The Athletic Demon King Has Arrived!

Going VIP on October 23! Anti-theft set to 40%. Bonus baseball arc: 35% complete. Parallel Lives is a game produced by Millefiore, and the player is a devoted fan. The game is all about training through sports. After one playthrough of getting brutally beaten up by NPCs, the player's skills are on a whole new level. So he decides to start a second playthrough and take on the challenge again. Baseball arc! Second playthrough. In the player's ideal scenario, he becomes an incredibly powerful pitcher, single-handedly unites and leads his team, and gets them a ticket to Koshien! But reality is always harsher than imagination. With his team short on players, the player faces a task even more challenging than becoming a pitcher. He needs a... Catcher! Well, looks like he'll have to do it himself... Volleyball arc! After everything he learned in his first playthrough, the player has fallen in love with the feeling of spiking the ball. This time, he plans to work toward becoming high school's top ace and winning the Spring High championship with his team! Dance arc! After playing so many ball games, it's time to unwind with some relaxing dance and give his body a break. Huh... wait, why is this a duet? And why is this dance every bit as intense as a ball game? Where's my partner? I need you! Looks like he'll have to find a partner before he can dance. Warnings and reader's guide. 1. The player's gender is the player's gender, but in this story the player is male. No gender-bending. 2. The opening borrows a few elements from my last story. The pacing is on the slow side. I'll write everything mentioned in the blurb, though it may include more than these three arcs. 3. Some parts involving the original plot can't be written as-is, so certain details may be adjusted, such as changing opponents or rearranging the match lineups, to avoid duplicating the source material. The third playthrough is a ballroom dance arc with a female partner. It may include some scenes where the partner admires the player, so feel free to skip this arc if that's not your thing. 4. I probably won't write the Koshien arc. 5. Most of the sports knowledge and rules come from anime, video explainers, and online research. I'm not a professional, so there may be errors or stream-of-consciousness passages. Feel free to point out any mistakes, and I'll fix what I can. 6. The protagonist is incredibly strong, but being strong alone doesn't win team sports. Check out my other story: Why Do Adults Become Saviors? [Crossover] Life is one big makeshift operation. No one knows what will happen next. Take Wen Zhao, for example. She had just graduated from university and was about to become an office drone when her peaceful daily life was abruptly upended one day. A talking fox appeared before Wen Zhao, looking gravely concerned, and told her the world was about to be destroyed and she was its savior. And that wasn't the end of her troubles. After the fox showed up, a boy Wen Zhao had once helped turned up too, calling her "Mommy! Mommy!" So Wen Zhao, who wasn't married, hadn't dated, and hadn't even become an office drone yet, was hit with several distressing pieces of bad news and one piece of good news. Bad news: She had to go save the world, but the organization responsible for saving it had gone silent. Her only partners were a powerless fox and a boy who looked like a chuuni. Bad news: Her first mission to save the world was to beat up zombies, but all her partners had gone missing. Good news: She found two more superpowered boys in this world. They were on the same team as the boy she'd already met, and the three of them were triplets who all called her "Mommy! Mommy!" Wen Zhao was delighted to acquire two helpers and three "sons." Bad news: All three are problem children. They never learn, have no sense of right and wrong, and think that as long as they don't get caught, they haven't broken the law. To avoid having to bail them out of jail, Wen Zhao ends up saving the world while trying to straighten out these problem children. Who knows when this life will finally end? Only heaven knows. Hopefully, she'll manage to save the world... Theme: Passion comes from perseverance.
