I AM HERE!!

Everyone dies against the hunters.

Everyone.

Except Cale, because apparently life favors him just a bit too much.

But along with that, the gods also favor him. So he's given a second chance. Two options, they said. He can go to a universe that's close to his current one, which.. it wouldn't be the same. They'd look and act the same but Cale would know that they aren't. It'd feel like he was replacing them...

So he asks for the second option and is given a warning that it won't be easy, it'll hurt, he'll suffer.

Cale, who feels like his world just fucking ended, doesn't care and insists they keep talking. They tell him that there's a way he can restart his world, they'll be sent to the very beginning. Where Cale first transmigrated.

This option already sounds a lot better.

Restarting a world takes a lot of energy from the gods, so Cale is going to have to collect it himself.

They send his soul to.. this castle. From where he stands outside with the god of death, its completely white. Even GoD looks nervous at the sight of it.

He tells Cale that once he enters the Castle, that he won't be able to come back. Cale is going to have to find his own way out. Time is warped in that castle and he won't age in there.

It's proof, in a way. That he is worthy enough for his wish to be granted. And really, what does he have to lose?

Before Cale enters the Castle, The God of Death gives him a hug and tells him to be careful.

Cale doesn't react.

Once Cale is inside, he dully notes that the interior is also completely white. The hallways are long, and they look endless.

He's got one chance, and he's determined to succeed.

Draft from last year

I HAD SO MANY IDEAS FOR THIS AT 3 AM LAST NIGHT BUT I MADE THE MISTAKE OF NOT WRITING THEM DOWN 😭😭😭😭

Part 2:

Regressor Krs!Cale

I've seen this concept before in a fic but it was a while ago

Anyways, he moves on to the new round with a spark of hope that he's found a way to die. So, he's dead set on making this round perfect for them all. Once he rescues Raon and and goes to make a vow of death with Choi han, he has a favor to ask.

And he must have sounded very convincing because Choi han agrees and the vow is sealed.

So the story goes on like normal except Cale is even more careless with his life and careful with the others and it frustrates them to no end.

And as Cale gets closer with them all Choi han slowly begins to think-

'Oh god.. I can't do this.'

Because that night that feels as though it was just yesterday, Cale asked Choi han to kill him. He'd said "I'll help you get revenge on those who destroyed your village. Once that is over and done with, once you get your happy ending, I ask that you please kill me."

And as the day where they confront the white star comes closer, Choi han panics. The "happy ending" that Cale had talked about would involve his family living peacefully, CALE is family. He's the glue that holds the whole puzzle together

And without that glue then the whole puzzle will fall apart.

What... What does he do now?

Whatever upload schedule I had before is probably dead now-

To that one asker who I'm assuming would rather I not name them:

You weren't rude at all! I'll do my best to keep my posts more organized because I have noticed how scattered they are haha-

Cale writes a will a few days before the final battle (just in case he dies) and someone finds it

Whether he actually dies after or not is up to you sksjhs-

(actually now I'm wondering if Cale could have stabbed himself beforehand- did the blood need to be wet-? Does the vitality wear off after a certain amount of time? Could he have theoretically taken the root into a random empty room, asking everyone to leave him alone for a few hours to make sure he has enough time to heal? What if he falls asleep and someone just finds him there Would it eventually get out after the final battle because Cale doesn't think it's important anymore? what if GoD is worried and ends up telling cage? What if he's really vague and forces Cale to tell them himself? What about family and especially Ron /Choi han drowning in self hatred for not questioning why the sword used to defeat the radish was covered in blood- what if they hate themselves even more when Cale comforts them saying it wasn't their fault? What if- )

BACK TO WHAT THIS POST WAS ORIGINALLY ABOUT-

Cale writing a will

Yes

The world tree said he wouldn't die but just in case, he writes a will anyways.

Everyone notices him lost in his thoughts more often, nervous and contemplating. They brush it off and assume it's nerves.

What if Cale slips it in Alberu's office just before everything goes down? In a place he thinks Alberu doesn't check often a day or two before Cale-bab?

Maybe Raon notices when he teleports Cale into the office (when the crown prince isn't there) and assumes it's something important that Cale wants to show Alberu but can't because he's busy?

So like a good son, he leaves a note (it's readable but not perfect-) telling cookie prince about the super important paper that human left in his bottom drawer-

Later, Alberu walks in with Choi han, sees the cute note that's obviously from Raon, checks his drawer, notices the letter sealed with black wax, and opens it.

And Choi han witnesses his face slowly morph into one of anxiety and pure horror.

When they confront cale there are a lot of angry tears and they do it in the middle of everyone having dinner because there are more important matters at hand because of ONE suicidal bastard-

OR

Someone finds it (probably Hans or Ron idk- OR MAYBE THE KIDS-) when he's not quite done writing it and confront him

Actually what about a tea break and Ron is helping clear out Cale's desk and finds the will while Cale is drinking tea literally ten feet In front of him-
