This is some of the illustrations I drew for a Greek Myth theme LCF offline event.

Below are illustrations for cards, with Cale as Dionysus, Alver as Icarus, Choi as Perseus holding Medusa White Star and lastly Kim Roksoo as Hades with his trusted three-headed hound Ceberus (three Chois)

The last two (Cale as Dionysus and KRS as Hades) is for two standee 1:1 scale. The results look amazing, but both KRS and Cale are shorter than I expected them to be.

OgKrs, just trying to live peacefully and avoid trouble, stumbles once again into another evil plan by Arm and WS: Damn it! Now I have to deal with this for my own peace of mind. Those bastards keep causing me problems and preventing me from being a slacker! Raon, bring the bombs! OgCale, in his younger body if he hadn't transmigrated, carrying twenty years of trauma and a thirst for revenge, actively pursuing Arm and WS: *bursts down the door of some super-secret Arm hideout, holding a mana bomb in each hand with a dozen more in his space pouch, and grinning like a maniac.* Hey, you bastards! I brought you a little present!

Honestly, the funniest thing about thinking about TCF is realising how pissed off the White Star and Arm must have been about Cale and his group consistently beating them. This is made even funnier when you realise that physically Cale and his main crew look like a bunch or teenagers, kids and animals, who for some reason keep outsmarting and beating them. Like, I don't think they'd know Choi Han has actually been alive hundreds of years, and physically, he looks 16. There's two random cats running around, spreading poisoned fog, but TBF I can't remember how long the cats are hidden, Cale himself looks and physically is 18, can't remember Lock's age but I feel like he's also around 15. I imagine Rosalyn is also a similar age but I don't know if / when we get her age. And I just have to wonder how pissed Arm was when they found out they were being bested by a couple of teens and like early 20 year olds. Especially the White Star since he's been planning this for so long and he's being beaten by teens. I wonder if they said "we would've gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling kids, and their cats." Also the fact that Cale and his crew will be everywhere for a few weeks, go completely off the grid, no one hears anything about them, and then suddenly they're back, and, oh, yep, the group's definitely bigger. Hey, wait, weren't they with us before? Like I like to imagine that, as time passed, they tried to stay confident and seem cocky, but were lowkey terrified, because what the fuck? Where does he keep finding these people? What do you mean there's like 7 Dragons on his side? What do you mean he has that many ancient powers? It's been two years. How did he do this so fast? Like, imagine being the White Star, or the God of Despair, or worse, a low ranking Arm member. Like, yes, we're a cult, we follow the White Star, but... do we really have to fight these guys?

I like to imagine that White Star probably had at least one breakdown because imagine trying to defeat your mortal enemy and the man keeps reacting like:

"Ugh…"

"This again?"

"Can we do this tomorrow?"

That level of exhausted indifference is psychologically devastating, especially to someone like that white radish that wanted nothing more than to be a legend, a God, an undefeated entity.

…yeah, pipe dreams, bruh. Suffer the devastating blow of a rock and stick and die similar to a caveman.

I have a tiny nagging feeling that Cale's biological parents from Earth 1 are important people and might play a huge role in the story.

I get that it's pretty common for almost every single fantasy protagonist out there to be an orphan just for the sake of plot and to give them a tragic backstory to add more flavor to their character—and usually, their late parents are irrelevant to the overall main plot.

But this is TCF we're talking about which often subverts tropes. Where miniscule seemingly insignificant details turn out to be much more crucial later on in developing both the plot and characters.

Take Jour Thames as an example. In TBOAH, she was not directly mentioned nor were we given much information about her character—hell, she didn't even make an appearance. All we knew was that she was the late countess who died in a carriage incident. For hundreds of chapters, she was not once mentioned.

But who would've thought that the mother of the minor villain from a typical fantasy novel actually played a vital role to the plot and knows more about what's going on than what we were let on? Her ancient power—which we didn't even know she had—greatly helped Cale in finishing off White Star for good. Additionally, her journal gave Cale some insight about the Hunters and knowledge about time.

She's one of the most important characters in TCF despite her status as a minor side character.

Who's to say Cale's parents aren't either?

Moreover, Cale is a special person. Everything that has happened to him, everything that's related to him—they're not coincidences. There's always some hidden history or background to it. Such as how every misfortune that has befallen on him was all due to a curse and that he was supposed to be born in Nameless 1, but his original body got stolen by White Star. There were Hunters who targeted him during his high school days and erased some of his memories. He was fated to die but he lived. There's a high possibility that he is of Thames lineage had White Star not stolen his body—belonging to an enigmatic family who studies and researches subjects regarding time.

I doubt Cale's parents are normal. They're the ones who gave birth to such a peculiar person after all.
