Awakened One Credit Loan of 100 Million Won.
General Credit Loan of 30 Million Won.
Government Awakened One Support Loan of 100 Million Won.
Awakened One Support Funds of 20 Million Won.
1st Floor Clear Credit Loan of 20 Million Won.
In the past, processing these things would have required visiting the bank in person, but these days, it can all be done quickly with a single click from home.
And adding to that the 20 million won I struggled to earn today while being sexually harassed and the approximately 16 million won in government support funds I already had, [Tower Bank: Remaining Balance 296,645,002 Won]
"Wow..."
- Crazy...
- Why suddenly take out a loan?
- What? Is that balance for real?
- Wow, some people get access to amounts of money they'll never see in their lifetime just for being Awakened Ones lol
- If you're jealous, you guys should try it too ^^
- Guys, most of that is loans... you have to pay it back, why are you talking about it like it's all support money?
Ignoring the fiercely burning chat window, I immediately enter the Awakened One Market.
'There's no way I can manage the 2nd floor with this body anyway.'
I survived the 1st floor's gimmick of just getting beat up thanks to my defense stat focus and my past life experience, but from the next floor onwards, the battles begin. They will keep attacking, targeting my sluggish body, and I will die if I cannot retaliate.
'I have to eat everything I can get my hands on.'
Unlike in the past when I only window-shopped, I am already fully verified from climbing the Tower. I quickly purchase the elixirs I had been thinking about in advance. [Hobgoblin Inner Core: 20,000,000 Won]
Only effective for strength and agility stats below 30, and valid for a maximum of 1.
Strength Stat +1
Agility Stat +1
[Earth Golem Core: 30,000,000 Won]
The core of an earth golem that occurs naturally. Can be taken when the defense stat is 20 or below, and valid for a maximum of 1.
Defense +1
[Leinster Family's Lesser Elixir: 40,000,000 Won]
The most basic elixir made by the Leinster family. Effective when all stats are below 20, and valid for a maximum of 1.
Strength +1
Agility +1
Defense +1
First, I buy the ones with good value for money. As with all products, value for money is important, but the price is also determined by rarity, so an expensive elixir is not necessarily a good one.
- Crazy, how much are you spending?
- My head hurts....
- WTF
- You were really 'serious' about the Tower, huh?
- Damn, if you die after all this, who's going to pay back the money lol
- But they won't give out loans like that these days unless you climb the Tower.
- Wow... crazy.
"Everyone, it's not over yet. I'm going to spend it all today."
[Blue Mane Wolf Heart: 50,000,000 Won]

[Drake Refined Blood: 100,000,000 Won]
Drake blood refined and mixed with evening primrose in the right ratio. Can be taken when the agility stat is 12 or below. Valid for a maximum of 1.
Agility +2
All of them are elixirs that you can't benefit from later if you don't eat them early.
'No wonder it costs so much to raise one newbie...'
It's not easy to raise a new Awakened One even if a decent large company sponsors them. Even if you pour money into them like this and feed them all the good stuff, most of them die along the way.
"Hoo... That should be enough. I'm out of money now... Should I just stop here for now?"
[Tower Bank: Remaining Balance 6,645,002 Won]
The account balance that was close to 300 million won instantly dropped to 6 million won.
- Wow...
- You're really serious about the Tower.
- 300 million just evaporates, damn.
- Awakened Ones really spend money differently.
- Just watching the money go out makes me dizzy;;
- A woman who is serious about the Tower. Tower-serious girl.
"Please give me lots of support in the future!!"
I stand up again and bow deeply.
After that, the donations exploded again. Although not as many donations came in as when I was being sexually harassed, this time the donation messages were mostly filled wi heartwarming words of blessing.
Yes, this is the normal Awakened One streamer broadcast I originally envisioned.
After a short period of donation time passed.
"And there's something else to do today. Let's go out for now."
In fact, the main content for today is outdoor broadcasting.
When I get up, the black disc-shaped camera on top of the computer automatically follows me up.
- ????
- Going out?
- Outdoor broadcast??
- Really going out?
- Address.....
"Ugh, you all know it anyway, right? Masan Building Room 203. Come if you want~"
There's no way to stop the address from spreading. I'm already short on money and even taking out loans, so I have no intention of abandoning a house that's completely free for
year and moving.
- lololol crazy bitch
- You'll get caught if you go there, guys...
- Did you see that review?
- Yeah, I can't go anyway~ damn.
- That place is really famous lol
When I open the door to my house and go down to the first floor, I see the security guards who nod lightly to me.
I turn on the function to automatically mosaic the faces of everyone except me in the broadcast settings and turn the camera around to face the other way.
"Alright~ Can you see? Come and try to break through here if you can!"
I can just say it with confidence at this point.
Huge security guards wearing blue vests are armed and keeping a tight watch from the entrance.
- Crazy, where is this place that they're like that?
- Look at those beefcakes;;
- Would you even go if you were them?
- Damn, is this the presidential office?
- Is this a national secret security area?
- What kind of building is it that they're doing this;;
- Damn, that's not a handgun, is it?
- It's probably a gas gun.... Right? lol
"Well~ That's classified, so I can't say. Then shall we go to our destination?"
I turn the camera back to me and confidently go outside.
My destination is the Awakened One-only training center.
As befits an Awakened One-only training center, it is located near the Tower, about a 10-minute walk from my house.
"If you happen to come, I'll immediately unblur your face and display it for all to see. Everyone just watch from inside your homes. Got it?"
- Yep
- After all, keyboard warriors are only strong at home lol
- They'll probably freeze up and not be able to say anything if they actually meet you lol
- I'll just watch from afar.
- I'm going to go there right now and fuck you like an animal (This message has been deleted)
- Ugh, hold it in lol
-So where are you going?
"You think you can just eat elixirs? You have to train!"
Today, I'm going to meet him and go there.
Choi Tae-soo.
The person who runs the Awakened One training center where I trained and exercised together in my past life until I died.
I searched for him yesterday just in case, and he was still there.
'Let's go see if the punk has grown up well?'
The first encounter with a connection from my past life.
He won't recognize me, but that's okay. I can just become friends with him from now on.
*
10 minutes later.
I was worried that a few people might try to find me by force, but fortunately, that didn't happen.
People who seemed to recognize me glanced at me from afar, but no one came up to me and said anything strange.
Even when I went through the police station where I used to get caught in the middle, the people who were following me disappeared in an instant.
And that's how I arrived at the Awakened One-only training center.
"Huh? What's all this?"
The state of the building is strange.
The exterior walls of the training center, which uses the entire 4-story building, were sloppily painted with red spray paint with ominous words such as 'Sex Offender', 'Murdere
Die', 'Rapist Die', and 'Criminal Bastard'.
"What is it?"
Did something happen to him in the meantime?
- Huh? That's.....
- Don't go there, Do-hee.
- NOOOOO
- Don't go there;;
- Ah, that place?
- NOOO
The viewers seem to know what happened.
'That can't be...'
Despite the viewers' opposition, I ignore them and go inside the building.
'Tae-soo wouldn't do that...'
He is someone who has been running the training center more diligently and conscientiously than anyone else. I can't believe he's a criminal. I'll see with my own two eyes and
judge.
-Ding~
Still doing business, the door opens and I go inside.
'Oh? There he is?'
Choi Tae-soo is sitting alone at the counter.
Even though he is sitting, his bear-like massive physique and his completely swollen muscular body seem to be threatening. His expression is also not good, so just being still is
threatening.
There are no customers exercising inside, so a chilly air blows.
But, I will change the atmosphere.
"Um, hello?"
'Long time no see, you punk.'
I walk closer to him, look into his eyes, and greet him happily.
"Who are you?"
He was spacing out, but he looks at me, widens his eyes, and is surprised.
'Hehehe, your friend has returned as an ultimate beauty, you bastard!'
"I'm here to register?"
A smile spreads across my face at the thought of teasing him while exercising.
However, as soon as I say I'm going to register, his facial expression changes drastically.
An expression as if he were looking at an enemy. Is this what a beast feels like when it's angry?
"I don't accept women. Get out right now!!!"
"Huh? Where does that exist?"
What is this suddenly?
Clearly, in my past life, he said that training was very important for women, and he even obtained a women-only secret manual and tried to increase the number of female
members by offering special discounts for women.
But suddenly he's rejecting women??
'I thought he'd be happy that a woman came!'
"It exists, so get out!!!"
"No, wait a minute. Just... hey!"
In the end, when I stand my ground, he forcibly pushes me out.
He is also a high-ranking Awakened One who has climbed up to the 49th floor. I put strength in my feet and stand my ground, but I am pushed away powerlessly, lose my balan
and barely manage to avoid falling to the floor.
-Ding~
"Don't even think about coming in here, you woman!!!"
He goes back with an angry face, puffing and panting, with a cheerful door sound.
"No... guys, what is this?"
'I was supposed to get a free one-month trial for women....?'
I was forcibly kicked out without knowing why. Why all of a sudden? When did that guy become a misogynist?
- lololol
- I told you not to go.
- But it's unexpected that he would reject you right away, shouldn't he have accepted you?
- The pervert would usually be smiling and saying welcome, but his expression is dark;;
Did something happen in the meantime?
*
About 5 years ago.
After Lee Do-hyun's death, Choi Tae-soo felt something was strange.
'Do-hyun is dead? That's absolutely impossible...'
It doesn't make sense that he would die. Choi Tae-soo also knew that he was a transcendent being who had escaped death, so he couldn't understand it.
And even if he had died, the movements of other large guilds were too suspicious.
Record erasure.
Records about Lee Do-hyun were disappearing one by one.
When he asked the reason, he only received vague answers such as, 'He is an enemy who betrayed humanity. But the matter is too serious to be made public.'
Later, it changed to 'He died in battle with a boss monster.'
Choi Tae-soo, unable to understand, continued to investigate on his own, but...
The giant guild that noticed this attacked Choi Tae-soo in reverse.
Attacking him was very easy.
His trait
Thinking that the trait of a supporter type would be more helpful in raising subordinates outside than in actual combat, he created an Awakened One-only training center instead
climbing the Tower.
So, at the request of female members, he would sometimes touch areas such as their thighs or arms to increase the effectiveness of their workouts, but they used that to buy off some women and frame him as a sex offender.
By the time he revealed all of his traits and received a not-guilty verdict in court, the media and the public had long branded him as a sex offender.
When the trial, which went all the way to the Supreme Court over 1-2 years, ended in acquittal, another woman repeatedly exposed that he had sexually harassed her, so the pub
didn't even bother to look into the case properly and threw stones, saying, 'Again? It's that guy again?' Even his acquittal was reported by various media outlets as 'The tyranny of a high-ranking Awakened One', and women's groups even held protests.
After that, he refused all female Awakened Ones, but the reversed public sentiment could not be explained, and he was in a helpless state, not knowing who to take revenge on.
*
"Humm..... Is that so?"
- Yes
So don't go.
- Do-hee, that's not the place.
- Even if you want to be sexually harassed, that's not the place.
- Don't go.
- I know you're a perverted bitch, but that's a bit much;;
- Listen when I tell you not to go.
All the public knows is that Choi Tae-soo committed a sexual crime and was sued. Of course, I don't believe that at all. And I think it's a lie because I roughly know his trait and
why he was caught up in such a controversy.
"I don't want to? I'm going to go?"
In the end, I trust my judgment. Ignoring the viewers, I open the door and go inside again.
And
I was kicked out once again.
I was thrown out onto the street like a piece of luggage.
-Thud!
"Guaaack!!"
- No, crazy;;;
- lololololol
- Choi Tae-soo is now equality between men and women lol
- How to throw a woman lol
- Threw her away with such a disgusted expression, damn.
"Ugh...."
'Damn it, Choi Tae-soo, you bastard... Even if I try to take your side...'
And there's a reason why I have to go here. 'That's the skill book I gave him!!!'
One of the rewards obtained from conquering the 70th floor.
[S-Rank Irene's Women's Body Training Secret Manual]
A women's training manual created by the first empress of the Arcadia Empire.
Details can be found upon attribution.
Valid Target (0/1), Bound Item.
A secret manual that can only be used by one person.
Since I couldn't use it in the past anyway, and the women who have already completed their growth are using secret manuals that are suitable for them, I gave it to Choi Tae-soo
secretly give it to a woman he likes later.
I'm worried that the details of the secret manual are undisclosed, but I'm not in a position to be picky right now.
What's more, I got a lifetime free membership by giving that.
So....
'Give me back what's mine, you bastard!'
I charged again, but as expected, I was kicked out in the same way and thrown onto the asphalt floor.
-Thud!
"Ugh...!"
I fall backwards with my legs spread wide and my butt sticking up.
- lololol
- I told you to go somewhere else lol
- That bastard is stubborn too, I would have taken it right away if I were him.
- If it was me, I would have picked it up right away...
-000
- Tae-soo, throw it one more time.
I need to change my strategy.
