Episode 0 : New Beginning

[ National Stadium: June 15, 2025 ]

The room was plunged into silence, Yuto's body lay there, on the floor, surrounded by his teammates, who rushed to help him. But his heart had stopped beating. The scene that had played out a few moments earlier, full of tension and victory, now seemed unreal.

Haruki, his hands trembling, tried to shake his friend, but the heartbeat had become silent. The young setter couldn't understand. Everything had happened so fast, too fast.

Haruki (sobbing): "No... no... Yuto, wake up!"

The doctors arrived in a hurry, their gestures professional and urgent, but it was too late. Yuto Takeda, the rising legend of volleyball, had left this world. A heart condition, a murmur that had grown stronger over the years, had gotten the better of him just as he was realizing his dream.

But as the stadium filled with tears and sadness, a strange light began to shine above his body, almost imperceptible, like a sudden breeze that cuts through the air.

A whisper echoed softly, a calm and deep voice, invisible and yet omnipresent.

Mysterious voice: "You gave everything and your passion touched the sky Yuto Takeda."

Yuto couldn't answer. He was no longer in his body, he no longer felt the pain, nor the heaviness of his heart. He was... free, floating in a kind of void.

Mysterious voice: "The end of an adventure... can often mark the beginning of a new story."

Yuto (thought): "A new story...?"

A burst of light, then a heavy silence. The air around him was changing, time seemed suspended. Then, he felt sucked in, like a mist dissipating in a powerful wind, carrying his essence to another place.

Bright light.

A cry, A baby cry.

Yuto's eyes opened slowly, light hitting his pupils. Everything was blurry, chaotic. He heard voices, background noises, but nothing was clear. A baby had just been born, and he knew deep down that it was him, but how could that be possible.

He was aware of his own being, of his past life. He was Yuto Takeda, but not quite. He was in a world he didn't know, everything was still unknown. He saw blurry faces above him, people talking, worrying about his health.

He tried to move, to get up, but his new child's body didn't obey his commands yet. He was stuck in this small body...

The doctor spoke to his mother

Doctor 1: "It seems that this baby is in perfect health, and his heart beats normally"

Nurse: "Have you found a name?!"

The young woman and the man next to her looked at each other and the woman replied: "Yes! He will be called Renji... Renji Sakamoto"

Yuto now Renji Sakamoto, understood that he had undergone a kind of reincarnation, although he was still troubled, the constant beating of his heart that differed from the irregular beating he had known in his former life, gave him a lot of joy and a slight smile appeared on his thin lips.

Mother: "Honey! Look, he's smiling"

Father: "Hahaha! My son will certainly become someone extraordinary"

Mother: " welcome to the, my little Renji "
