[Title: Power No. 1]

(Wakamou swinging the 70-story tower, sending the architect flying in a gif)

Live footage caught in America, LOL

They said there was a terror attack, so helicopters and reporters swarmed in.

Captured perfectly, LOL Wow~ Is this the power of Number 1?

– No wonder Number 2 of technology feels overwhelmed.

– There’s a woman who defeated America with sheer power.

– Beyond the collapse of the tower… weaponizing towers…

– Fulfilled the ambitions coveted by countless nations with sheer force!!

Those Russians, LOL, were just amateurs, LOL

– LOL, just pull out the tower and swing it around, right~

– Isn’t this invincible if you just weaponize towers?

– If the swinging tower is smashed, it’s either a catastrophe or nothing, LOL

[Title: Let’s Discover Our Wakamou’s Abilities]

Architect Dorrison J Jackson.

The crazed Six-Legged Beast who broke out of prison to build a new one.

Robbed banks and demolished police stations.

Can remodel an entire city overnight.

He’s a criminal who can collapse towers to extort money.

Walks around smashing heads with a hammer even while being shot by three shooters, LOL

There are rumors he’s from the hood and doesn’t open his mouth even under torture.

(A photo of Jackson declaring his love for K-POP after moving to South Korea).

He moved into the first-floor tower of Wakamou and immediately started city construction.

Heard that the new foreman was so excited seeing the materials that he danced.

It’s said that in extreme excitement, he sang praises of Wakamou with trembling joy.

Produces 40-50 construction plans an hour.

Continuously revises and adjusts the city while pursuing maximum efficiency.

Doesn’t leave work, gets feedback, eats roughly while working relentlessly.

Soon, they say the city will be finished and might get featured in architectural magazines.

Might even do interviews and receive awards? The first-floor tower of Wakamou is almost the size of New York.

It’s about twice the size of Seoul.

The Collector Liu Wei also got beaten by Wakamou and declared Wakamou as the state religion, only to get scolded, LOL.

Yet, Architect Jackson is voluntarily declaring his allegiance to Wakamou?

What would make a black man voluntarily work like a slave for his master?

We saw it as history.

Don’t delve too deeply into the leader’s secrets.

– The man changed from a Doberman to a Retriever.

– What exactly makes him so loyal, LOL

– People inside are allegedly asked where to build a shrine.

Well, it is a serious matter, LOL

– The king of authority in Japan loves him, the chairman of China worships him, and a black man in America makes him his master…

– No, the last one is incredibly dangerous, LOL

– Is this for real, LOL?

– The talents in Six-Legged Beast will all be stolen by the leader.

– Seriously, what’s the secret, LOL

Architect Dorrison J Jackson left [Six-Legged Beast] and officially switched allegiance to South Korea as a climber, moving into [Wakamou’s first floor].

Naturally, there was a lot of controversy over bringing a famous American criminal, but seeing him sincerely building the city with all his might and happiness, he credits it entirely to Wakamou.

His fanatical devotion was so unsettling that people stopped digging further into it.

They were afraid of what might happen if they tried to find out.

Moreover, rather than writing articles to create controversy around Wakamou, the articles vanished without a trace, and those who tried faced indescribable psychological harm, reducing the number of people curious about the truth even further.

Existing residents found it convenient and satisfying as roads, buildings, and structures magically appeared overnight.

Bridges, harbors, and mountain cable cars appeared in a day, crafted tirelessly by architect Jackson, bringing joy.

Although some were still worried due to his criminal background.

However, the basic condition for residents was to subscribe to Wakamou Inarizushi, trusting that Wakamou’s judgment was sound, so they liked Jackson, and there were even people expressing gratitude, making Jackson feel truly fulfilled and thankful to Wakamou in some sense.

He was tirelessly working beyond exhaustion, cutting down sleep hours to build the city.

With Wakamou’s wealth at a level where buying merchandise wouldn’t even scratch it, Wakamou allowed Jackson to use resources freely, letting him indulge in his dreams and enjoy a golden period, finding happiness by erecting a gigantic Wakamou Inarizushi statue at the city center.

Of course, Wakamou politely asked him not to do such things.

Instead, Jackson said in an overly modest and frugal manner during an interview:

“The tower being sealed by Wakamou’s power is a loss for humanity. Do you know how kind and noble an idol Wakamou is? This great individual wholeheartedly supports and trusts me, considering even a criminal’s opinion utmost important. What is a ‘master’ to you all!!”

Though it went quite overboard, some extreme parts of the latter part of the interview were cut.

Wakamou found it puzzling where Jackson learned such things.

Simply letting him do what he wanted, why did he turn into a fanatic?

China and Japan also had construction needs, so Wakamou mentioned feeling a bit sorry, as they might take on requests.

Even if the work increases, there was just delight that he was so needed, he rejoiced at being someone critical to fulfilling so many needs!!

Seeing Jackson’s joy working under someone who recognized his abilities and even put wings on his dreams made Wakamou feel a bit pitiful.

Indeed, he must have had a hard time.

Considering he’s a senior climber by far.

With the revelation of being a 6-year veteran climber.

The tale of how he single-handedly pioneered his ‘Legendary Class’, which he called “the one-man business guinea pig class not providing even the four major insurances”, must have been painstaking… Wakamou empathized deeply and promised that he would get to build South Korea’s capital.

Maybe the work seems to keep increasing.

However, the tale of letting Jackson craft the capital city brought him utmost joy, doing celebratory flips and sliding on bare ground.

The Legendary Class truly has its peculiarities.

“The master gave me a gift!!”

“No, such words will lead to misunderstandings among the people!!”

“It’s fine for a black person to joke like this!!”

“……”

Wakamou found it hard to refute, so they sealed their lips.

Whatever they say, it’d probably be a trap….

Thus, they inadvertently became a Fox Deity who rescued a black slave from a cotton field while visiting America.

Memes about Wakamou reversing the era popping up in cafes surpassed even Kim Gu’s cultural victory.

In the chaos, pondering whether it’s alright, the SM uniformed black man fanart getting whipped happily by Wakamou brought a moment of doubt.

Moreover, seeing comments under an article about Wakamou hugging someone, saying “You hugged them? My horn hurts so much… I can’t bear it; the Unicorn is going astray…” brought some dizziness.

As they saw fanart portraying human horseback riding and chairs referred to as Wakamou’s master’s chair, similar to Sodom and Gomorrah, Wakamou just laughed it off, considering it part of fun social playing.

During this, stumbling upon Asuka’s drawing claiming they are Wakamou’s exclusive slave led Wakamou to deliberate briefly before giving a three-day penalty for harassment.

※※※

“Hello~bo~! It’s Wakamou~!”

“Starting today, I’m in your care. It’s Order Made Aoi Asuka.”

“….? Asuka, what greeting is that all of a sudden?”

“Advancing to future times! Built-to-order installed in every home… Yes. It’s Roboco.”

“Is something broken again…”

– LOL, spouting nonsense right off the bat, LOL

– Master must have worked the slave hard, LOL

– Seems high performance anyway, LOL

– Actually pretty high performance among AI VTubers.

– Definitely a top-tier among AI VTubers.

– Posted fan art of the leader doing self-whipping and got a three-day suspension for crossing the line.

– Wait, what?! I missed it!!!

– LOL, how could you miss it, LOL

– It’s your fault, believer!!

“Today, we’re on Wakamou Corporation’s collaboration!! Even though I’d love to join the large-scale server streamers are on today…[Build Craft]!! The creation of Wakamou Server!!”

“I, Aoi Asuka, built it in a day.”

“Look forward to it! Let’s spend all day today getting emotional healing! Let’s fish, gather around to decorate homes, and create buildings!!”

– Wouldn’t it be easier to just call the architect and do it in real life?

– Slave, build us a concert hall.

– Already built it.

– LOL

– It’s not being worked hard; it’s I who am embracing it….

– There’s a loyal black person working for Wakamou….

– From today, you’re Yasuke.

– LOL

“Oh really! What do they think people are!! I’m not making slaves or anything!!”

“That’s right!! Asuka is a pet!!”

“No, don’t phrase it like that! It makes it even weirder!!”

“Then label me as an immature beast. Wahh, Asuka year one.”

Pulling out a fan, Wakamou swats Asuka on the head.

This had now become a routine, and believers just laughed.

Born this year and still one year old, an unregistered immature beast without ID!!

VTuber Asuka with aspirations to one day gain human rights had spectators laughing.

– For someone of higher species status to not have rights, LOL

– Humans have ID numbers, so why don’t they?

“Isn’t assigning numbers something only for livestock?”

– True.

– Bullseye….

– What? Are they saying Koreans are slaves?! Not entirely wrong…

– I’d rather be raised like livestock.

– That’s you! How about subscribing to Wakamou to become a human livestock raised on the first floor of Wakamou?

– Believer is spelled and read as a slave….

“Really!! Stop teasing!! Alright, everyone let’s enter!!”

Brimming with anticipation, Wakamou clapped and called everyone to join [Build Craft] since chitchat was sufficient.

Bringing pigs, cows, and chickens to build farms…creating homes to your liking, cultivating fields, fishing…

Through climbing and perpetual battles, you end up living intense days, so peaceful healing times are occasionally necessary.

Believers might crave dopamine, but Wakamou wanted to try it at least once.

[Build Craft Wakamou Server] built and decorated by affiliated VTubers working together…doesn’t just the thought of it make you feel warm and fuzzy?

– It would indeed be fun to gather together, chat, and fish, LOL
It sounds fun lol

– Can’t wait to see what Pirate will build. Big thumbs up lol

– Can this team really build a decent house?

– So many newbie bilks are going to fall into magma and die…!

– The leader knows a lot!!

With excited viewers full of anticipation, the wide landscape unfolds as they enter.

[Build Craft] is known as a game where you can freely build, hunt, farm, collect, engage in PvP, explore, design circuits, or even create your own game in a world made entirely of square blocks, alone or with others, with no set goals.

The game could be a massive content experience where VTubers affiliated with companies create a server for shared memories or streamers gather to have fun together.

And now, Wakamou Corporation started it with a team of 4 members.

The goal was to pioneer this server together, allowing new members to come later and share the memories made by their seniors with the viewers…

They are now making the first page of history!!

An excited Wakamou immediately started controlling a character, running to a tree, punching it down, and crafting tools.

They had watched countless VTuber videos playing Build Craft.

Despite appearances, she had the best knowledge of this game among the group.

With the anticipation of guiding and commanding as the boss, she was so excited that she didn’t even sleep the previous night, meticulously planning it all!

“Hey, this is the Build Craft I know, right, Asuka?”

“What’s up, puffing Marlboros?”

“Don’t call a person like a smoking dude! My name is Mare Pirate!”

“Apologies, I bit my tongue.”

“No, it was on purpose.”

“Bite your tongue and die.”

“Yeah, it was intentional!!”

Before gathering, Pirate was playing the game while checking coordinates, gathering intel, and listening to what the crew was saying, but… something seemed off.

It was subtly different from what she saw in YouTube videos.

First and foremost, the brain symbol drawn in the corner of the screen was suspicious.

The leader seemed too happy about playing the game together to notice it.

With graphics unnecessarily high quality, characters with prepared skins, and even movements differing from the usual Build Craft, Pirate felt a nagging sense of foreboding.

“It’s chilly….”

Meanwhile, Ichigo, separated and alone, felt an odd sense of unease.

“Guys… feels not so good…”

Hajime Ichigo’s danger detection sense was sending out warnings.

Ichigo, who could feel even static from minor magnetic changes while passing through airport security gates, was sensing danger on an instinctual level.

Creak─

Hearing the grass rustle right next to her, Ichigo turned, wondering if it was a cow? A pig maybe? Or perhaps a chicken?

“What the heck is this?”

– It’s an alien, it seems.

– I’ve seen this in a movie.

– Wow, they really implemented it well!

– lol

– lolololol

– lolololol??????

– Ichigo!! Run!!!!

– She’s running!!!!

– It’s Asuka’s trap!!!!

An alien monster, something straight out of an SF horror movie, began charging at Ichigo.

With superhuman reflexes, Ichigo built a wall of earth to block its path, dug into the ground, and sealed the ceiling to escape.

In an astonishing survival expert’s response executed in less than 3 seconds, her friends showered her with admiration.

“Was this kind of game always this way…?”

-No.

-No way.

-If it were this kind of game, nobody would have played it lol

-Why are aliens appearing in the wild!!

A sudden alien invasion on a healing server that was meant to be calm, happy, and relaxing.

Ichigo, in response to friends asking if it was a PR move for a movie release, tilted her head, acknowledging that something was indeed wrong here.

Well, since it was a collaboration, she picked up her pickaxe and started digging through the ground.

With eerie cries of creepy monsters echoing and terrifying BGM resounding from all directions as she descended, her friends trembled with fear, but Ichigo’s expression remained serene.

“It’s like an old memory.”

-lolol

-“Only the character dies.”

-Compared to a real apocalypse, it’s endlessly cute lol

-The hells they’ve been through are different!!!!

-But won’t the leader be unable to endure this?

-? Why?

-The leader is seriously a coward lol

-??? What are you talking about?

-It’s hard to believe, but our leader is a serious coward lolololol

Wakamou stared blankly at the forest on fire.

The deep distress lingering on her face seemed to indicate what emotions she was feeling without her having to say a word.

The [Build Craft] she knew wasn’t this horrendous.

It wasn’t meant to be this horrifying hellscape….

“Added natural environment sounds from the biome, enhanced sound effects for realism, increased immersion, and added echoing to feel the threat vividly, installed sound modes to feel the thrill,” Asuka began explaining, like a chef boasting about the painstaking care put into a dish at a high-end restaurant.

She proudly showcased the Wakamou server, a labor of love made while thinking of Wakamou, admitting she spent a day on it.

“Including the Alien Mode and Parasite Mode, various mods are installed, such as horror monsters appearing at night. The brain visible on the lower screen shows a mental mode where ghosts appear when SAN level drops. It replenishes with fishing and farming.”

Knowledge of such things wasn’t desired at all.

Nonetheless, Asuka proudly explained her masterpiece, remarking that the field gradually becomes polluted, parasites swarm according to the day in a wave, and you fight to survive in order to defeat the evil “Mother Brain” threatening the world as the ultimate goal.

“Why are you doing this….”

Trying to suppress her urge to scream in fear and dread, holding a wooden sword and beating parasites, Wakamou asked Asuka, who had just joined them.

“…Why? You ask why? Well… it’s because…”

Asuka, displaying a reaction of genuine inability to comprehend such a question, tilted her head about 90 degrees and answered Wakamou.

“Because… it’s fun.”

“Are you crazy!!!”

“Captain, there are people who don’t follow logic. Bribes, threats, persuasion, negotiations don’t work. They just want to watch the world burn.”

“No, Pirate!! It’s actually burning!! My server is!!!”

Pirate said that since Asuka was always this way, Wakamou just had to accept and move on.

Despite Wakamou’s request to make a server where everyone could have fun together, she made this type of cosmic horror world in just a day?

Wakamou, not finding it fun at all, tearfully protested to the creator.

“What on earth is fun about this, Asuka!!”

“Believers want to see Wakamou scream. The stream just needs to be entertaining, right? Tremble with fear and scream fiercely to delight the believers, Wakamou!!”

“Kyaaahhhhh──!!”

-lololol This is it lol

-This unexpected twist came lolol

-No server like this anywhere…

-Can’t a Climber live a day without bloody chaos?

-Compared to tower climbing, this kind of everyday chaos is nothing lol

-The leader is already panicking and screaming lol

-They understand their master precisely.

-As expected from a high-performance robot, astutely grasping the viewers’ desires…

“But!! Scrap heap!! What are we supposed to do with a wooden sword against all this?!”

Seeing the swarm of aliens, horror monsters, and parasites coming in, Pirate questioned Asuka about the extent of the matter.

But Asuka, raising her hand, cheekily reminded them she was a high-performance maid.

“Service time for the flea-like viewers♡ Moe Moe~”

In a coquettish voice filled with love and affection, Asuka winked.

Raising both hands high, she made a heart with her hands towards the screen that viewers were watching.

“New Divine Blast!!!”

Pew─

Bang.

The beam fired from her hands annihilated the approaching alien all at once.

“Did you see? Asuka’s performance? It’s different from mere AI VTubers!”

“No, it’s a mess!! How do you shoot this?!”

SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1UldJZnZQemRwemdmYmdPWi9jUUx4MHJqazUwalh3SFVISGZsYS8rNUlUVw

-lolololol

-I think I might go insane!!!

-Isn’t she playing in her own game mode lol

-Why does a divine blast come out!!!!

-Choose between horror and action..!

“I shall teach you, drunkard. It’s not that there are things science cannot elucidate… rather, the relentless endeavor to seek rules in the unknown—that very thing is what we call science.”

“Seems earnest enough. Let’s conquer fantasy with science.”

-In what part is there understanding lol

-Why is the Captain quicker at compromising on this lol

-How are they being convinced!!!

-But more importantly, these guys are quoting anime famous lines!!

-Doctor Rock-head is indeed interesting….

-Is it a server reconstructing a post-apocalyptic human civilization?

With a single wooden sword, Pirate charged bravely, only to be blown away along with the alien by Asuka’s Divine Blast from behind.

Meanwhile, Ichigo, diligently mining in tunnels, calmly took her time enjoying a cup of tea, steadily crafting an underground base.

Being chased by monsters, screaming her lungs out, panicked, screaming for her mother—Wakamou tearfully bemoaned in stark terror, not knowing much about this game!!

The VTubers affiliated with the corporation were nurturing and developing the Build Craft server together.

Since Wakamou Corporation had started this massive and long-term content too.

Warding off waves while fighting against the evil “Mother Brain” trying to conquer the Wakamou server with parasites—

—A server fitting for Climbers for whom the frail shall gain nothing had opened its very first day!!
