THE SILENT SYMPHONY

In a world that only hears shouts, his silence is a weapon. Orphaned and mute, Mateo Álvarez communicates through the beautiful game. After a tragic accident steals his voice, it grants him something else: an extraordinary ability to see the flow of play before it happens, a gift he calls The System. On the pitch, he is a prodigy, a conductor of silent symphonies, reading the game with a genius that leaves scouts and legends in awe. His talent earns him a destiny at FC Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy. Under the wing of mentors like Pep Guardiola and Lionel Messi, Mateo flourishes, his dream of one day representing Spain on the world stage feeling closer than ever. He becomes their golden boy, a symbol of pure footballing intellect, and the heart of a new generation. But when the club’s soul is traded for corporate interests, Mateo’s greatest strength is recast as a liability. To the new board, a star who cannot speak is a star who cannot sell. Betrayed by the institution he called home, the boy who dreamed in goals is cast out at sixteen, his future shattered. Now, Mateo must journey beyond the only home he’s ever known. Armed only with his preternatural gift and a resilience forged in silence, he must find a new team willing to listen not to his voice, but to his vision. His quest is no longer just for club glory, but to prove a devastating truth to those who discarded him: that the most powerful language in football isn’t spoken at all. The Silent Symphony is an unforgettable underdog story about the corruption of dreams, the beauty of resilience, and the unspoken bonds that define us. It's a journey across the fierce landscapes of European football to reclaim a stolen destiny, one perfect pass at a time. **** DISCLAIMER: The contents of 'THE SILENT SYMPHONY' is entirely a work of fiction.

A Foolish Regressor's Only Choice

An infected world. With a never-ending invasion. Status screens, unique skills, gods and demons… even monsters capable of ending the world in a single breath. “Hah… what kind of nonsense is this? What did ̵h̵u̵m̵a̵n̵i̵t̵y̵ (i) do to deserve any of it?” A boy stood at the cliff’s edge, but he looked nothing like the terrified survivors scattered far behind him. He looked over the Cliff, an evil smile permeated his face, the kind no good soul should ever be able to make staring endlessly at the abyss of monsters counting in the millions... This smile was unordinary. A smile like that could only come from a psychopath or some pain loving freak. Wind fought against his clothes blowing against him, and beneath the torn fabric of his shirt, black linen tattoos shimmered like living veins of ink, crawling and shifting with unearthly symbols. He stood above the ever hollowing Zenith Chasm, as the sole vanguard for the beginning of the raid. Having fearful last minute thoughts are normal, for anyone staring at such an abomination of numbers. Yet you see only one mantra stayed firm this boy, Iskael's heart. A coping mantra more dear than anything. “The one who conquers time…” he murmured, eyes glinting with something far beyond hope or despair. ... "Will conquer the universe.” He stepped forward. Air rushed past him as he let himself fall, his body flipping weightlessly through the tranquil yet furious winds, and as he fell those black tattoos began glowing brighter with each rotation in preparation for something. Then, as monsters roared and the world shook beneath him, he whispered: “Ah.. well I guess I'm still just a half step there if we want to be technical…" But you see, you little karma farms...” His grin widened. “I’m still a regressor.” **BOOOM**

Reborn as Stephen Cooper

When an ordinary soul awakens in the body of Stephen Eli Cooper, the younger brother of Georgie Cooper and the older brother to the twins Sheldon and Missy, he inherits far more than a new life, he inherits a destiny. Stephen is brilliant. Unreasonably brilliant. A mind operating at IQ 267, with perfect recall, superhuman physical potential, and a future tangled with people and worlds far beyond Texas. But this isn’t a power fantasy. His new life comes with responsibilities, attachments, and paths that branch into danger the original timeline never touched. From navigating the chaos of the Cooper family… …to rising as a mathematical and computational prodigy at UT Austin and MIT… …to stepping into the shadows of intelligence agencies, where data becomes a weapon… Stephen builds a life defined by choice, not fate. Along the way, he forms unbreakable bonds— with Paige, whose genius matches his own; with Rosa, a future operative whose strength hides deep wounds; with mentors and rivals across academia, federal agencies, and the secretive organization known only as Project AEGIS. But brilliance comes with consequences. Every action Stephen takes shifts the timeline further away from canon— and soon he finds himself at the center of a silent war fought in algorithms, intelligence networks, and human lives. As threats rise and worlds intersect, Stephen must decide: Is he simply living a borrowed life? Or is he forging something entirely new? A story of genius, growth, family, love, and the quiet heroism of a man who refuses to waste the second chance he never asked for.

Born to Be a Necromancer

In 2030, the world did something it had never done before — it calmed down. Wars halted at the negotiation table, political conflicts faded into reasonable compromises, and global trade flowed without the poison of greed. By 2031, even the poorest could eat, study, and receive medical care. Technology soared forward, pushing humanity into what looked like a golden age of peace. In 2032, that same united world released a game. "Last Chance"—a full-immersion ARMMO created in partnership by every major game studio on the planet. Hundreds of classes, no fixed quests, no rails. Just freedom: to grow, to explore, to fight, and to carve your own legend in a living, breathing virtual world. Within a year, almost half of humanity was playing. "Last Chance" became more than a game. It was culture, economy, religion, and addiction rolled into one. And in 2040, reality shattered. The truth emerged: not just the era of peace, but all of human history—every war, every revolution, every miracle and disaster—had been part of a colossal simulation. An endless cycle of births and deaths, victories and tragedies, all designed with a single purpose: to forge the strongest possible souls. Outside that artificial history, the true human race stood on the brink of extinction, clinging to a desperate plan. From countless simulated lifetimes, they would select a handful of reincarnated players and call them "heroes," sending them back to the real world as humanity's final weapons. Among those chosen, one name barely deserved to be on the list. Blake Dranver Rabengard—statistically the weakest of all selected heroes, and the only one bound to the forbidden class: Necromancer. While the other saviors command holy light, elemental storms, and swords that split the sky, Blake walks a different path: one that controls death itself. In a dying reality where every living warrior is already not enough… perhaps the only hope left is the man who can command the dead. Because if the entire history of humanity was nothing but a training ground, then this world is no longer asking to be saved— It's asking to be rewritten.

Rebirth: Into The Dragon Realm

In the heavenly realm, the immortal dragon after cultivating for half of time, hit a bottleneck that lasted the age of a hundred universes. Frustrated with his stagnation, the dragon accused the heavenly hierarchy of concealing cultivation techniques from the attendants of the heavenly court in order to maintain their control over the path of reincarnation. Proactive and cunning, the dragon devised the soul refinement process, a dark art that allowed the caster to view the entire life of a soul—not for judgment but to absorb its inspiration, knowledge, and skills, at the cost of destroying the soul in the process. The dragon, ever scheming, shared this forbidden technique with the heavenly court, causing its users to grow rapidly in power. This led to chaos within the hierarchy of the heavenly realm, spiraling it into confusion and upheaval. Eventually, the dragon staged a coup, aiming to change the fate of all souls within the river of time. During the height of the war, however, the dragon mysteriously disappeared from the heavenly realm, only to reappear in a secret realm of its own creation. Now, the immortal dragon has created pocket dimensions, concealed from the view of deity beings and the path of reincarnation. In these hidden realms, the dragon devours the souls of all who inhabit them upon their death, absorbing their knowledge and skills in a quest to transcend its limitations and ascend back to the deity realm. The dragon's empire spans multiple dimensional worlds, where civilizations rise and fall under its rule as it seeks a way to return to the heavenly realm with unprecedented power. Niu, a world-renowned 21st-century physicist, dies in a particle accelerator explosion while searching for the God particle. He is now the only being to have ever experienced reincarnation and hopes to share this gift with the inhabitants of the dragon realm because if he dies here, earth will be next on the dragon's list.
