If someone had told Kitagawa Rin that gods were passionately infatuated with fictional characters, she would have scoffed and rolled her eyes to show how much she disbelieved them and how ridiculous she found it.
After all, she had never even watched anime. How could a god possibly be so bored?
That was before she was inexplicably chosen by a mother goddess with the same face as her, and sent to save the beloved characters who had died young.
"So, which one is your mother goddess's beloved character?" She reluctantly accepted the situation and asked System 007, which had been bound to her.
"Every single one..." 007 replied cautiously, rubbing its hands together.
"…"
Kitagawa Rin was numb. The gods sure did love everyone.
[World One: One Piece]
The three ASL brothers who had grown up with her eventually took different paths. To protect Ace, who carried the bloodline of the Pirate King, Kitagawa Rin chose to become a Marine.
Years later, they met again at sea. The black-haired, freckled boy waved at Kitagawa Rin, his eyes sparkling as he introduced someone. His smile was radiant as sunshine.
"Rin, this is my old man."
Kitagawa Rin furrowed her brow and gripped the long sword at her waist, on high alert.
Wasn't Ace's dad the Pirate King? So the silly kid went to sea, got sucked into a pyramid scheme, and even took someone as his dad?
So... what she really had to do was rescue a member of the D. bloodline who'd been tricked into a pyramid scheme?
[World Two: Naruto]
While being transported to Konoha, Kitagawa Rin unexpectedly ran into Uchiha Itachi, who had just wiped out his entire clan.
Seeing the blood-soaked man surrounded by a murderous aura, Kitagawa Rin, still weak at the time, immediately bowed politely and took three steps back. "Sorry to bother you. Please let me go. I didn't see anything."
Years later, she joined the Akatsuki. The eldest young master spoke coldly.
"What, did you come for revenge?"
Kisame slapped his shoulder hard, waggling his eyebrows as he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"She followed you to Konoha, then followed you here to the Akatsuki, and you still ask why? Itachi, she's here to chase after you!"
Kitagawa Rin:…
Following you to save you and following you because I'm in love with you are two very different things... Right, eldest young master?
[World Three: Bleach]
Taking a lesson from Naruto, where she followed Itachi into the villainous Akatsuki, Kitagawa Rin decided she would stick to the right path this time and never join any crooked organization.
That was until she sat in Hueco Mundo, miserably drinking one jar of sake after another, and despairingly scratched her head as she faced Ichimaru Gin.
"Why do kind, tragic people like you always have to join some organization or other?"
Ichimaru Gin: Kind, tragic person? Who?
Wait... you people?

[Reading Guide]
1. This story is expected to be 400,000 words. It grew from an urgent idea the author had years ago, after all their favorite characters died: bring them back to life. There are already 300,000 words written. For now, updates are planned four times a week. Once the previous book is finished, updates will be daily.
2. The heroine is not conventionally kind. She has no golden finger early on. After gaining strength through various experiences later, she gradually becomes assertive, combative, and fiercely protective of her own. Only the people who matter to her are in her eyes. If you dislike a cold and rational heroine like this, please look elsewhere.
3. The main story is entirely about saving people, with no romantic pairing. It gives the author and readers a world where no popular character has been killed off. The extras might possibly include a pairing.
Note: The blurb and original idea date back to 2019.
Theme: Save every beloved character who died too soon.
