Good news: I’m alive, and I’ve returned to the day before Neuer took my job.
Bad news: I died, and a little brat calling itself the Life Extension System told me I’d die for good if I couldn’t make saves.
Winnie: "How long does one penalty save buy me?"
Xiao Xiong: "A month."
Winnie (horrified): "...Is the 996 work grind popular in the System world too?"
In my last life, I slacked off at Bayern. This time, to stay alive, Winnie packed his bags overnight and jumped ship to Dortmund.
Don't ask. Dortmund's defense is a grand stage. If you've got a dream, come on in.
Ask again and I'll say the xx System gave me no choice.
And so the Bundesliga's whole vibe changed.
The former "Bayern slacker goalkeeper" became a daredevil at Dortmund, diving for every ball he saw.
Fan: "Is he on some kind of stimulant?"
Winnie (making save after save as he wails): "No, I signed a life-threatening labor contract!!! And I was forced into it!!"
Then Winnie discovered that every night, when he fell asleep, he turned into a teddy bear and transmigrated through time, ending up in young Neuer's arms as Neuer called him "baby."
Winnie: "???"
Neuer, you're into some wild stuff in private, huh?
So by day, Winnie obsessively studied the forwards' shooting habits, and by night, he secretly learned from the young Neuer who cuddled him.
Later, at national team training camp, Winnie clung desperately to Neuer's leg. "Xiao Xin! Please! Let me play in goal this match! Otherwise, tonight I'll turn into a teddy bear and crawl into your bed!"
Neuer: "???"
Later, Winnie was delighted to discover that his Life Extension System had merged with Neuer's stats!
Now, whenever Neuer made a save, Winnie could freeload some extra life too!
Winnie (rubbing his hands excitedly): "With this setup... could I live forever by freeloading off a few more... I mean, building up a few more goalkeepers' affection?"
Neuer (smiling as he pulls out a photo of the teddy bear): "Guess why I'm the only one who can extend your life."

Reading Guide:
1. Winnie has no bottom line. He's not a good person, but he's not a bad one either. He has eight fur babies to support, so his will to survive is extremely strong.
2. I don't even know what to write, since all I have right now is a synopsis. The protagonist's name is censored as a bunch of asterisks. I'm done for, even the name has copyright issues.
