#KRS Cale Henituse

[justrandomfanficideas]

3-TOTCF

An AU where one day, three people suddenly appeared in the middle of a meeting or something like that.

Said three people look like a mixture of the crown prince, the trash of the Henituse house and the hero.

Of course that made people assume they were from the future(which is correct) and the children of the three they are similar to.

But they were wrong as the three looked confused(and cautious) of the people around them and didn't seem to know Alberu, (KRS)Cale and Choi Han.

When asked who they are, the oldest one introduced himself as Kim Hyunjae and the other two as Kim Hyunsung and Kim Jonghyun with them being the children of (Cale)Kim Roksoo and (it can be an oc or a character from another manhwa/novel).

Their reactions, especially Cale's, would be up to the writer as it would be why those three ended up there(even if it most probably the fault of certain god of death) but at some point Roksoo and his lover would appear to get their kids back(yes, Jour's reincarnation is still Roksoo's kid but she wasn't with her brothers when they suddenly appeared in TOTCF world...but she could go with Roksoo when he goes to bring her brothers back...as could Team 1...because it would be funny to see Team 1 giving the talk to Cale about being more careful or something and also if Jour's reincarnation had her memories and went to talk with Deruth, Ron and Beacrox).

KRS waking up as Cale: Busy day busy day gonna avoid being beaten to a pulp. Gotta catch all these APs to live a slacker life. I've got like 5 major plans and 43 backup plans running in the background anD WTF IS THAT A HERO TITLE!? WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?!

OG!Cale waking up as KRS: You know what *doesn't go to work* *goes on a reading binge*

Red Dragon!KRS!!

In this au, KRS has already gone through all three of his growth stages. Now that’s crazy considering he’s around Cale’s age when he frees himself from White Star and that he’s still small. When held in captivity, White Star had forced all of his growth stages at once. Ouch. His growth/plate was stunted as a result, leaving him super limited in his abilities. The only reason he was able to escape at all was because of his attribute— or his Earth ability— Instant. Record is an anomaly to all of this, considering it’s still an Earth ability but not his attribute since it will always be passive.

Why does he still have scars? He was basically treated in the same manner as Raon, except rather than simple entertainment and a side quest to tame a dragon, White Star was absolutely driving towards dominating KRS’s existence. He was super relentless with his abilities, using his Dragon Slayer sword to inflict irreparable damage to KRS’s body, which are the only scars left on him. Even the tiniest of cuts inflicted by that sword left a mark.

KRS was born as a very unique dragon. The first thing noticed when he hatched was an unbearable presence, almost like Dragon Fear. His unnatural features were second. His wings and tail were sharper and longer, his scales were colored blood red, and his eyes were a vibrant reddish-brown with blank white slits through the middle, watching everything around him and making it all the more unsettling. White Star was so amused by how alike they were and intrigued by KRS will, he decided to keep him on a whim, after almost gouging out his heart.

Eighteen years later, when the plot of Birth of A Hero finally begins, KRS would go to find Raon and free him, unknowing about him being his younger sibling. They find out instantly though, ever watch Tinkerbell: Secret of the Wings? It’s that kind of connection, maybe not so much with their literal wings though!

Also, about the ancient powers. Due to KRS’s strangely forced growth, his magic was incredibly stunted, despite his attribute and other abilities being amplified. Basically, he can’t communicate with mana and nature like regular dragons, he has to store it himself and while reserves are quite large despite it, the mana is very strange… As a result (and with a bit of cheating from the God of Death), KRS was able to find a balance between his strange, disconcerting mana and the ancient powers, becoming a ticking time bomb for a hot while until he could get all of the attributes, of course.

Stuff I picked on and appreciated about OgCale from his interaction in canon with KRS!Cale:

The way he immediately but indirectly claimed Cale as family.

I found it curious how he purposefully avoided possessive pronouns during most of their chat when speaking in present time, except when it was time to say goodbye. He used them when speaking in past-tense mostly.

He didn't ask 'how's my family?' but 'is the family doing well?' and later on he didn't say 'go to my mom's tomb' but 'go to mom's tomb.'

He didn't treat nor did he make Cale feel as an outsider despite being the first time they met.

He told Cale/ogKRS that he was going to save his (ogKRS) world.

Anyone who thinks ogCale is just having an easy time should probably watch the first minutes of Kaijuu no 8 to more or less dimension what kind of post-apocalyptic shit is going on there.

Not to mention, filling shoes as big as ogKRS' is not easy either. But he's doing it. He's working hard. And he will keep doing it, because he assured Cale he would save his world.

And what I like about that is that he didn't need too many words to convey: I'm gonna do my share, don't worry about that.

He wasn't weird about telling Cale about his mother's AP location

We know his mother was the most important person to him, but there was absolutely no weirdness or shadiness when giving Cale instructions to,,, y'know,, basically rob his mom's tomb

He's probably the only person thus far that actually gave Cale useful advice on how to become a slacker LOL

He was like 'there's no way you will get to slack if you don't get through Violan and Basen, bc they won't let you give up the heir position'

And I don't think anyone has been so upfront with Cale about that before. At least not during the whole Book 1.

Cos people usually sigh in exasperation or dismiss Cale's dream as nonsense, they don't even tell him why they think like that.

It was nice seeing someone giving Cale the heads up for once.

I need everyone to acknowledge the fact that KRS!Cale is a MASSIVE bookworm. He's able to thrive in Birth of a hero because he read it and enjoyed it. (yesyes record helps him, but you can't ignore the fact that he knows the characters, not just the plot. That comes from liking the thing you're reading!)

Give me the young master spending his afternoons reading under the shade of a tree with a new book series and absolutely devouring it in one sitting. He's missed being able to read a whole series and not having to hunt for the next books through a destroyed city.

Give me Cale with a little notebook full of books he'd like to read, the titles collected from the people he talks to. He'll read anything or at least try it out, but fantasy remains his favourite genre.

He also writes little opinion blurbs for his favourtie books, or jots down quotes and favourite lines. Sure his record ability means that he doesn't really have to, but it's an old habit he enjoys.

Cale, who starts collecting books on his travels, just one or two from every place he visits. His friends and allies pick up on this and start bringing him books they think he'd like. Cale has a very speicifc and rare smile when someone gifts him a book. Its small, but it somehow takes over his entire face, and you can almost see his eyes sparkle in delight. It quickly becomes a smile everyone looks forward to.

Cale, who never turns down a book given as a gift, and so he starts picking up bits of knowledge from across the continent. He learns about the edible plants in the Jungle, the different variations of marble and stone throughout the Roan Kingdom, the fables and myths of the Dark Elves. He keeps them on a shelf in his room in the super rock villa, and every once in a while, the kids pick one to have read to them. When the shelf is full, Eruhaben pulls some out from his hoard as a gift to Cale. They're almost too gaudy, but Eruhaben enchants them to protect the books from dust, damage, and pests. Cale spends an entire day reorganizing his collection.

He never thought he would be able to build his own personal library, but here he is.

Cale loves to compare the books he has in this world and the ones he knew before. Sometime in the future, he sits down and uses record to copy out his favourite series. He gifts it to Choi Han so he can have a small piece of home he never got to experience.

It becomes known that the best way to get Cale to stop and actually take a break is to plop a kid on his lap and give him a book he's been looking forward to. One year for his birthday, Alberu gives Cale free rein to explore the palace's secret library. They find him curled up in a corner a couple hours later surrounded by stacks of books.

Cale is 100% the type of person to insist that more libraries should be available to the public so that he can read easily when travelling to different places. It's definetly not because he wants more kids to be able to learn how to read, and he was able to grow into loving books because of his local library.

so you know how WS mentions not being able to taste stuff or something along those lines? Like that is miserable but what does that mean for Cale? Aside from starving for so much of his life he literally can't even properly enjoy the taste of food to the fullest. Sure maybe the curse is like watered down a little on his end compared to WS but like it's still there. So I HC that as KRS he liked really flavorful food, esp. spicy food since they're the only ones that actually kinda stand out to him in terms of taste you know. So now you have this guy who eats everything with a giant bucket of gochujang piled on top and chili flakes like it's normal while even his fellow countrymen question him.

Idk I just thought of how happy he was about eating good food when he woke up as Cale and really praising Beacrox and like. what if aside from how its fancy food compared to what he usually eats it's literally the first time he's ever PROPERLY tasted food. Thinking about how satisfied he was with his food that his family noticed and how he's finally enjoying food and akjbkdkadbakdjkw

[nonexistentirl]

The best part about Kim Roksoo's age reveal (both times lmao) was that you thought he was an oppa but turns out he was an ahjussi all along.

[noxiousgrace]

If the "krs is the red dragon" theory becomes true, i will never get over the parallel of cale having his heart sacrificed to end the world vs. sacrificing his own heart to save it

(with a roughly 1000 year difference between the events, as long as a normal dragon would've lived)

[thegradus2]

This audio keeps popping up on my fyp and i just keep thinking bout them jensjsn

[itrvahn]

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?"

[forgetme-eternally-blissfully]

Choi Han, for a test from a god, is sent to an unknown land with "Cale."

Choi Han, upon arrival, realizes something is strange about this Cale. He's got a similar appearance to his own Cale but the eyes are sharper, with a witty bite to his tongue and a quick sneer always at the ready.

He's clearly confused and distressed about being in a strange place with a strange person but he does his best to not let it show. His hand reaches for a bottle of alcohol that isn't there.

Choi Han thinks that this Cale isn't like his Cale at all.

Choi Han has a hunch that this Cale is the one from before Kim Rok Soo's possession. It makes sense. So he isn't his Cale.

However, though Choi Han wants to become cold to this stranger version of Cale, when he looks into those red-brown eyes and sees fear, he draws back. It's an instinctual feeling that he gets, right as Cale is spitting more vile words to cover up the trembling in his hands, that he doesn't want to see even a terrible Cale be afraid of him.

This doesn't stop them from arguing. Through towns, forests, deserts, they both learn on an intimate level that they would never, ever get along. Cale is too loud, too threatening, and Choi Han can't resist from debating with this strange Cale about morals, of all things. They argue constantly.

Though they argue, Choi Han can't help himself from sometimes mistaking this Cale for his own. He tells himself it's because they look alike.

They're both in the midst of an argument when a noble-like individual approaches them with cloying words, which seek to lure them inside of the noble's home. Choi Han is suspicious, but before he has the chance to decline, Cale steps in front of Choi Han and demands to speak to the noble who wants to see them.

The noble-like individual turns out to be the servant of a more powerful man, something that Cale saw through immediately.

Choi Han is stunned.

How did this, this trashy Cale with no moral upstanding, clock the intentions of a person so quickly and accurately?

He asks him directly. Cale shrugs. Choi Han believes he's mistaken when Cale's eyes flicker with calculating intent. They don't discuss it further.

Little moments like these keep occurring. Cale does something impressive, Choi Han inquires, and Cale downplays it with a sneer or an insult and refuses to speak about it again. It's weird and strange but it's familiar. Extremely so. Not the insulting, and the sneer is too odd to be his own Cale's face, but it's familiar in the sense that they both underestimate themselves. They both refuse to acknowledge what lies under the surface of their visage.

This Cale is a strange individual. He swears and laughs and grins, he's too calm about their situation, and it's difficult to get through to him when he makes up his mind about something. But the strangest thing is that all of these things remind Choi Han of his Cale.

Finally, it all comes down to a final battle. One more fight and both himself and this Cale can go back to where they belong. Choi Han is ready.

Cale receives a power from a book before the battle and it's unlike anything Choi Han has ever seen. But the coughing up of blood makes him have Cale swear to never use it. Cale swears.

Choi Han makes Cale promise to stay on the sideline and not approach. Cale easily agrees.

They get to the last stage, the last time they'll see each other again, and the villain of this world is too powerful. It's as if he weren't meant for them to fight. It's as if he were made so that they struggle.

Choi Han swings his blade to block a blow that he knows he can't block, knows might end him, and he thinks about how he can't possibly die right now and leave this Cale behind... but he's too weak.

He wonders what his Cale would do in this moment, when everything seems hopeless and nothing is working.

Cale steps in front of him and uses his power to its fullest extent.

White light is shining everywhere, blinding Choi Han who keeps his burning eyes open, desperately keeps his eyes on the Cale that's bleeding from his mouth and his nose and his eyes and his skin is starting to crack, crack like he is about to turn into dust and disappear.

Cale turns to look at Choi Han.

"Ah. I was worried it wouldn't be enough to take out the villain." His eyes stained with blood curl up in a smile. A ball of dread sits in Choi Han's stomach. "I'm glad. I'm really, really..." eyes drifting closed, his body begins to shatter further and further. "Happy for you, Choi Han."

This is why they felt familiar.

It's with a cry of grief and anger, anger at himself, that Choi Han reaches out to hold Cale, hold onto even a piece of him.

Cale's eye, the only one left as he is disintegrating, widens.

Choi Han grasps a fragment that's about to vanish from Cale's chest, somewhere next to his heart, and this piece doesn't break, doesn't disappear from Choi Han's hand. It stays solid and firm and real-

And it's all that Choi Han is left with when the gods test ends.

Choi Han wakes up, surrounded by his family, with a red, glass marble in his hand. He holds it to his chest. It hurts.

It hurts.

8-Crossover

So, the first thing about this idea is that it makes absolute no sense but it stayed in my mind for a long time to the point I wrote a small bit of it but haven't continued it or know how to continue it now.

I had been writing my fic 'Wow! Who would have thought we could have ended up like that...'(a TOTCF fic) and started reading fics of Itazura na Kiss which somehow made me think, what if the God of Death or another god fucked up/decided to mess up with Cale(the original one) and instead of sending him to Roksoo's world(and body), they sent him to Itazura na Kiss universe and he was born as Aihara Kotoko?

It makes no sense but I always liked to see what some characters would do in another's place and I think Cale and Kotoko are similar in the way they lost their mothers early and it affected them but unlike Cale, Kotoko had her father always there for her so with this Cale could have the chance of having a father that was there for him and meet love.

Of course that Cale as Kotoko would act much different but he may take the role of the 'dumb' girl and still end up in Class F for some reason but he could get the same notes as Naoki if Cale really wanted or had a reason so it.

The romance story between (Cale)Kotoko and Naoki would be different especially as Cale would not really show hurt over being rejected at first, won't follow along Naoki's mother's plans as Kotoko did, would respect Naoki's wishes and many other things.

I will leave here what I had already written for this and if someone likes it, they can continue what I wrote or simply make it all their own.

---------------------------------

They were observing each other.

They never thought they would ever meet the other.

It felt unreal, like a dream...which probably wasn't completely wrong but it also felt real.

One had long red hair that reached their butt in a low ponytail, reddish brown eyes, natural pink cupid lips and pale skin with a few scars showing which made him look like a pretty boy

The other one had short black hair, the same reddish brown eyes as the other one, a muscular body and light skin that was covered in multiple scars which made him even more attractive

"Cale Henituse"

"Kim Rok Soo"

They said at the same time but after that silence reigned back in the room they were in.

"You are the real owner of the body I am currently residing in" the black haired one says

"I am" the red haired one agrees

"You...you have nothing to say?" the other asks but the pretty boy smiles softly

"I knew what I was getting into when I made the deal with that god, he lied to me but at least you are protecting my family and my people" the pretty boy says and only now does the black haired boy notices the sadness in the other boy's eyes

"...What do you mean he lied?" the black haired boy asks as he thought that he and the original owner if the body he was residing in had simply exchanged bodies, or at least that was what Jungsoo and Soohyuk had told him

"The moment your soul left your original body...your world started collapsing as your soul was its center so all the others souls went to different worlds similar to yours" the red haired boy explains "My soul as an intruder of that world was going to be destroyed as your world blamed me for your disappearance but an...acquaintance saved me and had me reincarnate somewhere else" he adds

"...So the god lied to all of us" the other boy says, not happy with what he heard especially because at the beginning(when he hadn't yet created connections with others) he still hoped to somehow go back to his original world but now he knew that it was impossible for that to happen

"I found happiness and while sometimes I miss my original world and family...I love the one I have now" the red haired one says and the black haired boy can only sigh as if the other was happy then he can't do anything about it as the owner of the body he resides in deserves to be happy

"And what is your new name?" he asks curious

"My new name is **** ******" the red haired boy says and his body changes at this

His red hair became red-brown in color and its size was a bit smaller, his eyes were now a warm brown instead of the previous reddish brown eyes, his pale skin gained a healthy color and natural blush, his lips were tinted red instead of pink but the biggest change was that 'he' was now a 'she'.

"You..." the black haired boy mumbles unsure of what to say or how to react

"My life as Cale Henituse was left behind the day I died and accepted that idiot god's deal" the girl says "You are now Cale Henituse and I thank you for protecting those I love even if you weren't given a choice about it" she says bowing to the black haired boy

"No need to thank me or bow" the boy finally says "You are right, my life as Kim Rok Soo has ended and now I will live as Cale Henituse till the day I die" he adds and his appearance changes to match who he was now

"I suppose I should now inform you of everything that happened toe that wasn't revealed in the book" the girl says "It won't be a pretty story and please don't judge your cherished people for their actions towards me" she adds and while Cale finds strange the last part he nods at that

With that the girl started telling Cale about her previous life as Cale Henituse and everything that happened in the war besides all the information he had on Cale's enemies.

[darksunabove]

i wonder if cale has "useless" information about farming in his mind that pops up from time to time.

I mean, the Soos were thinking about farming while retired, right? I know that CJS said it was "all just talk", but since KRS at that time knew about this, I think that he might have read at least a little about farming. After all, he is the type of person who likes have information beforehand AND he had Record. It would have just take him a couple of minutes. Then team 1 died and all the information became useless.

But we also know that he was saving for a farm before he transmigrated. So, he kept recollecting some information even though he might not have retired (and needed it) until he was much older.

I mean, he is not a expert, but knows more than the average person about the topic.

[iikisa]

Wow guys.. remember this AU? 😅

Just a few concepts about what i’m thinking cale would look like as red dragon!krs again..!! There might be changes tbh, but as of now im digging the dragon form hehe

[kuroyuki-kokuyoku]

Random TCF Thought - Betting Pool

Whenever I'm reading a fic about the whole transmigration reveal and Heni!KRS and the rest of Team 1 are in the room (now that I think about it, most has Heni!KRS giving the explanation first which makes sense since KRS!Cale needs to be handheld into explaining himself), I imagine Jang Sejong raising both hands in the air and screaming loud enough for Earth 2 and maybe a few worlds next over to hear, "FUCK YEAH, I WON THE POOL!!! KOREAN BBQ ON ME, FAM!!!"

Why?

Cuz ever since Heni!KRS came back from his week-long personal leave, it's like he's become another person altogether, and almost everyone noticed the change and is hella curious as to why.

As a result, people got to theorizing. Some say that it's because of all the assassins sent to eliminate him. Others say it's an elaborate April Fool's prank, even though April 1st is a long way's off. Many more are saying that it's because he's actually seriously thinking about retiring.

Eventually, the debates as to the reason why got so heated that a betting pool was made.

Jung So Hoon offered up that he might have had a head injury that went unnoticed.

Park Kyung Ho thinks that he's going through a mid-life crisis.

Agent Cha just thinks he's finally snapped after all the bullshit he went through.

Kim Min Ah wants to be optimistic and say that he's become more open with his feelings because of his niece.

Even Director Ma got in on the pool and offered up that he's only being a little shit now because Heni!KRS has always aimed for his position in the Company and has finally set off his decade long plan to usurp his status.

Then there are troll entries in the pool. A drunken bet gone wrong. Aliens had probed him. The Unseen Gods have chosen him as our messiah to our world. Purposefully getting fired so he can be a farmer. The Illuminati replaced him with a clone. The ghost of Lee Soo Hyuk has possessed him. The deceased spirits of his niece's parents transmigrated into Heni!KRS in order to take care of her. The Giant Spaghetti Monster got bored and wanted to sew chaos. They're all starring in a hidden camera show.

Meanwhile, Jang Sejong picked the most outlandish reason that came off the top of his head. Bodysnatcher.

Who knew the newbie was right?

[murasaki-cha]

Something about how KRS!Cale never completely erased his identity as Kim Rok Soo. He still refers to himself as Kim Rok Soo at times despite how adamant he was to leave his past behind and live as Cale Henituse. How even after meeting with OG!Cale and accepting they both now live respectively as Cale Henituse and Kim Rok Soo he still calls himself by his original name. Something about how he can't throw away his past despite how painful it was because that's still a part of him. He is Cale Henituse but he will always be Kim Rok Soo.

And that is not to say that Cale!KRS completely erased his identity as Cale Henituse. He still keeps his mannerisms as Cale even while accepting that he now is just Kim Rok Soo. The difference is that Cale!KRS never really planned to change or forget his life as Cale Henituse, meanwhile KRS!Cale wanted to erase it completely and start a new life.
