Chapter 35: The Holy Spearwoman I headed straight for the 9th floor.
"Alright~~ Let's get to it!!"
As I challenged the next floor, the Tower's blessing completely healed my body. The foreign sensation I felt inside vanished, leaving me feeling clean.
This time, I started with the chat window open on the side.
- Holy shit, she's gonna fight while reading chat? - Do-hee, aren't you being a little too careless?
Of course, some people were worried, but I knew how dangerous the 9th floor was, so I knew it was fine to treat it like a walk in the park.
The theme of the 9th floor was Retrial and Training.
It was a floor where you could literally retrain and practice. Since a boss monster was guaranteed to appear every ten floors, this floor was meant for you to train sufficiently before moving on.
There were rules and rewards for retrying, but they didn't matter to me.
"Kwoooaaaargh!!!"
The monsters that appeared right at the start were just two Orc Warriors.
"Ha, this feels like child's play."
I raised my longsword and charged into the gap between the orcs.
Without slowing down, I accelerated even more and leaped between them.
Slice—!
I spun once in mid-air, beheading both orcs in a single strike.
[You have passed the Tower's Trial.]
- ? - Uhm;;; excuse me? - What the hell just happened???? - It's supposed to be easy, but is this right? - Fucking badass. - Easy my ass, if it were Seong-gi he would've died lol - Wow... killing two of them in one shot? - Where's the part where she gets pounded by the orc's giant dick...? - Ah, the service scene is;;
"Ahem, what service scene! Who does that kind of thing? I'll never intentionally lose just to do something like that."
- Never (I'll do it later) - Is this bitch raising another flag? You better lose on purpose. - lolololol - 100% she'll do it later lol
The reward theme for the 9th floor was Enhancement.
You could upgrade rewards of B-grade or lower received on the early floors up to A-grade. You could say it was a floor that helped compensate for a weak start.
"I'll use this on my Divine Power recovery rate."
My Divine Power recovery rate increased from 1 to 2 per hour.
"On to the next floor, right away!"
- Damn. - She's insane. - Never seen anyone climb the Tower like this. - fr, it looks like she can't possibly lose.
That's right. As I am now, I will never lose.
The boss monsters on every tenth floor are always the same, so there's no chance of getting screwed over by some unfair bullshit.
- Ugh, I wanna take that confident bitch down. - Can't she get screwed over somewhere;;
The boss of the 10th floor was a Troll.
"Kuuwoooaaaaargh!!!"
A body about 3 meters tall. Destructive power far greater than an orc's. Thick hide that could shrug off most blades.
And above all, its regenerative ability was incredible.
If you didn't have the power to finish the troll in a single blow, it was a very difficult floor to beat.
"I'll show you how to end it in one shot with my spear."
- This isn't the Tower we know. - The genre suddenly changed lol - What happened to the growth drama where the protagonist struggles like hell and barely manages a comeback win? lol
The troll charged, holding a wooden club as tall as I was.
'I can see more clearly.'
With my increased agility, the world felt like it had slowed down a bit.
Where the troll's gaze was fixed, how much strength it was using to charge, and when it would raise its club.
When you can see your opponent's movements, you can see the future.
It wasn't just about seeing. It was the combat experience I'd accumulated, a perfect understanding of the opponent's body and mindset.
And the 'talent' to comprehend it all and draw a conclusion.
Now. The moment the troll lifted its club.
As if I'd been waiting for it, I simultaneously kicked off the ground and instantly pierced the troll's neck.
- Krr-crack!!
The creature's thick neck muscles tore, and its cervical vertebrae shattered.
The spear burst out the other side of its neck. As the creature collapsed, I let go of the spear and lightly dodged to the side.
"Done!"
- "Done" my ass. - Haa.... this bitch is only at her best when she's defeated and getting fucked senseless. - Yeah, just hurry up and climb. - Where's the endless ejaculation breeding impregnation sex with the troll? - She should clear these weakling floors quickly and get forcibly fucked on the upper floors. - Ah.... why is she so good at fighting? Shit. - The newbie crusher, taken down in one hit like that;; - Her movements are truly artistic, I'm telling you.
"Alright, alright, enough with the weird comments! Now, I wonder what reward I'll get this time?"
The reward for the 10th floor was a 'Job'.
In my past life, I obtained the job 'Ruler of the Battlefield' here.
Of course, my case was unusual. Most people get a job related to the weapon they use.
For example, a sword user who uses Plum Blossom Swordplay becomes a Plum Blossom Swordsman, and a mage who mains fire magic becomes a Flame Mage. The job is named according to your combat style.
Naturally, even after it's decided, it can evolve or be enhanced on the 30th or 50th floors, so there's no need to despair if you get a trash job.
"Alright!! Come on out!!"
- Please be 'Whore'. - 'Holy Knight' is the most likely. - Maybe something like 'Spear Knight'? - Since she was a 'Lewd Priestess', she might get something weird again.
"..."
[You have cleared the 10th floor. A reward will be granted...]
"Please!!"
[Your job is...]
- Please be 'Whore'! - Is there a job called 'Flesh Toilet'? - Please let it be something lewd. - Isn't there a job like 'Sex-Processing Toilet'? - There's nothing but perverts in the chat lol
I gripped my spear and waited, staring silently at the dark sky.
[...]
- ?? - Why's it taking so long? - The administrators are probably shocked after reviewing this bitch's actions.
Just then, a massive beam of light, a mix of purple and pink, descended powerfully from the sky.
"Ooh...?"
- Kwoong...
It felt like I'd become a character in a gacha game.
And right after the light descended, the clear voice of a beautiful woman, presumably an administrator, rang out.
[Your job is Holy Spearwoman!]
"Oh.... Ooh? Holy Spearwoman?"
It was a job I'd never heard of. The Tower offered hundreds of jobs, but as far as I knew, 'Holy Spearwoman' wasn't one of them.
- Oh, it's 'Whore'! - Holy Spearwoman? - Is that good? - ???? - Uh... Mr. Tower, do you not provide the Hanja characters? [Chinese characters used in Korean] - Does it mean a sexy bitch who sells her body? - No, isn't it just a holy spear-wielding woman? - What is it? I can't find it even when I search;;
'What is this...'
At first, I naturally assumed it meant a woman with a spear, but the meaning was too ambiguous.
I'd like to interpret it in a positive light, but since my previous job was
Normally, it would be helpful if the Hanja characters were provided in cases like this, but the Tower didn't offer them.
"Ahem... shall I just open my status window and take a look?"
"Oooh...!!! No, wait... it raises my unique stats?"
Truthfully, buffs to Divine Power or weapon power were common in other jobs. But a 50% increase to Lewdness?
"Wow~~! I guess this is why it took so long. As expected of the administrators... you have great taste~"
These lovely administrators. It seemed it took them a while because they were creating a new job perfectly suited for me.
'Hehehe... looks like those administrators have taken a liking to me.'
- Wow, I'm not even surprised anymore. - Shiiit, and some people don't even have unique stats~ - lolololololololol - Fucking cheater. - grats grats grats - As expected of Lee Do-hee. - Damn, stanning this bitch is a wild ride. - No, but seriously, I've never seen a job that buffs unique stats, holy shit lol
I'd gained so much today. It felt like the world was unfairly stanning me, to the point where I wondered if this was even okay.
'Those administrator bastards... they were good guys after all, weren't they?'
In my past life, I wasn't on such good terms with the Tower administrators.
Like trying to break the Tower's outer walls, or summoning an administrator just to pick a fight... We clashed over various things, mostly because I couldn't overcome my own curiosity.
Of course, I had my reasons for picking those fights, but I never really liked the administrators until I received the 8th-floor reward.
'Now, I'm starting to like them a little.'
- But so, is she a whore? Or a spear-wielding bitch? - Dude, look at the traits. Can't you see the Lewdness? Of course she's a whore. - Judging by everything she's done so far, 'whore' fits. - Hey now, seeing how well she uses a spear, it just feels like it means spearwoman. - Her outfit screams whore, what do you mean spearwoman lol
'What the hell are these bastards fighting about now...'
While I was thinking about the Tower administrators, these guys had started a debate over whether 'Holy Spearwoman' meant a holy spear-wielding woman or just a sexy woman who sells her body.
"Sigh... Guys, please don't argue about weird things. Seeing the 20% spear technique buff, it obviously means a woman who uses a spear."
- Then what about the Lewdness? - fr, it has a unique stat buff?? - They just gave her the spear buff because the name sounds the same, the real meaning is a bitch who sells her body, I'm telling you.
It seemed they were determined to tease me one way or another.
"Hmph, your logic is flawed. The Lewdness buff is there because my Divine Power itself is based on my unique trait. The 'Holy' in Divine Power has been altered by my unique stat, right? Besides, I've never sold my body, so what are you talking about? The 10th floor grants a job based on the performance you've shown in the Tower so far. Understood?"
- Damn. - ... - fr, where are these noobs who don't know the first thing about the Tower coming from, trying to force this stupid argument? - I get that you wanna sexually harass her, but don't force it. - Haters, get rekt!!
"'A woman who wields a holy spear!' That's exactly what it means. What do you think? Isn't it cool?"
- You're right... but why am I so pissed off again? - ye - Should I just say, 'Do-hee, you're so cool!!!'? - It is cool... - Is 'holy' really the right word for it? - I don't want to admit it, but I admit it, you fucking bitch.
After sorting out the viewers like that, I finally headed out of the Tower.
I was a bit too mentally exhausted to deal with Constellation contracts and exploring the 10th-floor neutral town.
"I'll come back tomorrow to handle the Constellation contracts when my head is clearer. I want to rest a bit today."
Constellation contracts could be made at the central temple in the neutral town. To do that, I'd have to enter the town, and there were various things to register, which was a bit complicated and time-consuming.
When I came out, it was already dawn. Maybe because of the time, I pushed past the few reporters there, ignoring their stupid questions.
'How the hell did these bastards get in here?'
But among them was one persistent reporter who followed me and grabbed the leg of my shorts...
- Swish!
"Kyaa!! What kind of pervert..."
No, my shorts were this short, how could they actually try to grab them? I'd left my damp panties behind on the 8th floor, so my private parts were almost completely exposed in front of the reporters.
Fortunately(?), I managed to catch them just as they were falling, exposing only my butt.
- Click-click-click-click!!!
And in that moment, the reporters following me unleashed a storm of camera flashes.
"You... you crazy people!!"
A female reporter stepped forward, still holding my shorts. She asked me a question with a shameless expression, as if she'd done nothing wrong.
"Ms. Lee Do-hee, please confirm the facts. Is it true that you have experience with prostitution?"
"What? What are you..." If the one grabbing my shorts hadn't been a woman, I would have kicked them straight in the balls.
- Ugh, what's wrong with that bitch? - Did she not see the Sex Status Window? There's no virgin as pure as Lee Do-hee. - Pu?re - If it were a man, she could report him for sexual harassment immediately... - Of all people, a female reporter had to be the one to pull down her pants. - Do-hee's not wearing panties, I can see... - Oh? - Do-hee's ass is getting exposed again like it's a wide-open hole. - Give her a womb punch, Do-hee.
The question was such pure fabrication that I was about to answer, but another reporter cut in.
"Ms. Lee Do-hee, are you aware that you have seriously violated the criminal code of the Republic of Korea? The illegal distribution of obscene materials is punishable under Articles 243 and 244 of the Criminal Act and the Information and Communications Network Act!! Are you aware that your current actions also constitute public indecency?"
"No, that's on Pantheon TV... and you're the ones who pulled my pants down!"
"Ms. Lee Do-hee! Because of your distribution of obscene materials, minors are..."
"Have you still not decided which of the Six Great Guilds you will join?"
"Do you have any intention of apologizing for tarnishing the honor of Korea?"
"Agh, fuck..."
Not a single one of them was a normal question. Dealing with these people would be endless. Their intention wasn't to write a real article, but to tire me out and harass me.
Why were the reporters acting like this? 'These big guild bastards, their methods have gotten even dirtier.'
An attack on a promising prospect. I'd ignored every single guild invitation they'd sent so far, so they must be getting impatient.
It was always like this. In the past, they held back a little because of me, but whenever a promising new talent appeared, they would attack them with these kinds of childish tactics until they joined a major guild. Then, they'd recruit them by soothingly promising that such things wouldn't happen anymore once they joined.
A classic carrot-and-stick strategy.
'As I thought, the great guilds of Korea deserve to fall...' By pulling down my shorts, they've sealed their own doom.
"Let go of me!" Unfortunately, I couldn't use violence against ordinary people.
Ignoring the reporters, I pulled up my shorts and ran home. With my improved physique, I instantly put distance between us and arrived home.
*
Now that I was home, I started to end the stream.
"Phew... today was tough. How many floors did I climb in one day? From the 4th to the 10th, it was a real struggle."
- Good work. - fr, you made history today. - You really changed the history of world Tower climbing lol - The 8th floor was the world's first simultaneous Triple S, too. It got buried by other topics, but that's also a huge achievement. - Today's achievements will be in the national history books now fr - Guys, stop overreacting, what history... - Still, today was legendary, yeah.
"I'm going to get a good rest today and start the stream late tomorrow. Good night, everyone!"
- byebye - g'night - Dream of me. - Yeah, fuck off, cheater. - lololol - Cheater Lee Do-hee, step down~ Boo~~ - Hold a fan meeting.
I ended the stream while looking at the chat, where die-hard fans and haters coexisted.
*
And the next day. "Hoo... these bastards. They're really trying everything, aren't they?"
YBN: [SHOCKING, Did She Obtain the World's First SSS-Rank Reward Through Prostitution?]
SKS: [Illegal From the Start. Is the Distribution of Awakener Pornography Okay As Is?]
Giant News: [The Uncomfortable Truth About Lee Do-hee, the Female Awakener Who Achieved a World First]
Women's Newspaper: [A Female Awakener Who Reflects the Dark Desires of Men]
There were some good articles, but a flood of negative ones poured out as if they'd all coordinated at dawn.
"Alright, let's get started for real. Let's see who wins."
It was a little early, but this was actually an opportunity.
It's hard to find evidence that they betrayed and buried me in the past. But with this body now?
I can't just crush and ruin the great guilds simply because I don't like them.
That's why I need to provoke them. 'Come on, attack me more. So I have a reason to crush you.'
Although it seemed like my image was suffering because reporters were being paid to pump out articles like that, public opinion among ordinary people and those with even a slight interest in the Tower was at an all-time high.
'It's not like I didn't fight a media war because I couldn't.'
The time had finally come to exercise the influence I had over the public for the first time.
"Start stream!"
[Lee Do-hee has started a stream: 101 Reasons Why Joining a Great Guild Will Fuck You Over]
I don't use childish tactics like those cowardly pussies.
I'll just call them out directly.
