The morning sun filtered through the cracks of the curtain, bathing the luxurious room with a soft, golden light.
Caden sat by the window, staring out at the tranquil view. His thoughts whirlwind, swirling at the memories and emotions of the life he now inhabited.
"It still feels like yesterday." A warm smile appeared on his lips. He remembered this view vividly.
He knew this scenery too well; it was twenty years ago.
Caden heaved in relief, his suspicions were correct. He truly has regressed twenty years back into the past.
In a time when it all just started, today was the day Kyle Freeman transmigrated into the body of Caden Ryder.
Caden was still seventeen years old at this moment. Still a young prince of the Morningstar Kingdom and a young master of House Ryder.
"To think I regressed twenty years back into the past," He mumbled, still smiling, "Is this Fate or Luck?" He was confused.
Was this the arrangement of a third party, or was it his luck that he not only transmigrated from Earth?
He also regressed back twenty years into the past, to start over.
Knock Knock
"Young master Caden…Young Master Caden, are you still asleep?" the knock resounded as a young feminine voice followed.
Caden's smile broadened even more. "To think I would hear this voice again." He slightly tilted his head.
Facing the direction of the door, "No, I'm awake, come in," Caden answered.
The door sprang open, and a young lady, dressed in a white and black maiden uniform, stepped in.
Her purple hair shimmered with brilliant light, this is the Purple Continent.
The Land of the Purpleman Race.
Every single entity in this continent possesses the signature purple hair and light purple eyes.
Caden is not an exception, while there are Purplemen, there are also Redmen and Yellowmen, Whitemen and Blackmen, Greenmen and Bluemen.
Each ruling their own Continent and aside from the seven continents ruled by the seven colors of men.
There are also Dwarfs, Elves, Beastmen, Fairies, and other species.
Most occupy the remaining three continents.
Purple Continent is situated in the North, they're Northerners, and although they're not closer to the western Red Continent.
There are still connections between them.
Purple Continent is known for its bravery, survival skills, and valiant men who thirst for battle.
Red Continent is known for their trade and wealth, other continents have their own attributes.
The young maid's movements came to a halt, she stood before Caden without fear, her face reddened as she locked eyes with Caden.
"Good morning young master Caden, how was your night?" She greeted with her head bowed. "You seem sick," She continued. Caden shook his head as he slowly rose up from the bed.
He softly exhaled, "I'm good, I just have a slight headache, get me some tea to drink." Caden answered warmly.
She nodded "This noble maid will do as you have commanded, if you need anything from me…..please don't forget to summon me"
With that, she ran out of the young master's chambers excitedly. If it were other maids, they wouldn't dare to act so before Caden.
"Candy," He muttered with a smile. After Caden's mother died, Candy was the only maid in the Castle who treated Caden with love and respect.
She was his personal maid.
Even though she loves Caden, she could not dare confess her feelings to the young master.
Due to Caden's late mother being the third wife of the Patriarch. Caden was restricted by his stepmother and his stepbrothers.
Caden knew of her feelings, he had to ignore them for her safety. he treated her as a family member instead, so she could act freely with him.
And she won't be punished. If he reciprocated any feelings, and his stepmom or step-siblings were to figure it out.
She's been their first target to cripple his position in the family.
Immediately Candy left his chambers to prepare his tea, Caden's eyebrows instantly furrowed.
His fist clenched tightly. "Red Continent, Emperor Zeraith." His eyelid twitched as he recalled everything.
Within a few years, Emperor Rozen Riverrun of the Redman Empire will die and his two eldest sons will fight for his throne.
Zeraith and Zorian Riverrun.
A twin and yet their own worst enemies, in the end. Zorian Riverrun will die and Zeraith will inherit his father's throne.
Under Emperor Zeraith's commands…..
Purple Continent will be the first to be invaded. Once the Purple Continent is invaded and the Purpleman Race is wiped out.
Other Continents and color races will submit to the Red Continent. They'll be vassals under Zeraith's rule.
The mudane life of peace that Caden has always dreamed about was destroyed by the Redmen.
"I cannot let my mistake repeat itself again" He growled "Although there are still seven years until Emperor Rozen's death"
"I have to prepare for the invasion of my Purple Continent" His voice etched with surging anger.
He had to grow stronger. If he were stronger during the invasion of the Purple Continent.
Purple Continent wouldn't have fallen for the schemes and brute force of the Redmen, the Purpleman Race wouldn't have been wiped out.
And there were also traitors in the Purple Continent, especially in his Morningstar Kingdom.
There's a traitor who will defect to the Redmen and expose the secrets of the Morningstar Kingdom.
"Father's Chief Advisor….. Benjamin Ortega" Caden muttered, he had no evidence.
He could not blindly accuse someone as prominent as the Chief Advisor without any proper evidence.
His eyes scanned through his chamber, this is truly a chamber prepared for royalty, since Candy hasn't returned with his tea.
He was already losing his patience "Since I've regressed twenty years in the past, my father's still alive and so are my brothers"
"I'm only the 5th young master of House Ryder, I should go greet my father and…." Before Caden could attempt to step out of his chamber.
It was like something controlled his mouth, he muttered "Status"
A virtual cyan panel spawned right before his eyes. Almost making him jump up in surprise.

Even believing that this was a hallucination.
