I Subscribed to the Channel of Transcendents - Chapter 1

Chapter 1 – Prologue

“What… is this?”

His thoughts are spinning quickly in his head.

A sobering assessment of the current situation.

“…What?”

‘What the hell is this?’

He tried to think and re-think, yet nothing changed.

No matter how much he pondered over it, the conclusion remained the same.

No, really.

He couldn’t figure it out.

He wondered if this was what it would feel like to experience ascension.

Slowly lowering his gaze.

In his hand, he held something small and square.

Smart Phone.

An object that every civilized person in the modern world knows.

It is an object that every modern person has.

It’s a universally recognizable item to the point where you could say ‘anyone’.

It was not at all unreasonable to add the words “dog and cow”¹ at the end.

In short, it’s an exceptionally ordinary item without equal.

The smartphone in his hand.

However, on that supremely ordinary screen.

That is, the top left corner of the smartphone screen.

【GodTube】

It was engraved with a simple phrase.

Underneath it was a list of thumbnail videos.

『(Poppy): What Happens When a Poppy Eats a Poppy?』

『(Thor): Odin, the creator, even gave up on tackling Jormungandr, the world-devouring serpent. 12 minutes and 37 seconds long. Achieved world record in Dimension 1… A speedrun guide shown by a seasoned veteran!』

『(Bruce Lee): The snake that swallows the world, Jormungandr, 0.12-second long. Of course, I’ve beaten him by 0.12 seconds. A newbie’s lightning-fast strategy! (feat. Ip Man: A 0. 14-second kill.)』

『(Jiknyeo): This is the seamless celestial robe I wore when I visited Gu-wu. I will exclusively reveal its production secrets on the Jiaknyeo Channel! (feat. Aphrodite: Sis! The clothes are so beautiful! )』

『(Zhuge Resonance): The reason for entrusting my home to Ma-sok, who is currently under controversy. I will explain. (If you join the membership, you can watch and learn the Insight (S+) characteristic lecture.)』

『(Archangel Michael): A holy sword that can be thrust into demons, purchased from Hephaestus. I used it once on the archdemon Lucifer. Hahaha』

“……”

How in the world can he understand this?

No, should he even call it trying to understand.

Even after repeatedly thinking it over in his mind.

No matter how much he ponders over it.

“……What?”

What could it really be? What is it, really?

His mind is boggled, and his spirit ascends.

Or maybe it was the other way around. Whatever.

Something incomprehensible.

However, in this world, there is no effect without a cause.

If he look back at the earlier circumstances, he might be able to make sense of the current situation, which has now led to his ascension.

So let’s go back in time just a little bit.

No, not even a little bit, but right before this situation just now.

Anyway, let’s rewind a little bit, slowly, very slowly.

“That’s because….”
