As the blinding light subsided, Hiroto's senses adjusted to a surreal reality. His hands, once weathered by the hardships of war, now cradled the form of a tiny, delicate body. He gazed in astonishment at the small, chubby fingers that were now his own. A bewildered realization dawned upon him – he had been reborn.
The room surrounding him was a lavish tapestry of wealth, far removed from the desolation of the war-torn streets. Intricately carved furniture adorned the spacious chamber, and maids moved gracefully, their eyes widening in surprise at Hiroto's newfound consciousness.
Held high in the firm, warm grip of a man with a kind face, Hiroto felt a sense of security that had eluded him in his previous life. The man's voice resonated with a deep, soothing timbre as he spoke, "Welcome, little one."
The handsome figure revealed himself as Father, introducing himself with the full name of Kaito Rokujou, a renowned Royal Knight of Astoria. His eyes held a blend of strength and kindness, and Hiroto felt an unspoken connection, as if the threads of fate had woven them together.
Surveying the room, Hiroto's eyes fell upon the bed where a lady with light sap green hair lay. She was the epitome of grace, a vision of maternal warmth. Her presence exuded a gentle strength, and Hiroto sensed a magic within her that transcended the visible spectrum.
She spoke with tenderness, "My dear, you've come to us after so long." Introducing herself as Mother, her full name revealed as Elysia Asahina, the Royal Mage of Astoria. Her eyes shimmered with a mix of curiosity and affection.
The couple exchanged glances, a silent conversation that spoke volumes about their shared understanding. Kaito addressed Hiroto, "You shall be known as Ryutaro, a name befitting one born into our family. You are our cherished son, destined for greatness."
Hiroto, now Ryutaro, felt a surge of emotions – confusion, gratitude, and an inexplicable sense of belonging. The room, filled with the richness of love and prosperity, whispered promises of a new beginning.
As Father and Mother embraced their newborn son, the echoes of war and orphaned pasts were replaced by the harmonious melody of a family's embrace, and Ryutaro's journey in this new life, rich with potential and magic, unfolded like the pages of an unwritten tale.
