"...It will give you the chance to manipulate Time: to rewind, to fast-forward, or to make it stop," he reached for the hourglass and added, "However you must remember this: In every time you use this hourglass, every grain of sand has an equivalent sacrifice, the longer the time you consume will graven the consequence that you must face. Do you still want to take it?" he offered her the mysterious hourglass, paused and waited for the mortal's reply.

"Hey! Can't you stop for like five minutes? I have so many questions and you keep going on and on." I yelled at him. He turned around and proceeded to come toward me, fuming in anger. I instinctively started taking steps backwards until my back touched the wall. He came towards me and caged me, whispering in anger "Really? And why, pray tell me, should I answer them." ***** Hi!

Reason
Cale Henituse, the Roan Empire's Silver Shield Commander who was loved by all, breathed his last in old age surrounded by his precious family. Cale, who used to be called Kim Rok-soo, was content with his life, he won the war and started a peaceful life with his family who accepted him for who he was. The now bleached red-haired commander had no regrets about his life. "Goodbye... Thank you..." In that way he had given a proper goodbye, he could go in peace now. But apparently the world still wanted to play tricks on him... 'Haaaahh, you pesky bastard' The frustrating phrase Eruhaben threw at him every time he was about to encounter bad luck rang in Cale's head. "Damn it, why is this happening to me? And what the hell with this place!!" The story where Cale Henituse was reincarnated in a strange fantasy world with the sea as far as the eye could see.
the trash that sleeps | totcf au
Instead of transmigrating as Kim Rok Soo, Cale Henituse was sent back in time after he was reincarnated as Kim Rok Soo. But what he didn't expect, with the regression and soul merging, he was sent back after he was beaten up by Choi Han(which happened earlier than before), but the after effects were much worse than he imagined. aka: an OG! Cale harem (because he deserves all the love) with the fictional version of narcolepsy and sleep apnea. (note: I do not have medical experience or knowledge about this, that's why I made a fictional version lol)

The Lament Of An Iniquitous Guardian Father || Lout Of the Count's Family
[COMPLETED] Everything around him was blurry. His body aching painfully despite the common fact that his ancient power should've healed his wounds by now. Cale couldn't even utter a low whine when he felt his wrist burn at the painful friction of the rope that was tying him. "Cale." The redhead looked at the source of the voice, a blurry shade of red moving in front of him. There was then a lamp that was settled beside him, Cale blinks to see the White Star fully in front of him and his guard raised at the maximum in case on what he plans on doing. "Eat." There was then a piece of meat that met against Cale's bleeding lips. The disgusting stench of blood penetrating his nose as he weakly glared at the man. White Star smirked, "Go on, eat. You'll get stronger." Cale's eyes blown wide when he saw the meat that the White Star was trying to feed him. It looks like a charred one that was burnt from cooking, if you ignore how blood still seeps from one of the tendons. "....!" The White Star then forced his mouth open, easily clenching Cale's jaw as he stuffed the black meat inside his mouth. Tears pooled at the side of Cale's reddish-brown eyes as he tried to spit out the meat. He can't, for the love of God, he just can't. "Listen to my pleads, my dear child. Eat." 'No...' "Raon..." ✶⊶⊷⊶⊷❍⊶⊷⊶⊷✶ This is a canon divergence. Please note that this work have trigger warnings such as blood, gore, slavery and manipulation. The main tag would be Dead Dove Do Not Eat.Complete
