Subscriber of the Gods Episode 159
Episode 159. Why doesn’t that work?
Thud-. Thud-. Thud-.
In an instant, everything Ethan had been seeing disappeared.
Ethan was already in the room.
No, this place was more like a tent than a room.
‘A tent set up temporarily.’
It looked like a barracks used on the battlefield.
Ethan looked around first.
It wasn’t a very big tent, so we were able to find someone quickly.
An overwhelming giant.
Even though he was clearly only visible as a silhouette, a man of such large stature that he felt oppressed walked towards Ethan.
A presence so strong that it feels like the earth is shaking with every movement.
As the distance got closer, his eyes became brighter.
Soon, an intense gaze that seemed like it would devour the opponent was directed at Ethan.
Ethan looked up at him as he came closer.
History describes him as a god-given warrior with inhuman strength.
One who changes the course of battle with one sword.
It was the Goryeo swordsman Cheok Jun-gyeong.
“Hello, subscriber.”
A bushy beard and armor.
And the unique return is quite cool.
“Are you Mr. Chuck Jun-kyung?”
“Yes, I am the Sword Master of Goryeo, Cheok Jun-gyeong.”
Chuck Jun-kyung smiled, revealing his teeth.
“In the new world, they call me the Sword Master of Goryeo. I like that nickname quite a bit. I introduce myself like this every time I merge with a subscriber.”
Chuck Jun-kyung spoke in a deep voice.
“Thank you for subscribing to me. I see a lot of subscribers who chose me because of the shorts. But there weren’t many cases where it was as urgent as yours. Weren’t you on the brink of death?”
“Did you know my situation?”
“I know. You must have borrowed quite a bit of my power, so you must have gotten quite a few likes. So I can’t help but know.”
Chuck Jun-kyung said.
“There must have been many circumstances, but since you have subscribed to my channel, all your worries and concerns will be resolved. If you deeply learn the two techniques of turning the tables and fighting to the death, you will be able to gain the upper hand in any battlefield. And if you completely master these two techniques, you will also be able to learn my ultimate technique. Of course, it will be difficult to completely master, so it will not be easy to use properly.”
Chuck Jun-kyung was a prosecutor.
Unlike Xiang Yu or Hercules, he was a god who used a sword as his main weapon, so he was a god who could be of considerable help to Ethan at the moment.
“You may be confused. You were suddenly dragged here. But don’t worry. This is a new world benefit that is entirely for your benefit. This is a conversation between a subscriber and a god called the merger.”
Chuck Jun-kyung said.
“It’s only a short time, but you can ask me questions directly during this time.”
Chuck Jun-kyung looked at Ethan.
“If you have any questions, I’ll answer just one. This merger won’t be that long. I think it’ll be about 15 minutes. If I were to make this merger ticket into merchandise, it would take a little longer, but it’s free.”
He looked at Ethan.
“Subscriber, do you have any questions for me?”
After saying that, Chuck Jun-kyung waited for Ethan for a moment.
‘I feel like I’ve had this experience countless times.’
In that case, you can never shake Chuck Jun-kyung with an obvious question.
Ethan thought for a moment, then looked straight into Chuck Jun-kyung’s eyes and said.
“Don’t you want to move up in rank from where you are now?”
“……what?”
An unexpected question.
As Ethan had expected, Chuck Jun-kyung was definitely shaken.
* * *
Chuck Jun-gyeong was currently a god who ranked high in the new world.
Originally, in this new world, the oriental gods lacked fame and recognition, and thus were not recognized by subscribers.
Basically, gods widely known among subscribers were mainly chosen because their abilities were easy to understand and clear just by their names.
That’s why oriental gods who lacked recognition and fame were often ignored by subscribers, and Cheok Jun-kyung was also not chosen by subscribers at first.
But Chuck Jun-kyung was not disappointed.
Rather, I looked at other gods that were chosen by subscribers, thinking that it was natural.
We analyzed which gods our subscribers mostly choose and created videos based on that analysis.
After many trials and errors, Cheok Jun-gyeong finally succeeded. He established himself as one of the top gods of the East.
Then I got greedy.
Can we really win in this new world?
But climbing higher was never easy.
The gap between him and Zeus, who was currently ranked number one, was so large that he couldn’t even think of catching up, and there was a considerable gap between him and the gods immediately above him.
Even though I did my best, I reached my limit.
Although Chuck Jun-kyung had won countless battles and unfavorable fights so far, the competition in the new world was not easy.
But I had no intention of giving up or settling, because then I would just end up a loser.
If you improve the quality of your videos, you will definitely get more subscribers.
In addition, Chuck Jun-gyeong took notice of this annexation right.
I thought that this merger right, which allowed me to talk directly to my subscribers and give them the feedback they wanted, was the means to take it to the next level.
That’s why I was fully aware of my subscribers’ tendencies.
‘It’s already been decided what kind of questions will be asked. They’ll probably ask how I can best use my abilities.’
Chuck Jun-kyung has met with numerous subscribers in person and received their questions.
These were obvious but necessary questions, and Chuck Jun-kyung answered them with all his heart.
I thought that this subscriber in front of me would be no different.
You’ll probably be asking the same obvious questions as countless other subscribers I’ve met before.
But the question that came out of the subscriber’s mouth this time was completely unexpected.
“Don’t you want to move up in rank from where you are now?”
One of Chuck Jun-kyung’s eyebrows rose at the question he had never heard before.
“What does that question mean now? Subscriber, you have only one chance to ask a question. If I answer here, that’s it.”
“I just want to hear from you, Mr. Chuck Jun-kyung. Do you have any intention of moving up, or are you satisfied with your current ranking?”
It was a remark that crossed the line. It was clear that it had touched a nerve, as Cheok Jun-gyeong’s expression hardened.
Ethan felt that now was the time to introduce himself.
“I am a subscriber who uses the nickname [I only subscribe to the real God], Mr. Chuck Jun-kyung.”
“what?”
Chuck Jun-kyung also knew the name of that famous subscriber.
“Are you a subscriber to [Only Subscribe to the Proper God]!?”
Eyes widened, voice grew louder.
Ethan smiled at the expected reaction.
“I got famous by accident, but yes, I am that subscriber.”
“Wow, you were such a great subscriber. I was a fan of yours. Thanks to you, I saw Heo Jun rise so quickly, and for many reasons, I really wanted to meet you.”
Heo Jun was a god of the same East, and although they were from different eras, he had a sense of kinship with them.
That’s why I was quite moved to see Heo Jun rise from the bottom, and I was also very grateful to the subscribers of [Only Subscribe to Proper God].
“Oh my goodness. I thought something like this might happen someday. Who would have thought you’d subscribe to me!”
The words that crossed the line just now were already forgotten in Cheok Jun-gyeong’s mind.
“Mr. Chuck Jun-kyung, first I would like to hear your answer to my question.”
Ethan asked again calmly.
Just because his reaction was good doesn’t mean the story is over.
“… … .”
Chuck Jun-kyung reacted quite positively to Ethan, but was quite cautious when asked questions.
“I won’t answer that right now. I’d rather express my gratitude for Heo Jun’s kind words.”
Although it was understandable that he would be anxious since they would not be able to meet face to face for long, Ethan was calm.
Instead, he took a step back and waited for Chuck Jun-kyung to speak.
Chuck Jun-kyung thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“This isn’t usually the place to give something like this, but I’ll give it to you as a special gift.”
Then he created a book in his hand.
“This is my goods. It has my name on it, the sword technique of the Cheoksin Sword. The most basic forms 1 and 2 are written on it, so if you take this… … .”
“Is it possible for me to learn directly from Mr. Chuck Jun-kyung?”
“Of course you can learn it. But there’s only, um, 13 minutes left. With 13 minutes, all I can do is show you and explain it briefly. It’ll be over the moment you finish explaining it. Is that okay?”
“yes.”
Certainly, this subscriber was different from the other subscribers.
I felt a strange sense of anticipation as I made choices that seemed to cross the line and were incomprehensible.
‘That’s strange.’
It was clear that this was a type of subscriber that had never been seen before in Shinsegae.
“Then I will teach you.”
Chuck Jun-kyung started his lecture right away.
“Sword high into the sky, but not simply by extending the sword, like this. Concentrate the energy within your body and in one breath… … .”
Certainly, Chuck Jun-kyung was good at explaining.
‘I don’t know if it makes sense. I don’t have enough time to even follow along a few times, let alone understand it.’
Chuck Jun-gyeong demonstrated the first and second forms of Chuck Shin Geom Sool.
The first style was a simple downward slash, while the second style was a sword technique that charged the sword with explosive power to deliver a powerful blow.
What was funny was that the first and second forms of this sword technique looked incredibly easy.
Great people make difficult things look easy.
What this meant was that the difficulty of this sword technique was much harder than it appeared.
“It can be difficult to understand. It can even be difficult to follow. When you return, you will have to practice in your world… … .”
“understand.”
“……what?”
Chuck Jun-kyung frowned at Ethan’s words.
“It’s impossible. You understand this just by looking at it now? I know that your eyes have a special power, but that alone is impossible. You need to have basic skills… … .”
Chuck Jun-kyung clicked his tongue and spoke as if telling me not to be a guest.
“I know you have talent, but… … .”
Before Chuck Jun-kyung could finish speaking, Ethan took out his frost sword and swung it.
Wedge-!
At that moment, Chuck Jun-kyung, who had been speaking, shut his mouth tightly.
“… … .”
“I will unfold the first form of the Sword Technique of the Swordsmanship as I understand it.”
Ethan continued to swing his sword with shining eyes.
Wedge-! Wedge-!
Then, immediately after, the second meal was served.
It was certainly difficult for the current Ethan to fully demonstrate his swordsmanship.
Still, Chuck Jun-kyung couldn’t take his eyes off Ethan.
The only thing he moved was his eyebrows. He watched Ethan’s movements closely with a hardened face.
Although it was a very rough sword, its essence was clearly the sword technique of the spine.
Since he was the one who created the swordsmanship, I couldn’t help but acknowledge it even more.
“That’s… … definitely the first and second styles of the Sword Technique.”
Ethan’s words that he understood were not a lie.
But Chuck Jun-kyung couldn’t understand Ethan like that.
It’s clearly not possible.
There is no way I could understand and use it in this short time.
“Why doesn’t that work?”
