[Title: Summary of VTuber Ichigo’s Gaming Broadcast Yesterday]
(Ichigo teaching a Fox Deity how to shoot in a training ground meme)
If it’s about learning a game, then Wakamou is like Ichigo’s disciple, right?
They do have similarities. Undoubtedly.
If you’re terrible at games, you bring along a friend who’s good at them.
Meanwhile, what’s with Leader Ichigo shooting at the back of the head?
Is it even real? Seeing illusions or something?
Yeah, it might be better if the Leader doesn’t come.
The Leader is probably… the worst among us!
– You’re so slow, you can’t even aim.
– Is that so… does it look like an enemy…
– Leader!! Who are you attacking right now!!
– Want to control your aim?
– Welcome. To the upside-down world.
ㄴAll friends and foes are reversed.
– From when did you start thinking… that the Leader is above Ichigo?
– Ichigo, you’re the only one who can climb that gaming tower!!
– If they realize I’m a game genius, they’ll just make me do gaming broadcasts…
– The path to mental victory is always a notorious one.
ㄴBut nobody said notorious tho.
ㄴOh, I see.
– No, what’s this? Why did the Leader become a beast?
– Stop projecting your agony onto Ichigo…
– Wakamou, you stonehead.
– You know, rookie, no chicken dinner if you lose.
ㄴ”Then just win”
– So that’s the level of the players? Thanks. If there are 98 like that, we’ll make it somehow.
ㄴ(After scoring 58 kills)
ㄴDamn lol get out of casual games!!!

[Title: Let’s Get to Know Our Cute Newbie Hajime Ichigo]
If you interpret her name, Hajime=Begin.
If you roughly say Ichigo=No.1.
Yep, so Ichigo’s name essentially means “VTuber Unit No.1.”
From what I hear, it seems like she’s a 【Tower Collapse Victim】.
She’s said to be a surviving expert from the apocalypse for 10 years but is only 17.
Awakened as the youngest Climber at 7, she’s been climbing for 10 years.
How did they even know and discover where she came from? The gap-moe is insane.
Fans are called 【Friends】, yup…
She had no one to talk to like this.
So she says, let’s be friends… it touches the heart…
Mom, I have a girlfriend now.
– Why go crazy at the end?
– If Ichigo stops broadcasting, I’ll find and kill her.
– “Then let’s be friends” brought a little tear to my eye.
– Saying she’s happy the boss kidnapped her, isn’t she a minor foreign worker…?
ㄴ”I’m above the law of South Korea?”
ㄴ”The younger the VTuber, the better”
– Meanwhile, lol seriously, Ichigo’s clip on the Leader’s channel for real.
– Wakamou, who’s terribly bad, is just absent…..
– Totally nasty without rhyme or reason!!
– Heard “Unmoldy bread is soft and delicious” and opened my wallet… I can skip a meal.
– Her eye-smile makes her look like a snow woman ready to eat someone but opens her mouth and turns into a retriever lol

[Title: Aren’t VTuber Fans the Most Pathetic Type in Communities?]
I guess I’ll become a pathetic type too now.
Ichigo is pitiful… I have to give Ichigo a thousand won…
Watching broadcasts all day, and it’s damn interesting.
Did league duo carrying with ADC and support.
Leader sucked hard, carried the hell out.
Feeding kills on a spoon, saying “Boss enjoy every bite” serving in a platter.
Then seeing him receive it, struggle with amnesia, sighed.
Ultimately, solo support guerrilla backdoor stopping them was admirable.
Indeed, VTuber substitute it was.
– For real?? From today, our bestie moment in the horizon!!
– This kid welcome lol
– Is it fear of the new age!!
– It’s pathetic to be a VTuber fan, but doing it in a community? Double pathetic.
– We’re not going out to make friends anyways.
– Isn’t it friends gathering when a friend is broadcasting?
– “Boss says don’t stream with men”
ㄴAccidentally duo queued, but viewer was a man so killed him.
ㄴEven a unicorn would be appalled by a crazy maiden.
ㄴUnicorn brats like calling it virgin Valkyrie?
ㄴThey’ve always been crazy.
Despite concerns, Hajime Ichigo’s broadcast was successful. The profile introduction ended up being almost fully open, but thinking it as a positive wasn’t too bad.
A 17-year-old girl Climber who fought to survive in a world like an apocalypse for 10 years.
If it were only a fictional concept, it might seem over-the-top, but when she talks about her vivid survival journey, the “Friends” wondered where Wakamou picked up such a young lady.
Ichigo treated the boss like a savior who saved her life and mentioned how he bought her delicious food and gave her a fluffy bed, saying his embrace was warm… It was a revelatory insight into how much this young child had suffered.
Of course, the curiosity about her bust size and panty color from perverts, and the flood of attention given the cheap donations, was brushed aside for the first day.
Pricing needed to be adjusted a bit stronger.
Though, setting it above ten thousand won would be difficult.
The broadcast was a success overall, even though they expected taunts urging her to do Tower Climbing when doing other content.
Ichigo was nervous initially, but once she realized people beyond the screen couldn’t hurt her.
In her view, they were kind and gentle people who gave her money, so calling them “Friends” was nice, but it worried me a little.
Wouldn’t a few with malice try to manipulate her if she got too engrossed? Many malicious types try to handle and influence major corporate bodies these days. Didn’t people often scoff, saying the large subscriber base was because of the backing by giant corporations?
It was truly a blessing that her backup was the government.
“Really, can I eat and still grow? Really?”
“Yes, yes, I’ll buy everything”
Being deeply involved in watching VTuber shows all day, creating clip videos, and living a life of discovering new VTubers is because I genuinely enjoy it and it makes me happy.
Now that I had this adorable VTuber to nurture, I had to allocate time to her. Although my cold meals might increase slightly, so what?
Lounging around, claiming responsibility for nurturing a hard-working VTuber like Liu Ying, I couldn’t just throw a barely adolescent child to the edge and tell her to fend for herself.
That’s irresponsible!!
The boss, treasured on the other side with a head like a fish, dreamed of becoming a VTuber idol and built a company but was too ignorant about women to make many mistakes, previously. So he rented a manager to cover his inadequacies.
He immediately identifies what’s lacking in himself. If he can cover that, he should.
Thus, as an owner, managing at a reasonable distance without excessive interference, as VTuber Live, since the boss himself is also a VTuber.
As with Stella Mus, nurturing and parenting while communicating directly and entertaining viewers with his own challenges could be fun.
I’ll make sure owner risk incidents never happen.
Wasn’t there once a notorious yellow-clad boss who often made operational mistakes despite having great capital?
In the end, what I’ve got to keep in mind is how lucky I am thanks to the many pioneers who diligently paved this barren land before me, so that I could walk on it comfortably and learn from their journeys.
Is it okay for life to be this easy??
Thus, I must never again be so complacent or lax!!
In any case, wiping the ice cream trickling down Liu Ying’s chin with a handkerchief while telling her to brush her teeth before going to bed, seating her on my lap.
“Did you wait long, Wakamou? The identity procedures will be completely done today. Since you aren’t changing her name, only her nationality is switching to South Korea.”
Manager Wanda Haye brought over Liu Ying’s naturalization certificate and handed it to me. Since she’s still young, I was listed as her guardian, and she’d get her residency ID card when she reaches adulthood?
Concerned about whether Liu Ying should attend school and such, I dared ask, but she shook her head, saying that would be difficult.
“In the case of naturalization, special naturalization conditions were fulfilled, hence it was plausible. Since Wakamou has his merits in Korea as a Climber. Moreover, Liu Ying being a fellow Climber contributed, but as you know, Climbers are superhumans. Even if there’s a slight spat among schoolmates, at the least, it could result in fractures? Home tutors or internet education are better options.”
“I’ll do my best”
“Don’t overdo it”
Anything Wakamou orders, Liu Ying was enthusiastic to do, showing determination as I once more smeared the ice cream off her mouth. Ah, was I demanding too much of this clumsy girl, fueled by my own desires, making my conscience ache.
“After all, as a VTuber she has tremendous talent, but working as my Climbing partner she’s ideally suited as an Alchemist. If Wakamou secures the Complete Strategy Layer, the Climbing Association can procure the materials, then she can produce goods using those materials.”
“Is that right?”
“Since you’re here─ How about checking out the results from the Wakamou Inarizushi 1st layer? As VTubers can also do hand-cam broadcasts. Production could be good content.”
Surprisingly, the diligent Manager Wanda Haye gave genuinely earnest advice.
Naturally, all of this piled up as benefits because I diligently climbed the Tower, though.
‘Previously, I was really concerned about unilateral broadcasts. But considering that even other Climbers watch my broadcasts…’
Wasn’t there a Chinese Climbing terrorist named ‘Collector’ who attacked Korea with his followers?
As a broadcaster, maybe I should conceal any cards worth hiding, but I still need to ensure my weaknesses aren’t exposed.
─“composed of Mana” was a weak spot of mine.
The time I felt my mana burning after consuming the potion made by Liu Ying.
It occurred to me that I’m more vulnerable to [Wizard] skill sets targeting mana than imagined.
Conversely, fighting opponents indifferent to magic may mean my attacks have magic-like judgments, voided.
Wouldn’t such an undesirable event be troubling?
Isn’t it necessary to at least show some blood flowing when there’s an injury?
As I looked at the slaughtered carcasses of the “Angry Boar” and “Feral Deer,” another thought struck me.
However, I couldn’t help but worry that the raid condition not allowing injuries might prevent us from showing certain things.
※※※
“The name is Liu Ying. Age 17, from Beijing. Awakening age 7… The youngest first-generation climber. Cleverly used tower entry and climbing to efficiently travel long distances at such a young age.”
Among the climbers, the particularly smart ones tend to awaken as Wizards or Alchemists.
People sarcastically call it a Fortune Coin because the gap between professions was so extreme.
The difference was significant enough that some would switch professions and even give up climbing due to dissatisfaction with being an Alchemist.
Nevertheless, the strengths weren’t entirely absent. You could call it a slow and steady line of work.
In the beginning, one had to receive all sorts of support just to barely catch their breath. Even with patronage, success was far from guaranteed in this profession.
Moreover, it was an indispensable class with a knack for creating things like potions, falling under the non-combat professions group.
However, choosing a skill tree leaning toward aggressive potion crafting couldn’t be avoided.
As a result, proper potion makers were rare.
Now, with resource procurement in South Korea becoming easier, they could nurture these non-combat climbers, brightening the future.
※※※
While Association President stood there with a disinterested expression, looking at the photo of Liu Ying being evaluated as a “Tower-matched Climber,” he was deep in thought.
“It’s one of the most common surnames among the Chinese Han people.”
“Is it? I see…”
“Haha! Well, Manager Wanda Haye might not be interested since it’s related to men. I was just reminded of the ‘Imperial Jade Seal’ secured by Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, and finally Cao Cao…”
It was simply speculation, and the Association President laughed it off. However, hasn’t it been said that their descendants still exist to this day?
Just a baseless guess. But what if it’s true? Should they embark on a conclusive expedition to unify the nation with an army of 500,000 believers?
“This is exciting, very exciting…”
Though it happened hours ago, the Association President was watching Wakamou converse with Manager Wanda Haye from afar. Liu Ying sitting on his knee, wiping off ice cream, taking care of her like a mother.
Such gentleness and maternal care would be even more special for a child who has lived alone through hardships.
However, being an association president who had conquered numerous towers, he could feel it.
Though he couldn’t see where those closed eyes were looking, he sensed the immense power of magic flowing beneath her skin.
Despite the Tomfoolery with ease, communicating with VTuber fans through a single screen, she was a deity who loved these streamers.
If climbers of the same level as her encountered her, they couldn’t help but feel goosebumps race through their bodies.
Thanks to the skill Association President had, he could gauge Mana.
A lower-tier Wizard class usually acquires a Mana stat between 500 and 1,000.
But Wakamou’s stat, just by estimation, belonged to the top-tier class.
The sheer amount of power was enough to nearly overlook that they were on a lower floor.
‘If that’s the decayed power snatched from a declining idol’s heyday…’
It almost made one feel afraid, wondering if gods might have existed in the age of myth.
And he felt relief. If he wanted to, he could single-handedly destroy the Incheon Tower.
But he loved humans so much, dependent on them to the point of desperation.
‘Should we feel fortunate that he’s addicted to the dopamine provided by modern civilization?’
If the president could see what the Association President could see, he might have sent the military to suppress the threat.
While it seemed like he was making underhanded deals while networking overseas, if he had known, he would have taken significant action.
“So, Manager Wanda Haye, what’s the broadcast schedule for today?”
“I hear he’s climbing the 12th floor.”
“He’s so passionate about climbing; it’s truly delightful. I hope he doesn’t overexert himself. Provide the best support possible.”
“Yes.”
Such overwhelming power could protect a nation on its own.
If he grew even stronger, could he potentially turn all the towers in South Korea into national resources?
‘Although it’s still on my mind. If she truly is a descendant of Liu Bei, then what…’
Browsing through the gallery, there were remarks about her being picked up due to her resemblance to her ancestor, which the Association President couldn’t ignore.
‘That young lady… Could she have lied about her age?’
Though she claimed to be 1,000 years old, what if it’s like someone in their 30s claiming to be 17?
“I’m afraid to ask and get hit…”
A woman is always a woman.
Because some manners must always be maintained.

“Sa-chan, Ichigo! I made it!”
To make it easy for Ichigo’s viewers to see, she streamed her unique content of [Alchemist] potion crafting through a livestream, and the result was roughly as follows.
While it looked enticing and had a pleasant aroma, the description was quite brutal.
[Sweet Flame Thrower]
Grade: Consumable.
Strawberry flavor thanks to added gum.
Ignites upon throwing, a flaming bomb.
Contents are sticky and cling easily.
[Soft Milk Potion]
Grade: Consumable
Tastes like soft serve ice cream.
Hardens the lungs when consumed.
Freezes the whole body, so caution is advised.
-This room’s really doing alchemy LOL
-The kid worked hard to make it for her mom.
-Shouldn’t we drink it? Look how eager she is.
-It really looks delicious…
-Compared to the blondie next door, she’s like a fairy!
“Ugh”
Boom─
“Oh, strawberry flavor.”
-Seriously drank it, what???
-They say she can’t die because she’s a VTuber~~
-The explosion sound is like from an anime.
-I’d drink it if it’s from my child!!
-Child-rearing is really harsh….
-Reluctant to eat those made from dirt during make-believe?
-There are areas males just won’t understand…
-What if you give that to friends as a gift?
-Well, you’d have to eat it… It’s the first gift from a girl…
Ichigo was shocked that she truly drank it, but boasted to viewers that poison doesn’t affect her much.
Seeing empty bottles in the camera, viewers asked for confirmation that she actually drank it.
Most of the potions Ichigo made were used in trap settings and consisted of poisons.
Because of the strong penalties, the effectiveness was often strong, making them incredibly useful.
Of course, the problem was that only Wakamou could perform such antics.
‘The potion used previously will be useful after all.’
Hollow gourds or something? To disguise them as liquor and fill them with [Sweet Flame Potion].
Eating it would incinerate the stomach and esophagus, typically resulting in death, but Wakamou could expel it as flames, so it wasn’t a problem.
There was also a potion reserved, not knowing its use, but thinking it might be okay with their Mana-formed body.
[Crispy Elasticity Potion]
Grade: Consumable
Tastes like chicken fried batter fills the mouth.
Elasticity increases significantly across the body.
Stretched, torn muscles do not recover.
‘But come to think of it, there weren’t any bones in the first place.’
It would be perfect for claims of an idol’s true appearance not being there!!
Wouldn’t showing too much of a monstrous side diminish human appeal and lead to a bad reputation? Best to be cautious.
As long as ordinary poisons were ineffective, it was demonstrated on the broadcast.
“[Tower Entry]!”
※※※
“Damn it!”
[Currently climbing the 12th floor of the Incheon Tower]
– The difficulty increases according to [Wakamou Inarizushi]’s achievements!
– Defeat the [Elite Monster]!
– Hunt down the [Cunning Goblin Horde].
[Platinum Achievements Conditions]
– Hunt the [Cunning Goblin Horde] (0/10)
– Take no damage from the [Cunning Goblin Horde] (0/1)
– Remain undetected by the [Cunning Goblin Horde] (0/1)
“I’m screwed…”
This is truly difficult. How on earth is a 2-meter giant supposed to hide?
Moreover, these aren’t just ordinary monsters; being of the elite grade was disheartening.
In fantasy, goblins are seen as low-tier mobs, but aren’t they depicted as unsolvable fiends in certain series? Unfortunately, this place was the latter.
They wield poison-laden knives, throw toxic darts, lay traps, lure enemies, and ambush using their small statures.
Their noses are sharp, their vision excels in darkness, and sensitive hearing goes without saying.
– Why’s the leader’s difficulty so unforgiving?
– Wow, Vietnam front!
– Entering would be a massive loss against guerillas…
– Even the US couldn’t win, trust me.
– Damn, it’s a shitty forest LOL
– Next-gen poison may not affect the leader, but he’s gonna swear roaming the woods.
– Many former climbers underestimated them and eventually retired, okay?
SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1Y2VIUWZiVkQ1UHFPVnhKWjVSVlBpeEFJMFFDVFk3QjM1TldVVkVtY1lIRg
Watching the concerned viewers’ comments, Wakamou squatted down and spoke to the camera.
“Oh dear, what a serious mess, cameraman. These goblins are quite troublesome adversaries. Remaining undetected is essential. In this regard, let me show you how to hunt in the wild.”
-?
-?
-Bear mode? Are you the master?
-We can’t use it though since we’re not foxes.
-Can sneaky hunting be done with that build?
-Without witnesses, who identifies an assassination?
-Just anticipating whatever the leader shows us.
Seeing the comments from viewers, Wakamou laughed.
And soon, reviewing her actions, the believers would solemnly express their condolences to the goblins after watching.
