Subscriber of the Gods Episode 54
Episode 54. The Eye of Horus
New semester.
Ibeka Academy had a curriculum that lasted a total of two semesters.
And at the end of all these semesters, the Academy Exchange Festival was held in the winter.
‘There are two big events. Once in the summer and once in the winter.’
The biggest one was the exchange festival in winter. It was an academic exchange festival with several academies, led by Ibeka and Freya.
‘The biggest problem is the students.’
Students at Ibeca Academy can be broadly divided into three groups.
They were the upper class, consisting of the twelve nobles, the nobles not included in the twelve nobles, and the children of wealthy merchants.
‘There is one more.’
In addition, there were those who entered Ibeca solely based on talent.
They had no money and no great background. However, they were highly talented and were recommended by nobles and entered through a special examination.
No matter how talented they were, they were in charge of the lowest level of the Ibeka Academy.
‘They are a class of commoners who are practically treated like servants.’
Of course, that also applied to teachers.
The current Ethan comes from the Wickers family, which can be considered an unnamed family.
Not only has he not yet inherited the title, he also has no particular fame.
If you were a swordsmanship teacher, then it was important to have achievements that matched that.
He was active in monster subjugation battles or in some knighthood.
Or maybe his potential was recognized by those at the level of Sword Master.
Things like that need to be there for students to really get the point.
But Ethan had none of that.
It’s literally a blank sheet of paper.
‘So I also belong to that commoner class.’
Who would listen to Ethan’s lessons properly?
Perhaps you will ignore and laugh at yourself.
‘To subdue it, you need more ability than you have now.’
I was sure that Ethan, as he is now, would not be able to control those unruly students.
Something overwhelming was needed to subdue those who were ignorant of the heights of the sky.
‘I’m used to teaching. But to teach, I need to have a better eye than I have now. And I need the ability to overwhelm my students.’
It doesn’t have to be a truly overwhelming skill.
It just has to look overwhelming.
‘That way I can move the students the way I want.’
There is not much time left. The fate of Ibeka Academy is already decided. After the exchange this winter, it will go down the path of ruin.
‘But that time may come sooner, because I will build my reputation here.’
So, in order to control a fate that has already been decided, you need strong allies who believe in you and follow you.
Students were a great group to have as allies.
‘A master-level lecture. It requires unique abilities to make it possible.’
Master was the title given to the academy’s top instructor.
In each academy, there were only a few instructors called masters, but once they were attached, their influence followed them until death.
Of course, the enormous fame was inevitable.
‘Being called a Master in a mediocre academy and being called a Master in the best academy on the continent are two completely different things.’
As soon as Ethan entered [New World], he searched for the keyword ‘education’.
-The algorithm analyzes your keywords… … .
The gods related to education came out one after another.
The one at the top was Chiron, the teacher of many heroes in Greco-Roman mythology.
Beneath it was also Mentor, the origin of the famous word.
‘No, a little more.’
What Ethan needed now wasn’t some kind of educational philosophy.
Knowledge is already overflowing. What matters is the ability to make that knowledge shine even brighter.
‘Then, having eyes that can see through things is important. The swordsmanship and the students’ skills are amazing.’
No matter how much knowledge Ethan has about swordsmanship and magic, it is difficult for him to completely overpower the skilled students of swordsmanship.
They have a shiny background, and that background gives them the power to do anything.
Even if you hurt a teacher in a real class, they can just give you a few bucks and cover it up.
‘Of course I won’t get hurt. But if I do, the student will get hurt. Right now, I can’t win without getting hurt.’
Ethan was a swordsman after all. So he had to acquire abilities befitting that title.
The conditions were quite demanding, so Ethan had to keep going down the list.
Gulp.
I had to subscribe to a god who could complement that ability.
As Ethan continued to scroll down the list, there was an introductory phrase that caught his eye.
-How to see the world through the eyes of an eagle that sees day and night [Difficulty: Medium]
“oh.”
I really liked the introduction of the god who had the ability to see through things. It was the ability that Ethan needed most right now.
Seeing through.
If you have that kind of ability, you will be able to overwhelm your opponent.
‘Horus?’
The god’s name was Horus.
Since this was my fourth subscription after Heo Jun, Hercules, and Hong Gil-dong, the number of likes required to subscribe was six.
Ethan thought for a moment.
Piercing the world.
It gets a lot of likes, but I think it’s definitely close to the skill level you need.
‘First, the review.’
Ethan checked the subscription reviews. It was essential to check the subscription reviews before subscribing.
-Steel Commando: Thanks to subscribing to Horus, I was able to copy the arm movements of the person in front of me. Thanks to him, I got a perfect score on the test and passed. Thank you.
-Elfjoa: I was able to date the Elf Queen who said she would date me if I could see further than her, and I won.
“hmm.”
A subscription review that leaves nothing but a sigh.
‘My subscription reviews are popular because I write them like this.’
What exactly are the conditions for using [New World]?
“But it is definitely the ability I want. It is a power related to the eyes that allows me to see through things.”
Ethan immediately subscribed to Horus.
-You have subscribed to Horus!
-You have used Like.
Horus’ image was a little different from that of other existing gods.
‘One video is long.’
-[NEW!] How to see with eagle eyes
Ethan immediately pressed the video button.
Then Horus appeared, wearing a magnificent crown. To be exact, it was more like a mask than a crown.
A giant falcon mask.
Horus’ low voice was heard.
– Subscriber, you have subscribed to me. You will never regret subscribing to me, Horus, the son of Osiris and Iris, the guardian deity of the Pharaohs, the archer of the sun… … .
Ethan put the skip feature he had previously acquired by spending 1 million gold to good use.
I skipped, skipped, and skipped the beginning without hesitation.
-I think this power will be of great help to my subscriber, Jehyun… … .
There was a reason the video was so long. The introduction was too long.
‘Let’s get to the point.’
After skipping to the middle of the video, I finally got to the main point. Fortunately, since I liked it, the video was quite long from the main point to the end.
-My power is very simple. Those of you who have seen my video will have slightly better eyesight. But that is not enough. You cannot say that you have my power perfectly.
“Huh? What does this mean?”
You can’t have perfect ability with video?
– In this [New World], the gods try to get subscriptions and likes in various ways. But among those gods, there are some gods who cannot give all their abilities through videos. Gods like me.
Horus continued his explanation.
-So we’re going to try to pass on our power in a slightly different way. By accepting subscriptions and likes, too.
Shaaaaak-.
A new notification window popped up before Ethan’s eyes.
-You can purchase Horus goods.
“… … goods?”
-Subscribers who subscribe to me can buy goods! Instead of selling goods, there are restrictions on uploading videos. But I can’t convey my abilities through videos!
Ethan quickly checked the shopping list.
-[Horus Goods!] Eagle Eye
“Eagle eyes? Are you replacing the eyes?”
-You can even decide the color of your pupils. It’s not hard to put that kind of power into a product!
Ethan carefully checked the number of likes needed to purchase the goods.
“This is crazy.”
The total number of likes I got for subscribing to Horus was six.
But the price of the goods is as high as fifteen.
-I made it cheap. Compared to other gods, I’m more of a gentleman.
It was clearly a recorded video and not a live lecture, but Horus spoke leisurely as if he had read Ethan’s thoughts.
‘No, I can’t buy it. It’s too expensive.’
-Don’t worry. Even if you can’t buy it because it’s expensive, you can still use the ability itself. Of course, it’s more like an imitation than a proper use.
“This is a scam.”
-You don’t think this is a scam, do you? No, no. This is goods on a completely different level. My stuff!
Horus speaks as if he were reading your thoughts.
That’s why it was more annoying.
‘Ugh, what should I do… … .’
Ethan was lost in thought for a moment.
I have six likes and only eight left. That’s not enough to buy a single item.
Then, soon, a good idea occurred to me.
‘wait for a sec.’
An idea occurred to me to get some likes right now.
I immediately opened my mailbox and checked the content of the email I wanted.
“They said they would give me likes in exchange for writing a review.”
It clearly says that it shares likes. That means that it definitely has a feature that allows you to share likes.
‘My subscription review becomes a weapon.’
The gods are getting excited and want Ethan’s subscription review.
Ethan doesn’t know how sharp his weapon is, but he knows it can cut through anything.
I immediately wrote a comment in Horus’s subscription review window.
-I would like to leave a review after subscribing.
* * *
“Hmm, should I add one more item? Or should I buy the right to upload one more video with the likes from selling the existing item?”
Horus has been struggling with his subscriber and like counts, which have been at a standstill lately.
If it were true, I wouldn’t have had these worries. I was doing my best.
But there was a problem.
Changes began to occur in the [New World] rankings, which had not changed much until now.
Interestingly enough, it wasn’t God who caused the change.
It happened because of one subscriber who subscribed to them.
“The Oriental panacea. He’s definitely not that different from other gods of healing. But how can his ranking change like this with just one subscription review?”
Horus learned that the Oriental panacea had once been of much lower rank than himself.
That Oriental panacea that he had never cared about before is now superior to him.
And that’s all because of a review written by just one subscriber.
“Are subscription reviews that important? What kind of subscription reviews did you post?”
Like the other gods, Horus also became very curious. He thought about sending a letter first, but soon gave up.
“Since ancient times, God has been a being that guides and gives light. Everyone looks up at the sun not only because the sun is above.”
He confirmed his [new world] with a pretended solemn expression.
“Ugh.”
And then he found a new post in his subscription review window.
All the thoughts I had just had disappeared.
There was a huge opportunity right in front of me.
Horus immediately sent him a letter.
