==========================================

[Start]

Chapter 555

Everyone becomes alert looking at the number.

"Yes, the continuation" tboah!Cale was hoping that it means there is a chance that a miracle will happen. He won't even question it. Just, please.

Everyone was of the same opinion as they focus on reading it.

[]

* * *

Cale couldn't breathe.

'...It's hard to breathe......'

"Cale!"

"Omygosh young master Cale!"

"Is this the last moment?"

"Is this just a flashback?"

Devastation is starting to cover them as they dread that this chapter is just information about what was happening to Cale Henituse before he di...

tcf!Choi Han looks so lost at the thought of losing one of his new family, the person who give him a home to return to.

Anger.

Anger covers his sadness at the enemies that dare to harm his family.

And anger at himself for being unable to protect him from this.

tcf!Choi Han grips his scabbard so tightly that blood drips in his hand.

He swore to not let this happen.

He wanted to breathe, but he could not take a breath properly.

He couldn't open his eyes and his ears felt numb.

He couldn't even smell anything.

"No... please! keep on fighting"

"Don't give up you crazy punk!"

"..Human.."

Meow

Meow

"I'm a self-preserving person. My first priority is always my survival."

tcf!Cale reassures them.

They were not reassured.

'I remember getting caught by the black hand and being dragged somewhere...'

But he couldn't remember anything after that.

For some odd reason, Cale was breathing even though he felt as if he was suffocating.

...!

Their hearts thump erratically seeing that hopeful sentence.

They let out a shaky relief sigh.

At the very least he's breathing.

And breathing means alive.

He's alive.

Alive.

The hold on tcf!Cale slacken but didn't let go as the holder tremble weakly as if crying in relief, but no tears were shed as it stubbornly tries not to flow out.

"That means I was taken somewhere where it can cut off the connection of the vow." tcf!Cale was already moving on to the next issue as if his supposed death was a small matter that can brush aside.

Those who notice the way tcf!Cale talk worriedly glares at him.

Which flew over tcf!Cale's head as he was too focused on the next step.

Nonetheless, with that conclusion, everyone finally was glad knowing Cale Henituse is alive.

But the tension is still there.

Where was he taken to?

As Cale tried his best to move his body in this situation...

'Damn it! What the hell is going on?'

It'd be one thing if he could even squirm, but his body wasn't allowing him to make any movements at all.

– Child who has escaped the hand of god and his fate.

It's that voice again.

They were sure that was the thing that was responsible for Cale's sudden disappearance.

"I'll exterminate that titan ghost one way or another" og!Cale wanted to do it so badly but he knows he wouldn't be there to help.

Is he just here to feel helpless and to realize how useless he was?

He grip his hand feeling frustrated with himself.

[]

His mouth then opened.

"Who are you?"

"That right! Who the @$:#&"\*- are you!"

tboah!Cale was enraged at that embodiment voice as he whisper-anger strings of colorful curses.

He still has some sense to not let 'those' curses be heard by innocent children. Hmph.

But tcf!Cale who was very near him has twinkling eyes at the creative curse word he is learning.

He was so going to use those.

– Me?

He heard a low laugh.

– Just as the Divine race worships the gods, there are beings the Demonic race worships as well. I am a being the Demonic race worships.

'A being the Demonic race worships?'

"Obviously something that's not good" tboah!Witira doesn't like the confirmation that evil race is involved in all of these. Fighting that race is not going to be easy, she needs to prepare for the future.

"An evil being worship by an evil race" tcf!Paseton was sweating at the prospect of fighting that evil race but he have the determination to protect those important to him including the young master Cale.

"They're making a cult" tcf!Toonka the loving idiot he was actually said a sound conclusion.

"And of course, all cults are evil" tboah!Toonka the other lovable idiot said in a sure no-nonsense voice as if speaking facts.

Sigh " how did I become involved in all of these?" tcf!Cale was once again questioning his life decision.

[]

'What?'

Cale took a deep breath.

The voice continued to speak.

– I am solitude. I am despair.

"It sounds like a Chūnibyō" og!Cale shares his observation as he scrunches his face in distaste.

"What's that?" tboah!Cale asks his counterpart for another new word that he heard.

So og!Cale explains. "Team members said it's those people who desperately want to stand out, and have grandiose delusions of being something mighty."

"Got it. We will now address that black hand as Chunibyo" tboah!Cale declares.

Everyone agrees.

It's not because they're petty. No.

A being that was wickedness, solitude, and despair.

[]

The eerie voice whispered to him at that moment.

– I will make you want me.

"That's freaking creepy" tboah!Cale shudders in disgust at that insinuation.

Everyone can agree with that statement.

"It's like a bad pick-up line" tcf!Bud scrunch his face at that black thing that seems to want to woo Cale Henituse.

"Stay away from my son, you leecher!"

tcf!Deruth who couldn't take it anymore shouted in rage at the audacity of what that thing wanting from his son.

'What?'

– Call me when you need me. Only I can destroy your despair for you.

"Stop giving false advertisement!" og!Cale was now convinced that the black thing isn't a titan ghost because titans are scary and creepy but not THAT creepy. He scoffs at that black thing.

Cale then felt as if his body was being sucked away.

The blood-colored eyes started to become distant.

'Where am I going?'

Cale started to frown.

'Ugh!'

He then clenched his eyes shut after feeling terrible pain.

tcf!Cale scrunches his face. Why is he suffering there? He should be living his slacker life not being in the vicinity of that red eye thing and being in pain! Tsk.

His senses became paralyzed again.

All connections he had with the world started to break once again.

"Does that mean he was being sent to some other world different from ours?" Tcf!Sheritt thought.

Other worlds...

When it mentions another world, Sheritt is reminded of the world where those Koreans live.

Cale desperately moved in order to try to breathe.

"Huuuuuuu!"

And once he could breathe again...

The tension in the room that was still there finally ease.

They were now sure that Cale Henituse truly is alive and well.. ok not really well but at least alive.

"Ugh!"

Cale felt a terrible pain at his stomach.

His body flew up into the air before falling down to the ground.

Boom!

Everyone tensed up again at that sound.

That wasn't a good sound.

"Ugh, ugh!"

Cale's body rolled backward on the ground.

'What is going on?'

"Exactly! What's happening!?"

"Why is he in pain?"

"What did that Chunibyo do to the young master!?"

They become wary of what was happening to tcf!Cale.

Someone had hit his stomach as soon as he returned to his senses, making him fly up before rolling on the ground.

"Ugh!"

"What!?"

They shouted in outrage.

"Who dares" a very chilly voice that can slice the air ask all while sharpening his dagger.

tcf!Cale shudders at the scary old man.

"Human let me blast them away!"

"I'll poison them!"

"And I'll cover our tracks"

"What vicious children" tcf!Cale is asking himself who did they learn that from? Must be Ron.. Or Beacrox... or maybe Choi Han. Either way, they are all vicious influencers.

Of course, he was not even considering that they learn it from him.

Cale reached his hand out and grabbed the ground.

His eyes focused again and he realized something was odd.

'Cement?'

It was cracked and partially destroyed, but he could see the cement floor.

This material was something that did not go with Cale Henituse's world.

"So my theory might be right" tcf!Sherrit continue her thought about her speculation.

"Well, I hope it's temporarily sent to the Koreans world, not sent back to his world" She knows it was mean to wish for that, but she doesn't want her son to be sad at being separated from Cale Henituse. If she choose the world over her son, she would always pick her son.

"Hey! You bastard, can't you even stand up straight? Where did that arrogant attitude of yours from just now go? Hmm?"

"Kekeke! Hey, hey, control yourself. You kicked him so hard that he can't even get up."

"Why those little b-!" tboah!Cale was about to unleash his fury of words but paused.

"Wait." He realizes something. "The way they speak sounds like the same as the one with the Koreans back then."

They were able to understand the Koreans even though they know that they were speaking a different language.

And what they hear now is the same as what they experienced with those Koreans.

Then they most certainly speak the Korean language.

They were speaking in Korean.

So tboah!Cale is right.

"Does that mean he was sent back to his world?" tcf!Lock ask what everyone else was worrying about.

Everyone doesn't know how to feel about that.

The tcf side needs him more than ever even with all the information they had.

And not only that, most of them already consider Cale Henituse as someone important and some like a family. So of course they don't want him to leave.

"Uggh........!"

Cale tried his best to hold back his groan as he flipped his body over.

They scowl remembering how tcf!Cale was being beaten up.

"I'll beat those little shi-" og!Cale curse. He swore he would find them. And oh the trouble that will come for them will be immense.

Realizing he could do just that he paused.

"So I do have some use after all even if it's just a little" smirk.

He could see a grey ceiling.

'...When was it that my body was this weak?'

og!Cale gasps sooo offendedly as he looks at the audacity of this being.

"You made my previous body weak!" He pointed out his complaint.

Which tcf!Cale can't really deny so he awkwardly looks away.

"It's not like I need to be strong anyway, living a slacker life doesn't need training" tcf!Cale thought.

"Right! I keep asking myself why did you do so!?" tboah!Cale chimes in as he keeps looking tcf!Cale's body and og!Cale's body.

"What do you mean?" tcf!Cale ask because he was sure there is something along those lines that tboah!Cale wants to point out.

"I mean why didn't you make that body as hot as your previous ones!" tboah!Cale blurted out. He was sooo jealous of that chest.

"That's right! I mean look at this!" og!Cale was waving his arms up and down his body as if to emphasize its greatness.

Which it is.

"I mean just look at this chest."

"At least teach me how" tboah!Cale whined, "I want to be bulky!" He did train his own body but he couldn't achieve that absolutely gorgeous muscles and chest like Kim Rok Soo. And he so badly wanted to.

"Nooooooooo"

Most of the people who heard that, despair.

They can't imagine a bulky Cale Henituse.

While others were just highly amused.

He had no strength in his body.

He could see his thin wrists.

"Omagosh! I wasn't that thin!" og!Cale was now worried if this idiot beside him was even eating properly.

"Did you make that body like your past teenage self!?" tboah!Cale was also frustrated. He doesn't like how thin the teenage Kim Rok Soo who looks like he was starved! Tsk.

Wait.

Past teenage self.

The Cales mind is constructing a theory.

Cale then saw people step between him and the grey ceiling.

[]

"Ha!"

Cale remembered them.

He remembered their faces... He remembered this situation.

It was a time when it wouldn't be weird for him to be beaten up.

"What!?"

Indignant cries filled the room.

"Wouldn't be weird!?"

"How!?"

The indignant cries turn into sorrow.

It's sad how he normalized being beaten.

Is that how his pain tolerance got screwed?

This solidified their will of not letting Cale Henituse return to his previous world.

"...It's those bastards."

'It's one of those bastards who hit me at that time.'

"Name them" og!Cale said with a ( hot ) dangerous smile .

The system better reveals their name.

For now, he'll wait.

Cale started to laugh.

"He... hehe."

"What the hell? Did this bastard go crazy after getting hit once?"

"I can't believe that I have to agree with those disposable humans, why are you laughing? Do you think this is funny?"

tcf!Cale flinches at the eerie gaze that the ancient dragon is giving him. It almost seems like his concern?

And is it him or are the others giving him concerned gazes as well? Nah, couldn't be, it must be vicious gazes.

"I mean why would they even be concerned about a trash?"

With that thought in mind, he hide away from those he labeled as vicious gaze.

This was less than 1 year since the world was flipped over.

The winter of the cataclysm had passed, spring and summer had come by, and then it was fall.

It was that first fall.

It was late fall when the unranked monster appeared in Seoul and filled the world with fear.

It turned the world into chaos and the largest number of people died at that time.

"How dare a young bastard like you glare at me like that?"

This was the fall when the pretty useless Kim Rok Soo was the most useless in his life.

"You self-degrading idiot!"

"Haaa. So that's what increases your low self-esteem"

"After all the things we learn about how great you are, I sure hope you're not still thinking that you are useless."

"Of course, I'm not just useless" tcf!Cale easily agrees.

Which makes it suspicious.

"Because I'm a useless trash" tcf!Cale proudly thought.

"Ack" tcf!Cale rubs his head as he glares at these idiots who smack him.

"I feel like you deserve to be smack"

tboah!Cale and og!Cale shows no regret.

Cale had opened his eyes as Kim Rok Soo at the end of that fall.

"So our theory was right, you return to your teenage self" tboah!Cale

"But is this an illusion?"

"Or time travel?"

"Or possession from another version of his previous world?"

Everyone is now discussing the possibilities.

The blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth told him that this situation was real.

"We can scratch the illusion then." tcf!Tasha said as she frown at the blood that was flowing out of the young master.

"Then a parallel world is more likely" tcf!Mary would have never thought that she would learn a lot of new things such as different version of the world with young master Cale's journey. She was once again grateful to the young master and it's one of the reasons why she doesn't like how he was suffering.

"...Damn it."

'Whether you are wickedness, despair, or solitude... That black hand bastard...'

Cale's eyes were full of fire.

They smile.

Cale Henituse is very much alive.

"How annoying."

[]

The place the unranked monster first appeared...

Many people died at that location.

"Ah, that place" tcf!Cale was glad that this was showing because the Kim Rok Soo in the other room will be able to know what happens and not be useless as he was there.

Death and fear that could not be compared to what they faced since the cataclysm had swept the area where that unranked monster had appeared.

That was why the world started to gather together again.

In fact, that terrible incident let the world create societies again and stand back up.

"It kinda sucks how we could only be united if the world is in danger." og!Cale recalls how the crown prince gathers and unites the different kingdoms to fight back.

"Well at least they choose to unite," he thought of those people who still think about their own benefits even in the midst of catastrophe.

He should really get rid of them.

A few of the people who made it back alive from that incident location ended up becoming the central figures of the Korean society.

"...Team leader."

Team leader Lee Soo Hyuk was one of the people who had experienced that incident.

"Ah, I really want to have a deep conversation with him" tcf!Alberu slightly admires this man who is a great leader and a great hyung.

... but of course, if he was Cale Henituse hyung then he's of course the best one.

... being his hyung.. the benefits of it. Smirk.

tcf!Cale shivers and looks at his side. He made eye contact with tcf!Alberu.

He feels iffy at that stare. He wants to ignore it but he feels like he needed to address this now or it will become more complicated.

"Your Highness the shining-"

"You could just call me hyung-nim" tcf!Alberu interrupted as he give his brightest picturesque smile.

"..."

Everyone pause.

"What crazy thing is he saying?" tcf!Cale look impassive but was flustered inside.

And so glib tongue part2 activated.

"I believe I'm just a lowly noble that doesn't have the right to address the sun of our kingdom with such a prestigious title"

"Nonsense were going to be partners as sworn brothers who will help each other through thick and thin for the safety and prosper of our Kingdom."

"What safety and prosper? I want to live a slacker life away from politics and troublesome tasks!"

"And of course, after we finish everything I will surely give you your slacker life"

"Hyung-nim you really speak such wise words that truly befit being the sun that illuminates our Kingdom!"

Everyone sweatdrops at the 180° change and that glittering face of the one Cale Henituse.

tcf!Alberu Crossman was satisfied.

Little did he know he was welcoming his reason to wake up every morning with joy and a massive headache.

'Hey, do you know where I saw our team leader in the past? I'm someone who survived that incident as well. You remember that terrible incident? I survived that incident. I also saw our team leader fight.'

Choi Jung Soo had been there as well.

The two of them managed to survive that situation, but many lives were taken by that unranked monster.

"Goes to show that those two are amazing"

"They must be an awesome hyungs"

og!Cale and tboah!Cale complimented.

tcf!Cale hid his proud smile.

"But no one can beat my Eric hyung" they proudly said.

tcf!Cale frown. He then remember Eric Wheelsman who was the original Cale Henituse Hyung.

"Well he is the only one who still sends letters and acted like a hyung even when Kim Rok Soo acted trash so, understandably, they will think that... even though it's clearly obvious that my (hyungs) idiots are the best"

He wasn't being biased obviously.. just stating facts.

"Ah but that's because you haven't experienced being my dongsaeng yet"

And that was tboah!Alberu who was talking.

And he is not looking at the transmigrator.

"Heck no!"

tboah!Cale and og!Cale immediately look away bluntly pretending that they had not heard anything.

tboah!Alberu smiles twitch. "The audacity of these ba-haaa.. patient.. there's still time" Smirk.

He was determined to make tboah!Cale be by his side because he was sure he can be a big help.

And also to keep an eye on him.

"He's being too welcoming at the prospect of a body switch. While it's more helpful to me if that happened, it still doesn't sit well with me that the idiot might want to stab himself just for a chance to get the deal"

tboah!Alberu frowned as he keep observing his side Cale Henituse. Even if it's more beneficial to him for the switch to happen but is not 100% guaranteed that it will work now, he also won't wait for their world to be destroyed so that that death would offer a deal that would be less counterproductive. And he won't gamble his citizen life for just a mere chance especially if he's useful.

"Also with all this information, we can make do even if we don't have the transmigrator, though it will be more difficult but it's doable."

There's a whisper 'pyah'

"What does the slime mean 'just say you're worried'?"

He ignores it.

As he had observed tboah!Cale, tboah!Alberu decided that the moment he return he will ban Cale Henituse to enter the temple of death.

tboah!Cale sneeze.

"Why does it feel like one of my plans is being foiled?"

Choi Jung Soo had spoken with a teary expression in the past.

'I really thought that I was in hell when I saw that.'

The fire in Cale's eyes started to burn even brighter.

"Human, Are you excited?"

"Yes, because it means that I can change the outcome that will happen." tcf!Cale's eyes shine as he said those words.

But some frown. That means tcf!Cale plans to go there even if he already knows the dangers.

What should they do to keep the self-sacrificing idiot safe?

Sigh.
