1.

Cale: watching seven strangers tumble out of a portal onto his lawn

Cale: "Of course. Of course. I take one nap—"

2.

Cale: opens door

Cale: stares at seven teenagers from another dimension

Cale: closes door

Cale: opens door again

Cale: "...Fuck."

3.

Elias: "That was fun! Let's do it again!"

Lukas: "We literally fell through a dimensional rift into an unknown world."

Elias: "And? It was fun."

Lukas: "..."

Elias: "...Okay but the landing was pretty fun though."

4.

Cale: "Come in. Don't touch anything."

Elias, already sprawled on the longest couch: "This is so comfortable!"

Cale: eye twitching "I said don't touch anything."

Elias: "I'm not touching. I'm laying."

Cale: "..."

5.

Elias, after being told they need to leave quickly: "But we just got here! Can't we stay for a little vacation?"

Cale: "This is not a hotel."

Lukas: internally 'You literally have 'Innkeeper' in your title.'

6.

Lukas: reading Cale's status window

Lukas: "Health: -9. How is he standing. How is he feeding children. What is wrong with this world."

7.

Lukas, checking Cale's status window for the second time:

Health: -9 [+10]

Luck: -10 [+10]

Title: GoD's favourite child

Lukas: "What kind of life produces this?"

Cale, from across the room, seemingly reading his mind: "A long one."

8.

Cale: thinking about Lukas "Finally, a normal person."

Cale: has a dragon on his shoulder, two talking cats at his feet, a former assassin as his butler, and a criminal record that would make historians weep

Cale: "He seems sensible. Like me."

9.

Cale: looking at Lukas "He is the most normal person in the group, just like me."

TCF cast: "…"

Machasal cast: "…"

Readers: "…"

Summary:

When a rift between worlds tears open, Lukas Askanier and his Eszett companions are thrust from their 19th-century world into the lands of Roan Emperor. With their knowledge of modern science, politics, and religion— they struggle to adapt to a realm living far behind but also forward than theirs. In the midst of navigating strange customs and forging uneasy alliances, Lukas finds himself drawn to the enigmatic Cale Henituse—a man whose calm detachment and thinking mirror his own. What begins as reluctant cooperation slowly deepens into a rare bond neither of them expected. Or, Cale lounged at the Super Rock Villa, basking in the peace he’d fought so hard for. ‘White Star? Gone. Hunters? Gone. None can interrupt my slacker life anymore!” Then came a knock. He opened the door, only to find a group of unfamiliar people—clearly not from this world—staring at him in awe. Cale blinked once. “…Fuck.”

The happiest moment of Leo's life! 🤭

[naidirebus]

[lauren1el]

Luka literally flinching or immediately stiffening up like a deer in headlights whenever Leo comes up from behind muttering his name will never not be funny to me, he KNOWS what's coming for him 😭🙏

Where do you read

How to survive as the second son of the magic family?

I've seen you make several posts about it, but I've never heard of it before.

I read it on Kakao Page (Korean).

You can also find it on "JadeScrolls" (until ch 245) and "Dao Translate" (until ch 700) in English. But those are just machine translations, so some parts might be hard to understand. Sadly, there’s no proper English version yet.

But this amazing novel surely deserves an equally amazing translation! 🔥

"You have the right not to remember, Leo."

"I won't exercise that right, Lukas. Are you telling me to leave you alone in that time? All this time…"

"Yes. I need to see you living your life with the same eyes you have today. That's my happiness. If I say it like that, will you accept it?"

For the first time in my life, I saw despair in Lukas's eyes.

"I don't want you to remember. Please."

Spoilers:

Lukas to Elias ->

• I always liked Elias to win.

• "Elias , I have been alive thanks to you, so choosing your story at the last minute was the best thing for my life."

• "Elias , are you comfortable?"

• "I can't ask you to live for me, Eli."

• I can't ask him to live because I love him so much. This was the way I love what I love.

• "It’s not that I didn’t tell you because I didn’t trust you. You would accept anything, I knew that, so…”

“So I didn’t want to tell you. I didn’t want you to be burdened with my worries too."
