...in case anyone was wondering. TCF x Pick Me Up.

Kim Rok Soo ending up in a mobile game and Choi Jung Soo unknowingly becoming the game master of the account he ends up. Plot twist? Choi Jung Soo is TERRIBLE at the game, and KRS - now named after 1-star character Cale - struggles to surive and keep things in order as his BFF recklessly plays just for the fun of it.

Cale wishes he could reach out through CJS's phone screen and STRANGLE him lol

Fun stuff about the AU:

instead of horse statues, Cale gets lemonade drinks. Ufortunately, it's magic lemonade that gives stats buff, so he has no choice but to drink it every time. CJS did not even read the description of the item - he's under the impression that his favorite character loves lemonade!

the only reason why KRS started to play Pick Me Up was because Lee Soo Hyuk used to be a big player. KRS used to say he would never play this type of game because he hates character deaths. After LSH "mysteriously" diasppeared tho, he picked the game as a way to remember his old friend. Through the next 10 years, he slowly climbed to the top of the ranking charts as he achieved the absolute impossible of "Pick Me Up": not a single character of his ever died in any way. (And yes, his world difficulty was SSS-rank, not that he knew about it.)

Obviously, KRS is THE gaming god of the entire community. Everyone worships him. Not that he ever realized that; he's forever in denial about people admiring him.

...One of KRS's top 6-star characters was Clopeh. You can imagine how the rest of his cast felt about their Game Master-nim lol

Meanwhile, LSH's old account is still up and running. It's actually Endable (no White Star involved though). One of his top 6-rankers was Fredo. LSH, now Sui Khan, manages to find them after ending up somewhere else - through a Waiting Room raid. He gets kidnapped and joins his old team. The inhabitants of Endable never found out he was their Ex-Master, though.

The strongest character on CJS's account though isn't Cale, it's Choi Han. I'm not sure his exact backstory in this AU. Maybe transmigration would be involved, maybe not? In any case, obviously Choi Han is as loyal to Cale in this as he is in canon. Meanwhile, his opinion of their Game Master is pretty low. ...It would actually be funnier if Choi Han and CJS did end up related somehow. Imagine all the shade throwing, without any idea he's talking about his own nephew lol

Cale, instead of being an epic swordsman MC, ends up achieving Ancient Powers through his gaming knowledge of hidden mechanics and easter eggs. Over time, it naturally makes him one of the most powerful characters in the whole game.

Instead of saving a princess through many Floors in the Tower, that roles belongs to Alberu. Cale and Alberu bicker every single time they meet. The would sooner stab themselves than admit they're ride or die friends.

One of the reoccurring villains of the Tower is the White Star. It's extremely entertaining how much Cale doesn't care about his existence in the slightest. Meanwhile, WS has a whole conspiracy board about this mysterious hero who keeps popping up out of knowhere and foiling all his schemes to kill Alberu.

The Game Fairy role is filled by the God of Death, although he probably has a different nickname in the system. He's Cale's biggest simp. Cale doesn't care at all.

The whole conspiracy about the game being real and all and a connected multiverse is, of course, because of the Hunters. It's one huge Karma farm investment for them. Not too far off from what Transparnent Co. were doing in canon, actually...

I hesitate which characters should belong to KRS's account and CJS's account (so that they're in the "present" storyline and active characters). I know for certain Rosalyn fills the Iolka/Eolka role of the mage. Either way, all characters love Cale. Cale remains deliberately oblivious about that fact.

The biggest subversion and the whole point of this crossover... Cale makes it so that no one dies. Despite CJS being a moron gamer. It's a wild ride hahaha

Cale:.... I hate my life.

Cjs: ah, I'm such a good master.

Cale: I thought you guys hated me cause I control every aspect of you and think this was all a game.

Choi han: no? We all are indebted to you cale-nim, you were the one who saved us all

Clopeh, in the back: AND YOU WERE THE ONE WHO SPARED ME WHEN I RAIDED YOU, EVEN THOUGH I DESERVE TO DIE, AH, MY GOD-

Cale, reminiscing about his old account when he was a game master: "Ah, yes, my own heroes. Since this is all real, if they met me now, they would certainly beat me up!"

Meanwhile, Cale's old characters be like:

Clopeh, with powerpoint presentation in front of a crowd: "...AND THIS IS WHY WHY KRS-NIM IS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, THOSE WHO WISH TO JOIN AND WORSHIP OUR MASTER GO TO THE DOORS ON THE LEFT TO SIGN UP-!"

Cale: "...why do I feel like someone's talking s*** about me?"

And honestly, I want cale to see just how far caleism is spreading in the roan kingdom vro , it'll be so funny, like-

Cale: *trying to walk past a crowd* what are they even doing...?

Clopeh: *singing a song abt cale journey and praising him* AND CALE-NIM IS OUR LEGEND, OUR GOD, OUR UNIVERSE~

Alberu: ignore them, we tried to do our best, but it already spread this far...

Cale: what... Are you joking..?

Choi Han:....

so I install crk bcuz of shadow milk (when black sapphire banner was only 13d), and I made it VERY clear that I wanted him, in kingdom, irl, arena, gacha, EVERYWHERE.

But problem is, he won't come home at all. Whenever I pull on black sapphire banner, or when I got 300 cookie cutters, he won't come home but instead gave me black sapphire, candy apple, Mystic Flour soulstones and burning spice soulstones, AND I LITERALLY GOT PV AWAKENED, GC AWAKENING AND WIND ARCHER, HE STILL DIDN'T COME HOME EVEN WHEN I SPOIL HIS CHILDREN AND OTHER PPL RELATED TO HIM, EVEN HIS COSTUME, I just know he's avoiding me, probably cuz I said I'll make him pregnant.

It wasn't until I draw 300 at the gacha banner was when I got him guaranteed.

Yes I just ranted 2 u but the idea is, instead of ancients and beast liking us, they were afraid/concerned abt us bcuz we said smth unhinged abt them, especially since they don't rlly know us yet since we just installed the game, the ancients might be still come home since might of ancient but the beast??? Yea.

It is quite funny to think about, I’ve seen some questionable things said about the cookies in the game. Never thought of how they’d react much until now…

Here's a word dump about my thoughts about this scenario ^^

(Not proofread, semi-big word dump lol (943 words))

The Ancients are definitely concerned, most are wary towards you. Especially White Lily. She already knows the truth about the witches, but who are you?? You're not a witch and from what she sees, you're more powerful than them. Would you hurt them as well? You're able to pick them up and move them around if you manage to...obtain them? Even worse, you seem to be able to force some of them in the kingdom!!

Pure Vanilla tries to give you the benefit of the doubt, you don't seem to have any malicious intent after all but he's still keeping an eye out. You seem to...really like them, even gushing over them about different things you liked about them. How'd you even know about these things??

Dark Cacao is one of the most on guard, as well as one of the last ones to warm up to you. He keeps an eye on you, a very watchful eye. You may seem sweet and kind but he can't let that cloud his judgement until he's 100% sure you mean no harm. Golden Cheese also feels on guard around you.

It nearly terrifies her seeing you being able to bring back cookies from her past but she is a bit grateful to see them again. Actually alive and breathing.

I think Hollyberry would be one of the first to warm up to you fully. You seem kind, and full of passion towards them. Even if some of the things you say about them surprise them. You don't seem like you have any bad intentions.

They're not sure how it works really, them seeing you. You seem to be in a different world, quite literally. They look up and it's just you there...behind you a room they can't recognize. It's not any of their kingdoms and the interior isn't something they've seen before. It takes a bit before they realise they're in a game, perhaps you rambled about it to a friend while playing.

None of the ancients like the thought of being in a game but it does in a way ease their concern towards you the more they find out about the game. At the very least, nothing you do can actively harm them, aside from doing arena and stories as it seems. But you always make sure to protect them so even then is it rare for them to be really injured.

The Beasts are less wary, but that doesn't mean they like you immediately. They don't care for you, as long as you don't get in the way of their plans, some are intrigued by you though. Shadow Milk being one of them.

You're saying you have control over him? That you have even more power than the witches? Okay you didn't say that but he's gotten Black Sapphire to find out information on you. I feel like he's one of the first to find out he's in a game. And while he isn't opposed to the idea he doesn't fully like it either. Every action he took before was written by someone? That's not a pleasant thought.

Though he does pride himself that he now knows. He can mess with you when he's in the kingdom. If you're going to practically trap him in the one area unless you need him to fight, why not bring him entertainment?

Mystic Flour, to no ones surprise. Doesn't particularly feel any strong emotions to this. She wants to know about you though, where you came to be. If this truly was a game, were there technically multiple of her? And if so, did the others gain sentience just as she did? She can't really confirm these in any way without giving herself away though. And she'd much rather find out more before revealing the secret, if she ever does.

Burning Spice would not like it at all. No one should control him!! He gives you some slack, you're trying to make him stronger and witches does he love the arena. But he hates that he's limited to what the game gave him to fight. Let him do more!! Let him throw his axe, lift the other cookies up. Anything other than just 1 ability and smacking his axe down.

He has tried at least once to throw a weapon at you, but whether you reacted to it or not, cared about it or not. It did near nothing. He wants to get out, needs to even. If you were in another world, then surely he'll find something to entertain him right?

Eternal Sugar? I can't see her caring too much either. She just wants to relax, but she does pride herself if you seemed to have been tricked by her act as well. She would've thought if anyone would see past her trick it would be you but you seemed to truly believe she had pure intentions until you did her story.

If you did manage to see past it though, she does commend you, even if you have an advantage technically.

For the beasts, all in all. As long as you don't try to butt into their plans with the ancients (which you couldn't anyways) they don't care for you. Some may accuse you of making them loose until they find out their fate was already written and there was no winning for them.

Recap, in this au, instead of being sealed in the tree, the witches kill the Beast and reincarnated them, promising them that this time, they'll do better and give them a better life. They also made a spell so that all of them will not meet each other, until a certain point of when they are becoming lesser of the Beast of they are. This also include in the sidekick, but they have a much higher chance meeting, the percentage being higher.

Shadow Milk (this au is inspired by another so I copy some stuff ok) was abt to be reincarnated as a normal cookie, when for some reason, the light of truth feel like trolling and reincarnated him into one of the ancient's twin, Pure Vanilla.

The name change cuz their reincarnated, duh

Silent salt - silent chip cookie

Mystic Flour - Mystic White

Eternal Sugar - Eternal Daisy

Burning Spice - Burning Chili

Shadow Milk - Shadow Vanilla

Shadow Milk

Anyway- At first shadow milk cookie was like 'get me outta here bro nah!!! wtf man I hate this!!!' and tries to kill pure vanilla at first because he's a bit. Insane like that and he doesn't know who the hell this child is 😭😭 he probably thinks he got a second chance from fate or something and is having none of that because he's still salty about being killed

The thing is tho– pure vanilla is scared at first but forgives him and shadow milk is rightfully confused because '????? I tried to kill you????' and he's never seen a cookie so, kind? Simple minded? Before, so he feels weird, and is baffled but ultimately lets it go under the guise of him waiting for a perfect opportunity to strike (spoiler, he doesn't he's actually weirdly touched yet disgusted on how kind pure vanilla is)

HC that their sibling dynamics is still chaotic older twin and kind younger twin, shadow milk cookie still mischievous as hell, same exact personality and vanilla scolds him lightly from time to time, but most times just playfully exasperated

They attend the blueberry yogurt academy together, along with white lily, shadow milk cookie probably puts up a facade towards everyone, a bit silly yet insane at times, the only one who's seen shadow milk cookie with his guard down is pure vanilla cookie, and that's only during the time he almost killed him.

But one day he sees what white lily was researching and, honestly he probably already knows the truth so seeing white Lily research it set off alarm bells in his head, honestly, knowing him he'd probably let her go to the banquet fully knowing what she could learn, but the thing is he's conflicted on pure vanilla learning it too, "he's too- too simple minded for that, he can't learn it ever" (he started caring a bit over the years) so he confronts white Lily and gets her to hide her research from pure vanilla, not without her pressing him for answers too though, he tells her some sparing details.

It's worth noting now that shadow milk got weirdly attached to pure vanilla, but is still planning to regain his powers back, and find out what happened to the rest of the previous ancients.

I feel like he'd stick with PV during his pilgrimage, and finally understand why he was reborn as his twin when pure vanilla recieved the light of truth, at first he was afraid that pure vanilla would spiral like he did but cast his worries aside when he realized that it lacked the engulfing shadows of deceit, "...why am I even caring anyway??" And then he thinks it's laughable, he thinks fate is trying to screw him over by showing him his replacement front and center.

They'd probably um, have a fight?? Idk but it would lead to shadow milk cookie storming off

They part ways until the fight with dark enchantress, he knows FULL WELL who she is and wanted to ask her things but he gets caught in the crossfire instead, pure vanilla spots him as dark enchantress was preparing for her final blow and uses the strength he has left to shield him and shadow milk's like "WGAT THE FUCK" because it's simply, illogical, incomprehensible to him, it reminds him of his past allies- he was left stunned as everything disappeared.

Everything else happens normally, except now the light of truth sticks with shadow milk cookie since they still technically have a connection, and since pure vanilla is temporary unavailable, shadow milk does NOT know how to feel yet, he's still processing everything that happened, definitely has beef with the light of truth tho I think it'd be funny. He also keeps it around because it can see pure vanilla when he can't, and they're now (begrudgingly) working together to wake pure vanilla up

Idk what happened next, since I'm still new to the lore and don't know which place to put this best, but one day smc would find wizard cookie and the gang and yadayada he suddenly remembered that he was a natural at teaching (he was teaching wizard cookie) and he loved teaching but the pressure and negativity that developed centuries later outweigh it and he realises he still love teaching. Don't know where to put in the timeline tho

The other are still developing but here's the idea

Mystic flour

When she was reincarnated, all of her life was simply normal stuff (for now) but then one day she moves to dark cacao, she found herb cookie (pls tell me he lives there-) and meet espresso cookie who remind her way too much abt smc, Pre corrupted and post corrupted. She realises her negligence to every friends she had and swore to apologise to them. (it's a slow burn realisation tho and slow burn accepting she cares and loves her friends). She would also have a slow, SLOW burn with herb cookie, like he confess to her once and she rejected it soo.... Yeah (I don't ship this in the official but I do ship this in the au cuz I can)

Burning Spice

Burning Spice, not much but he's like- bored, BORED. so he went out to travel so that he won't get bored (it barely help) BUT- like izuru form danganronpa, he'll learn that even tho it's boring, GET FUCKING THERAPY. Also in the past life, he's dyslexic but now he's colourblind lol. Also he will meet various cookie like adventurer cookie and rye cookie so yeah

I don't have much for him cuz he's prob the least traumatised/idk how to handle his trauma- so yeah

Silent Salt

Silent salt, also not much (for now cuz he's the 2nd most traumatised cuz WAR) but got free therapy from cream unicorn cookie lol

Eternal Sugar

eternal sugar was simply chilling when kouign amann came and declared her as her mother (I also didn't developed much cuz idk how to progress it, srry)

also not much except a few trauma lol and some panic attacks, phobia of touch and just- yea

The sidekicks cuz there's no way I'll forget them!

black sapphire cookie, i hc him as a run away child and smc save him (before corruption btw) and kinda adopted him, making him very loyal, not to mention he gave him a bit of his life force which is why he doesnt age, so when smc died, he was FUCKING devastated. so when the sidekicks heard the witches voice that they were going to be reincarnated, they immediately went out of their way to find each of their master.

candy apple cookie doesnt care much abt smc, seeing as she barely know him and was technically was raised by black sapphire cookie so yea, she didn't care much abt smc, maybe a bit since smc is still his father and the one created her

cloud hatea would be devastated and would learn how to survive on their own, and when they meet mystic flour, they would hug the shit out of her lol

nutmeg cookie, although VERY respect burning spice, she would scold the heck out of him and would probably cry

My headcanon on why theyre corrupted btw

burning spice: he wanted to feel full, alive, hes going crazy, please, he would do anthing to be alive, to be full... so please..

mystic flour: shes tired. shes so tired. she already fulfilled so many of the wishes, how many more? shes tired.

eternal sugar: she did everything to make them happy. so why is she not? she did everything, even let them use her body to make them happy. elder faerie said she should do everything and that seeing happiness on the other will make you happy, so why is she isnt? she just want eternal sleep. forever. in her eyes, thats a blessing, all of the suffering ending when you sleep forever. so why are they still..?

silent salt: war, murder, weapons, loneliness. is he only a weapon in everybody eyes? hes so lonely... he cant live without his friends, and not like the cookies care anyway, they just like him because hes a weapon, a protecter. how annoying.

shadow milk: all of them r corrupted, ppl always questioning wheter is he worthy or useful, always being in last place, loneliness, no one who could understand him, and now... the reveal that the witches who created them wanted to eat cookies? sure the one who created them decided they didn't want to eat them, being kind enough, but his whole existence were an accident? so all of those suffering, sleepless nights, praying were worthless? so hes always the last one? .....the burden of knowing to much, embrace the lie, his head says. and this time, he'll agree.

Ships:

Cream unicorn x affogato cookie

Purelily

Shadowsalt

Herb x mystic flour

Stormcacao

Knight cookie x black sapphire

Kouign amann x prune x capsaicin

also u can see the favoritism and yes, like i said, i have lore dump u. anyway- it was fun

ANYWAY- the inspiration!

What happened when mystic flour rejected herb cookie

Smc and mystic flour relationship

Just some other inspiration/flashback

What happened when all of them snapped (PRESSURE MENTIONED LOL)

And finally, the au that inspired me the most!

First of all, I changed the herb x mystic flour cuz it doesn't fit my story anymore. This change only applies to mystic flour cuz I feel like it doesn't suit her.

This is inspired by the fic resolute volition and yes, it's a beast x ancient but it's a good character study of Mystic flour ok 😭😔🙏

Mystic flour, is still well, pale in her body so when she was born in the dark cacao kingdom, she stand out and well, 🔥racism🔥

This will cause mystic flour to belive in her philosophy more, the suffering of all will become an end when the world become flour. She then will heard of dark cacao and well, at 18 years old, she enter it to become a healer, so that she could steal the soul jam. (lil did she know it's gonna heal her instead)

She then entered and become a healer. However due to her talk of turning ppl into flour and pointless stuff, cookies started to avoid her and create rumours abt her. Until, caramel arrow. She was one of the only one who respected her morals, philosophy and didn't create rumour nor treat her like an outcast. Ofc she still doesn't trust her but still,

One day, she was reading a book named "Two Dragons and the King of the Dark Cacao Kingdom the Almighty Dark Warrior Dark Cacao Cookie" yes I copy and paste that shit. Anyway- caramel arrow then revealed the book is the reason she wanted to become a watcher, which intrigued mystic, so she ask for more stuff and caramel arrow cookie reveal that dark cacao is the main reason she wanted to become one, because, let me just-

“King Dark Cacao Cookie read this book to me when I was ten years old,” she began. She didn’t stop even though her voice trembled. “Two months after I lost my family in battle. It felt so… comforting that I could never forget that night. But I don’t think I was listening to the story, I was listening to His Majesty’s voice , instead. He sounded so proud, reading the tale of his olden warrior. And also gentle, as if I could crumble away should he ever raise his voice.”

“I don’t know why he was that kind. I… I actually do, technically. He has a gentle soul, a tender heart. He might look tough and distant, but all of us in this kingdom know very well that… he is a nice person. Everything he does is for the greater good. He bestowed his life for this kingdom just like every other Dark Cacao Warrior did. And I know his loyalty will last forever, countless generations ahead of me will get to taste his beneficence. This is nothing out of the ordinary for him.”

The white cookie remained silent, she didn’t move her lips and patiently waited for the cookie to gather her words.

“I suppose, by not knowing, I meant that I don’t know why he is like that. He went through a lot. And… as you said weeks ago, immortality can turn someone insane. I just… how does he do that? All of that, I mean. That’s so… wonderful. Everything…”

“Like, he has an entire kingdom to take care of. Each decision determines our fates, it must be tough to live with that responsibility. I would never be able to handle such a duty even for a year, and he had been doing this for centuries. He is the leader of our army, the protector of the continent, the one behind each action our kingdom takes, and many more… The responsibilities of an Ancient Cookie, the tolls of possessing a Soul Jam, the traumas of the past…”

“He is simply… too great to be concerned with us. And that wouldn’t be his fault or our shame. I am but a temporary cookie in his eyes, at least, that’s what I’m supposed to be. And everyone else around. The highest ages we can reach should mean nothing to him, he is just that old..! And yet… he spared his time and sat down, read this book, for me only. Because the storm scared me and I couldn’t stop crying.”

“He turned that terrorizing night into the best moment of my whole life. After that, the sound of storms made me feel… serene. Just because he read this book. Just because he let me put my head on his lap. Just because he caressed my hair like my dad used to”

“I don’t know why he did that. But that night shaped the person I am today.”

“I don’t know why.”

Caramel Arrow Cookie’s last words left her speechless. The tranquility she sensed, coming from her head and reaching each corner of her dough blessed her with an ease akin to that serenity she got from storms. It was like the emptiness after penance, so odd but equally freeing.

She didn’t get the opportunity to talk about that night for years, and when she did, it amplified her emotions. Caramel Arrow Cookie was on the verge of crying and couldn’t even feel ashamed. Her hold on the book was firm, she was pressing it onto her chest without realizing. She missed that night so much.

After that, Mystic Flour went and drag caramel arrow with her, saying how she wanted to hear just how "fatherly" his voice is. And then, although confused, dark cacao read the book for them, which almost made caramel arrow cry. She then look at mystic, only to see her looking at her back. It was then that caramel arrow knew, that mystic didn't even wanted to hear the "fatherly" voice in dark cacao, rather, she was simply doing it for caramel arrow.

With crunchy chip, some cookie would say how he and his wolf are street wolves, making him mad and hurt, but mystic would defend him, saying how both of them are from flour and their the same thing. The cookie then wanted to hit her but the cream wolves bit then first lol.

Then after that, crunchy chip would tell the story to ppl in the castle, over exaggerating stuff making ppl cheer very much, Mystic Flour being confused.

After that, in 3rd years she's there, she would notice dark choco and would convince him not to touch it, since it'll only brought more suffering. Then she would scold the shit out of dark cacao it's not even funny. (for dark choco it is tho) and now dark cacao is more open to advice from his son, yay!

She then would be promoted to the grand healer and then there's tittle like "The Fair Lady" and most importantly of all "The Mother of Dark Cacao Kingdom" lol. Basically she would become a mother figure to all of the citizen and then they would heal her with the kindness and more, the one she barely get to witness due to well, it was the olden time, where son is more valuable than daughter.

She then would kinda be an acting consultant because dark cacao trust her judgement cuz well, most of the time she's right, but then she was forced to go into a 2 week vacation by the kingdom, but that's when all hell break loose, such as affogato, the dark cookies, dark cacao paronia which by the way did not align the list she made for him before she go to creme republic, and dark choco getting frustrated with his father cuz he won't listen. After everything was done, dark choco would say that she would scold the heck out him after this, and she did.

Basically, while her philosophy is never broken, it's VERY toned down. Also the relationship between dark cacao and her is platonic, it like mom and dad for the kingdom, except platonic. So yeah! That's all. She works for there 7 years, and also this is her design!
