The System Won't Let Me Slacken Off

Completed novels: Tennis in an Unscientific World, Is Tsuchima Dating Today?, and Muichiro Who Plays Tennis

[I've revised the blurb. It's been such a long time, and although I have outlines for the last two worlds, it's hard to keep writing them. I'll finish the first world over the next few days.]

Tsukiyama Kazuya died, then came back to life.

The System bound to him told him that he could stay alive as long as he gathered enough energy.

[Character type selected: Obsessed with old-school novels]

You are a rising star in the literary world, and literature shines once more because of you.

One day, everyone suddenly realizes that the new generation of literature is no longer in a slump. They trace it back to the source, and finally leave behind a line: "From the day he appeared, the night sky was no longer lonely."

"A bird flew over the sea and fell deeply in love with its own reflection on the surface. Only after flying over the mountains did it realize that it wasn't a bird. It was the sea itself.

The bird wasn't a bird, and the sky and sea weren't the sea. A love story, after all, should end with love."

Excerpt from A Beautiful House

Lastly, here's an interview with Teacher Bingwu from the hospital:

A: "Teacher Bingwu, your two friends have such distinct personalities."

Bingwu: "Yes. Although we've never met, they are part of a dream I've had. It has stayed with me from my youth until now, never once absent. When I close my eyes, I hear the sound of glasses clinking in a toast in my mind, and the faces and voices of my old friends guide me onward.

This is in memory of the two best friends who never existed in this world.

And I also want to ask them: Please don't leave me alone."

Excerpt from The Three of Us

"One, two, three, three, two, one. Every household has a kitty, its smooth fur is a brook, and the eyes in the sky sparkle."

"The warm little brook flows on and on. The stars in the sky open and close their eyes. Oh dear, they've closed their eyes."

"The wind stops blowing, the clouds stop moving. The cat's shadow dances and dances, then lands on the ground with a drip-drip."

Excerpt from The Samurai and the Cat
