"My mother possessed a wood attribute ancient power."

"The Indestructible Shield" was what tcf!Cale immediately thought. But stopped and frown as he heard a voice in his head.

- It's not me Cale, I was always underneath the black tree. Your the first one to have my power and actually crazy enough to throw tons of bread at a pit." As the glutton laugh.

"My mother said that she could see the annual rings of all living things."

"Annual rings."

Cale said those words once out loud. His expression then turned odd. Kim Rok Soo then added on.

"She said that she could see the entire annual rings of a person from birth to death."

Cale Henituse's mother had a wood attribute ancient power.

That power allowed her to see a living being's birth to its death.

"But you see..."

Kim Rok Soo turned to look at Cale.

"My mother sat me down and told me something at one point."

He recalled a memory from when he was very young. It was a conversation that he somehow could not forget, despite how long it has been.

"My dear Cale. Sometimes, there are people whose annual rings are warped. In that case, it is highly likely that that person has a peculiar experience with time."

Kim Rok Soo recalled how his mother had caressed his red hair and how his little fingers had played with her just-as-red hair as he said that out loud.

tboah!Cale and og!Cale was also reminiscing the time he bonded with his mother.

"I want to see my niece" og!Cale thought.

"Cale, you are a child who will have a peculiar experience with time."

Cale brushed his face with both hands. Kim Rok Soo just continued to speak in a calm voice.

"My mother said that after looking at my entire annual rings. But I couldn't understand what she meant at that time. I only understood it when I turned forty years old."

He had received an offer from the God of Death as he was about to die at the age of forty.

"But you see, Cale Henituse..."

Kim Rok Soo's voice sunk low.

Everyone was anticipating what information they will gain.

"I'm sure you've seen this power before. Doesn't it remind you of someone you know?"

Cale kept his mouth shut and closed his eyes.

Kim Rok Soo whispered while looking at him.

"You should have a record of experiencing a power similar to my mother's."
