While Yoyd was in the store...
Robber 1: "Everyone on the ground, now! Hurry!"
The shopkeeper tried to fight back, charging at them—
Suddenly, gunshots rang out.
Several bullets struck Yoyd...
Yoyd (in his final moment):
"Sigh... I wish I could have lived better... but now it's too late."
His eyes slowly closed, and Yoyd died.
But this... was not the end.
Somewhere far away, in the Ibara Empire, within the noble Benos D'Gor family...
A servant came running into the mansion.
Servant:
"Master! Your son... he's been born!"
Lord of the Mansion:
"What?!"
He rushed toward the room where his wife lay.
He opened the door, finding her resting on the bed with a newborn baby in her arms.
Wife:
"Come, darling... our son."
He gently took the baby into his arms.
Hearing his breathing... feeling that he was alive...
Tears filled the father's eyes.
Arnold Benos D'Gor (the lord):
"This... is really our son? He's breathing… he's alive."
Arnold:
"Send invitations to all our allies.
We shall celebrate! My only son—whom they all said wouldn't survive—is alive!"
While joy filled the halls...
Suddenly, the newborn opened his eyes.
No…
Yoyd opened his eyes.
The one who believed he had died… now stared at a world anew.
Yoyd:
"What's all this noise...?
Where am I...?
Why do I feel so weak…?"
He looked up—
And found himself cradled in the arms of Arnold Benos D'Gor.
