Ryoma Takeda was once a rising star in the ring, an Interhigh champion, a golden boy with fists of promise. But one bitter loss on his pro debut shattered his confidence. A freak accident soon after stole his leg.

His career vanished. His fiancée left him. And all he had left were reruns of that one damn fight… and a hundred different regrets.

Then, just as he hits rock bottom, fate does the unthinkable. He wakes up ten years in the past, on the very night of his first professional match.

But this time, something’s different.

[System Initialized: Vision Grid Active]
“Your eyes see the truth beneath motion. Use it well.”

Armed with the Vision Grid System, a combat-assist module that turns his visual perception into tactical mastery, Ryoma now has a second chance.

To fix his mistakes.
To chase the career he lost.
To protect the mother he failed.
To fulfill the hopes of those who refused to give up on him.
And to finally become the man they always believed he could be.

But boxing isn't just a sport. It's war of bodies, of minds, of hearts.

And Ryoma Takeda is done losing.

His balance wavers, boots scraping across the canvas as he staggers back two uneven steps. Somehow, he stays upright.


But Park Hyun-seok doesn't let him breathe for even a heartbeat. He surges forward, gloves already in motion.


Kenta tucks his chin and brings both arms up, folding into a tight shell. And Park hammers at him immediately.


Each punch slams into Kenta's guard, shoving him backward until his spine grazes the ropes.


The moment Park feels the resistance of the cable behind Kenta, he changes angles, dipping and hooking hard to the sides.


The blows rattle Kenta's ribs even through his elbows. Park lifts his gloves again and smashes them into Kenta's arms, pinning his guard high.


Then he switches again, body, head, body.


On the red corner, Nakahara leans over the top rope, voice sharp but calm.


"Kenta! Don't let him take it for free. Throw something back!"
