AGE: 13

LOCATION: Dortmund, Germany — BVB Youth Academy

BODY: Michael Kaiser

SOUL: You

[You open your eyes.]

The air hits colder than memory. Sharp. Real.

The faint smell of grass, disinfectant, and dried sweat lingers.

Cleats clack on concrete outside your dorm, mixed with shouts in German and the soft thud of a ball against brick in rhythmic intervals. Then—

[SYSTEM BOOTING…]

A translucent blue interface flashes before your eyes like a hologram projected directly into your vision.

"Welcome to the world of Blue Lock.

You are now Michael Kaiser, future ace of Bastard München.

Your destiny is in motion."

You blink.

No... I blink.

This isn't a dream. It's a reincarnation with a purpose.

I exhale slowly, fingers twitching involuntarily.

I glance down. My hands... smaller, yet sharp.

My calves twitch, responsive. My feet feel light, fast.

My posture feels different — confident but unfamiliar.

I'm Michael Kaiser, yes — but I'm me, behind the mask.

A quest notification blinks in my vision.

I focus, opening my interface.

A glowing, digital screen unfolds before me like an augmented reality projection.

Genesis Core

Your GENESIS STATS defy human limits for your age

I tighten the strap of my duffel bag and step into the cafeteria.

Teammates crowd around tables, laughing, eating, hyping each other up before practice.

I scan the room and instantly spot the three top dogs of the U14 elite squad — the power triangle.

I'll need their respect… or at least their recognition. Let's start the social war.

LEON SCHULTZE – THE SILENT ARCHITECT

Central Midfielder | Vision Genius | Tactical Core

He's sitting in the back corner alone, glasses sliding down his nose, sketchpad in hand. Not art — field diagrams.

I approach slowly. He looks up.

His gaze is calculating, curious.

"Kaiser," he says flatly. "You're fast… but do you see?"

He flips his notebook toward me.

"4v4 scenario. Press trap. You're the pivot. Solve the shape."

I narrow my eyes and scan the diagram. In my head, I visualize rotations. Time slows.

🧠 [SYSTEM CHECK: Tactical IQ + Vision]

ROLL: SUCCESS

"Fake the overload," I mutter, tracing an invisible triangle mid-air. "Drag the press left, switch tempo right. Exploit the rotation gap."

Leon's eyebrow twitches.

"…You've got a predator's eye," he mutters. "Grow it. I'll be watching."

I offer a nod and step past him.

HAKIM DOUMBIA – THE UNTAMED BEAST

Winger / Striker | Côte d'Ivoire | Ego Sprinter

Footsteps thunder behind me near the gym corridor. A blur whips by.

Hakim spins around in front of me, flashing a sharp grin.

"Yo, 'Golden Boy.' You fast…" he slams his boots down. "But I'm lightning."

He jabs a finger at me. "20 meters. Now. Let's see who's real."

Another test. Good. I wanted one.

I smirk.

"Hope you're ready to eat wind," I whisper.

[SYSTEM ROLL: GENESIS SPEED CHALLENGE]

OUTCOME: DOMINANT VICTORY

I explode forward. My legs strike the ground like pistons. Hakim fades behind me like a memory.

I flick the ball up with my heel mid-stride and let it spin off my shoulder behind me — just to show him the gap.

Hakim laughs, panting.

"Sheeesh. You ain't just fast — you're different."

He bumps fists with me. Hard. "Let's be monsters together."

I nod. And walk on.

JULIAN FÖRSTER – THE WALL

Center Back | Captain | Alpha Grit

He's running defense drills outside, barking orders.

The moment our eyes meet, his voice booms.

"KAISER!" he shouts. "You play like lightning… but think like clouds!"

He gestures. "Come at me. Right now."

I sigh under my breath.

Can no one just say hello around here?

Ball flies toward me. I trap it instinctively and stare him down.

Mini 1v1 begins. He shadows me perfectly.

I feint once. He doesn't bite.

I flick right — he covers.

Time to dance.

I roll the ball under my sole, wait for his step, then pivot.

With a delicate flick behind his planting leg, I snap it past.

He twists — but too late.

Julian freezes, winded. Then…

He grins.

"You're cocky, but sharp. Don't let that arrogance rot your brain."

I won't. I earned this arrogance.

I flash a grin back — then bolt away before someone else tries to challenge me.

[SYSTEM UPDATE]

✅ Gained respect from all three core players.

✅ Chamber token acquired.

I duck into the bathroom and splash cold water on my face.

The mirror shows a boy of 13.

But in the eyes?

A soul that's seen another world. Another life.
