Subscriber of the Gods Episode 2
Episode 2. Subscribe to the Gods
Ethan stared at the window and button that appeared before his eyes.
‘I don’t know what the heck is going on.’
This was definitely metube.
There was a subscription system on YouTube, and you could collect and watch the videos you wanted based on your subscriptions.
‘Similar but a little different?’
The name of this subscription platform was [Shinsegae]. I thought it was a better name than I thought.
Ethan endured the pain and looked at the god he could subscribe to with his eyes.
‘It definitely was. It told me to subscribe to the gods I wanted and press like. Subscribe and like… … Surely there wasn’t something like notification settings?’
– Hercules’ Basic Physical Strength Lecture [Difficulty: Medium]
-How to easily cut through the Black Mountain [Difficulty: Extreme]
The names of various gods were written down, along with the difficulty levels.
There was a brief description of the information you could get if you subscribed.
‘There are quite a lot.’
There were some thumbnails, but most of them were roughly made. Among them, Ethan found a video that seemed to have a lot of views.
High number of views for a thumbnail that catches the eye.
– Oriental panacea: Treating all illnesses with acupuncture and herbal medicine [Difficulty: High]
“This… could it be Heo Jun?”
This was the video Ethan needed most right now.
Ethan subscribed to this oriental panacea without hesitation.
Tiring-!
-You have subscribed to the Oriental Doctor of All Things!
-Subscribe to the amazing first New World! You can watch two videos of the Oriental panacea for free.
Subscribe to [The Oriental Doctor of All Things] without using up your likes!
A number of notification windows clouded Ethan’s vision. Ethan scanned them for a while and then clicked to watch the video.
-[new!] Donguibogam – Acupuncture
-[new!] Donguibogam – Herbal Medicine
‘What you need right now is not herbal medicine. Acupuncture is better.’
Herbal medicine requires ingredients and time. The only thing that could be used right now was acupuncture.
Ethan immediately pressed the acupuncture video button. Then, the video began to play as the surroundings changed.
-I have been trying to eliminate infectious diseases all my life and my acupuncture is based on that…
‘No skip?!’
Heo Jun was a famous doctor. However, he was a man who had a lot of pride in his own skills, so his explanation was very long.
“Seo, I’m dying to hear your explanation.”
-Oh, I’m sorry! It looks like you’re dying. Hmm. Let me take your pulse.
“Uh… … Wasn’t it a video?”
-I usually leave it as a video, but it’s been a while since I’ve done a live lecture. Most gods don’t leave it as a video. Anyway, thank you very much. I haven’t had any subscribers for quite some time. Sadly, I’m not that famous. You are my honorable 7th subscriber.
Heo Jun came out and touched Ethan’s wrist.
Then he closed his eyes and then opened them wide.
-… … How are you alive?
“So I’m dying. Please help me.”
-Hmm, I guess so. First, I will use my power to save you. But I cannot completely cure you. Your illness is not something that can be cured so easily.
As he said this, Heo Jun took out a long needle from his waistband.
-Okay.
“I’m already used to enduring pain. Stab me. Anywhere.”
-Oh. Brave. But this acupuncture is the kind that overcomes pain with pain. So, to overcome the pain you have, you have to inflict even greater pain.
Swish-!
A long needle was stuck into Ethan’s shoulder. Heo Jun took out the needles one by one and inserted them into both shoulders, thighs, pubic hair, and the center of his forehead.
-Five elements. After relieving the heat of your body full of pain with acupuncture, I will stir up and remove the pain. With greater pain. Feel it well. Since you have decided to subscribe to my acupuncture, I will show you everything without holding back.
Swish-!
Heo Jun inserted the last needle.
“… … .”
But Ethan just gritted his teeth and didn’t even groan.
-You can endure this much pain? Huh! You’re no ordinary person. You too.
As soon as the needle went in, a reaction came. Despite the extreme pain, Ethan realized that his body was recovering.
‘Is the game system applied?’
Normally, if I felt pain that reached my limit, I would log out immediately. But now, I could feel the pain vividly.
But it was still bearable. They say you can’t get used to pain, but your ability to endure it develops.
Ethan has been through quite a bit. Everything he has endured while living alone has helped him a great deal in his current situation.
-You’ve held out well. You should be able to move as you wish for about ten days. Ten days is enough time to learn my acupuncture and use it on yourself. So, what do you think? How did you feel about my acupuncture?
As soon as he finished speaking, the needles began to disappear like smoke.
After all the needles disappeared, Ethan slowly stood up from his spot.
Turn your shoulders and bend your neck to the sides. Jump in place three or four times.
I felt my body become much lighter.
“I’m sorry. I thought I was going to die just now. Now I feel like I’m finally going to live.”
-You seem to be alive. Haha. I feel good. I really enjoy helping people. This is just something that comes with my enjoyment. So, what do you think? Would you like to subscribe and like me? If possible, it would be even better if you leave a review after subscribing. I want to spread this acupuncture to many people. If I can help more people, wouldn’t that be a really happy thing?
“I don’t know exactly what you’re talking about. Could you explain it to me in more detail?”

-Hmm. You don’t know? Normally, you would have had to listen to a fairly long explanation to get the terms and conditions agreed to. All my subscribers up until now have done that. Do you really not know anything?
Heo Jun asked back with a rather embarrassed expression.
Because the subscribers who have followed him so far have never asked this question.
“I have no idea. To be honest, I don’t even know why this appeared in front of me.”
-Hmm. I guess there may have been some mistake. But whatever. I’ll explain it to you easily.
Heo Jun’s explanation continued like that for a long time.
It was a grand story. It was a story so grand that it didn’t really make sense to Ethan.
-The gods who have attained the rank of transcendence… … .
It was a story about gods from countless myths, legends, and stories competing for the position of the one true god.
-The God of the Gods. I heard that they use this subscription and like system to select the main god. To quantify it and check influence more easily. These subscriptions become the authority of [New World] suitable users of numerous worlds.
“So, can I just press subscribe like I did just now and watch the video to learn the abilities of the god I subscribed to?”
-That’s what it is.
“Is it possible to subscribe without any conditions?”
-No. I need a like.
‘This is not a setting in the game.’
There was no such setting in Mazed Pangea.
In the first place, there are gods who are famous in reality here.
‘In Heo Jun’s case, he was just a famous physician from the Joseon Dynasty. He wasn’t a god or anything.’
He may have been revered as a god at the time, but he was not a true god.
‘You clearly said it was a special privilege. A special privilege for clearing the map. Does that mean I got this because I cleared the map multiple times? Or is it like a DLC?’
DLC is like additional content that you can purchase for a fee, but it is definitely not like this.
So I asked the question again.
“Are there any [New World] users like me in this world?”
-Hmm. You are alone in this world. But the world is not one. There are many [New World] users in many worlds.
‘First of all, it seems like I’m the only [New World] user on this platform.’
“So if you get a lot of likes, you become a giver?”
-Likes are a very important factor. They make up the biggest part of your score.
Heo Jun explained briefly.
The number of subscribers, views, and likes are reflected in their score.
-Likes are the biggest score you can give us. They are the most important. We need likes to subscribe to us and to see more videos we make.
“Then how do you get that like?”
-Hmm. I don’t know about that. If I knew, I would tell all my subscribers and ask them to like me. I guess you could get it if you solve various problems in your world.
“So, even after I subscribe by liking it, can I still like it?”
-Our image is not everything you see now. If you want to see it all, you have to do that. Me too, and the other gods too.
“Then, there are cases where you only watch videos that you can watch through subscription and don’t press the like button.
Heo Jun laughed heartily.
-You hit the nail on the head. That’s right. That’s why, in order to get a lot of likes and views, the video has to be useful. That’s why [New World] users like you will watch it. And I heard that videos that get a lot of likes are exposed to a lot of users through the power of a mysterious algorithm. It’s really amazing.
Heo Jun coughed in vain a couple of times.
-I’m sure you’re feeling better now. That’s all I can do. Since you’ve subscribed, watch my videos and judge for yourself. You have full authority to like my other videos. And if you want to see my future videos, just like them. Of course, I accept tributes. So… … Ahem.
Heo Jun’s vivid image quickly turned into smoke and disappeared.
-I learned acupuncture from Heo Jun.
-Added skill: False Acupuncture (A)
“There was no inventory or status window.”
Those two elements that were originally there were no longer there.
“Skill window.”
< Skills held: False Acupuncture (A) [0.0 percent], Whicus Swordsmanship (B) [100 percent] >
‘oh.’
But there was a skill window.
The false acupuncture I just learned was an A-class skill.
‘I think the percentage next to it indicates proficiency.’
Surprisingly, Ethan’s Wickers swordsmanship proficiency was a whopping 100%.
‘If only my body was intact, then I guess I’m pretty strong. But that’s for later… … .’
The first priority was to check the condition of the body that Heo Jun had treated.
Ethan took a deep breath and walked around for a while.
‘I feel so refreshed.’
I was so moved that I could not help but cry. It wasn’t easy even to walk alone, but it was so light.
But Heo Jun did that.
It’s not that it’s completely cured. It’s just that the progression of the disease has been slowed down for a while.
‘That was a service provided because I subscribed. I have to take care of the rest myself.’
Then, I had to increase my proficiency in this false acupuncture that I had learned. So much so that I could use it on myself.
“Okay. Let’s do this properly.”
