Cale needed that evil god's test. Not only to fight despair, but also for his mental health.
He needed to see that there was a world where "Kim Rok Soo" was not left to survive alone. He needed to see all his "what ifs" happen. He needed to resolve all the regrets of "Kim Rok Soo" to fully live as Cale Henituse. Because even if it wasn't his world, he now knows that a "Kim Rok Soo" was happy, surrounded by people he loves, people who would survive with him.
That is how he can loosen the shackles of fear of being alone again as Cale. "We will all survive" is not just a random mantra for him. He needs it to be true. He has had so much loss and grief in his life.
Even if he doesn't really say so, that grief was what kept him going. To "not waste" the sacrifices of all those who saved him, he kept surviving. But that is also why he's reckless despite "valuing" his life.
I think, subconsciously, he thinks that if he can save more people, then that would be a good "payment" for those who saved him. His "slacker life" is basically world peace. ðŸ¤
Back to the point... The test showed him Kim Rok Soo and everyone he cares for survive, so now he has more courage and less doubt to face WS because he wants a life like Parallel KRS', as Cale Henituse.
scrolling through ao3, once again realising the one fic I want to read is the one I have to write.
Got cursed by thought goblins
Like, Rooster!Alberu, Cow!Choi Han, Sheep!Beacrox, Duck!Ron... And etcetera? German Shepherd!Rosalyn is my favourite.... Border Collie!Lock would be cute. Did I messed up with the image? Well that's the purpose.
I'm craving non-human characters and Cale being the only Human as the cherry on topXD like it is never necessary to have heavy plot, like slice of life and crack is kinda rare in this fandom....
Cale going back and forth in selling his harvest but never the livestock he had taken care of since they're his precious babies<3
HAD TO REPOST CUZ SPELLING AHHH
Saw this post as was like "omg that's so Choi Han and Cale" and had to redraw the same meme
Alberu is tired of his shit
Can’t believe my first real drawing of Cale is this
Anyways original:
