OG ChoiCale During Their 5th Divorce

When you think about it krs hasn't left the battlefield in almost 18 years (15 years for the cataclysm and 2+ years as cale henituse)

Sure the breaks he's taking in tcf are great and all but the looming threat of an upcoming battle has not left this mans psyche in almost 2 decades

The time he spent as team leader and cale henituse combined

And in p2 he's still running around fighting 😭 oml

His perseverance is amazing

Get this guy into retirement ASAAAPPPPP

reading some cale quotes for fic purposes and i can't believe how much you can forget when you blitz through 1000+ chapters in less than two months.

like, cale curses so much. so much. i guess i didn't really internalize it since it was spread out over the whole novel, but he has such a dirty mouth and literally every time he mentions his enemies, he's cursing up a storm.

"i don't care if he's lived a thousand years or not, that shithead is a fucking bastard from now on." cale henituse, on the greatest threat of the whole part one of the novel. he's so eloquent.

i forgot how snarky his internal voice is. actually, maybe not forgot. just, kind of got used to it? until i stopped registering the absolutely sick burns he keeps dishing out on the regular.

it takes him until chapter 270 to realize that he should have just let choi han beat him up. that seems like a lot, but we've still barely reached the eastern continent. adin is still alive. cale doesn't even know who the white star is. the trouble hasn't even started.

also, at one point he actually admits to being raon, on and hong's parent??? out loud??? i can't believe i missed that, the whole dodori thing distracted me.

"raon. I’m someone who cannot forget. don't be like me." i didn't actually forget this one, but it feels like a gut punch every time i read it again.

Just a reminder that every day is "Kim Rok Soo stay alive, being alive is the best." Day.

devil venerable also wants to know is basically a story of a group of ace/arospec people trying to explain romantic/sexual attraction to each other and getting more and more confused

There is no way God of Death didn't get beaten up even once by Choi Jung Soo or Lee Soo Hyuk, especially after he pulled the "Your friends' death was your fault".

So, I just imagine Choi Jung Gun either joining them or giving the broom to them like:

the contrast between tang bo dying in the arms of his best friend vs chung myung dying cold and alone

Alberu when Cale told him yet another batshit insane plan but it beneficial for the kingdom:
