Akiwara Ritsu is a boy, an "ordinary" teenager who accidentally gets a book from someone who looks just like him. The book lets him see parallel worlds.
It shows the paths his life will take from now until he turns twenty: a doctor, an athlete... Every life is different, but they all end with a death that comes all too easily.
Then he finds a timeline unlike all the others, one that represents "himself," only to discover that from the age of eighteen onward, it's filled with a stranger's name.
Akiwara Ritsu becomes intensely curious about the person behind that name. With a kind stranger's guidance, he finally meets the mysterious boy that summer at the junior high school tournament.
At the very first glance, he calls his guardian.
"Zero, I'm moving from Tokyo to Kanagawa. Yes, on my own."
Inspector Furuya, who was just telling four of his fellow rookies that the kid had grown up: ?
Yukimura, future winner of four Grand Slams, is twenty-five years old, male, and currently in the middle of an absolutely spectacular rebirth.
One moment, he's on the podium with a trophy in hand, ready to propose to the love of his life, whom he's been with for six years. He's about to reach the pinnacle of his life, but the next moment, he's back in the summer of his twelfth year.
Since he's here, he may as well make the best of it. Whether this is a miracle bestowed by heaven or not, now that he has another chance, he intends to make up for everything he couldn't do before, whether that's winning the Kanto title sixteen times in a row and three consecutive national championships, or the regret of meeting his beloved too late.
But when he follows his memories from his previous life and finds his future lover at the final of the Tokyo junior high school tournament, he meets a pair of eyes that show no surprise at all at his appearance.
The boy sits in the shade of a tree and reaches out to him. "Nice to meet you. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Yukimura: ?

One more note: rebirth means returning to the past to start over. Parallel worlds exist in this setting, but they are, in the absolute sense, the same person on the same timeline. The past, present, and future are all the same individual with the same soul. But if you look closely, this idea of a thousand faces is hard to define, since rebirth does change the choices made on the original timeline in a way. Please make sure you can accept this premise > <
I'll add more if I think of anything.
Also, here are some upcoming stories:
Coming Soon 1
Shikami Ri is an ordinary guy whose life philosophy is to eat, drink, have fun, and take things as they come. He's full of flaws in both literary and martial arts, and his catchphrases are "I want to die" and "I don't want to live anymore."
He thought his life would be calm and uneventful, and that he'd simply live it out without any fuss.
But ever since some black-haired guy with an M-shaped fringe hit him in the left cheek with a volleyball, then another black-haired guy with an M-shaped fringe hit him in the right cheek with a soccer ball, and finally he tripped over his own feet while clutching a racket and bowed to his big brother at a humiliating 180-degree angle, two things became his most hated things in life.
First, playing ball. Second, watching other people play ball.
But his big brother loves tennis, his online friend is passionate about volleyball... Even his brand-new gaming buddy is studying hard to get into a school famous for its tennis results, abandoning the one game that was their only way to bond!
Shikami Ri: I really do hate balls the most!
Before he can finish sulking, a mechanical voice suddenly rings in his head.
The System, ten years late, makes its grand entrance and immediately maxes out all his stats, adding fuel to his ongoing chuunibyou phase and trying to forge a path to godhood for him.
Shikami Ri opens his character panel and looks at the cheat that arrived late, wearing a sinister smile.
Tennis, volleyball, soccer, huh?
They say a gentleman can wait ten years to get revenge.
Now your gentleman is here!

This year, Rikkai enrolled two new students with extraordinary talent. They're so strong they could easily become starters at any school, making everyone else green with envy.
When those words reached Rikkai, a group of boys let out weary sighs and put on bitter smiles.
Everyone saw their glittering surface, but nobody looked at their increasingly aged faces and saw the hardship carved into them by time.
These two! They're demons, plain and simple!
One has no brains, the other is all smiles. One makes the moves, the other strikes. One takes the blame, the other takes the punishment.
According to Yanagi Renji's incomplete statistics, in the short month since enrolling, they've provoked their second- and third-year seniors thirty-eight times, sent Sanada fifteen challenge letters, and been running around until they were put in their place eight times...
Yukimura, whose workload has suddenly skyrocketed: ...
Do we really need these new students this year?

Shikami Ri: Only dogs like chasing balls.
Shikami Ri: Woof.
Coming Soon 2
How to Choose a School If You Want to Play Tennis
Hanami Nanae is an eleven-year-old boy who loves tennis and drawing. Having just graduated from elementary school, he faces a very troublesome question: where to go next.
His cousin says, obviously he should go to Hyotei Academy, which his cousin will lead to victory at the national tournament alongside the young master. His father says, Seigaku is my alma mater, isn't little Nana curious about it? His neighbor says, maybe Teitan is the obvious choice for him...
Little Hanami Nanae is overwhelmed by the sheer number of schools. In the end, at his mother's suggestion, he uses a simple, straightforward method to narrow down the options: matches.
A tennis enthusiast, Hanami Nanae takes his racket and visits every school to play. He beats every strong player at every school in Tokyo, then returns with a row of 6-0 victories and throws himself into his mother's arms, feeling wronged.
"Did they go easy on me because I'm young? Why were they so weak?"
The players who'd been handed a clean sweep: ...
Heaven above, please tell the truth and clear our names!
In the end, after agonizing over the choice for a long time, Hanami Nanae tells an online friend of five years about his dilemma. The other boy offers him another option:
"If you want to play against strong opponents, or if you want to become number one in the country, then come to Rikkai."
"We're last year's champions, after all ^_^"
And so Rikkai welcomed its second first-year junior.
This junior looks quiet and well-behaved, speaks gently, respects his teachers, and is polite. He's the complete opposite of the other first-year, who has seaweed hair and showed up at the tennis club spouting nonsense.
Marui touches his chest and says, with great relief, that Rikkai has struck gold with a buy-one-get-one deal...
Then he sees the well-behaved first-year pull out his racket. He's only a little weaker than their captain, can trade blows with the big guy Sanada, and easily smashes Kirihara into a flattened, compressed piece of seaweed.
Marui: ...
Raise his hand, and all he sees is the racket striking the ball again and again, dust flying, the ground caving in.
Lower his hand, and all he sees in his mind is the young boy bowing politely and speaking gently: "Hello, Marui-senpai. Should I hand in the application form here?"
Well... How could that not count as striking gold?

Yukimura has an online friend he's known for five years.
They've never met in person, but they get along and understand each other so well, it's as if they've been together every day. It's like the word "kindred" is etched into their very souls.
He once thought that if they ever got the chance, they would meet. After leaving behind the delicate internet connection, reality would surely shatter any barriers, real or imagined.
But he never expected that day to come so soon.
On the day the tennis club recruits new members, the boy before him is bathed in sunlight, warm as a blanket fresh from the dryer, his eyes curved in a smile.
"Hello. Should I say, 'Nice to meet you'?"
Coming Soon 3
The Savior Doesn't Look Like a Good Person
Wuyuan Lian is the savior from an old-fashioned fantasy story: the one who loved everyone, was weak-willed, had his heart, lungs, liver, and spiritual power torn out, and still had to seal the great demon lord with his own body. He's the epitome of "the whole world loved you after you died."
He finally finishes the story, saves the world, and gets bound to a System that appears out of nowhere. He's about to ascend and escape his original world's control so he can enjoy a life of quick transmigration, but before he's even completely dead, he's kidnapped by some weird thing called the "World's Will" and muddles into a new life of saving the world all over again.
System A-001, whose Host has been poached, glares furiously and transforms into a screaming chicken, determined to battle the World's Will for three hundred years. "How dare you steal my Host?!!"
Wuyuan Lian doesn't mind. It doesn't matter where he goes to save the world. He looks at the broken world, the people eyeing him with hostility, and the factions scheming against each other, and offers them a smile so practiced it makes your heart ache. "Hello..."
"Stop, "
A-001, who had been arguing with the World's Will, holds up a sign and starts teaching him on the spot. "Do you know what you're supposed to do now?"
Wuyuan Lian thinks about what he did in his old world and says hesitantly, "First, reason with them, then win them over with love...?"
"Zero points!"
A piece of chalk taps him on the forehead. A-001's voice is merciless as a dazzling warehouse opens its doors to him. "Find a weapon in there that suits you and go beat them up. If you can't, I'll ask the Main God to bend the rules for you."
Wuyuan Lian: ?
"What kind of nonsense is this about winning people over with love? You're the savior that They summoned."
"A savior is someone the whole world has to kneel and beg to save them!"
Wuyuan Lian: ???
And so, under the System's guidance...
1. Savior of History
After Base A-031 sent away eight corpses, a ninth person who wasn't afraid of death arrived.
The new Saniwa is beautiful and delicate, and looks like the sort who won't live long.
Mikazuki Munechika, the real leader of the Honmaru, sips his tea and guesses that this person won't survive the first night.
But then
With a bang, the hardened short sword who tried to assassinate the Saniwa is sent flying eight hundred miles away.
With a crash, the door to the Sanjo family's quarters is kicked open.
The new, delicate Saniwa stands before him, eyes so red they could drip blood. He looks more evil than the blades on the verge of corruption, and his words are just as ruthless. "I have no interest in your past, present, or future, and I don't want anything to do with you."
"The Time Government hired me to destroy the Retrograde Army and save history. If we can't leave each other in peace..."
He smiles terrifyingly. "I don't mind sending you to meet God first."
Mikazuki Munechika: ...
2. The Source of the Book
A new ability user has recently appeared in Yokohama. His abilities are unknown, but extremely powerful.
As expected, Mori Ougai, the leader of the Port Mafia, takes an interest in him and orders his strongest brain and greatest fighter to team up and recruit him.
But of course, he's too promising a talent for Mori to be the only one interested. With the Armed Detective Agency, the Special Division for Unusual Powers, and even the Decay of Angels trying to get involved, the situation becomes incredibly chaotic.
As schemes pile upon schemes, each one more intricate than the last, the ability user at the center of the storm chooses to...
Blow up half of Yokohama's five most famous buildings, then toss some Russian rice ball all the way to Siberia to grow potatoes (literally).
As everyone stares in stunned silence, he calmly lowers his hand and smiles faintly.
"I will not become anyone's tool. I came only to save the world."
"If you dare stand in my way, then come forward and fight me!"
He's an outside helper summoned by the Book to stitch back together this world, which has been stabbed into an utter mess. If anyone dares stand in his way, they can first ask the weapon in his hand whether it agrees!
You are the darling of the World's Will, a heaven-sent child born from the hopes of countless people, a savior who deserves the reverence and heartfelt gratitude of the masses.
Anyone who dares to stand in your way will be sent to the desert to farm!
A-001
