The night was silent except for the sound of rushing water.
Near a lonely waterfall, a woman stood holding a newborn child in her trembling arms. Her eyes were red from crying. The baby looked up at her, unaware of the storm inside her heart.
"I'm sorry…" she whispered.
She gently placed the baby on a soft cloth near the riverbank. The cold mist from the waterfall touched the child's skin, but he did not cry. He simply stared at the sky.
High above, hidden within the darkness of the clouds, a god watched.
"This child… carries something unusual."
The god descended slowly, unseen by human eyes. He lifted the baby carefully. The child's blue eyes reflected the starlight.
"Your life will not be ordinary," the god murmured.
A faint glow surrounded the baby as a quiet blessing was placed upon him — not warmth, not kindness… but power. Dangerous, limitless power.
The god disappeared.
Moments later, the cloth loosened, and the river carried the baby away.
The waterfall roared.
And destiny began moving.
By morning, the river had carried the child far from the waterfall.
In a quiet part of the city, near the water's edge, a couple noticed something unusual floating near the shore…
There, a man and a woman see the small child near the water, completely drenched. They already had a son once, but he was lost. So, they decide to adopt Tiger and raise him as their own. The woman's name is Akira, who becomes Tiger's stepmother.
Years passed, but the question of where he came from never truly left him.
Akira enrolls Tiger in school. At 8 years old, Tiger starts attending classes. One day, during a school event at the park, Tiger sits alone on a swing, thinking: "How did my father die?" Nearby, a girl notices him and whispers to her friend, "That boy looks really strange."
Later that night, Tiger keeps thinking about his father's death. The next day, he goes back to school and trains with the school trainer. After three days of school, something strange happens—Tiger has a dream.
In the dream, he's standing in a huge battle stadium. The crowd is shouting: "Leon! Leon!" Leon steps into the arena, ready to fight. Tiger is confused but also prepares for battle. The fight begins, and after a long, intense clash, Tiger finally defeats Leon.
Just then, a new challenger enters: Tigor. The fight is fierce. Tigor overpowers Tiger at first, knocking him down and making blood spill from Tiger's mouth. Suddenly, Tiger's eyes change—first from blue to completely white. He strikes back, hurting Tigor.
But Tigor hits harder, pushing Tiger beyond his limits. This time, Tiger's eyes glow brighter, darker blue than before, shining with intense light. Filled with rage, Tiger attacks fiercely and manages to injure Tigor. Eventually, Tigor falls and is defeated.
At exactly midnight, Tiger suddenly wakes up in shock.
And this is where Episode 1 ends.
