Author's Note:
Due to my own shortcomings, I have found it to be exceptionally difficult to maintain the character's personalities of the official Korean webnovel "Lout of Count's Family" written by Yoo Ryeo Han, so at times they may seem OOC, I ask for your understanding.
This is my first published reaction fanfiction, and I will accept and appreciate constructive criticism and feedback.
The reason I came up with this idea is because I've never come across a story like this where the first timeline of the original Cale Henituse is treated as intended - a previous but failed timeline.
I've enjoyed reading and discovering other author's reaction fics where the two timelines are treated as separate worlds, so I wanted to attempt this version of my own reaction fic in a similar yet unexplored style with variations.
However, I deviated from the works of the original "Lout of Count's Family" in several ways while blatantly disregarding some aspects of the characters and world building which pertains in particular but is not limited to the details expanded on in Part 2 of the webnovel (I haven't begun reading it yet so no spoilers for now please!).
Something to note, there have been changes to the details and backgrounds of some support characters, so please also just treat that as if it is my own AU!
Ultimately, I'm aiming to make this reaction fiction the backbone of another fanfiction I intend to write at a later stage and time (feel free to let me know if that would be something you would be interested in reading...).
Finally, it took a great deal of time, effort and frustrating tenacity on my part to find a version of my own reaction fic that I felt comfortable enough to share with others, so if you don't like it, please feel free to drop it and find something that suits your tastes better.
Warning:
I am fully aware that everyone has their own preferences, and they're free to pursue and express them in a safe and dignified manner - however, I don't believe my work is the correct place for harsh or malicious comments, so if you don't like my work, please just drop it and go. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm purely writing this for my own enjoyment, entertainment, and to sate my own curiosity. I want to see how far I can go with this, so please respect that.
Now that I've said my piece, let's get into it. For those who've made it this far, please leisurely sit back and enjoy.

Prologue
It started merely as an itching sensation of discomfort in their chests, Choi Han and Alberu were the first to experience it because they were the closest to Cale and had even made a deal with the God of Death and the Sun God respectively to find him when the Sealed God had tried to take him from them.
The discomfort grew in their unconscious minds faster than it did in the minds' of the others. Eventually, however, everyone in their found-family was experiencing it, though. It became stronger with time, infiltrating their dreams and causing nightmarish fragments of memories they could not recall possessing to surface.
The disquiet only fell silent when they were near Cale, though. Being around him seemed to effectively soothe the chaos and the chills that went through their body every time they felt that something was wrong. Even though the war was over and they'd all won, the members of Cale's found-family often found themselves unconsciously flinching when fractured images of bloodied faces blurred the faces of their loved ones at random moment during their days.
Even the children were not exempt from this torment and had Cale not seen Raon one day flinch when he turned sharply to address Choi Han who suddenly entered their room on the fifth floor of the Super Rock Villa, he may not have realized something was becoming strange with all his family members. Of course, he noticed how they all became a little more clingy around him, how they'd sought him out early in the morning and coaxed him to join them for breakfast - in fact where once they usually allowed him to wake in his own time, they now all came to the Villa every morning to have a hearty breakfast together.
Since Cale enjoyed their presence and company, he hadn't found it strange, but ever since that moment when he saw Raon flinch at the sight of Choi Han, the slumbering instincts borne from childhood and adolescent trauma awoke within him once more and he became acutely aware that every member of his family seemed to be hiding something from him.
