The Genius Midfielder has returned

Kai Arata, once hailed as the "Japanese Zidane," was a football prodigy who rose to stardom at Arsenal, dazzling the world with his elegance, vision, and technical brilliance. At just 18, he led Japan to the World Cup quarterfinals and dominated European football. However, his career was tragically derailed by a horrific injury, followed by a relentless cycle of rehabilitation and setbacks. By 28, exhausted and broken, he retired, leaving behind unfulfilled dreams and a lingering question—what if he had stayed healthy?



Now a youth coach in Japan, Kai dedicates himself to nurturing the next generation. But as he reflects on his past, regret clings to him like a shadow. One day, he receives a mysterious email with a simple yet impossible question:



"Do you wish to turn back time?"



Without hesitation, he clicks.



A blinding light engulfs him.



And when he opens his eyes—he's back. Sixteen years old. A youth player at Arsenal, standing at the beginning of his legendary rise. This time, he has knowledge of the future, wisdom from experience, and the burning determination to reclaim everything he lost.



Can he rewrite his destiny and reach even greater heights?
