The Fox God VTuber Climbing the Tower

Chapter 7




A Firestorm You Should Never Start… I Set Fire To It.

Of course, the unfathomable internet community is bound to tear into the one who starts the fire.

Especially if that person is big. No matter how hard and earnestly someone works, they might be criticized out of jealousy or ruthlessly driven to their death. Indeed, in this civilized modern age, the internet is truly a savage era… There are even instances of brain-blowing lawsuits making you wonder if they are real humans as they repeatedly make foolish mistakes.

But still, it’s fine!

“If I just draw all the aggro, isn’t that all I need to do?”

Like some online predator. It was better to give up on becoming a proper VTuber anyway.

From the beginning, I’m just an incompetent Clipper who luckily became a ‘VTuber’ by chance!

No bleeding talent or outstanding effort!!

What is a VTuber anyway… Even if you cover your face, didn’t they capture attention through streams with a character and concept that suits them, through singing, art, and gaming skills, fascinating people with entertaining speech, voices that naturally blend into everyday life, dopamine-filled stories, and unique content?

This is hell.

Once groomed and polished, even gems of outstanding talent can’t endure the trials early on and get swept away. The most vicious ones are those shaking newly hatched streamers. Thus, no manager or the like is placed in the chatroom. It might become a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah, but it’s of no concern.

I’m only worried about other VTubers becoming inconvenienced because of me!!

Fearful of the potential impact, I went through with the scheduled collaboration. It was a terrible crisis and disaster, but it was the best opportunity for some. There were those who captivated viewers by showcasing their talents and eloquence. – Sadly, such talent does not exist for Wakamou Inarizushi!

How would it feel to be a zealous fan cheering underground for an idol who suddenly becomes a top idol at the peak of popularity and returns to support their underground performance?

No way. Isn’t this like greedily picking up popularity that fell from a vending machine?

What if someone sees me comfortably doing VTuber stuff and decides this isn’t right, losing enthusiasm, and quits VTubing?

“Seppuku is the only way…!!”

I squeeze my eyes shut, swallowing my sadness with effort. No matter how much I think, only the idea of a pitiful aggro VTuber comes to mind!! How many other VTubers are in this field? Do they frequently drop sexual jokes? That requires the talent to walk the line without crossing it and still be entertaining. A certain neighboring Fox Deity is not only good at games but also good with lines, sings well, and demonstrates a level of talent akin to a “God-descended.” But I’m a fake.

To recognize me as a VTuber?

I can’t accept it… I’ll stab you, Wakamou!!

What kind of qualifications do you have to become a VTuber and freeload like this? Apologize to all the VTubers!!

“If one streams like a VTuber, one might be called a VTuber… But aspiring other VTubers or having sincere dreams, my talents are different from those truly serious and diligent ones! Perseverance is different! Ideals are different! Determination is different! You must be strong! If you want to become a VTuber, you must be strong!!”

How long did it take to harshly whip myself?

It was a kind of commitment and resolve.

It’s not enough to merely burn your home.

Even though I did the scheduled collaboration, capturing clips and interacting in some manner with viewers and broadcasters, it became a nuisance. It was a gain for some and an opportunity. Hoping more viewers would come in from this, and more people would recognize the hardworking VTubers, but in the end, it only embarrassed them. Isn’t this akin to betrayal?

What a disgrace to the name of Clipper… Is this shame…

“Alas, seppuku!!”

Unable to endure the feeling of shame, I poked my gut with a hand knife.

It’s not about asking for forgiveness… It’s about paying the price for defiling the honor of VTubers…!

But even when a hand knife was stuck in my belly, no intestines spilled out, only Mana was draining without even bleeding.

No need for sleep, no need for breath, always maintaining peak condition was being realized to this level.

With this, Plan B of hanging myself wouldn’t work at all…

[Status Screen]

[Climber: Wakamou Inarizushi]

[Occupation: VTuber]

[Age: 1,000 years old]

[Stats]

Magic: 867.

Remaining lifespan approximately 14.45 minutes.

The recent seppuku reduced it quite a lot.

Why did the Mana decrease so much…?

We have to go back to the time when I opened up 27 VTuber Broadcasts at once.

While doing that, watching archived videos I couldn’t watch and simultaneously watching other live-streaming VTubers, I opened around 40 windows with the top-tier skill of no-look editing, resulting in a swift drain from 140,000 Mana.

To consider the subscriber increase amidst that, I almost died while watching a broadcast!

If only that had happened, Wakamou! Though there might be regrets in life, I’d have been satisfied!

[Currently climbing the 4th floor of Incheon Tower World]

-Don’t be deceived by the appearance of the monster in the Tower [Feral Deer], let’s hunt it!

[Platinum Achievement Conditions]

-Catch up and overtake [Feral Deer] (1/1)

-Defeat [Feral Deer] without inflicting wounds (0/1)

-Block or deflect [Feral Deer]’s [Rend and Tear] (0/1)

“Geez, these conditions are damn annoying.”

Wakamou, standing alone in the wide-open field on the 4th floor, sighed upon seeing the clear conditions. Even at this moment, Mana was rapidly depleting. That’s because Wakamou had the live broadcast running in order to debut as a VTuber.

Thankfully, I thought if the internet worked, [Video Shooting] might operate like a camera, and it was possible.

-Open the door, Leader!!!

-Shouldn’t you start with an apology broadcast?

-If you’re not real, shouldn’t you be killed?

-Open.

-No, but how did you get an ID? Did you kill and steal it?

-The.

-Doors.

-I argued with those dissing the Leader. Did well, right?

-Please share some stock info ㅠㅠ

It’s a real pandemonium. Because of those who rushed upon hearing the news, I didn’t even turn on the broadcast, but there were 6,000 viewers, so I didn’t want to. But you can’t deny reality forever… After pondering for a moment, Wakamou put his hands on his waist and turned on the broadcast.

“It’s me, bastards.”

-Excuse my rudeness, but aren’t you tremendously rude?

-Considering the age, isn’t it okay to be rude?

-I’m really curious if it smells like a chicken coop.

-I’m moved to tears that our Leader is debuting as a VTuber!!

-When a Clipper loves a VTuber, it leads to a debut… I really love that bittersweet story.

-Really realistic 3D modeling feels like reality!!

-The Earth Online class is insane, for real.

“From today, I’m debuting as the VTuber Wakamou Inarizushi! But gentlemen! Unlike your expectations, I have no intention of doing VTuber seriously!! The damn Tower forcibly stuffed me into VTuber!!”

-Though it’s our first meeting, you’re being brutally honest.

-Feels like a real military discharge, is this correct?

-(TMI) At the Leader’s age, born during the Goryeo period, after winning the Yeo Yu War was a heyday.

-In an era when scholars hunted tigers, it seems a Fox became the king!

-Got an idea of Dangun’s furry preference… Let me escape at once!!

-I see it daily, yet I’m always amazed, damn!

-Oh say, having seen this Tower, abandon all hope!

-Hidden fox girl apprehended by the Tower lol sitcom.

Should I freeze the rapidly ascending chat, or change it to subscriber-only… When I think about it, I didn’t even bother setting that up because I didn’t need the money. Applying a slow mode, there were new, innocent viewers asking why donations weren’t available, making me sigh deeply.
“Donations? I don’t take those. If you’re thinking of donating here, go donate to another VTuber! On my channel, find your own preference! I’ve categorized them for you! From VTubers with great singing skills, unique concepts, gaming prowess, to famous corporate VTubers from overseas!”

-Leader, wouldn’t it be better if you collected that money and donated it to VTubers?

“What?”

-Haha, look at that dumbfounded face 😂

-Why are you even getting convinced by that?

-This guy, with all the donations he’s got, has probably thought of a hundred places to invest it.

-For your information, the number of VTubers Leader is subscribed to is three hundred.

-Damn! This guy is beyond insane!!

-Should we be grateful that he’s not an actual human but a beast?

-Is it because he’s a God that his stocks are skyrocketing?

“Ugh… Get a grip! Wakamou!! Don’t let yourself be swayed by the nonsense of those who come here instead of watching other VTubers!! But honestly, I do agree with those saying I’m just copying the Fox Deity concept. And since all I can do as a Fox Deity is scratch my belly while wasting time watching YouTube, I’ll let it go.”

-If you’re that kind of Fox Deity, shouldn’t you be more relaxed???

-Have I unknowingly reached the same level as gods…?

-Relatable, a godly level of stupidity, you dumb Leader!!

-Why would someone climbing the Tower even have a collaboration meeting tomorrow!!

-By the way, is this a red pill moment? What’s with the VTuber? Seriously asking because I don’t know?

-But isn’t climbing the Tower dangerous? Are you sure it’s okay?

Surprisingly enough, there weren’t any rules against broadcasting inside the Tower.

It’s a sight only Climbers can see. A world filled with untouched, pure nature. Although the seemingly vast space is limited, often blocked by invisible walls. However, it’s believed that herbs, fruits, animals, and ores underground exist here.

So, all gathered here were swearing at Wakamou, yet watching with “one interest.”

As more people wondered if he’d stop the broadcast, they started lowering their tone, asking questions, and curious if he could open a donation. Some viewers were even affectionately asking what color his underwear was.

Yeah, every VTuber broadcast needs that one guy.

I didn’t mind if it was directed at me, but I silently decided to remember the ID and add it to the blacklist just in case he tries this at other broadcasts.

“Why climb the Tower, you ask? Because when the Tower is conquered, this nation will prosper…! The trickle-down effect is dead, you say? Shut up. Yeah… I’ve found my limit in stocks and as a Clipper. By climbing the Tower!! I’ll bring peace to the country!! So everyone will watch VTuber broadcasts!! Do you know why the number of viewers for our beloved VTubers is declining? It’s because of the Tower!!”

-Sounds crazy, but somehow convincing.

SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1Y2VIUWZiVkQ1UHFPVnhKWjVSVlBpeUR5ZkU1NXhkZUxLWFA4NTBTUzdZdQ

-The chairman who has alone stirred a grassroots revival movement for five years.

-I thought he was just a smooth talker wealthy guy, but he’s a revolutionary comrade!

-Getting all fiery, is this right? Should we stand up or something?

-Damn… tackling the Tower is good, but is this direction really right?

-What kind of insane Clipper climbs the Tower because VTuber viewers are decreasing?

-They say there might be a God on the top floor of the 100-story Tower, is this really okay?

“Then I’ll just have to fight that God!!”

The momentary silence in the viewer comments was probably because they were overwhelmed by the charisma that made his clothes flutter.

Was it because they realized this guy wasn’t like them?

“As a Tower Climbing VTuber!! I debuted as a VTuber who hogs the fun for himself!! So no donations from you Believers. Why? Just think!! I’m the only one constantly benefitting from content!! That’s too unfair!! Stepping over the efforts of countless VTubers… So I won’t engage with the audience. I’ll!! Do!! As I please with my broadcast.”

-Can’t tell what’s different from usual.

-Seriously, such unwavering VTuber passion, what a loving nutjob.

-Truly a devoted fan who uplifts broadcast info as soon as they wake up.

-Meanwhile, this guy uploaded 3 edited videos to his channel.

-So, is he really a Fox Deity???

His aspirations were clear. But thinking about it, it seemed the debut as a VTuber was a failure. Is this liquid flowing from my eyes… tears?

There’s a saying that despair grows a VTuber. There’s no choice but to diligently broadcast daily to improve skills.

If my broadcast is uncomfortable, adjust your posture!!

-But what’s the Leader doing standing there?

“Huh? Oh… just waiting for surpassing.”

Even while broadcasting, he was doing everything he had to. Should we say he’s become used to multitasking daily?

The viewers were surprised, impressed, and puzzled, watching the full-speed “Peril Deer” rush toward him. This world’s Monster. Always information in pictures or text, if at all. Even being able to take photographs depends on being in a certain class.

The audience truly felt the vividness of seeing inside the Tower.

Seeing the sharp deer antlers charging as if to pierce, and watching the Leader take a stance, they focused on the screen.

“Karate Chop─!!”

-Wow, he’s not from Korea but Tang Dynasty?

-I pay respect to the karate master.

-Wait, wasn’t he supposed to use magic!!!

-Leader, you sure you didn’t lie about your age???

How come the technique used by the supposed Fox Deity wasn’t magic but a karate chop? Knowing about Climbers should have him saying there’s no such Skill!!

However, shattering the oncoming horn, and smashing the head to break the neck, with a palm strike that buried the massive charging deer into the ground.

The sight of the deer’s torso buried in the ground! Not CGI, but overwhelming reality..!

Calling this a VTuber broadcast feels like a stretch, doesn’t it?!

Yet, due to the overwhelming violence, they decided not to nitpick on that.

If nothing else, everyone realized from the first broadcast that this Leader was a fanatic insanely devoted to VTubers!

“Awww! Today’s broadcast ends here! Dismissed!! End!!”

-Couldn’t tell if it’s Chinese, Korean, or Japanese made.

-Looking at his name Wakamou, maybe all three?

-They say a death stone shattered in Japan; this is truly a disaster in the streaming world.

-No, this isn’t a VTuber broadcast, it’s a live disaster broadcast [Permanently banned user].

-Leader! I believe it’s a VTuber broadcast! Even my Poppy acknowledges it!

-Save me! Save me!

“Wakamou VTuber Broadcast! Watch if you want. Now that it’s over, get lost”

Truly absurd was the audacious debut of the Fox Deity, shamelessly claiming to be a VTuber with what might easily be seen as blackmail and Tower climbing.

The viewers were about to blow their tops off from darned frustration, but seeing the Climber’s power, they acquiesced.

Honestly, from their standpoint, if more broadcasts become available, it doesn’t matter at all, does it?
