The God of Death.
Honestly he wasn't even dreaming he was just staring at black while hearing this voice. Giving Cale no distractions from him.
"What now?"
"Wow such disrespect for a God.. As always" The God of Death gave a fake tone of disbelief.
When Cale didn't respond he quickly got to the point.
"Well I'm sending you to another world."
"..."
'This crazy asshole does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he's a God?"
"No."
"It'll be somewhat like how you were sent to another version of your previous world by the sealed Gods test."
"I'm sure you can do it."
Cale didn't even bother asking he was sure he was going to be sent to save another world.
Cale took a deep breath in his dream or the dream the God of Death planned for him. "So I'm assuming this has something to do with a God?"
"You'd be correct."
The God of death seemed to be pondering for a bit. "He needs to be sealed. And you're the only one who can help with that. Well the people in that world are also very necessary for helping in this."
The God of Deaths tone became more serious.
"This God isn't sealed Cale."
He paused before adding on, "The God has equivalent power as the other gods. I can't mess with him easily due to restrictions. Well to be precise this God has existed for a while now he's somewhat similar to the sealed God."
'God of despair?'
Cale frowned. Although he said that he hated both the God of death and the sealed God equally the Sealed God did more damage to his family after all.
"The God is called Bai Six he's known as the God of evil."
"I promise you won't have to do this for no reason. If Bai Six continues the heretics from the worlds he views the most could go onto your world and Earth."
He hesitated. "And Bai Six seems to have less restrictions than the other Gods"
"I barely managed to seal the God of Despair. How do you expect me to seal a God with full power and this Bai Six has less restrictions."
Suddenly the dark room warped into a office as Cale was seated on a couch facing a handsome tall man with white hair.
After seeing Cale not react he began to speak. "This is for the safety of your family and the people in this world. You won't be alone Cale. There are also people in that world who are strong enough to go against that God."
The God of Death sighed. "Maybe the people there could have gotten rid of that God with a bit more time but we can't wait." His tone became sharper. "I'm unsure of what would happen during that time so I need your help Cale."
"If I help save this world by sealing the God my people in this world could continue being safe?" Cale asked his expression Neutral however he was being serious.
"Yes."
"Ah also do you wish to take anyone with you to that world? Although they'll have to pay a price or make a deal since my limit is currently you with my restrictions."
Cale didn't even think about it.
"No."
The God of Death raised an eyebrow. "No? Then you'll be alone in that world without any of your family."
"You already took half of Choi Hans lifespan so he could help me during the Sealed Gods test."
Cale then began to speak.
"I don't want them to do anything useless for me."
"..."
"I see." He tapped his knee lightly. "So you don't want them to know about this either?"
"I entrust that in return for helping you, you'll help with at least that." Cale spoke softly.
The God of Death nodded "Yes, however your sudden disappearance I wont be able to explain so." He hesitated. "Would you like to be unconscious in this world while you're in that other world? It will be like a corpse with a beating heart while you're in that other world your soul and form will go with you as well so this is the most I can do."
"..."
"Better than admitting that you're going to go to another world to seal a God no?"
'True.'
"Ah yes the information so where you will be transported is on another Earth in China so it won't be your language."
Suddenly he pulled out a item.
An earing with ticking time on it.
Cale recalled the artifact he was given before by the God of Death that counted down for him to make a decision on his birthday."
"Ahem. It isn't like the other item this is a time to tell you how much time has passed in this world while you're on the other Earth."
"It also serves as a translating device."
"I won't have to worry about communication and how my words will be heard by others?"
"Yes exactly. You will hear and speak Korean while they will understand you in their language."
'Pretty useful' Cale grabbed the earing he was holding out.
The God gave a fake cough. "Ahem so in that world when people fall into a huge amount of despair they'll enter this game." He spoke seriously. "It's a horror game basically for Bai six to collect more of the people's pain. You can actually die in those games and you have to join one game every seven days or you'll die in the real world." He added on. "And people have abilities in that game based off of their attributes."
"So your ancient powers will be known as Abilities there."
"The main people who can go against that God is a guild called the Wandering Circus. And the leaders best friend. Thats about it, do you want to see off your family first?"
"Yes."

He woke up to find three kids jumping on him with joy as Cale recoiled back startled.
"Weak human!!! You can't even handle us coming to greet you!"
"Nyah"
The two cat children also nodded in agreement as Cale slowly rubbed his head.
Looking around Cale asked "Where are the rest?"
"They're probably all eating dinner right now" The grey cat replied happily.
"Alright On, Hong, and Raon I'll be there in a moment go eat."
The three children nodded as they ran out of the room.
As Cale got up he truly did realize how weak his body was it even tired him to get up from the bed.
He slowly walked towards the dining table in the Henituse estate where only Ron, Beacrox, the Henituse family, and Choi han were waiting possibly for Cale.
"Ah young master Cale I wasn't aware you were awake shall I prepare your lemon tea?"
Cale subconsciously shivered.
With no response from Cale Ron just began to make tea.
He quickly got over the shivers and sat down with his family. As the three children sat on chairs next to Cale.
"Good morning father and mother" Just as Lilly also came up to Cale he smiled and rubbed Lilly's head.
The Duke and Duchess both smiled back happily. "Good morning Cale I'm glad you're finally resting." Deputy looks happy to see Cale rest as Violan nodded along approvingly sipping her tea. As Basen also nodded. "Yes brother take care of yourself."
"I agree" Lilly added on.
'..Really'
Cale couldn't help but chuckle a bit as Lilly sat back down
He also turned to look at the black eyes staring at him. "Good morning Choi Han."
Choi Han seemed to relax as he said back. "Good morning Cale" smiling a bit.
"Get ready we're gonna go out after breakfast." Cale said calmly as he ate the food Beacrox brought.
Everyone froze.
'...why's the mood suddenly so tense??'
Choi Han started frowning slightly and Cale could feel the glares from his family.
"Cale you just got to rest. You need to prioritize your health."
Everyone else nodded slowly.
"I'm just going to visit everyone else in the Villa though?"
Choi Hans tense shoulders started to loosen as he breathed a sigh of relief. As the mood also got lighter.
"I suppose if you're just going to visit everyone else it's fine."
'Yes.. No need to be so dramatic' Eventually after breakfast he had to take that bitter tea as he gave everyone else a farewell.
"Ill be in the Villa for a few days."
"Alright."
"Take care of yourself."
"Goodbye Young master Cale."
Rain prepared to teleport everyone as they started to slowly disappear.
As they all appeared in the Villa Rosalyn was the first to greet him. "It's nice to see you Cale but why are you visiting?"
"Ah just to see you all."
Eruhaben standing in the far back hearing this raised an eyebrow but Rosalyn just nodded slightly confused.
"Human can we go see mommy!" Raon said excitedly in Cales arms as Cale slowly nodded the other 2 cats seemed happy as they started to head to the Black castle.
***
Eventually after seeing everyone Cale was about to teleport as Eruhaben the Gold dragon grabbed Cales shoulders softly. "Why does it seem like you're seeing everyone off before you leave for something?"
'Ah?'
"I'm just greeting everyone Eruhaben-nim."
Eruhaben frowned as he let go saying "Unlucky bastard."
Then they teleported to the next destination as Raon came back.
The Roan castle.
As Choi Han started to open the window a Alberu sitting calmly in pajamas with tea in his hands as if expecting them.
"The window again? Do you guys ever use a door?" He scoffed.
However Cale just ignored his words as he sat in front of Alberu Choi Han and Raon following along as the plate of cookies in front of Alberu disappear.
"So what happened?"
"Nothing your highness."
"What?"
'What?'
Cale just smiled as he layed back comfortably.
"Humans!" The words came out a bit muffled as the dragon tried talking with his mouth stuffed with cookies. "Putting that scammers smile again!"
Choi Han just silently facepalmed in the corner next to Raon.
Ignoring this Cale said. "I'm just here to greet you, your highness."
"Crazy bastard as if I'll be live that you never come for no reason. What is it?"
"Really nothing."
"Huh?"
Eventually Cale left leaving a dumbfounded Alberu behind Choi Han and Raon also seemed curious why Cale was greeting everyone when he could just call them over.

Back at the Henituse Estate Cale plopped down on the bed after a long day it was now night.
Closing his eyes he thought.
'I guess this is when I'll be transported.'
