Me thinking about how Kim Roksoo couldn’t keep any friends throughout his school year because of the curse from the GoD. Always leaving him no matter how hard he tried to keep them.
Also thinking about how Lee Soohyuk and Choi Jungsoo also probably introduced him to basic things friends do for each other.
KRS staying in the office finishing up paper work - or whatever he did in the office while under LSH - instead of going to lunch with his teammates. CHS waiting for him to finish up even if it take him 30mins before he’s ready. Then going to lunch with him late.
Or showing up to a company dinner with all the seats full at the restaurant. Him thinking about turning around and going home only to find out LSH especially made sure a seat was saved for him even if that caused conflict elsewhere.
I can imagine him feeling all ‘warm and fuzzy’ inside. Being confused with why they were doing these things for him. (Despite ‘those things’ being basic things all people would do with their friends)
The GoD’s curse is so unimaginably cruel even diluted. It also puts into perspective how tough it must have been for KRS after LSH and CJS died. Thinking about the Soo dynamic from when they were together on EARTH 1 always makes me sad.
That's why my man is out there saying shit like "I Don't really care about these people" and then fixing (destroying) every problem they ever encounter
Plausible deniability, if he didn't say he cared about them or even admitted it to himself, they wouldn't die (?
thinking about how everyone who ever cared about kim rok soo would disappear from his life
and how he started to keep a distance from the people who cared about him
perhaps, in the attempt, that they might stay
and the people who managed to crack open his shell
died in front of him
Reasons Cale Henituse is the funniest motherfucker:
*People cheering for him in the streets* Hm. Don’t like that.
His self-proclaimed speciality is just disassociating on command
Someone: *helps him* Cale: *sighs* I guess I have to solve every problem you’ve ever had
When learning a language, memorised all the swear words before anything else
“I don’t like cats,” says Cale, holding two kittens tenderly, plotting a rebellion to instate a third cat as the new emperor
Single father of *checks notes* uh… 3 to 14 children,
All he wants is to retire to the country; can’t stop getting into international incidents
His relationship with the crown prince is basically: *points at each other* Bastard
Keeps telling people not to trust him while saving their asses from certain destruction
This loser thinks he’s ‘quiet’ and ‘good at keeping still’
Cale: *smiles gently* Everyone: oh god stop What the Fuck
‘Accidental Baby Acquisition’ trope but it’s ‘Accidental Family Acquisition’ and they’re all agents of chaos
“I heard you got hurt,” says a concerned child. “Yes, I coughed up blood.” Cale comforts, comfortingly.
[Girl hits on him] No thanks [Guy hits on him] No thanks
Everyone: you’re a good person Cale: incomprehensible, have a terrible day
Named his adopted son, a dragon, ‘Dragon’
Tells people to drink tea before pulling out something that will make them spray it everywhere like a cartoon
*to a 13 year old* No you can’t train to become a knight you’re too young *to a 5 year old* Alright tonight we’re gonna blow up an island and participate in the slaughter of half a race make sure to protect me well
His entire fucking backstory, like what? What???
Raon: I’ve only had this human for an hour and a half but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone on this continent and then myself Cale: That’s terrifying please stop talking
Never thinks, at any point, to tell anyone that he has a healing power
He’s THE most extra bitch. Orchestrates his b&e’s like he’s conducting an opera, always plans for maximum Dramatic Effect
*The crown prince doesn’t help in a terror incident* That’s fine because he’s weak. *Finds out he’s strong actually* Bastard??????
Gives his kids an extravagant allowance. Doesn’t let them spend it and buys everything for them instead
‘I should have just got beaten up’, Cale thinks, war waging around him. ‘That would be far less annoying.’
Alberu, looking at the people Cale gathered: I didn't know we had so many strong allies.
Cale: Wait till you see the dragons
Alberu: What?
Cale: What
Cale on his king maker side quests is so funny.
"you are the emperor now" Cale said, after obliterating A*in.
Everytime I think about Sir Rex's situation I lose it. Just try putting yourself in his shoes.
You're about to get revenge from the vile monsters responsible for your friend and family suffering. Putting your life on the line, you attempted to murder the Vice Tower master after years of spying and infiltrating the knight order but failed miserably.
As you're caught in a dead end, this stranger who isn't even from your continent, a representative of a foreign allied country who received a medal of honor from the crown prince of your empire -you had one conversation with- recognize you in your cat form-that you kept hidden-, saved and healed you.
He easily guesses your whole plan and acknowledge your franckly terribly sad and traumatizing backstory. He somehow is aware of the alchemy tower wrongdoings and much more and is going to help you. He has spies and allies working for him in the country he supposedly only visited twice.
When you're finally healed he looks you dead in the eye and says you're gonna be emperor... after exposing his plans of overthrowing the power in place, destroying the alchemy tower, making the sun churches saint and saintess-supposed dead by the way-forge a new church. He gives you books on how to be a ruler and manage an empire.
And all you have to do while THINGS are happening is read books in that room and make an appearance at the very end.
Why is he doing all this? He says he want a partnership for his kingdom which will also benefit you in the future.
And while you're still tripping and reviewing your life's purpose you meet his two cats- actually children from the same tribe as you -which you weren't really aware of- who explains to you what being a fog cat is and the litteral basics of living while calling you a fucking weakling and their lil bro/servant.
SO ACCURATE IM CRYING

That's why he selfishly saved them yk yk
Cale says he is a bad person, a selfish, stone cold bastard because he spent at least 10 years believing the words he heard on his team funeral and after it.
And he had nobody to say the opposite, nobody who knew him, who cared about him. To prove them wrong, to insist that they are the actual bastards without heart for saying that to a mourning person.
He was alone, terrified of getting close to people again, and thinking that the deaths of his family was all his fault. Of course he thinks he is a bad person.
For him, people that don't protect their family are trash, so he is the worst human being that ever put a foot on the planet.
Cale: I don't like these people *sacrifice himself for them* I don't care about this kingdom *saves it* I hate this drink *drinks it because his butler gave it to him* I'm a bad person *would die for people he didn't know*
Cale: I want a slacker life.
Cale: But to have a peaceful life, my family needs to have a peaceful life as well, and we need to live in a peaceful world too to not be bothered by anyone.
Cale: So let’s achieve world peace.
Cale: Then let’s do multiverse world peace because other worlds could also bother us and for an unknown reason I HAVE to be the one who does it instead of sending my subordinates and lazing around.
Cale: And while striving for world peace, something that nobody has been able to achieve so far, I’ll complain that I don’t want to work and say I’m weak.
Cale: Ah, I’m weak. *killing the strongest villain who tried to become god*
Cale: I want a slacker life. *trying to achieve world peace and working more than anyone else*
Cale: Sigh…
Reader: Sigh…
KRS!Cale(probably): I totally did save those people for my evil trash-like plans and nothing more. Their life means nothing but a brick for me to accomplish my selfish schemes.
Krs!Cale (probably): I adopted three children, saved and inspired others and the world at the expense of my own health several times to the point where I tried to sacrifice myself and I'm in the process of saving the multiverse....selfishly.
I love them, we love a supportive father and his children
I love how this one panel unironically shows their entire dynamic throughout the series
Just a proud dad and his overpowered Dragon toddler
💖
Every enemy's POV ever when they fuck with Cale's slacker plan
week’s dump
KRS and Cale just assume every teenager acts like their brother because that's the only exposure to 18 year olds in their life.
KRS: life is meaningless, so we should enjoy every second by saving money and taking naps (too old to party, he wants to retire already)
Cale: understandable, I have a nice day (He outgrew his partying and getting black out drunk)
___
Cale: life is too short to argue with your family, you need to spend every second showing them affection and how much you care about them (he didn't get to live with his family after his rebellious phase)
KRS: yeah (existing in the same room as his family every day even if they don't interact, because that's how family works????)
I like the idea of a twins au solely for one reason.
People looking at KRS (36 inside) (18 outside) and being like "is this kid really 18?"
Then looking at (og) Cale henituse (40 inside) (18 outside) and being like "ARE KIDS JUST LIKE THIS THESE DAYS???”
Then looking at literally any other young adult and being like "oh...is it a henituse thing?"
Before I even start reading and reviewing the book... I have to adress something:
Whoever did the description on the back did an amazing job.
I really love how it's worded, the way it's introducing the premise of the story; yes it's magic isekai fantasy with action and heroism, but most of all irony. This story is, in large part, a comedy built upon pure irony. And those words?
"sometimes the best heroes are the ones who resist the call"
It's the PERFECT way to describe Cale.
Really, I couldn't have done it any better. Good job! 👍
Day 4: growth
5 down, 2 more to go.
I’m tired, but we’re almost there…
He loves his children so much I'm sick
Cale’s such a good dad, I mean, when the guy who famously says he never wants to take on any responsibilities ever admits he would do so to protect the children? Aughhh
It's a work on progress. I'm really tired, maybe I finish it later
This is amazing, a masterpiece, one of the greatest pieces of art my eyes ever encountered, the light of my day, the stars in my eyes. I have been blessed, thank you, I can live happily ever after.
OHRweek Day 7: Free
The perfect cue for me to draw my favorite father and children in my favorite season’s colors.
I’ve made up my mind to fill in the rest of the challenge, wish me luck, guyssss!
I drew it!
Cale: What did the woman with no hands get for Christmas?
Alberu *sacred to ask*: ...what?
Cale: No idea. She hasn’t opened her present yet.
Choi Han: pff-
Kim Rok-Soo is one problem away from killing a bitch.
It may or may not be because one specific guild (that he sent his subordinates to work with) almost killed half of his attack team. 'Due to an unexpected situation', they said. Bullshit.
So he resolved that the next step is to get rid of one of said problems.
When he came out of his office, everyone walked away quickly. Kim Roksoo couldn't care even less why.
"Kim Min-Ah, I'm going to leave for a while; you are in charge of the next mission. The draft plan is in my office," Kim Rok-Soo said calmly.
(If the next day he had the paper work of that specific guild on his desk and he was looking for someone to put in charge of it, nobody said a word.)
Cale: What did the woman with no hands get for Christmas?
Alberu *sacred to ask*: ...what?
Cale: No idea. She hasn’t opened her present yet.
Choi Han: pff-
Raon, talking with Litana: there's a game called Poker that my human, Goldie Gramps and Lemonade Gramps play together, do you play it?
Litana: no, we don't play poker here
Raon: why????
Cale, interrupting the conversation: too many cheetahs
Litana, amused: actually-
Alberu: can you do a march in February? For the moral of the kingdom
Cale, zoning out: ???
Alberu, used to it: Can. February. March.?
Cale, without hesitation: no, but April May.
*Alberu, thinking about the pros and cons of throwing his brother through the window*
*Raon in his phase of "Why questions"*: Human, why oysters are so disgusting?
Cale: because they are bad, they don't even donate to charity, do you want to know why?
Raon, listening seriously: why???
Cale: Because they're shellfish
This was how I pictured him in this AU 🤸
36 year old KRS taking all his savings and buying a farm in a town in the middle of nowhere.
His line of work was a dangerous one, being a bodyguard for high-profile clients
After a job where KRS was blinded in one eye, he took the compensation money and his savings and quit.
His idea was to buy a small, nice house in a town far from the city. But LSH and CJS convinced him that he should buy a couple of acres and make it a farm. Their argument was something about how he should keep himself busy with something to avoid getting into trouble.
Bullshit. If you ask him. But they made him promise that after a three-hour session of them yapping, he only managed to convince them to buy something smaller. There is still a lot of space for only one person (for now)
They made him promise that once they retire, he would give them a room at the farm. KRS sometimes wonders why they tend to ask obvious questions.
The land was acquired at a low price due to its condition: weeds everywhere, rocks, and a two-story old wooden house with leaks.
He wouldn't have bought it if it weren't for the fact that the previous owner had told him he had completely redone the plumbing and wiring a few years earlier.
The only thing Roksoo carried with him when he arrived at his new residence was a bag with clothes and another with his few precious belongings: books, a coffee machine that his coworkers gave him for his birthday, and his pillow.
The moment he set foot on his new property, Roksoo kind of regretted it all because of the work the property needed. He was aware of the condition of the house when he moved in, but for some reason he thought it would be easy. Never again.
He blames LSH and CJS for putting ideas in his head about moving to a farm; this wasn't his idea about living like a slacker. He could do nothing but sigh and enter the house.
The first step creaked as he walked on it; he avoided stepping on the second one, which was obviously rotten. The board on the third and final step creaked and broke. KRS cursed and fell into the hole. He had scratches all over his calf when he managed to get his leg out of the hole.
KRS wondered if he should have been less stingy when it came to shelling out money to buy the property. It's not like he couldn't afford it; he wasn't as rich as he would have liked to be, but he wasn't lacking either.
There was nothing he could do now, so he simply sighed again and opened the creaking door. A cloud of dust made him cough and step back.
KRS mentally thanks the previous owner, who was kind enough to leave him his old tools in the shed. He left his bags on the floor and went to look for a broom to clean the interior to make it minimally habitable for the night.

Cale said calmly as he planned how to burn everything down.
