Chapter Text
Kim Dokja slowly opened his eyes, staring at the stars above him with forest trees surrounding his blurred vision.
He slightly sits up from his lying position, with one hand holding his head.
Pain
Pain was all he felt in his head. It was pounding, making him have cold sweat drip from his forehead while panting.
He took a look around his area and all he saw were trees upon trees and the night sky glowing ever so brightly with the stars glinting and the moon shoring down.
‘Where am I….? What happened…? All I could remember was the subway and the room…’
Kim Dokja falls back onto the ground, exhausted. Feeling the need to sleep, but he can’t because he doesn’t know where the hell he is right now.
Besides, it’s dangerous to be outside alone in this dark forest.
‘I-I have to get out of here.. I have to go back to the hospital room. For everyone’s sake to live up their stories.’
Kim Dokja tries to activate his abilities, but nothing comes.
He started to feel panicked.
He tried again.
Nothing
He tried asking the Fourth Wall
Nothing
He tries to open the Star Stream
Nothing
Kim Dokja then gets up from his lying position, but of course when he gets up. He feels dizzy and very, very tired. Mentally and physically.
‘What’s happening..? Why can’t I activate my powers? Including the Fourth Wall? And the Star Stream?’
He then walks off, breathing heavily with each step. Trying his best to stay awake and hoping that soon someone, someone will help him or something that he could take shelter for awhile.
After a few steps, it felt like he'd been walking for hours on end. He ends up falling down onto the ground, harshly.
He feels pain take over his body after the fall, groaning in pain in the aftermath.
Suddenly, he feels like crying. Which normally doesn’t happen. Usually he is emotionally stable, but somehow he wasn’t.
Maybe it was because without the Fourth Wall, he can’t help, but feel that way.
Kim Dokja desperately picks himself up from the ground, but is quickly put down due to his body being weak.
He bangs his head onto the ground in annoyance.
He grits his teeth, cursing himself about how weak he is right now.
Just then, his eye catches a shadowy figure in front of him. He quickly glances up and see’s who this shadowy figure belongs to.
Kim Dokja 's eyes widened as he looked at the man who couldn’t believe how handsome yet beautiful he was.
He saw a beautiful man with pale skin and very beautiful crimson red hair that flowed nicely onto his shoulders. The man’s reddish brown eyes were like rhodolite stones that he would usually see whenever he passed by jewelry shops.
'What a charming man...'
“What’re you doing inside the Forest of Darkness?” The beautiful man said, stoically staring at Kim Dokja who appeared to be holding two cats.
One with silver fur and the other red fur. The cats meow at Kim Dokja as some sort of greeting to him.
Before the cats jump off from the beautiful man's arms. Walking towards Kim Dokja. Circling around him.
“…I don’t know..” Kim Dokja quietly answered back, looking down at the ground with his eyes tightly closed.
“I don’t know. I don’t know why I’m here. I don’t know what’s going on. I just… don’t know…” Kim Dokja kept his eyes shut, wondering when the beautiful man was going to speak.
But only silence filled the air, making Kim Dokja even more nervous than before. He doesn’t dare to look up to the man. He feels like if he does he’ll be disappointed.
As if he’ll leave him to die or not lend him a hand. He doesn’t want his hope to be shattered after just getting here-
Suddenly, he feels a hand, cupping his left cheek all while a thumb is caressing his cheek. He moves his gaze upwards, that it seemed like their distance between each other were much closer than before. He keeps staring at the beautiful man's reddish eyes in shock at the sudden treatment.
The beautiful man bent down, looking straight at Kim Dokja's eyes. He opens his mouth.
“You must’ve gone through a lot. You can rest now.”
Kim Dokja sends him a confused yet suspicious gaze at the beautiful man. But it was shortly cut off as the beautiful man sat down with knees up front, gently grabbing Kim Dokja’s head, forcing him to lay his head onto his lap.
The beautiful stares down at Kim Dokja with his still stoicism eyes. While with Kim Dokja, his eyes shook.
With eyes still shook, he took his time to look at the beautiful man's features. He looked at him for a very long time until he felt his hair being stroked back away from his forehead.
“Sleep. I promise you that you’ll be okay once you wake up.”
Da-Thump, Da-Thump
Kim Dokja couldn’t help, but feel flustered at this sudden treatment. He’s never had anyone do this to him before with handling him with such care and affection.
Kim Dokja suddenly felt his eyelids were getting heavier, slowly slipping out from his conscience. As he could slowly lose conscience.
He hears other voices.
“Human. What’re we going to do with him?”
“Nya~ should we go get Choi Han and the others to help out?”
“Hmm…. Yes. On and Hong, go get Choi Han and Ron here. Raon make a call to Cage, telling her to come here immediately. Have everyone come here. It’s an emergency. This seems like one of the gods' doings.”
“Okay Human!!”
“Nya! We’ll be back then!!”
Kim Dokja eyes finally closed only hearing the beautiful man's voice saying;
“God damnit…”
And darkness filled in
___ ___ ___
“Ahjussi!! You're finally up! Me and Lee Gilyoung are going to go on parole with Noona Jihye, so you can rest today!” The young Shin Yoosung said, happily smiling at him.
“Ahjussi, please stop dying for our sake. I don’t want to keep losing you over and over again..” Lee Gilyoung says with hints of sadness and anger in his voice. Frowning at him with a pouting face.
‘How cute…’
“Thank you, Dokja-ssi.”
“For what?”
“For always trusting me. Without your trust I don’t think I’d make it this far with you or with the others. You're truly an amazing person, Dokja-ssi” Yoo Sangah said, softly smiling at him.
‘No… you’re wrong. I’m not at all amazing… you're more amazing than me, Sangah-iss. You’ve always been even when the apocalypse happened.’
“I’ll be sure to be your shield in the future, Dokja! I’ll always have your back. I’ll always make sure nothing bad happens to you within my sight. So please, take care of yourself whenever you’re out of my sight, Dokja-ssi.” Lee Hyunsung said confidently, with one hand over his chest.
‘Always have my back…’
“Companions shouldn’t kill other companions to just survive.” Jung Heewon quietly said, looking at him with a sadden look.
‘You shouldn’t be making that face…’
“I swear, you and master always seem to disappear. You better be taking care of my master or else I’m just going to have to fight you if you don’t” Lee Jihye annoyedly grumbled.
‘I swear, this kid-‘
“I’m thankful that you stopped me at the station with the whole landlord situation. Without your help there even though I hated how you made it to be. Thank you.” Gong Pildu quietly said.
‘I was only just doing what I had to do..’
“Why are you making such a face? Are you sad that this bastard died?” Han Sooyoung said, frowning her eyebrows towards him with her sword pointed at the lifeless corpse.
‘I…’
“Tell me you fool. If I were to continue to regress, will I ever get to see you again?”
‘I-‘
“Kim Dokja-“
___ ___ ___
Kim Dokja jerks himself up, panting to himself with cold sweat running down his face. Clutching his chest, tears slowly welling up into his eyes.
He quickly wipes his tears away from his eyes. Trying to pull himself together. He pats down on the bed with his hand, noticing how soft it was.
‘What a soft bed. Very rare to have around where I’m fro-‘
But then he heard a soft meow.
He glances down quickly with eyes widened, becoming alert, but noticed that it was just those two cats he saw last nigh-
And he remembers what happened last night.
Kim Dokja covers his face with his hand, heat rising onto his face almost looking like a bright tomato.
The two cats meow in confusion on what Kim Dokja was doing. Before the two cats quietly leave the room, leaving Kim Dokja embarrassed.
Kim Dokja doesn’t notice the cats leaving, only concerned about what had happened last night.
He subconsciously let’s out his words.
“Get yourself together, Dokja…” he mumbled softly.
“Ah you’re finally awake I see.”
Kim Dokja turns his head towards the old man with a benign smile, who was holding a tray of food and water.
He feels chills down his spine, noting how this old man is quite scary.
‘What a scary old man…’
“Meow~” Kim Dokja looks down from his bed and sees the two cats who just now jumped onto his bed.
“You should keep eating now! Then rest after! You looked like you were still exhausted” the red one said, walking towards Kim Dokja’s left side of the bed.
“Nya~ that’s right. It’s good to be healthy before you go to meet our Cale” the silver one said, sitting down on the bed.
“……”
Kim Dokja was now speechless.
He was too shocked to even speak. He only continued to look at the cats in shock. Letting himself drawn into his thoughts.
‘Whatthefuck?!? These cats from fucking last night can talk?!? I thought I was hearing some other humans talking, but the whole time it was these two?!? That’s so awesome! But weird! Maybe I’m still dreaming. Yeah, seems logical. I should just ignore this-‘
“I apologize for these two children's sudden appearance. It seems like you’re not used to seeing two cats who can talk.” The old man said, putting down the tray of food next to Kim Dokja's side.
“A-Ah y-yes.. I’m just shocked at how this world works… thank you” Kim Dokja takes a glass of lemon tea from the tray, gulping it down. Before his face turns into a thin smile, almost looking like blood just splattered out of his mouth, he tries his best to keep his normal composure.
“Ah sorry. I usually give these lemon tea’s to our young master. Here.” He hands Kim Dokja a glass of water, which Kim Dokja takes a drink out of.
He drinks it all, putting the glass back to its tray. “Thank you…..”
“Ron Molan. It’s a pleasure to meet you…”
“Ah! Sorry. It’s Kim Dokja.”
“Kim Dokja…?” Ron said, slowly lingering his gaze off from Kim Dokja.
“Is something wrong with my name?” Kim Dokja tilts his head slightly in confusion towards Ron.
“Nono, it’s just I don’t hear any foreign names that often here.”
Kim Dokja nods in understanding Ron’s statement, but of course he doesn’t know that Ron was already familiar with foreign names since he already knows a certain bastard person with the same similarity to Kim Dokja’s name.
“Well, I’ll be taking my leave now. Please tell them anything you need. The young master will soon come up to meet you with some others, including myself. So please eat while you wait.” Ron smiled at Kim Dokja that only just sent Kim Dokja into a shriver from just that smile alone.
“Yes, thank you again Ron..” Kim Dokja avoids his eyes from trailing to Ron, not wanting him to stay any longer.
“Yes, you’re welcome. Please enjoy” Ron leaves the room, closing the door shut.
Kim Dokja brings the tray on top of his lap, looking at the food in front of him. Slightly drooling from the corner of his mouth, as he was about to dig in. He notices the cat’s stares at him which makes him kinda nervous.
“Is something wrong…?” Kim Dokja said, towards the two cats who were observing him.
“Nya~ nono. It’s just… Do you want us to feed you?” On said, smiling at Kim Dokja. Jumping down from the bed along with her brother, Hong.
“Eh? Why..?” Kim Dokja looks at them with a confused gaze.
“Nya! Because last night you looked like you were badly hurt! Including this morning you looked hurt. So please sir. Let us take care of you before we leave!” Hong said, brightly smiling. Hoping that he’ll say yes to their offer.
“….Well, I guess…. You can…” Kim Dokja murmured, looking away from the two kinda feeling embarrassed about what he just said.
On and Hong giggles at Kim Dokja’s reaction. The two shouted out an “okay!” As they transformed into their human forms which surprises Kim Dokja even more.
“You two can turn into your human form?” Kim Dokja excitedly asked.
“Yes~! We also have powers as well! I have the power of poison” Hong replied back to Kim Dokja’s question. Taking the spoon from his tray and scooping some food from his tray.
“For me I can manipulate fog. Me and Hong can combine our powers together to create a poisonous fog environment~ we also know some assassin combat as well.” On says, while she watches her brother scopes some food from the tray.
“That’s amazing…” Kim Dokja in amusement said to the two. Thinking to himself about the possibilities of the two powers.
‘ What strong kids. They could probably defeat Lee Gilyoung and Shin Yoosung-‘
Kim Dokja felt a tug on his heart. He frowns a bit, showing a sad expression.
The cats glance at each other, worriedly. They shifted their gaze to Kim Dokja who only looked sad and somewhat had no sparks of emotion in his eyes. Just deep sadness.
On frowns upon seeing this, taking a note to herself to be careful with their words.
Hong frowns as well, but quickly puts out a smile in determination
Kim Dokja feels a tap on his hand, he turns and looks at Hong with a questioning look. But was suddenly faced with a space in front of his face.
“Say Ah~! Let us feed you, Ahjussi!” Hong happily said, waiting for Kim Dokja to take a bite.
Kim Dokja swallows his saliva, nodding, then takes a bite from the spoon. Chewing down his food.
The two kids look at Kim Dokja, waiting for some sort of reaction or reply about the food. Hoping that he’ll like it since Beacrox made this.
The kids felt anxious after what seemed like hours flew by. Kim Dokja gives a thumbs up at the kids, nodding his head in approval.
The kids brighten up, turning to each other with smiles printed on their faces, giggling silently.
Kim Dokja looks at this and softly smiles at this. Lifting both hands and patting their heads, ruffling their hair a bit.
The kids look at Kim Dokja with a stunned expression, before replacing it with a smile.
Kim Dokja smiles back, altering his hands back to his sides as he lets both the kids take their turns on feeding him.
‘ These two really remind me of the kids.’
As they continued feeding Kim Dokja till the plate was finally empty. And after they were done feeding him the two kids talk to Kim Dokja about the adventures and people they’ve met including how this world works. Even though Kim Dokja still doesn’t know that much at all through the kids' explanation.
“Oh, so you guys almost killed a god…?”
“Nya~ yes! But our Father said we needed him around unfortunately.”
“Uh huh… and your father is a hero of this world?”
“Yes! He is. Everyone calls him the ‘Silver Shield Hero’ but he doesn’t like being called like that”
“Ahhh..” Kim Dokja takes this note as a reminder when he ever gets to meet him.
“Oh! What about your world? What is your world like?” Hong looks at Kim Dokja with sparkling eyes.
Kim Dokja slightly flinches at this, trying his best to not hug Hong due to his cuteness, he goes into depth of his world and what his companions and him were doing at the time.
“…well let’s just say in my world it went into an apocalyptic story.” Kim Dokja hears a gasp of excitement, he turns and sees Hong sparkling more than ever. For just a moment, he could swear he saw yellow flowers surrounding the young one.
“Really? You must tell us! We’d like to hear the stories that you did!” Hong excitedly said, before turning into his cat form. Jumping onto Kim Dokja’s lap, in a sitting position, looking at him with excited eyes.
“Hong. We should wait, maybe our youngest and the rest would want to hear his stories.” On already in cat form, jumps on the bed. Sitting besides Hong.
“Mhm. Of course noona! You’re right.”
Kim Dokja looks at the two cats while they communicate with each other. While observing them, he can’t help, but feel an unknown warm feeling inside his chest after seeing Hong wanting to listen to his story and On telling Hong about others wanting to hear it as well.
He subconsciously gives out a small smile, thinking to himself that it wasn’t so bad. He pets Hong, which Hong happily lets Kim Dokja do so, purring silently.
On sees this and smiles at the interaction between Kim Dokja and her brother.
Just then a door creaks open. The three turn their heads and see a very handsome man who had long golden hair, golden eyes, and had elf ears.
‘Does this world have favoritism towards handsome/beautiful people?’
Before Kim Dokja could open his mouth, the cats spoke up first.
“Eruhaben-nim~!”
The man named Eurhaben greets the two kids while Kim Dokja continues to observe this interaction.
‘On said that there were dragons and other many creatures here in this world.. he must be an elf species then.’
Eurhaben looks at Kim Dokja. “Hello, my name is Eurhaben. I heard from the young master of this household that you're not from here?”
Kim Dokja nods his head, praising Eurhaben's voice and how this man can just slap Yoo Jonghyuk as many times as he wants because obviously he is more handsome than him.
“Yes.. that’s correct. But before we go on speaking furthermore. Can I speak with the young master of this household? I… have to thank him for helping me out.” Kim Dokja, avoids Eurhaben and the kids stares sending towards him due to his face slightly heating up a bit.
Eurhaben observes him for quite a bit. He closed his eyes, thinking to himself before opening them.
“Of course. It’s one of the reasons why I’m here.”
“Eh?.. what-“
“I'm here to escort you to go to the King’s palace where the young master is right now.” Eurhaben answered back, with arms crossed. Waiting for Kim Dokja to get up or agree to go with him.
Kim Dokja's eyes widened at the hearing of the ‘Kings Palace’.
‘Kings Palace… the kids said that after they finished the war. One the crown princes became the King of an empire. Damn I should’ve asked them what all their names were.’
Kim Dokja holds back his sight, as he gets up from the bed already missing the warmth. He walks towards Eurhaben, nodding his head.
“Okay, we can go now.” The cats meow happily, circling around Kim Dokja and Eurhaben gives an amusing smile.
Kim Dokja opens his arms as the cats jump into his arms. He holds them tightly as if they're going to leave him forever. He continues to look at Eurhaben, waiting for something to happen.
“Okay then, this will only take a second.”
“What-“
Suddenly they were teleported inside an office which by guessing, their inside true palace.
After taking a look around the office, he turns his head to three unknown people in front of him.
One person had bright blonde hair with bright ocean blue eyes that honestly he looked like he came out straight from a fairytale. He wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up being the male lead in the story who was coincidentally enough would be a prince that saves their heroine.
‘How cliche..’
His eyes then trail towards a man who had the same hair color as him and features as well and he could tell that he was Korean. Just like him. Maybe he’s someone who he could trust.
But that soon fell down due to his dangerous aura around him as the man was standing behind the red-
‘ It’s him…’
Kim Dokja intensely stares at the beautiful man, easily recognizing him again from last night's events.
The cats in his arms, jumped off from his arms and headed towards the beautiful man. Meowing happily. Kim Dokja didn’t mind the cats leaving him.
At this moment he only cared about what’s going on right now.
After the stare down between all of them. A cough was heard. Everyone in the room turned to look at the blonde man.
“Okay well then. Eurhaben-nim thank you for teleporting him here. You can go now. We’ll take care of this” the blonde man said, fake smiling at him with his chin laying on top of both of his hands.
Eurhaben becomes hesitant and looks at the redhead who only gave him a short nod. He clicks his tongue at this matter.
Kim Dokja hears him click his tongue and only gets even more anxious about being around this man and with these people.
Eurhaben heavily sighs. “Of course. I’ll be going then.” He disappears in an instant.
Silence emerges around the room making Kim Dokja feel awkward. Before someone speaks out.
“Um, excuse me. Are you perhaps from Korea…?” The black haired man said. To Kim Dokja he looked at him closely and saw how his expressions were. To him it looked like he was homesick? And desperate? Strange. If he was transported here in this world shouldn’t he have found a way back already?
“Before I can answer your question. May I ask for your names? It’s rather weird to keep talking to each other while we don’t know each other’s names at all.” Kim Dokja confidently said back. He sees the black haired man flinch and avoids Kim Dokja gaze, feeling embarrassed. Before he looks at Kim Dokja.
“My name is Choi Han. I’m sorry… for asking so abruptly earlier.” Choi Han says, with a sad look towards Kim Dokja, that only Kim Dokja now feels guilty with that look as if he kicked a stray puppy.
But that feeling disappears as someone else raises their voice. Catching Kim Dokja’s attention.
“As for me my name is Alberu Crossman. I’m the crown prince- I mean now king of Roan Empire. Excuse my wording there in the middle. Sometimes I forget I’m the King now” Alberu chuckles, still showing his ever so fake smile.
‘Ahhhh as expected he is like those cliche fairytale stories.’ Kim Dokja nods to himself, praising himself that he got that right. But then someone else speaks out and the voice is very familiar.
“Cale Henituse.” The beautiful man said, still looking at Kim Dokja with his ever so stoic face that it makes Kim Dokja feel goosebumps.
“It’s Cale Henituse. And yours?” Cale asked with crossed arms, tilting his head to side in curiosity almost acting like a cat. Kim Dokja kinda finds that cute-
‘ Okayokayokayokay. That’s it, let's just calm down. We just met the guy.’
“My name is Kim Dokja. As what Choi Han had said before. I am from Korea, but I somehow ended up here…”
A quiet gasp came from Choi Han who was now covering his mouth with both of his hands which Cale just sighs.
“Ahh, I see. Well, I’m sorry to hear that Kim Dokja-ssi, but don’t worry we’re here to help you out.”
Kim Dokja brightens up after hearing that he takes a step forward. “R-Really? How?” Kim Dokja eagerly responded back.
“Well, we don’t know how to yet. But we have an idea why.” Alberu leans back into his chair.
“What?” Kim Dokja narrows his eyes at Alberu. Cale catches this and gets up from his seat, walking towards Kim Dokja. Putting his hand on his shoulder, looking up at him.
Kim Dokja flinches at this sudden contact and looks at Cale, questioning him with his eyes.
“You should sit down. Wouldn’t want your feet to hurt right?” Cale gives him a small smile. Kim Dokja slowly nods at his reasoning even though he doesn’t know why he decided to walk up to him in the first place. But don't think too much into it, only thinking about how much Cale is worried about him which was strange and an unfamiliar feeling rises up his chest.
Alberu heavily sighs upon watching this interaction that was happening in front of him and already getting a headache. From thinking all the possibilities that were going to happen down the line with having this new addition in the mix when there were already others who became attached to Cale. Including himself, but he’ll never admit it. The truth can just go to hell
Choi Han watches this happening in front of him, but he carefully watches Cale and Kim Dokja interaction.
“Great. Let’s go sit down now.” Cale slowly lowers his hand off from Kim Dokja’s shoulder, heading back to his previous spot.
Kim Dokja squints his eyes at Cale, before finally making the decision as he takes a seat next to Cale.
Everyone in the room stares at him.
Kim Dokja ignores their stares while closing his eyes, arms crossed and legs crossed. Cale or anyone said where to sit anyways.
Alberu coughs, as everyone in the room turns to look at him. “Ahem. Well then let’s get into business now.” Alberu smiles.
“As expected from the shining sun of Roan Empire. Where would we be without any of your-“
“Cale. Enough.” Alberu smiles at Cale with an intense aura coming from him already feeling annoyed.
Choi Han and Kim Dokja look between the two already feeling troubled when nothing hasn’t even started.
“Anyways, well when you passed out, Kim Dokja. We discovered that one of the gods of our world called the God of Death was the one who sent you here. But, unfortunately we don’t know how to get you back to your world when we tried to ask more in depth in the questioning the God of Death told us that he was threatening to send you here in our world.”
‘ Threaten? Who would threaten a god? You’d be lucky to not be killed when we did have gods in my world at the time…’
Kim Dokja was in deep thought, with his finger on his lips and a serious face. Alberu, Cale and Choi Han notice this. Choi Han opens his mouth.
“But don’t worry. We’ll do our best to take you back to your world. I’m sure you have family and friends waiting for your return. They must be worried.” Kim Dokja flinches at Choi Han words, he slowly turns around giving him a smile. But really that smile was hidden in pain.
“Thank you, Choi Han.” Choi Han gives Kim Dokja a bright smile back to him with an imaginary tail wagging that everyone could picture on him.
“Well, since you’ll be here for a while. You might as well rest some more or at least explore our world if you like” Alberu says. Kim Dokja nods agreeing to Alberu’s word of advice.
“Yea that does sound good…”
Alberu smiles, “Alright. Then I’ll ask one of the servants to prepare your clothes. Kim Dokja takes a look at his clothes and Alberu's, Choi Han’s, and Cale’s clothes.
Major big different there. Kim Dokja nods, thanking Alberu. As Alberu gets up from his seat to go outside his door to ask one of the guards to bring a servant to his office with some clothes.
Cale takes a look at Kim Dokja who was only watching Alberu talk to one of the guards from the outside.
“You know..” Cale says, Kim Dokja turns his head to look at him.
Cale opens his mouth once again. “You can ask me or Choi Han or the kids if you want anything from us. We’ll give it to you. We’ll even help you explore our world together. If you don’t mind that at all, Dokja-ssi”
Kim Dokja and Choi Han look at Cale with a surprise pikachu face. Until they hear delighted meows from the two cats.
“Nya! That sounds like fun!” Hong happily responded, jumping onto Kim Dokja’s lap as Kim Dokja only looked down at Hong’s excited gaze. Before petting Hong’s head which causes Kim Dokja to smile.
“Nya~ we should bring our youngest as well~” On replied. Kim Dokja looks at On with his head tilting to the side. Before finally realizing that he just remembered that the two cats had a younger sibling that they were talking about before they came here.
“Ah your youngest? If you don’t mind me asking. Where exactly is your youngest? Is he in kitten form?” Kim Dokja awkwardly smiles, as the two cats giggle at Kim Dokja's question which confuses Kim Dokja even more.
Choi Han chuckles to himself. Kim Dokja looks at Choi Han wondering why he’s also chuckling. Then he hears another chuckle coming from Cale.
Is this youngest not a kitten????
Cale looks at Kim Dokja with a grin. And oh boy, Kim Dokja doesn’t know why, but Cale’s grin looked dangerous.
Choi Han leans into Kim Dokja's ear, whispering to him. “Let’s just say he isn’t a kitten. More like a powerful creature?” Kim Dokja lifts his eyebrows up at this information.
“So like a monkey? Or some sort of animal?” Kim Dokja says, thinking that he’s like Sun Wukong, but to only have the people around the room snickering. Trying their best to hold in their laughter.
“I am not a monkey or an animal!!” A mysterious voice echoed, making Kim Dokja feel frightened by this as if God was speaking angrily at him from who knows where really. Cale shakes his head, smiling at Kim Dokja.
“Raon, you can come out now.” Cale says taking a cup from the table and taking a sip from it.
A black dragon with deep blue eyes then appears in front of Kim Dokja. Leaving him stunned at the appearance of a dragon. A DRAGON-
“My name is Raon Miru! I am 8 years old. I am the great and mighty dragon there is in the whole universe! And I am not some cheap monkey or any animal there is!” Raon huffs, turning his face away from Kim Dokja.
“You better remember my name, other human!” Raon says in confidence. Kim Dokja claps his hands together with eyes shut and the rest are looking at him weirdly by his sudden actions.
‘ Oh, heavenly father of this world. Please, please don’t let me die here. It seems like I’ve created an unfortunate sin in front of a Dragon. Please forgive me for my actions and words. Please let me live. I’ve haven’t even been here for that long and to see my life just end here is pitiful. Just pitiful. Please forgive me to any god out there or any dragon. Thank you for hearing my words. In the name of the father and son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.’ Kim Dokja's hand movements go up and down from forehead to chest and to both sides of his shoulders. Giving a peak on his side knuckles, lifting it in the air.
‘ Ah he’s praying. Was he that shocked to see a dragon? It’s understandable since it’s a one and a lifetime to meet such a mighty creature. It’s great to know that he’s giving Raon his respect! As expected from Koreans like me.’ Choi Han thinks, smiling to himself.
‘ Kim Dokja-ssi looks very excited about seeing our youngest! Since he’s still smiling!’ Hong meows at Kim Dokja like he’s thanking him for doing so.
‘Dokja-ssi must be that excited to meet Raon… maybe he’s hoping to be friends with Raon. Yes. I’ll make sure they get along with each other. Raon is much more comfortable to be around than with the dragon that he met in his world named The Abyss Black Flame Dragon.’ Cale nods to himself, taking a moment to appreciate where he is instead of being in Kim Dokja’s world. Sounded like a pain in the ass to be in his world.
‘What the fuck are these guys doing?’ Alberu thinks to himself, watching this happening in front of him as he has clothes in hands, standing still.
On sighs, putting her paw on her face. Facepalming to herself in this situation.
Kim Dokja looks straight at Raon, emptily smiling at him, “I am so grateful to be in front of a powerful, mighty, and great. Might I say great again to a dragon. My name is Kim Dokja, Raon Miru!”
Alberu looks at Kim Dokja with a ‘ wtf are you doing ’ Raon gleams at Kim Dokja sentencing and flies around him.
“I am powerful, mighty, and great!! Thank you, other human! You are worthy to be with me!” Raon continues to fly around Kim Dokja, chanting about himself. Hong meows along with Raon chanting.
Kim Dokja can feel himself slowly disappear into creaks of dust, ashes maybe. Thinking about how much he’d like to just go home or at least to sleep because maybe, just maybe this was all just a dream.
Kim Dokja just knows that he’ll never come to like this place or have any plans to stay here any longer than it needs to be.
But, of course that all changes along the way without him even knowing that he actually wants to stay here.
