Mana enhancement and aura enhancement.
When I swung the wooden sword enhanced by both, the last max-level tree fell along with it.
Declaration. Humanity has achieved total victory over the max-level trees.
It is said that the exploits of humanity’s strongest maid were key.
“V.”
Over the past year, I cut down and processed every tree.
There was nothing better for raising my proficiency in techniques.
Mana and aura. If there was one thing I realized anew while handling those two powers, it was that a maid’s dignity was incredible.
‘Maintains you in optimal condition.’
This effect contained within a maid’s dignity was not a skill that simply ended at keeping me from getting tired.
Whether mana or aura, even if I used up everything I had gathered, it quickly filled back up.
No matter how recklessly I wasted it, it recovered endlessly.
The problem was that this “optimal condition” was still weak.
It felt like having unlimited money on a card, but being unable to make a payment over one million won at a time.
Still, this much was amazing. Thanks to it, there were no limits to my practice.
“The framework is all done now.”
[Many Constellations send their praise.]
While training, I went ahead and tried building a house too.
It was only connected with wood and vines, so it was barely more than a skeleton, but little by little, it began to take proper shape.
Goal. A grand mansion that the strongest maid would not be ashamed to live in.
I could get other materials later. For now, I should do as much as I could with wood.
“I’m going to become a master carpenter.”
[Many Constellations cheer you on.]
Since the frame of the house was done, it was time to make furniture.
I didn’t need any special tools or machinery.
After all, maid was a great profession that could become either a delicate small tool or heavy equipment.
As I made chairs, tables, and all sorts of furniture, time flew by.
「You have acquired Woodworking (E).」
After continuing to make things, I even gained a skill.
I thought I had been making them well, but once I got the skill, my eyes changed.
I had contracted an illness.
An illness that left me no choice but to tear down the frame of the house I had worked so hard to build, and dismantle the furniture too.
[Many Constellations express their confusion.]
The name of the illness was My House Sucks disease.
The only cure was to build an amazing house that my aesthetic sense could not deny.
And so I spent my time building the house again and making furniture.
When two years had passed since I entered the Tower, I succeeded in overcoming My House Sucks disease.
“This is the finest house befitting the strongest maid.”
[Many Constellations bestow blessings upon you.]
Wow. Housewarming gifts.
Watching the ingredients come pouring down, I realized a problem.
The house had no refrigerator.
I could store them in the subspace, but I still didn’t know how to take things out.
Hmm. It’d be annoying to preserve them with ice magic all day, so how on earth was I supposed to use the subspace?
For now, I expressed my thanks.
“Thank you. I’ll enjoy them. You must come visit my house someday.”
[Many Constellations despair.]
“??”
Why are they despairing? Is my house still a little lacking?
I put my heart and soul into making it, but it might still be lacking to the Constellations’ aesthetic sense.
I’ll reinforce it later when I get other materials.
“Shall I slowly focus on training again?”
[The Fist Saint of the Heavens cheers.]
This time, I focused on physical training.
Thanks to the teachings of the Watcher and the Sage, my proficiency in handling mana and aura had risen, but I still felt a little lacking when it came to handling my enhanced body.
Fortunately, the Fist Saint of the Heavens said he would teach me how to use my body.
“I’ll be in your care, Fist Saint.”
[The Fist Saint of the Heavens cheers fiercely.]
After moving my body under the Fist Saint’s teachings for another few hours,
I finally reached the realm of utilizing 140% of my body.
[You have acquired Physical Utilization (E).]
[The Fist Saint of the Heavens is shocked.]
Let’s live flexibly from now on. Let’s respond flexibly to everything in the world.
With that thought in mind, I continued my swordsmanship training too.
I engraved in my mind the image of a sword that would not break in any situation, but continue flowing flexibly.
「You have acquired Swordsmanship (E).」
[The Watcher of the Sword Realm cheers.]
Come to think of it, the quality of the Wooden Calibur I built for the Watcher feels a little lacking.
I spent time reinforcing Wooden Calibur by putting all the techniques I had learned to use.
Before I knew it, Wooden Calibur had surpassed sixty meters in height, and I had become plenty accustomed to controlling the flow of power.
“This is my heart. Father.”
[The Watcher of the Sword Realm is deeply moved.]
[Many Constellations want temples built for them.]
“But there are no trees left now.”
[Many Constellations despair.]
“I’ll make them for you later when I get materials.”
I’m going to become a master maid.
Training continued.
***
Five years after Han Yuyeon entered the Tower.
The Constellation Gallery, which had been absorbed in raising Han Yuyeon, was currently in an uproar.
The speed at which Han Yuyeon achieved technical accomplishments with her tremendous talent was astonishing enough, but her physical growth was also anything but ordinary.
[Title: I’m warning you. Please stop growing.]
Author: FarmingIsGood
(Picture of a well-developed Han Yuyeon)
Yuyeon, I love you no matter what you look like
So don’t misunderstand and listen to me
Would you please stop growing here...?
If you get any bigger, it’ll be too much... please...
- Boing lolololol
- We raised her on only the good stuff and she grew up very nicely ^^
- Let’s keep going just like this!
ㄴ FarmingIsGood)What do you mean keep going just like this, fuck
Six years.
Did FarmingIsGood’s wish reach Han Yuyeon?
Han Yuyeon stopped growing physically.
Her realm had risen, and she had completely escaped aging.
[Title: Okay, Han Yuyeon analysis complete]
Author: Explainer
Han Yuyeon. You have become strong. Strong enough to challenge a divine seat someday.
Now go smash Hell Difficulty.
And
(Picture of Han Yuyeon causing trouble)
It’s puberty.
We’re fucked, Sage.
- Halarchive)Hehehehehe
ㄴ Explainer)Don’t laugh, I’m serious
ㄴ SwordDad)Hehehehe
ㄴ BambooSpearLab)Lolololol
ㄴLookingForGems)Khehehehe
ㄴ Explainer)You bastards
Seven years.
Han Yuyeon, who had been training repeatedly, seemed to realize something and altered her maid outfit.
Into a design that openly exposed the upper chest, burning the hearts of parents.
[Title: Yuyeon, why are you suddenly doing this...?]
Author: FarmingIsGood
(Picture of Han Yuyeon exposing her upper chest)
Um... good. It’s good, but why are you suddenly doing this
Did you perhaps remember what “chicken” is???
- SwordDad)Gasp.
- Halarchive)Huhh.
- PainOfCreation)I don’t have any S-rank ingredients left now;;
- BambooSpearLab)We’re fucked, emergency!!!
- Explainer)No, my Yuyeon!!!
As they had for the past seven years, every Constellation focused their gaze even more intensely on Han Yuyeon.
Han Yuyeon noticed their gazes, raised one hand toward the sky in a V, then put her hand between her cleavage, and—
- No, Yuyeon!!!
- Everyone close your eyes!!!
Leaving the Constellations’ screams behind, a tree popped out from between her cleavage.
- SwordDad)?
- Halarchive)??
- FarmingIsGood)???
“VV.”
Han Yuyeon.
Understanding of the maid’s subspace pocket complete.
***
Earth. Tower Gallery.
A place that had put Han Yuyeon on the gallery’s front page and began holding regular worship sessions.
When two years had passed since Han Yuyeon entered Hell Difficulty and held out, they had already held a funeral for her in their hearts.
[Isn’t it about time she’s eaten through all the trees now]
[You worked hard all this time, GodGodYeon...]
However, Han Yuyeon did not die.
Two years and one month. Two months. Six months. All the way until it finally became three years.
[GodGodGod, I’m seriously curious, how are you holding out?]
[Does GodGodGod look like a pushover to you? You think she’d die to something like the Tower?]
A name with not even a trace of it left.
They worshiped Han Yuyeon like a god and made jokes, but they knew it too.
That in the end, Han Yuyeon was not a god but a human.
That as long as she was human, she could not hold out forever...
And so another four years passed.
[Whenever I think of GodGodGodGod, I can’t get any food down...]
[The reason I can peacefully eat chicken like this must all be thanks to GodGodGodGod...]
[I thought of GodGodGodGod on the way home and made a donation]
Five years.
[We hereby announce that from now on, “Han Yuyeon” is a word above “GodGodGodGodGod.”]
[Humanity’s GOAT, Han Yuyeon, sob sob sobㅠㅠㅠ]
Six years.
At last, a post casting doubt appeared.
[Title: Isn’t something kind of weird by now? What if she’s already dead, but a bug is keeping her from being dragged out?]
Author: PowerAnalyst
Realistically, how do you survive six years on the first floor
No matter how good a supply skill is, that should be impossible, and she must have eaten everything edible by now
Even if she was enduring by eating tree bark or something, wouldn’t six years be impossible?
Maybe the Tower just bugged out
It was already strange from the moment it suddenly dragged in a ten-year-old kid
- Are you saying that Han Yuyeon lost to something like the Tower?
ㄴ PowerAnalyst)No no;
- Are you saying that Han Yuyeon, humanity’s GOAT who endured six years for the sake of people, has passed away?
ㄴ PowerAnalyst)No, fuck, I like Han Yuyeon too
ㄴ Talking casually? Is Han Yuyeon your friend???
ㄴ (Burn them! Mage con)
ㄴ (I’ll kill you... Swordsman con)
ㄴ (Heretic interrogation! Priest con)
ㄴ PowerAnalyst)Save me
The post casting doubt did have some credibility, but it was not enough to shake public opinion in the Tower Gallery.
Because faith and love toward Han Yuyeon had already filled not only the Tower Gallery, but all of humanity.
[Thanks to Lady Yuyeon, my daughter got an exemption ticket too...]
[It feels fucking powerless that there’s no way for me to help]
[Ha, fuck, I want to smash that damn Tower to pieces]
At last, seven years.
A broadcast suddenly began from the Tower.
[Hell Difficulty Climber - Han Yuyeon (Maid) (17 years old) (2nd Floor)]
A broadcast announcing Han Yuyeon’s survival and challenge.
Naturally, the Tower Gallery could not help but go wild.
People living their own everyday lives had no choice but to enter the Tower Gallery as if possessed.
Because Han Yuyeon was the hottest topic on Earth right now.
[Title: Hey, Hell is being broadcast right now?]
Author: NotAScammer
I believed. I believed that Lady Han Yuyeon would be alive.
I never doubted it. I knew Lady Han Yuyeon would not lose to the Tower.
- Kiiiiyaahou, Lady Han Yuyeon is alive!!!!!!!!!!!
ㄴ ?? This bastard’s a heretic. Hang him.
ㄴ (Burn them! Mage con)
ㄴ Honestly, I almost said I doubted too~
ㄴ Hang this bastard too
ㄴ (Make them drink water! Priest con)
ㄴ (Heretic interrogation! Priest con)
Humanity’s everyday life came to a halt.
Everyone’s time focused on Han Yuyeon.
How was she alive? What did she look like now?
Worry was mixed into that curiosity.
[Title: Is she going to the second floor because there’s really nothing left to eat now...?]
Author: PowerAnalyst
Otherwise, if she’s held out until now, there’d be no reason to go to the second floor
The second floor of Hell Difficulty is seriously a hell that can’t even be compared to the first floor
What if she really held out and held out until she couldn’t anymore, and now she’s finally going up to the second floor?
- This bastard always only says anxious stuff
ㄴ PowerAnalyst)No, it’s the facts
ㄴ The fact is that me beating you to death is the fact
ㄴ PowerAnalyst)Calm down;;
PowerAnalyst’s words were correct to some extent.
They did not know how she had endured seven years on a rest floor, but if she had held out until now, there was little reason for her to go up to the second floor.
Either she had truly run out of food and was going up because she could no longer endure, or she could not endure the lonely time and was going to choose death.
And so, even as they denounced disbelief as heresy, everyone sank into tension. Then, at last, Han Yuyeon’s figure began to appear on the broadcast.
