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.
Had the sudden urge to draw a 40-year-old battle torn, world weary Og! Cale.
No matter which age they serve!!!
I love this duo sooo much TT
I love how they're effortlessly deducing the meaning behind the different smiles of Cale
This whole scene:
cale: well at least no one died
everyone who turns to look at cale, more specifically the ghost of cale: .....
i love alberu and raon's dynamic so much,,
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! 👍
Are you okay? You haven’t been on the platform for quite a while are you going to continue your fics on ao3?
hi! sorry it's been a while lmao, i was sick and in and out of the hospital for a few months, then i just haven't really had the motivation to write, especially since my hands got really bad and i wasn't really able to type w/o pain. but! i'm back to (mostly) normal and i'm back to writing! or, more specifically, rewriting, since my main focus is on rewriting Side Character's Guide. but yeah. basically. i'm back, i'm continuing on ao3, and i apologize for the really long hiatus!
Subtleties
Friend: Wait I thought Cale was from earth. Why is he talking about guild and monsters and stuff??
Me:
——————————————
I enjoy how subtilely krs past is explained to us as to not take away from the novels main plot. Only to have it hit us like a freaking wrecking ball later on.
And by then you get really sad cuz all these cute or random remarks he says starts to take on a deeper meaning.
That’s also why a second read of the book is so much fun. Things hit just a little bit differently.
“You have to pay for your meals”
“Little kids should eat and play”
“If you want to repay me for my trust, show me that you are healthy first. And just watch. Your friends, no, your family members, are stronger than you think.”
“Your house is our house. Is that not enough?”
Manhwa readers: Haha oh this funny running gag lol Cale
Novel reades who know why Cale thinks like this:
it started lol, the great saga of misunderstanding
Cale being mistaken as a dragon count (1)
also, this is something that someone whos DEFINITELY not a dragon would say (well he isn't one but he's sure can become one)
important info
Saint Cale
Clopeh's vision in the torture dungeon be like:
if you get this one i love you
“Next time, you must never follow someone you have never met before. Even if they say that they will feed you, you must never follow them no matter what. Do you understand?”
-- CH 739
Meanwhile, in chapter 6: “Follow me. I’ll feed you.”
-- proceeds to follow stranger
Choi Han you hypocrite
The difference between ORV and TCF fandoms is actually quite simple:
Orv fandom:
Someone: Guys Kim Dokja didn't die!
ORV fandom: OH THANK GOD! He survived another chapter! Yes! Squid lives another day everyone! Save the tears he's not dead yet!
TCF fandom:
Someone: Guys Cale didn't get hurt or cough up blood!
TCF fandom: GOD DAMN IT! Why not?! Noo! Not another chapter! Why isn't he coughing up blood anymore!? Not even fainting a little bit!! Got my hopes up for nothing!
And vice versa of course
Kim Rok Soo, and "Foresight"
You know, something occurred to me recently...
We all know that on Earth 2, the "lie" Cale told about being able to see the future was half-true, in a way. He'd seen a version of the future, in a different world. While the kid with "Lie Detection" power could tell that this was a lie – as in, "Foresight" wasn't actually an Ability – it was still true to some extent.
But you know, I started thinking... while it might have been a "lie" from Cale... it was actually NOT a lie for Kim Rok Soo. ...The other one. The 20-year-old KRS from Earth 2.
Think about it. By arriving via Sealed God's test, Cale possessed that KRS's body – but that wasn't all he did. He actually shared memories with him. It might be an aspect of "Record", or it might have been a side effect of a god placing two versions of the same person in one body. Either way, that KRS actually inherited those memories for good. The full 15 years of the other timeline, and all the knowledge that comes with it.
Thus, KRS actually became a prophet.
It must be incredibly interesting from an outsider's perspective. The older KRS was someone who eventually developed at least 2 time-related powers: Record, which allows him to remember the past flawlessly... and Instant, which allows him to transcend the limits of time. That means, the other KRS would eventually have at least 3 time-related powers. (And it's completely possible that there could be more, as the author had been teasing us with the possibility since forever.)
Now, as far as the Koreans of Earth 2 know, KRS was some 20-year-old punk who suddenly developed a bunch of super powerful abilities on top of "Foresight".... and then suddenly "lost them", for some reason. Since it's a trend in TCF that people never actually question our protagonist, and make up a bunch of quite-crazy-yet-quite-accurate theories about him instead... I'm pretty sure they're going to assume that KRS "sacrificed" those powers for the sake of changing the future. As in, that KRS was able to access those abilities because he saw himself having them in the future. Which, again, is not quite true, but not completely a lie either.
By changing the "future" of Earth 2, Cale actually did make KRS sacrifice the potential of eventually transmigrating as Cale Henituse and getting those Ancient Powers in another dimension. ...Meaning, it wouldn't be completely false. It would put "yet another" time-related Ability on KRS's tab: the ability to use your own "future powers", at the cost of losing them forever by abusing the ability. ....Again, which is not exactly what happened, but it's not totally wrong either.
Basically: by the whole misadventure of "getting possessed by yourself from another dimension", KRS got more "time-related abilities" on his tab – both as an actual thing, since the "future" memories were real, and also in the perception of other people.
In other words... KRS is constantly involved in time shenanigans, no matter what dimension, lol
