In a game store, a teenager was watching an old display from behind a counter where a young man was sitting. He had shaggy white hair and bright crimson eyes. He wore a long-sleeved purple shirt, a closed black vest with yellow trim, navy blue pants and white boots with red lines.

"Hi, Aku. What can I do for you?" Asked the young man.

"Hi (Y/N), how much is it?" Aku asked, pointing to a The Awakening Zoo display.

"6,000 yen." (Y/N) replied, which shocked the teenager.

"What?! But you've got others with just as much booster and they're cheaper!" He said, pointing to a section of the store where the displays he was talking about were located.

"Because these are old extension displays that I keep aside to bring out later when they're more valuable. It's more expensive for the collector." (Y/N) explained, amused by the teenager's reaction.

"What do you do when you've only got one box left?" Aku asked.

"I'll show you all my techniques. (Y/N) smiled, taking the display from Aku. "So you're taking it?

"Yeah..." Aku sighed, taking the money out of his wallet. "Swindler."

"Thanks for the compliment." (Y/N) joked.

Once the display was sold, (Y/N) went about his day in peace, until the evening when he had to close up store. He was happy to finally be able to enjoy his Yu-Gi-Oh card collection in his living space in the back of the store, where he had a copy of every card released in its current version. He didn't care how rare they were.

But there was one deck that was close to his heart, which he kept preciously in a deck box, alongside his video library containing various DVD or blue ray boxed sets of various series, such as Fullmetal Alchemist and Kamen Rider Wizard.

But fate had decided to disappoint him, as a car accident in front of the store resulted in a car smashing through my bay window, sending him crashing into the wall, shards of glass flying everywhere. And the last thing he saw was a flash of light caused by the contact of two electrical cables.

-----------------------------------------------------

When he awoke, (Y/N) could see a brown ceiling and felt a comforting embrace. As his eyes adjusted to the new light, he could hear voices.

"Listen, darling, he's opening his eyes." Said a woman's voice.

"Who's talking... ? " he thought.

"Let me see." Said a man's voice.

"Awww, our precious little boy." Said the female voice.

"Wait.... I'm a baby... ? " (Y/N) thought as he could see himself in a mirror in the room he was in.

He was in the body of a baby with black hair and blue eyes next to what appeared to be his new parents.

His mother was a pretty young woman with shoulder-length silky black hair, a parted fringe on her right and wisps of hair in front of her ears.

As for his father, he had the stature of an old man with a fine moustache, beard and side-parted hair, which made (Y/N) worry about what he would look like as an adult.

He began his new life as the first son and second child of the Kagenou family, (Y/N) Kagenou.

"So, I really have been reincarnated into another world. Apparently, I'm the first son of a noble family in the countryside, barons, I think." (Y/N) thought.

As his parents spoke of his name, (Y/N) turned his head to see another baby on the bed, looking just like him, but with red eyes.
