REBIRTH
<In a delivery room>
It had been one of the easiest deliveries the experienced doctor had to make and he was very thankful for it. As the attending head doctor for the prestigious Yoshimura clan, any inconveniences were troublesome to say the least. The 42nd head was a just man but a ruthless grandfather, under him the reach and prestige of the clan had spread worldwide.
His son Yoshimura Katsuro had married the only daughter of a supposed Italian Mafioso group Napolitano, Alysia. The room was filled with who's who of both groups as they witnessed the birth of their Heir.

<MC POV>, {ONE YEAR LATER}
I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. I saw my mother cradling me. She seemed of a European heritage. Looking at the man near her he was surely of Asian descent. Both of them were extremely good looking and thus I have high hopes for my future. I seem to have forgotten completely the personal details of my previous life but have been able to carry on the feelings from the past. But it will not do me well to dwell on the past feelings and as such I should live my new life to the utmost best. I notice the guards standing outside our door when I saw my father leaving, presumably to call someone.
What followed later was nothing short of a loud tussle. Two out of breath old grandpas rushed in and looked completely dazzled upon seeing me. They started arguing about something and as the conversation was heating up, a gentle 'ahem' was heard throughout the room. The change was instantaneous as the next words brought a chill down everyone's spine, "please stop bothering my son or I'll be forced to act." I never could understand how such a simple sentence could cause sweat to appear on the two oldies faces as my mother seemed saintly. I don't remember much of what happened next as I gently dosed off to sleep to the melodious singing of my mother.

<TWO AND A HALF YEARS LATER>
<MC POV>
I have been in this world for the past two years and I have to say, having a loving and caring family is the best gift one can ask for. My two granddads are extremely strict but I know those two are just putting up a face as how could someone who competed for being my horse be that strict. But I know that public appearance and private life are two different worlds and there's a need to act according to every situation. A brief overview of my family,

APPERANCE
I was named as Yoshimura Masahiko, the heir of both Yoshimura and Napolitano households. Both of my families are well known throughout the world. The Napolitano are known for their weapons trade and philanthropic work. They are respected for helping and looking out for the citizens as well dealing with the troublesome ones in not so subtle ways. The Yoshimura are the forefront in Virtual technology and biomedical fields. They own huge plots of land which are solely focused on sustainable plantations in the Nagano prefecture. The mountains provide a great home base. I decided to display my talents as early as possible since having such a secure background helps deter any potential difficulties. I started walking and talking around the time when I was a year old.
The libraries in our house were being routinely visited by me accompanied by our head butler Sebas-san or Head maid Grayfia-San. The first things I learnt were the Japanese and Italian languages as they were the most important for communicating. Upon coming into this world I had a plan to go thru. Also thanks to my background I can pick it up a notch and do as great as possible.
1]. be a once in a generation genius and try to learn as much as possible. I was pleasantly surprised to see that sports where very highly developed in this world. I was interested in sports in my previous life as well, but due to the super powered nature of sports in this world I wanted to become an athlete. If everything goes well I would be a pro volleyball player but I would have to end my career at some point and wanted to have stability in the future.
2]. Try to further the medical capabilities of this world and get the new innovations years prior as it would help to save more lives. Due to my current situation this can also help increase the prestige and reputation of both my families.
3]. be the absolute best in volleyball. It should be my grateful act towards R.O.B and also my previous life as it helped me get all those wishes. If even after all that I don't wipe the floor with everyone, it will bring great disappointment to me.
The boons I wished for will not only help me in volleyball but also my various day to day activities. Perfect mind and body control will help with learning various things and mastering the execution of them quite effectively. Emperor's Eye can be used to spot defects or if trained to a high enough level be used to spot weakness or irregularities in machinery or formulae, provided there is sufficient knowledge stored in my brain. It can also help pick the most efficient route for solving problems. Therefore it is of paramount importance that I use my abilities and train them both on and off the court.
Now growing up in an affluent household might have its own set of problems but it has its advantages. I never had a want of anything and the environment, tho forcing kids to mature faster, makes them ready to face anything. I have learnt much about my family in the previous two years. The males seem to suffer from aggressive tendencies and it was quite a revelation. Most of them seem to be the epitome of calm and collected but when they go 'berserker' state their physical parameters seem to go up a notch. Granddad's an archer and dad's a boxer. Both get quite ruthless while competing. This may prove to be an additional boon that R.O.B may have been talking about. The thing which interest me the most are the superpowers in this world:
Hinata's 'Demonic Explosiveness' or Oikawa's 'Court General' are actual abilities which help them to become the players that they are. These abilities tho are extremely rare, it just shows that the moniker monster generation was not just for show. It is extremely hard for players who don't have either Godly physical specs or some ability to thrive in the professional scene. Certain abilities have to be developed thru extreme hard work and due to laziness players who have great potential might not be able to make it into the Pro Circuit.
For E.g.: Kenma could have developed 'Belial's eye', the ability Nash had in knb movie. His court vision and setting abilities kept evolving but since his determination and discipline did not keep up he couldn't fully awaken it.
Another example would be Tendou, tho he had been blessed with the ability 'Guess Monster', he was more interested in becoming a chocolatier and thus his ability became less proficient and went dormant. He could awaken it again and it would be easier to do so as he already used it before.
So, it would be wise not to slack off and give 200% every time and in everything. Hard work was something I was used to and decided to carry on with the practice in this life as well.
____________________________________________
(A couple months later)
There was a lot of hustle bustle in the Yoshimura household as Alysia and Katsuro were expecting again. Masahiko had been showing genius level capabilities. He was a real quick learner and had learnt to read and write a year ago, by now he was fluent in both Japanese and Italian as well as was quite mature and well-mannered for his age. Tho he was the epitome of the perfect heir, he did have his childish moments. The prime example of this would be when his parents told him that he would be an elder brother, he spent solid 15 minutes jumping around the house, when he realized that everyone was staring at him with smiles on their faces.

Author's Explanations
The MCs memories of his past life are like a movie. They will not clash with his personality and tho he'll still be mature for his age his childishness will shine thru during family moments.
A disclaimer to all those who would like a particular type of player or high school:
THE MC WILL GO KAMOMEDAI AND WILL BE SECOND YEAR BY THE TIME CANON STARTS. HE'LL HAVE AN OG LOVE INTREST AND THERE WON'T BE A HAREM. HE'LL PLAY OPPOSITE HITTER.
I would still like for everyone to read but if someone came here for certain particularities I will not needlessly waste your time. I will write the book to the best of my abilities and though I can't guarantee it will be a master piece it'll be a good read for sure.
