"Hoo... I don't think they got that much bigger, but it does feel a bit uncomfortable."

The clothes that used to fit perfectly now feel a bit tight. There aren't many visible changes, but there's definitely a sense of added weight.

• Show us properly

• I'll diagnose you. Please lower your clothes a bit

• These bastards just wanna see more lol

• Now this is what I'm talking about!

• Bwaaaaaaaaaa~

• Nice and firm

• Looks like you'd raise a baby just fine lol

• Looks like you went up one or two cup sizes

"Anyway, that's it for today. I'm heading home now. I'll end the stream from home."

Ending streams at home is now a standard rule for Lee Dohee.

Shoooong~

Her body is briefly enveloped in weightlessness as she's transported to the central plaza of the tower.

As soon as she steps out, as expected, she's greeted by a massive crowd.

"Excuse me, coming through."

She tries to stay calm, but the people who see her certainly aren't.

"Waaaaah!!!"

"She looks even hotter in person..."

Click click!!

Camera flashes go off as she's instantly swarmed by a crowd.

"Kyaa!! Please wait a second!!!"

The first to rush over are reporters.

"Miss Lee Dohee, what's your secret to being the world's first SS-rank?"

"Have you decided which guild you'll join?"

"Is it true you got pregnant with a goblin's child?"

"Did you really use your SS reward just to increase your bust size?"

"Do you know your actions are negatively affecting children's mental health?"

It seems like her SS-rank achievement on the third floor made her a huge topic among Awakeners rather than normal people.

But why are there so many false rumors?

If they actually watched the stream, they wouldn't be asking this kind of crap...

And what does children's mental health have to do with anything? Tower streams automatically switch to adult mode if any 19+ activity is detected.

"Anyway, I'm heading through now~ I'll talk about it more on tomorrow's stream!!"

"Please, just a quick comment!!"

Next up are her so-called fans.

Squeeze!

"Kyaa! Don't touch me there!"

"Lee Dohee's tits are real deal titties!!"

"Did he really just grope her?"

"Freakin' psycho..."

"Guys, this is reality! Stop it!"

"Hehehe, look at that plump ass..."

"You guys know your faces are all on camera, right..."

Thanks to a few people regaining their sanity and stepping in, she barely manages to escape the chaotic plaza.

Someone had slipped their hand between her boobs, others groped her butt subtly, but in the chaos, all she could do was focus on getting out.

"Wait, what the hell is this?"

On her way home, she feels something in her cleavage. Pulling it out, she finds a 50,000 won bill.

• lolololol

• Did someone just donate IRL? lol

• Who the hell did that?

• Was it the guy who grabbed her boobs?

• Dude, it was all on stream. Ballsy AF lol

• They’re all Awakeners anyway lol

• Typical Korean Awakeners lol

• Can I grope her if I pay 50,000 won?

"Are you crazy? Whoever groped me better donate 1 million won tomorrow or I’m reporting you. Your choice!"

• Only 1 million?

• Hmm... for that price...

• Will you let me grope you for 1 million won?

• Officers, we have some future sex offenders here!

After surviving that real-world harassment, she finally makes it back home.

The way the security guards look at her is slightly off, but it can’t be helped. She's become so famous that even they know about her now.

"Phew... what a day. Thank you all for watching. Big thanks to those who woke me up with alarms, donated, and stayed to the end. I’ll get some rest and see you around the same time tomorrow. Baba~"

• Doba~

• Rest well

• Good job today

• You stole my weekend!

• Legendary stream today lol

• Doba~

• Doba

Lee Dohee’s stream ended after just two days.

​

Meanwhile, as she gained fame, so did curiosity about her past...

[Tower Climber Support Gallery]

[Title]: Anyone know Lee Dohee’s past?

[Post]: The way she fights makes no sense.

I’m currently on the 12th floor, and even with double her stats, I couldn’t fight like that.

Something’s definitely weird about that chick.

[Replies]:

• Maybe she learned martial arts somewhere?

• She said it herself, it's just a “talent” gap lol

• Isn't this world super unfair?

└ Yeah, but remember she got totally wrecked by that goblin...

└ Ah.... lol

└ We’re just here to enjoy the show

• Don’t be jealous

[Title]: I think this is probably Lee Dohee’s backstory

[Post]: Her “mysterious guardian” is either:

1. A father figure who raised her

2. Her actual dad

Likely a high-level Awakener who trained her in martial arts since childhood.

But one day, he died or went missing while climbing the Tower.

Now she’s in the Tower trying to find him.

Apparently a lot of people enter the Tower to search for family who went missing inside.

Why? Because you don’t know for sure if they’re dead or alive.

There was someone who returned from the 3rd floor after 5 years, and some have even run into long-lost people inside.

So some cling to that faint hope...

[Replies]:

• That’s kinda sad if it’s true

• I heard she lives in a government-supported housing complex?

└ Do we know what kind?

└ Just says it's run by the Victim Support Center for severe sex crimes

└ Huh? Then...

└ Maybe she actually went through something awful?

└ With that body, it’s possible she really was assaulted...

• Someone’s writing fan fiction now

• Honestly though, her weapon handling is way too good for a newbie. The guardian theory makes sense

• What if she really did get assaulted, trained herself, and now she’s out for revenge?

└ That sounds more believable, but I still think the guardian was real

└ Man, I’m even more confused now

• Just go write a novel already, dumbass

​

People were curious about her past, but of course, Lee Dohee doesn’t have a past.

At most, she once walked around town naked. But after her scandalous goblin sex tape, even that didn’t make much of a splash.

Meanwhile, at that moment...

"Yeah, no need to make a fool of myself in front of viewers. Come forth!"

You only gain access to your inventory after clearing the 10th floor, but bound manuals like this can be summoned mid-air at any time.

"Ahem... let’s see here..."

Opening the first page reveals a portrait of a woman with dazzling blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Oooh..."

She’s gorgeous.

Her eyes are slightly sharp like a cat’s, but overall, she’s very beautiful.

Next to it is a full-body photo in uniform—her figure is amazing too.

"Oooh... is this the Empress?"

So noble.

And yet, there's a strangely arousing quality to her.

It makes you want to drown that proud and arrogant face in overwhelming pleasure...

After thoroughly admiring her from head to toe, she flips the page, expecting actual training content—

"Huh... why is there no content?"

There's no explanation about how to train or what to do.

All that's on the first page is an erotic illustration.

Irene is in a proper posture, passionately engaging in rhythmic motion with a man.

The aloof, regal face she imagined just a moment ago is now completely immersed in pleasure.

"I mean, it’s hot, but... where are the instructions?"

Progress: 0%

"What the hell is this even supposed to be?"

Flipping through page after page reveals only erotic illustrations. Various positions and even different species.

"Oh... um... oh wow..."

Not just humanoid races like orcs and goblins, but giant spiders, tentacles, centaurs, enormous bees—basically anything in the world with a phallus, even plants.

As she keeps flipping, a strange warmth begins to stir in her lower belly.

"No, I came here to train..."

Then, by accident, her hand brushes one of the illustrations—

[Irene Style No. 36: How to Train While Being Gangbanged by Orcs]

Would you like to practice this technique? If accepted, you will be transported to a subspace.

Please note that time in subspace flows the same as in reality.

"......"

So this is what it is.

It’s a little different from other manuals.

Normally, manuals include both textual instructions and diagrams to show how to practice them.

But even if you train with a manual, if you haven’t obtained its trait, it's useless. That’s because a normal human body simply can’t use it.

Let’s take the famous Heavenly Demon Divine Art as an example.

Even if you obtained a copy and memorized it completely, you couldn’t do anything with it.

Even if you had internal energy, it wouldn't work.

You could never use something like the Demon Lord's Steps in a human body.

Why? Because the organs necessary to use that martial art don’t exist in our bodies.

Those so-called “heavenly meridians” or “sealed acupoints” only exist in novels or alternate versions of humans—not in reality.

In other words, even with inner power, the body structure isn’t built to use martial arts.

That’s where Tower rewards come in—like the Awakener’s status window.

When you register a manual or learn a skill, your body is automatically modified to make the skill usable.

That’s why you can only use skills registered in the status window—because it creates the necessary structure inside you.

But even if it’s in your status window, that doesn’t mean you can use it right away. The window only creates the organs—it’s still up to you to learn and refine the technique.

Same with magic.

Even if I remembered how to use Magic Missile in a past life, even if my body and mind remembered, even with mana—I still couldn’t use it.

For the same reason.

I don’t have the organ to cast Magic Missile.

Asking me to use magic from a past life is like asking someone who reincarnated from a bird to fly.

Of course, there are rare exceptions to this rule, but in general, if you didn’t learn it from the Tower, you can’t use it.

That’s how Awakener training and learning works.

But this manual is different.

It’s a subspace experience format... No wonder it’s an S-rank manual.

How the hell do you even train with this?

Now that it’s registered to me, I can use it... but I have no clue how.

What if I enter the subspace blindly and get utterly f*cked? I’m not brave enough for that.

And if my viewers find out I trained with this alone, the backlash would be insane.

‘If I’m gonna swallow my pride and train with it, I might as well make some money too.’

Shame vs. money.

Obviously, money wins... right?

‘Wait, am I seriously thinking this? Is my brain okay?’

The goblin incident was shameful too, but all those donations felt really good.

‘Yeah, it’s all sex anyway, right?’

In the past, I might’ve cared. But with 10 million people having already seen it, does it even matter?

Honestly, I don’t know.

But what I do know is, if I train in secret, I’ll get crucified. Best case, I get flamed. Worst case, it’s an actual riot.

‘Alright, I’ll just stream it...’

​

After that, she took a rare day off to rest at home.

She spent it exploring other streamers—female cam streamers, VTubers, gaming, even Awakener content.

She jotted down anything that seemed worth learning.

‘Yeah, I’ve definitely been too focused on training...’

There’s work every streamer should do.

Starting a YouTube channel, making a fan cafe, developing reactions, hiring editors...

‘So much to do...’

Even though she said she’d rest, she ended up working anyway.

‘Is this what work addiction feels like?’

Feels like her habits from a past life carried over.

She spent the whole day thinking about content and watching streams, then had some fresh tuna kimchi stew the landlady brought and went to bed early.

​

10 a.m. the next day.

[Lee Dohee has started streaming: Train with Lee Dohee!!]

She begins her stream from home a bit earlier than usual.

• Dohee~

• Did you sleep well?

• Dohee, there’s so much fake news about you right now lol

• Doha doha

• Did you just wake up and go live?

• Doha

• Damn journalists writing articles based on garbage community posts lol

"Hello~~"

The chat’s already blowing up. With her past shrouded in mystery, fake rumors are spreading everywhere.

She expected it and she has a plan.

"Alright everyone, I’ll make a fan cafe. There’ll be a section just for fake news—post all the fake articles there."

It’s linked to PantheonTV. Unlike the old green-company cafes, this one has better readability and looser moderation, so most streamers are switching.

• Finally lol

• Knew this day would come

• Time to wreck those trash journalists

She models the fan cafe after a famous YouTuber she saw yesterday.

Art board, gif gallery, free talk—just the essentials for now.

'Benchmarking what works is just smart.'

But the biggest reason for creating it—

"Alright, forget fake news for a second. This is the important part! Focus, everyone!"

[Lee Dohee Growth Research Board]

• ???

• What is that?

• What’s that board for?

• I have no idea lol

Even she doesn’t know everything. A lot has changed in the past five years, and tons of new info has come out.

You can look it up, sure, but it takes time.

Basically, doing it all alone is super inefficient.

"This board is for your suggestions. Recommend efficient, cost-effective potions, manuals, skill books—whatever helps me grow."

She might make the wrong call alone. There could be better options out there. So she’s crowdsourcing.

It’s also better to spend time training than searching.

If all her viewers were perverts, she wouldn’t do this. But surprisingly, a lot of them had solid knowledge.

And it makes for great content.

"I’ll eat what you suggest, learn what you recommend. You all help me grow. I’ll be an Awakener who levels up with her viewers!"

Pure immersion.

Instead of just watching, they feel pride in helping her grow.

A lot of VTubers she watched yesterday do the same.

"The Lee Dohee you build will one day reach the top of the Tower!"

• Kyaaa

• Flap~

• An Awakener I created?

• Damn... I can’t miss this

• That dopamine hit must be insane

• Even we jobless folks have something to do now

• Time to monitor the Awakener market 24/7

• Growing together... this is actually cool

But she wasn’t done yet.

"So, first—I'll keep my promise. I’m going to train with Irene’s S-rank manual, right now!!"
