n a large villa by the sea, an old man sat on a chair, watching television. The sound of the waves echoed along the shore, but the old man continued to watch and listen to the television, seemingly indifferent to the noise around him.

"Today, the world has learned sad news. A music star passed away a week ago. You may be wondering who it is... Well, it turns out it's the wife of Malik Bennani, the famous Moroccan football player who revolutionized the sport and led the first African country to win a World Cup. Now 70 years old, he has just lost his wife, and his own health is deteriorating. We offer our deepest support to this football legend, and we mourn the passing of his wife, the K-pop star…"

'Bzzzt.'

The old man turned off the TV, keeping his gaze fixed on the now black screen before turning toward the readers and speaking.

"You're wondering who I am, aren't you?"

"Hahaha. And now you're wondering how I'm even talking to you?"

"Well, it's simple. I'm not from this world... or rather, this world is a parallel to the real one."

"Pffff... to put it simply, I was originally from the real world, but I died, and I was given a chance to reincarnate wherever I wanted: anime, manga, webtoons..."

"And now you're thinking I'm stupid because I could've chosen any world and lived out the dream most people have, but I didn't want that."

"I mean, isn't the human world incredible?"

"So, I decided to reincarnate into a world just like the real one, with no historical changes."

"Oh, I almost forgot! In my previous life, my name was Kira Masaru. I was half Korean and half Japanese, but in this world, my name is Malik Bennani…"

"…Yes, I'm the same Malik Bennani they were talking about on the news. In this world, I was reincarnated as a Moroccan. For those who don't know, that's in Africa—a country with the best food in the world according to media and chefs."

"I also became a football legend and married a K-pop idol, but I won't tell you who—it's a surprise! Hahaha!"

"Of course, I was granted three wishes, as long as they were acceptable in this world. So, I chose abilities that allowed me to dominate the world of football."

"For my first wish, I asked to have Bachira's technique from Blue Lock."

"For my second wish, I asked for Nagi's talent from Blue Lock."

"And for my third wish, I asked for Isagi's Metavision from Blue Lock. Hahahahaha!"

"I know, I know, I'm a genius. Unfortunately, I didn't have Isagi's natural talent, so the Metavision remained at its basic level before the Neo League. Hahaha!"

"With these abilities, I became the strongest and most incredible player in football history."

"Hahahaha, I'm getting old. I talk too much, so I'll leave you here. After all, my end is near."

"I've had a long and amazing life, so…"

"…I'll let you discover for yourself the story of Malik Bennani… and his legend… the legend of the Magician… of the Lions… of the Atlas…"

After finishing his words, Malik's body went limp, and his breathing stopped, marking the end of Malik Bennani.
