only seen in superhero movies in real life.

– Is that the Alchemist with the broken nose?

– Ah, the bed-wetter joins us…

ㄴWth, you think I chose to be this way?

– But the height difference is absurdly overwhelming, damn LOL

– That big and heavy but moves so nimbly? Does it make sense?

ㄴBuddy, it’s all muscles…

– How much compressed muscle would be in that slender arm?

– Not a water balloon, but a rock??

– Get in between, you might get compressed like by a press machine.

– Still, I’d like to be caught between those thighs.

[Title: Are you guys aware your leader just issued a declaration? LOL]

(Meme of the Fox Deity crying “Waaah!”)

Challenged the Elderly Dragon of Eunpyeong District but got completely owned 3-0.

“Hey! That’s not how you play Iori!” and then they pulled a full combo, thought they were some kind of pro.

After getting owned there, they recklessly went for Yangjeongdong’s Crazy Iron King like they had a broken head.

Claimed they went to fetch hamburgers but got beaten to a pulp there too.

“I have sharp eyes, so I’m confident!” they said, but really only good at defending.

Reminded me of my school days when I got cornered and beaten up in the bathroom, so good at defending.

Just blocking and getting beaten up, felt a pang of emotion and my eyes got teary…

Even in the neighboring district, they joined a rhythm game by the Pigeon Rhythmist and were terribly bad, thought it was intentional trolling.

– Why did you become the neighborhood punching bag, Fox Deity!!

– Seriously, they block well and seem to be observing with their eyes?

– Only looking but body can’t keep up…

– Painfully pathetic to watch. Block like a pro but nothing else.

– Just play shooting games, leader, brings tears to my eyes…

ㄴThey joined Throwing Challenge Shooting game too…

ㄴHow was it…?

ㄴReally good at dodging everything but only that…

– Can’t be good at everything, huh.

– Our leader chose well to become a VTuber.

[Title: Let’s Review Our Leader’s Quotes on the 4th Day of Streaming]

“Got it!” (Doesn’t know)

“Dodged it!” (Didn’t dodge)

“I rolled, right?!” (Didn’t roll)

“I know all the patterns, it comes diagonally here!” (Gets hit and dies)

“From now, I’ll be serious” (Gets beaten for 3 hours)

“Giving it my all!!” (Gets beaten for 6 hours)

“I don’t care what it takes! I’ll kill you!!!” (Gets beaten for 17 hours)

“Waaah!!!”

“I have good eyesight, okay?” (Only has good eyesight)

“I’ve watched so many game streams! I’m confident!” (Watched a lot)

“You just dodge if you see it” (Only dodges)

– Just full of gems…

– Never seen someone this bad at games before…

– Glad our leader’s a beast, no parents…

ㄴLook at you crossing the line with the parent jokes damn LOL

ㄴFox Deity’s parents must be so warm….

ㄴAre there only crazy bastards, damn.

– Poor at games, but their focus and persistence is amusing LOL

– Seeing leader in distress with their ears dropping and tearing up releases dopamine LOL

– Grabbing both cuteness and charisma, crazy ambition.

[Author: VTubers get lost]

[Title: Seriously, Isn’t There Some Controversy Despite Everyone Having Fun?]

Cursed so much while dealing with stocks and crypto.

I mean, calling themselves the Fox and saying they’re a Climber doesn’t warrant hating on them.

Even in [Legendary League], it’s a beast’s world, so it’s okay, I guess.

– Why is that okay though? LOL Leader curses a lot.

– There’s a reason for the cursing though.

ㄴYeah? What is it?

ㄴFirst off, leader doesn’t specifically curse VTubers or anything ㅇㅇ.

ㄴStill, wasn’t it cursing?

ㄴThere’s a person who earned 20 billion in investments he mentioned, and many were mad for not investing when told.

ㄴNo wonder they called leader an idiot LOL

ㄴDamn LOL

ㄴIt’s the fault of those who didn’t listen when he was trying to help believers earn money.

– Rumor has it that the fan cafe manager is the 20 billion believer LOL

– LOL should really worship him like a god for earning that much LOL

– But he really is a god, right?

– More like listening idiots for not heeding the advice.

– Were they expecting to listen to get scolded?

– Ah! They must have been sneakier ones!

– But having curse words in your nickname and accusing the leader of hypocrisy is ironic LOL

The community was lively today as well. Thanks to viewers embarking on a VTuber pilgrimage following the leader, popping up in every host stream without starting a stream themselves, there was never a dull moment.

It’s always the same when you ask “Did the leader win anywhere?” only to hear them say they lost again.

Everyone laughed at being called a noob who never won a duel against the Queen, but they were truly dirtyly bad at the point of being pathetic.

Believers speculated that knowing too much from watching other VTuber streams might be the reason for being worse… Whether it’s fighting games or shooting games, they seem to defend or evade well based on the opponent’s moves.

Just can’t play well.

Incomprehensibly poor gaming skills, possibly a lack of innate talent.

– Moreover, they’re scared of zombies and ghosts. Aren’t they unable to clear [Dark Ring] in the first place?

Then the video where Fox Deity hosted VTubers in the past started resurfacing. Seeing the monstrous creatures and screaming more fiercely than the VTubers themselves, believers burst into laughter watching Wakamou’s reactions.

New believers began finding and pestering old believers, demanding videos. The believers simply replied that it’s their fault for not watching earlier, refusing to share their treasured contents with late newcomers. Some even started browsing through the first articles on fan sites, scraping the site clean.

The video of Fox Deity sobbing sorrowfully during emotional game highlights got mixed with VTuber’s similar sob moments. Believers admired Fox Deity’s editing dedication, crying in sync with VTuber’s tears, showcasing a commendable side of Wakamou.

Our leader’s sensitivity is indeed excessive.

Fox Deity not just engages, but fully immerses themselves in VTubers’ stories, concepts, and passions, closely reflecting Wakamou’s extreme sensitivity.

Terrified of ghosts, screaming at the predictable appearances, Fox Deity let out chick-like cries, and at the familiar highlight scenes, tears streamed down. Even the game’s OST triggered sniffles and a wavering voice from beyond the screen.

These facets were the Fox Deity’s charm mesmerizing believers… though Wakamou was contemplating if such a fearful and tearful man would be a disadvantage.

Being a woman now, it didn’t matter… Particularly, being a man wasn’t a disadvantage.

Audience teasing became playful banter, making interactions enjoyable.

Audiences admired impactful reactions from streamers after all. Of course, some may find it unpleasant when it’s too much.

Dopamine addicts adored Fox Deity’s pain-stricken cries and child-like sobbing.

Debates about the rough speech during editing or stock talks emerged, but primarily, it boiled down to believers who missed earning up to 200 billion due to inaction being at fault, as per the leader’s earlier guidance.

As a comet-like new presence on the internet, the VTuber Fox Deity Wakamou Inarizushi.

The complaint of believers about not streaming while joining host streams nonetheless echoed against establishing a VTuber promotion board, spiritedly promoting their favorites.

Wakamou expressed gratitude for recommendations in visiting the promoted streams, leading to a minor incident of a believer getting castigated with stones.

On a typically peaceful day, during the 5th day of broadcast, as Wakamou seamlessly brushed through various casual chats and games, they informed viewers of preparing meticulously for ascending the [10th Floor].

Most believers were convinced.

Despite insisting on a new-age metaverse virtual reality tower ascension(?), no believers truly believed in it as a VTuber broadcast.

On the [10th Floor], [Large Monsters] appear.

Receiving prior climber assistance or guild support and securing safety before strategizing was best, leading believers to exchange opinions on Fox Deity’s probable course of action.

During this time, a believer suddenly recalled and asked a question.

– Fox Deity announced their participation in the AnimaMinusShop Korea-exclusive Virtual Live Collaboration. Are they really coming?

Being exclusive to Korea, it incited such fervor that Japanese fans planning a trip to Korea were inclined to visit in conjunction with this major event.

Of course, only VTuber fans gathered… A VTuber collaboration event boasting over 2 million subscribers would generate considerable turnout if even a fraction attended.

A VTuber who longed to participate in this was pondering over it.

Hoping to survive and join the festival coming the next year. The collaboration was said to open next year too─Yet, the schedule abrupt advance was unexpected.

Could the emergence of 9 [Complete Strategy Layers] be the reason? Wakamou wasn’t overly concerned. The sooner, the better.

Yet, the problem lay in finding a way there.

The newly acquired [Idol Form] turned out as anticipated: merely displaying [Illusions]. Like inflating one’s size, just an illusion.

However, clothing or disguise seemed feasible with it. The issue was that shrinking smaller than the current stature was challenging.

“I’ll have to boldly insist it’s cosplay…”

Having prepared for this eventuality.

While scrutinizing the mirror, pondering inconspicuous attire, deliberate attempts were made to modify appearance using [Idol Form] due to the burden from [Mana Manipulation]. Multiple tries yielded attire that barely avoided attracting attention.

10 out of 10—the best level out of them all.

“Need to buy a hat on the way too”

“Vtuber, they respect the red pill, so it’ll work out somehow”

Really anticipating the collaboration and a bit lacking in intelligence, Wakamou.

Even the immortal across the sea came to the collaboration café unabashedly, right? Is it any different for oneself…? Not getting caught is key. Claim they hardly saw a fox; it’ll work somehow!

Determinedly bracing themselves, Wakamou navigated to the front of Incheon Tower, blending naturally among the crowd.

Instead of buying a hat, they concealed one with [Idol Form], later acquiring one from a nearby store to wear.

Sporting a trench coat and buttoned maxi dress. Matching the long, exposed legs were black shoes, chosen meticulously from fashion magazines to match the VTuber’s appearance.

Wondering if they weren’t essentially naked? Dismissing such concerns, a decent hat secured, Wakamou sauntered down the streets.

They did nothing wrong! Assert a fearless stance and face any challenge head-on!!

“It’s been forever since I last came out. Guess I’ll stock up on Coke to take back home?”

No need for coffee when you don’t feel tired.

Taking a sigh over the smartphone’s battery precarious state, saved despite burning the house down, a visit to a PC room crossed their mind. However, the noticeable height disparity wasn’t just at head level but trunk level amidst people, drawing natural attention.

The principle of respecting human rights and honoring identity seemed lost as intrusive individuals wielding cameras appeared, inciting a reflexive sigh.

They regarded Wakamou as a lion escaped from a zoo!!

“Hmm…?”

With a roaring engine noise, mistaken for a bus, a massive container truck barreled down the road. Marveling at the oversized truck, something typical only in America, and feeling the collective attention shift elsewhere, Wakamou promptly headed toward the collaboration venue.

Dubbed Otaku Road, the multitude heading the same way made getting lost unlikely.

Some individuals were trailing Wakamou, likely due to their size, but they paid no mind.

Resolving to outright ignore anyone approaching, Wakamou confidently lined up among the crowd.

‘Wow, Kids YouTuber Peko Yama Hoodie. Could the mom have made it by hand?’

A cute bunny-hooded child clung tightly to their mom, conversing in Japanese.

Seeing such kids keen on VTubers… the future indeed looked bright, inspiring a genuine smile.

Yet, simultaneously, it worried Wakamou to realize they drew enough popularity for mother-daughter duos to visit Korea.

‘Why does everyone keep staring… Is a tall woman so unusual?’

Feeling conspicuous, standing alone in the queue, Wakamou folded their arms, ignoring the curious gazes. Ignoring resulted in expressions of awe upon folding their arms, but continued to ignore…

‘【『Figma NO.777! Virtual Live 5th Festival Commemorative! Paradise’s Guerrilla☆Explosive☆Bunny☆Pekoyama Ragu!』 Korea-exclusive AniMinus Shop Limited Edition [Quantity Limited & Autograph Enclosed]】 couldn’t get it since it’s limited… The line is long… Should I buy it despite the 400k won price?’

Concerned more about securing the figure before their turn rather than the stares, heart racing as the line gradually diminished, Wakamou hummed tunefully, contemplating what to eat upon entry.

Oblivious to the intense gazes focused upon them.

How much time had passed? Amid observing VTuber broadcasts when the event happened.

From Incheon Tower, a loud explosion resounded with black smoke rising, followed by the screams of the crowd.

Could it be tower collapse…? No, with numerous climbers scaling the Incheon Tower, it seemed improbable.

With people anxiously murmuring without understanding what happened, emergency alert messages started pinging rapidly.

Thud─

Suddenly, the ground trembled. Not intense, but perceptible.

An ominous premonition looming, a giant monster seen poking its head from the distant alley.

A [Large Monster] from the 22nd Layer, the Drake. Resembling a tyrannosaurus, the monster drooled down the road, pivoting its head towards the crowd.

Among screaming, panic-stricken populace, the monster’s overwhelming roar dominated the cries of despair.

From those collapsing weak-kneed to those fainting unable to endure.

The late-unfolding understanding of the situation gnawed at Wakamou, yet certain speculations emerged.

Could it be those extremist terrorists claiming towers exist to judge humanity broadcasted on recent news?



That didn’t matter!



The collaboration cafe was right behind them!!
