Harbinger Of Glory

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.

[Ding! You have stopped the Cromothean Invasion! You have unlocked the Adamantine Battle Armor (Level 3)] [Ding! You have solved the Cosmic Formula! The cosmic entities have grown wary of your existence.] Years ago, way before I was even born, humanity was reminded that we weren't alone in the universe, and our world was invaded by a race of alien conquerors that called themselves the Ravemites. It was ghastly. And humanity was soon on the brink of extinction until, we were saved by an Intergalactic Organization that called themselves Starcore Nebula. Years later, in the middle of this chaotic relationship between mankind and alien, I, Eric Kaiser — a regular 18 year old kid who had always looked up to these heroes of earth, aspired to be just like them even without awakening any talent, lost my parents in the apocalypse. Since then, I lost any aspirations I had, any admiration I harbored towards these intergalactic agents. Till one day, I came across a strange system that changed my life forever, then I awakened a talent too. That Talent's Name was D.E.L.T.A. And because of it, I was linked to the greatest technological system in the universe, create state of the art weaponry out of thin air? Easy. Hack into the universe's most elite security system? Piece of cake. Being wanted by cosmic beauties across the galaxy? Child's play. But I didn't go unnoticed, soon enough rival galactic organizations and even alien warlords from all over the universe wanted me gone at any cost, so if they wanted to wage a war against me, bring it on. I have no desire to become a intergalactic hero, but with this system, I am justice. So the battle to save earth from these so-called conquerors? it wasn't just the planet's fight anymore, it was mine. They made sure of that the day they let my parents died.

True Hero: Full Moon

What does it mean to be a true hero? By day, brash and cocky Micheal Frills is just another high school student navigating friendships, family, and the mundane struggles of teenage life. By night he’s a vigilante cleaning up the streets one criminal at a time. But when a sadistic mastermind, Shadow, emerges from the darkness, Micheal finds himself trapped in a twisted psychological game that will test everything he believes about justice, and morality. Shadow doesn't just want to defeat Micheal—he wants to break him. To prove that beneath the hero's ideals lies a killer waiting to emerge. Shadow's method is brutal and calculated: he doesn't attack Micheal directly. Instead, he systematically destroys everyone Micheal loves. His friends become targets. His ideals become weapons turned against him. And the line between hero and killer begins to blur. True Hero is a character-driven story that follows Micheal's desperate attempt to maintain both worlds—the peaceful slice-of-life moments with friends at the park, late-night movie marathons, and school drama that remind him what he's fighting for, and the gritty reality of street justice that threatens to consume him entirely. A slow-burn psychological thriller that examines the price of heroism, the weight of morality, and the thin line between justice and vengeance. Through the eyes of Micheal Frills and the time spent around his friends, True Hero explores what happens when virtues like trust, hope, and courage are weaponized against good people. True Hero contains mature themes including graphic violence, sexual assault, suicide, abuse, trauma, and death. Reader discretion is advised.
