Fake World Tree

The ***Fake World Tree*** is situated in the Molden Kingdom, in the underground maze beneath the palace of Queen Elisneh. Amidst a beautiful flower garden, the Fake World Tree was *"pretty big even when compared to the real World Tree that had no leaves"* with a black body and large branches that were *"bumpy and looked oddly disgusting."* Cale remarks that it appears as if it had come straight out of a horror story about a haunted tree.  It contains dead mana and is capable of secreting it out of its branches.

The Fake World Tree is sentient and capable of emotion, movement and speech *(although telepathic)* as seen when its branches started shaking, gathering together and curling away from Cale, who had frightened it. Its voice is timid and shaky, and appears somewhat surprised yet glad that Cale was managed to hear them. Upon realizing it can be heard, the black tree cries and pleads for Cale to save them, to take them away and plant them somewhere else so that they could escape, also mentioning that it wished to meet the World Tree-nim.

The small black staff that Elisneh carries as her medium was made from the branch of the FWT, and it is because of that staff that Elisneh can control the FWT against its will.
When Cale was hit by Elisneh's illusion, the tree managed to keep him safe in a cage made of its own branches with what small will it had left, and did its best to pull away from piercing Cale's neck when commanded to—this was possible because the Fire of Destruction had burned it and purified a portion of its dead mana in the process. That was enough to give the fake World Tree a little bit of freedom.

Cale ends up using *Embrace*on the tree, storing it inside the commander badge which was next to the *Henituse Duchy Badge* of his uniform. So far, it hasn't been taken out yet. (chapter 507)

## Trivia

* While Cale was thinking of saving the tree, his allies thought the opposite, thinking that he wanted to burn it down.
* The Elves consider the tree as evil since it is capable of destroying their home.
* The tree... whines a lot. It can sniff while crying, even though it has no nose. It confuses Cale briefly.

Elisneh

**Elisneh**, the Monarch of the Molden Kingdom who rose to the throne in her thirties, and the older sister of Princess Jopis. She's a skilled illusionist and it was originally planned that she would be the one to put out the fire Arm had set in the Jungle, and use that to help gain control of the Jungle as the first plan to conquer the Western Continent; however, that plan was foiled by Cale who put out the fire first.

She was partly the reason as to why the Molden Kingdom was able to grow so quickly. However, the road maintenance plan was actually created by her sister Jopis—*"In other words, the idea started from Jopis but the two sisters worked together to bring it to fruition… And Elisneh the First who had the authority to make it happen had given the order."*

When Jopis investigated her sister, she learned that Arm was Elisneh's source of money, along with being her faction.

## Personality

Elisneh is a person who has no issue controlling people and showing them despair.

She is a crafty person who easily tricked the entire Molden kingdom into thinking she is a benevolent monarch in order to hide her horrible deeds of hiding dead mana inside of the palace. Elisneh also proves to be sadistic and quite twisted, admitting that she'd rather see her younger sister—the only one to have seen through her act—*"live in sorrow without being able to do anything until (she goes) crazy,"* because death was too easy of a price to pay for hindering her.

## Abilities/Powers

* Able to control rats to do her bidding.
* As an Illusionist, she uses the power of nature through a medium. Her medium is a gold chain bracelet.
* Conjure up illusions by creating signs with red smoke and red chains.
* Martial Arts: Striking vital points

The Indestructible Shield

* Manhwa
* Before
* After

### Abilities

* Creates a silver shield with two wings that can protect it's owner from attacks. Can not be broken permanently.
* Control trees and through them can absorb dead mana

### Original Owner

Glutton Priestess(Priestess Cage (official name: Kage) is the reincarnation of The Glutton)

## Ancient Power

The first Ancient Power Cale obtained, it came from a blackened tree in the Henituse Territory that Cale fed a large amount of bread to. After obtaining it, a small silver shield was inscribed over Cale's heart.

The Indestructible Shield allows the owner to summon a silver shield with two wings on the side of it, whose size can be controlled and that can move a certain distance from the user. It's rather divine looking, like a Holy Shield.

Despite its name the Shield isn't actually unbreakable, however, it won't disappear after breaking and after a while will recover it's strength and can be used again. The strength of the shield comes from the owner's heart.

It can also be used to control trees and have them absorb dead mana.

It can devour other Ancient Powers, which it has done with Vitality of the Heart.

## Appearance

* Tattoo: Upon first obtaining the Indestructible shield, a silver shield then appears tattooed on the skin right above where Cale's heart is. After he obtains the Vitality of the Heart, however, the shield changes to accommodate a heart pattern on its surface.

And while the tattoo isn't shown in the manhwa (as of yet) the same changes can be seen present on the shield whenever Cale summons it out.

## Original Owner

The original owner was said to have been a priestess with shaman-like powers who served an ancient god over 10,000 years ago. It was rumored that she had starved to death and her grudge and turned her into the black tree.

In truth, the original owner was a girl from the Jungle, which back then was known as the Forest of Darkness because the trees were all black with dead mana. There was a group of black mages in that location, who also called themselves the Forest of Darkness, that were followers of a man who wished to become nature itself; the Glutton was one of the multiple people captured by them as priestess candidates. Eventually, though she was banished from there due to her gluttonous nature and set off with the original owners of Cale's other Ancient Powers to set the world back on track.

At some point, she died of starvation in the land that would one day be known as the Roan Kingdom, because she had been protecting the land by absorbing the dead mana that was poisoning it.

Priestess Cage (official name: Kage) is the reincarnation of the Glutton Priestess (Indestructible Shield).

However, when it comes to injuries such as bone fractures or significant blood loss, she can only use her healing ability per week since it is limited and the amount of healing power needed was different based on the type of injury. Futhermore, she had a strict limit for external injuries. This was the reason why Park Jin Tae wanted Grandma Kim to use her powers for healing his precious attack team members who could fight against monsters.

## History

Harol Kodiang

He is the Supreme Chief in charge of the entire non-mage faction of Whipper Kingdom and Toonka's loyal subordinate.

## Appearance

He had brown hair and brown eyes along with an extremely average face. He seemed so common and average, but it was so much so that it made him look unique.

Harol's physical appearance made him look like a good person.

## Abilities

He was born with both magic resistance and magic abilities which allows him to feel mana but he can't use it.

## History

The citizens of this kingdom were abused by the mages. The taxes were very high and people were used as test subjects by the mages. This led the people to rebel and destroy the mages and the mage tower. The leader of this rebellion is Toonka and Harol. They were helped by Cale Henituse.

Harol was neither a very strategic person nor a strong individual. He also did not have any unique abilities. He was a great scientist, but he was lacking compared to the other chiefs. However, he was one of the founding members of the non-mage faction. The mages had considered themselves above the regular citizens because of their magic abilities. Harol had been the one who had brought up the idea of saving the people from such tyranny. To them, he was a hero. People followed him because of how average he was. Toonka and Harol, this combination was the hope for the Whipper Kingdom’s citizens.

This was the former liege of the Magic Tower’s secret son, the one who was the child of a Whipper Kingdom’s citizen and a mage, the unfortunate person who could not use mana. He was the crazy bastard who was one of Toonka’s top advisors.

He is described as being famous for being average in appearance and ability, which made him an ideal figurehead for leading the rebellion along with Toonka. His wish is to rid the world of magic, especially magic that is used to oppress and take advantage of people.

Cale told Harol that he knew his secret when Cale was about to buy the Magic Tower and they had a conversation on the 20th floor of it. However, a whole year had gone by without Cale blackmailing him nor even asking for anything. He then came back to complete his end of the deal from last year.

Becrock

Becrock is a mage working for the White Star.

## Abilities

Becrock is a genius when it comes to magic circles or magic law and is the one who created a way of merging mana and dead mana together.

He was skilled enough to become the next Tower Master and he truly believed himself to be the only one who could do it. He believed himself to be the greatest mage in the world. However he was defeated by Rosalyn in the battle where she had shown her great abilities of handling large amounts of mana.

## Plot

He first appeared at the Castle of Light with the Cat Tribe and was said to be slightly stronger than a highest-grade mage. At that time he was stronger than Rosalyn and probably would be as strong as Mary if he was a necromancer. He also made Airships which were used to attack Jungle, Empire's Capital and during battle at North Alchemist Bell Tower.

## Trivia

Aasimar

Aasimar are said to be the descendants of the Host - the celestial beings that serve the supposed prime god, The One Above All - some aasimar also claim godly lineage from those who serve Balfix. This link to the Celestials offered hope and guidance to the downtrodden during the Cold Dark, when aasimar would travel from their homeland in Borialis outward, in pilgrimages to bring light to the darkened world. Therefore, though the remains of aasimar society muddle on in Borialis, aasimar children are occasionally born all throughout the world. Most civilizations see aasimar as a good omen, even if they don't remember the ancient race's aid in bringing on the Winterthaw and ending the Age of Frostveil.
Cage

**Cage** (*Official name: Kage*) is the priestess of the God of Death and Taylor Stan’s close friend. She eventually becomes an ally of Cale Henituse. She is favored by the God of Death much to her displeasure, and is often talk directly to by him. She is also a master of mental torture and specializes in curses.

## Abilities

Although she was not as sensitive as real mages, using divine powers allowed Cage to be pretty sensitive and perceptive toward her surroundings. She would be able to feel if there were any curses or negative energy surrounding an item or a place. She was, after all, a servant of the God of Death.

Her curses are said to be really scary. Some people even said her curses were at the level of a necromancer, the cursed profession.

## History

### Original Plot

In the novel *The Birth of a Hero*, she was excommunicated due to going on a rampage after her best friend, Taylor Stan's death.

### Current Plot

In the current world, she was excommunicated from the church following Taylor Stan's deal with Crown Prince Alberu.

The God of Death spoke to Cage from time to time. This had suddenly happened one day and would sporadically appear like this. Cage had hidden this fact from the church, and only Taylor and his three subordinates knew about it. Before the beginning of the current plot the God of Death usually spoke to her about once a year, but is started to happen more often before Taylor and Cage's arrival to the Puzzle City where they received a mail from Cale Henituse.

In the past the God of Death only came to Cage when she was sleeping. Sleep was similar to death. That was why sleep was a path of sorts for the God of Death. However, at the Puzzle City for the first time she had heard her lord while she was drinking.

## Trivia

* She finds the God of Death annoying and would always swear at him. She wanted him to stop paying attention to her.
* Cage likes to drink. She also carries shot glasses in the wide sleeves of her priestess outfit.
* Cage is good at acting.
* Cage rarely engaged with people other than people from the temple or her close friends.
* She was someone who frequently cursed the temple of the God of Death but was still loved by the lord.
* She was someone who had experienced death many more times than anybody else because she was a priestess of the God of Death, thus causing her to be very clear about the value of life.
* As a priestess she needed to act all nice and innocent, even though she found that to be very annoying. That was the number one reason she wanted to be excommunicated.
* The God of Death has asked Cage many times if she would like to become a Holy Maiden.
* She is revealed to be the reincarnation of the Glutton Priestess.

Blood-Drenched Rock

The ***Blood-drenched Rock*** is one of the Ancient White Star's powers that Cale has acquired and stored away using Lee Soo Hyuk's *"Embrace"* ability. The Ancient White Star used it to instill the fear of death onto others and dominate them. It also presumably has offensive capabilities as well.

## Ancient Power

This ancient power was originally what White Star was looking for, but it was first acquired by Cale.

When this is used, the opponent would feel as if its entire body is covered in blood and the user feels like it is letting out a stench of blood even though it isn't there. This essence is filled with fear, but it is not a regular fear. On the contrary, it is something deeper that reminds one of blood, it is the fear of death.

Super Rock called this ancient power the Blood-drenched Rock because it's the earth where the dead are buried and is a weapon that kills people and other living beings.

## History

This is one of the ancient powers of the original White Star, and this power is the reason why people were afraid of him. This ancient power makes people instinctively sense the fear of death and the original White Star used it to reign over the people.

The ancient power was located at a stone mountain filled with granite in the Stan March. It was in a form of a giant red snake that uses the voices of their most beloved ones to bewitch people and make them crazy for blood to cause more deaths. There was a bell on it's tail and inside the bell, there was small red rock. Cale Henituse used Embrace to seal the rock along with it's power into his Henituse Duchy badge on his commander uniform.

Star of Healing

An Ancient Power passed down to Crown Prince Alberu from his mother, it was a one-time-use type of power that could heal any type of injury.

In the novel of *The Birth of a Hero*, it was mentioned in passing following the terrorist attack in the capitol, when Alberu briefly considered using it to heal an old man who had been badly injured in the attack.

In the current world, Cale sent an anonymous letter to Taylor Stan informing him of its existence and that Alberu was looking to trade it for a way to keep the Second and Third Prince in check. As a result, Taylor was able to make a deal with Alberu to have his legs healed. As a result the Ancient Power is no longer usable.

* Golden Turtle Ship
* Absorbing Necklace
* Spacial Storage Bag
* White Crown
* Highest Grade Mana Stones
* Communicator
* Top's Whip
* Henituse Family and Commander Badge *(Contains Blood-Drenched Rock ancient power and Fake World Tree, thanks to the Embrace ability)*

Basen Henituse

* Manhwa
* Concept art

**Basen Henituse** is the youngest step-brother of Cale. At the start of the story it was expected by everyone, including Cale, that he would be the successor to Count Deruth.

Over the course of the story he grows to respect and idolize his older step-brother, to the point of working hard to be fulfill the role of being a competent administrative advisor to Cale when he inherits the Henituse territory. All of this is unbeknownst to Cale, who still is under the impression that Basen will succeed after Deruth.

At the start of the story Basen is 15 years old.

He is 17 years old after the timeskip.

## Personality

Basen is very intelligent and studious. He originally found his older step-brother Cale to be difficult, but his relationship was neither friendly nor antagonistic towards the original Cale. When he was just 13 years old, he began to assume the official duties and responsibilities as the heir to the Henituse household, since the original Cale was so badly behaved at that time. He didn't readily show his emotions and rarely made eye contact when speaking to other people.

His personality and relationship towards Cale changes after Kim Rok Soo affects the course of the original novel and earns his respect.

## Appearance

Like the rest of his family, aside from Cale, Basen has brown hair.

Basen heavily resembles his mother, Countess Violan: “She looked so similar to her son, Basen. Even the way they both did not make eye contact with Cale and had a stoic expression was the same.”

## Abilities

Basen is unusually intelligent and studious for someone of his age, making him something of a model son in comparison to Cale.

## **Trivia**

* While it was mentioned early on in the novel that Basen is the blood-related sibling to Cale, it is very later on clarified that this is *not true*, since it is "unknown whose blood flows through Basen's body" (alluding to his real father). He is in reality Cale's step-brother (unlike Lily who is their blood-related half-sibling).

## Quotes

* "I will not do anything that will trouble you." (Basen to Cale)
* "Yes. I want to live working for our family and the territory until I die." (Basen to Cale)
* "…Hyung-nim, why are you trying to do all of the difficult and strenuous tasks?" (Basen to Cale)
* "Then hyung-nim, are you doing what you want to do right now?" (Basen to Cale on Chapter 434)
* "There were no reasons for it to change, don’t you agree?" (Basen to Cale)
* "It is only one mountain and not five mountains of gold, it’s not very expensive." (Basen to Cale)

Dorph

The Lion King **Dorph**. One of the White Star's two strongest subordinates.

## Appearance

The middle-aged lion appears to look feeble at the first glance. His wild hair shot out like a lion’s mane. His scarred body that does not seem to have any muscles gives an impression that he is weak.

## Background

Dorph was treated as a mutant by the Lion Tribe when he was young. A human wearing a robe appeared to their tribe and was radiating a red light that shone like the sunset before it slowly turned into the color of blood, that human taught Dorph how to hunt the Darkness Elementals.

## Personality

In the North Alchemist's Tower battle against Hannah, Dorph claims to want a fair and square fight. He even beat up his soldier to pulp when he tries to attack Hannah from the sidelines. This shows that even a villain like Dorph has a principle he adheres to.

Dorph is also someone who loves to fight strong people to the point of madness, as shown when he would have a crazed look in his eyes when he fights people. He also gets excited when he gets to fight with Choi Han in the battle. This trait of his is also shared with Hannah.

## Powers/Abilities

* **Wall of Darkness/Black Wall**: The source of Dorph's Darkness Elemental ability. Anyone without the darkness attribute will become weaker underneath this black wall. Dorph's presence will be invisible once he is under the wall. The wall has no use against the Dark Elves, Necromancers, Black Mages, and Wind Attribute Ancient Power.
* **Black Spear/Arrow**: An attack conceived by grabbing the *black presence* around the user. The black presence will shrouded the user once they activate the Darkness Elemental power.

## Trivia

* Dorph gained his Darkness Elemental ability by literally consuming the darkness elemental.
* He doesn't like it when someone interrupts in his fight.
* Dorph’s body is weak compared to the other Lions.

Ten Finger Mountains

At the border of the West and Southwest region of Roan Kingdom there were ten granite peaks next to each other. These granite peaks had a unique shape that looked like ten fingers.

There were not any human villages near there but there was a village of Elves who passionately loved nature and almost worshiped dragons.

Shickler

Manhwa

The current King of the Whales, and the father of Witira and Paseton. His beast form is that of a Humpback Whale.

## Appearance

Shickler is the most handsome middle-aged man in the novel, to the extent that the original novel had taken four lines to describe Shickler's appearance. Shickler has an old, yet cool voice.

The Whale Tribe’s king and mediator of the ocean was someone with blue hair and blue eyes. Paseton and Shickler look a bit similar.

As the king of the ocean Shickler gave off a very strong pressure. He had a presence that could not be compared to the king of a kingdom that oversaw a small region of the Western continent.

## Personality

He has the regalness of a king, but when frazzled can lose it and turn into a neighborhood uncle.

## History

### Original Plot

Shickler planned to pass the throne to his daughter and go live in the human world with Paseton. He felt like Paseton would have been happy if they did that. But Paseton died from mermaid poison.

Shickler had a conversation with Lock about Paseton. < *“I had a son who was mixed-blood. That was why … he had a lot of difficulties. He was too weak to live in the ocean.” “Then does he live on land?” “No. That terrible son of mine left this world before me."* >

The last words the Whale King had said to Lock in the novel were < *“That is why I do not want to lose any more family member*s.” >

### Current Plot

Shickler met with Cale Henituse and his group on their way to the Whipper Kingdom to thank him for saving Paseton, and give him a package containing three things, one of which was the bottle of Dead Dragon's Mana that the mermaid's poison had been removed from. He questioned why Cale wanted the dead mana, as no one without the darkness element could use it, but did not receive an answer.

Hais Islands

The Hais Islands were a group of 15 islands located off the coast of the Roan Kingdom's Ubarr territory, between the Western and Eastern Continent, that have since become a group of 14 islands. Their names are ordered by the sequence that they are discovered, with the first being Hais Island 1 and the last Hais Island 15. Each of these islands are about 2 to 3 hours from the next.

Hais Island 5, the largest island that was largest than the Black Swamp, was the closest to the Western Continent. It once was a mermaid's base as well as a base for Arm, who supported the mermaids. The island was destroyed by Raon's magic bombs under the order of Cale. This was done in a quest to assist the Whale Tribe and gain mermaid blood in order to heal Ron.

After the naval base was built, some of these islands were designated as part of the Henituse territory.
Ancient Power

Hidden powers that can be found and obtained by overcoming a challenge. Usually collecting more than one will result in a messy death, since the typical human body can't handle the stress of controlling multiple ancient powers at the same time.

It is called **Ancient Power** because it is originated from the Ancient Times. People of the ancient times were either granted with this power since birth like the previous owner of The Sound of the Wind and Fire of Destruction or they searched for it like the ancient White Star. After all, he did get his one of a kind Sky Attribute Power from the Demonic World. Some of them might have the talents to create their own powers like Nelan Barrow who made artifacts like White Crown and Sword of Disasters.

Ancient Powers of natural elements need to be balanced because the clashing of imbalanced elements in the body will lead them to explode. An individual needs to collect all five of the natural elements (Earth, Fire, Wind, Wood and Water) ancient powers to achieve the state of stability.

A large plate is necessary to contain them all.

Ancient powers were created in nature and have natural affinities that came directly from nature and not from humans. Human-generated ancient powers were weaker than the ones with natural affinities.

Ancient powers are powers that are embedded in a person's body and soul. They only became complete once they became fully absorbed by the soul. Ancient powers don't normally talk when they are inside the person's body but Cale's case was different. The wills of the ancient powers were still inside Cale's body and their voices will disappear when he try to gobbled up their existence, Cale's soul will have the full ownership of that ancient power and will become more stronger but he did not want that so he only has a portion of the ownership.

Ancient powers are impacted by the memories of a soul, and that is usually what determines the method of obtaining that power.

Once the person who possessed an ancient power dies, the power they have will reside in special items or location.

Directory

The Mercenaries Guild used its network to gather information in form of records that became a symbol for mercenaries. Those records are set in the Directory and were collected for hundreds of years, so mercenaries can recognize what is “best for business”, such as deciding which strong individual is best to avoid, in order to keep themselves alive. Directory can give records about birth, faces, names, abilities, powers, and even the most trivial information about strong individuals—and this is the reason why the world feared Mercenaries Guild, for owning such a directory of information that gave their owner large amount power and influence.

It is said that the records are close to 1,000 years old, an area filled with tens of thousands of books covered by spells as humidity, temperature, preservation, and security. Because of those records, Cale Henituse decided to read through them to find White Star’s weakness. The Mercenary King Bud Illis leaded the way to the Directory through a secret passage only a few knew about to avoid Arm’s suspicious eyes, and being noticed by Mercenaries Guild’s central headquarters.

It is presumed that Directory didn’t exist only as space to hold the records of strong individuals and Eastern continent’s history, but its true purpose could be helping first Mercenary King, White Star, to find ancient powers, that in normal circumstances are almost impossible to gain in ones’ lifespan. However, the easiest way to earn an ancient power is to kill the previous owner and pick up its power before it disappears, so Mercenaries Guild records may be an advantage.

To prevent White Star from gaining information about the new ancient power owners, Bud decided to blow up Directory area with Raon’s help. Of course, before that, Raon and Eruhaben moved all records to their spatial dimensions. Cale's group used this state of affair to their advantage to reveal the survival of Molan household, and to declare joining the war for power between Arm and Mercenaries Guild.

## Trivia

* Cale used one week to read 9,889 books stored in Directory area thanks to his ability, Record. With this he found 31 ancient powers users, where 29 was said to be dead.
* The Directory is located outside the Resting City underneath the original first Mercenaries Guild's branch.

Choi Han/Relationships

## Cale Henituse

Choi Han's benefactor and closest friend; it was Cale that reached out a hand to help Choi Han after the destruction of Harris Village, and gave him a purpose and a place. As a result Choi Han is incredibly loyal and protective of Cale, and considers him his home. It's only around Cale that Choi Han ever acts respectful.

After learning that Cale was originally from Korea as well, he grew even more attached to him.

Choi Han sees Cale as an important part of his life and can’t imagine a life without him .

## Alberu Crossman

While neither of them are as close with each other as they are with Cale, Choi Han and Alberu have a friendly relationship. Alberu named Choi Han as his swordsmanship teacher in order to protect him from the nobles, which while meant to be a meaningless title just for protection, is a duty that Choi Han takes very seriously. He sees Alberu as his student and fully intends to teach him, thought there has been little chance to so far.

The two of them both sympathize with each other over having to deal with Cale's antics.

## Raon Miru

Choi Han helped to rescue Raon from his captivity and showed great sympathy towards what had happened to him. He's always very kind and indulgent to the dragon.

## Rosalyn

In the original novel of Birth of a Hero, Rosalyn was one of Choi Han's companions. In the current worldline, they're still close and often team up—along with Lock—in order to destroy places.

## Lock

Choi Han considers Lock to be a younger brother.

## Ron Molan

Ron and Choi Han do not get along particularly well. Ron considers Choi Han to be a disrespectful punk, while Choi Han thinks Ron is dangerous. They're are capable of working together for Cale's sake however.

## Beacrox Molan

Similar to Ron and Choi Han, Beacrox and Choi Han don't get along very well, but they are capable of working together.

## Deruth Henituse

When Choi Han asked Cale for a favour, Cale redirects him to Hans. This is how Choi Han first meets Deruth, as after Hans realized the severity of Choi Han’s request, he was most likely taken to the Henituse patriarch. Choi Han lies to Hans and Deruth, telling them that he is only 17 years old, and during the massacre he was out gathering herbs which is how he avoided getting killed in an attempt to be as unthreatening as possible probably. His story stirs sympathy in both Deruth and Hans. Through Deruth’s power and men, Choi Han is able to get a funeral for his village and an investigation in order.

The Real Arm

A fake organization that Cale created to hide his identity. Originally it was unnamed, as Cale had simply created uniforms that were similar in appearance to Arm's in order to hide his identity and leave a false trail when rescuing Raon from Venion Stan. Later, after finding out the name of Arm, they began calling themselves The Real Arm as a taunt.

## Uniforms

The uniforms they wear look like a shabby version of Arm's, at first this was just because Cale had done most of the work on them himself, but they later continued to be shabby in order to annoy Arm.

## History

They called themselves 'the secret organisation' before, starting with Choi Han when they attacked the Arm's First Battle Brigade.

Cale's group called themselves The Real Arm for the first time when Cale, Choi Han, children and Mount Leeb’s bandits attacked the Mostue faction in the Leeb-An City. The day after was the day that they opened the Hope and Adventure Loving Inn, the Real Arm’s first base.

She is said to be weaker than Becrock, who is stronger than the highest tier, at his first appearance at the Castle of Light.
