The most beautiful man I ever laid eyes on

Kim Rok Soo (김록수)❄

Process:

I wasn't confident at all about painting this. The sketch seemed good enough, and I didn't want to ruin it. 💃

I don't think it turned out that bad, but I still think the sketch is my favorite.😭😤

If I had a nickel for everytime Cale erased an island off the map, I'd have two nickels... Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

He was not normal about anything but my brain rotted on Isekai couldn't see it

Thinking about Kim Roksoo who easily accepted that he now lives in a world where monsters exist and beastmen exist and magic and stuff exists. Because he came from a world that was infested by monsters and people awakened abilities. He wasn't much fazed by it because it was basically the same just the medium to deal with them changed. It should have been the first hint for us that he did not come from the normal Korea.

The way I gasped has no name

What if Team Leader Lee Soo Hyuk also had a 0% mortality rate. And that's why, when Kim Roksoo saw his teammates continue to survive despite the dangers, and continue to persistently try get him to open up to them. He thought that maybe these people will not leave. They won't die, and they won't turn away from him. So he thought it was okay to open up, it's ok to allow himself to cherish these people.

And the moment he made up his mind about it, the whole team was wiped out.

Kim Rok Soo: *stares at his new scar*

Teammates: Sir, you didn't have to do that by yourself.

Kim Rok Soo: I had to. I'm not gonna lose any more people. Even if there's a chance that I can't save you all, I have to keep trying. You people are gonna take over once I retire and become a slacker. Now, eat. We have more work to do. (poker face. Emotionally constipated.)

Teammates: 🥺 Sir, we will fight for you to the end of the world! 😭😭😭

He is killing monsters and still holding the belief that's way better than the ajumma complaining at the end of his 16 shift.

Something healed inside me after seeing this

I am feeling so guilty about keeping drawing Cale in stead of actual work.

Cale: I'm a bad person, but not because of that.

Cale to every enemy he faces: Stop calling me a bad person just because I'm orchestrating your downfall.

Cale's grunts translation (By children of average nine years old)

"Hum": normally made in a crime scene when he sees something that's not in the right place.

"Hm": general recognization of your existence, maybe a "good morning", "good afternoon" or "good evening"

A low "mnh": someone messed out and this benefits me.

A slightly louder "mnh": i messed out and this definitly does not benefits me.

*snort*: you're funny or the next victim with nowhere in between

*a laugh without a frowing*: an actual genuine laugh?????????

*a louder laugh with frowing*: dragons! Dragons everywhere!

A very low "Hehe...": money

A sharp inhale through the nose: I'm hurted but i don't want anyone to know.

A soft exhale through nose: why did i become a commander again.

Inspired in this work of art

I would let him ruin my life.

Took me forever to finish this because this vain little young master won’t leave me alone until I made sure everything on his person looked absolutely dashing and gorgeous.

Ref for pose and composition: X: @tnadmszo01

Give him to me because why is this man so hot? I'll give him cookies and incondicional love????

Idk what this is im sorry gilbert… i made all your friends gay and dipped

*sometime after the Jopis and her dogs incident*

Original meme by sweepswoop_

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.

Is the fact that when he did get close to someone, they died, so he never understood what came next in friendship or any other kind of relationship.

What do you do with the people that you love? He doesn't know, because he never had the time. He never learned how to share. With who? The dead? The graves? The rests of his loved ones? God?

You know most of the time people get angry at Cale because he can't for the life of him communicate things as they are, specifically regarding his health and seems to be unable to register his family worries for him.

And to that I said, of fucking course, his whole life on earth was horrible and he didn't develop emotionally because let's do a quick recap:

His parents died.

His abusive uncle took him in

He ended up in an orphanage.

When he was twenty the world collapsed.

He was bullied because he didn't have abilities.

Then the shelter he was in was destroyed

Once again he was alone until he met with LSH and CJS and let's not forget he was already 20 something.

Not long after they died as well.

Then he closed off with everyone because he didn't want to get attached just to lose them again.

He woke up in a novel

GoD confirmed he was supposed to die not CJS nor LSH.

He had to face his past again due to SG test.

...Well you get my point by now he was a little too busy surviving for him to actually develop self worth, most of his life he learned he wasn't someone who deserves affection or care and unfortunately no one said otherwise and if they did they die leaving him worse than before.

So it is no wonder he keeps things to himself all the time, after all why would others worry about him it makes no sense? At least from his pov.

That's why he is so detached at the beginning, still he can't help but try fixing things because it is the only action he knows

Surviving and saving others is so deeply engrained in him that unknowingly he keeps getting in a bigger mess. He got attached against his best efforts and gives more than he can take because he is not used to getting, the people who ever gave him anything always ended up dying before he could understand being emotional or plainly having emotions is normal.

The way I literally gasped when I saw this

There's a reason people mistake him for a dragon.

He's the meme that says "the fact that I'm smart doesn't mean I'm not stupid" and I love him

He notices the minimum details but is the most obnoxious person on the planet.

Cale Henituse is the funniest bastard to have as an MC, he's a unreliable narrator and everyone sees it. He wants to slack off and says world peace needed first before that.

Hates cats yet adopts two and plans to make a third king, scams people constantly, the most skewed perception of how to be a trashy man. Says he isn't a good person, does things that help people constantly, justifies it saying cause he didn't have pure motives for doing it it's not a good deed so he's still a bad person. Adopts a dragon even though he said he didn't want it near him cause he'd be in the middle of crazy situations, said by the guy who puts himself in situations constantly all the time. "I don't care about this old man assassin and want him to leave as soon as possible' several chapters later when said assassin comes back hurt and dying "What the fuck i'm going to blow up an island the bastards behind this are on" Yeah he blows up an island, says 'well the ships can just sail a bit further so it can go no biggie.' Said explosion is several times bigger then it should be, cause of his chronic inability to communicate with anyone ever. Stop saying shit exclusively in your head dumbass! He coughs up blood constantly from rebound his powers cause, fails to understand why anyone is upset by this sight when he's 'fine'. Has a healing power, fails to disclose that too to anyone. "I'm weak." Says this fucking idiot, while blasting his charisma aura that makes you feel like your going to die at people who have no idea it's a buff and take it seriously. While using a giant fuck off shield to block bombs. While blasting people with a thunderbolt that can blow up a forest. He's so stupid /aff I want to bite him like a chew toy and shake some sense but we all know he'll never get any.

Hot girl shit (grown ass man)

Just another day of geeking over TCF, remembering that the generic prince charming who we got introduced to at the beginning of the story got to shoot the main villain in the face with a gun, wore PJs to the final battle because he forgot to put on armor, and became a gaming addict to the equivalent of an MMORPG/Empire Minecraft server

And just like that Cale won another mother and a super adorable little brother.

I like to think if there was no white star and jour hadnt died, violan wouldve still come to live w them and they would have been a power throuple

Pretty sure he said that word by word at some point

Dw guys you can both get what you want for the very low price of ! Losing everything

Cale Henituse [LCF] + wolf pupy tweets (insp)

The only inappropriate thing was him not dressing like that sooner

An intrusive thought made me write down this so:

In the extras after the first part of the novel we saw OgCale in KRS's body being like "if you don't like me fire me" and also there's a famous post of OgCale being over the top in the fashion department.

So it occurred to me, what if OgCale in KRS's body just goes around with comfortable over the top modern fashion and for his coworkers is so sudden, the guy who barely showed his face now is waking around with cargo pants and a black crop top showing his delightful worked body but most importantly with his multiple scars full on display and many coworkers thinks he finally snap and is protesting, letting everyone know who was it that fought most battles and survived with all his team no thanks to the burocrats.

Basically his new clothes are taken like a sort of "try me" statement while barely being work "appropriate".

Boyfriends, husbands, besto frendos, pals, idk. They are so special to me. I need more of them, like a side story about how Bud became Mercenary King or something

Hi, I present you Bud Illis AND Glenn Poeff fanarts, pretty neat huh

I think Bud and Glenn would have fought side by side quite often and I wanna learn dynamic poses, hope you like it ~⁠ ⁠(⁠°⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠°⁠ ⁠~⁠)

The one on the ground is supposed to be a teleportation magic circle and the one in the air shield magic

They just look the same cuz laziness

..........................................................................................

Here's some pretty cool reference pictures in case you'll need it (the rest was just kinda freestyled)

I struggled drawing this pose so much and as you can see it's still off but maybe someone succeeds, who knows ٩(ˊvˋ*)و

Because he is.

I love how everybody who knows Cale Henituse either considers him wonderful, terrifying, unhinged, or all of them at once

My eyes have been blessed, thank you

Late for a trend again…

So cute

Cale Henituse has me on chokehold since 2020 and I'm not exactly complaining

sometimes a piece of media just! grabs you by the thoat and says, "hey buddy! I'm gonna irrevocably alter your brain chemistry now! have fun with that!!"

and then you just ! gotta deal with that ! you guess !!
