2026 World Cup Final
The stadium was shaking.
France national football team vs England national football team
Score: 2–2
90+5 minutes.
This was no longer just a match…
This was fate.
The ball rolled toward Moris.
He stopped for a split second.
"Everything is in my hands…"
"I can do this… to become the best in the world…"
"France will win the World Cup… and I will score that goal."
The Attack
Moris sprinted.
Speed.
Heartbeat.
The crowd noise faded away.
He passed the defenders.
And then—
One-on-one with the goalkeeper.
The Feint
Moris faked.
The goalkeeper moved the wrong way.
An open goal.
But—
Moris couldn't stop his speed.
The Impact
CRACK!
The sound echoed across the stadium.
Moris slammed head-first into the goalpost.
Blood.
The ball rolled away slowly…
The stadium fell silent.
Players rushed toward him.
But it was too late.
Moris' vision faded…
And everything went dark.
Awakening
…Silence.
…Nothingness.
Then—
Light.
Too bright…
"Your son is healthy."
"Congratulations, Ichika-san."
A New Life
Moris opened his eyes.
A woman was holding him tightly.
"Haruto… my sweet Haruto…"
Moris froze.
"Haruto…? No… I'm Moris… France's striker…"
He looked at his hands—
Tiny.
A baby's hands.
The Truth
Memories rushed back.
The goalpost…
The impact…
The blood…
He understood.
He had died.
And now—
He had been reborn.
Six Years Later
"Mom… I want to become a football player."
Ichika smiled softly.
"Football is hard, Haruto… can you really do it?"
"Yes."
Haruto clenched his fist.
"I will make Japan win the World Cup…"
"And I will become the best player in the world."

Taka FC
22 kids stood on the field.
The coach stepped forward.
"You will split into two teams of eleven."
"You'll play as a team."
"I will select the best five players."
Haruto smiled to himself.
"This will be easy…"
