David Keller was a master of his craft in Chicago—a man who knew the weight, the mechanics, and the soul of every firearm ever made, thanks to a lifetime of lessons from his veteran grandfather. But when a sudden end leads to a new beginning, he finds himself in the body of Nicholas Braveheart, the eight-year-old prince of a small, struggling kingdom. In a world ruled by ancient swords, rigid chivalry, and the mysterious flickers of magic, Nicholas is an anomaly. While other children play with wooden toys, he is busy sketching blueprints for the world’s first flintlock. While the powerful Varantum Empire looms on the horizon like an unstoppable tide, Nicholas isn’t looking for a hero’s sword—he’s looking for saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. Armed with thirty-six years of modern ballistics knowledge and the iron-clad will of a soldier, Nicholas sets out to turn his backwater home into a fortress. He’s not just building weapons; he’s building a revolution. The knights of this world think they are invincible behind their plate armor—Nicholas is about to show them exactly what happens when steel meets high-velocity lead. The age of magic is ending. The age of the Arsenal has begun. Author’s Note: I'm having a blast bringing Nicholas's journey to life! If you're enjoying the blend of kingdom-building and gunpowder, don't forget to add this to your collection and vote and review if you like! :) Every bit of support helps the kingdom grow!

Uma Musume: A Calamity Born fr

Manchester United, once a dominant force in world football, finds itself struggling under Erik ten Hag despite having the financial power to rebuild. Big-money transfers fail to restore the club’s glory, forcing Ten Hag to shift his focus to homegrown talent. Among the overlooked prospects in the U18 squad is Leo Calderon, a 17-year-old central midfielder buried deep in the pecking order. Lacking physicality and dismissed by teammates as weak, Leo endures constant ridicule from those who dominate with strength and athleticism. But during one ordinary training session, everything changes—Leo suddenly sees passing lanes no one else can, angles of play invisible to even the most talented prospects. Yet, there’s a problem. His vision surpasses his ability. The passes he attempts don’t connect, his technique unable to match his newfound awareness. Coaches dismiss his efforts as sloppy, and his struggles continue. But one unexpected observer—a visiting League One assistant coach—notices something different. He watches Leo’s movements, seeing potential where others see failure. As Leo fights to prove himself in an unforgiving system, the question lingers—can he refine his raw talent before the club moves on without him? ****************************** Also, all rights reserved for the companies and teams and also players I use in the novel since I don't know how image rights work and I'm too lazy to search it up on Bing-, I mean google Also, character arts are not mine or AI-generated.
