Cale looked at the system seriously and thought, 'As much as I would like to blame everything that is happening. For me to change in a matter of hours... I can't, honestly I have to accept it. If I didn't have the system, I would have been dead by now.'
'I know I can't be as tall as a mountain or as kind as the earth, but I do know this... I will never let anything like this happen to "My Family" ever.' Cale thought with determination written all over his face, with furrowed brows. 'I will use this System cleverly. Not only will I become strong, but I will be able to protect my family.'
'I have to accept it. My boring life as a courier is over. Now I will finally be able to do something worthwhile.' Then Cale looked up and then again looked at the System and tapped several times.

The System Panel in front of him disappeared, and Cale moved toward his Little Brother, who had calmed down now.
"Minho," Cale said to him calmly.
"Big Brother?" His Little Brother questioned his existence because of all the unknown things happening, to the point where he questioned his own brother’s existence. But Cale ignored it and placed his hands on his shoulder calmly.
"Tell me every single thing that happened here," Cale asked him calmly so he wouldn't get afraid.
"..." Minho couldn't speak because of the terror he felt before, and he could not get over the scene of blood.
But seeing the calm face and determined eyes of Cale assured him of protection. "Big Brother, suddenly cracks in the sky opened and scary monsters came out of them... Me and Mom stayed at home, but after some time, some red hounds entered the house, and then a serpent, but they fought each other, and the serpent ran away after killing some of them. It took them some time to find us, then you appeared," his Little Brother said quickly.
"It's fine with me here. Tell me how Mom got in that state," said Cale, determined to find any leads.
"When the cracks opened, Mom suddenly fell ill, and I had to carry her away. And the green serpent made things troublesome for us," said his Little Brother, with tears in his eyes.
Cale quickly embraced him in his hands and patted his head, whispering, "It's okay. Everything will be fine."
'A Green F*cking Serpent. I will find you soon,' Cale thought with malice-filled eyes, unbeknownst to Minho.

Cale looked at the System, and when he saw his status, he smiled.
"I want you to do something for me, Minho," said Cale to Minho with a determined smile.
"Yes, Big Bro," replied Minho happily as he saw Cale's smile.
"I want you to get inside the Basement with Mom, and I will find a safe place for us, okay?" said Cale seriously.
"Yes. I can do that," replied Minho, and he looked happy.
"That's our brave Minho," said Cale to Minho as Minho laughed happily, the bond between them strengthening in the face of adversity, providing a flicker of hope in their uncertain world.
