A soccer prodigy dies suddenly, and then a guy calling himself a Dream-Fulfillment System latches onto him.
System: Your mission is to save teams in a slump across different timelines. Fail, and you'll be erased!
Ewan Bellbrook: Huh, I get a few extra years to play soccer for free.
World One: Arsenal's Glory
They sell their captain every year, fight for a top-four finish every year, and have seventy million in the bank but no decent lineup.
Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri, Robin van Persie, and Alex Song all leave one after another. Arsenal are headed for another trophyless season.
System: Your mission is to lead Arsenal to the Premier League title for the first time in 12 years!
Ewan looks at the mild-mannered, gray-haired Frenchman by the training pitch.
"All right."
Mission note: Please build a relationship of trust with head coach Arsene Wenger.
Ewan: ...
World Two: Manchester United Shine
After Ferguson retires, the Red Devils go through one upheaval after another, and their managers are a total joke.
System: Your mission is to help Manchester United win a domestic double this season!
Ewan: Sure.
Mission note: No emotional objective.
[System (in this world): But you can't have a huge fight with a teammate every three days and a massive row every other day! Host, please build a good relationship with Paul Pogba!
Ewan: ...Too late. Now, when I tell him to stop giving me the silent treatment, he thinks I'm challenging him to a fight.]
World Three: Rebuilding Milan
RedBird take over, Maldini is forced out, and all the team's key players are sold.
System: Your mission is to bring Milan the Big Ears for the first time in 18 years! Ewan, this world is pretty difficult...
System: Wait! What are you doing? Why did you use all your points to buy Milan?!
Ewan is huddled on Paolo Maldini's sofa, chewing a couple of bites of pizza as he replies calmly, "Didn't you tell me to build a familial bond with Paolo?"
World Four: Farewell, Manchester City
Four consecutive treble-winning seasons, but the team faces a rebuild, and Kevin De Bruyne is about to leave.
System: Your mission: Give De Bruyne a send-off worthy of him!
Ewan: He deserves that.
Mission note: After the final home game, run to him before the countdown ends.
Ewan: Countdown?
System: Forgot to mention, at the end of each world, you have only sixty seconds to say goodbye.
Ewan: ...
He always thinks he's just completing missions. But whenever the countdown begins, he runs.
Wenger thinks he's celebrating and waves with a smile.
Pogba thinks he's finally come to apologize and lifts his chin.
Maldini thinks he's saying goodbye and opens his arms.
De Bruyne thinks he's lost his mind and yells at him to stop running.
No romantic pairings.
Seventy percent career, thirty percent relationships.
The relationship arc is fifteen percent sweet and fifteen percent heartbreak.
The relationships aren't romantic: they're teacher-student bonds, found family, and friendship.
A little wish fulfillment.
Reader's guide:
1. Quick transmigration. Each world is independent. The protagonist retains all his memories, while everyone else remembers nothing, though there are occasional lingering echoes.
2. The protagonist has a different identity in each world.
3. The System assigns emotional missions, but it has a really sharp tongue.
4. The author is a fake soccer fan. Allegiances: Manchester City and Germany.
5. The cover was a gift from BS Gugu. Many thanks.
