Subscriber of the Gods Episode 190
Episode 190. To Dragon’s Hill
[Hades, King of the Underworld]
“Hades?”
Ethan frowned for a moment.
Obviously the keyword was how to tame your dragon.
But the god that appeared was Hades.
“Is this correct?”
Clearly, this is a god recommended directly by the enhanced algorithm, so it must be a god that matches the keyword that Ethan searched for.
But it was also true that I had an uneasy feeling.
“He was a god of the underworld, I guess.”
Ethan thought for a moment.
-The number of likes required to subscribe is ’30’.
The number of likes I got when I subscribed to Cheongnangno Hwata before was 20.
‘It’s ten higher than that.’
Of course, I had already achieved quite a few achievements in the meantime, so I could easily use about 30 of them. However, I hesitated to subscribe because I didn’t see any connection between Hades and How to Train Your Dragon.
After some thought, I decided.
“Don’t hesitate. This is an algorithm that has been strengthened.”
If so, it would be believable.
Ethan immediately subscribed to Hades, the king of the underworld.
“huh?”
And then I checked the channel right away. As the King of the Underworld, I thought he would have made a video of his death-related abilities.
“Why are there so many subscribers?”
But Ethan, who checked the channel, felt puzzled.
Not only the number of subscribers, but also the number of likes was somewhat strange.
Hades would probably be a god with quite a high level of recognition even within the New World.
“I have quite a few subscribers, but the number of likes is really low.”
What this means is that subscribers only subscribed and rarely watched the videos.
Ethan was very impressed.
Then, suppressing the feeling of uneasiness, I checked the uploaded videos.
“oh my god.”
There are a total of three videos posted on the channel.
[How to tame a disobedient pet]
[How I Trained Cerberus]
[What monsters with great power like]
“Cerberus?”
Cerberus, a three-headed dog, was a famous demonic beast known as the guardian of the underworld. Although the expression is a bit strange, if we were to be exact, it would not be strange to say that he was Hades’ companion dog.
“Is there anything similar about how you deal with Cerberus to how you deal with a dragon?”
Certainly, if we were to judge by name, Cerberus was certainly comparable to the famous Masuni dragon of the Underworld.
“Isn’t it inevitable that the number of likes will be low?”
Hades is known as the god of the underworld and a god with power comparable to that of Zeus, the god of Olympus.
But the channel was actually focused on teaching how to handle animals.
“The gods have such different tastes.”
Come to think of it, Hades in mythology seems to have been known to be quite quiet.
It seemed that he had no other desires, as he was in an exclusive position within his own land, the underworld, that no one could dare to approach.
“You’re completely different from Zeus.”
But it’s actually good. I was hesitant, but upon closer inspection, I realized that it’s exactly the god that Ethan needs right now.
“It was worth strengthening the algorithm. I had to write so many answers just to collect 200.”
Since not all answers are accepted, hundreds of answers had to be posted to reach the target level of skill.
Fortunately, as I got used to answering questions during the process, I was able to give completely customized answers that fit the questions perfectly from about the middle of the process.
“Should I use algorithm enhancement next time too?”
Ethan thought for a moment.
“There’s no reason to keep buying algorithm enhancement tickets every time you need them. There must be algorithm enhancement tickets that last forever.”
It was clearly stated that the items available for purchase at the internal energy shop differ depending on the level.
Currently, Ethan is a hero-level intellectual.
Then, if you achieve a higher rank than now, you may be able to purchase a permanent algorithm enhancement ticket from the internal energy shop.
‘Anyway, the best way to raise your level is to post replies periodically.’
Ethan immediately pressed the first video.
– Nice to meet you. First of all, I have something to tell you. I don’t really have any desire to win in this new world. To be honest, I decided to participate in the new world because I wanted to show off our cute Cerberus to others.
After finishing speaking, Hades turned around slightly, and behind him appeared the majestic three-headed dog Cerberus.
‘I’ll just do dragons.’
Even watching the video, it seemed to be as big as an adult dragon.
-What do you think? Isn’t it cute?
Krrrrrrrrrr-!
Cerberus’s cry was so strong that it would have made many people faint just by hearing it.
-Cute guy.
Of course, to Hades, he was just a cute pet dog.
-I’ve been raising this Cerberus for quite some time, and I’ve focused on honing the skills to take care of this guy. Sorry, but if you were expecting Hades, the King of the Underworld, then I’d like you to cancel your subscription.
It’s likely that a significant number of subscribers have turned off the videos and unsubscribed at this point.
This is why, even with such great popularity, the number of likes is bound to be low compared to the number of subscribers.
I wondered if the remaining subscribers were waiting for Hades to change his mind, unable to unsubscribe because they felt bad about wasting the likes they had already used.
-But if you want to learn how to handle demons from me, watch this video until the end. I will teach you everything I have learned from my many years of wrestling with demons.
Hades said with great confidence.
‘Oh my, then there’s more I can do?’
Of course, this assumes that Hades’s powers are real.
‘Hades doesn’t have any grand goal like winning in the new world or anything like that. He just has a simple goal.’
And that simple goal was likely to yield even greater results.
‘There will definitely be a demand for this Hades ability.’
Ethan continued to watch the video.
Hades first showed how to tame the devil, using Cerberus as an example.
-The most important thing is communication with the demon. Of course, the demon is not something that can be tamed easily. That is why what is needed is the technique of matching the waves of the demon and yourself, taming.
-I learned how to tame demons.
– Added skill: Demon Taming (S)
Demon Taming.
It was a technique that could literally tame demons.
– But even if you tame a demon with taming, it doesn’t mean that the demon will completely follow your words. As I said before, the important thing is communication. Even after taming a demon, you have to continue to build communication. That way, the demon will gradually open its heart and follow you. Now, in the second video, I will focus on training.
That’s how the first video of Hades ended.
‘This looks like a technique that can definitely be tamed.’
In the video, Cerberus appears excited and drools the entire time, displaying the threatening look typical of demons.
However, it seemed to follow Hades perfectly, such as by placing its huge foot on Hades’ hand or showing its belly to show its submission.
“This is it.”
Ethan chuckled.
And then I watched the second and third videos in succession.
-I used the like button!
– Well, taming is the most basic thing. Now that I’ve tamed the demon, I have to train it to listen to me, right? A certain human once said that when taming a demon, you have to hold on to the initiative. It was said by a human who is either human or a dog pretending to be human, but I completely agree with that statement.
In the second video, Hades is shown training Cerberus.
-The important thing is to reward them when they follow the training well. If they are smart, you should reward them accordingly. Our Cerberus is smart and kind, so they are satisfied with this level of reward.
As Hades clapped his hands, Cerberus tumbled on the spot and raised his three heads toward the sky.
Whoosh whoosh-!
At the same time, blue flames spewed out from his mouth and filled the sky.
‘oh.’
Ethan was amazed at the sight.
-Our Cerberus is sufficient with meat as a reward. But this is the case with Cerberus. Depending on the target you are going to tame and train, you need to prepare a suitable reward separately. First, I will teach you the technique to accept any kind of reward here.
-Masu Taming has been upgraded.
-The effect increases when you give a reward to the devil.
-Any compensation would be a little more palatable.
The last third video was a summary of the previous two videos.
Hades repeatedly emphasized to Cerberus that controlling the devil requires the use of the carrot, the stick, and above all, communication.
“hmm.”
Ethan, who had watched all the videos, immediately left a comment for Hades to see.
-Hello, Hades. I am a subscriber with the name [Subscribe to Only the Proper God]. I am none other than… … .
Hades wants only one thing.
-Don’t you want to show off that cute Cerberus to more people? I’ll help you. So that even just a little more people will love Cerberus.
‘If this is the case, I have no choice but to fall for it.’
Ethan was confident.

Dragon’s Hill.
It is said that this name was naturally given to the area because the terrain itself resembles a dragon’s back.
‘It was also said that it was given this name because it was close to the dragon’s habitat.’
This Dragon’s Hill was a very unique place, with a fairly large forest centered around a hill shaped like a dragon’s back.
The forest itself is famous as a habitat for dragons, but it is also home to many extremely dangerous beasts, so it is directly managed by the Holy Empire.
Of course, they did not dispatch knights to manage the forest. They managed the forest by hiring nearby capable hunters as guards, and charged a high entrance fee to those who wanted to enter the forest.
“Two teams went in, but both of them lost contact. It’s likely that they’re all dead. They lost their lives in the pursuit of quick fortunes. Do you still want to go in?”
“exactly.”
The watchman who looked after Dragon’s Hill finished answering Ethan and did not try to dissuade him any further.
Ethan paid the admission fee to the watchman without hesitation.
“Okay… I understand. Then, please come back with the people you’re going with.”
The watchman said, taking the money.
“They all came.”
“yes?”
“The whole party has arrived.”
“no way……?”
“Alone.”
“her…….”
The watchman opened his eyes wide. Soon he shook his head as if he had seen something he should not have seen.
Occasionally there are people like this.
“If you’re going to die… …die gracefully.”
The watchman grumbled and took the lead.
“I can only guide you up to Dragon’s Hill. From there, you’re on your own.”
* * *
The Guardians of Dragon’s Hill are all skilled hunters.
Their role was to manage the forest and control and guide those who tried to enter it.
No matter how much it is forbidden, they try to get in somehow, so it is better to charge a large entrance fee to let them in.
As forest managers, they had to charge an entrance fee, so the guards had to make sure that visitors got to Dragon’s Hill.
“Please stand back slightly. There are many dangerous monsters in this forest. If you make a mistake, you will lose strength before you even reach the hill.”
The watchman said this and looked at Ethan with pity.
“Of course… … Well, I guess it’s okay.”
The watchman thought Ethan was the one who came to end his own life.
“I will take the lead.”
“It’s dangerous. The monsters here… …!”
Once again, a giant rat appeared with a terrifying rustling sound, warning us to take action.
Giant forest rat.
It was the most annoying monster among those living in this forest.
“Get back! They are weak individually, but they are cunning and move in groups of dozens. If you keep fighting them, their numbers will continue to grow and become difficult to handle!”
But Ethan did not back down.
“I know you came here to die! But even if you die, you’ll die to a dragon! You’ll die to a forest rat… …!”
Ethan stepped forward despite those words.
The watchman clicked his tongue. His role was limited to this point.
But for some reason, he couldn’t leave Ethan alone, so the watchman drew his sword from his waist and tried to charge forward.
But then.
“Come here.”
Ethan’s voice was heard. Ethan was gesturing towards the giant wood rat.
“huh……?”
Then, the giant forest rat, which had been baring its teeth threateningly as if it would pierce Ethan at any moment, made a bewildered expression.
Then, soon after, he let out a scream-like cry, “Kkiiik!”
“Come here.”
As Ethan spoke again, the giant wood rat slowly lowered itself and approached Ethan.
“Good job.”
Ethan praised the forest mouse that came close and threw it a carrot.
Then the wood mouse began to gnaw at the carrot with his front teeth.
“What’s this……?”
25 years of living as a hunter.
Something new was happening.
