Second Wind

Summary:

After leading Seidou to back-to-back Koshien championships as their undisputed Ace, Sawamura Eijun had finally conquered it all. He had survived the Yips, outlasted his rival Furuya, and proved that a loud-mouthed kid from the countryside could rule the mound. He was content, decorated, and ready for the future.

Then, he woke up.

Instead of his hard-earned gold medal and professional-grade muscles, Sawamura wakes up in his scrawny, 14-year-old body back in Nagano. He is a second-year at Akagi Junior High—a time when his pitches were unrefined and his "Numbers" didn't even exist. In a single night, the universe robbed him of his glory, his teammates, and his hard-won progress.

Furious and cursing the "Bastard Gods of Baseball" at the top of his lungs, Sawamura realizes he has two choices: mourn the future he lost, or use his "National Champion" brain to absolutely demolish the past. Armed with veteran instincts and surgical precision, the "New" Sawamura is about to turn the middle school baseball world upside down—and this time, he isn't letting anyone else take his mound.

Notes:

HI, I made this story because feeling frustrated at how many daiya story that not updated :((. So I just choose to bring this to my own hand. Enjoy y'all ^^

Chapter 1: WOAAAAAAHHHHHH

Chapter Text

1. The "Orphan" Incident (aka I am a dummy! 😭) First of all... guys, I messed up big time! I wanted to put my works into drafts for a bit, and I saw the "Orphan" option. My brain thought: "Oh, that must be like a draft folder!" WRONG. I didn't read it carefully, clicked yes, and realized too late that I basically abandoned my own story to the void! HUHU. I lost control of my original post, so I’ve had to re-upload everything here. Please bear with me! 🤡💔

2. Raw Chapters & Navigation ⚾ The first ~15 chapters are still "raw"—meaning they haven't been fully edited or polished yet. Please pardon the rough edges! To make things easier for you to navigate, I’ve used the baseball emoticon (⚾) to mark the chapters so you can find your place more easily. I’ve already re-uploaded everything up to this morning's update! 🏃💨

3. I NEED YOUR BRAINS! 🧠✨ Since I lost all my previous comments and threads in the "Orphan Incident," I am begging you: if you had ideas, opinions, or theories, PLEASE COMMENT AGAIN! I lost all the amazing feedback you gave me and I’m feeling a bit lost without it. Let’s talk about the plot again! 🗣️🙏

4. Update Schedule 📅 Don't worry, I'm back on track! I’ll be sticking to my previous pattern: expect 1 to 2 updates every day. This is my story and my vision, so it might not always follow your exact expectations or "make sense" in a traditional way, but I hope you enjoy the ride anyway! 🎢⚾

LASTLY... Thank you all for the incredible love and support you've shown this story. Please enjoy this "Second Wind" (literally!) and let’s keep giving all our love to our best boy, EIJUN!! ☀️💎🔥
