“Munch Munch”
In the morning, Sadako enjoys a hearty breakfast with a glass of soju.
Beside her, Liu Ying has a modest meal of crispy toast with eggs and bacon.
Even though she doesn’t need to eat, Aoi Asuka digs cereal out of the box without milk.
Between them, Wakamou, who prepared the breakfast, checks today’s newspaper.
For a VTuber, communication is always key. It’s crucial to understand the world’s happenings to engage effectively with viewers.
Recently, the hottest topic has been the “Wakamou Floor 1.”
Stories about how it divides society into two classes—those who can get in and those who can’t—and how a mere Climber is causing chaos in South Korea, along with researchers debating the risks of the tower’s collapse if Wakamou were to somehow die.
Association President and Liu Wei have both issued warnings about this issue.
Though, Dorrison J Jackson maintains a nonchalant stance, doubting anyone could kill Wakamou, even if they tried.
“Honestly, the Tower is just a mess,” Wakamou thought.
Initially, he considered it to be a flawless, impeccable entity.
He felt like the Tower was conducting some grand experiment on humans, making them stronger through climbing, and rewarding them with more strength the further they ascended.
Association President or Liu Wei shared that a special monster called “Heroic Spirit” had appeared on the 90th floor, leading to speculation that a real “God” might be waiting at the top of the newly formed 100th floor.
“I should probably start climbing soon,” he mused.
He had asked for some useful Artifact items, ones that could be useful in general situations.
Couldn’t items like the “Dalki’s Winged Garment,” which automatically blocks long-range attacks, eventually break from the strain?
“The criteria for achieving Platinum seem to be getting easier,” he reflected.
The Tower seemed to be saying, “Here, take it easy, Wakamou. If you fail to even attempt this, you’ll lose motivation, right?” Wakamou couldn’t shake this feeling.
Reaching around the 40th floor, he began to feel the Tower’s thoughts, even if they weren’t spoken.
While it’s unknown how different Towers operate from country to country, intercommunication was evidently possible.
Foreign Monsters freely appeared, suggesting a shared relationship among countries’ Towers.
As one climbed, the difficulty and Monster numbers increased, along with more annoying gimmicks, but Wakamou was fighting in an entirely new realm, surpassing all examples.
Almost like the Tower was saying to another, “Look at my experiment; isn’t it something?” and then another Tower responding with, “I’d like to try that too,” throwing unknown Monster species into the mix.
Some rare resources, only obtainable in other countries, were gained from climbing higher, making Manager Wanda Haye boast about the economic benefits.
She had unwavering faith in Wakamou’s unlikelihood of losing, a belief he wasn’t sure whether to be grateful for or not.
Already, the Incheon Tower ceased being just a South Korean Tower, having turned into a ground for international experiments with Wakamou Inarizushi.
Heck, analysis videos from his Climber streams filled every channel.
And the number of annoying links shared, remixed with absurd comments and insults…
The most shocking complaint labeled him as an animal hater citing the “unnecessary brutality” against creatures like “Pedal Deer.”
Religious fanatics threw around accusations of idolatry and beast markings—as if they were Satan’s minions—but those statements were beneath his notice.
“Being a public figure is tough.”
With so many crazies out there, it’s amazing he’s not driven insane.
Among idols who put up with stalkers digging into their pasts while still broadcasting love and warmth—the VTubers, unaffected by outsider coercion, were incredible.
As a senior in VTubing, Wakamou had carved an environment through adversity and hardship; crumbling now would dishonor those pioneers.
He was already grown to a level where he could represent South Korean VTubers.
Therefore, avoiding mishaps on broadcast was necessary, ensuring diligence.
Nonfans should be rooted out entirely, paving the way for future streamers.
“Time to hire a lawyer and sweep them away.”
Disliking VTubers or feeling uncomfortable around them is fine—forcing it upon others is a nuisance!
But creating unnecessary havoc for no reason? That was picking a fight….
“Money is plenty—might as well invest in this.”
Slurp—
Taking a warm sip of coffee.
Having watched and edited his Build Craft content eight times to quell his fears, he self-diagnosed a poor mental state.
He reeled his thoughts back to square one.
Ultimately, considering complaints about what emerged during a climb wouldn’t change anything.
The current issue lay in his job’s Skill.
“Darned Tower…”
To make it easy to understand, he’d use his most perplexing Skill as an example.
Job-exclusive Skill 【Broadcast Points】
-Use accumulated points from broadcasting to grant blessings to Believers.
Current Points: 3,426
[Believers’ Disease Immunity (Minor) – 1 point per person]
SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1UldJZnZQemRwemdmYmdPWi9jUUx4MXgwU0Fzb04reFR5QVNTVUpVS1JuQQ
[Reward of Faith]
-Allow Skills based on points ratio to Believers.
That was it.
Explaining this track of thought—other Climbers shared experiences, equipment, and knowledge with those in the same class, and chose easier Towers to climb.
The principle was, once a Tower was conquered, it disappeared and then reappeared shortly after.
Given the systems were upheld unless chosen to collapse, Towers were known to reward Climbers with various [Skills], [Items], or [Additional Attributes].
Of course, it was first-come, first-served.
Wakamou indeed worried about how he’d fare if other Climbers conquered a Tower before him.
He didn’t mean to cling to these “Complete Strategy Layers” during Tower collapses.
Anyhow, a Legendary Class received no information from other Climbers.
He constructed these steps alone, full of doubt, advancing only with uncertain footing.
Given the premise that a successor emerged only when a predecessor died, without written intervention, transitioning into such a Class felt overwhelming.
“So… Uh…”
Feeling his story jumbled and directionless, Wakamou sighed heavily.
His mind worked rapidly—but articulating the ideas was tough, leading to distractions.
ForInstance, [Believers’ Disease Immunity (Minor)] is a blessing, casting on a person, requiring only 1 point.
Looked at this way, the points felt sorely inadequate since Wakamou had subscribers in the millions.
If there’s any permanent effect, he’d have to test it out on Manager Wanda Haye.
Honestly, did a Climber even need disease immunity…?
The issue arose with this [Reward of Faith], as acquiring it created a [Faith] attribute.
[Faith] could be converted into [Additional Attributes], [Mana], or [Broadcast Points], as previously explained.
And during the Architect fight, in his haste to bolster his Mana with [Faith], he had realized that converting remaining [Additional Attributes] was doable—it worked.
Converting them to [Faith] and, subsequently, back to [Mana] allowed an interchange.
But no instructions mentioned this!!!
Wakamou discovered this mid-battle!!!
So, his dilemma increased—figuring out the application of these [Skills] and their limitless possibilities.
“Collector possesses the usual Attributes and numerous [Skills], so why am I like this?”
Muttering under his breath with a multitude of [Skills] beyond grasp, Wakamou faced an ever-growing array of concerns.
Moreover, the [Job-Exclusive Skill 【Virtual World】] remained untouched!
Attempting to create a concert hall, he didn’t sleep, breaking over 500 ceramic pots without progress!!
“Sigh….”
When he first climbed the Tower, fights flowed with dynamic innovations.
Fear began festering, fearing a one-note tactical rut over time.
Did the Tower factor such worries in…? No, that couldn’t be it.
“Midway through, a cooperative strategy layer awaits—should I go now…?”
※※※
“Humans, go-kon-ni-chi-wa! Hey~~! It’s Wakamou Inarizushi~”
-Leader, welcome.
-So, are you really setting up the Emperor status?
-He said he wouldn’t, you blockhead. Check the announcements.
-Chat’s now subscriber-only, huh? Lol
-Needy people were chat-banned for not donating, lol
-Ah, the clip-spammers endured for our win!!
“Well, I set a long window, but I’ll gradually resolve it. Pesky people abound… Like, someone at a restaurant asked me to buy their meal.”
-? For real?
-Crazy, aren’t they?
-What’s the leader, a celebrity or something? LOL
-No, even for celebrities, that’s a no-no.
-The internet stories suggest that guy must have been insane.
-Leader, you’ve got it rough, huh…
-Calling the Leader a Buddhist for sparing them.
-Real police don’t do squat, huh?
“They don’t respect a VTuber’s downtime. Just because I make money doesn’t mean I have to share it all, right? I also want to buy merchandise and donate and invest with my earnings. I’ve been saving diligently to build a city, you know.”
-If you built a city, well, say no more…
-With that claim, Leader, can you buy me just a hamburger?
-In the soul of my grasslands flows a star… Could you spare 2,000 won?
-If it’s not a bother, just one cyber burger.
-How about we host a big viewer participation event?
-Like Mr. Beast? With a 1 billion prize?
“As a VTuber, I can’t do that! C’mon, something else…”
-Nothing planned?
-With this guy, they have so much planned loading ensues.
-I bet the contents zipping through their mind number at least a hundred.
-Looooooool
“Anyways, as the boss, I should always consider my options… For now, I’m thinking as I climb the Tower today.”
-It’s dopamine time, lol
-What crazy stuff awaits today?
-More thesis material, yay.
-Dude… Don’t lose your mind…”
Starting a broadcast and it has become a routine exchange, where Wakamou casually converses with supporters about his recent updates.
Hajime Ichigo, Mare Pirate, and Aoi Asuka face a similar intrusion of troublesome figures in their streams, prompting subscriber-only chat settings.
Drawing too much similarity to their VTuber personas drew unwanted attention in public. Some onlookers even exhibited total lack of manners, causing headaches.
Some people were so bold as to take pictures without permission, but Aoi Asuka managed those situations well.
All being Climbers, they were rarely fazed by attempted threats unless by other Climbers, who seemed to crave something upon a first meeting….
Reconsidering it filled them with a chill.
[Currently climbing the Incheon Tower Floor 41 World]
– [Climber [Wakamou Inarizushi]’s achievements increase the difficulty!]
– Defeat the [Elite Monster]!
– Eliminate the [Proliferating Yara-Ma-Yha-Who].
[Platinum Achievement Criteria]
– Defeat [Proliferating Yara-Ma-Yha-Who] (0/1,000)
– Avoid Infection by [Proliferating Yara-Ma-Yha-Who] (0/1)
“Huh─? A frog Fighter?”
Scarlet apes—no, they’d pass for people—were grotesque beings with heads and mouths proportionally larger than their bodies, hands, and feet ending in suction cups.
Perched densely above in the densely wooded trees, they appeared like hurled fruits.
-These monkey parasites have emerged.
-What kind of Monster is this?
-They originate from Australia and are somewhat dangerous.
-Dangerous how? Are they poisonous?
-No, but they infect to proliferate their kind.
-??? That’s troublesome, isn’t it?
-Yes, it is troublesome, damn it.
-That’s why Australia lost to their Tower, haha…
What kind of wilderness could Australia possibly be? Alongside viewer comments, a hail of tiny Monsters began falling over Wakamou.
With throngs of 1,000 proliferated creatures in this massive forest?
At the notion of infection, he immediately created distance, observing them choking while eyeing the ground rather than him.
Another Yara-Ma-Yha-Who poured out of its own maw.
These creatures, known to be among the deadliest during an Australian Tower collapse, were notorious for skyrocketing their kind, infecting anything, even picking at Undead, to plunder.
Though their low intelligence inhibited self-sufficient propagation, they were hazardous nonetheless.
Having heard tales of the horrific Monsters emerging from the Australian Tower, Wakamou was amazed by the reality.
“They’ve multiplied…”
The condition to subdue 1,000 had increased to 1,029.
The phenomenon showed these creatures multiplying infinitely, feeding upon themselves rather than life.
“…..With the open landscape, why not try a bigger one?”
[The Idol’s Thunder] transformed “Mana” into lightning. Thus, Wakamou’s flesh could become lightning itself. The skill had supreme speed if not humanly reflexive—even as Wakamou’s extension remained controllable—though inhuman reflexive lightning speed challenges control.
[The Idol’s Flame] engaged as a strike Skill, also deploying “Mana” into flame. Its abundant force never harmed the caster—a sheer advantage, though not fully grasped was its range.
Lastly,
[The Idol’s Tempest].
Expires “Mana” into wind mastery.
Previously out of sheer spontaneity due to plummeting “Mana” consumption, he had narrowly avoided disaster fighting Imugi. The memory of that harrowing battle clung vividly.
Considering hazard scenarios, such Monsters shouldn’t matter?
“Let me show you—real sorcery.”
Raising his hand, lifting himself to an erudite stance—purposefully graceful—sustenance being secondary, mere presence exuded sufficient charisma.
As Monsters swarmed, compounded to corners unknown—it said much of quantity versus quality.
Whoosh──
Wind howled, echoing.
Despite the Monstrous advance, before taking flight or landing, severed from an unseen force, Monsters fell wholesale. Wakamou noticed the visual gruesomeness, contemplating its aesthetic grotesqueness.
Minor tornados alone laid waste to an entire city.
Then what, if unleashed a personal hurricane beyond hundreds of meters per second?
A typhoon, Jupiter-sized, could flatten Seoul into a wilderness quarry.
Logic dictated Wakamou should be swept up, yet he stood steadfast, anchored. Mind curious if Earth could endure, he wagered the Tower’s resilience, confidantly cranking output.
With such furious, cacophonic din, Wakamou muted his stream’s sounds; viewers saw Monsters flicker out like pops, drowned in crimson flashes across the screen.
-What just…?
-What happened?
-….??
Centered, Wakamou obliterated the dense grove, scattering shredded fragments in all directions. With ground joining the disassembled splinters, diminishing until invisible, they vanished from sight.
Growing larger, expanding violently, the tempest engulfed up to its tier’s limit.
As if aboard an aircraft high, trembling lessened overhead; Wakamou beneath felt the earth beneath quake violently, threatening to uproot.
Whhump─!
Intense gusts flared, seemingly pierced eardrums. Wakamou winced.
Despite earache seldom leading physical damage but overstimulating nerves, he’d underestimated the mental strain, dismissing it for viable use.
Suggesting a natural disaster special rather fit better.
In closed confines like a Tower, enhanced power and efficiency blatantly soared, but such pursuits…
“If a hurricane over hundreds of meters per second kicks off, devotees, does it grok like Jupiter’s winds?”
Scientifically clarifying to his followers, Wakamou hovered slightly over eroded abysses, destabilizing his terrain but not his resolve.
“─I overdid it a little.”
-What sorcery utilizes Jupiter’s atmospherics?
-No, wait, I saw this in a movie…
-The substance is atomized down to molecular level—is this a storm..?
-Info) Theoretically possible given adequate pressure.
-Literally erased the area…
-Even with defensive Skills, wouldn’t the terrain erase you, as well?”
“Don’t be so panicked, devotees! This feat requires closure; it didn’t even surface in the U.S., right? Tornado trauma, remember?”
-Yes, yes…
-Americans dare not envision Jupiter cyclones.
-The courtesy’s showing excess feels mournful.
-Don’t dispute Wakamou’s pacifist ways.
-For real, break character, and drop VTubing, promise us.
“VTubers don’t kill people. If they do, they can’t be real VTubers.”
-Oh, such a macho line…!
-I’m a fellow woman, but… swoon.
-The privilege of life and death belongs to the strong—is this not known?
-The problem lies when people persist despite this display?
-For real, lol, it’s an intelligence test, lol
[Incheon Tower Floor 41 unlocks to all humanity upon Platinum Condition achievement!]
[Enhanced rewards follow due to Platinum Tower completion]
[Granting Climbers with 10 Additional Attribute Points]
[[Video Recording] Skill gains [Additional Camera Summon] feature]
[[Mana Manipulation] Skill gains [Increased Mana Efficiency] feature]
[[My Worlds] Skill boosted to [Medium County]]
[[VTuber Asset] registration expands]
“Hmm~ Nothing special…”
The additional camera summon feature increased the number to four, allowing a wider variety of scenes captureable—a bonus.
The [Mana Manipulation] was another enhancement to efficiency—unsure how dramatically [Medium County] extended already beyond manageability.
“Assets are great!”
Having plentiful assets always proved advantageous.
With firearms used recently—what’s next for flair?
Freestyle imagination with fun seemed an alluring approach.
A beam-saber perhaps? Instantly recognizable, visual cues all present.
How about claws amalgamating from fingertips?
“Let’s climb until some equipment drops, everyone!!”
-Wow, an exciting Tower climb for real this time?
-Doesn’t he tend to miss out on gear anyways?
-A Climber I know clears a Tower, gaining items per each gear slot.
-With his Idol job, what’s left to give?
-More disrupts power balance, naturally, lol
-Even the British king relies solely on one iconic sword lol
Indeed—the climb required a positive, optimistic mindset.
Watching cheerful fan comments, Wakamou blossomed with vitality as morning fatigue faded away miraculously.
Like a lie, the droopy tension revived.
As expected, broadcasting is my calling! Why live life worrying so much?
Just live it joyfully and simply!!
Bubble bubble─
“Oh… ugh… ugh”
Wakamou tried to hold back but ended up retching at the stagnant water’s rotten smell.
Looking around in disbelief as soon as he got up, Wakamou blinked standing on a wooden plank.
It was something covered in bubbling moss and mud─ it seemed too stagnant to be classified as a river.
What to call this─
[Climbing the 42nd floor world of Incheon Tower]
-[Wakamou Inarizushi] The difficulty rises according to the climber’s achievements!
-Face off against the [Elite Monster]!
-Defeat [Lahara, Whose Name Must Not Be Spoken].
[Platinum Achievement Conditions]
-Defeat [Lahara, Whose Name Must Not Be Spoken] (0/1)
-Don’t get swallowed by [Lahara, Whose Name Must Not Be Spoken] (0/1)
-Don’t sink in [Lahara, Whose Name Must Not Be Spoken]’s swamp (0/1)
Boom─!!
A giant serpent smashed the wooden plank where Wakamou stood, flipping it over.
Resembling an anaconda, its head had a decrepit body like a decayed tree, endlessly rising and then submerging again in the swamp.
-It’s the boss monster from Brazil!
-What are its characteristics?
-Just don’t go into the swamp where it resides.
-Wait, isn’t the whole field a swamp?
-Nope, seems like the tower is trying to off the leader.
-Why are they saying that so casually!!!!
Knowing full well that his 200KG body would obviously sink in the swamp.
Viewers were frantically searching the screen for the flung Wakamou, recalling he couldn’t swim.
And yet, what they saw was Wakamou standing casually on the swamp.
He was even standing on a leaf with only his big toe, balancing perfectly to keep his foot clean from the swamp.
-??????
-Is this that Light Step skill?
-Light Step is running on water, not floating on it.
-It must be known as “Light as a Feather”, balancing on a reed.
-Our leader is truly a martial arts master.
-I’d rather learn this than other martial arts, seriously lololol
-No, what on earth is the principle?
“Oh… I made my body weight lighter. That’s it. Maybe it’s currently 0KG.”
-Non-existent “Virtual Mass”
-How can a human body weigh zero lololol
-It’s impossible to have mass without weight!!!
-Is it meaningful to question the essence of a non-existent idol?
-It must be possible through the Mariyama Grandmaster’s skill!!
“Without weight, you don’t sink. See? Floating, right?”
Wakamou demonstrated walking on the swamp, reassuring believers to have confidence in him.
-Then, can you walk on water too?
“Yep, possible.”
-lololololololol
-Do I need miracles like Jesus to convince believers?
-The leader effortlessly emulating the miracles of Jesus…
-This is truly an idol’s beast~
-South Korea has always venerated the mountain gods.
-Former president believed in a shaman once, right?
-That guy is nuts lololololol
-The monster the leader is fighting is named Lahara.
“Is that so? The snake is called Lahara?”
-But, you can’t say its name.
“Why not?”
-Saying the name makes it go berserk and swallow you whole in one gulp.
“Why are you telling me only now?”
-Didn’t ask.
-Are you crazy?
-People’s lives are at stake, you idiot!!!
-Leader, should we string this guy up???
-There’s a place to joke lolololol
It was one of those occasional trolls. But at this level, it was almost endearing.
Wakamou mediated, telling believers to nurture such trolls with love, leading them to crack church jokes about the love of Jesus.
Anyway, he winked at the restless believers, then spread his legs adequately sensing the vibration from beneath.
“Kwaaaah!!!”
His foot landed squarely between the upper and the lower jaw of Lahara.
Even trying to widen its jaw aggressively to swallow, Lahara couldn’t manage it because Wakamou could extend his arms and legs if desired.
Finally realizing something was amiss, Lahara tried to reverse body slam Wakamou into the swamp while he dangled from its mouth.
“Hmm…”
“Fixed coordinate”, what extent does this define? The tower defines it as [All physics laws pivot on you].
Standing firm, the feet won’t drift.
Walking on walls or ceiling as if flat ground.
Cant swim when falling in water.
Advantages and disadvantages of this skill are too clear, as Wakamou trotted atop Lahara’s head, careless about gravity or wobbles.
Imagining cool poses on a fighter jet, Wakamou swept his hand to unleash [Idol’s Storm] slicing off Lahara’s neck.
‘It’s more convenient than wielding a sword.’
Infusing mana to wield the breeze for slashing was more fuel-efficient than using a sword.
-lolololol
-Hand blade slash!
-Too lazy to draw a sword lol
-Abstract sword arrived lol
-Isn’t this genuine martial arts?
-Doesn’t it have a spirit core ball?
-Falling into demonic obsession is content too lol
“Now I think about it, this must be a divine beast, must have a spirit core?”
Watching as the massive head splashed and submerged into the swamp, Wakamou recalled hearing something about poisonous plants emerging in this swamp as he scratched his head.
‘Is this too easy…?’
It’s not that it became easier, but having honed his control over power through continuous battles with climbers, developed physical control practices made him stronger.
But Wakamou was suspicious, thinking perhaps the tower was plotting a sudden difficulty spike build-up.
Having contorted his body with every ascent, advancing at harsh difficulty levels unknowingly trained and strengthened him, but Wakamou decisively ignored such thoughts.
Entertaining those ideas might motivate the tower to escalate difficulty further thinking this guy was challenging it!
[The Incheon Tower 42nd floor opens to all humanity upon achieving platinum conditions!!]
[Bonus increases due to platinum strategy raid on the tower!]
[Additional 10 ability points are granted to the climber]
‘Now, about this prize…’
[Choose one reward]

Job-Specific Skill 【Holopote】
-Able to teleport for transport.

‘Seems quite like a VTuber thing…’
Or rather, fits 『Virtual Chat』 well?
Holopote offers teleportation, avoiding motion sickness known in the 『Virtual Chat』.
It was restricted by domain-setting [Skills], if one desires using it, battle field setup is necessary.
Usable on [Wakamou 1st floor] sure, yet it was more constraining a skill than anticipated.
‘They all appeal to me though…..’
[Acquired skill [Projection Setting]!]
‘Can’t resist being invisible’
Invisible paths are perhaps a man’s dream.
[Illusions] can be made, a perfect skill to hide the body.
With countless ways to utilize it,
Being so highly popular these days,
Now this is available, no need to be cautious anymore!
No more being subdued by the manager with joint locks anytime soon!
Already excited to use the newly acquired skill, Wakamou went up to the next floor humming.
Bzzzzz────!!!!
And as soon as he climbed the tower, an alarm blared loudly.
A piercing, high-pitched shrill akin to a disaster alert echoed repeatedly─ Deafened even as Wakamou pressed his hands tightly to his ears.
Hearing it vividly regardless of closed ears and seeing regardless of closed eyes added to his curses against it.
Even over his mutterings, the blaring noise persisted─ Until suddenly ceasing as the floor shook.
[Climbing the 43rd floor world of Incheon Tower]
-[Wakamou Inarizushi] The difficulty rises according to the achiever’s record!
-Overcome the [Ultra Elite Boss Monster]!
-Defeat [Spirit Aumakua Moo].
-Do so within 30 minutes!
[Platinum Conditions]
-Defeat [Spirit Aumakua Moo] within time limit (0/1)
Thud─!
Beep beep!
[Time Limit : 0:17]
“What happens if I don’t defeat it in time?”
[The Incheon 100-floor-tower collapses]
Wakamou’s face hardened at the sudden sense of urgency injected into the leisurely ascent.
Thankfully, viewers appeared oblivious, not reacting majorly.
If Wakamou were to fail, knowing the Incheon Tower will collapse… the chaos…
‘They’re committed to this trouble’
Wakamou was astounded, but not surprised by the tower’s high handedness, which now hit him full force.
Deeming one climbing failure worth collapsing the entire tower.
Whoooosh─
Lifting eyes, a wondrous cityscape unveiled.
Instead of modernity, it boasted intricate ancient civilization, breathtaking enough to daze Wakamou despite the pressing crisis.
Lost in this spectacle─ Out of the water emerged a giant water monitor lizard, splashing frantically along the river.
Synchronised with water, its swift agility incited Wakamou to immediately fire [Lightning], although it swiftly morphed into a fish, escaping.
Not even fighting, but fleeing?
Thundering─
Booming behind him spun Wakamou around to see the entire level collapsing.
Unable to fathom what lay below, foreboding depths teeming with curses and wavering in uncanny darkness incited viewers’ screams.
The mesmerizing view shattered like broken puzzle pieces, falling into the darkness below!
Wakamou broke into a sprint to counter this.
Imbuing [Idol’s Flesh] with mana flooded Wakamou’s body, he bombarded a continuous barrage of wind blades at the fish fleeing down the river, but its speed was unmatched.
-How is that so fast???
-Leader’s fast, but that’s on another level.
-This is Hawaii right? Just a landscape I saw.
-If this level is brought over, what a scenic spot.
-Leader, run more or you’ll get swallowed up!!
Clueless of the impending Incheon 100-floor tower collapse, viewers showed only concern for Wakamou.
Wakamou, unable to catch up pursuing a determined fleeing lizard, what happens?
Additionally, timing a wave attack as he dashed, clearly indicating intelligence.
[Time Limit : 17:42]
With nearly half the time elapsed, Wakamou’s fall.
The gecko, pausing curiously, captured sight of something startling.
An arrow accurately piercing the gecko’s body…
“Got it──!!”
Mei Xiao Long Bao’s ecstatic shout.
Riding a white fox with three tails sprinting crazily over the river’s surface.
-What’s happening??? Did Wakamou leader transform??
-Why isn’t it a black fox!!
-No seriously, pure furry right there!!
-Ugh, hate fur though….
-Where did Mei suddenly pop out from.
-Match considers this the same person, don’t you know that rule?
-Hey, that lizard dude is transforming!!
Transforming into a winged dragon, Moo roared shooting water cannons from its mouth that Wakamou sidestepped.
Buildings and trees were cleanly severed by the water pressure cutter, dodging returning arrows clutched in her hand, Mei nocked them again and fired relentlessly.
Fleeing backward upon the incoming arrows, Moo turned and began retreating again.
While taking hits on its wings, Mei attempted using lightning strikes to bring it down, yet Moo consistently reformed its wings with water, managing to fly far away.
Trying to follow, upon reaching the cliff, she faced the collapsing opposite side.
Using [Idol’s Wing Dress], the mana consumption was too extensive─ some alternative solution was essential.
“Uwaaah!!!”
Screaming at the sight of the collapsing landslide, appealing cries simultaneously echoed Wakamou, who propelled himself hard off the ground, launching into the sky.
Soaring high into the clouds, swallowed by them, disappearing from view.
Viewers saw nothing but dark stormy clouds.
Their only awareness indicated movement by sound alone.
Eventually, the camera captured Moo high above the clouds.
But where was Wakamou?
Nowhere to be seen, completely invisible. But how?
Rumble──
From within the clouds erupted a downpour of lightning.
An ominous feeling accompanied bolts shooting upward, piercing half of Moo’s body.
Flap─!
And high above, bursting from within the storm, a gigantic black bird took flight.
Wielding [Three-Legged Crow] model borrowed from the Association President, Wakamou morphed into his VTuber form soaring above.
Riding atop the ascending Wakamou, Mei Xiao Long Bao unleashed bolts of lightning.
Spanning wings wider, enveloped in flames, the three-legged crow surged forward like an exploding jet.
Utilising [Video Recording] cameras for stabilization and lift, [Faith’s Weight] to minimize mass, [Idol’s Flame] for combustion, and [Idol’s Storm] generated wind made the enormous three-legged crow airborne.
Assuming birds naturally fly with wing flaps─ capitalizing on a gamble taken after a while regarding [skill]’s unbounded potential.
And it worked spectacularly.
Left alone with propulsion, it was able to fly!!
The three-legged crow, engulfed in dazzling white flames bright enough to reflect the sunlight, turned facing the closing storm, releasing water jets from Moo.
Performing a fierce air stunt, Wakamou accelerated into Moo with the identical force of a missile.
Entangled in the air, the dragon and crow clashed fiercely.
Biting deep into the bird’s neck while drawing electric strikes, Moo attacked.
Despite its neck grasped by the dragon, the three-legged crow scratched with its claws hoarsely squawking.
Mounted upon the crow, Mei unsheathed her sword and leaped up.
A collapsing world.
Within the receding light, rain pounding and furious winds howling dominated the atmosphere.
Brief light flashes from the storm momentarily illuminated their forms.
“Uwooorgh!!!”
Among the strikes, Mei channelled thunder into her strike, replicating the American Paladin’s “Smash”, embedding her sword into the dragon’s neck unleashing transparent fluids.
The dragon’s head toppled backwards, bereft of strength, and the three-legged crow rolled overturning, perching atop.
Leveraging this foothold, Wakamou soared upwards metamorphosing into Sammiho plunging with force, inhaling deeply.
Transitioning from Sammiho to Wakamou Inarizushi once again while ascending.
Activated [Faith’s Weight] maximally, the accelerating descent struck with full impact.
Boom─!!
Exploding like a water balloon stretching and tearing apart, bursting rippling across the aquatic spirit.
[Time Limit : 25:31]
“Yikes”
The impact sent Mei stumbling and falling beneath the dragon’s body.
“Phew….”
[The Incheon Tower 43rd floor opens to all humanity upon achieving platinum conditions!!]
[Bonus increases due to platinum strategy raid on the tower!]
[Additional 10 ability points are granted to the climber]
It was incredibly close.
Truly─ Chasing and defeating a fleeing adversary was a rare experience, instilling long-forgotten anxiety.
Could viewers perhaps see Wakamou just effortlessly flying around?
It looked simple but actually combined 4 VTuber skills into a single combination!!
Wakamou had some pre-conceived strategies, though didn’t foresee executing them so rashly, feeling cold sweat trickle.
Promising to collapse the Incheon 100-floor tower─ Had the tower really gone mad?
Nevertheless, victory was his. Again, Wakamou overcame the tower.
Was their intent truly malicious this time?
‘Let’s see what reward they offer…’

“What the????”
Unfathomably astonished at this unexpected reward.
No way, was it really possible to host large-sized viewer participations..!!
“……Seems I don’t have to play horror games alone anymore!!”
Wakamou thanked the tower.
Imagine tackling them with 100 people, all laughing together, nothing would be frightening!
Yeah, there’s nothing to fear anymore….
VTuber broadcasts truly overflow with dreams and hopes!!
