The Dream of a Hero

In a peaceful village on the kingdom’s border, a young boy named Daiki Rinzo lives with his mother. Even as a child, he is fascinated by stories of knights—noble-hearted warriors who protect the people. But one tragic event will change his life forever...

When a minor monster attacks the village, spreading panic, Daiki finds himself trapped. Just as the beast is about to kill him, a knight clad in black and gold armor appears and slays the monster with overwhelming power. For Daiki, it’s a revelation. He sees in this knight the very embodiment of strength and justice.

From that day on, he swears to become a knight capable of protecting others—just like his savior.
