The Athletic Guy, Sweetness Level: 100%!

"Parallel Lives" has recently launched its ninth-generation PUSL bonus edition. Building on the original, it adds Speedrun and Custom Settings modes as a thank-you to longtime players.

In the first mode, you can skip the tedious, painful conquest process and jump straight into a relationship, enjoying the thrill of being pursued by your target.

The second mode lets you add different world settings on top of the original universe, so players can experience a different flavor. (P.S. This mode is still being refined, so there may be a few bugs.)

You're a devoted player of "Parallel Lives." You bought the game as soon as the ninth generation came out and played for a while, then moved on to the tenth generation and finished it. When you saw the ninth generation had a new mode, you returned to the game.

First playthrough

Player eagerly awaiting a romance × black-haired, sour-faced guy with baseball on the brain

Weren't we supposed to enjoy the thrill of being pursued once we became a couple?

Why am I playing in the national junior high baseball tournament, and why did we win?

Oh no, he only got together with me because he wanted a catcher. I've been conned!

Second playthrough

Having learned their lesson the hard way, the player decides to date a Haikyuu!! boy × a genuinely sour-faced guy who's not on tour!

Different playing field this time. Surely nobody's going to drag me into volleyball and trick me into being their catcher (opposite hitter)!

Oh no, this guy's dating me to steal my volleyball skills!

Third playthrough

Fed up with ordinary life, the player decides to go big.

A beautiful girl dropped into another world × a conceited, handsome setter (childhood friend is a bonus)

Damn it, why does this guy have it so rough? Get him to nationals!

The world will see Mr. Oikawa one day!

Content warnings:

1. Although the official pairing for each playthrough is marked, that doesn't mean the player only pursues that character. The one marked is simply the primary partner for that playthrough.

2. This is an otome novel, with a popular-with-everyone protagonist. If that's not your thing, please don't read it or flame me.

3. I've never written a popular-with-everyone story before, so it might be pretty rough, but I want to give it a try.

4. The player is versatile, and the player's gender is also up to the player. The settings don't merge, and their personality may change slightly each playthrough. It really is like playing a game.

5. The blurb only mentions three playthroughs, but there will probably be more than three characters. The story will mainly feature sports anime, without supernatural power settings, except for special scenarios where only the player has powers. The characters I want to write about are still undecided.
