It's the stuff of nightmares to think about having an ever-growing population of dragons (;;;*_*)

In the best situation, humans and all other races would be slaves to the whims of the dragons, dying one after another.

In the worst case it is the end of the world.

Wait! (◎ ◎) That doesn't sound like…

I always thought the reason Dragons only lay one egg in TCF (being Sherritt the only exception) was a bit obvious, and then realized I'm stupid for thinking it was obvious, so I'll share my thoughts.

It's a way to avoid overpopulation.

Think about it, each ecosystem has its own rules and there is a reason why invasor species (animals that were thoughlessly released in an ecosystem they didn't belong to) are considered invasors.

They tilt the whole balance within, they eat other species that eat plagues or help pollination, and end up becoming a plague.

What do you think would happen if Dragons were social creatures? What do you think would happen if they reproduced like humans or could lay more eggs like, say, snakes?

Dragons are the Apex Predator of Apex Predators. Just one of them can destroy a whole country, the ecosystem would collapse if too many inhabit the world, it's not like Dragons would hesitate to get rid of anything inconveniencing them

So yeah, nature has to have a way to keep them in check

I really like that the romance and shipping are left for the secondary characters (Mannah, Jax, Hatoonka, etc.) (￣ω￣)

I prefer to read about queerplatonic relationships, family and friendships, that's one of the main reasons I love this book. (*¯ ³¯*)♡

Love all the shipping but i gotta remember why i started reading this manhwa in the first place xD

Oh my gods! This is the best idea in the world! ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ

Canonically Ohn recreated the world tree's blizzard so the idea that she can create frost is perfect (￣ε￣＠) , better yet, she could learn to imitate fog on the path of no return ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ

Fog capable of disorienting you and distorting magic? Yes please! 人(_ _*)

Furthermore, capsain (what makes chilies and others spicy) is a poison, imagine Hong simply creating spicy fire capable of reaching meters away, it will be quite a shit show ╰(▔∀▔)╯

(Also Hong, Cale, Choi Han, Sui Khan and CJS enjoying extra spicy Korean food while everyone else looks at them like crazy is an image that now lives rent-free in my head ＼（Ｔ∇Ｔ）／)

Fire & Frost.

[TCF Masterlist]

This is for the Nightingale!AU that is currently in the works. Ohn and Hong getting new powers. Hong having flammable poison is already canon (see Battle in Ubarr Territory) but I went a different route.

CHETTER TERRITORY - Ohn

"Ohn, what are you reading?"

"Something, from there."

The silver cat used her tail to point at the lower tier of one of the shelves. Every so often, she would make a small noise of interest. Cale and Ohn were currently sitting in the library in Chetter Estate. In a few days time, they would need to go the Eric-hyung's mansion.

"Ohn, some of your fog is coming out."

"I know... Cale-nya! How do they feel?"

Cale tilted his head in questioning.

"Like are they really cold? Or really hot? Or what?"

Perplexed by the question, Cale plunges one of his hand into a dense fog. He says that it feels like fog, colder than room and slightly wet but it's just fog... He watched as the silver cat frowned in concentration before feeling the changes to his hand. The fog seemed to get a degree colder, and slightly denser.

"Why don't we try this out again once we leave Gilbert's estate.

While they were on the road, Cale had Ohn try the fog again. This time, it was much colder than when she first tried. After a few more days of practice, there was a thin layer of frost on his hand when it was lifted from the fog. Ohn's new fog was also very heavy, according to when she tried it on a small rabbit during a hunt. The small creature was visibly struggling against the dense weight and eventually fell unconscious from the cold.

Huh... Neat...

WHEELSMAN TERRITORY - Hong

"ERIC HYUNG WHAT DID YOU FEED HIM?!"

"I DON'T KNOW?!"

"OHN! COVER YOUR BROTHER IN YOUR FROST FOG"

"Mreeeow!"

"Oh wow, you got yourself some powerful creatures."

Cale glared at his hyung, who looked back apologetically. Once Hong emerged from the chilly fog, with damp fur no less, he was bundled up in a towel by the red-haired son of the count and brought into a room in the Wheelsman Estate.

"So... Hong can breathe fire now... And also set himself on fire. As if the poison was not enough.. Haaaaaa."

Dinner time was a-

"With all due respect Eric-hyung, I do not trust you to feed Hong and Ohn, especially after what happened this afternoon."

The lord and lady of the house looked intrigued, then horrified after hearing the kitten has apparently unlocked the ability of fire after Eric fed it something, and has burned a portion of the garden.

Is it possible to die of tenderness?

Because I'm dying of tenderness (xωx)⌒☆

Cale as Naru

❤ (ɔˆз(ˆ⌣ˆc) <- Cale

Villains who deserve redemption (✧ω✧) (Part 1: Becrock)

Becrock is a great villain in my view and his idea of how to mix living and dead mana was fascinating (✯◡✯)

I found his character very interesting and his story had too many holes and mysteries to solve so it seemed like a real waste that he no longer appeared after Rosalyn defeated him in battle (︶︹︺)

The fact that he got rid of his subordinates so easily is not an excuse for him not being given a well-deserved redemption or at least a relationship of frenemies and/or reluctant allies with Cale's group, after all DHB did exactly what himself and after being punished he was easily accepted as a member of the family and if everything goes as hinted in the Apitoyu arc he will soon receive a name (」><)」

(Don't get me wrong, I love the DHB (°◡°♡), but I feel that he is a good representative of this type of situation)

I really like the idea of him becoming Rosalyn's subordinate after all, he respects strength and Rosalyn defeating him will definitely show her strength to him probably having an energetic boss-non-energetic subordinate relationship ♡(｡ - ω -)

And who knows? Maybe after that he will become the leader of the ghostly mana research sector (Living Mana + Dead Mana = Ghostly Mana) in the new magic tower ( ̇꒳ ̇ )

Okay, both theories are very interesting, but I always thought of something completely different.

We’ve been told that Cale is unusual because he doesn’t absorb the soul fragments in ancient powers to make them his own. But what if this is what makes them powerful?

In most fiction, souls hold immense power, enough to rival ten suns, as a TV show I can’t remember the name of once said.

And if this is true, a single fragment has enough energy to power millions of cities. Therefore…

…the souls of users are what fuel the ancient powers.

I know it doesn’t make much sense, but think about it: the reason one can’t use the full power of an ancient power is that they don’t absorb the remnants of the souls of the ancient bearers. If they did, the surviving will of these fragments would help the current bearer (Cale) unlock the full potential of these powers.

For example, purifying dead mana, controlling trees, tracking divine artifacts, alerting to danger (“Are you trying to sacrifice yourself?”), etc.

And the reason nobody knows this is that the surviving wills of the ancient bearers, if they decide they don’t like you, will do everything possible to prevent you from absorbing them while also refusing to give you any advice or help.

The only way to avoid this would be to have a very strong will and/or soul or to know this information beforehand.

That’s my theory.

Why were ancient powers in TBOAH not considered strong? Let’s talk about it.

What was that thing in the beginning of the novel that talked about ancient powers not being powerful? And despite people having them, they weren’t used very much in The Birth of a Hero because of that?

Cale had said it before when he talked about the fiery thunderbolt in tboah when Pendrick had gotten it, saying that it was of equal power to like a lighter or something, nowhere as powerful as what they needed it for.

But when Cale got it, it’s suddenly just gods damnation?!?!?? And it had the power to purify dead mana and black magic like this whole time?? That needs to be a topic for a whole other post (I mean seriously, that’s overpowered af, and no one would’ve ever known because only Cale can hear the voices of ancient powers, so Pendrick would forever have absolutely no idea it could do that)

I mean, it could be the way he spent all that money just to give it more power in a way Pendrick would never be able to do because they’re so non-materialistic.

But still, it’s just such a big difference????

The Sound of the Wind, Toonka in TBOAH never used it, again, maybe just because it might’ve been a bit too similar to magic, but he also called it weak and just never used it!

The Unbreakable Shield was just never used period, despite its usefulness and utility.

I have no idea about the Sky-Eating Water because I think it also never got used.

But why does something about Cale make these powers stronger?

They’re not even fully combined with his soul! They’re not at full power!! What the hell???!??

I have a theory about this, but you have to hear me out-

So TBOAH was the story about the creation of a hero through suffering and overcoming adversity, right?

Maybe his ancient powers are so strong because of a, “high risk, high return” type thing?

For example, referencing one of my past posts, every time he coughs up blood from an ancient powers recoil, he should be dying. His plate is weak, it’s made of glass, and every time he uses one last their limit, that glass will get closer snd closer to breaking, that is, without the Crybaby ancient power.

The Crybaby ancient power serves as a cushion, a shock-absorber, for every time one of the other ancient powers tries to recoil against Cale’s glass plate.

Just think of it as, every time Cale has ever coughed up blood, he should’ve been dead.

And of course, Cale, with barely any self preservation instincts, or those mental blocks in his brain that would usually be like “oh using that much would be too harmful, let’s not,” Mr, I can used Instant for 5 seconds and come out looking like I jumped into a blender, who is willing to sacrifice himself at anytime for the ones he loves, will always use the ancient powers past the safe limit.

For taking such a large backlash, one that would, should, be strong enough to kill you, you must be rewarded with something pretty powerful, right? Balance and all that shit?

Does any of this make sense? It’s like 1 am right now

Reviews TCF the Manhwa ＼(٥⁀▽⁀ )／(1-10)

I'm waiting for enough chapters of book 2 to be uploaded to start a marathon and while I wait I've been reading the manhwa.

And I'm going to say it honestly, I was a little disappointed (-ω-、), I'm going to do little reviews for the chapters I read from now on so here's my review of the first ten chapters.

The first thing I noticed is that they skipped the scene where KRS woke up in Cale's body and I'm a little disappointed that Ron's first appearance isn't the same, but the bathroom scene makes up for it a bit (＾〃＾)b, its design is charming and I loved the fox eyes that seem to have eyeliner in Cale's design, after all they demonstrate his cunning, plus as another publication mentions, he is the only character with white pupils instead of black, if we add the knowledge That his eyes are the same as when he was KRS is a very good omen ⸜( ´ ꒳ ` )⸝

The face Cale made when he declared that the key to fashion is the face gave me a lot of tenderness so there are no complaints on that part ┐(￣∀￣)┌

The first appearance of the Henituse family was very similar to the one in the novel and the panels were very interesting, I liked it, that's all I'll say (︶‿︺)

I really liked Billos's design, I feel that it correctly captures his character and description (￣ ▽ ￣)

Continuing to talk about the design, for some reason I really liked Ohn's shoes in their first appearance, they reminded me of ballet slippers and now I have the headcanon that that is the type of shoe he likes to wear, something comfortable and soft but It is perfect for stealth missions and easy to obtain regardless of your socioeconomic level (─‿‿─)

The first appearance of the man-eating tree was not as shocking as I expected, I feel like it still had a lot of color for a dead mana-infected tree, in fact, I didn't like its appearance either once I obtained the Indestructible Shield, where are the blue leaves? ? because that's green! not blue! (；￣Д￣)

The design of the gluttonous priestess seemed a little too similar to Egyptian clothing for someone who lived in the jungle, although it is acceptable if that is Cale's imagination (ᓀ ᓀ)

In the bar scene I saw a ruffian with a long blue braid and my first thought was, Why didn't they give that design to, I don't know, Bud? He's too handsome for an extra (`皿´＃)

When Cale and Choi Han meet Cale seemed a little awkward to me and he is perfect for this type of scene plus Ohn and Hong were super cute (´ ∀ ` *)

I liked Choi Han's design, they made all the black of the clothes work and although I would have liked the cape to be brown instead of gray, the magenta highlights in the hair and the large number of buckles on his boots made me like it. I would like the design (´▽`)b

The first mention of how those who give you food are good people hit my heart when remembering Cale's past, it was perfect ヽ(⌒▽⌒)ﾉ

The first appearance of Hans and Beacrox is not very memorable but I loved their designs, I imagined Hans as a thirty-something with a beard but I loved the fact that they presented him as a cute twenty-something, and just looking at Beacrox gives that enhanced mysterious and terrifying vibe because of the dark circles under his eyes, but he looks incredible and the resemblance to Ron is noticeable.

Cale's imagination with the bowling pins-Ron and Beacrox being hit by a ball-Choi Han was very cute highlighting Cale's way of thinking and demonstrating it again with the matryoshkas-Ron, Beacrox and Choi Han (≧◡≦)

Deruth's reflections on Cale's change reminded me that no matter how bad a father he is, he is still one.

The first appearance of the dreaded lemons was iconic and Cale's expressions are beautiful (￣ω￣)

Choi Han's transformation from mad dog to puppy has already begun and it is beautiful ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶

The Henituse family crest was shown for the first time that I have noticed it and it is perfect.

Rosalyn and Lock's silhouettes with their shadows were incredible and gave us a good idea of what they will look like.

Besides Cale's imagination of what Raon looked like was hilarious, is that perhaps a foreshadowing of his adult form? Or is Cale just underestimating things? (°▽°)?

I really liked the first appearance of the Indestructible Shield, but I was left wondering where the wings were (¯ . ¯٥)?

Ohn and Hong's adoption was very sweet and Hans' reaction to "the cute nim-kitties" was hilarious and lived up to his name as a cat lover, plus the faces they made when they found out they were Discovered I loved them (´ ε `)♡

I really liked the conversation between Cale and Billos, plus the face Billos makes is very cool (✧ω✧)

And this is everything that caught my attention from the manhwa so far＼(٥⁀▽⁀ )／

See you later! (^０^)ノ

Cale Tattos

Why does nobody talk about Cale’s tattoos?! It’s canon that Cale has tattoos, and nobody mentions it! (＃＞＜)

Why didn’t Ron ask anything? It’s safe to say that Ron knows when the shield tattoo appeared because he helps Cale get dressed. So why didn’t he say anything when it’s obvious that Cale didn’t go to a tattoo shop? After all, if he had, the rumors would go wild (＾＾＃)

And when does the heart appear? And the swirls? And the lightning bolt?! With the latter, it’s obvious that they are ancient power marks, so why is it never mentioned? ＼＼٩(๑`^´๑)۶／／

I understand it’s for plot convenience and all, but how the hell does nobody comment on it even once? ヽ(`⌒´メ)ノ

Here’s a list of Cale’s canon tattoos up to chapter 1045:

Silver shield + Heart + Lightning bolt (disappeared after the battle at Mapple Castle and the appearance of the golems) over the heart.

Swirls on the ankles.

Eight water droplets on the collarbones (four on each side).

Well, well, I know it’s not much, but it’s still significant! (」°ロ°)」
