Tap, tap. Cale flinched after feeling someone tapping his cheek.

'Am I waking up after fainting? But what is this feeling of deja vu again...? Last time it was Jungsoo tapping my cheek after I faint...'

Cale decided he should open his eyes to find out.

"Kim Roksoo."

However, Cale stopped opening his eyes once he heard team leader Lee Soohyuk's voice.

"I know you are awake, Roksoo."

It was another dream. A dream that showed him the past. Last time was Jungsoo and now it was Soohyuk Hyung.

"Hmm, you're not going to open your eyes? Then I have another method as well."

Cale almost felt his heart stop after hearing what came next.

"Cale Henituse. Will you wake up if I call you by that name?"

'It's not a dream!' Cale ended up opening his eyes. He could see Lee Soohyuk smiling in front of him.

Cale ended up closing his eyes again after seeing where they are.

"Why are you closing your eyes again?"

'Damn it! Damn God of Death!' Cale raised his arm to cover his eyes.

Lee Soohyuk started to chuckle at this clear indication that he didn't want to open his eyes and just patted his head. "I see that our Roksoo doesn't want to see me like I want to see you."

"...It's not like that!" Cale shouted in panick as he opened his eyes. "Soohyuk Hyung..."

A familiar sight was in front of Cale right now. The office where Kim Roksoo had worked. The space that he had worked in for 15 years had appeared, and Cale was sitting in Kim Roksoo's seat. He was sitting on an office chair that he had never used in Cale's world.

Kim Roksoo's seat wasn't team leader Kim Roksoo's seat either. It was Kim Roksoo's seat from when he was a rookie, the seat closest to team leader Lee Soohyuk.

He was told that rookies had to be next to the team leader or a veteran team member because they never knew when a rookie would cause some trouble and put their lives in danger.

Cale looked toward Lee Soohyuk, who was standing next to him.

"Ah, you are finally willing to call me Hyung. I'm so happy."

"It wasn't like I'm unwilling, it's that I couldn't." Cale grumbled.

"I know. I've heard your circumstances from God of Death. You must have it hard."

"It was okay. I'm used to it."

"You're still a bad liar."

Lee Soohyuk who had a significantly feeble body for a swordsman looked younger than Cale's final record. He looked similar to the Lee Soohyuk that Kim Roksoo had met when he was a rookie.

"God of Death said it's time for us to meet." Lee Soohyuk took a sip of the instant coffee in a paper cup before smiling as he looked at Cale. "Want some?"

Lee Soohyuk had said that he used to only drink americanos but knew that he needed coffee even when the world flipped over and went to a mart to buy some instant coffee packets.

It had to do with something about not being able to forget the sweetness of the past or whatnot.

Cale shook his head. He just wanted to record everything here before he had to go back.

"Roksoo, were you thinking that me, Jungsoo and everyone died because of your 'cursed'?"

'Damn it.' Cale instantly started to frown.

The person in front of him was indeed Lee Soohyuk, the person who knew him best.

"I... I was... but isn't that the truth?"

"It wasn't. We protected you and died of our own choices, the situation was dangerous then but there wasn't anything to influence our choices other than the love for our Maknae."

Lee Soohyuk smiled before looking up and down at Cale and commented.

"Anyway, why do you look so terrible?"

"Well, I've just fought with a strong opponent, after all."

Lee Soohyuk shook his head in disbelief at Cale's grumbling. "Don't just walk around covered in blood. You have many more people around you caring and worrying for you now, take better care of yourself, you punk. But It looks like you've become a very famous hero."

Cale blinked in confusion. "Do you know everything from the time I've regressed as Cale Henituse?"

"Yeah. I've been watching you."

"Because of God of Death?"

Cale could hear Lee Soohyuk's voice as he brushed his face with both hands.

"Yes. He is quite slave driver."

"He is? Well, it seems you couldn't have the slacker life you like yet." Cale let out a laugh.

"You're laughing at my suffering now, huh? It's fine, you could do it for me." Lee Soohyuk headed toward the window as he said that.

The curtains on the window were closed. Normally, he would see the destroyed and desolate remains of Seoul once those curtains opened.

Chhhhhhh. However, the area outside the window was black.

"It must be because this space was created from my memories, but anything I can't recall thoroughly is black." Lee Soohyuk calmly commented as he looked toward Cale.

"The God of Death must have felt bad for me and Jungsoo. In addition, because our abilities was needed for you to complete your mission, so he gave each of us one chance."

Cale could see a paper cup that suddenly appeared in the air and landed on the table. There was instant coffee in the cup and Cale picked it up.

However, Lee Soohyuk started to speak again before he could take a sip.

"Choi Jungsoo, that punk, will met his paternal uncle once removed whom he could share his memories with and showed him everything."

"He will? Who? Ah! Choi Jungsoo... Choi Han? Choi Han is Jungsoo's paternal uncle once removed?"

"Yes, it is him."

"Will he know that I'm Kim Roksoo?"

"Maybe. You've changed a lot but people who knows you will see."

"That makes me a little nervous."

"Do you not want him to know?"

"I still have a mixed feelings about people finding out about it... about my past circumstances..."

"You always worry yourself unnecessarily." Lee Soohyuk flicked Cale on his forehead. "Everyone loves you, everything will be fine. It won't change just because of the unchangeable past."

Cale covered his forehead and smiled. "Okay. By the way, what are your chance if Jungsoo's chance to share his memories with Choi Han? Do you have anything to give me?"

Lee Soohyuk laughed loudly. "Our Roksoo had learnt to ask for gifts now. Of course, it's a big gift."

Cale brushed his hair back. His hair and hand were both covered in blood and ashes, causing him to look at Lee Soohyuk's hand that was patting his head before, but that wasn't important.

"Hyung, are you dead or alive?" Cale asked. 'What is your current status?'

"That is something you don't need to know."

"Oh... I guess it's going to be bad for me if I know."

"Our Roksoo is smart. You're the brain of our team."

"It's the only good thing I have."

"You never changed. Always giving me a worry."

"I am sorry for all the reckless actions I took."

Lee Soohyuk continued to speak with disbelief after hearing Cale respond to everything he said. "... You know I wasn't trying to blame you, right?"

"I know. I just miss talking with you like this."

"You're right. I miss it too. But let's talk about the main topic that we should talk about."

An idea passed by Cale's mind after hearing that. "... Are you passing down your ability to me?"

"Correct. You need to have my ability in order for you to get your mother's Ancient Power, right? Since you already had a Wood Power, you can't have another one without destroying the balance you worked hard to gain."

"Yes. I need to visit her after I wake up."

"Roksoo, I use the sword more."

Lee Soohyuk was famous for his sword art. There was also one more ability.

"But you don't need that, my other ability is more useful for you."

He was famous for having two different abilities.

Kim Roksoo had many abilities as well, but there were many people with multiple abilities by the time his abilities had awakened.

However, there were less than ten ability users with multiple abilities when his Hyung had awakened with two abilities.

Furthermore, the two abilities were incompatible with each other, making everyone in the world curious about how someone could have two unrelated abilities.

Most people had similar skills and there were almost no instances of completely different abilities being in the same person.

That was why there were a lot of discussion when Soohyuk Hyung chose to work for that company instead of joining a guild or the government.

"But nothing in the world is free" Lee Soohyuk said mischievously.

Cale started to chuckle. "I agree. How should I pay you then?"

"You need to pay up with money or find other ways to pay for your meal." It was a very serious tone.

"...." Cale blushed and covered his face.

"What's wrong? Did you forget who I learned this from?"

He had not forgotten. How could he forget that?

Cale removed his hands from his flush face. "Everyone teases me about that now."

Lee Soohyuk chuckled. "Can't be help, your reactions are too adorable to watch."

He turned serious after saying that. "Once this is all over, create a farm in the Forest of Darkness. Create an orchard and a field to plant crops as well. Plant tomatoes, watermelons, cucumbers, pumpkins, etc. Plant all sorts of different crops. Oh, plant similar things if your neighborhood doesn't have those crops. And take care of them yourself."

Cale's face turned blank.

"Farming is not an easy job. You know that, right? You must look after the crops every day. So, don't go wandering off to random places and instead just farm with your children. By the way, the little kid named Raon is so adorable. Tell him that for me when you decide to tell everyone about yourself. You can do it with Jungsoo's paternal uncle once removed and your other friends as well."

A record was replay in Cale's mind because he remembered why Lee Soohyuk was telling him to do this.

"We need to take you with us when we become a slacker. If we don't, we won't ever have a peaceful mind, since you're the type that would go around attracting troubles."

It was something Lee Soohyuk said in the past.

"Hyung, I'm rich now. I'm going to be a rich slacker."

"So, you are not going to take my offer?"

Cale started to smile. "Who said I wouldn't? All I'm saying is that I'll definitely fulfill the dreams that you two couldn't do."

"Oh, how generous. You don't have to specifically fulfill our dreams, the main point is for you to find your happiness."

"It's okay. I just realized that being a slacker is a good goal to have. I guess I have to read farming books when I'm free later. You know I like reading new things."

"Whatever make you happy, Roksoo. You deserve all the happiness in the world because of what you've been through."

Lee Soohyuk reached his hand out and Cale grabbed it. The moment the two of them held hands...

Clang! He heard a sharp noise. Cale looked forward with a shocked expression.

It was being destroyed. This office was slowly breaking down. Lee Soohyuk was slowly turning to dust as well.

"Are you leaving?" Cale asked, biting his lip.

"Yes. I have to go." Lee Soohyuk calmly responded.

However, his body was quickly breaking down in contrast to his relaxed demeanor.

"Roksoo."

Squeeze. Cale looked toward his Soohyuk Hyung who was squeezing his hand.

"Don't forget..." His still calm voice continued. "We didn't die because of you."

Cale's shoulders slightly flinched. However, his eyes were focused on the slowly disappearing Lee Soohyuk.

"Don't think lightly of our desires to protect our Maknae. We were all happy we could protect you. So don't blame yourself anymore. Got it?"

Cale was crying. "I understand... Hyung."

The hand that was holding his hand lifted to wipe his tear.

Psssss. The hand slowly disappeared.

Cale could see Lee Soohyuk's true smile through the teary eyes.

"Roksoo, keep on living. Being alive is the best."

Cale looked into Lee Soohyuk's eyes and nodded his head. "Yes, Hyung."

The whole area was destroyed, and the only things left were Lee Soohyuk's eyes. However, he could still hear Lee Soohyuk's voice clearly.

"Jungsoo and I are happy right now. Don't worry about us."

That was his final comment. The eyes were gone now as well.

The world around him broke apart. Only darkness remained.

Cale closed his eyes and let the tears fall freely after looking at the darkness. He had a feeling that it was time to wake up.

Cale could feel someone cautiously tapping his cheek.

"It's about time he woke up. His body is completely fine! But it has been 14 days, 7 hours, 21 minutes, and 41 seconds, and he is still not waking up!"

He could hear Raon's mumbling. Cale immediately opened his eyes as if to respond to that statement.

"Gasp!"

He could see the front paws of the Dragon who was falling over in shock. Cale sat up while feeling the softness of the blanket. He was a bit dizzy and could not see properly.

"Worrisome bastard."

"Cale, are you feeling okay?"

"Human! You are a total idiot! Human!"

He could hear three people's voices, but the voices rang in his ears, so he wasn't sure who's who. Cale slowly opened his mouth to speak but stopped suddenly.

"Ah." Cale's pupils started to shake. He could feel it once the dizziness disappeared.

He could clearly feel a new power taking place in his body. It was Lee Soohyuk's power. His Hyung's power now existed inside Cale's body.

Cale recalled his final words at that moment.

"Jung Soo and I are happy right now. Don't worry about us."

It was as if a tsunami hit him. The large wave that he had kept suppressed in his mind was causing chaos in his mind.

"I have to first start with a small field. I'll first plant tomatoes, cucumbers, and watermelons. Ah, I have to plant some hot peppers too."

"Can't I live a peaceful life later because I've lived such a difficult life?"

"You're so funny. What's the point if my pay grade goes up here? I'm not doing this to rise in rank."

"Then why am I doing this? How would I know? I just want to do it!"

"Roksoo, just come and be a slacker with us. As long as you help once in a while, we'll make sure to let feed you well."

The memories. Numerous records of his Hyungs and Sunbaes rushed into his mind. Cale felt as if his whole body was being swept away by a tsunami.

However, the comment about how his two closest people were happy, was helping him center himself within that wave.

"Gasp!"

"Gasp!"

He could hear Raon and another person gasping.

"H-Human! Y-You're crying again! Are you hurt anywhere? Do you have another nightmare like last time?"

Cale then realized that he was crying. It felt like the crying from the dream continued on in reality.

"I'm not sad or hurt. Why isn't it stopping?"

He was not sad. In fact, he was feeling relieved and at peace. The blame that he placed on himself had vanished because of Lee Soohyuk's words.

'I should be smiling right now. Because he said that they are happy right now.'

Cale started to smile. However, that smile made the others go silent.
