The only thing standing between a dead-end job and football glory? A holographic interface and a lot of hungover plumbers. Danny Walsh is going nowhere. At twenty-six, his life is a monotonous cycle of night shifts at a Manchester convenience store and escaping into the digital world of Football Manager, where he is a tactical genius building championship-winning teams from nothing. In the real world, he is just another guy with a dead-end job and a dream that feels impossibly far away. A mysterious notebook gives him an impossible edge: the power to see the hidden attributes of football players. It’s a party trick no one else can see, a useless superpower for a man going nowhere. But in the broken, overlooked talent of Manchester's gritty leagues, data is destiny. Danny holds a winning ticket, if he can only learn how to read it. And if this cursed gift doesn't break him first. --- For fans of Player Manager, Football Manager, and system novels, this is a character-driven, tactically rich, and hilariously authentic journey from the bottom of the pyramid to the very top. The beautiful game is about to get a system upgrade. Sports Fiction | System Novel | Football Management | Progression Fantasy ---

The Specialists: Book One — Awakening “So far as we’re on Earth, we all live, we all walk, and we’re all different... but... it’s more than that, isn’t it?” There will always be a set of people — or maybe various sets — different from the rest. They walk among us, invisible yet always watching, bound by rules written before time began. Not all their stories are told. But come to think of it... if we never tell, they will never know. Beneath the hum of cities and the illusion of normal life, another world exists—one of secret factions, ancient clans, and Arms that bend the laws of nature itself. Shadows move across time, hunting and watching those who can rewrite reality. When an orphaned student receives a call that changes everything, and a stranger draped in dusk arrives at the edge of his world, the first thread begins to pull loose. What wakes isn’t always alive. What’s buried doesn’t always stay dead. And the ones who remember… are already watching. Awakening is just the first movement in a war older than history itself.

# My Body Development System Won’t Stop Upgrading Me?! Dorian was perfectly fine being a campus menace. Okay — maybe not fine. He was tall, overweight, chronically insecure, and violently allergic to mirrors. But as long as he stayed at the top of the social food chain, nobody could laugh at him first. Then he stole the wrong wallet. Inside it was a ring. He put it on. And that was the worst decision of his life. > BDS ACTIVATED. > Host Status: Catastrophic. > Beginning emergency upgrades. Now Dorian has a system. A glow-up system. A body optimization system. A system that promises to turn him into the ultimate version of himself. There’s just one small problem. Every time he levels up: * He loses weight. * He gets more handsome. * His charisma increases. * And one very specific stat goes up by exactly one inch. It was funny at Level 1. Concerning at Level 3. Terrifying at Level 7. Now Dorian has a new problem: The more popular he becomes, the more attention he gets — and the more the system keeps rewarding him. And it won’t stop upgrading him. With jealous rivals, confused professors, accidental fan clubs, and a system that thinks “bigger is better” is a life philosophy— Dorian must decide: Does he stop leveling up… Or does he see how far this absurd evolution can go? > Warning: Overdevelopment may result in catastrophic consequences.

"Sometimes to unite a chaotic world, what people need may not necessarily be a hero. What they'd need is a powerful enemy that they can't surpass," It had been six years since the Third world War came to an abrupt halt, and both sides of the war are just learning to settle into a hectic but peaceful everyday lives without the sound of gunfire. In a series of inner-conflicts and hidden betrayals, the world soon came to learn of the massacre of the clan famed throughout the world to be the strongest clan of the Fire Series-The Akagami clan. Surrounded by tragedies with each person shouldering a painful past, the story follows the events leading up to the massacre named the "Crimson Massacre" and how its aftermath affected the survivors of that night. With a mysterious shadow organization named "The Auditors" looming in from the shadows, many are skeptical of their goal. Are they friend or are they foe? Or something even more terrible?

This is gonna be an uncanny-valley/doppelganger novel set in modern times. A man falls asleep and wakes up to the apocalypse. It'll probably be more horror survival in the initial stages and later on some more action mixed in. I only plan to have 2 members in this harem. There will eventually be powers in the world and civilization will be restarted in a way. Honestly, considering my knowledge of myself I'll probably stop before getting to that point. I'll realize I haven't posted a chapter in a while and stress out about it only to think no one probably cares or that it's been so long that I feel my work won't match up to previous chapters and stop. Or maybe it's just a massive amount of procrastination. Cover art isn't mine and was made by Koma440

Although his physical abilities still far surpass those of ordinary people, he has regressed to the “1st level.” Li Dong retires and returns to his hometown, only to find his fiancée with another man… #NTR #Netorare

This man began as a completely unremarkable defensive midfielder. Then, by chance, he learned a bit about organizing play... then a bit about carrying the ball forward... and then free kicks too. And just like that, the football world got lively. Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo loved playing with him—handsome, eloquent, and most importantly, the guy who covered their backs so they could focus on attacking up front. Messi had a love-hate relationship with him. Every time he played against Barcelona, he got fired up—and somehow always dragged Messi into playing brotherly football. All number 8s loved playing alongside him—his coverage was everywhere, his pressure resistance was second to none. He was the ultimate shield in front of center-backs, the perfect partner to midfielders, and the strongest wall behind the forwards. Xabi Alonso was his mentor, Mourinho his boss, and Pogba? Just his junior. Whenever a reporter asked him how he got so good, he'd always reply: “Train like hell. Give it everything you’ve got!” Thank you for the support, friends.

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch ceaselessly and horrors—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by self made nightmares that never fade. The Common Era, where the concept of happiness has been abandoned. No story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is all that it took. Strength was never the problem. You survived long enough to know that looking strong, feeling strong, and being strong are three different lies people tell themselves to keep moving. Terra is heavy. The roads are long and boundless like the deserts. And family...family—that has been stripped away. Once? Twice? no, Thrice? You’ve walked. You’ve run. You’ve shot at everything. You've seen your friends perish away, your self-made family rotting away, and how do you cover it? By carrying a carload of supplies through every kind of conceivable catastrophe. ———————— I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. Lets see, it starts to pick up the pace slowly. It's a slow born sort of thing. short ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace.

Time Magazine once gave this review of a man: "Mr. Yang is a great inventor. The products he created changed how hundreds of millions live, work, and travel." "At the same time, his inventions created millions of jobs and made outstanding contributions to regional economies." ... Never would he have imagined—Yang Wendong, already a successful entrepreneur, would accidentally travel back to the 1950s. Given a second chance, he would once again rise from nothing, climb to the peak of this era, and build a century-spanning Chinese family empire.

Lin Haoran was reborn in 1978 Hong Kong, becoming a wealthy young heir.

So, with growing strength, Lin Haoran set his sights on the leading British trading firm—Jardine Matheson... Thank you for the support, friends.

Information Age. 18 June 2018. Horrors fall from the sky as the familiar blue skies is replaced by a cracked mirror, reflecting the scenery of different world. Each fallen point, represent the invasion of the foreign things, scream and terror towards the world. Apocalypse. The whole world is burning, Cities fall, Life were reaped without resistance. The flourishing Age ended in overnight. ... At the edge of death. Sinking into an endless sea, of Limbo. Where he is supposed to be. Hatred, and unwillingness fills his heart with the death of his loved one.

Years later, when he would finally hold the “Lifetime Achievement Award” in his hands, Makoto would recall one very specific afternoon—the afternoon he was sent flying ten whole meters… By Kitasan Black. At the time, he had only recently gotten his Central Trainer’s license. Unfortunately, his lack of experience was obvious, and many Umamusume turned him down without a second thought. And so, after being rejected yet again, maybe his mind wandered a bit too much. While waiting to cross at a red light, he spotted a child nearly step into oncoming traffic. His body moved before his brain could catch up. The kid was fine. He was not. Because he got hit. Not by a car, but by an Umamusume. She had black hair, red eyes, and a matching black tail. And she slammed into him at full sprint. Thanks to years of quiet self-training—secretly guided by memories from a past life—he managed to twist midair and land without too much damage. Still, getting launched like that wasn’t exactly part of his daily routine. The Umamusume, on the other hand, was completely panicking. “I-I’m so sorry! Are you hurt?! A-are you okay?!” “I-I'm Kitasan Black! A first-year at Tracen Academy! Pleased to meet you—wait, no, that’s not what I should say right now!” “I—I mean—I’ll take responsibility! I’ll take full responsibility for this!!” That’s how it all began. The girl’s name was Kitasan Black. And this was the start of everything. = = = = Note: Some character backgrounds and settings have been reworked for narrative purposes. This version expands the Umamusume world while staying faithful to the spirit of the original. Non-Umamusume fan can read it as a mix of sports drama and school life.
