Cale didn't know, but his face was red from thinking of that. He seemed to be like a lovesick girl thinking of their crush.

Choi Han, Alberu and Kim Namwoon were looking at Cale weirdly however the person they were looking at didn't realise.

Slap! Everyone flinched as they heard the sound of flesh colliding with each other. They turned to the source of sound and could see Cale with a red hand print on his face.

"Ahem."

Dang it, I got too sucked in to my thoughts of the main characters.

Cale could only look away at the gazes directed at him. He saw a screen pop up after he turned away.

[The constellation 'Secretive Plotter' ask if your cheek is ok.]

[The constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' is concerned for your cheek.]

[The constellation 'Admirer of Beautiful Things' says to not slap yourself again.]

The corners of Cale's lips twitched up and he put on a bright smile that Raon would have said was similar to Alberu's.

"I am ok constellation-nims, thank you for your concern on this low being, I won't slap myself again."

[Many constellations are shocked by your beauty!]

[The constellation 'Eternal Rest' says that this is the beauty of his child!]

[1000 coins have been sponsored.]

"Hah? Since when was I your child? And, only 1000? So cheap. Tsk."

[The constellation 'Eternal Rest' is saddened by your comment.]

[10,000 coins have been sponsored.]

"Hmph, that's more like it."

[The constellation 'Eternal Rest'is happy again.]

"Tsk, stay sad."

[The constellation 'Eternal Rest' is sad again by your comment.]

The others who were seeing the interaction of Cale and the constellations were stupefied and stood with faces that looked like gold fish's.

"Anyways, you two."

Everyone snapped out of their trance when they heard Cale's voice. Alberu and Choi Han went up to Cale as he signalled them to go closer to him.

"What is it Cal-"

Slap!

"Cale-ni-?!"

Slap!

The air was filled with tension as no one dared speak. They only stood silent with wide eyes when they saw Cale slap both Alberu and Choi Han. Only Cale's voice could be heard when he opened his mouth.

"You shouldn't have come… and, thanks for coming."

Cale's face had both aggravation and alleviation as he buried his face between the two men he slapped.

"Ha…. I feel like my life span has been reduced by 50 years now. I'm getting too old."

Cale could only sigh as he said that, really, he could understand Eruhaben a bit now. Even if he looked physically young, his mind was that of a 40 year old.

"That's not true Cale-nim! Your only 20 years old!"

Eh, what's wrong with him?

Cale could only tilt his head at Kim Namwoon. Cale turned his head to the side to watch the two main characters again.

[There are 20 seconds left to the end of the scenario.]

"Yoo Joonghyuk, I will tell you two things first."

"…What?"

"One, I'm not your subordinate. So I hope you will treat me fairly from now on."

"…"

"Two, I will cooperate with you but you also have to promise to cooperate with me."

Yoo Joonghyuk looked amused and nodded.

"Well, what is your answer?"

"Release your hand and get lost, you damn son of a bitch."

While falling, I could see Yoo Junghyuk smiling brightly. What a son of a bitch.

"I believe you. You are definitely a prophet."

[You have failed to clear the scenario.]

I could see Yoo Junghyuk approaching the the safe zone. Well, time to go.

"Let's go."

Cale whispered towards Choi Han and Alberu. Kim Namwoon who noticed them walking away, followed behind them.

[Many constellations want to see you fight.]

Cale and his group has been walking through the poison fog for quite long and Cale has been using the wind ancient power to block the poison fog. Whenever Cale was tired from walking, someone from the group would carry Cale. He didn't mind since he didn't have to walk, but, why? He didn't think much about it though.

They have been fighting monster all along their way, well, except Cale, the others fought. While looting shops, they stored food and clothes in the spatial bag that had been transported along with Cale.

Alberu and Choi Han each had a spatial bag they brought too. They would take turns putting food and clothes in their spatial bags, mostly, they would put them in Cale's.

Along the way, it was mostly weak monsters so the others dealt with it well. Cale had asked Alberu and Choi Han to train Kim Namwoon to fight. He seemed to have a lot of potential. Alberu and Choi Han, although seemed reluctant, admitted that he learns fast.

Cale didn't really understand though. He didn't use dominating aura so, why didn't monsters approach? Well, not that he wants any monsters to go to them. He's just curious.

They had stopped to have a more comfortable change of clothes too. And, of course, Cale looked good even in the simplest clothes.

[The constellation 'Admirer of Beautiful Things' says you look good.]

"I'm only wearing a plain white shirt and black pants."

[The constellation 'Admirer of Beautiful Things' says Still! You look good!]

"Ok, then…"

"Oh! Cale! Come here!"

"Kkkkkkk."

Currently, Cale and his group are in a costume shop. They have been picking out clothes to wear and storing them in their spatial bags, except Kim Namwoon, he doesn't have a spatial bag.

"I'm doneeeee."

"Omg!!!"

[The constellation 'Admirer of Beautiful Things' says you look really good!]

"Thank you constellation-nim, for such a high being to give this humble person a compliment, I will keep it in my heart forever."

Cale smiled brightly at the ceiling after speaking his sentence. His smiled widened when he saw more notifications screens popping up in front of him.

Cale was now wearing (use your imagination 😉)

Kim Namwoon who never saw Cale wear clothes like this before was fangirling over it. Alberu and Choi Han who have seen Cale wear clothes like this were just nodding their head.
