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.

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.

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.

I died like any good scholarship orphan— broke and mostly alone. Truck-kun didn't even slow down. Then I woke up. In a hospital bed that costs more than my old life was worth. In the body of Vincent Dorrington. A rich, handsome, disappointing second son of a tech empire. The doctors called it amnesia. I call it a miracle and a nightmare wrapped together. Vincent's family doesn't know I'm not him. His rivals expect a playboy they can push around. His father expects nothing at all. His girlfriend expects even less. Emilia Reynolds is only here because their families need each other. She tolerates Vincent at best. Dislikes him at worst. But when she looks at me now? There's something new in her eyes. And I don't know if that's a good thing. I'm just a dead orphan who got a second chance he never asked for. But if I'm going to live his life... I'm going to live it better than he ever did.

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?

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.

In a world on the brink of collapse, Daniel stood as humanity’s last hope—the first Awakened, a man who defied beasts, conquered otherworldly invaders, and confronted the very structure of reality itself. And yet, even he fell. Faced with an existence beyond defeat, his end seemed inevitable… until his ten disciples made an impossible choice. Sacrificing everything, they sent him back—beyond time, beyond space—to the very beginning of it all. Now, armed with forbidden knowledge and a power that should not exist, Daniel returns to a world that has not yet faced its ruin. But this time, he is not merely trying to survive the coming collapse—he begins a silent process of reshaping civilization itself, dismantling old systems while laying the foundations of a new order. Cities fall before they can ever become empires. What once was war becomes planning. And slowly, the world starts to be reorganized as a conscious construction. But he will not merely fight against fate. He will rewrite it.
