Second Life on the Pitch
At twenty-five years old, Claude’s career has stalled — not only because of footballing competition, but because of years shaped by circumstances beyond his control. In a country where the game itself has been repeatedly disrupted, opportunities disappear as quickly as they appear, and progress becomes a matter of survival rather than talent.
Just as his future begins to fade, the Life Dreams System appears, giving him a chance to take control of what had long been taken out of his hands. With time no longer on his side, Claude begins a difficult climb back up the football pyramid, determined to rebuild his career in a world that offers no guarantees.
This is a story about lost years, second chances, and the fight to reclaim a place in the game when everything seems already decided.
author note:
This is my first attempt at an original story, so nothing is definitive as the chapters progress. Your opinions, suggestions, and critiques are genuinely important. They help me identify inconsistencies, improve the writing, and refine the world as the story develops.
In a way, you are part of the creation process, and your feedback directly shapes the story.
