The Gathering

A/N: tcf!Cale was kidnap after plaza incident around ch.50ish

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

In an empty room, a sudden flash of light burst out, when the light faded a red hair nobleman with a flushed face and a bottle of expensive wine in hand can be seen.

"What the-!?" said the shock noble, "where am I!?"

[Welcome Cale Henituse of The Birth of a Hero]

"Wha- show yourself!" tboah!Cale angrily shouted to cover his nervousness. "who is this? and what does he mean the birth of a hero?"

Suddenly another bright light flashes, Cale covers his eyes because of the brightness.

As the light faded a black-haired man with scars covering his entire body showed up.

"!!" the black-haired man was surprised that he was suddenly transported. What's more, he is shocked to see a very familiar face.

"Who are you!? are you the one who sent me here?!" shouted tboah!Cale.

"Judging from his attitude and age.. I think he is me from the past?" the black-haired man thought.

"Hello I'm Kim Rok Soo and to answer your question no I'm not the one who sent you here, and I also don't know where we are," said og!Cale.

"So you have also been kidnapped like me" tboah!Cale was still skeptical until another words pop up.

[Welcome, now known as Kim Rok Soo]

"Now known?" tboah!Cale repeated the words "what does that mean?" thought to himself.

og!Cale flinched but then his eyes sharpened as he thought that whoever kidnap them knows his real identity.

But before he can think more about it another flash of light envelopes the room then faded to show another Cale with silver and red cats also is that a baby dragon!?

"Human! what happened?"

"We were just eating stake nya~"

"There's a person and another Cale nya~"

At that, the other Cale and 3 adorable creatures zone in on them.

"What the-!?" thought tcf!Cale "this is giving me a headache" looking at the two figures.

Before they can react to each other, words pop out in the air.

[Welcome, now known as Cale Henituse]

"Another 'now known'?" said tboah!Cale thinking of what that means.

While the other two flinched.

"Judging by what the word show to them this Cale must be the original Kim Rok Soo" og!Cale observed.

While tcf!Cale was thinking that this kidnapper know his identity and base on what the other Cale said and the reaction of this Kim Rok Soo, Cale can guess that this Kim Rok Soo is the previous owner of his body.

"Who are you? you look like our human but feels different" said the black dragon who circle around tboah!Cale

tboah!Cale thought this dragon is kinda cute, so he introduce himself.

"Name is Cale Henituse of the Henituse family, and.." tboah!Cale looks at the 2 humans with sharp eyes "who are you two and what's your real identity?" he asked as he still remember the 'now known as'.

og!Clae sigh and thought might as well get this over with, "As I previously introduced myself I am Kim Rok Soo.. but formerly known as Cale Henituse"

"!!!" they were shocked at this, "as I guessed" while tcf!Cale sigh and thinks that he didn't plan to let anyone know his identity.. but looking at the situation... Haaa.

"I am Cale Henituse formerly known as Kim Rok Soo."

"Wha-? so body switch!?" tboah!Cale was shocked "but wait! you said you're Cale Henituse" pointing at og!Cale "but that's me! so what do you mean by that!?" he asked still confused.

"Haaa.. look I also don't know how to explain this, but I can guess that your me from the past, I think it's better to ask our kidnapper for details" and og!Cale really wants to smack this kidnapper.

Meanwhile, the 3 adorable creatures approach tcf!Cale.

"Human! it's ok even if you're different! You're still our human!" said by the little dragon who flew back to tcf!Cale.

"Our youngest is right nya~"

"That's right! our youngest is really smart nya~"

As the two cat rubs their head at tcf!Cale's legs.

tcf!Cale unconsciously felt relieved as they accepted him for who he is.

[Greetings]

"!!!"

[We will explain shortly]

[For now please have a sit]

Everybody looks at the words. Suddenly one very comfortable couch that can fit all of them was placed in the center of the empty room.

"..."

"Well might as well sit down" "I'm also getting tired of just standing" thought tcf!Cale as he sat down on the right side of the couch with the children.

tboah!Cale reluctantly sat on the other side which makes the only empty space in the middle where og!Cale sat.

As everybody sat down on the very comfortable couch a glass-like wall appear on each side then a bright light burst out on each side of the wall.

A group of people was suddenly on each side of the glass-like wall.

"What the-!"

"Where are we?!"

"Who are you people?!"

All sorts of questions were asked while the black dragon turned himself invisible before anyone noticed.

"Cale-nim!" tcf!Choi Han notice tcf!Cale at the center with the children and a black-haired man with scars, he did not notice tboah!Cale because og!Cale built was blocking him.

tcf!Choi Han tried to approach tcf!Cale, so he punches the glass-like wall.

BANG

But the glass-like wall was still intact.

Seeing this tcf!Choi Han keeps pounding the wall again and again.

BANG

BANG

BANG

The 3 Cales flinched and huddle closer to each other feeling scared at Choi Han who was pounding the wall "how vicious" they all thought.

BANG BANG BANG

But the glass-like wall was still unscratched.

[No violence please]

"!!!"

At the sudden words that pop out, everyone focuses on it.

[Greetings]

[We are the ones that brought you here. We are called 'system']

[We will be explaining as to why you are here]

For now, everybody tried to calm down and to listen or more like read the explanation.

[But before that let us introduce the 3 separate groups]

Now that they are calm and assessing the situation, they realize some people on the left side look the same as some people on the right side, and vice versa.

And in the middle are Cale, two cats and a black-haired man with a lot of scars, and "?!" is that another Cale?

[Both sides are the same person with the same situation but different actions and results]

[The left side is what we call 'tboah' where their universe has a lot of wars, death, and a bad ending.]

The left side all frown. They were losing and in a stalemate but they still haven't given up. So to say that it will still lead to a bad ending was a bitter pill to swallow.

[And was originally what suppose to happen on the right side universe]

Looking at how battle-weary the left side status is and what the 'system' said, the right side doesn't like what that implicates.

[But because of the choice of one person and lots of interference of another person the right side which we call 'tcf' have a better future]

"Interference? is that me?.. no.. nope.. I'm positively sure it was not me! because I will live as a rich slacker and let others do the work! tcf!Cale thought satisfied with being in denial.

[Thus, we will let you read what will happen at tcf universe]

[This will help the tboah to find some useful information that can help you at war. And this will help the tcf to know more about the future]

[Though that's what we want, we can only give you snippet of the real information]

"Real information? so does that mean there are some different information as well?" tcf!Alberu Crossman asks while thinking about how to gain profits from this 'system'. smirk.

[Yes (and why do we feel like we are gonna get scammed) , cough anyway at the first place you shouldn't know about this information because it is against the 'law']

[So what we did is make use of the loopholes and thus we will show you the real information and some different information]

[All of you just need to figure out what is the right one but don't worry we made sure to give a clue, and it's very easy to figure out]

"Good," they all thought, it will be very hard if there weren't any clue.

"But why help? what do you all get from this?" tcf!Cale doesn't believe this system will just help without getting something. But he will make sure to get a lot of things from them. smirk.

[Of course, we'll get something out of this (again why does it feel like we are gonna get scammed), well anyway it's for our entertai- ehem we mean we just want to see your reaction and be helpful to you]

"Weren't you just about to say entertainment?" Everyone shows a deadpan face to the system.

[ehem we will not always be here so that 'law' wouldn't notice, that's why if you have any quires a part of us will do it's best to answer you all]

At that, a grey transparent liquid started to pour out in thin air. It was molding to a semi-circle shape.

plop "pyah"

"Is that a.. slime?" tboah!Choi Han observe.

It looks just like a clear bubbly slime.. a grey one at that.

"pyah"

"We could call you whatever we like? Wait why can I understand you!?" tcf!Bud says out loud.

"I think it's not only you", Everybody could understand the slime.

"pyah" "pyah"

"What do you mean by 'don't mind the details'!?" was the reaction of tboah!Bud.

[So are you all ready?]

"Wait," said the crown prince of the Roan Kingdom. While giving a refine smile he said "before we start I would like to know who these two people that created another future".

tcf!Cale and og!Cale flinched.

[Oh that? I think some of you already have an idea]

Yes base on the arrangements, there is only 1 section in the room that hasn't been introduced.

[Well I guess we'll leave the introduction to the now known as Kim Rok Soo and Cale Henituse]

"..Haaa" og!Cale sigh for the uptime. "well they will find out sooner or late, might as well explain now to get this over"

og!Cale stands up not looking at any of them introduce himself.

"Well hello I guess.. name is Kim Rok Soo from Korea but I was formerly known as Cale Henituse" with a stoic face he sat back down.

"!!!" everybody was shocked at the sudden declaration. Especially both Choi Han since they came from the same place.

Meanwhile tcf!Cale was nervous. He unconsciously hugged the children close "Shoot now I need to introduce myself. I was ok with revealing my real identity to the children but not everyone! I hope they won't kill me"

tcf!Cale slowly stand up while hugging the children, with his hand trembling whether from nervousness or the weight of the children, he did not know, he started to introduce himself.

"Uh.. when I woke up I was Cale Henituse but I was formerly known as Kim Rok Soo" immediately he sat down.

"So body switch?!" Everyone is surprised at the revelation.

"So does that mean Cale-nim was originally from Korea?" tcf!Choi Han thought shocked at what he heard.

"Ah I think I understand, Cale Henituse made a choice to switch bodies with Kim Rok Soo, and Kim Rok Soo who is now Cale Henituse was the one interfering and making good changes," a beautiful blonde elf said.

tcf!Cale frown at that "It's not me, I don't plan on interfering because I have a goal to have a slacker life. So I definitely will not be doing anything" tcf!Cale smile in satisfaction that he made things clear before they expect something from him to do troublesome things... "and why is that slime looking at me with pity"

[...]

[... Right...]

"What's with that long pause?" tcf! Cale was having a bad feeling.

[Well lucky for you all what we will show today will make things at least easier to understand their situation.. most probably]

[Also the real information tcf (Trash of The Count's Family Novel) does NOT belong to us, all credits go to the owner Yulyeohan/Yoo Ryeo Han]

???

[Anyway, make yourself comfortable and enjoy the show]

Single couches appeared out of nowhere. Everybody still has a lot of questions but decided to just sit down for now as the show will now start.

A transparent blank rectangular screen pop out.
