What happens when football transcends sport and becomes a matter of national survival? Welcome to the Ghost Archipelago, the competition that redefines the meaning of "consequences." Club and national teams from around the world face off not just for glory, but for a prize that can change the fate of a nation: a miraculous bonus of 50 billion in GDP. Victory means ascension, development, and prosperity. But what would a colossal prize be without an equally high price? For the losers, the punishment is bankruptcy. The World Bank will step in, draining their nations' GDP until the next edition of the competition, condemning them to a decade of stagnation and misery. In this archipelago of games, every pass, every shot, and every goal carries the weight of millions of lives. Stadiums are battlefields, and players, heroes and villains alike, fight to save their homelands from ruin. Will the top team of a nation on the brink of disaster achieve victory? Or will they succumb to the pressure and become just another ghost in the archipelago? Prepare for a story where football is the last hope and failure is a real sentence.

(Also known as "KumoOuja") — this dark fantasy isekai follows Haruto Satoru... Summoned from another world with no warning, Haruto Satoru awakens beneath a crimson sky that hums with magic and malice. His arrival is not a mistake—it’s a message. Yet no summoner steps forward, no kingdom claims him, and no prophecy bears his name. Gifted—or cursed—with powers that can cut through reality itself, Haruto begins a relentless search for the one who called him across worlds. Each clue unravels another layer of the supernatural realm: gods bound by ancient contracts, monsters that feed on memory, and beings who whisper that he was never meant to exist. As he delves deeper, the threads of fate begin to tremble. His presence warps the balance of the divine order, and soon, heaven and hell alike seek to erase him. But Haruto will not bow to destiny—he will hunt the truth, even if it lies beyond creation itself. > “If the gods wove my summoning… then I’ll tear the heavens apart to find the hand that pulled the thread.” Haruto never asked to be a hero. One moment he was living an ordinary life, the next he was thrown into an unfamiliar world—one where gods play dice with fate, nations crumble overnight, and monsters roam free. But instead of chasing glory or bowing to kings, Haruto chooses his own path. With powers beyond imagination and an unyielding will, he begins gathering followers—not knights or nobles, but monsters. From loyal beasts to cunning demons, each subordinate swears allegiance to him, and together they carve out a place in a hostile world. What starts as mere survival grows into something greater: a nation born from nothing, a haven where the strong and the outcast can belong. Yet, with every victory, Haruto draws the attention of rulers, heroes, and even gods who cannot allow a monster nation to exist. Surrounded by enemies, burdened with power, and haunted by the question of what it means to rule—Haruto must decide whether he will become a savior, a tyrant… or something far beyond both. A story of war, loyalty, and ambition begins— The tale of a man who dared to turn monsters into a kingdom.

Author's Note: The story takes place at ANHS and if you ever wondered about the direction of this or whether you should treat this as the alternative to the canon Light Novel then no doubt about it, I didn't know either.
