(Scene 1: Birth)
One rainy night on the planet of nobles, inside the Lion family's palace, a strangely calm and unusually quiet child is born.
The child is named Saruto.
From the moment of his birth, the wise men notice that his aura is different from that of the other noble children, but it is hidden, as if "locked."
---
(Scene 2: Early Childhood – Age 3)
The other children in the palace run and play, while Saruto spends his time meditating and gazing at the sky.
The palace servants whisper:
> "He's a strange child… He doesn't cry much, he doesn't ask for anything… It's as if he thinks like an adult."
His father (the king of the Lion family) worries about him, while his mother sees him as "special."
---
(Scene 3: Age 5)
Simple training exercises begin for the noble children in the courtyard.
Saruto appears to be physically weak compared to the others, but he is very observant.
One of the noblemen's sons bullies him, calling him weak, but Saruto calmly replies with a phrase that sticks in his mind:
> "True strength isn't measured by your muscles… it's by how well you endure when you lose everything."
The servants marvel at his precocious maturity.
---
(Scene 4: Age 7)
One night, he hears a voice in his sleep…
> "You are the heir… When the time comes, the Lion Power within you will awaken."
He wakes up startled but tells no one.
From that night on, he begins to have recurring dreams of ancient ruins and dragon battles.
---
(Scene 5: Age 9)
Saruto accompanies his father on a tour of the family estate.
He witnesses the hardships of the peasants and ordinary soldiers and begins to ask his father difficult questions:
> "Why do we live in palaces while they toil day and night?"
His father is annoyed by his questions, but his mother smiles and says,
> "Perhaps he'll be different from the other kings."
---
(Scene 6: Age 10)
A significant incident: While the noblemen's sons are playing in the forest, a huge wild beast attacks.
Everyone runs away, leaving behind the young merchant's son.
Despite his fear, Saruto stands between the child and the beast, trying to protect him with a small stone!
Suddenly, a mythical aura erupts from his body for a brief moment, frightening the beast and causing it to flee.
Everyone wonders:
> "What kind of power is this?"
But then Saruto collapses, unconscious.
---
(Scene 7: Age 11 – Pre-Academy)
Preparations begin for entering the Noble Academy.
All the kings' sons boast about their strength, while Saruto remains calm, not sharing their arrogance.
One of his relatives mocks him, saying:
> "You won't last a day at the academy."
Saruto smiles coldly and replies:
> "We'll see… there, the truth will come out."
