(Scene 1: Birth)
One rainy night on a planet inhabited by ten noble families, a strangely quiet and unusual child is born inside the Lewin family mansion.
The child's name is Saruto.
From the moment of his birth, his parents noticed that his aura was different from that of other ordinary children—different, in fact.

(Scene 2: Early Childhood – Age 3)
The other children in the mansion run and play, while Saruto spends his time meditating and gazing at the sky.
The servants of the mansion whisper:
> "He's a strange child... He doesn't cry much, he doesn't ask for anything... and he doesn't play with children his own age. It's as if he thinks like an adult."
His father (the king of the Lewin family) is worried about him, while his mother sees him as "special."

(Scene 3: Age 5): Separation
One night in the palace, Saruto's mother's illness worsens. The doctors say she has a rare condition: a reduction in the flow of energy in her body, causing it to accumulate in one place—her heart. Saruto is by his mother's side, watching her in her final moments as she holds his hand and reassures him that everything will be alright.
Holding back tears, Saruto says, "I know your condition, Mother. I heard everything."
His mother hugs him, weeping, and says, "I'm sorry I have to leave you so soon, my son. Take care of yourself, listen to your father, and become the pride of the Dark Family."
Minutes later, as Saruto held his mother's hand while sleeping beside her, it slipped from his grasp. He awoke with a start, realizing his mother had passed away. He sobbed, "Mother, please wake up! Please don't leave me! I know you're asleep, Mother..." Then, a deafening scream filled the entire palace. His Darkness energy began to surge out of control. His father rushed to him and knocked him unconscious before the situation worsened. Seeing his wife dead before him, he fought back tears as he held Saruto, grasping her arm. But despite his resistance, he collapsed and began to weep as well. Morning arrived, and Saruto's mother was buried in the family cemetery. Everyone was present except Saruto, who remained in his room.
Saruto then remembered his mother's last wish: that he would become the pride of the Darkness family and that he would not let her down.
Saruto began his simple training exercises under his father's supervision in the courtyard.
Saruto appeared physically weak, but he observed his father's movements and instructions.
The training is arduous for him, but Saruto calmly responds with a phrase that remains etched in his mind:
"True strength isn't measured by the number of blows... but by your ability to endure when you fail and rise again."
The servants marvel at his precocious maturity.

(Scene 4: Age 7)
One night, he hears a voice in his sleep...
> "You are the heir... When the time comes, the power of darkness within you will awaken."
He wakes up terrified but tells no one.
From that night on, he begins to have recurring dreams of battles between the ten families, rooms where someone is training but whose form is unclear, and a dragon.
---
(Scene 5: Age 9)
Saruto accompanies his father on a tour of the family estate.
He witnesses the hardships of the peasants and ordinary soldiers and begins to ask his father difficult questions:
> "Everyone works hard for the stability and peace of this kingdom. Isn't that right, Father?"
His father smiled and said to himself,
> "It seems you're maturing fast, Saruto."
---
(Scene 6: Age 10)
Important Incident: While Saruto was wandering in the forest, as usual, to get away from his training with his father, a huge wild beast attacked him.
He ran away, but grew tired from running.
Despite his fear, Saruto stood between himself and the beast, trying to protect himself by throwing stones at it!
Suddenly, in a fit of rage, a mythical aura emanated from his body for a brief moment, frightening the beast and causing it to flee, unconscious.
Saruto's father sensed a strange energy coming from the forest and quickly moved to investigate, saying,
> "Where did this energy come from?"
But then he found Saruto unconscious. He examined his body and found that the energy of darkness had awakened within him.

(Scene 7: Age 11 - Pre-Academy)
Saruto's father told him he would soon be entering the academy, so he should prepare.
Saruto began preparing to enter Hartz Academy.
He said, "Hartz Academy, I'm coming!"
