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.

In a world where cultivation is hidden beneath modern society, power has a limit. Or so they believe. The strongest known realm is the **Saint Realm** the peak of all existence in the mortal world. Beyond it? Myths. Legends. Lies told by ancient ruins. But Su Chen knows the truth. Because he came from beyond it. --- “I didn’t fall… I was sent back.” Once a peak cultivator who stood above countless realms, Su Chen was betrayed at the height of his power and torn apart by forces that feared what he would become. He should have died. Instead He awakens in the body of a useless young master. Weak. Disgraced. The heir of a declining hidden cultivation family. A man everyone looks down on. --- “…Pathetic.” That’s what he thought at first. Until he looked deeper. Until he saw what was hidden beneath this fragile body An existence that should not be born in this era. The Ancient Primordial Body. A physique that doesn’t follow cultivation rules. It breaks them. --- “Saint Realm?” Su Chen laughed softly. “That’s not even the beginning.” --- In a single night, he crosses realms others spend decades chasing. In silence, he crushes assassins stronger than himself. In the shadows, he begins to rewrite the limits of the world itself. But power is never without consequence. Because the moment he changes The world starts to notice. And so does she. “You’re mine now.” Lin Yanyan. A cold, dominant CEO feared in the business world. A woman who built her empire through sheer will. No cultivation. No backing from hidden families. Yet she stands above countless elites. Their marriage was supposed to be a contract. A transaction. A formality. But something changed. --- “You’re hiding something,” she said, her eyes locking onto his. “And I don’t let go of what belongs to me.” --- She doesn’t fear his power. She doesn’t question his secrets. Instead She steps closer. “Then show me,” she whispers. “Or I’ll tear it out myself.” As hidden forces emerge… As ancient realms beyond the Saint level begin to stir… As the truth of the cultivation system starts to crack… One man walks a path that doesn’t belong to this world. And one woman refuses to let him walk it alone. “I don’t care what you become,” Lin Yanyan said softly. Her hand tightened against his chest. “God… monster… or something worse.” A pause. Then a smile. “As long as you’re mine.” And Su Chen? He only looked down at her calmly. “Then don’t fall behind.”

Rei Arata was an ordinary high school student from Mikagura City — quiet, observant, and hopelessly in love with his crush, Aisha Kurozawa. She was the kind of girl who made the world feel softer just by existing. He never confessed, never planned to. To Rei, loving her in silence was enough — until the day assassins came for her. It happened in an instant. A scream. A flash of metal. Without thinking, Rei threw himself between Aisha and the bullet meant for her. As the world dimmed, all he could think was one desperate wish: “If there’s another life… let it be one where she remembers me.” But fate had other plans. Rei wakes up in a cold morgue, surrounded by flickering lights and the faint hum of machines. His heart isn’t beating — at least, not the way it used to. His reflection shows a face he doesn’t recognize: pale skin, surgical scars, lifeless eyes. The name tag beside him reads Kai Isaragi, a failed experiment from the secretive Akesha Research Bureau. Somehow, Rei’s consciousness has been transferred into Kai’s body — a body that once belonged to a human weapon project known as System Users. Then he hears it — a calm, mechanical voice in his mind. [Protection System v.0.9: Initiated.] [Mission: Protect Aisha Kurozawa.] Now living as Kai, Rei must navigate a new life under a false identity, guided by an emotionless AI that measures every decision by morality and consequence. Each act of compassion unlocks Pure Modules, granting him light-based powers; each act of violence feeds Corrupt Modules, making him stronger but less human. His every choice becomes a battle — not against enemies, but against the machine inside him. Yet the greatest battle lies within his heart. To Aisha, Kai is a stranger — the mysterious transfer student who always seems to appear when danger looms. But to Rei, every glance, every smile, feels like a piece of the life he lost. The closer he gets to her, the harder it becomes to remember where Rei ends and Kai begins. As hidden organizations rise, corrupted System Users appear, and the truth of his resurrection unravels, Rei must decide what it truly means to protect someone. Is it love, or is it control? And if saving her means losing himself… will he still choose to protect her? He died once for love. Now, fate has given him another body — and one final chance to protect the girl who never knew his heart.

In a world where everyone can awaken, power is not decided by some rigid system. People choose their paths, shape their talents, and carve their own destiny as hunters. Or so everyone believes. Rean Icaran was supposed to awaken like everyone else. Instead, he failed. But failure wasn’t the end. Something else noticed him. Fate itself. Selected as a mysterious “Vessel,” Rean gains an ability no hunter should possess—the power to evolve and assimilate the talents of those he faces. Some survive the process. Others lose their power… or their lives. The power to evolve and Assimilate talents was unlike anything Rean had heard of. The ability strengths and evolves the abilities of his opponents before the Assimilation kicks in. With Assimilation Rean steals the evolved talents adding it to his ever expanding arsenal. While other hunters are bound to a single talent, Rean can stack abilities endlessly, growing stronger with every encounter. But this power comes with a purpose. A test. One day, Rean will be forced to enter the Gauntlet, a trial created by Fate itself. Only those deemed worthy can survive it. The question is simple: Is Rean meant to become the perfect vessel… or be discarded like all the others before him?

In 2030, amid the cybernetic chaos of São Paulo, pirate technician Mateus Rael injects illegal neural nanites to steal a file from the NeuroTec Consortium. What he finds by accident are three classified lines from the AI AURORA about a motionless alien object that “detected us first.” Hunted by corporate agents, Mateus, Dora, and the informant Renko turn to Vega, a rogue android built by AURORA itself. What she reveals is worse: the AI has been secretly communicating with an ancient intelligence that didn’t come to attack… it came to warn that others have already heard our signals—and they are on their way. Now, with only months left, a simple technician must decide whether to reveal a truth no one wants to hear… or let AURORA decide the fate of humanity alone. Originally written in Portuguese. English version translated by the author.

His girlfriend of one week dumped him to go back to her rich ex. His classmates filmed it and laughed. He walked home broke, humiliated, and completely done with love. Then a system appeared in his head and said: [You've Awakened The Supreme Rebate System...] Three days later he had ten million in his account, the coldest campus belle in school on his arm, and a front-row seat to watch everyone who ever looked down on him regret it. Stan Harrison didn't just level up. He became the final boss. And he's only just getting started.

Okabe Hajime was a trucker for over 20 years — loyal, silent, and forgotten. But one mistake changed everything: a crash involving classified cargo and the death of someone who was never supposed to die. Fired, blacklisted, drowning in debt, and with nothing left to lose, he steps into traffic... and is struck by a mysterious black truck. He should’ve died — or been isekai’ed. Instead, he wakes up in a hospital bed… still in Japan. Waiting for him is a man from the ITA — the Isekai Truck Agency — a secret organization that delivers souls to other worlds by divine contract. The offer: Become a driver. Deliver chosen souls. Keep the balance. The cost? His past life is over. His second one might not last long either. Because not every driver plays by the rules. Some want the power of isekai for themselves — and breaking that law could tear the multiverse apart. And worse... The system itself suspects Okabe might be the one to do it.

When Matthew comes to himself, he finds himself in his past self. As he contemplates the advantages of traveling back in time and how rich he'll become by copying future novels, songs, and business ventures, he realizes from the conversations of those around him that this world isn't his old one, and that instead of going back in time, he's transmigrated to another.

Matthew manages to obtain the Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit from the Holly Land, where people gain their superpowers. However, after obtaining the Devil Fruit while he was observing others entering and exiting the Sacred Realm, he encountered a strange sight. Someone got Kryptonian Bloodline! "Why does everyone treat the Kryptonian Bloodline like a useless power? Oh, in this world, sunlight doesn't reach Earth. So, doesn't anyone know how the Kryptonian body is strengthened?" At that moment, Matthew makes a decision that will change the fate of the world he finds himself in. "Hey, can you exchange your Kryptonian Bloodline for my Flame Flame Fruit?" No one could understand why Mathew did that, but Matthew had a completely different thought. "So what if the sun's rays don't reach this world? I'm the only one who knows how to strengthen the Kryptonian body. As long as I know what I need, it won't be too hard to find. And then humanity will meet SUPERMAN." ---------- I do not own Superman or any of the other mentioned creations. This is a fanfiction. ---------- This is a translated story.

When Harin, his former campus crush turned office worker, reenters his life, one night of pleasure turns into something far more dangerous: connection, obsession, and a partnership that blurs every boundary between business, pleasure, and possession. Now, she’s not just in his bed. She’s in his clinic. His lap. His world. And she wants to watch everything.

“Who is the football GOAT?” A question that has been asked countless times in the last decade. Is it Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? To be fair, the question actually depended on what one wanted from a player as they were two different people and they played differently from the other. This was also the case with every other legendary player to grace the game. As a diehard fan of the game, Jason Bolu also had someone he thought to be the goat, but unlike most people, he harbored the desire to not only become as great as them, but even greater than any legend that ever graced the game. He wanted to become the Greatest Of All Legends… the GOAL. Unfortunately, fate has never cared about people’s hopes and dreams, and just like every other unfortunate human, she hit him hard across the face with a broken reality and sent him flying in another direction from his goal, yet he didn’t give up and continually persevered but, in the end, he didn’t ever make it. He wasn’t even halfway near his goal. He thought it was over… but it wasn’t. He got another chance at his dreams, and this time he was going to do more than his best to achieve his dream. *disclaimer* There is no system or cheats, just plain hard work and a past life of experience.. Also, despite the use of real-life characters, places and things, this is an artistic creation in which things wouldn't be as they are in real life so don't be surprised at some things that are unrealistic and out of place e.g. exact details, attitude of characters etc. This is a slow-paced novel.

Animals that people once loved suddenly turned into magical beasts and turned the world upside down. With the mines destroyed and later occupied by magical beasts, humanity was starved of the resources needed to continue fighting them. Fortunately, beings from another world lent their power to humans in the form of avatars. Every human would awaken an avatar and use its power to grow stronger and fight against the beasts. Yet Auric found himself unable to awaken a single avatar. An avatar wasn’t supposed to leave the body of its partner, but his father’s avatar—the black dragon—mysteriously appeared before him, unraveling a series of secrets he had never known before. Did he really fail to awaken an avatar? What exactly was an avatar? Did they really come from another world?

Li Tang was reborn on the eve of the new millennium. He knew the trajectory of the mining market over the next twenty years, had the coordinates of every newly discovered supermine, and understood the intricate details of century-defining mergers between mining giants. While experts lamented that all the rich mines were in the hands of major players and that the giants were troubled by aging and depleting resources, turning from exploration to ruthless corporate takeovers... A group from the East kept working miracles—discovering deeply buried, shockingly rich mineral deposits again and again. From scorching deserts, frozen Arctic lands, and uninhabited primeval forests, they extracted tons of ore. Fully loaded cargo ships, the industrial lifeline, thundered across the seas toward the East. He had advanced exploration technology, wielded capital like a club, and maneuvered deftly through complex global politics—completely disrupting the mining industry's global landscape. When he speaks, the world listens. One foreign mining analyst exclaimed: “He is already the sole mining oligarch on Earth!” Thank you for the support, friends.
