Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: The crownless king

Noah Ramsey's name was now whispered in the same breath as legends.

It wasn't just the numbers anymore.

It was the way he moved.

How defenders froze before he even touched the ball.

How he dissected games with precision, like a machine fine-tuned by chaos and order.

How he didn't celebrate goals — he expected them.

Noah had now fully synced with the Kaiser template.

The system acknowledged it with a deep chime in his mind, like a gate unlocking.

[Kaiser Sync: 100% — Personality Traits Fully Integrated] [500/500 Ego Points — New Draw Unlocked]

He stood alone in the training facility, steam rising from his body after a brutal morning session. The screen hovered before him, blue and silver.

Would you like to draw your next character template?

Noah didn't hesitate.

He clicked "Yes."

The system spun like a roulette wheel, colors and symbols flashing. Then, it stopped on a familiar face.

You have unlocked: Itoshi Rin

Compatibility: 91% Sync Initiated.

A sharp pulse hit his brain.

His heart skipped.

His breath caught.

Then everything went still.

He saw flashes of Rin's vision — cold, surgical, intense. The world slowed. Angles sharpened.

In that moment, Noah Ramsey wasn't just dominant. He was terrifying.

Carabao Cup Semifinal – vs Newcastle

It was supposed to be a tough fight. Newcastle had been bullish all season. But from kickoff, they looked like prey.

Noah didn't even need the ball to dominate. His movement alone bent the entire flow of play.

By halftime, he had a goal, two pre-assists, and a moment that went viral: a no-look pass that carved through five defenders.

The commentator whispered, stunned: "That... wasn't human."

Liverpool won 4–1.

After the game, Klopp said, "Noah is not playing football. He's rewriting it."

Champions League Round of 16 – First Leg vs Inter Milan

San Siro, Milan, Italy

A wall of noise. Italian steel and pride.

Noah silenced it in six minutes.

Not with a thunderous goal. Not with a solo run. But with a read.

Inter's playmaker, Calhanoglu, received the ball in midfield and turned — only to find Noah already there, intercepting a pass that hadn't even been made yet.

He didn't slide. He didn't tackle. He just appeared, like a shadow from the future.

In one touch, he turned defense into chaos. The counterattack moved like clockwork: Noah to Elliott, Elliott to Núñez, back to Noah.

He didn't shoot.

He laid it off — subtle, calculated — and Curtis Jones buried it.

0–1. San Siro silenced.

Noah turned and jogged back like nothing happened. He didn't raise his arms. Didn't look at the crowd. His eyes were fixed forward, scanning — always scanning.

By minute 30, it was 0–2. This time, Noah did score — an outside-foot curler from 23 yards that bent physics. Sommer dove, but it was pointless. The ball kissed the bar and fell in.

By full-time, Liverpool had won 0–3. Noah had run 13.2 km, made 9 recoveries, 4 key passes, 1 goal, and 1 assist.

But it was the eye contact he made with Inter captain Barella as he walked off the pitch that made headlines.

Cold. Detached. Regal.

As if to say: You were never on my level.

Liverpool Training Ground – The Next Day

"Noah," Virgil van Dijk said, walking up during cooldown, "you alright, man?"

Noah looked up. Blinked.

Something in his eyes was different. Not Kaiser's arrogance — sharper. Quieter.

"I'm fine," he said, towel over his shoulders. "Just… refining the angles."

Virgil raised a brow but said nothing. Trent, nearby, whispered to Harvey Elliott, "He's gone full machine now."

And still — no one could deny the results.

Even Salah watched him now with a wary admiration. Klopp had given up trying to define him in interviews.

"He's… becoming something else," the manager said. "He reads the game like a goddamn oracle."

Matchday 19 – Premier League – vs Arsenal

Title race tension. Arsenal were top of the table. Liverpool, one point behind.

It was more than a game. It was war.

Noah was ice.

He didn't flinch under the Emirates spotlight. In fact, he thrived.

Arsenal tried to man-mark him with Declan Rice. Within fifteen minutes, Rice was chasing shadows. Zinchenko stepped in to help — and got nutmegged. Twice.

Noah dictated tempo like a conductor with metavision as his baton. Every movement had purpose, every pause was a trap.

In the 38th minute, he dropped deep, drew three players toward him — then flicked a blind pass through a gap only he could see.

Luis Díaz scored. 0–1.

The second half was chaos. Arsenal pushed, desperate. Odegaard and Saka came alive — but Noah's counter-control was otherworldly. He wasn't just reacting — he was orchestrating outcomes.

In minute 76, he broke free, jinked past Gabriel, and slotted home the winner.

Final score: 1–2. Liverpool leapfrogged to first.

But the clip that went viral wasn't the goal.

It was the moment after — when he walked past the Arsenal fans, stared straight into the camera, and whispered:

> "You're watching the rise of a king."

[Cognitive Load: 78% — Warning: Neural Strain Detected]

Noah sat in the recovery room, ice packs on both knees, headphones in — but no music playing.

Just silence.

The whispers in his head were louder now.

Kaiser: Dominate.

Rin: Perfect.

Himself? He wasn't sure anymore.

The crown he chased was invisible — but its weight was growing.
