"THE PRIDE OF THE LION."

Everything begins in a void, a small soul finds itself floating in this immense emptiness.

This soul belongs to a man named Aaron. He was an ordinary person, nothing interesting beyond his hobby of hacking role-playing video games to make them easier. At this moment, his soul is in a state of hibernation, his sudden death due to a car crash after returning from work.

Suddenly, the void where Aaron's soul resides seems to change in some way; everything becomes even quieter, if that's possible in any way.

Suddenly, a large roulette wheel appears in the vastness of the void, advancing until it is in front of Aaron's soul. As the roulette seems to be contemplating Aaron's soul, giant letters form in front of Aaron's soul.

"THE MOMENT OF REINCARNATION HAS BEGUN."

After the appearance of this word, the void begins to tremble, and the large roulette wheel starts to spin.

In the slots of the roulette, multiple names appear as the roulette gains speed. If Aaron were conscious, he would recognize some names like 'Sheldon Cooper,' 'Bruce Wayne,' or 'Peter Parker,' but there would also be a greater number of names he wouldn't recognize.

After a few moments, the roulette slows down and lands on a name, 'Escanor.' Shortly after, an image of a imposing man appears in front of Aaron's soul before turning into golden particles and entering Aaron's soul.

A new series of words appears in front of Aaron's soul.

"YOUR COMPANION FOR YOUR NEW LIFE"

And just like before, the void begins to tremble as the wheel starts to spin again, new names appear on the wheel, but also names of objects and many others like "Excalibur", "Nami", "Dragon Balls," etc.

The roulette stops again on a slot with the name 'Magic Armor,' and the image of a golden armor (similar to Aioria's Divine Armor but with a full-body helmet) appears once more in front of Aaron's soul before turning into golden particles and entering Aaron's soul.

The large roulette begins to become translucent until it disappears, and the void returns to calmness as Aaron's soul starts to acquire faint traces of golden colors around it. A tear forms beneath Aaron's soul and begins to draw it in until it absorbs it.

Shortly after Aaron's soul disappeared, a new soul reappears, and the void trembles again as the roulette appears once more.

-KINGDOM OF CASTELLIO-

-July 1st-

The scene unfolds in the grand birthing chamber of the imposing castle of the Castellio Kingdom. Inside, the Queen, draped in royal robes, gives birth with the assistance of the royal physicians and court ladies. The King, anxious yet filled with pride, watches with anticipation as he awaits the birth of his second child.

As the baby enters the world, a radiant golden light bursts through the window, bathing the chamber in a celestial glow. The knights of the royal guard, who stand outside the chamber, kneel in reverence before the magical power emanating from the newborn.

Cuando el bebé entra al mundo, una radiante luz dorada irrumpe a través de la ventana, bañando la cámara con un resplandor celestial. Los caballeros de la guardia real, que se encuentran fuera de la cámara, se arrodillan en reverencia ante el poder mágico que emana del recién nacido.

With tears of emotion in her eyes, the Queen takes the baby in her arms and presents him excitedly to the King who stands by her side,the King, with a radiant expression of joy on his face, holds newborn Escanor carefully in his arms. The baby, wrapped in soft blankets, looks around with curiosity in his large bright eyes.

With a resonant and sincere laugh, the King cradles the baby tenderly as he marvels at his tiny fingers and wisps of hair. The Queen, by his side, smiles with love and tenderness as she watches the scene, deeply moved.

The golden rays of the sun stream through the treetops from the window, bathing the scene in a warm and comforting light. Birds sing cheerful melodies from nearby branches, creating an atmosphere of serenity and happiness,Court nobles and servants watch from a distance, admiring the scene with awe.

The mother turns to the King and asks softly, "My love, what name shall we give to our precious son?"

The King, with eyes shining with joy, takes the Queen's hand tenderly and responds with a voice full of affection, "I believe we should name him Escanor. A noble and powerful name for a son destined for great deeds."

The Queen nods with gratitude and affection, feeling in her heart that the name Escanor will carry with it the promise of a bright and heroic future for their beloved son.

Thus, amidst an atmosphere of wonder and reverence, Escanor is born, the future hero of the Castellio Kingdom, destined to be known as the mightiest of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Meanwhile, in the mind of the young Escanor, who gazes upon the scene, only one word repeats in his mind: "What the hell just happened?!"
