TCF/LCF Fanfiction | Why me..? (Eng ver.)

01 Even if it's my second life, I choose to be trash.

Kim Rok Soo, a company employee who dreams of being slacker after retirement. He never expected that he would have the opportunity to have a first-hand experience like transmigrating into a novel.

But what was even more unexpected was that the novel happened to be the same world that he had lived in.

Kim Rok Soo, no, Cale Henituse never expected that, he must re-enter the world he once abandoned.

...

First time, when he reading the novel 'The Birth of a Hero', Kim Rok Soo feels a special bending to the story of this novel, to special that even Choi Jung Soo has teased that he was a fan of this novel many times.

The even more strange, is that Kim Rok Soo doesn't like reading this type of novel much. Just surviving in real life is exhausting enough. Even so, even though the story is extremely messy, there's only war and people dying like falling leaves. But he couldn't put this novel down.

Moreover, he's also fascinated by the 2-line description(?) of the minor villain who appears at the beginning of the story in passing, such as Cale Henituse, the trash of the Count family who besides being a trash, living life in vain, wasting his father's money every day is just a step for the main character, Choi Han, to cross. Along with increasing the madness and hopelessness of the world.

In fact, he didn't hate the actions of the main character in the story that beats trash, demand justice for the villagers. Even came out to support it. But whenever he think of that chapter, Kim Rok Soo is both annoyed and felt cold every time.

'Ha, it must have been because while reading, I was definitely imagining it, so that I definitely got goosebumps.'

Kim Rok Soo used to think like that. (And last night he fell asleep after reading a novel. He still thought like that...)

Until he awakens as Cale Henituse (Once more), then he realized that this horrible feeling was because he had actually been beaten to the point of breaking his flesh in a previous life.

And now he is back in the old world again....

"Shit..." Kim Ro-, No, Cale ruffled his red hair and squeezed the nape of his neck to prevent the pressure from building up in his frustration.

Even though Cale wanted this to be just a dream. But the familiar atmosphere in the room, the feel of the bed and the fabric against his skin didn't allow him to deceive himself.

Cale felt like he'd been slapped hard by reality.

He could remember the whole story. Images of more than 20 years of war that had been experienced suddenly became clear as if it had just happened yesterday.

Both images of piles of corpses from allies and enemies, the heat from the fires of war scorched the skin, scorching the image of the destroyed territory, the image of his family slowly dying away from him, the image of him gritting his teeth and pushing his sword into battles.

Until the last image..

The image of death that came upon himself.

...

.

Even after that, Cale made a contract with the God of Death and was reborn in Korea as Kim Rok Soo, leaving his shitty life from his old world behind.

Even though he had decided to discard all those stories. But he was forced to return a ticket back to his old world.

'How frustrating. I have to face all this misfortune again.'
