Keeping Myself Alive with the Tennis System!

When her life was hanging by a thread, Kirishima Yuxun was approached by three Systems.

Dear reader, are you worried that your days are numbered?

Do you regret that you’ll die young without ever seeing all the beautiful sights this world has to offer?

The System world has just launched three brand-new Systems. Complete their tasks, and extending your life will be a breeze!

Gold System: Use your Host’s beauty to play the heroine of a tragic romance and collect regret points. It’ll be a piece of cake!

Silver System: Use your Host’s intelligence to play a villain and oppose the protagonist. Easy as can be!

Bronze System: Use your Host’s health… I don’t recommend choosing me, since I’m an exercise System.

Kirishima: “Thanks for the offer. I choose the Bronze System.”

This Bronze System, also known as the “Tennis Skills Growth System,” claimed it could help her survive, but she would have to keep growing and challenging stronger opponents.

She agreed.

A new girl joined the Rikkai Girls’ Tennis Club.

At first, she was only average, but she improved at a startling pace, and each opponent she challenged was stronger than the last.

Kirihara: “You want to challenge me? What a joke! I’m the ace.”

After the match, he threatened, “Next time, I’ll definitely beat you!”

Sanada: “You’re far too lax!”

After the match, he lowered the brim of his cap. “Still far too lax.”

Yukimura: “You want to challenge me? All right, then.”

After the match, he smiled gently. “Kirishima really is someone full of hope.”

People called Kirishima a “tennis philosopher” because she was always coming out with memorable lines on the court.

They had no idea she was simply bringing the insights she’d once gained into her tennis.

“Every move has a weakness.”

“Cleave your chaotic existence toward the clarity of inevitability!”

“If you can’t go mad, you can’t survive

Today, I choose to survive.”

As she shone on the court, she gradually drew everyone’s attention.

They asked her why she had chosen tennis.

She smiled softly.

“Because tennis is my life.”

And that’s the honest truth.

1. The heroine is highly talented and hardworking, and improves at an incredible pace.

2. The heroine is a magnet for admirers. The main story has an open ending, while the extra chapters have separate endings. Some romantic interests go unrequited and have no resolution.

3. Philosophical elements appear now and then. I’ll do my best to keep them accurate, so please kindly point out anything that’s off.

4. The story includes U-17. Proceed with caution if that’s not your thing.

5. The author has only watched the anime, so the setting is based mainly on the anime.
