The Specialists: Book One — Awakening “So far as we’re on Earth, we all live, we all walk, and we’re all different... but... it’s more than that, isn’t it?” There will always be a set of people — or maybe various sets — different from the rest. They walk among us, invisible yet always watching, bound by rules written before time began. Not all their stories are told. But come to think of it... if we never tell, they will never know. Beneath the hum of cities and the illusion of normal life, another world exists—one of secret factions, ancient clans, and Arms that bend the laws of nature itself. Shadows move across time, hunting and watching those who can rewrite reality. When an orphaned student receives a call that changes everything, and a stranger draped in dusk arrives at the edge of his world, the first thread begins to pull loose. What wakes isn’t always alive. What’s buried doesn’t always stay dead. And the ones who remember… are already watching. Awakening is just the first movement in a war older than history itself.

Rejected by fate, but gifted with powers they can’t control. From Anna’s "Loser Diary" to Elf’s failing invisibility, the game is changing. When Time-Stops turn awkward and Goth-girls sprout ears, chaos is inevitable. Blake thought he was the only powerhouse in this "ordinary" world. But these defeated maidens are back—deadlier, bolder, and hunting for his heart. In this superpowered rom-com, the underdogs are finally playing to win.

The only thing standing between a dead-end job and football glory? A holographic interface and a lot of hungover plumbers. Danny Walsh is going nowhere. At twenty-six, his life is a monotonous cycle of night shifts at a Manchester convenience store and escaping into the digital world of Football Manager, where he is a tactical genius building championship-winning teams from nothing. In the real world, he is just another guy with a dead-end job and a dream that feels impossibly far away. A mysterious notebook gives him an impossible edge: the power to see the hidden attributes of football players. It’s a party trick no one else can see, a useless superpower for a man going nowhere. But in the broken, overlooked talent of Manchester's gritty leagues, data is destiny. Danny holds a winning ticket, if he can only learn how to read it. And if this cursed gift doesn't break him first. --- For fans of Player Manager, Football Manager, and system novels, this is a character-driven, tactically rich, and hilariously authentic journey from the bottom of the pyramid to the very top. The beautiful game is about to get a system upgrade. Sports Fiction | System Novel | Football Management | Progression Fantasy ---

[H:F.S.T.T.S] tells the extraordinary story of Alex Masters, a Hollywood outsider who fought his way into the industry and now stands on the brink of creating cinematic history. And while he had always enjoyed the peace and anonymity of the shadows, he knew it was time to embrace the spotlight and show the world the kind of cinema he and his friend had once dreamt of. From his humble beginnings as a teenager hustling on film sets, Alex became a self-taught jack of all trades, honing his skills in everything from special effects to screenwriting. He has carved a path marked by his relentless ambition, daring choices, and a mind for storytelling that none could ignore. Now, nearly 2 decades later, Alex embarks on his most ambitious project yet—an epic tale that could cement his legacy as one of the greatest filmmakers of his time. But behind the camera lies a man haunted by personal demons, complex relationships, and a number of enemies scheming in the dark, threatening to destroy everything he's worked for. As the cameras roll, Alex’s journey unfolds through not just his own but also the eyes of those around him—actors, colleagues, and rivals—all drawn to his genius but questioning what lies beneath his unyielding drive. In a world where loyalty is rare and ambition is ruthless, Alex must balance his vision with the sacrifices required to achieve greatness. Filled with intrigue, passion, and the relentless pursuit of art, From Shadows to the Spotlight explores the price of genius and the cost of chasing an impossible dream. Will Alex’s obsession lead him to triumph, or will the shadows of his past and the enemies he had made along the way swallow him whole?

They say meeting your soulmate is destiny, a beautiful collision of two worlds meant to be together. ...But why did my "fated encounter" have to be a head-on collision with Cassidy Valentine, the most hostile, entitled, and terrifying girl at Hartwell Academy? And why did it involve ruining her limited-edition blazer with cheap bodega coffee? I'm Isaiah Angelo. I run on three hours of sleep, instant caffeine, and the desperate need to secure a future for my little sister. I don't have time for drama. I definitely don't have time for romance. So, naturally, the universe decided to play a cruel joke. I didn't just make an enemy of one rich girl. I stumbled into the lives of four. The Valentine Quadruplets. Identical faces, four distinct flavors of trouble. Now, I’ve been hired as their live-in personal assistant. I’m trapped in a mansion with the four most desirable—and impossible—girls in the city. Cassidy, the "Problem Child" who has sworn to make my life a living hell. Harlow, the overly affectionate airhead who thinks snacks solve all emotional trauma. Vivienne, the ice-cold perfectionist who wants to micromanage my breathing. Sabrina, the silent observer who looks at me like I’m a puzzle she’s dying to solve. The pay is life-changing. The job is suicide. Can I keep my scholarship, raise my sister, and manage the chaos of the Valentine household without losing my mind? I have a mountain of debt, a schedule from hell, and four billionaire heiresses who suddenly seem very interested in the "scholarship boy." This isn't a job. This is a survival horror game wrapped in silk sheets. WHAT TO EXPECT: - Ecchi Situations: The Valentines have zero concept of personal space, and the "accidents" are frequent, spicy, and very visual. - Harem Romance: Four identical sisters, one tired protagonist. The competition is fierce, the tension is high, and the jealousy is real. - Competent Protagonist: Isaiah is smart, hardworking, and sharp-tongued. He isn't dense; he's just too exhausted to deal with their thirst. - Class Gap Dynamics: A gritty look at the difference between the struggling working class and the absurdly wealthy elite. - Heartwarming Family Moments: Because behind the fanservice and comedy, Isaiah is doing it all for his little sister.

After rebirth, there was no need for hesitation—if the younger generation wouldn’t agree, he would go straight to the older one.

After obtaining a system that rewarded him with money and made him stronger whenever he lost it, the dream of becoming Superman no longer seemed so far away. He thought he had finally left all of his bad luck behind. From now on, only good luck awaited him. "Gambling is prohibited by the system rules?" It didn't matter. "I'll just go even bigger—Hollywood!" There was a movie about a man who betrayed the human race for a blue alien girl. It had a budget of 200 million dollars, and every studio refused to invest. "Sign me up." There was also a third-rate superhero movie about a billionaire playboy. "Sign me up." But as he looked at the list of movies that were now sitting above one billion dollars at the box office, he slowly fell into doubt. "What the hell?" "Isn't this a little too lucky?"

I just wanted to keep a low profile, but I accidentally kicked off a brand-new era in the world of Formula 1. First, there was Senna. Then, there was Schumacher. And now, there is— ~~---------------------- all credit goes to original author: 磨砚少年

After an award ceremony, a reporter found the great director Nanaya Kiryu who helped the heroine win the Best Actress trophy again and interviewed him. Reporter: Director Kiryu, congratulations on the heroine of your movie winning the Best Actress trophy again. May I ask why you can do it every time? Nanaya: Because I am very good at discovering the beauty of women.

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch ceaselessly and horrors—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by self made nightmares that never fade. The Common Era, where the concept of happiness has been abandoned. No story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is all that it took. Strength was never the problem. You survived long enough to know that looking strong, feeling strong, and being strong are three different lies people tell themselves to keep moving. Terra is heavy. The roads are long and boundless like the deserts. And family...family—that has been stripped away. Once? Twice? no, Thrice? You’ve walked. You’ve run. You’ve shot at everything. You've seen your friends perish away, your self-made family rotting away, and how do you cover it? By carrying a carload of supplies through every kind of conceivable catastrophe. ———————— I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. Lets see, it starts to pick up the pace slowly. It's a slow born sort of thing. short ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace.

Murdoch’s acquisition of Manchester United in 1998 became a reality. A group of young and passionate Red Devils fans launched a rebellion. They set up a new club to replace Manchester United, which had long been corroded by capital and could be taken over by another rich owner at any time. They set their training ground at Newton Heath, the birthplace of Manchester United. They dyed their jerseys with green and gold stripes. They saw themselves as the truest inheritors of the Green and Gold Army’s will and the spirit of the Red Devils. They proudly called themselves the [Red Rebels]! Because of extreme love, they chose betrayal! Ethan Yu is the leader of the Red Rebels, though what no one knows is that he is a transmigrator from 2010. He wants to use everything he knows to lead this group of rebellious fanatics from the bottom of English football, climbing all the way to the Premier League, and finally creating a legend in football history that belongs to the fans and belongs to the Red Rebels! All just to prove one sentence, a sentence that even Ferguson admired, once spoken by the famous Scottish coach Jock Stein. Without fans, football is nothing!!
