In the Name of Victory

Losing the National Tournament and seeing his sixteen-year streak of dominance at the Kanto Tournament come to an end became a knot Yukimura Seiichi could never untie. Rikkai had gone from being the guardians of victory to challengers. Then his illness relapsed, and the burden became too much. As the Child of God fell into an endless sleep, Yukimura Seiichi glimpsed a corner of the truth: the world he lived in came from a tennis manga. The ending of his life had been arranged long ago, beyond his sight. As a villain, he was destined to lose. The absurdity of reality made him question it. He refused to let such a reason invalidate the tennis he had fought for with his life. Then a miracle happened. The Child of God, who had never been favored by the gods, finally received their blessing. When he opened his eyes again, he was back in elementary school, just as everything was beginning. In this life, Yukimura Seiichi believes firmly in his path in tennis. If fate is unfair, he will break it. In the name of being forever undefeated, he will forge Rikkai's glory, win every match, and make this life worthwhile. (Absolutely centered on Yukimura. I want to give the Child of God everything he deserves: Rikkai's sixteen consecutive Kanto titles and three consecutive national titles, with no weak spots.) (There will be some original elements, all in service of the plot.) Theme: A spirited young man fears no fate
