Broken Ambition and New Life: Lucar's Battle for Redemption

Under Goenitz's control, Rugal's consciousness drifted in darkness. Only his determination to protect his son remained. Before losing consciousness, he used the last of his strength to break out of the base. Stumbling to a street corner, he eventually collapsed beside a child.

That child was his long-lost son, Lu Shouhu. The boy found a blood-soaked man radiating the aura of a powerful fighter, whose appearance overlapped with the image of the '98 boss in his memories. After Rugal woke, the shadow of his manipulation had not yet faded. But at the child's call, he regained a sliver of clarity and accepted the identity of "father."

From then on, Lu Shouhu became the light illuminating his abyss. A battle to save a father and thwart Goenitz's schemes quietly began, all under the guise of silent protection.
