PlanetKaigen — TheFinalNight
The sky was bleeding red with storms of lightning. Thousands of voices echoed across the land:
"Seize the child! He is our power!"
Hirotsugu Kaigen fought fiercely with his sword, cutting down enemies as blood rained on the ground. Beside him, Aiyaka Kaigen held their newborn son tightly to her chest, tears streaming down her face.
"Raizen is their target," Hirotsugu growled.
"They know he was born with limitless power. They want to claim him."
Aiyaka shook her head, trembling.
"He is not their weapon. He is just my son… I will not watch him be destroyed before my eyes."
With desperate strength, Hirotsugu raised his hands, forming a blazing portal of energy.
"We have no choice. We must send him away—into another universe. Somewhere… he may live."
The infant cried out, his voice drowned by the roar of thunder, as his body vanished into the light.

Earth — A RainyNight
A dark alley. Rain poured down mercilessly. The small child lay on the cold ground, crying, soaked to the bone.
That night, a weary laborer named Seok-Jin was walking home. He heard the infant's cries and stopped. His hands were rough, his body exhausted, but his heart was kind.
He picked the child up and whispered softly:
"From now on… you are my son."
Seok-Jin took Raizen home, raised him as his own, enrolled him in school, and shared whatever little bread he had. But within his body lurked a cruel truth—cancer. He never showed his weakness to Raizen.
When Raizen turned eight, Seok-Jin passed away. From that day, the boy was left alone in the world.

TenYearsLater — Earth
Raizen walked home from school, quiet, reserved, lost in his own thoughts. On the street, a group of boys surrounded him, throwing stones at his back.
He kept walking, silent, until suddenly his hand shot out and caught a stone mid-air. His grip tightened. The stone shattered into three pieces.
In the blink of an eye, those shards flew back like bullets.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Each one struck the bullies, knocking them unconscious. Raizen looked at them coldly, without anger, without guilt—without feeling. Then, he simply turned and walked home.
At home, he opened the fridge: one egg, a little milk, and butter. On the table: stale bread and a withered cabbage leaf. He cooked what he could, sat down, and turned on the TV.
Breaking News!
"Three children killed—investigators suspect a new kind of weapon. The bullets are larger than any firearm currently known…"
Raizen quietly turned off the TV. He walked down into the basement. Darkness filled the room, yet his eyes pierced through it easily.
Who am I? Where did I come from? Who were my real parents?
His thoughts burned in silence.
Then, suddenly, the air split with a flash of light. A man appeared, teleporting before him—white coat, scientific device in hand, eyes wide with recognition.
His name was Dr. Shigeru Kaigen—Raizen's uncle, a scientist from the universe of his birth.
He looked at Raizen and whispered in awe:
"There's no doubt… You are the child. You are Raizen—the heir of our bloodline."
And at that moment, Raizen's true story began....🔥
