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 ---

Strength is measured in seconds. Karate is built on a ruthless system of rankings, discipline, and competition where every match is decided by precision, timing, and control. At the top stands one title above every fighter: Judan, the 10th Dan. A rank so rare it represents complete mastery, a lifetime of discipline, and a name that defines an era. Many enter the path. Most are forgotten. Only those who can evolve under pressure, endure defeat, and rise beyond talent ever come close. Because here, you do not chase victory. You chase the level of legends.

‎Kael Voss is nineteen years old, broke, and works the night shift at a city morgue because no one else would hire him. ‎He is not special. He was not chosen. He has no destiny. ‎ ‎What he has is a dead man's arm with a mark on it, a basement crack in the fabric of reality, and a debt counter on his skin that starts at zero. ‎ ‎It will not stay at zero. ‎ ‎Beneath the modern world runs the Rift ‎ a dying supernatural layer leaking into reality, bleeding hunger and monsters and rules that nobody wrote down. Most people never see it. The ones who do either survive and become something different, or they don't survive at all. ‎Kael steps through anyway. ‎Not because he is brave. Because he has done the math, and sitting still is already losing. ‎ ‎Every time he survives the Rift, he gains something. Strength. Perception. Abilities that have no name yet. But the Rift does not give anything away. Every ability comes with a debt attached, a cost calculated after the fact, collected at a time and in a currency he does not get to choose. He does not know what is collecting. ‎ ‎That is the part that should scare him. ‎It does. He just does not let it stop him. ‎HOLLOW THRONE is a dark progression fantasy set in the modern world. It follows one cynical, methodical young man learning to navigate a hidden war between the surface world and what lives beneath it, armed with a sharp mind, growing power, and a bill he cannot afford to ignore. ‎ ‎The debt always comes due. ‎The question is whether Kael is still standing when it does.

Hao Ren was born in another world and has lived for over twenty-two years being nothing but a definition of the word, average. After a high school reunion, the young man sat down on the beach shore, and mumbled to the sky, "God of Novels, you are unfair. I spent forty years of my life doing nothing but reading books and stories written by others. I worked hard to manifest this rebirth, and yet you did not bless me with anything. Why?" A voice echoed in his mind, "Host, you have the Omnipotent Husband System." Hao Ren scoffed and scolded the system, "What is the use of having you when you are not even active? Are you shitting with me, you bastard?!" The system replied, "Host the condition for activating the system is to get married."

Han Junho is seventeen years old. He lives alone in a single room on the commercial edge of Seolmun — a city whose name means threshold — pays his own rent, works a part-time job that has just closed without warning, and calculates, each month, whether the numbers will hold until the future his parents promised him becomes the present he can finally live in. He is not remarkable by any measure the world has developed for measuring such things. He moves through Seolmun with the specific invisibility of someone who has learned, through necessity rather than choice, not to draw attention. He reads. He plans. He continues. Then the gates open. Across Seolmun, dimensional gates tear through ordinary space and release beings from other worlds into the streets — beings displaced mid-transit through connections that have begun, without warning or explanation, to collapse. The human response organizes with the specific efficiency of a civilization that has no framework for what is happening and builds one anyway: factions, rankings, a system that classifies the awakened and deploys them against what the catastrophe is producing. The system is thorough. It is well-intentioned. When it attempts to classify Han Junho, it produces no result. He is designated Unregistered and set aside. What the system cannot measure, it cannot see. What it cannot see is this: the gates opening across Seolmun are not the catastrophe. They are the symptom. The catastrophe itself is a process — vast, indifferent, traveling through the dimensional connections between every planet in every universe that has ever existed — and it has been consuming worlds for longer than Seolmun has existed to be consumed. Every universe has fallen to it. Every version of this story has ended the same way. Every version except this one. So far. Somewhere above the story, something is watching. It has been watching since before the first word was set down. It knows what Junho does not know — what he is, what is positioned against him, how many times this has been attempted, and how many times it has failed. It knows what kind of reader you are. It knows whether you are cheering for him or not. And it knows, in the specific way of something that has witnessed every version of this story across every universe where it was attempted, that what happens next depends not only on Junho — but on what you bring to the pages that follow. THE LAST EXISTENCE is a story about the last surviving universe, the last version of one boy, and the last attempt at something that has never yet succeeded. It is also, depending on what kind of reader you are, something else entirely. You are already part of it. Turn the page.

The old gods didn't die. They were buried. In a neon-soaked megacity where corporations have replaced pantheons and the poor districts rot beneath the Spire's cold light, nineteen-year-old Kai is nobody. A delivery boy in District Nine — the lowest of the low, the forgotten end of a forgotten city. Then he nearly dies in a gang war gone wrong, and something ancient wakes up in his blood. The Bloodline of the Last Street God. Now Helix Corporation wants to harvest him. The warring gangs want to use him. And the buried gods of every district are waiting — dormant beneath decades of concrete and corporate erasure — for someone to remember them. Kai has no money, no status, and no army. He has the alleys. He has the streets. He has the pulse of a city that was never truly dead. And he's done delivering for other people.

In a world where power is traded through skills, Riven is just a dungeon scavenger—picking through ruins, selling whatever little he finds to survive. The system isn’t built for people like him to rise, and he knows it. Until the day he breaks a skill. Not by using it, but by taking it apart. What he pulls out is useless on its own, but it opens a door no one else can see. With the right pieces and the right base, he can turn ordinary skills into something far more valuable. Riven steps into the underground market, where deals are quiet, profits are high, and mistakes don’t get forgiven. As his modified skills begin to circulate, he starts building influence, and eventually something much bigger—a network that doesn’t just follow the market, but bends it. In a world run by strength, Riven isn’t trying to be the strongest. He’s building something far more dangerous.

When the Otsutsuki Clan descended to harvest the Earth, the planet’s primal will triggered a "Self-Rescue Mode," plunging humanity into the **Era of Universal Ninjutsu**.

While the world's elite compete for contracts with legendary "Kage-level" spirits to secure their dominance, Jiang Chen does the unthinkable.

To Jiang Chen, he has just merged the chakras of **Indra and Ashura**, awakening the long-lost **Power of the Six Paths.** The fallout is immediate. His fiancée, a "Heaven’s Chosen" who recently contracted with the Fifth Mizukage, **Mei Terumi**, delivers her cold ultimatum in front of the world’s cameras: > "The Jiang family needs a titan of the Kage-rank to survive the Otsutsuki, not a fool who plays with children. I am now a Kage-level Contractor; my path leads to the stars, while yours ends in the dirt. The engagement is over. From now on you aren't even worthy to stand in my shadow. **Get lost.**" Jiang Chen only smiles. They see two Genin; he sees the super experts who ended the War.
