David Drinkwater lived his entire career as football's biggest joke. Thirty seven years old, rejected by every major club, and called a "club whore" by fans across Europe, but at Wembley Stadium, in the rain, he finally proved them wrong. Championship playoff final between Millwall and Norwich, and in the 90th minute, he scored the winning goal, then he died. **[Ding. Ding.]** **「Host found: David Drinkwater.」** **「Synchronisation complete.」** He opens his eyes in an eighteen year old body. Demien Walter, a failed Fiorentina academy prospect and suicide attempt survivor with an overall rating of 48, no team, and no future, but David brought something impossible with him. **[Ding.]** **「Ultimate Gacha System activated.」** **「Mission: Rise from nothing. Become the greatest footballer in history.」** Training earns points while matches earn rewards, and achievements unlock legendary packs. Every pack opening could change everything, whether through common stat boosts, rare techniques, or epic abilities, yet there's always the ultimate prize. **[Ding.]** **「Diamond Pack opened.」** **「Congratulations. Andrea Pirlo — Regista Vision obtained. Passing +15. Vision +10. Legendary Trait unlocked: Deep-Lying Playmaker.」** From trialist to conquering the football world, every pack, every point, and every impossible moment building toward football immortality. They called him a failure once, and they called him wasted potential, but now, with forty years of wisdom in an eighteen year old body and a system that rewards every drop of sweat with power, David will rewrite football history. One pack at a time. **Some dreams get a second chance, and some legends get a second life, so this is his.**

Earth has changed and with it so has humanity. Follow Miwen as he makes use of his Gift, Gacha Kingdom Building.

Stuff I'm thinking about on occasion.

I Fucked the Goddess of All Things on Day One… With Nothing But My Dick! "Hahahaha, oh pathetic mortal. How do you intend to subjugate me, a goddess?" The goddess asked provocatively. Her overwhelming, impossible beauty spills from a sheer dress that hides nothing. She cups her god-sculpted breasts, thumbs teasing the hardened peaks, while her wide hips and thick, juicy thighs sway with mocking arrogance. The very air drips with her ripe, mature scent. Seeing her mock me while shaking her voluminous breasts and voluptuous lower body, I felt more aroused than angry. I'm definitely not an overpowered character on the level of a web novel protagonist. Nor am I a born munchkin or a genius. But. "With my dick." Let's just go for it. Screw the destined hero path. From this moment on, I’m the Debauched Hero—a shameless conqueror who only hunts older, voluptuous women and bends them to my will. The arrogant Goddess of All Things is first on the menu. One thrust at a time, I’ll turn divinity into dripping, moaning submission. *** Just read it.

He transmigrated into the body of a sixteen-year-old boy. Asou Akiya’s new parents were dead, he had no ties, no burdens, no way back; the original owner had left him nothing but a precarious foothold as the lowliest grunt in Yokohama’s most notorious port organization. For an ordinary human without a single ability, simply staying alive was set to nightmare difficulty. No golden finger from the heavens? Then he would forge his own. Four years later. Destiny finally handed him its greatest turning point. After a cataclysmic explosion rocked the city, Asou Akiya, with meticulous calculation and trembling hands, rescued a breathtaking French beauty who had lost all memory. The man had been betrayed, abandoned, left fragile and shivering in the cold; yet beneath that porcelain vulnerability burned a soul of blinding brilliance and combat prowess that touched the very ceiling of this world. “…Who… am I?” “You are a romantic French poet, Rimbaud.” “A poet?” “Yes,” Akiya whispered, voice steady as scripture, “and you are the love of my life.” From that moment, Asou Akiya placed him upon the apex of his heart and spoiled him rotten. He soothed every wound with tenderness, watered the tender shoots of love with carefully tended lies, and watched them bloom. So what if memory returned one day? He had already seized the most priceless treasure in the world. Thank you, Verlaine! The partner you were willing to discard is now my wife. 【Asou Akiya × Rimbaud (French name: Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud)】 {Mon âme éternelle, Observe ton voeu Malgré la nuit seule Et le jour en feu.} O my eternal soul, Hold fast to desire In spite of the night And the day on fire. — From A Season in Hell, Rimbaud

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.

Leon Hart woke up in Orario with three magic slots, seven skills, and stats so bad they’d make a goblin laugh.

The Dungeon doesn’t care where you came from. It only cares whether you’re strong enough to survive what comes next.

[WARNING:R-18|Explicit content, graphic violence, and adult themes] Mark had a miserable life. He died in the most pathetic way possible. And when he reincarnated, instead of becoming the overpowered level 100 character with broken stats, legendary gear, and a ridiculous number of spells… He woke up at Necromancer level 1 with a single spell that can’t even properly revive the dead. Great. But, somehow, luck was on his side. The very first thing he did was stumble across the corpse of an SSS-Rank Holy Knight inside a dungeon, and out of pure desperation, he used his one half-functional spell on her. That’s when things took a turn. He unlocked a new ability that lets him tamper with people’s consciousness… so yeah, he straight-up brainwashed her. Now he’s got the strongest warrior on the continent following him around like he’s the center of her universe. Meanwhile, Mark’s stuck in the middle of it all, wondering when exactly his life turned into this mess.
