Chapter 35
I head straight for Floor 9.
"Okay~~ here we go!!"
As I challenge the next floor, the Tower's blessing completely restores my body, even clearing away the foreign sensation I had been feeling inside.
This time, I start with the chat window open beside me as well.
- Fuck, she's fighting while watching the chat?
- Do-hee, aren't you being way too careless?
Of course, some people are worried, but I know how dangerous Floor 9 is, so I can go through it as casually as taking a walk.
The theme of Floor 9 is retrying and training.
As the name suggests, this is a floor where you can train by retrying challenges. Since a boss monster is guaranteed to appear every ten floors, you're meant to train sufficiently here before moving on.
There are rules and rewards for retrying, but they aren't important to me.
"Kraaaaaaaa!!!"
The monsters that appeared at the start were nothing more than two orc warriors.
"Ha, it feels like they're just playing around with me."
I charge between the orcs with my longsword in hand.
Without slowing down, I accelerate even further and leap between the orcs.
Slash!
I spin once in midair, behead both orcs in a single blow, and finish the fight.
[You have passed the Tower's Trial]
- ?
- Uh;;; excuse me?
- How the hell did she do that????
- It's normally easy, but is this really okay?
- That's fucking cool.
- What's easy about it? If that had been a cock, you'd be deadㅋㅋㅋ
- Wow...... She killed two of them with one blow?
- Where's the deep thrusting from an orc's huge cock...?
- Oh, there goes the service scene;;
"Ahem, what do you mean, service scene! Who would do something like that? I won't deliberately lose and let anyone do that to me."
- No (I'll do it later)
- This bitch is raising another flag? You'd better lose by force.
- LMAOOOO
- She's 100% going to do it laterㅋㅋㅋ
The reward theme for Floor 9 is enhancement.
You can upgrade rewards of B grade or lower from the lower floors to A grade. You could say this floor makes up for a poor result on the lower floors.
"I'll use this on Holy Power recovery."
Holy Power recovery increases from 1 to 2 per hour.
"Next floor, right away!"
- Damn.
- This is insane.
- I've never seen anyone climb the Tower like this.
- Seriously, she absolutely doesn't look like she'll lose.
That's right.
I absolutely won't lose now.
Since the boss monsters on every tenth floor are always the same ones, I won't get screwed over by bad luck either.
- I want to knock down that cocky bitch.
- Can't she get screwed over by bad luck or something?;;
The boss of Floor 10 is a troll.
"Gwooooooaar!!!"
It is about three meters tall, with far greater destructive power than an orc and thick hide that can withstand ordinary blades.
And above all, its regenerative ability is absurdly strong.
If you don't have enough power to finish off a troll in one blow, this is an extremely difficult floor to clear.
"I'll show you how to finish it in one shot with a spear."
- This isn't the Tower we know, is it?
- The genre suddenly changedㅋㅋㅋ
- Where did the growth drama go, where she struggles like hell and barely manages to turn things aroundㅋㅋㅋ
The troll comes running at me, holding a wooden club as tall as I am.
'I can see more clearly.'
Now that my agility has increased, it feels as though the world has slowed down slightly.
Where the troll is looking, how much force it is using as it runs,
and when it is going to raise its club.
When I can see the opponent's movements, I can see the future.
It's not merely a matter of seeing.
It is the combat experience I've accumulated and a perfect understanding of the opponent's body and way of thinking.
And the 'talent' to understand all of that and draw a conclusion.
Now.
The moment the troll raises its club.
As though I'd been waiting for that moment, I rapidly kick off and charge forward, piercing through the troll's neck in one swift motion.
- Crack!!
Its thick neck muscles tear apart, and its neck bones break.
The spear pierces through its neck and emerges on the other side. As it collapses, I easily release the spear and step aside.
"Finished!"
- 'Finished,' my ass.
- Ha.... This bitch is at her best when she loses and gets thoroughly fucked.
- Yeah, hurry up and climb.
- Where's the infinite-ejaculation breeding-pregnancy sex with the troll?
- Hurry up through this newbie floor, then get forcibly used up above.
- Ah.... Why is she so good at fighting? Fuck.
- The newbie crusher went down in one shot;;
- I told you, she moves like a work of art.
"All right, enough with the weird comments! I wonder what kind of reward we'll get this time?"
The reward for Floor 10 is a class.
In my previous life, I obtained the class called Conqueror of the Battlefield here.
Of course, I was a special case. Most people receive a class related to the weapon they use if they mainly use that same weapon.
For example, a swordsman who uses Plum Blossom Swordsmanship gets Plum Blossom Swordsman, while someone who mainly uses fire magic gets Flame Mage. The name is assigned according to their combat style.
Naturally, even after a class is determined, it can evolve or be enhanced at Floors 30 and 50, so there's no need to despair if you get a terrible class.
"Come on!! Please appear!!"
- Please let it be Whore.
- Paladin is the most likely.
- Could it be something like Lancer?
- Since she's a lewd priest, it could turn out to be something weird again.
"......"
[You have cleared Floor 10. A reward will be granted...]
"Please!!"
[Your class is
- Please, Whore.
- Is there a class called Flesh Toilet?
- Please give her something sexy.
- Is there a class like Toilet for Sexual Relief?
- The chat is full of nothing but pervertsㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I wait quietly, holding my spear and staring at the dark sky.
[......]
- ??
- Why is it taking so long?
- The administrators must be horrified after seeing what this bitch has been up to.
Then,
a huge beam of light, a mixture of purple and pink, descends forcefully from the sky.
"Ohhh...?"
- Rumble...
It feels like I've become a character in a gacha game or something.
And immediately after the light descends,
the beautiful voice of a woman presumed to be an administrator rings out clearly.
[Your class is
Holy Spear Whore
!]
"Oh.... Oh? Holy Spear Whore?"
It's a class I've never heard of before.
There are hundreds of classes granted by the Tower, but as far as I know, there was no such class as Holy Spear Whore.
- Oh, it's Whore!
- Holy Spear Whore?
- Is that a good thing?
- ????
- Um... Tower, don't you provide the hanja too?
- Does it mean a sexy woman who sells her body?
- No, isn't it just a holy female spearman?
- What is it? It doesn't show up even when I search it;;
'What is this...'
At first, I naturally thought it meant a woman holding a spear, but the meaning is far too ambiguous.
I want to interpret it in the favorable sense if possible, but since my previous class was <Lewd Priest>, even I am confused about this.
It would be nice if the Chinese characters were provided in situations like this, but the Tower didn't provide them.
"Ahem... shall I just open my status window and take a look?"
<Holy Spear Whore>
Holy Power + 50%
Lust Power + 50%
Power increases by 20% when using spear-based weapons.
"Ohhhh...!!! Wait a second... it raises my unique stat?"
In fact, other classes also have bonuses to Holy Power and weapon power.
But it increases Lust Power by 50%?
"Wow~~! Is that why it took so long? As expected, administrators... you have such great taste~"
These lovely administrators.
It seems it took so long because they were making a new class perfectly suited to me.
'Hehehe... I guess the administrators like me?'
- Wow, nothing surprises me anymore.
- Fuuuuuck, some of us don't even have a unique stat~
- LMAOOOOOOOO
- What a fucking cheater.
- Congratsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- As expected of Lee Do-hee.
- The taste of sucking this bitch really is incredible.
- No, I've never seen a class that boosts a unique stat before, fuckㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I've gained far too much today.
It feels as though the world is favoring me so absurdly that I have to wonder whether this is really okay.
'Those administrator bastards... they were nice after all?'
In my previous life, I wasn't on particularly good terms with the Tower's administrators.
Whether I tried to break through the Tower's outer wall or called an administrator over to pick a fight... I was usually the one who couldn't overcome my curiosity and interest, and ended up clashing with them over various matters.
Of course, I had reasons for picking fights with them, but even before receiving the Floor 8 reward, I didn't like the administrators very much.
'I like them a little more now.'
- But does that make her a whore? Or just a woman who uses a spear?
- Look at the trait. Can't you see the Lust Power? Obviously she's a whore.
- Considering everything she's done so far, she really is a whore.
- Ahem, seeing how well she uses a spear, she seems more like a spearman.
- She's dressed like a whore, so how can you call her a spearmanㅋㅋㅋ
'What the hell are these idiots arguing about now...?'
While I was thinking about the Tower's administrators, these idiots had started arguing over whether Holy Spear Whore meant a woman who wielded a sacred spear or simply a sexy woman who sold her body.
"Good grief... everyone, don't argue over something so strange. Since it has a 20% spear bonus, it obviously means a woman who uses a spear."
- Then what about the Lust Power?
- Seriously, it has a unique stat attached, though??
- They just gave her the word spear because the name is the same. The actual meaning is a woman who sells her body, I'm telling you.
They must have decided to tease me no matter what.
"Hmph, your logic is lacking. Lust Power was added because my Holy Power itself is based on my unique trait. In the Korean term for Holy Power, the seong is 聖, and my unique stat changed Holy Power itself, didn't it? Besides, I've never sold my body, so what are you talking about? Floor 10 grants a class based on the performance you've shown in the Tower so far. Understood?"
- Damn.
- ......
- Seriously, where did these people who don't know the first thing about the Tower come from, trying to force this ridiculous talking point?
- I know you want to sexually harass her, but don't force it.
- Haters, you're done!!
"A woman who wields a sacred spear! That's what it means. What do you think? Isn't it cool?"
- It is, but... why am I still pissed off?
- Yeah.
- Should I say, Lee Do-hee, you're so cool!!!?
- It is kind of cool...
- Is that really what 'sacred' means?
- I don't want to admit it, but I admit it, you bitch.
After getting the viewers to settle down, I finally leave the Tower.
I was a little too mentally exhausted to deal with the Constellation contract and look around the neutral village on Floor 10.
"I'll do the Constellation contract tomorrow, when my head is working a little better. I'd like to rest for today."
You can make a Constellation contract at the central temple in the neutral village.
To do that, I have to enter the neutral village, and there are various registrations and other things to take care of, so it is somewhat complicated and time-consuming.
By the time I come outside, it is already dawn.
Given the hour, I ignore the idiotic questions of the few reporters and push my way outside.
'How the hell did these bastards even get in here?'
But one reporter doggedly follows after me and grabs hold of my pant leg...
- Swish!
"Eek!! What kind of pervert..."
No, with my pants this short, what am I supposed to do if someone actually grabs them? I had left my damp panties on Floor 8, and in front of the reporters, my most private parts nearly ended up completely exposed.
Fortunately(?), with only my butt showing, I barely managed to keep my pants from falling off.
- Click, click, click!!!
At that moment, the reporters following me unleash a barrage of flashes.
"You... you crazy people!!"
A female reporter who has grabbed my pants steps forward.
With a shameless expression, as if she had done nothing wrong, she asks me a question.
"Ms. Lee Do-hee, please confirm this fact. Is it true that you have experience with prostitution?"
"What? What are you talking about...?"
If the one who had grabbed my pants hadn't been a woman, I would have immediately planted a kick between her legs.
- Ugh, what's wrong with that bitch?
- Didn't she look at the sexual-status window? There isn't a purer virgin than Do-hee.
- Pure? Virgin?
- If it had been a man, I'd report him for sexual harassment immediately...
- Why did it have to be a female reporter grabbing and pulling her pants?
- Do-hee isn't wearing panties, so you can see...
- Oh?
- Do-hee's ass is getting exposed again like a gaping asshole.
- Give her a womb punch, Do-hee.
The question was such an absurd fabrication that I was about to answer, but another reporter cuts in.
"Ms. Lee Do-hee, are you aware that you have seriously violated the criminal law of the Republic of Korea? Illegal distribution of obscene materials can be punished under Articles 243 and 244 of the Criminal Act and the Information and Communications Act!! Are you aware that what you are doing right now also constitutes public indecency?"
"No, that was on Pantheon TV... and you people are the ones who stripped me!"
"Ms. Lee Do-hee! Are you aware that minors have been exposed to obscene material because of your distribution...?"
"Have you still not decided which of the six major guilds you will join?"
"Do you have no intention of apologizing for tarnishing Korea's honor?"
"Ugh, fuck..."
Not a single one of their questions is normal.
Dealing with these people would never end. Their goal isn't to write genuine articles, but to exhaust and annoy me.
Why are the reporters acting like this?
'Those bastards from the major guilds have gotten even dirtier with their methods.'
An attack on a promising newcomer.
Since I had ignored every guild-invitation message they had sent me so far, they must be getting desperate too.
It had always been like this.
In the past, they seemed to exercise a little restraint because I was around, but whenever a promising newcomer appeared, they would attack them with these petty tactics until they joined a major guild, then soothe and recruit them by saying nothing like this would happen after they joined their guild.
A classic carrot-and-stick strategy.
'As expected, the massive Korean guilds really do need to fall...'
By stripping off my pants, I had confirmed the downfall of Korea's major guilds.
"Let go of this!"
Unfortunately, I can't use violence against ordinary civilians.
Ignoring the reporters, I pull up my pants and sprint home. Now that my body has improved, I quickly leave the reporters behind and arrive home.
*
Now that I'm home, I should start wrapping up the broadcast.
"Phew... today was tough too. How many floors did I climb in a single day? From Floor 4 to Floor 10, that was seriously fucking hard work."
- Good work.
- Seriously, we made history today.
- She really did change the history of Tower climbingㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- Floor 8 was also the world's first simultaneous Triple-S clear. It got buried under the other news, but that's a huge achievement too.
- Today's achievements are going in the national history textbooks, seriously.
- Guys, stop overreacting. What history...?
- Still, today was pretty legendary, yeah.
"I'll get plenty of rest today and turn the stream on late tomorrow. Good night, everyone!"
- Bye-bye.
- Sleep well.
- Dream about me.
- Yeah, fuck off, cheater.
- LMAOOOO
- Cheater Lee Do-hee, step down~ Boo~~
- Hold a fan meeting, please.
I end the broadcast while watching the chat, where excessive praise and excessive hate exist simultaneously.
***
And the next day.
"Phew... these bastards. They're really pulling every trick in the book, aren't they?"
YBN : [Shocking: Did the world's first SSS-grade reward come from prostitution?]
SKS : [Illegal from the Start. Is It Really Okay to Distribute Obscene Material Featuring an Awakener?]
Giant News : [The Uncomfortable Truth About Lee Do-hee, the World's First Female Awakener to Achieve a World-First Feat]
Women's Newspaper : [The Dark Desires of Men Projected onto a Female Awakener]
There were some favorable articles too, but a flood of negative articles poured out at once, as though everyone had coordinated late last night.
"All right, let's really get started. Let's see who wins."
It may be a little early, but this is actually an opportunity.
It would be difficult to find evidence that they betrayed me and buried me in the past. But with this body?
I can't destroy the major guilds and bring them down simply because I dislike them.
That's why I need to provoke them instead.
'Attack me more. So I can destroy you.'
Although the reporters were paid to flood the media with articles like that, making my image look terrible, public sentiment among ordinary people and those with even the slightest interest in the Tower is at an all-time high.
'It's not that I couldn't wage a public-opinion war. I simply hadn't done it before.'
At last, the time has come for me to exercise the influence I hold over the public for the first time.
"Starting the broadcast!"
[Lee Do-hee has started a broadcast : 101 Reasons You'll Get Screwed If You Join a Mega-Guild]
I don't use petty tricks like cowardly pussy bitches do.
I'll call them out openly.
