Chapter Text

I

Just a reminder that this fic does NOT censor cuss words. And that this fic will have rare ships and a Cale harem. If you're uncomfortable with it you're free to leave. Also, English is not my mother language so there might be some wrong grammar.

And feel free to recommend any chapters from the novel for them to react.

I had decided that the hunters will exist on the plot, and spoiler that they'll finally appear after the short three year peace. So yeah. (The plot is so messed up, that I just want to */neck slashing gesture.)

I would not be using the official names of the characters since it's confusing for me. I'm much more used to their unofficial names.

But I'll be using On's and Beacrox's official names "Ohn" & "Vicross".

I'll also be blurring or editing his thoughts when the misunderstandings start. Because the more the misunderstandings the more fun it is.🥰

Also a reminder that Yoo Joonghyuk and Kim Dokja is the only ship that's official in this fic. Like they're a couple here? Ah, and Yoo Joonghyuk and Kim Dokja are like a parental figure to Cale.

(Gosh I can't believe I revealed this info so early.)

The tboah timeline is after the plaza terror incident.

Tboah characters would have a ‹ Tboah!Insert Character > while LCF characters would just have their names written.

I won't be putting a ‹ LCF!Insert Character >.

The characters on the prologue that doesn't have a ‹ tboah! > Meaning that LCF characters still haven't arrived yet.

Starting now, the chapters will be longer compared to the prologue!!

Everyone is finally seated and is waiting for the reaction to start.

"Ah right. I forgot to do something."

'Forgot?'

Is what is on everyone's mind at this given moment.

"Cale and Rok Soo, do you mind saying the deal with the God of Death to everyone while standing on the platform?"

Cale flinched.

He didn't expect that he needed to do it right now.

Many thoughts started appearing in his mind.

What if they abandoned me? What if they hate me? What if I would lose them again? How would the Henituse family react? Ron and Vicross too?

His stoic mask cracked.

While those thoughts were hunting his mind down and his mask cracked, a rough hand and a soft hand landed on both of his hands.

The owner of those hands intertwined theirs on Cale's hands and squeezed it.

"It's alright if you don't want to. We'll just do it when you're comfortable enough. We're not forcing you."

"What Rok Soo said is right, Cale. We're not forcing you. We'll just do it when you're comfortable enough, hm?"

Kim Rok Soo and Carmine softly smiled at Cale to try to ease his mind a bit.

"N-no... I'll do it. Everyone also needs to know the truth. Especially Ron, Vicross and the Henituse family."

The Henituse family tilted their heads in confusion.

Cale bit his lips and squeezed his hand with Carmine's and Kim Rok Soo's.

"If that's what you want."

Carmine sighs in defeat. She can't say no to Cale.

While Kim Rok Soo just chuckled.

Cale and Kim Rok Soo stand up while their hands are still intertwined and go to the platform.

"Are you sure about this?"

Kim Rok Soo asks worriedly.

Cale just nodded as a response.

'Ah... It seems like Carmine-nim is talking about the transmigration thing. I hope everyone reacts positively.'

Alberu seems to know what Carmine meant too. 

Both he and Choi Han looked at Cale worriedly.

Kim Rok Soo opened his mouth to speak.

"Hello everyone, I'm Kim Rok Soo previously known as Cale Henituse."

Everyone gasps.

"Ah- um.. hello everyone... I'm Cale Henituse, previously known as Kim Rok Soo."

Everyone gasps for the second time.

Cale squeezed Kim Rok Soo's hand for support and looked down.

Refusing to look at anyone's eyes.

"For me, human is still human!"

Raon takes off his invisibility and flies toward Cale.

Everyone gasps for the third time.

"Yes nya! Cale is still Cale!"

Hong followed behind Raon and ran toward Cale.

Ohn just stays silent but still follows behind her two dongsaengs. 

'Ho? A dragon with a human? I didn't think I'd witness this in my last 1000 years of living.'

Tboah!Eruhaben sends Cale and Raon an amused gaze.

Cale looked at the children with shaking eyes and soon smiled. It's not his usual "scammer smile" but his genuine smile.

He's relieved. He's really relieved.

He then picked up the kids on his arms and buried his face on their bodys. 

(A/N: should I just put scale and furs-)

Everyone stayed on their seats unmoving. 

'That smile should be illegal!'

Is what is on everyone's mind while their mouths are dropped open.

How could someone be this heavenly when they smile?!

"See? I told you the children will accept you whoever you are."

Kim Rok Soo smiled softly at Cale.

That smile definitely killed many ladies' hearts, But moving on.

Cale just weakly nodded with a small smile still on his face while still avoiding everyone's gaze.

"I don't know what's happening but I agree with the black dragon! My friend is still my friend!"

Toonka laughed loudly with a big grin on his face.

"I agree with Toonka."

Harol smiled while nodding his head.

"I also agree. We don't care whoever is on young master Cale's body, the young master that saved my brother is still the same young master. Isn't that right, Paseton?"

Witira smiled while looking at Paseton.

Paseton nodded his head with a smile on his face. 

"Young master-nim is the one who saved us and gave us home, so we accept him whoever he is."

Lock smiled while his siblings agreed on his statement with big grins.

Tboah!Lock looked at Maes and his other siblings with wide and shaking eyes. He didn't expect his siblings to be alive in another dimension. But he's glad.

He's really glad his siblings get to live. Even if it's from another world. 

"As expected of Cale-nim! Cale-nim even experienced transmigration! As expected of my go-"

Before Clopeh could finish his sentence a rose gold colored chain dragged him to the other corner of the room where no one could hear him. 

Everyone pretended not to notice what just happened to Clopeh. Because just like what they said, “ignorance is bliss.”

Soon, everyone in Cale's group started agreeing with Lock. 

Oh, Cale really felt like crying.

Cale finally looked at his people with a smile. Except for the Molans and the Henituse family. They're the ones who still haven't spoken yet.

He assumes it's because they still can't believe it and is angry right now. 

"I'm relieved. I'm really, really relieved."

They have to squint their eyes while looking at Cale's smile. It's much brighter than Alberu's smile. 

'Heh. That's my dongsaeng's smile for you.'

Kim Rok Soo stood there smugly while looking at everyone.

The duchess of Henituse family finally spoke with a smile.

"Then I guess we have another son, isn't that right dear?"

"I guess so."

Deruth warmly smiled at Cale.

'I may have failed as a father to my previous son, but I'll try my best this time.'

Is the meaning of his smile.

"So does that mean I have three orabuni's now!?"

Lily excitedly spoke.

"It seems to be that way Lily."

Basen smiles.

Cale finally looked at them. 

With shaking eyes that is. 

He didn't expect them to accept it. 

This fast. 

He saw Ron with his usual benign smile. There's no hint of anger in his smile nor eyes.

Vicross just stood there. He seems to not care who's on Cale's body at all. Probably because the Cale that saved his father is him? Who knows.

"Huh?"

"That pretty unnie once experience of becoming a guy?"

"What do you mean by unnie, Jihye?"

Kim Dokja tilted his head to show his confusion.

"Pfft-!"

Kim Namwoon's suppressed laughter became a background music for both Kim Dokja and Lee Jihye.

"Huh? Isn't she a female?"

Lee Jihye asks with a dumbfounded expression.

"No? Cale is a guy?"

"Huh?

"Hm?"

"Pfft-! Kekeke-!"

"Jihye unnie, did you mistake Cale oppa as a female ever since you saw him?"

Shin Yoosung innocently asked.

"Yes...?"

"That's understandable. Gong Pildu also mistakes Cale as a girl."

Jung Heewon chuckled and shook her head as if she still couldn't believe it.

Lee Jihye sat there unmoving.

"But why is he in a Chinese dress that is made for females?!"

Jihye asks in shock.

"You didn't know? Cale's mother wants a girl but turns out she got a boy. She was disappointed but still raised him right. But Cale noticed how his mother always said that she always wanted a daughter but she got Cale instead, but she was still happy based on what Cale said. He also said the reason he's wearing a chinese dress meant for females. He said he wears it to make his mother happy. And that's also the reason why he kinda look feminine like?"

Yoo Joonghyuk nonchalantly spoke.

"And that's what makes him a lovable child."

Jung Heewon smiled while Kim Dokja nodded.

Lee Jihye and Han Sooyoung looked at Yoo Joonghyuk with a shocked expression.

I mean, Yoo Joonghyuk never spoke long sentences. He always spoke with short sentences or gave short answers.

That's why they're in shock.

"Get used to it. This old man always spoke with long sentences whenever Cale-nim is mentioned or is the topic."

Kim Namwoon pats Lee Jihye's shoulders in sympathy who's still in shock.

Probably still processing what she just witnessed.

"Rok Soo keep talking."

"Ah, right. Roan Kingdom was burnt to the ground and a war broke out. As all of you know, It lasted for twenty years and I was the only survivor of the Henituse family."

Multiple gasps were heard.

Some pitying gazes were sent his way, yet he ignored it all and continued speaking when he felt the squeeze on his hands.

"I was forty years old when I got killed by the White Star, and at that moment the God of Death offered a deal. A deal where I'll get to live again in another person's body, and the world would regress when I was still eighteen years old, the body of the person I would be possessing would be possessing my body too. He also said that the original fate of the world might change because of this person who possesses my body."

(A/N: I forgot the whole detail of the deal 〒﹏〒. Just pretend he already says the whole detail.)

'Ah... So he's a regressor... I guess that's what R#gr#■■#r meant on his attributes window...'

Kim Dokja thought with a little nod.

"So young master Cale doesn't know anything about the deal? He just woke up on another body without his consent?"

Litana has a frown on her face as she asks that question.

"Yes."

Kim Rok Soo answered with a hint of guilt in his voice.

"If you're really the future me, why did you accept the deal?"

Tboah!Cale narrowed one of his eyebrows at Kim Rok Soo.

"He said he'll tell me the truth about mother's death."

Kim Rok Soo regained his composure and answered in a calm demeanor.

"What? The truth of our mother's death?"

Tboah!Cale asked with wide eyes.

Both Deruth from tboah and LCF timeline also have wide eyes.

"Yes. God of Death also told me that mother got reincarnated on earth, Cale's original world."

Kim Rok Soo pointed at his side.

Cale gave a little wave.

'Well, Cale's soul is not originally from earth but I guess I'll just shut up.'

Carmine shrugged her shoulders, and continued sipping her wine.

"Carmine will probably tell you or show you the reason of mother's death."

Carmine spitted out the wine in her mouth and looked at Kim Rok Soo with wide eyes.

'Why are you passing the task to me!?'

Is the message her eyes are telling.

Kim Rok Soo just turned around and dragged Cale along with him on their seat beside Tboah!Cale while avoiding Carmine's gaze.

"Sigh... We'll start the reaction now."

She announced while shaking her head.

"If you can't read any of the paragraphs it means you can't view it because of privacy."

Carmine added.

Everyone nodded.

"Let's react to Cale saving Raon Miru first before we start with the wars."

"Wait, hold on. What do you mean by 'Cale' Miss Carmine? Didn't you say that we will be watching the point of view of the person who made the war finished in only two years?"

A random noble asked.

"That person is Cale."

And then the bomb was dropped.

"W-what?! How is that possible!?"

"Everything is possible around Cale."

Carmine responded with a deadpan expression.

'Common sense does not even exist around him.' Is left unsaid.

"Excuse me, Miss Carmine?"

"Yes? What is it Alberu?"

"Who is Raon Miru?"

"The black dragon that flies toward Cale earlier."

"I see, Thank you."

Carmine just nodded.

The object in front finally lit up and displayed some words.

[Chapter 18: Saw A Dragon (1)]

"Chapter? As in like a novel?"

"That's right Kim Dokja. You'll be watching and reading Cale's point of view. For example, I can switch it from reading to watching whenever I please." 

'That really doesn't explain anything but okay.'

["Have you ever seen a dragon?"

"...A dragon?"

"Yes."

"I've seen something similar once."]

"Ho? There's a creature similar to us, dragons?"

Eruhaben looked amused.

The elves look quite interested in this development.

Choi Han, who knows what he will say, just looked down.

While Cale's admirers are frowning /so hard they look like a squashed apple pie/ because Choi Han is in the same room with Cale. 

All. Alone.

It made them want to immediately eliminate him from the harem *that Cale doesn't know he had*.

['Similar, my ass.'

Cale knew what Choi Han was talking about when he said something similar.

Forest of Darkness. He was talking about the vicious monsters deep inside the Forest of Darkness. Among those terrifying monsters were creatures that were somewhere between lizards and dragons.

Choi Han had killed that dragon-like monster as soon as he advanced from the middle stage to the final stage of his Dark Destruction Sword Art.]

Tboah!Choi Han frowned while reading the paragraphs.

'How did the transmigrator know that?'

Multiple offended gasps were heard. It was obviously from the elves and both Rasheel.

"How dare that mere human compare the dragon-nims to those ugly lizards!!?"

A bystander elf shouted, obviously offended.

Rasheel from both timelines nodded.

"Strong Choi Han, we dragons are not monsters!"

Raon shouted at Choi Han with a frown.

"I'm really sorry, dragon-nims and Raon-nim if I offended you. I already realized that, after spending time with Eruhaben-nim and Raon-nim, that dragons are not monsters."

Choi Han immediately spoke.

Cale silently chuckled *but it was heard by everyone* at Choi Han's stiff expression.

Choi Han blushed and quickly looked away.

'This is nice! My ship is improving little by little!'

Rosalyn had twinkling stars in her eyes while looking at the interaction between Choi Han and Cale.

She then turned to the other women and smugly smirks.

Her smirk implying, 'Heh, do you see that? That's what you call an improvement.'

The other women who have their own ships just glared at Rosalyn.

While Cale's male suitors glared daggers at Choi Han.

And of course those didn't go unnoticed by Kim Rok Soo and Cale's father and father figures.

'I need to protect my son... He's still innocent and I'm still not ready for marriage.'

'Ho~ it seems like my son's rival is getting an improvement on his relationship with young master-nim. Should I just eliminate him?'

Ron thought with a murderous glint on his eyes.

'No I can't do that. Young master-nim might find it suspicious when that punk suddenly went missing.'

Ron shakes his head.

'My son is surrounded by mosquitos... Which is not very good. If I could just kill those mosquitos it would be satisfactory for me, but my son would find it suspicious.'

'... Unlucky bastard.'

'Fucking flys are surrounding my dongsaeng. If only I could snap their heads, I would have done it earlier.'

'Hoho it seems like Cale have more flies surrounding him in the world he's in.'

Kim Dokja obviously has bloodlust surrounding him.

And lastly Yoo Joonghyuk- yep we don't talk about Yoo Joonghyuk.

["You did? How was it?"

Cale pretended to not know about the event, and asked Choi Han. Choi Han was the only other person in Cale's room right now.]

"Glenn! don't you think that sounds quite misleading-"

Cough!

Tboah!Cale choked on his wine, while Kim Rok Soo choked on his saliva.

Kim Rok Soo then glared at Bud while a bloodlust was surrounding him.

Slap!

"Ouchie! Gleeennnn!"

Bud shouted with a pout on his face while rubbing the back of his head.

Glenn whispered at him with a murderous intent.

"If you're planning on dying, don't drag me with you, you stupid mercenary king."

"What do you-"

"Look around you stupid idiot."

After Glenn said that he finally noticed the bloodlust coming from Kim Rok Soo, Cale's admirers and father figures. And also unknown two people with the same features as Choi Han.

'Eeek! What the fuck! I really should watch my mouth.'

Bud thought with a stiff face.

And he's obviously scared.

I mean look at the man's pale face and the cold sweat dripping on his forehead!

"Sometimes I wonder how did you even manage to become the mercenary king with your stupidity." Glenn exasperatedly whispered.

Bud is now truly offended.

["...It was a monster."

"How so?"

"It's appearance, it's strength, everything. It was a monster in all aspects."

"Is that so?"]

The dragons and elves in the room once again frowned.

[Cale nodded his head and continued to speak. But his actions and his words were completely opposite.

"Then you have not seen a dragon."

"Excuse me?"

"Dragons are like people."

Clack. Cale put the cup with the lemonade that was both sweet and sour down on the table. He then responded to Choi Han, who was looking at him with curiosity.]

Tboah!Cale and Kim Rok Soo grimace when they see the lemonade part.

["Dragons, Beast people, Dwarves, Elves, they are all like humans. Why? Because they also have emotions and lives."]

“It seems like the dragons on Cale oppa's world are different from our world's dragons.”

Shin Yoosung whispered.

“Well duh. Cale hyung is living in a fantasy world, so of course the dragons in his world are different from ours.”

Lee Gilyoung sarcastically replied as he rolled his eyes.

Shin Yoosung ignored her as usual.

The races that were mentioned are happy a human also think about their emotions and lives.

"Young master Cale really is kind."

Litana smiled warmly at the screen.

"Young master-nim is indeed very kind."

Jack agreed with Litana with a blush on his cheeks and a smile. Feeling a little embarrassed.

'Huh? When did I become kind?'

Cale tilted his head to the side /like a kitten making him look cute/.

Kim Rok Soo just shook his head side to side, obviously done with his dongsaeng's dense personality.

[That aspect wasn't important to Cale. His main point started from here.

"However."

Choi Han might have noticed Cale's sudden change in demeanor. He sat up straight and focused on what Cale had to say.]

Everyone subconsciously straightened their posture, just like the Choi Han on the screen.

They have a bad feeling. 

[Tap.

Cale tapped the table with his index finger.

"It is being forced to become an existence without rationality."]

"What! Such an inhumane thing to do!"

Raon leans closer to Cale's stomach.

Cale started patting Raon's scales.

"It's alright now, Raon. You're not in the cave anymore."

Cale whispered to Raon in a very comforting manner, massaging Raon's arms and legs in a sooting manner, muttering comforting words to ease the mental and physical torture his son ward, experienced.

"Hey Glenn."

"Ugh... What."

Glenn looked at Bud with a frown on his face, looking so done with life.

Bud pretended to not notice Glenn's expression and continued with his question.

"Don't you think Cale looks like a mother to Raon-nim right now?"

Bud whispered in a very quiet voice hoping no one would hear him. But unlucky for him everyone in the room has heightened senses. 

Well except for Cale.

Well he do have heightened senses, but not exactly like his party have. He have to concentrate first to hear the smallest sounds he could ever hear.

The kittens and Raon's tails wagged rapidly. And Raon's wings fluttered. Indicating their joy.

The womens just cooed at the childrens' cuteness, while Cale looked at the childrens with a confused look.

'If I think about what the mercenary king said, my dongsaeng indeed looks like a mother to Raon-nim right now. He looks like a mom material... I wonder if he can be a wife material too...'

Alberu thought with visible red hue on his cheeks. 

Tasha who's beside him smiles in a knowing manner, as if knowing his thoughts. Well smirk to be exact?

[Tap.

He tapped on the table once again.

"It has had to suffer through its loneliness, without any family or anything to lean on."]

The temperature around the room quickly dropped when they read the last sentence.

It was at that moment.

A suffocating aura suddenly appeared and filled the room.

The aura is so suffocating that the dragons even let out a groan.

"Cale stop it. You're suffocating everyone in the room."

"Ah. Sorry about that."

Cale apologized, but he didn't sound a little apologetic at all. He returned to reading as if nothing happened.

After that short experience everyone mentally wrote to never mess with the transmigrator's children.

[Tap.

Choi Han's gaze fell every time Cale's finger tapped the table. Choi Han's fists were clenched underneath the table, to the point you could see his veins starting to flare up. Cale did not know about this, as he continued on.

"It is tortured and abused every day, and is only left alone when it is barely alive."]

"Tortured?! Who's brave enough to do that to a dragon?!"

"Tsk. Such a cowardly act to tame a dragon."

Mila frowned. 

"I can't believe a human would go that far just to tame a dragon. Tsk tsk. Humans nowadays."

Eruhaben shows his displeasure and shakes his head side to side with a frown on his beautiful face.

[Choi Han's expression stiffened, and anger was in his eyes. Cale knew Choi Han would react this way. There was no way a good person like this would not get angry after hearing such a story. He should also have figured out why Cale brought up such a story in the first place.]

"... Cale-nim, you're also a good person."

"No I'm not."

Cale quickly responded to Choi Han with a frown on his face.

Cale's party who expected that response just sighs and shakes their heads.

Really. They need to work on Cale's personality by downgrading himself.

[Cale took another sip of his lemonade, before finishing up his story.]

"I'm sorry to break the atmosphere but, why do you still drink the lemonade when it's obvious you don't like it?"

Tboah!Cale asked with a deadpan expression.

Cale just slowly turned his head to tboah!Cale and sent the message with his eyes.

‹ Do you really think I can just say to Ron that I want another drink except for lemonade? I don't want to get killed much earlier than I planned. ›

Tboah!Cale who seems to get the message just looked at Cale with a blank expression.

["And that existence is nearby."

A short silence filled the room. Cale looked out the window, before slowly turning his gaze to look at Choi Han. He didn't know what Choi Han was thinking about, but his whole body was surrounded by a bloody aura.]

Kim Rok Soo, Tboah!Cale and Cale from the LCF side just have one word on their minds.

'vicious.'

['Is he getting angry at the fact that it is abused because he is a good person?'

Contrary to Cale's hypothesis, Choi Han was currently recalling the tens of years he had to survive on his own in the Forest of Darkness.]

"Tens of years?! Choi Han, how old are you?"

Rosalyn asked with wide eyes.

"Ah... Um... I don't know myself."

Choi Han responded to Rosalyn who sweat dropped 

[That was why the silence continued for a while. Finally, Choi Han made eye contact with Cale and asked.

"Will you save it and try to tame it?"]

"Ha! Considering him being trash he will obviously tame the dragon."

A random noble from tboah side shamelessly states his comment.

Many people quickly looked at that noble and shot him glares that were sharp as a sword.

Bloodlust coming out of them.

"Stop."

Just by one word those dark auras and the bloodlust surrounding Cale's people quickly disappeared.

'...They look like tamed puppies what the fuck...'

Carmine sweat dropped while looking at the scene.

["Are you crazy?"

"Excuse me?"

Cale acted on reflex, and asked back in shock. Choi Han also became shocked at Cale's questioning his sanity.

"Why would I try to tame it?"

Cale waved his hand around like Choi Han was crazy.]

Many people doubted his words since it's a dragon. A dragon! Who wouldn't want a dragon? Obviously, stupid people.

This human is amusing to the dragons.

It's rare to find people like him nowadays.

But they, too, doubted his words.

[There was no way that a dragon that was abused by humans would be willing to serve a human. In fact, it probably was full of hate and disgust for any and all humans. Even if that human was the person that saved it.]

The dragons nodded their heads.

[Dragons believe that they are above all creatures, including humans. This is a natural instinct for dragons, so, even without being in contact with any other Dragon in its whole life, it will still feel this way.

That was why dragons cannot grow under humans. This attitude makes it impossible to domesticate and train Dragons without using torture and abuse to break down its mind.]

"You seem knowledgeable about dragons, human."

Tboah!Eruhaben commented in an amused tone.

The dragons from both timelines nodded with also an amused gaze.

'I'm knowledgeable about dragons because of the novel.'

Is what Cale wanted to say but afraid that he might anger the dragon.

And they'll probably ask 'what novel?' he's too lazy to answer and explain it to them.

['Dragons are born extremely arrogant. But, most importantly, if I raise a dragon...'

Cale could feel it. He felt like he would get wrapped up in some annoying incidents if he raised a dragon.]

"Even if you don't raise a dragon you'll still get wrapped up in annoying incidents."

Alberu accidentally blurted his thoughts out loud.

Cale looked at Alberu with a blank expression.

'Nephew!!! What the heck are you doing!!? You should focus on improving your relationship with young master Cale not annoy him!!!'

Tasha internally cried tears of blood and screamed.

[There were less than twenty total dragons in the Eastern and Western continents combined. Raise one of those dragons? That was pretty much the same as saying, 'I will be at the center of all the happenings of the continents.'

It was also a dragon that was supposed to die. It would be better for it to go off into its own little world and not get in anyone's way.]

"Cale, what does the narrator mean?"

Sherritt asks in horror.

Raon also looked like he wanted to know. His shaking eyes couldn't hide his horror.

'Oh shit. What excuse should I give? Should I tell them the truth? But Choi Han from <The Birth of a Hero> timeline would surely get angry because of making his despair an entertainment for people and he might beat me up too. Our Choi Han wouldn't do that to me right?'

Cale might look calm on the outside but his mind is full of chaos.

'Yeah let's choose the second option. I have the vitality of the heart anyway.'

"I know that because of-"

Before Cale could continue with his sentence someone interrupted him.

"He knows that because of Janus, The God of Past and Future. Janus blessed Cale and kept visiting him in his dreams and kept showing him some paintings. 

Including Raon going berserk and putting the village he's in on fire. Cale once asked Janus what the paintings he keeps showing to Cale meant, and Janus said that the paintings he shows to Cale are the events that's gonna take place in the future.

And of course Cale being a GOOD person he is has decided to just free the little dragon."

(A/N: my search history is full of Greek gods ffs. And yes I know he's the God of Beginnings, endings, doorways, transitions and time but I'll be using God of Past and Future since he's also the God of Beginnings and Endings.)

Everyone gasps at the new found information.

While Cale looked at Carmine in betrayal. He sends Carmine a message through his eyes.

‹ Why the fuck are you lying noona? There's no God of Past and Future or whatnot that's visiting on my dreams so what the fuck are you talking about? ›

Everyone who saw Cale's face that seemed to be saying 'the betrayal' was misinterpreted and thought that Cale didn't want anyone to know about the fact that he got blessed by a god.

Then everyone remembered what the White Star said in their battle on the Stan household three years ago.

(A/N: was it the Stan household?🤔 I really need to re-read the novel sigh...)

Cale Henituse, the man who receives the will of a god.

Many people looked at him in admiration.

< I apologize Cale, but we can't tell them the truth. The 'prime mover' has ordered me to lie. I cannot defy her orders. >

Carmine apologetically responds to Cale with her gaze.

In a place far, far away a person with two faces sneezed.

'Is someone talking bad about me?' 

Janus looked around in wonder and then shrugged off the ominous feeling he's having.

Cough!

Carmine coughed to gather everyone's attention. 

She then started to open her mouth.

"A, anyways, let's continue." 

[Cale was definitely against this dragon coming with them. As long as he gets rid of the mana restriction chains, this four year old dragon will live a much better life than Cale. Dragons weren't called the kings of the world since birth for no reason.]

The dragons on both sides are oddly happy just from a human's praise.

"Oh my god! The dragon is only four year old!?"

"Whoever the person did that to a four year old deserves not only despair but also torture."

"Right. We should find that person and give them to the dragon-nims."

Many people who's discussing what to do to the mastermind of the torture of the little dragon nods their heads while having a creepy aura surrounding them.

(a/n: honestly speaking, when i was writing this, i was imagining them having a creepy aura a cult members would have lol)

Both Venions who heard the conversation are already shaking in fear. 

["Then?"

"Why are you asking such an obvious question?"

Cale laughed at Choi Han's question before he answered.

"Let it go so it can live a free and peaceful life. Shouldn't a dragon live like a dragon?"]

The dragons nodded their heads.

A dragon should indeed live like a dragon.

The dragons' doubt over this human decreases a little bit.

["...I see."

Choi Han's clenched fists slowly started to relax.

"Then will we be saving that dragon?"

"Yes. So I need your help."

"Anything. I really will do anything to help."

Cale was worried that Choi Han would escalate the situation, and shook his head.

"No need to go overboard. I have no plans to kill anybody, if possible, either. We will do it as quietly as possible."

"Cale-nim, you really-"

Choi Han started to speak with admiration, but Cale looked at the clock, before cutting him off and saying what he needed to say.

"Go tell Ron to prepare some alcohol on the first floor."

"Are diff- what?"]

"Ha! A trash is still trash huh?"

A random noble sneered at the screen.

An aura a little weaker than Cale's aura suddenly filled the room.

"Hoho, it seems like you're asking for an early death, hm?"

Kim Dokja gently smiled at the noble while leaking his status as the Demon King of Salvation.

Kim Rok Soo and Cale stopped what they're doing and remained frozen on their seats.

Cale then sends Kim Rok Soo a message through his eyes.

‹ It's not him right? ›

‹ P-probably? I don't know! the person that spoke just now sounds exactly just like Dokja-ssi! ›

‹ No, it's probably not Dokja-ssi, the person probably just has the same voice! Pfft yeah. ›

‹ Right, I guess you're right dongsaeng. ›

Rok Soo nodded his head while his eyes were closed.

"What the fuck are you two doing?"

Kim Namwoon looked at the two as if they've grown two heads.

"Kyak!"

A high pitch yelp came out of Cale's mouth.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The room went silent, the screen stopped playing and the aura earlier disappeared.

"Cale-nim you-"

"Shut up Namwoon, that's not me!"

Cale shouted while his face is red as a tomato.

"Pff- hehe-"

Carmine covered her mouth while looking at her side.

Cale sents Carmine a glare.

Carmine who seemed to receive the glare looked down at the floor.

"O-oh! l, look at this floor! Haha! What an interesting floor!"

Carmine nervously laughed.

Cale looked at his side and saw Kim Rok Soo's shoulders moving up and down while covering his mouth. 

Tboah Cale is also holding in his laugh while gripping the armchair and his shoulders moving up and down.

'Ah... these bastards...'

Cale really wants to punch Carmine, Kim Rok Soo and Tboah!Cale right now but he has to keep it in. The kids might pick up some bad habits. It might not happen but still, just being safe alright?

'Damn it. I'm rethinking my life decisions.'

The womens on the room who immediately looked at Cale when they heard his yelp covered their mouths, holding in the urge to squeal.

The screen resumed playing after that brief amount of time.

[He started drinking even though it was the middle of the day. Choi Han just sat there with confusion on his face while looking around. Everybody other than himself looked peaceful.

In the middle of that peaceful environment was Cale Henituse, drinking bottle after bottle. The growing flush on his face made anybody who was watching him know that he was drunk.

"Is it okay to let him drink so much?"

Choi Han looked toward Hans, who was next to him, and asked. Deputy butler Hans was delivering food to On and Hong, who were in their cat form. He still did not know that they were part of the Cat Tribe. He then refreshingly answered Choi Han's question.

"Yes! There is nothing in his hand. Thus, it is safe! He promised he won't throw any bottles!"

Choi Han was talking about Cale's safety, but Hans was referring to themselves. Choi Han just shut up after seeing the conversation take an odd turn, and moved away from Hans. It was better to leave Hans alone when he was next to the kittens. Instead, Choi Han looked toward Cale to make sure he was safe.]

Tboah!Cale snorts. This butler of his counterpart seems to be more bold than his butler.

Litana frowns while reading the paragraphs.

"Young master-nim I'm sorry for not looking out for your safety that day. My past self is still blind on that day and still doesn't know how kind and caring our young master is. I'll be taking any punishment for my mistake."

Hans dramatically apologises to Cale.

Cale looked at Hans with a blank look.

"Sigh... It's alright. And why should I punish you? Past is past."

Cale responded to Hans with a frown on his face.

'Our young master-nim really is so kind!! What did I do to deserve such kindness??!!'

Hans sents Cale a look of admiration.

Everyone also sends him a look of admiration.

Especially the servants from other households. They never saw a young master that's kind to their servants. They look at Hans with envy.

On the other side...

'Why the hell does he look like that? Plus what I said is true. Punishing Hans is too much work.'

Cale swallowed the sigh that wanted to come out of his throat.

["Owner. Your alcohol tastes great! Much better than I expected."

Cale didn't seem to know that Choi Han was looking at him, instead focusing on just praising the alcohol. They had been drinking for two hours already. There were some who were not drinking, just in case something happened, but the majority of the envoy was enjoying the festive atmosphere.

'They were all so nervous for the first hour, tsk.'

When Cale had ordered them to gather, as he would be drinking, the soldiers showed up with their helmets on. Cale couldn't believe it, but told them that he will not throw any bottles to help them relax.]

"Pfft! They really showed up with their helmets on!"

Tboah!Cale laughed freely with vitality on his face and voice.

Everyone on tboah timeline is very shocked at this development. They never expect the trash to laugh. Well from the very start, they expect him to throw a tantrum or break some things in the room when he finds something unpleasant or upsetting. But he's surprisingly well behaved and now, he's laughing. The so-called trash of the continent is laughing. 

They stared, agape, at the trash who is currently laughing. The sharp and stoic him, nowhere to be found.

The Henituse family from tboah timeline is the most shocked in this development. I mean, all of their life living on the same roof, they never saw him show any positive emotions. Only emotions that can be called negative.

They swallowed the bitter feeling down and just smiled at him. If he's happy, then, might as well be happy for him, isn't that right?

Even if they're not that reason for making him laugh.

The silence that filled the room made tboah!Cale stop laughing.

"What?"

He spoke in an annoyed tone and a visible scowl on his face.

Everyone quickly turned their heads to the screen.

Nope. They've seen and heard nothing.

The screen resumed playing.

["This village may be small, but there are a lot of mountains around it. The alcohol is a special alcohol I made with fruit and herbs from the mountain. That is why it is a bit expensive."

As the old man mentioned, the alcohol really did taste great. Cale admired the alcohol, and lifted the bottle up to the old man.

"Do you have a lot of these?"

"Yes. Quite a bit."

"Then get some more and send it around to everybody here."

"Young master, you don't need to-"

The Vice Captain shouted out with a flushed face, but his eyes were focused on the bottle in Cale's hand. The rest of the soldiers were looking at the same thing. Naturally, Cale was aware of what they were thinking.

"Just drink. I'm telling you to drink. Got it?"

The eyes of the soldiers who were present all started to sparkle. It was the first time they became excited to see a bottle in Cale's hands.

Cale watched the excited inn owner bring alcohol and snacks for everyone there with a sharp gaze.

Cale Henituse. This human had a strong alcohol tolerance. Everybody thought he had a low tolerance because his face flushed easily and he caused a ruckus whenever he drank, but the truth was that he did all those things without being drunk at all.]

Everyone is surprised at the sudden revelation. Really, there are so many surprises they have to face in this place.

'Why does my secret have to get revealed...'

Tboah!Cale groaned.

'What?! So he insulted the villagers with a clear mind?!'

Tboah!Choi Han gritted his teeth while a bloody aura surrounded him.

'Sigh.... I guess I had to lower their aura or powers for a little bit... I don't want my furnitures to get destroyed...I didn't get paid enough to deal with this shit....'

"Huh?—"

Suddenly, Tboah!Choi Han's aura weakened.

"Violence is not allowed in my domain."

Carmine coldly states.

Everyone felt a chill run down on their spine when they heard Carmine's voice. 

Right. This woman is a goddess. How could they forget? Just because she's staying silent that doesn't mean she can't punish them for being loud or for committing violence on her domain.

"We shall continue."

Carmine said in the same indifferent voice.

She might look stoic outside, but in reality, she's panicking in her mind.

'shitshitshitshitshitshitshit, I didn't mean to say that in a cold voice, fuck!'

[That was why Cale's head was perfectly clear right now. He drank for another thirty minutes or so before looking toward Choi Han and starting to speak.

"Choi Han. Come support me. I'm going up to rest now."

"Young master, I will do it."

"It's okay. Vice Captain, rest a bit today. The rest of the soldiers as well. Didn't you fight in a battle yesterday? This is not a dangerous area, and I feel bad for the soldiers on guard duty, but the rest of you can relax and enjoy yourselves."

"Young master-"

"I'm tired. Bye."

It would become complicated if the Vice Captain or the others followed him. Thankfully, none of them approached after seeing Choi Han supporting him. It was probably because Choi Han did not drink at all, and was also the strongest person there. They had nothing to worry about since such a person was going to be guarding Cale.

'Just one person left.'

It was easy to avoid the guards at the gate and around the inn, but Ron was still left. Hans and Ron would never come into the room if he told them not to come in. However, the difference between the two was that Hans was not skilled enough to know if Cale was still in the room, while Ron was so skilled that he would easily be able to tell if Cale snuck out.

'It's not like that old man, Ron will care about what I am doing anyway.']

Tboah!Ron and Tboah!Cale both felt a pang in their hearts.

'...'

'...'

"Young master, this servant will always worry about you."

Ron states with his usual benign smile. But of course, that smile looks different in Cale's eyes.

'How vicious.'

Cale avoided Ron's gaze.

'I guess me and him are, after all, different...'

Tboah!Cale smiled bitterly with a hint of envy. 

[Realistically, Ron would not care whether Cale snuck out and what he did once he snuck out. That was how he had been until now. However, Cale didn't want things to get annoying in the future, so he decided to tell Ron in advance.

Seeing Ron follow behind Choi Han, Cale quickly informed Ron.

"Ron, I'm going to go out to play. It's a secret. Got it?"]

"Play? Really?"

Tboah!Bud commented with a deadpan expression.

"What do you want me to say? Do you want me to straight up say what I'm going to do? 'Ron, I'm going to steal a dragon and screw a person over.' like that?"

Cale replied to Tboah!Bud in a sarcastic manner.

[This old man liked to drink, but did not drink a single drop tonight. Instead, he was just staring at Cale all night. He really was a scary person. This benign smile that Ron was giving him right now was even scarier.

"I understand. I will be waiting for you."

"No need."

'...What a funny joke.'

As expected, Ron agreed without saying anything else. Cale continued to be supported by Choi Han as he went into his room.

"I'm going to be resting. Hans, Ron, don't come in to wake me up unless it is an emergency. You know how I get when someone messes with my sleep, right?"

In the past, a servant received a barrage of swearing when they had to wake Cale up in Ron's place. Although Cale did not physically hit anybody, that servant went around the estate telling all the other servants about how he felt like he was hit by a flurry of swear punches.]

Both Ron narrowed their one brow on the screen.

They didn't know that this happened in the past. But it seems like they need to have a nice "talk" with that person.

As Deruth read the paragraphs, he had made up his mind that he will gather all of the servants throughout the estate and fire those who talk bad about his son, as soon as this is over. 

"Poor young master Cale... Such a kind man has to experience this in his own house..."

Litana mumbles while a frown appears on her face.

Tboah!Litana heard her counterpart's mumble.

'I know myself and I know, I won't trust or make a statement about someone like that, only if they're indeed a nice and noble person... So did my counterpart get fooled, or... She's telling the truth...?'

Tboah!Litana frowns as she's having that thought.

["...Of course I do, young master. Please rest well."

"Young master, this Ron will be standing right outside your room."

Cale's expression stiffened at Ron's response, but he watched the two of them leave, before stealthily giving an order to Choi Han.

"Use the windows to quietly come back to my room."]

"Cale. You know that will lead to a misunderstanding right?"

Cough!

Many people looked away with blushes on their cheeks. They'll probably visit the church of the God they worship after this is all over.

Through instinct, Tboah!Cale clicked his tongue in annoyance. He doesn't know why he feels annoyed thinking about the transmigrator having a lover, but he knows the forty year old him knows why. He'll ask him later.

"What do you mean by that Bud? I'm just simply telling Han-yah to go to my room since we'll discuss the plan on how to save Raon?"

Cale tilted his head to show his confusion.

Choi Han blushes when he hears Cale call him "Han-yah," Now he has something to brag about to Cale's other suitors.

Alberu and the other suitors frowned and clicked their tongues, due to jealousy.

All they can think about is how lucky Choi Han is.

"Aigoo... Are you just dense or you're just too innocent to know that what you just said can be misinterpreted in many ways?"

Cale still has the look of confusion on his face.

"I would appreciate it if you don't talk anymore, sir, mercenary king."

Ron benignly smiled at Bud while a murderous aura is emmiting out of Ron's body.

'That is definitely a threat.'

Bud quickly zipped his mouth, not wanting to get killed by this old assassin.

[Choi Han nodded his head and quickly followed the other two out of the room and closed the door.

Meeeeeow.

“Is it time now?”

Cale nodded his head at On and Hong, who followed him up to his room, and immediately opened the box.

Click.

The magic lock clicked open, and Cale removed an outfit from inside the box. Once he finished changing, Choi Han entered through the window, and then his eyes opened wide in shock.

“Cale-nim?”]

"Why did Choi Han look shocked? Did you wear a dress? Maybe a corset?”

Tboah!Bud accidentally blurted out his thoughts. He quickly covered his mouth while Tboah!Glenn facepalmed.

Cale narrowed one of his brow at Tboah!Bud and replied.

"No? Why would I?"

'If he said ‘did you wear a chinese dress?’ I would understand it, but a dress? Wait, do chinese dresses even exist here?'

(a/n: based on your clothes on chap 92, yes, I think.)

Cale is deep in thought that he didn't even notice the chaos happening in the people's mind inside the theatre.

[Before putting on the mask, Cale threw the black outfit in his hand toward Choi Han.

“You wear it too.”

The orb from yesterday should temporarily stop the magic recording devices, but that was not enough. Cale did not want to get caught. That was why he had been drinking since the middle of the day and prepared these outfits.]

"Ah, so that's what the unlucky bastard is doing… A very smart move considering his reputation before."

Eruhaben nodded in understanding.

"What do you mean, Goldie gramps?"

Raon cutely tilted his head to show his curiosity.

"Yes, what do you mean by that Dragon-nim?"

"Aigoo, don't tell me none of you still didn't get it? Are you all even paying attention to the paragraphs?"

Eruhaben shakes his head in disbelief.

"Cale is creating an alibi."

Everyone seems to finally get it. Their faces show astonishment and admiration.

Well, the dragons already noticed it much earlier than the others do but they decided not to say anything.

"Whoa.... He really plans to save the dragon-nim from the very start.... He really is a hero..."

A random bystander whispered in admiration. Unknown to him, everyone heard what he said.

Except for Cale.

Everyone from the LCF side nodded their heads. 

Cale is indeed a hero.

No, not just a hero. He's also a saint, a person everyone can't help but respect, a person who makes the impossible possible, someone who is very kind to every species related to dead mana or creatures who got cast away by the people in this rotten world. He is a person who accepts every being without judging them first.

He is someone everyone can't help but respect, fear, admire, and of course, love.

He is the very person every species related to dead mana could ask for. That's why they can't help but feel sad because he's just too kind and innocent that people might take advantage of him.

(a/n: oh, if only you people knew...)

That's why, from this moment on they would make sure that their young master's innocence won't be taken and wouldn't be taken advantage of.

The fire in their eyes burns bright while thinking of protecting the hero from any dangerous people or situation.

Everyone from the LCF side finally made up their minds, and from now on, the mission of protecting his innocence has been printed on their minds.

(a/n: I think I'm exaggerating on these paragraphs….)

Cale, who knows nothing about what's happening on the minds of the people from LCF side, just kept on munching on the cookie from the cookie jar that surprisingly tastes better than the White Star's cookies.

[“What is this?”

The black outfit had a single red star and five smaller white stars surrounding it on the chest area.

‘What is it? The outfit of the secret organization.’

‘The Birth of a Hero’ novel The god of Past and Future clearly and accurately explained the outfit of the secret organization that Choi Han runs into time after time. This outfit was specially ordered by Cale following the explanation as accurately as possible. Just to be on the safe side, Cale even had the outfit created separately, and personally added the stars.]

"He really did get the will of the gods, How admirable."

"Indeed.... Hey, I suddenly thought of something."

"Oh, for fuck's sake, if this is about those gay erotic novels you're reading, I'm not gonna listen to it. My ears are already closed if it's indeed, about that."

(a/n: I don't know what to put for the gay part because I don't know what word they use for “gay” on this era, so yeah. And I'm too lazy to research it.)

"Why are you so mean? And this is not about those gay erotic novels I'm reading."

"...Sure, whatever you say."

"Anyways. What if we got the young master-nim as our empire's empress? Our empire would be the very first empire that has better rulers on the world's history record if that really happened, don't you think so? And our environment would go in a good path if the emperor and young master-nim would be the rulers of Roan empire."

The random noble lady whispered her question in her friend's ear, because she already knows everyone has heightened senses in this room. Especially Cale's people.

She also knows that most of Cale's people like Cale in a romantic way, that's why she's not gonna risk her life without even seeing her ship get sailed.

"...This is the first time you made me think so hard, despite it being a useless question."

"It's not a stupid question!"

The lady slapped her male friend's biceps, While her friend just rolled his eyes because the slap doesn't even hurt.

"My, Young master Cale can act cute sometimes."

Rosalyn chuckled in an affectionate manner.

(a/n: I suddenly want Rosalyn to be the sister figure of Cale... Should I do it?)

Cale who heard it pretended he didn't hear what Rosalyn said, and continued reading while hiding his embarrassment using his stoic face.

But his ears betrayed him. His ears are red as tomatoes without him knowing.

Everyone from LCF side suppressed the urge to squeal and pinch Cale's cheeks, they can't be hated by Cale because of their sudden action, that's why they have to keep it in.

Some are trying hard not to laugh at Cale's cute tactics.

'Even if Cale-nim doesn't show it he will always be a tsundere. Sigh... He's helpless.'

Kim Namwoon sighed quietly while shaking his head.

Cale, who heard Namwoon's exhausted sigh, quickly looked at him with a concerned look.

(a/n: yes, we stand for mama Cale.😌 And he'll probably be those Asian moms who's strict with their kids because they worry WAYYY too much. ...WaiT-)

"Namwoon, are you okay?"

Cale asked in his usual tone with a hint of worry in his voice. He quickly takes Namwoon's face close to him and inspect it to find some discomfort or injuries on the man's face.

Seeing the red head's action shocked many. 

Except for Raon, Ohn, Hong, Ron, Vicross, Choi Han and the rest of Kimcom's members. 

Let's start with how the kids, the Molans and Choi Han get used to his actions shall we?

Whenever they finished fighting or battling on war with arm's members three years ago, Cale would always rush to them and check their bodies for any injuries, and if he found one, even if it's just a scratch, he would go on rampage and kept scolding them how they can't even take care of themselves.

And he's also saying some things like “What would you guys do if I'm not here anymore?!” “You guys can't even take care of yourselves! Who else would take care of yourselves when I'm gone!? You all are lucky I'm still here.” and many more words that an Asian mom would say and words that'll make them overthink so damn hard. He's even saying those while treating their injuries.

(a/n: based on my experience growing up with an Asian strict mom lmao. I also just translate what mom always says to us when we did even the SLIGHTEST bit of mistake in English. ಥ‿ಥ)

Well Ron is an exception. Cale is much more scared of Ron and Ron is older than him that's why he can't scold Ron for being reckless.

There was a time when Choi Han cut off Cale, saying “Cale-nim you don't take care of your body too, so it's not fair we're the only ones that's getting scolded.” with a frown on his face.

And of course Cale didn't hear what Choi Han said and just scolded Choi Han much longer than before, because of cutting him off.

After that experience Choi Han mentally wrote in his mind that never cut off Cale when he's scolding you or the others if you don't want your ears to get numb.

But Cale sometimes has favourites.

There was one time where the kids were getting scolded and they suddenly cried and said their sorrys and their “we won't ever do it again!” Cale forgave them easily and warned them to not do it again, which the kids promised on.

But when it comes to Vicross and Choi Han... Yup. He won't listen at all and just keeps scolding them until he's done.

Kimcom members(except Dokja) also experienced the same thing as Choi Han and Vicross. Even the supreme king Yoo Joonghyuk, the fearless king across Korea(and probably the whole world) just decided to shut up and let himself get scolded by his lover and child while sitting on the floor with his hands on his thighs.

When you heard Kim Dokja or Cale scream your name, everyone would be readying their eardrums. Always. It actually became quite common when you just suddenly heard a man lecturing another man the same age as he is in the middle of an apocalypse.

The constellations also won't even send some coin donations whenever Kim Dokja or Cale is lecturing someone from their party.

(a/n: lmfao even the constellations are scared at Cale and Dokja. I'm definitely not the one who is to blame. Pffft-.)

And just like what I said earlier, Cale and Dokja have favourites.

The kids would sometimes be spared, and sometimes their scolding time would just last for 9 minutes. 

"I'm alright Cale-nim. I'm just tired. We just happened to be finished fighting monsters and suddenly, we got teleported here without being able to rest."

Hearing Kim Namwoon's response made Cale's eyes twitch. Cale turned to look at Carmine who's avoiding his gaze and has been quiet ever since the start of the reaction.

"...Carmine Arya Albrecht."

Carmine tensed up when she heard her full name. At the speed of light, she quickly sits on the floor with her hands on her thighs. Head low.

She muttered something under her breath.

"...Sorry."

And just like that, Cale dragged her by the ear and took her to one of the rooms and started scolding her.

Everyone looked confused by the sudden action of Cale. They look toward Kim Namwoon and Kim Rok Soo. Before one of them could ask what just happened, Kim Namwoon spoke first.

"...Should we help her?"

"Probably?"

Kim Rok Soo shrugs his shoulders while continuing on eating the peanuts on the coffee table.

...

No one helped her.

'Fucking bastards!'

[That was why it was a bit crude up close, but it was pretty decent from a distance.

People who see this outfit will not remember the crudeness of the stitching, they will just remember that it was, ‘A black outfit with one red star and five white stars.’ For Venion, who has not personally met the secret organization like the Marquis did, the report from the subordinates who saw this outfit will definitely give him a significant headache and anger.]

"I guess Cale really loves pissing off his enemies."

Kim Dokja chuckles. It's quite been awhile since he saw Cale pissing off his enemies. At any given moment, when someone provokes him or either one of the members from Kimcom, instead of planning revenge he would just smack them from behind, but of course, he needed to piss them off first.

After they defeated the Disaster of Floods, Cale and Kim Rok Soo just disappeared like a bubble. They tried searching for them, even the constellations who favoured Rok Soo and Cale tried helping them, but the results were nothing. They didn't find anything.

The constellations tried searching for the constellations that supported them, but, the only result they got is, “This modifier doesn't exist in the Star Stream.” 

It's as if all of them didn't exist in the first place.

When Kim Dokja and the other members of the party, especially Kim Namwoon, found out about the news from the constellations, they were devastated. 

They feel like their world is crashing at that moment. 

And now, they're glad that they will finally know the reason of Cale and Kim Rok Soo's disappearance from this scenario.

"When did he not, ugly ahjussi?"

Kim Namwoon who heard Kim Dokja even though he is far from him snickered.

"Dokja-ssi is not ugly, Kim Namwoon!"

Shouted Cale from across the room. 

How did he hear Kim Namwoon's remark despite not concentrating his heightened senses? Well, let's just say he has very sensitive ears when someone insults Kim Dokja or the kids.

"Exactly!"

Followed by Carmine.

".... Ho-"

"Don't ask."

Kim Rok Soo lets out a tired sigh.

'I really can't understand people who look even more beautiful than Kim Dokja-ssi.'

Kim Rok Soo tiredly shakes his head.

[“...Are we doing something bad?”

Choi Han asked once more after seeing Cale not respond. Seeing Cale with the black mask on as well definitely made him seem like a villain.

“Yes. We are doing something bad.”

Cale started to smile underneath the mask.

“We’re doing something bad to Venion.”]

"What?! It's that bastard Venion that tortured the little dragon?!"

"Gosh…. Can't believe he would go that far to a child… tsk tsk, nobles."

A bystander shakes her head as she drinks her coffee.

"You expect nothing from a noble. Well Roan's is an exception. Probably."

"Stop being funny and sarcastic at the same time you bastard. The situation is serious, can't you see?"

"Anne…. He's blind…"

"...Oh."

"....That's a great way to insult a disabled person."

"..."

"....Yeah, uhh…Right. Sorry."

The woman named Anne looked away.

That was embarrassing.

Everyone pretended not to hear the conversation of the three commoners behind them.

The Stan marquis from the tboah timeline is already sweating bullets. He's really praying (I hope this mf is an atheist so that the sentence would be more funny than intended.) that his part in his son's activity won't get revealed. He knows that the woman already said that secrets won't be safe in this subspace, but a human can hope. (R u even human? The only human I know in your family is mah bb, Taylor.🤡)

While Tboah!Venion is getting pretty scared from all the stares he's getting. His counterpart is already shaking in fear. Fearing that he'll experience the same thing he had experienced when he had met the black dragon, again.

Dragon fear is already engulfing the room. Dragons might be born arrogant, but they hate, no, they despise the thought of one of their mighty race suffering from the hands of a human. Their pride cannot take it.

Everyone is already sweating and gasping for air, but Carmine is currently in another room, making her unavailable to protect them from the deadly aura. She had probably already felt the dragon fear in the theatre, but not her problem. She doesn't care whatever happens to the people she abducted got ordered to take care of.

Kim Dokja has long ago released his status as the Demon King of Salvation, to protect his party from the aura. 

[Even good people will have someone they don’t like and want to screw over. That was no different for this 17 year old, who spent tens of years alone in this world.

“Ah, and these kids are from the Cat Tribe. They are beast people.”]

"That's not— You know what, forget it."

"That's what we always should say to everything the young master does."

Kim Namwoon and Kim Rok Soo, who heard that statement nodded their heads vigorously. It's no use asking whatever Cale does, so it's better to shut up since you won't have answers unless you're with him throughout the whole trip.

[Cale casually introduced On and Hong to Choi Han as if it was nothing, and they just simply exchanged greetings as well. The Cat Tribe children, who were sensitive to a person’s true character, already had a good idea about Choi Han’s strength, and Choi Han had noticed they were not your average cats during their travel.

“He’s Choi Han, this is On, that is Hong. End of introductions. Everybody get ready.”

There was a short time to get ready before Cale ordered Choi Han, who had just come out of the restroom wearing the same black outfit and black mask.

“Let’s go.”

He then added on, as he stood in front of the second story window.

“Carry me when you go out the window. I can’t jump so far down without getting hurt.”]

"....."

"It seems like Cale, even in his original world, is lazy to the fact that he needs to get carried….. sigh… what to do with this lazy kid…"

Kim Dokja shakes his head as he ponders about how the hell did Cale even manage to beat up the monster that attacked Lee Gilyoung with just his bare fist. He quickly dismissed the thought. Maybe it's one of his skills. Yeah. It's probably one of his skills. It's better not to think about it. Kids these days are devils. No words needed to get exchanged.

[Choi Han let out a sigh for the first time in front of Cale. On and Hong approached Choi Han and patted him with their paws to console him. Cale urged them on once again.

“Let’s hurry.”

The group that safely exited the inn headed for the mountain with the Viscount’s Villa and the Dragon’s prison.]

Everyone (well not really everyone.) is already sitting on the edges of their seats.

It's understandable that they're nervous, since they don't know anything about the plan. It wasn't discussed in the paragraphs.

[Continue to the next part?

Y / N ]

Instead of the usual paragraphs they're reading, a question instead pops up.

As they were getting confused at the sudden development, the screen in front quickly flashes red.

∆!!WARNING!!∆

∆!!INTRUDER ALERT!!∆

∆INTRUDER ALERT!!∆

"Huh? What the—"

"An intruder???"
