My Ultimate Gacha System

David Drinkwater lived his entire career as football's biggest joke. Thirty seven years old, rejected by every major club, and called a "club whore" by fans across Europe, but at Wembley Stadium, in the rain, he finally proved them wrong. Championship playoff final between Millwall and Norwich, and in the 90th minute, he scored the winning goal, then he died. **[Ding. Ding.]** **「Host found: David Drinkwater.」** **「Synchronisation complete.」** He opens his eyes in an eighteen year old body. Demien Walter, a failed Fiorentina academy prospect and suicide attempt survivor with an overall rating of 48, no team, and no future, but David brought something impossible with him. **[Ding.]** **「Ultimate Gacha System activated.」** **「Mission: Rise from nothing. Become the greatest footballer in history.」** Training earns points while matches earn rewards, and achievements unlock legendary packs. Every pack opening could change everything, whether through common stat boosts, rare techniques, or epic abilities, yet there's always the ultimate prize. **[Ding.]** **「Diamond Pack opened.」** **「Congratulations. Andrea Pirlo — Regista Vision obtained. Passing +15. Vision +10. Legendary Trait unlocked: Deep-Lying Playmaker.」** From trialist to conquering the football world, every pack, every point, and every impossible moment building toward football immortality. They called him a failure once, and they called him wasted potential, but now, with forty years of wisdom in an eighteen year old body and a system that rewards every drop of sweat with power, David will rewrite football history. One pack at a time. **Some dreams get a second chance, and some legends get a second life, so this is his.**

The Man They Had to Hide

In a city where status decides visibility, Kang Doyun exists by design in the margins. Seoul is filled with men who work hard, speak carefully, and disappear the moment they are no longer needed. Doyun is one of them. A contract worker with no name worth remembering, he survives by being reliable, discreet, and invisible. He does not chase ambition. He does not demand recognition. He understands the rules of a world that rewards those already standing above it. Then he is chosen. Not publicly. Not proudly. But quietly, and with conditions. Doyun becomes a man who is allowed close to power, yet never acknowledged by it. Useful, but replaceable. Desired, but hidden. His proximity to elite women and closed rooms does not elevate his status. It exposes how low it truly is. Every interaction is measured. Every mistake carries a cost. Every advantage comes with a leash. In a society where reputation is currency and visibility is risk, being chosen does not mean being valued. As Doyun navigates the cold geometry of Seoul’s professional elite, he is forced to confront a brutal truth: comfort can be more dangerous than failure. Remaining hidden is safer, but it will also erase him. Rising means loss, scrutiny, and standing alone when protection is withdrawn. There is no shortcut upward. No public claim. No system that hands him power. Only decisions that slowly change how the world reacts when his name is spoken. The Man They Had to Hide is a male-oriented urban psychological novel about status, restraint, and the price of being close to power without belonging to it. A slow-burn journey through elite society where success is not defined by who wants you, but by whether you can stand when they no longer hide you.
