Subscriber of the Gods Episode 29
Episode 29. Successor of the Moon
When I opened my eyes, I was in front of a grave.
‘It was very simple, but this was her limit.’
Save my adoptive mother. That wasn’t her wish.
Her wish was to seek it out herself. To go and meet it face to face.
Ethan, who had been lost in the afterglow for a moment, checked the results of clearing this trial and quest.
First of all, there was the status window.
[Name: Ethan Wickers]
[Level: 15]
[Occupation: Successor of the Moon]
[Strength: 20][+6]
[Agility: 14][+6]
[Stamina: 38][+6]
[Intellect: 6][+6]
[Trait: Gourmet, Giant’s Strength]
*Fame: 85
*[Moon Force]: The power of the moon protects you. Your stamina increases significantly.
The stats had risen considerably.
The curse was still there, but my physical condition was much better than before.
“He is still terminally ill, but he has regained some of his health.”
I was able to improve my physical condition to some extent compared to the beginning.
It seemed like I could finally function somewhat normally.
“Now we stand at the starting line.”
Ethan finally felt like he was at the starting line.
When you start playing Mepan, you can quickly increase your specs in various ways. However, even if you increase your specs to the point where it seems excessive, you will often die several times due to the high difficulty level.
If you think about it, you can see that we have finally reached the starting line.
‘And I got the job I wanted.’
That was inspiring. I got a job that I had never had before.
Ethan took stock of what he had gained from this ordeal.
First of all, it was a job.
Successor of the Moon.
Ethan became the successor to the moon goddess Moonforce.
‘There is a reason why I chose this job among many others.’
Ethan activated one of the skills he had acquired this time, Moon Force.
This Moon Force was a technique with two powers.
The first was the power to contain the power of the moon in the sword and emit it.
‘It becomes possible to kill with one blow. The technique that the last Princess Leia used was this Moon Force.’
And the second one was the stamina stat adjustment, which was one of the abilities Ethan wanted.
‘The stamina value has been greatly adjusted.’
This second power affected Ethan’s stamina.
Not only does it give a large bonus to your stamina stat, it also greatly increases your base stamina.
In fact, Ethan’s stamina stat had increased significantly.
If you level up in this state, you will gain much more stamina.
At this point, there was no reason for me to lack stamina.
‘I’m saying that you won’t vomit blood or die after swinging your sword once.’
That was the most important thing to Ethan.
Maintaining your health. Strength can be replenished as much as you want, but maintaining health is another matter.
‘In that sense, this month’s successor is safety first.’
The reason Princess Leia was able to endure the fight against the Fire Dragon King was because she was a descendant of the Moon Goddess.
Of course I had the Frost Sword, but I couldn’t hope for that.
“I guess I’ll have to be satisfied with just getting a job.”
Ethan applied power to the Beast King’s Claw Sword he was holding. Then, a bright blue aura gushed out.
“It’s not like the princess had a frost sword, so she wouldn’t be able to utilize the frost slash 100%.”
Still, it can be used to some extent.
Ethan looked at the status screen with satisfaction. It was quite rewarding, as he had worked so hard to obtain it.
“Then let’s check the compensation.”
-You have passed the test perfectly!
-Please choose the reward you want!
-Rewards have been enhanced, allowing you to choose higher rewards!
[Frost Sword – Rhea], [Cloak of Agility], [Hanamura’s Horn Flute], [Rudravainis], [Stat Stone].
“uh?”
Ethan was momentarily taken aback.
I never expected the Frost Sword to come out.
The other rewards were pretty good too.
In particular, the Rudravainis was a very famous bow. Archers, who were called divine bows, used to carry replicas of this Rudravainis.
‘Other rewards are good too.’
There was only one reward to choose from now.
“Frost Sword.”
-You have chosen [Frost Sword-Leah]!
-Compensation will be paid.
Shaaaaak-.
Ethan held the Frost Sword in his hand.
The blue frost sword shone brightly, showing off its blue color.
Ethan picked up the Frostblade and immediately cast the skill Frostblade. Then, an intense coldness spread. It was a coldness so strong that it could not be drawn out with a claw sword.
“oh.”
Ethan swung the Frost Sword a few times with a rather satisfied expression on his face. Then he bowed his head toward the grave.
Her grudge has probably been completely resolved.
Ethan, who had properly received the reward, next checked the linked quest. As it turned out, there wasn’t just one quest.
* <
[Go to the temple of the Moon Goddess and inform her that you have become the new successor.]
[Reward: Blessing of the Moon Goddess]
‘If it’s the temple of the moon goddess, is it there?’
There was a place that I could guess was the temple.
The Goddess of the Moon was one of the ancient gods, but now she has no one to worship her and has fallen into ruin.
As a result, the temples were also closed or abandoned.
But Ethan had a guess as to where the temple was.
“First, I have to go back and then head back to the temple.”
Next, it was time to check out the main quest, [Surviving as Ethan Wickers]-2.
“There will be a reward for this too.”
The Frost Sword was a reward for clearing the trial.
-Received the clear reward for Main Scenario [Surviving as Ethan Wickers]-2.
-You’ve got a rare job beyond your imagination!
– Increased survival chance! [Surviving as Ethan Wickers] – The maximum survival chance that can be obtained with 2 has been increased.
-You got the best reward!
The clear conditions for this second scenario were actually simple.
I will get a job to survive.
This means that the quest will be cleared no matter what job you get.
‘Maximum chance of survival?’
“So the rewards vary greatly depending on how I clear it?”
Ethan checked the reward right away.
-Quest Reward: Double Caster.
“Double caster?”
For a moment, Ethan’s hands trembled.
“You’re crazy.”
Who would have thought that a double caster would be the reward?
-You can get one more job.
Literally double. It was a reward of having two jobs.
Ethan couldn’t help but laugh at the unexpected reward.
I took a lot of risks to clear this quest.
“It’s doable to this extent.”
This will allow you to main the Successor of the Moon and gain one more new job.
Since Successor of the Moon is a safety-first job, you should get another job that specializes in attack.
Ethan then checked [Surviving as Ethan Wickers]-3.
* <
-Getting a job greatly increases your chances of survival!
-Make a contract with a being who can protect you.
“A being who can protect me… … .”
The quest didn’t specifically say to make a contract with any being.
That meant that it was something you could choose freely, like the second quest.
‘It’s up to me.’
Here too, to maximize the rewards, it was best to make a contract with a solid entity.
“Let’s go out for now.”
* * *
The first thing Ethan encountered after leaving the ruins was Arachne.
Seven giant arachnes formed a line in front, hissing and squealing.
Beside them were piles of corpses of orcs.
The surroundings looked very ominous, as if other monsters had also fallen prey to Arachne.
“Ugh!”
“I guess you were waiting for me.”
It seems that the Ethan I missed looked quite tasty. That must be why I was hanging out here even after all this time.
But Ethan wasn’t the same Ethan he was before he entered.
I got a job and some extra powers.
Ethan took hold of the Frost Sword.
“It would be perfect to try it out.”
Then he used the power of frost.
Shaaaaak-.
The blue sword turned even bluer, and soon a cold aura began to emanate from it.
The arachnes rushed at Ethan.
Ethan calmly performed the Whicus swordsmanship from the 1st to the 8th form in succession.
The cold air from the frost sword spread out and instantly froze Arachne.
Ethan then took it a step further and used his skill.
“Frost cutting.”
The frozen arachne fell to Ethan’s frost slash.
-I hunted Arachne at the ancient ruins!
-Arachne’s curse is upon you!
-You are under an unimaginably great curse! Arachne’s curse is canceled.
“The curse is canceled?”
The extinction was so strong that no other curse dared to invade.
“I guess I should say thanks.”
Ethan came out of the forest with a bitter smile.
* * *
“Phew. Phew.”
In a dark room.
A woman had her eyes closed.
Tick.
But that didn’t last long, as the lights in the room came on.
“What are you doing?”
Ethan entered the room and saw Yereka.
“Where have you been? Look at this instead!”
Yeerika picked up some gold coins lying around nearby. The room was filled with them.
“I became rich.”
She said with a complicated expression.
I had just started my business in Florence, and my lightweight business was taking off like a sailboat in the wind.
“I saw it on my way here. There were so many people, and they were all customers coming from our direction.”
“Yes, that’s why I was a little scared.”
Yeri’s expression darkened.
Her life was that of a fugitive.
Up until now, I have lived as unnoticed as possible.
Ethan lifted some of the ban and was able to use the magic his grandfather had left behind, which gave him confidence, but at the same time he was also anxious.
Wouldn’t problems arise when people gather like this?
Can I really use magic properly to knock someone down?
“Don’t be afraid. You are not the same as before, Yeerika. Those who seek your magic? Let them come to you. You just have to show them. That you are not a library of the Archmage’s knowledge, but the Archmage’s granddaughter.”
Ethan continued to speak to reassure her.
“You can use magic now, right?”
“that’s right.”
“Then let’s just use magic to defeat all the guys that come.”
“yes!”
Her eyes lit up.
“But before that.”
Ethan picked up the gold coins on the floor.
“Let’s expand the business a bit more. We have to row the boat when the water comes in.”
