Cale POV

Kim Rok Soo groaned as he opened his eyes, his head throbbing with pain. He tried to recall what had happened, but his memories were hazy. The last thing he remembered was falling asleep after a long day at work. However, as his vision cleared, he realized he was no longer in his familiar apartment.

He found himself in a lavishly decorated room, lying on an opulent bed surrounded by expensive furnishings. Confusion turned to panic as he struggled to sit up, his body feeling strangely heavy. His heart raced as he looked around, trying to make sense of his surroundings.

"What the...?" he muttered, his voice sounding foreign even to his own ears.

The door to the room creaked open, and a young maid entered, carrying a tray with a teapot and a cup. She gasped in surprise when she saw him awake.

"Young master Cale, you're awake!" she exclaimed, her eyes wide with shock.

Cale? Kim Rok Soo's mind raced as he tried to piece together the puzzle. He glanced at the maid, then down at his hands. They were not his hands. They were delicate and pale, not the rough, calloused hands he was used to. He looked into the mirror across the room and saw the reflection of a young man with auburn hair and red eyes staring back at him.

It all clicked into place. He had somehow transmigrated into the body of Cale Henituse, the infamous trash of the Henituse family from the novel he had been reading before falling asleep.

Kim Rok Soo—now Cale—took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing thoughts. He needed to think clearly and figure out his next steps. According to the novel, Cale Henituse was a notorious troublemaker, despised by his family and feared by the servants. However, he also knew that Cale's fate was not set in stone. This was an opportunity to change the story and create a better future for himself.

"Water," he croaked, and the maid quickly poured a glass and handed it to him. He drank it slowly, buying himself time to think.

"Are you feeling alright, young master?" the maid asked nervously.

Cale nodded, trying to muster a reassuring smile. "I'm fine. Just a bit disoriented."

The maid nodded and quickly left the room to inform the other servants. Cale knew he needed to gather more information and plan his next moves carefully. The first step was to avoid making the same mistakes as the original Cale and to navigate this new life strategically.

As he got out of bed and stretched, he felt the unfamiliar weight of his new body. He looked around the room, taking in the luxurious surroundings. He needed to get used to his new life and the people in it.

He remembered that in the novel, the first major event involved Choi Han, the protagonist, arriving in the Henituse territory. Cale needed to ensure he made contact with Choi Han and established a good relationship with him. Choi Han was a powerful ally, and having him on his side would be crucial.

Ron stepped in to help get his young master Cale dressed and prepared to face the day. Cale resolved to use his knowledge of the novel to his advantage. He would change his fate and the fate of those around him. This was his chance to rewrite the story.

Until Ron told him about Adrian showing up at the territory three days ago, saying that the village in the forest was going to be attacked by a group called ARM. He had come to inform Cale's father of this oncoming attack, and he had been getting medical attention since.
