### **Year 781 of the Felix Calendar [3]**

**Before March 28:** Choi Han escapes from the Forest of Darkness and finds himself in Harris Village where he is cared for by the villagers. He is taught to read from the Village Chief [10].

**On or around March 28:** Choi Han goes deep into the Forest of Darkness to find medicinal herbs to heal the person who treated him like her own son [3].

**March 28:** All the villagers of Harris Village are murdered by Arm assassins [3]. Choi Han goes berserk and kills all of the assassins. He falls into a state of despair from being unable to gather any information, buries the dead, and makes a vow to kill Arm to avenge the villagers. His mind becomes twisted.

**March 30:** Choi Han arrives in the morning by the Northern Gate of Western City (later retconned to Rain City) of Henituse territory after running a week’s worth of distance for a whole day [3, 5]. Choi Han hopes to prepare a small funeral for the villagers. Choi Han is not allowed in, lacking proper identification, and waits until night to jump over the city wall. Choi Han twists his ankle from avoiding to land on On [6]. Cale drinks, causes a ruckus, and gets stabbed and scarred on his side by a broken table leg [6].

**March 31:** Billos gets a message from his family to ‘watch the house’ [9]. Cale meets Choi Han [6]. (Cale or Basen) is told by Deruth that he will go to the capital to visit the crown [9].

**Some Time Between March 31 and April 4:** Choi Han stops by Billos’s tea shop to rest [12].

**April 4:** Cale is beaten to a pulp by Choi Han and carried into the Count’s estate on a rainy day [9, 14].

**Some Time Between April 4 and April 9:** Beacrox realizes Choi Han’s strength from Cale’s wounds and swears his loyalty [3, 7]. Ron makes a deal with Choi Han to help him, and chooses to leave with Choi Han and Beacrox for the sake of his son [3]. Ron and Beacrox both leave without saying anything to Count Deruth and travel with Choi Han to the capital [34].

**April 5:** Basen leaves for the capital [9].

**April 9:** Raon Miru causes a mana explosion with his own life force, removing the chains restricting his mana. After escaping, Raon loses his rationality, goes berserk, blows up a mountain, and kills a lot of villagers. Choi Han happens to be staying in the village at the time and ends up killing Raon [10, 15]. Choi Han may have literally encountered Venion Stan sometime around this incident [10].

**Some Time Between April 9 and The Plaza Terror Incident:** Rosalyn, wishing to go to the Magic Tower in Whipper Kingdom, enters the Roan Kingdom. As she is entering, someone tries to assassinate her [32]. Rosalyn survives the assassination attempt and heads for the capital to get information about her attackers [32]. Choi Han arrives in the city Rosalyn is in and joins a merchant group of five people heading for the capital, and becomes a mercenary for them with Rosalyn [32]. Rosalyn and Choi Han do not become close until they meet Lock [32]. One of the merchants Choi Han guards is Odeus Flynn, a ruler of the Northwest and Central underworlds who later connects Billos and Choi Han to each other [41].

Choi Han, Rosalyn, and the merchants arrive at the village where the merchants were supposed to trade with the Blue Wolf Tribe [32]. No one shows up and so the merchant asks Choi Han and Rosalyn to go to the **Blue Wolf Village** with a Blue Wolf guard warrior. They arrive at the Blue Wolf Village to find the village destroyed, the Arm assassins leaving, and Lock, who is the only survivor of the massacre [29, 32]. In the fight against the escaping Arm assassins, Rosalyn learns of Choi Han’s strength and asks him to escort her back to Breck Kingdom for a huge sum [32].

Choi Han runs into Arm again before reaching the capital (the Plaza Terror Incident is his fourth contact with Arm) [29]. Throughout his journey with his companions, Choi Han begins to lose some of his despair and live ‘with a sword in his heart but a calm demeanor on the outside’ [14].

**The Plaza Terror Incident:** Arm causes a terror incident by setting off magic bombs throughout the capital and within the plaza on the day of a royal festival celebrating King Zed Crossman’s 50th birthday [9, 28]. The bombs are detonated next to the royal family and nobles [44]. Choi Han and Rosalyn block half of Arm’s plot, protecting civilians from five of the ten bombs and evacuating the civilians [9, 26]. Choi Han meets Redika, a leader of Arm [29]. Choi Han befriends Crown Prince Alberu Crossman and Alberu uses this incident to raise him up as a hero and beacon of hope [26].

**At some time in the capital,** Billos swears loyalty to Choi Han and reveals his ambition to become the leader of the Flynn Merchant Guild [12, 41].

**After the terror incident,** Arm begins to distribute Redika’s magic bomb to different territories in the Roan Kingdom [36]. These magic bombs are used by Arm multiple times in **Vol. 1 and 2** [52].

**Around May 9:** Taylor Stan, the eldest son of Marquis Stan’s family, finds the Vitality of the Heart [20]. Even with Cage’s help, it takes a whole week of struggling for Taylor to retrieve it [23].

**Around June 9:** Taylor Stan dies after Venion Stan sends Arm after Taylor [21]. Cage, who is the only one to survive Taylor’s assassination, kills half of the assassins in anger and ends up becoming excommunicated by the temple for committing murder [21]. Despite this, she is not abandoned by the God of Death and continues to use the strength of the God of Death for curses.

Marquis Stan continues to get in the way of the Alberu and Choi Han until he is ruined around **Vol. 2** [10]. Odeus Flynn reveals Venion’s identity in the underworld to prevent him from taking control of the underworld, destroying the reputation of Marquis Stan and his entire family [84]. In doing so, however, Odeus Flynn reveals himself and thus also ruins himself [84].

Rosalyn, Lock, and Choi Han head for the **Breck Kingdom** where they confront the Grand Duke who had attempted to assassinate Rosalyn. The Archduke is tortured by Beacrox [10]. Choi Han runs into Arm lightly in the Breck Kingdom [79]. Rosalyn renounces her claim to the throne and destroys one of Breck Kingdom’s palaces [65, 107].

Choi Han and Lock return to Roan Kingdom, passing through the Ten Finger Mountains [88]. They happen to find **the Elf Village** and Pendrick begins to travel with them [88].

Paseton finds out the source of the mermaids’ sudden increase in strength and is chased by them [57]. Paseton disappears and Witira searches the entire ocean for him [49, 53]. Paseton dies in the cave under the Cliff of Winds [52]. (In KRS!Cale Timeline, Toonka is said to have arrived much earlier than he should have and the novel implies that Toonka did not see Paseton’s corpse [49].)

**A civil war breaks out in the Whipper Kingdom** between the mages and the non-mages [39]. When Toonka’s ship gets attacked by mages, Toonka ends up landing on an island surrounded by whirlpools, receiving the Sound of the Wind after destroying a large boulder and top, and finding a puddle of Fire-Suppressing Water in a hidden cave under the Cliff of Winds [50, 53]. The whirlpools in Ubarr Territory disappear within a week [52]. Toonka uses the Fire-Suppressing Water to develop a body that cannot be burnt [78].

Later, Toonka reappears in the second half of the civil war and becomes known as the mage slayer Toonka the Tyrant, the strongest individual in the Western Continent [40, 49]. The Whipper Kingdom mages begin to develop more magic tools and better magic bombs to fight against the non-mages around **the second half of Vol. 3** [52]. The non-mage faction wins the civil war, kills all the mages they can find, destroys the Magic Tower, and tries to remove all traces of magic in the Whipper Kingdom [57]. Mueller dies [73]. Toonka takes control of the Whipper Kingdom royalty and rushes to fight against the Jungle and the Empire [70]. His partner Chief Harol tries to destroy all the mages in the world [73]. Despite the Whipper Kingdom’s goal to get rid of magic, Chief Harol and other leaders begins to use mages to do magic research after discovering the research documents in the basement of the Magic Tower [121].

Crown Prince Alberu takes in many mages fleeing from Whipper Kingdom [49]. Rosalyn, a highest tier mage by that time, creates and leads a new Magic Tower [40, 49].

Imperial Prince Adin of the Mogoru Empire and Elisneh uses alchemy fire to burn **Section 1 of the Jungle** [76, 77, 431]. Litana, the Queen of the Jungle, enters the Path of No Return in hope to find the legendary wish-granting dragon to ask for the fire in the Jungle to be extinguished [76]. After being stuck for two weeks, she starts a fire in the Oorim Forest, destroying the Path of No Return [76]. By **the end of Vol 4**, the five Forbidden Regions of the Western Continent ends up becoming four and Litana unifies the fifteen sections of the Jungle and partners with Toonka to take on the Mogoru Empire upon finding out the culprit [76, 77]. A month after Litana burns the Oorim Forest, Elisneh from the Molden Empire puts out the fire, finds hundreds of highest grade Magic Stones, and infiltrates the Jungle as a spy while pretending to be a shaman [78, 431, 446].

The Northern Kingdoms create an alliance to invade and conquer the fertile lands of the South [82]. The Alliance currently has a wyvern knight brigade and many ships to dominate both the sky and the sea [82].

(**May but probably has not happened:** Mary leaves the City of Death to see the outside world and also to find a way to recover her lost memories [101]. Alberu and other royals go to the Mogoru Empire to celebrate the 150 year anniversary of the Church of the Sun God and 500 year anniversary of the Alchemists’ Bell Tower which Imperial Prince Adin invites him to [98]. The Sun God Twins are framed for killing the pope and the hundreds of civilians in the plaza [105]. The Sun God Twins run to the Eastern Continent [128]. Marquis Gersey may have kept the Sun God Twins alive just to show them a world ruled by darkness [513].)

### **Year 782 of the Felix Calendar**

**In late spring**, the Fire of Destruction appears in the Ten Finger Mountains and melts half of the third peak within two weeks and then the entire peak [107, 109, 110]. Nobody could do anything about it until an Elf with a Fire Elemental earned the ancient power [110].

**One year after the Plaza Terror Incident in Roan Kingdom**, Healer Pendrick dies in battle [31]. Lock transforms into berserk mode for the first time [29].

(**May have happened:** Arm tries to steal the Elf Village’s World Tree branch and succeed [111].)

Arm has full control of the Eastern continent’s underworld [119]. Many Tigers are killed on the Eastern continent [118].

Arm’s First Battle Brigade moves to the Western continent in the **winter** [118].

(**Sometime in late Year 782 or early Year 783:**

The Whale Tribe and the mermaids appear at the Northeastern shores at the **end of Vol 4** [36]. There is war between the Whales and mermaids in the ocean between the Eastern and Western continents [36].

The Whale Tribe appears in **the beginning of Vol. 5** [33]. Around this Volume, Choi Han begins to develop into a person who wishes to be a leader to take care of both humans and non-humans and make his personal view of justice a reality [33].

Choi Han, Rosalyn, and Lock helps the Whales fight the mermaids [51]. Lock gets injured in a fight with a mermaid and Rosalyn discovers the cure to mermaid poison to heal Lock [53]. In exchange for his help, the Whales offer Choi Han the rights to the Northern sea route [58].

Also sometime in one of these two years, in **Vol. 5**, Toonka becomes a hero, but also begins to show signs of self-destruction [56]. He fails to become a real hero though because he throws away the weak while only protecting the chief warriors [70].)

### **Year 783 of the Felix Calendar**

**As soon as spring arrives** in Paerun Kingdom, Clopeh Sekka, Guardian Knight and Leader of the Northern Alliance, resolves to make the legendary Wyvern Knights Brigade a reality and heads south, starting a war against the southern kingdoms [174, 178].

**When the war breaks out,** Cage becomes famous for her curses and healing of the injured [21]. Cage becomes known as a soldier of justice on the battlefield while being called the crazy priestess [527].

**--Volume 5 and Cale’s knowledge ends here.--**

## **Cale’s Predictions:**

Choi Han would eventually find his uncle’s book, The Birth of a Hero [377]. Upon reading it, he would choose to fight the White Star without caring for his own life (either creating an ancient power like the Sword of Disasters or gathering both earth attribute ancient powers) [377, 384].

## **The Original Cale Henituse's Experience:**

### **Year 783-821 of the Felix Calendar**

 When Cale Henituse is around 20 years old, the White Star completely takes over the Eastern Continent and targets the Western Continent [657]. The White Star's first target is Puzzle City of the Roan Kingdom [657]. King Zed Crossman dies in battle against the White Star and crown prince Alberu begins fighting many battles against the White Star to recover the eastern areas [657]. Choi Han, Rosalyn, and Lock help Alberu in fighting [657].

 This war against the White Star lasts for twenty years [657].

 In the war, the Roan Kingdom protects the palace and western territories and continues to fight against the White Star while the White Star simultaneously invades and conquers the Whipper Kingdom, Breck Kingdom, and other areas [657]. The Roan Kingdom continues to recruit people as soldiers to fight against the White Star. Cale becomes a soldier to get revenge on the White Star who had destroyed his territory and family [657].

 For the Great Battle of the war, the strong individuals throughout the Eastern and Western continents gather together around Choi Han [657]. Alberu also rallies together survivors from other fallen kingdoms for the battle [657]. In the Great Battle that happens in Puzzle City, many people die and Cale overhears the White Star telling Choi Han that time is warped for him [657]. As Cale realizes that the White Star has a portion of his mother's ancient power, the White Star realizes that Cale is alive and attacks him [657].

 As Cale is about to die, the God of Death offers him a deal [656]. Cale demands for the details of his mother's death and for his family to be saved as the conditions for regressing and switching bodies with Kim Rok Soo [656, 657]. The God of Death accepts the condition [657]. Cale accepts the deal with the God of Death and returns to the moment he had met Choi Han, the starting point that could change the fate of the world, and then switches bodies with Kim Rok Soo of Earth 1 [656].
