Synopsis

This novel will become a premium story on February 26. Thank you for your support!

Lino Caprio, the star prince of the Viola, Fiorentina’s rising star.

Fans call him “the Gazelle” for his nimble movements and delicate dribbling, and affectionately call him Lambie.

But no one knows that Lino really is a fluffy, cream-colored lamb who goes baa.

Every day, Lino works hard to hide his lamb’s tail and pass as an ordinary human. His daily routine consists of playing football, competing, and cuddling up to beautiful people~

All the Fiorentina fans eagerly await the day Lino takes over the captain’s armband and leads the club to new glories.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the club is on the brink of bankruptcy, and its star player and its prince are both put up for sale.

With offers from clubs pouring in, Lino remembers all the hearts he’s left scattered everywhere. “Do I really have to make this choice?”

404 is a succubus System.

But it not only got sent to the wrong world, it also got attached to the wrong Host.

404 watches the little lamb chomping away on a grass biscuit. “Is this a joke? Who’s supposed to be seduced by that?”

When it realizes it can’t contact the main System, 404 gives up and starts slacking off.

But as it slacks, it finds that the missions are somehow getting completed anyway?

Watching the little lamb flirt with everyone, 404 patiently instructs him: “Host, remember: teammates are teammates. You can’t make your teammate your wife!”

Lino: Got it!

Later

Watching Lino leave a trail of broken hearts, 404 lets out a piercing shriek. “I told you to be more restrained, not to sleep with people and then pretend you don’t know them!”

Lino: Hmph. I only made the same mistake every little lamb makes.

Reader’s Guide:

1. There’s romance, but it doesn’t take up much of the story. These are brief flings, and whoever ends up together is whoever it happens to be. The ending is open. The main focus is still football and everyday life.

2. The protagonist is Italian-Argentinian, but plays for Italy’s national team.

3. Clubs: Fiorentina → AC Milan → Chelsea.

4. Pure feel-good fluff with a bit of logic, but not much. Some real-life events will change; just think of it as a parallel world.

Theme: Love life.

A personal memo. Preferences: wish-fulfillment stories, no-romance stories, and stories without emotional baggage or gloomy self-torment. Will not read: playing dumb, male national-team football, or wholesome romance.

Soccer Fanfiction

This genre is a little niche. If the writing and plot have no major flaws, and the author even manages to finish the story, I'd call it a good book. Here are a few recommendations.
