Ryoma Takeda was once a rising star in the ring, an Interhigh champion, a golden boy with fists of promise. But one bitter loss on his pro debut shattered his confidence. A freak accident soon after stole his leg.

His career vanished. His fiancée left him. And all he had left were reruns of that one damn fight… and a hundred different regrets.

Then, just as he hits rock bottom, fate does the unthinkable. He wakes up ten years in the past, on the very night of his first professional match.

But this time, something’s different.

[System Initialized: Vision Grid Active]
“Your eyes see the truth beneath motion. Use it well.”

Armed with the Vision Grid System, a combat-assist module that turns his visual perception into tactical mastery, Ryoma now has a second chance.

To fix his mistakes.
To chase the career he lost.
To protect the mother he failed.
To fulfill the hopes of those who refused to give up on him.
And to finally become the man they always believed he could be.

But boxing isn't just a sport. It's war of bodies, of minds, of hearts.

And Ryoma Takeda is done losing.

Kaede freezes mid-step, a thin shiver crawling up her spine. Something in the air feels wrong, heavy and warped, like Ryoma's shadow suddenly grew teeth she can't see.


But her voice comes out thin, unsure, barely more than a breath that never reaches him.


Ryoma doesn't blink, doesn't turn. His gaze stays locked on the magazine as if chained to it, pupils dark and unfocused.


<< Look at them. Pathetic. Panicking because you're better. They call you a problem because they're afraid. Afraid of you, Ryoma. >>


<< This country can't handle strength. They want you small. They want you quiet. It's not your fault you outgrew them. >>


<< There's only one exit. Move on. Leave this place to rot. >>


Kaede swallows hard, forcing her hand to reach him. Her fingers tremble as they brush his arm.
