Written purely to keep myself entertained. Read at your own risk. Ace had always been an arrogant prick. Even though he was the captain of the tennis club and set to go to enter the youth Olympics team, no one wanted to date him because the moment he opened his mouth, his conceited and bossy attitude would make people stay away from him within a three meter radius. In this alternate universe, the Gods of this world gives all the people ‘roles’ to play that are similar to that of roles characters fall under in video games or movies. People know about the details of the game through game menus that only the people involved can see. Completing that role well is rumored to give amazing benefits and even eternal happiness. Apparently at the age of 17, Ace finally received a role, of Love Rival to make the main protagonist unable to romance any of the love interests in the dating sim. For once in his life, Ace decided to not be a dick and interfere with the love of other people, choosing to support the main protagonist and the love interests as much as possible. For the first time in his life, he thought, wow it actually doesn’t feel bad to be a good guy for once. System Announcement: Congratulations, Ace! You have just completed your role as ‘Love Rival’ and managed to break up their relationship! You have earned 100 000 points! Huh?!
