TCF Prompt 20
TBOAH AU - Regressions
Although Choi Han was able to gravely injure the White Star, he escaped the great battle that took the life of Cale Henituse. All those that remain are left in despair. Because even though Cale was known for being 'trash' throughout his life, his true attitude and voice in the end helped them in moving forward and being able to keep going during this horrible war(whether he realized it or not).
In the end, its not Cale who regresses, but his old comrades. Not only hoping to change the outlook of the war with the White Star, but perhaps saving an old dear friend, not only from a certain villain, but from himself as well.
Meanwhile, an 18 year old Cale Henituse is quite confused as to why this man from Harris Village is so set on being his guard. More importantly...why the fuck did Ron hug him this morning? And Hans is sticking to him like glue? Not seeming afraid of him at all(and was he glaring at the staff calling him trash?). Not to mention that damn crown prince inviting him personally to the capital instead of his brother! ugh. So many plans going drown the drain...but at least these kittens(kids) from the slums are cute. Hmm...maybe its not so bad...
-----------------
Choi Han, The Molans, Rosalyn, Lock, Alberu, On, Amiru, Gilbert, Eric and Hans are the ones who regress.
OG!Cale doesn't fully regress, but he does end up having snippets of certain events(nightmares that give him headaches, etc)
OG!Cale does get all the ancient powers, including his mothers
GoD does bring KRS partly as an ancient power given to Cale(as Record, etc), and then sent off to help LSH and CJS with GoD things.
They all eventually end up meeting up to help each other, but that's a long ways yet.
On grabs Hong and goes to Cale asap cause she knows he will take them in.
Raon is saved and taken in of course. He doesn't fully remember, but like Cale he has nightmares of what could have been. Something they bond over.
Everyone is super protective and Cale is just: ????
Henituse family is confused as well, but Deruth allows it cause they make his son happy(and then they find out Cale was being trash on purpose and are not pleased. Apologies and much needed talks on both sides are given).
It takes a while(he's been acting for 10 years without a moments rest after all) but Cale allows himself to be well...himself again.
While not KRS, Cale is still an oblivious, sacrificial, unlucky bastard(thank you Eruhaben).
War ends in 2 years instead of 20. Much to the joy of everyone(Cale is kinda happy, but not, he did NOT want to be a Commander dammit! stupid hyu-...crown prince!)
Redika is killed at the plaza after trying to go after Cale
Clopeh is also killed at Henituse territory
Some events are the same as TCF, but OG!crew aren't KRS and bulldoze their way through events rather than scheme/scam lmao. It gets worse after Cale gets hurt, coughs up blood, etc.

Seriously though, I've fallen in love with tcf during the pandemic as Cale became kind of a comfort character for me and tcf kept me happy even though the world was shitty back then. It's also plus for me that Cale is quite lucky and OP and how his problems were "alWaYs sOlVed viA ovErlY cOnVeNieNt dEus-eX-maChiNas".
(I'm looking at you, tcf reviews from Novel Updates. I feel like those haters just love it when protagonists are dumb and suffer a lot of angst and heartbreak and shit, that's why they hate how easy it is that Cale solves and plans things even though his intelligence and capabilities literally fit so well with his characterization. I mean srsly, KRS was a high-ranking strategist in a monster-infested world. I'd be disappointed if a person like that isn't "OP" from all the experience and combined skillsets they've gained through hard-work.)
Unfortunately tho, Because of school things and kind of slow updates of the translated ver. of the part 2, I had a falling out with this novel and stopped reading it in January of 2023 (or maybe December of 2022, I forgor..) but I've now picked it up again and rekindled my burning love for it. (Still rooting for Clopeh to establish Caleism)
Side note: I hate how I legit haven't read the tcf novel for more than a year and yet I've managed to binge read all currently translated 223 chapters of the part 2 in just TWO days.. now I'm cranky and hungrier than ever for more tcf content :/
TCF is all about healing
- This is a review about the novel.
There's possible SPOILERS for readers who haven't finished reading the first volume.
___
When I first picked up the novel, I didn't have high expectations. After reading a lot of stories that end up disappointing me because of how the author eventually adds romance or harems into the story because their main character apparently needs a romantic relationship to feel good about themselves, I thought that Trash of the Count's Family will be the same thing further down the line.
But damn, did the author prove me wrong.
In the first few chapters, the novel's entire vibe was almost unnoticeable. Sure, there were some small details like him not being used to extravagant clothes or finding a simple meal delicious, but it wasn't obvious. It made me raise my eyebrow but I simply thought that he's a simple salaryman or something.
The first lines about him not having anyone who would miss him if he's gone in his previous world can be excused as him having no lingering attachments. And honestly, some transmigration/isekai stories do have their main characters having no attachments in their previous world. So it makes sense and it didn't alert me of what could've possibly happened to Cale, former Kim Rok Soo, for him to be so aloof and calm at the forced transmigration.
And then...he thought about poverty and pity when interacting with On and Hong. That was the first sign that he may have left a few lines out of his introduction.
It steadily got worse when he was talking to Choi Han about him being used to the cruelty of people like Venion. And then, at the first meeting with Raon, he appeared as if he understood the hopelessness of a child under an abusive adult's hand.
That's when I finally thought that TCF is a story about healing. And I was pleasantly surprised.
Sure, there's action, drama, and comedy, but TCF is mainly about moving on or healing from past hurts. There are moments when it can be called "cliche" but TCF is unique in the way it portrays Cale and his relationships. There's the found family trope that I love but what I love the most about the story is how these characters who have lost something or were about to lose something if OG Cale didn't make the deal with God of Death to have KRS replace him, is slowly understanding that they're not alone and that they can improve as a person if given the chance.
It's heart-warming and completely unexpected. I didn't read the first chapter expecting this fantasy-themed action novel to be about this.
OG Cale, Choi Han, Raon, On and Hong, Lock, Taylor and Cage, Alberu, the Dark Elves, Mary, and so many characters paved the way for me to completely fall in love with this novel.
If I sound like I'm exaggerating, then I don't care because this novel is just beautiful.
What completely blew my mind is the final reveal of Cale's past as Kim Rok Soo.
Listen, I have a love-hate relationship with KR survival novels involving monsters and dungeons and the freaking apocalypse. I love some of them and I can't stand the others. But I did not expect that Kim Rok Soo was in a world trying to survive from the effects of the apocalypse.
My first reaction was "What the actual fuck" because I 100% did not expect for the story to go that way. And my second thought was "So that's why!" Because it finally explains why he hates "papercuts"! This guy is so good at making big things about himself sound so small that it left me stunned when the big reveal happened!
I wanna slap him and hug him at the same time.
It explains why he's so good at being a commander. It explains why he's used to getting hurt or why he hates the thought of his friends and family dying with him as the survivor (I believe he has a survivor's guilt?). It explains everything.
He may be in a new world but he's still stuck in his past no matter how much he says about not thinking about what-ifs and his past. The time he spends in this new world is him slowly realizing that he's not alone and he doesn't have to be so scared.
And when I finally thought that I'm done being surprised, OG Cale appears and flips everything I knew about the character. They talk about how content they are with their new identities. They smile. They're happy. And that proves why this novel is about healing and not the simple transmigration novel full of action and comedy. Instead of getting angry at Kim Rok Soo, former Cale Henituse, for the deal with God of Death, he's just happy for the man and for himself. I just love how the author doesn't forget about Kim Rok Soo's sacrifices and rewards him with a happy life with his mother.
It's so hard not to finish the novel within weeks because of how good it is. It can be fast in some parts for the action, which makes sense since everything is happening at once. But there are also slow emotional moments that keep reminding me why I love this novel.
So yeah, this is my review about TCF. It's not a perfect novel but it's a good novel about healing and family. And I'm waiting for the second volume to be done so I can finally read the rest.
Rasheel would approve lmao😂
The great and mighty Raon Miru is great and mighty Raon Miru-ing
If he said "fuck" instead of marry, the kids will probably ask about it to Cale, Ron or Eruhaben because of the different context it was used in (besides the context they were already used to) either way, someone's dad mode will kick in so Alberu would either need to wake up to a complex, ridiculous prank (or a kingdom's worth of paperwork) or just straight up find himself in GoD's doorstep😂
Alberu: A group of kids averaging 10 years old tried to fight me today, but by pure coincidence I happened go know their dad on a first name basis. I called his name, he looked at me and smiled, and after that, I told them; "I'm gonna marry your dad." I gave those children more sociological damage then any past trauma they have ever had.

[𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗥 𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗧𝗢𝗧𝗖𝗙 𝗜 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗞???]
(𝗪𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗗 𝗔 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗥????)
Cale deals with Burrow by stabbing himself with a piece of the world tree and everything goes to shit. The issue is dealt with but now Cale is in stasis, unmoving. And which seems to be another coma. But, this time he’s not waking up and it’s taking way longer than last time. (The previous being six months, I think(?)). He has so many people waiting for him. (And they can’t handle losing him again).
Nobody is taking this well, especially his kids. That’s where the god of death takes a gamble and decides to bring him somewhere he has a chance to interfere.
And where Cale gets transported to is not where the god of death was expecting. He fucked up big time. And he feels the weight of it.
Of course it doesn’t take long for Cale’s fam to realize he and Raon are missing. Raon? Yeah, he refused to leave Cale even to eat. His older siblings took this hard too. But they wanted to stay hopeful for Cale.
(I would imagine all three of them would sleep next to Cale at night and two eldest would only leave for food or something or the sort).
Obliviously they question (threaten) god and he cracks, telling them he bought Cale (and Raon by accident) to a place he can help him. However, he keeps out the fact that he lost both of them. He’d rather not be killed today.
So you’re probably wondering where Cale and Raon have landed exactly and that’s good old Gotham. :)!!
(A place within the God of Death’s range but he struggles to identify which timeline and where exactly they landed.)
So Raon and the still unconscious Cale are stuck in Gotham. Roan is undeniably angry, sad, and confused. But he does his best to keep his human safe no matter the cost.
However, people keep trying to either take Cale for whatever purposes be it good or bad. It doesn’t matter. It probably doesn’t help that they landed in the worst place imaginable. Crime Alley….
So it’s not a surprise when there’s a rumor of a pretty red-head being protected by some type of meta(It’s Raon we all know it’s Raon.)
Raon has to continuously move, feed, and protect Cale all the same.
But damn, a meta in Gotham??? It reaches people’s ears even outside of Crime Alley's territory. Said meta is strong and it’s clear with the abundant amount of property damage.
We all know this “meta” reaches Red Hood's ears first. I mean come on this is his territory. So when he eventually finds the dubbed “Sleeping beauty” it’s in an abandoned warehouse hidden away in a corner on a mattress next to them some necessities and a bunch of toys. (There are a butt load of plushies :( ). He doesn’t miss the sound of a child sobbing and childish yet grand decor.
This “meta” was a child…. Fuck.
He’s flung with some magic and piercing screech, earth rumbling at its wake. And damn was he not prepared for this shit.
So here he is staggering to keep up with whoever this kid was, as infuriating as it is. He tries his best to calm the kid down. Which doesn’t really work. The kid’s full on growling, but he’s determined to help the kid. Because an abandoned warehouse is never a safe place to hang out in these parts.
Despite Red Hood’s offer to bring them to a safe house. Raon refuses, he can’t trust him just yet. And they both understand that this is a game of trust. So Jason takes his chance and occasionally delivers necessities to them both. While Raon doesn’t let him get close to Cale he does slowly but surely warms up to him. One day he does eventually tell him more about Cale. He affectionately calls him his dad but the tone is somber. He whispers his worries about finding him dead one day. And that’s probably the moment Jason emotionally adopts him.
Now Raon is obviously curious in nature, and much as he wants to explore he can’t past finding things to sustain them both and or keep Cale comfortable. And it’s on one of these outings that he loses Cale in the unfamiliarity. He immediately starts looking and runs into Red Hood at some point in his search. And he trusts him enough to help him look. The two eventually find out Cale’s been kidnapped by either some goons, cultist, some villain? (Whatever adds more tension idk.) Raon is livid because how fucking dare they??? And both Raon and Hood haul ass. The bad guys are dealt with and this leaves the two in silence.
This is the part of the story where Raon shows himself in a moment of trust and weakness. Cale almost got hurt and all Raon could do now is clutch on to Cale’s night gown, nuzzling into him while sobbing. Now Jason realizes this kid was a fucking baby dragon all along. What. the. Fuck????
So he comforts him the best he can. Jason decides to take care of them both, taking them to either his apartment or safe house. And Raon begrudgingly stays. They both do end up bonding together and Raon gets really comfortable. Idk if Jason would talk about himself much but they do learn about each other at some point. Raon would definitely drop some info about himself at some point and go on about how he’s stuck here because of the god of death. And Jason is both so done and not surprised at this point.
Cale’s health does end up looking worse for ware at some point. And the problems start up again. I didn’t mention it before but Cale’s mind is stuck in a perpetual loop of old memories, good and bad. SOooo, now this is the part of the story where both Raon and Jason try and wake up Cale using various methods.
At some point Jason decides to ask Bruce for help. And oh boy. Would this be an awkward family dinner…
basically jason's acquires his now child (raon) and sleeping prince (cale) :D i don't see much of a romance subplot but I do see some gay panics, and mistaken boyfriend scenarios(?) feel free to add on to this mess.
Look at that smol tiny precious bean oh my Goooooooood
I would die and kill for Raon Miru I love him so much 😭😭😭😭
"I'd destroy the world to protect you" but it's a parent/child relationship
Cale: On it's getting pretty late turn off the light and get too bed
On: Just one more chapter
Cale: no it's time for bed
On: tsk you're such a boomer
Cale: *blood pressure immediately drops and barely escapes falling* Choi Jung Soo!!
...........
Raon: Human I'm back!
Cale: Did you find out what they were planning?
Raon: Yeah! So here's the tea-
Cale: *falls backwards from his chair*
Cale: Jung Soo I swear!!
...........
Hong: Cale-nya?
Cale: Hm?
Hong: Is grandpa Eruhaben considered a dilf?
Cale: *spits his lemon tea*
Cale: JUNG SOO YOU'RE NEVER GOING NEAR MY KIDS AGAIN!!
Crossovers have me obsessed.
Alberu, having dinner with Cale
Raon: Cookie prince, how's food?
Alberu: It's great, Raon-nim. Send compliments to the chef
Raon: Okay
Raon, teleporting to the kitchen: You look cool when you hold your long sword
Beacrox: ...alright
Happy birthday Cale!! Don't ask me how they convinced him to dance with them, all you need is that he'll need a long nap afterwards.
Day 3: Sick
The context of this one is that Cale fell sick from overworking or from overusing his Records ability and fainted when the kids came in after playing outside, and promptly gave them a heart attack.
This was for OHR week
Because I was still sick during that time, I wasn't able to post this here ejehhejshw and then I forgot to post this here wuwhdgwjsh
