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.

The Stardust Pact Code of the Immortals

The Hook: The Code and the Furnace The Sky City of Olympus floats above the ruined Earth, treating the Wasteland below as a vast, toxic scrapyard. In the slums, Li Yunzhou, the last inheritor of a forgotten Cultivation lineage, survives by a single, desperate law: the All-Material Furnace Constitution. He consumes technological scrap—discarded chips, broken circuits, and volatile batteries—to forge them into powerful True Qi. When a life-threatening cultivation accident nearly kills him, he is saved by a chaotic sequence of alien code that embeds itself into his very soul. The Core Conflict: Queen vs. System This code belongs to Aria, a rogue Aether Administrator and one of Olympus’s most powerful architects, who was erased and hunted for discovering the Senate's darkest secret. Now reduced to a fragmented consciousness within Li Yunzhou’s mind, she is forced into a life-saving pact: she will teach him the Matrix Refining Divine Art—the art of seeing True Qi as flawless, executable code—and turn him into a supreme hacker-cultivator. In exchange, he must become her furnace, her eyes, and her physical anchor in a world trying to delete her from existence. The Stakes: Against the Law Itself Their unique alliance is immediately tested by Executive Zero, who seeks to retrieve Aria's "Defunct Code" and annihilate the Wasteland to protect the Senate’s control over the fabled Gate of Immortality. As Li Yunzhou ascends the ranks of cultivation, armed with code logic and pure Furnace power, the pair must fight their way through mechanical legions and higher-authority Executives who can rewrite the fundamental laws of physics. Their destiny is clear: breach the Sky City, reclaim Aria's identity, and expose the terrifying truth behind Olympus's false godhood.

How Did I Become an F1 Driver?

How did I become an F1 driver? Qin Miao discovered that he had the talent to become a top e-sports driver. Just during the college entrance examination period, he played with the simulator in his spare time and was surprised to find that he had the ability to compete with other professional e-sports drivers. You should know that he just played casually and had this ability. If he settled down to practice, Qin Miao would definitely have a bright future on the road of e-sports drivers. Qin Miao was ready to take the path of an e-sports driver if he failed the college entrance examination. But on a very ordinary day, Qin Miao gained a system. However, Qin Miao was still sensible. Even if he got the system, it was unlikely for him to become a formal F1 driver. Because when he got the system, he was already 19 years old and hadn't been exposed to anything related to racing before the age of 19. Two years later: Xiaozhou: There is no doubt that Qin Miao is a very talented driver, but I feel that racing is just a profession for him, his real hobby is live streaming and playing games. Lock: Qin? Just a second-generation Kimi. But then again, he plays CSGO really well, it was he who boosted my Earth. Old Man: Qin is a pure person, his life is only about racing... and video games. Dutch White-eyed Wolf: I have nothing to say about him. Bi Hai: If he spent half the time he uses to play games on the simulator, his achievements now would be far beyond this! Horner: I really appreciate Qin, he is a natural-born F1 driver and also a pure person, I very much hope he can join Red Bull and become one of us.
