The GOAL System

9KK
My father had me a system to see the game's secrets. Now it's mine. Leo Reed inherited two things: his late legendary coach father's tactical genius, and the crushing weight of his name. The genius, however, only works through a pair of old spectacles—the conduit to the G.O.A.L. System, a tactical overlay that turns football into a solvable equation. With it, Leo can execute impossible shots and see passes before they exist. Without it, he's a blind liability. To save his family from financial ruin, Leo must claim a spot on the school team and win the cutthroat Griffin Cup's life-changing prize. But the system's power draws attention. From the icy, perfect prodigy King Vance, to his own childhood friend turned ruthless rival, Rin Tanaka, to the mountain of a defender who’s been paid to break him. After a brutal tryout, Coach Arkady—a man who sees players as tools—assigns Leo the #19 jersey. Not a starter. A substitute. A specialized weapon to be deployed only when the primary plan fails. Now, armed with his father’s system and a legacy of learning from the bench, Leo Reed must do more than win games. He must deconstruct the prodigies, exploit their weaknesses, and prove that the most dangerous player on the pitch isn't the star—it's the variable no one accounted for. He'll show them how football should be played.

Hiatus, Rewrite & Continuation!!

A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones belong to George R. R. Martin. I'm simply writing a fan story set in his world after what was season 5- what they are calling an ending. Welcome! This story was inspired by the many amazing authors who have expanded upon or created wonderful worlds I love, especially A Song of Ice and Fire. While I admire Martin's incredible world-building, I wanted to explore a different direction. This is an original character (OC) as Robb Stark story. In this timeline, Robb dies in a stable accident early on, but he is replaced by a reincarnated fan and veteran, a history professor who possesses knowledge of the world and its future. This is not a tech-uplift fic—expect modest improvements in tactics, engineering, logistics, and sanitation, but no guns, trains, or miracle medicines. The Old Gods and some others, as well as magic, play a bit more in this story, but not in a way of high fantasy The story follows a capable Robb who knows what is coming and intends to change history. Don’t expect the White Walkers to be the final threat, and if all goes according to plan, this story will exceed 300,000 words. I also take a different approach to Westerosi politics. Some events and alliances in the canon never made much sense to me, so this story explores how things might unfold with a more experienced Robb making different decisions—including preparing for dragons. Thank you for giving my fanfic story a glance. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.
