Chapter 29: [Ring Fitness] Exercise from today! Time to get moving, Kim Yuki?!!! [Yuki/Lunaverse] (2)

[Mushroom Lv.2]

[■■■■■ 100%]

[Cardio] [Upper Body] [Lower Body] [Core]

The enemy appeared before me.

It looked like the kind of mushroom you’d see in that famous game with the plumber.

Except… this one had biceps that looked like it chugged an entire tub of steroids.

“Haaah… haaah…”

[Cardio]

Gasping for air, I chose cardio.

Doing any more strength training now would guarantee muscle pain, so I went with the least terrifying option.

[High knees]

[Burpees]

[Jumping jacks]

[Jump rope]

[…]

“Haaah… Which one’s the least evil…?”

– jump rope go

– anything’s fine

– those moans tho heeeung…

– ㅗㅜㅑ

– too lewd

– 🍌💦

– heeeeung

“Seriously… haah… quit with the lewd comments… haah…! You’re not helping… haah…!”

I’m literally dying here and they’re all going heeeung.

And what’s with the banana emojis…

Sure, I get it—my breathing sounds erotic, but damn, I still felt weirdly hurt by it.

▷[Jump rope]◁

I picked jump rope, and a visual tutorial popped up.

Hold the ring in your right hand and pretend to spin a rope while jumping.

Following the instructions, I held the ring and began jumping in place.

Tap, tap, tap, tap.

“Haaah… hhh—hah, fhhha…”

– oh sh*t

– yabe

– is this even a game or adult video

– ㅗㅜ… ㅑ…

– that tap tap tap got me thinking 🤔

– heeeeung…

– ㅗㅜㅑㅗㅜㅑ

– my juji is rising

– Rise! Juji, rise with her!!

My sweaty feet hit the wooden floor, creating lewd-sounding thuds.

And with breath caught in my throat, I involuntarily let out moans.

If someone muted the screen, they’d 100% mistake this for NSFW ASMR or a hentai audio drama.

[Almost there!]

[9… 8… 7…]

“Hah… hehhhf… Hheeeuugh…!”

– lmfao

– those moans are danger zone

– TSKR

– I’m dying lol

– had to switch to actual porn when mom came in

– this is too much

– heeeeung

[HarangLukeJiyoonFur donated 10,000 won!]
– At this point, it feels intentional?

“Haaah… it’s not… on purpose… fhhff…!”

Okay, maybe 5% on purpose.

I did kinda want to let the Yuki-dan hear my sexy moans and get flooded with compliments.

But right now, I was too dead to even enjoy it.

Why was this so hard…?

Is my heart only working at half power?

0.25 Park Ji-sung. I didn’t realize my stamina was this garbage-tier.

[2… 1… done!]

[Great job!]

[Now bring the ring forward and shout it with me!]

[CARDIO STRIKE!!!]

“CARDIOOOO!!! STRIKEEEEEE!!!!!”

– lmaoooo

– cardio STRIKEEEE!!!

– so cute

– YUKIIIIIIIIII BEAM!!!!!

With the last of my energy, I yelled the move name.

My in-game character launched what looked like an energy beam at the enemy.

[Critical!]

[176 Damage!]

A critical hit! The mushroom’s HP bar practically evaporated.

“Haaah… haaah… cough cough”

– her breathing lol

– she’s gonna die lmao

– and this is just the tutorial

– seriously

– Yuki’s stamina is tragic

– don’t die, nuna

– age catching up to her…

“Haaah… I am technically 17, you know…”

Physically 17, even if I’m 26 IRL.

Because I’m a TS (transformed) bishoujo. Perma-17 is the minimum baseline for this form, okay?

[KimQuailEgg donated 100,000 won!]

– Well done! Now let’s clear just one more chapter! Just ONE more, let’s goooo!

“Haaah… thank you… for the red superchat… nghh… I’ll try my best…”

Though honestly? I didn’t know if I could do it.

My sides hurt. My legs were shaking. I was on the verge of collapsing.

[Mushroom has been defeated!]

[Let’s keep running forward!]

After beating the mushroom monster, a message popped up again.

Panting, I lifted the controller to chest height and started jogging in place again.

There were no more enemies since it was still the tutorial.

After running through the open plains for a while, I finally completed the first stage.

[Your glistening sweat… is beautiful!]

“What do you mean ‘beautiful’… haah… the dev clearly has a sweat fetish…”

– facts

– lololol

– honestly, sweat is kinda hot

– lmao

– bishoujo sweat smell TSKR

– TSKR

– these people are insane LOL

Yeah, sweat can be hot on a bishoujo.

But this game isn’t only for cute girls, right?

Plenty of grown-ass men must play this too—are their sweat drops also beautiful?

I can love bishoujo sweat, but I draw the line at chubby gamer dude sweat.

…Not that I love my own sweat, mind you.

“Anyway… haah… let’s take five, okay?”

– ?

– ?

– she’s resting?

– that’s sus

“Please… haah… let me rest… or I’ll seriously, seriously die…”

I collapsed on the floor like a starfish, whining to the Yuki-dan.

My virtual model—no longer tracking my face—looked like it was doing an ahegao, but I had no energy to fix it.

Every part of my body hurt.

Lungs expanded to their limit trying to inhale oxygen.

Limbs and core burning from overexertion.

Sides aching from too much cardio.

Please stop.

My life points are already zero.

“If I keep working out from here… if I keep doing squats and get violated by muscle… I’ll reach a point of no return!”

– she’s back to talking nonsense, must be recovered

– for real lol

– so… shall we begin again?

– get up

– enough restttttt

[Yamaggedon donated 5,000 won!]

– Time to work out again, right?

“…Tch. Fine. I’ll do it, so stop rushing me.”

Honestly, lying down did recharge me a bit.

I may be weak, but I recover fast. Like some rapid-fire noodle…

I have no idea how this body’s even structured.

[Chapter 1: Cardio Plains]
【1】─［2］─［3］─［4］─……
△

Leaving the now-completed Stage 1 behind, I started Stage 2.

Let’s not forget the goal.

I need to lose weight.

Lose weight, and return to being the perfect bishoujo.

I don’t want to balloon to 82kg and get accused of breaking girl-mode.

Now that I am a girl, wanting to be pretty is normal, right?

So me wanting to slim down is perfectly fine.

Nope, not because I’m turning fully into a woman. No sir.

“Alright. Starting Stage 2 now.”

And so, my diet continued.

---

You know what they say.

“Resolutions last three days.”

And there’s another saying:

“There’s no grave without an excuse.”

Which is why my early failure at dieting had a perfectly good reason.

“Hic… st-stop… nghh…! M-my abs… they’re ruined…!!”

– LOL

– heeuuuung

– 💦💦💦

– ngl, that dialogue feels too real

– “abs… ruined~” lmaoooo

– 🍌💦

– instant rupture

Hey, stop spraying weird fluids in chat.

Gross.

You clean up your own mess, okay?

…Was what I wanted to say, but I was too out of breath to actually speak.

[SansPunch donated 1,000 won!]
– My mom walked in so I quickly switched to porn instead. This was too risky.

“Haaah… so you’re saying… nghh… Yuki-chan’s stream… is sexier than porn…?”

– lolol

– he’s not wrong

– respect for switching to actual porn

– omfg

– Forbes Top A-Cup, Sexiest VTuber

– AA cup?

– ramen bowl tier?

– Flatty Squad, sign in!

The Yuki-dan were teasing my chest size again, but I was too tired to clap back.

Can I just retire now?

I feel like I gave it my all today.

Do I really need to push my body even further?

[NotAnaerobicDonated 10,000 won!]
– Come on, you won’t break that easily!

“Nghh, nooo!! I am breaking!! Nghhiyaaah…! M-my abs… they’re breaking!!”

I’m dying.

Not metaphorically. Literally dying.

Was the developer of Ring-Fitness named Kayaba Akihiko?

This tortures people more efficiently than any full-dive VR gear.

[(Boss) Deltoid Ent Lv.32]
[■■□□□ 37%]

Anyway.

I was now facing the Chapter 1 boss.

A tree-person with massive shoulder pads—Deltoid Ent.

[Core] → [Leg Raises]
[Alright! Just 10 more!]

I picked ab exercises because my arms and legs had given out.

But by this stage, the difficulty had multiplied, and I was basically suffering through “Leg Raises x500” in real time.

[5!]
“Hff!”
[4!]
“Haaah…!”
[3!]
“Hyiiiaaagh…!!”
[2!]
“Heeeuuugh…!!!!”
[1!]
“HOCOOOOOOOOOK!!!!!!”

– what are those sounds lmao

– she’s so done

– “HOCOOOOOK~~♡”

– rofl

– heeeung

– LOL

It was more like a death cry than a moan.

Using the last of my abs, I barely managed to lift my legs like I was casting a forbidden move.

Have you ever seen stars?

I have.

They’re dancing before my eyes right now.

A shimmering river of galaxies, utterly beautiful.

[Great job!]

“Nnngh…!!”

The bright voice snapped me out of it.

[Now bring the ring forward and shout with me!]

[CALISTHENICS PUNCH!!!]

With my final drop of strength, I thrust the ring forward and yelled.

“CALLLLISTHENICS PUNCHHHH!!!”

– lolololol

– “Calisomething PUNNNCH!!!”

– she’s dying lmao

– poor Yuki

– HAHAHA

– fire punch! fire punch!

[163 Damage!]
[(Boss) Deltoid Ent Lv.32]
[■□□□□ 7%]

But the boss barely survived with a sliver of HP.

Grinning, the muscle-bound tree began charging up energy in its hands.

[Press the ring to block the enemy’s attack!]

“Okay! I-I’ll block, just… haah, gimme a second—”

[Incoming! 3… 2…]

“GYAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!”

I crushed the ring with every bit of strength I had left.

The ring flattened from an ‘O’ to a ‘0’ as the defense meter filled.

[Block success!!]
[27 Damage!]

I successfully blocked and took reduced damage.

Barely alive, I started prepping the next attack.

[Cardio] [Upper Body] [Lower Body] [Core]

“Lower body! Please… haah… let me use legs…!”

– breathe please

– lololol

– she’s actually dying

– INHALE

– lmaoo

The only body part off cooldown was my legs.

Anything else would straight up kill me.

Even legs might kill me, but the others would definitely cause muscle rupture.

[Lower Body] → [Jump Squats]

“Let’s go with jump squats… they looked the easiest…”

– uh oh

– lololol

– jump squats aren’t easy bro

– for real

– lmao

[EggSoup donated 1,000 won!]

– uh… yeah that’s a no-go…

“…Huh? It’s a bad choice?”

I picked it on reflex, and chat got weirdly tense.

But too late.

Choice locked in, the bright male voice resumed the tutorial.

[Squat and jump upward like the picture!]
[Let’s go for a light 15 reps!]

Fifteen.

Double the pain of leg raises.

And I picked this thinking it was easy.

“A-Aaaah. Aaaah…”

Only nonsense escaped my lips now.

Too late to regret.

With a face full of despair, I slowly took the squat position.

[15!]

“Nnngh…!”

I clenched my lips and squatted.

Then launched upward, straight into—

(TL note: Bbududuk! (Flex! / Tense!), Muscle (on her thigh, personified with a face and arm):
“Hi! I’m Muscle! I’m gonna pop out~”)

“…?”

At first, I felt nothing.

Then—

“…!!!”

A stabbing pain ripped through my thigh.

Like I’d overclocked my PC, the pain exceeded all human limits.

“GYAAAAAAAH…!!”

– LOL

– she’s actually dying

– you picked it, now suffer

– reporting for abuse

– lol

– gremlin noises

– she’s no longer sexy lol

I couldn’t even read chat.

Or move.

CRASH!

The pain in my leg caused me to fall right after landing.

– what was that sound??

– did she fall?!

– we need to call someone

– she’s… dead?

– she’s dead!!

– YUKI IS NO MORE!!!

– KYAAAAAAAH!!!

– YABE

– Yuki’s dead. She’s gone.

“Huuueeeegh…”

And thus the silver-haired bishoujo collapsed like a fallen leaf, defeated by a violent fitness game.

As chat descended into chaos—

The Ring-Fit stream ended.

What was left behind?

A new nickname: Weakling.

And a horrifying case of muscle soreness.
