Cale Henituse's final words before passing away were, "I have lived a wonderfully long life." After years of trouble and misunderstanding, he finally got to enjoy his far-away and running-away slacker life.

His people had long accepted that one by one, they would face the inevitable.

He was free of regret. He got to see his kittens grow up and start their own families. He was able to properly raise his dragon. He was able to protect what he considered his family.

They're the only ones left. Only Raon and Choi Han would be left.

The orphanages and missionary work he founded in his later years would be funded by the money he had amassed. The Henituse family's heirs will protect the family in his place. Bassen and Lilly have long passed away, and it will soon be his turn.

He stared at the skies of Rowoon before he finally smiled and closed his eyes.

It's time to rest. Finally, he'll be allowed to rest.

Or so he thought.

*splash!!!!!!!!!*

"Cough! Cough!"

Cale opened his eyes to see his bathroom's familiar ceiling. Only it's rustier, dirtier, and scarier than the horror movies he's seen.

He stood up and noticed that he was the same height as when he first transmigrated.

"So... where exactly am I?"

He was expecting Ron to come in, but no one seems to have heard him call. He took his clothes and put them on by himself. He'd grown so used to his lavish and wealthy lifestyle that buttoning his shirt seemed strange.

He looked up and noticed that his current body was identical to the one he had when he first awoke as Cale Henituse.

"Ah... I sense some kind of trouble coming my way."

He's actually in serious trouble right now.

"I need to find Father and Bassen."

When he opened the doors to his room, he was surprised not to see the servants, who used to tremble in front of him. It was empty. The corridors were encrusted with spiderwebs. The antiques were caked in dust. The lavish castle where he'd go to cause trouble and make a mess is in such disarray that he regrets thinking he can mess it up again.

[This is a mess.]

He stopped when he heard Super Rock's voice.

[It's the same world but different.]

Cale had the same thought. The question is, how did they end up accompanying him?

[Does this appear to be another ruse devised by the God of Death for you? ]

Cale knew this was some kind of sci-fi thing called a parallel universe because there was time deviation, transmigration, regression, and so on.

"Wow... I kept getting caught in all kinds of shit, so I think it's normal... But this place is not normal."

The ancient power agreed. Cale checked how many of the ancient powers he had right now, but didn't expect to have all of them, including the white thing.

"Hah..." he snorted, "I'd run into that White Bastard again if this is a parallel world."

He kind of misses that bastard. His life was so silent in his later days that he used to imagine himself fighting the white thing again. He wants to smack that cretin's head a thousand more times before killing him.
