Legacy NO.9

Heldrix Beauséjour died at fifty years old on a street corner, thirty years after a girl lied and a jury believed her. Ten years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, then twenty more as a ghost nobody would hire, while the football career that could have been his burned to ash before it ever started, but the truth came out too late. She confessed on national television while he bled out on cold pavement, struck by a truck he never saw coming. His last words were a wish. **|WISH ACKNOWLEDGED.|** **|REGRESSION PROCESS INITIATED.|** He opens his eyes at nineteen years old. March 15th, 2026, at a party, in a bedroom, with the girl who destroyed his life straddling him and tearing her own shirt to frame him for assault, but this time he knows what's coming. This time he screams first. **|CRITICAL MISSION: ESCAPE FALSE ACCUSATION.|** **|STATUS: COMPLETE.|** **|WELCOME TO THE LEGACY SYSTEM.|** Heldrix Beauséjour, Pau FC Academy striker, with an overall rating of 53—barely good enough to survive the academy and nowhere near professional standard, yet he brought something impossible back with him. Thirty-one years of obsessive football knowledge from watching every match he could find while rotting in obscurity, and a system that tracks every movement in real-time. **|Current Rating: 53/99.|** **|Finishing: 51. Speed: 58. Jump: 46.|** **|Pathetic by professional standards.|** **|SYSTEM: "With those stats, I don't even know how you are still at the academy."|** The system doesn't grant instant power-ups or manipulate time, but it will make him unstoppable, because every training session earns stat points while every match pushes limits, and the grind never stops until he reaches the top. **|QUEST COMPLETE: 100 SHOTS ON TARGET.|** **|REWARD: +2 SP.|** **|FINISHING: 51 → 52.|** From the bottom of Pau FC Academy to Ligue 2 breakthrough, while critics call him a fluke and rivals call him lucky, but Heldrix knows the truth. Hard work beats talent when talent stops working. **|OVERALL RATING: 60 → 70 → 80.|** **|Elite Player Status Achieved.|** From Pau FC to top European clubs, where Champions League nights become reality and the Ballon d'Or podium gets closer with every season, and the world starts asking where this unknown striker came from. Nobody knows he's already thirty-nine years old. **|OVERALL RATING: 85 → 92 → 99.|** **|GOAT Status Achieved.|** **|Mission Complete: Become the greatest footballer in history.|** They destroyed him once with lies, so they called him a criminal and a failure and threw away his future, but now, with the mind of a thirty-nine-year-old in a nineteen-year-old body and a system that rewards every drop of effort with power, Heldrix will rewrite football history.

Plants vs Dungeon

When dungeon gates opened across the world, it became a gold rush. Hunters chased glory. Guilds chased power. Corporations chased profit. Phong Tran awakened as a Level 1 Farmer. No skills. No passives. A broken EXP bar that never moved. So he sold energy drinks instead. Leg warmers. Electrolytes. Power banks. If everyone else was digging for gold, he’d sell the shovels. Then Josh came. University golden boy. Gym-built. Son of a man who could erase problems with a phone call. “Protection fee.” Phong refused. He woke up in a hospital bed, beaten within an inch of death. His aunt and uncle were gone. No bodies. No investigation. No media coverage. Just silence. Then, as if the universe had a sense of humor, his system finally gave him a quest: Plant and harvest 10 potatoes in the dungeon. That’s it. No penalties. No forced missions. No ticking clock. No promise of justice. Just a choice. Phong takes it. The potatoes mutate. Then other plants followed. Chilies spit burning rounds. Sweet potatoes bulk up into blunt-force bruisers. Garlic turns chemical-warfare illegal. Enoki mushrooms rattle like dungeon-grade machine guns. His crops become his frontline. Phong doesn’t want to conquer the dungeon. He wants to build something inside it. A farm. A hearth. A settlement for people tired of being disposable. He won’t let revenge be the only thing he grows. Revenge lit the spark. But it won’t be the only thing he grows. And if the most powerful man in the city comes looking to finish what his son started... He’ll learn something the dungeon already knows. This farm fights back. (I’ll post roughly 3 chapters a day for the first two weeks, then ease back to 1 chapter a day after burning through my backups. The times will be around 9 a.m., then 18–20 server time. That’s it. Bye.)

A Trader’s Ancestor Is a Feng Shui Master

• 1-2 New Chapters Every Day Ethan Park did everything right. He graduated from Wharton, landed a coveted seat on a Wall Street equity derivatives desk, and promised himself he would never waste the sacrifices his immigrant parents made. Instead he finds himself drowning in volatility, office politics, and the quiet humiliation of being a junior trader who is always one mistake away from disaster. Then his ancestor appears in his toilet. Park Gyeong-seok, a Joseon era feng shui master who once served the royal court, fell into a river during the chaos of the Imjin War and never fulfilled his final duty. Now he wakes up in twenty first century Manhattan, furious, soaked in pride, and determined to correct the catastrophic flow of energy in his descendant’s life. Ethan does not believe in spirits or geomancy. He believes in pricing models and risk limits. Unfortunately for him, the old master can read the currents of fortune running through his apartment, his office, and even the market itself. As small adjustments begin to shift Ethan’s luck on his tech volatility desk, coincidence starts to look like design. Success brings attention. Attention brings rivals. And bending fate for profit comes with a cost neither of them fully understands. Complicating matters further is Mei Lin, a sharp Chinese-American architect with her own complicated relationship to tradition. As Ethan falls for her, the world of feng shui expands beyond one stubborn Joseon scholar into a larger web of Chinese myth, lineage, and unseen contracts that bind cities and people alike. Between modern finance and ancient geomancy, ambition and balance, love and pride, Ethan must decide whether he wants to master the market or learn what it truly means to stand in the right place at the right time. On Wall Street, everyone is chasing an edge. Ethan just happens to have one arguing with him from the bathroom.

The Janitor Who Cleans Up After Gods

Chen Wei is a burned-out, middle-aged man who took a night janitor job because it was the only thing left that asked nothing of him. No interviews. No explanations. Just a mop and an empty building and the voicemails from his daughter he never answers. For eight months, that was enough. Then a woman named Director Zhao steps out of an elevator at 3:17 AM and tells him his real contract started tonight. His first assignment: Floor 47. Someone left a god in the breakroom again. The mop, it turns out, is not a mop. It's an RST-7 — a Reality Stabilization Tool — disguised because nobody questions a janitor. And Chen Wei has just been hired by the Cleanup Committee, an organization that has existed since the first god made the first mess. They don't govern. They don't intervene. They just clean. The gods are real. They're also exhausted, forgotten, and prone to flooding office buildings with grief. They don't need someone to fight them. They need someone to sit with them. To witness them. To stay. Chen Wei is very good at staying. He's been staying away from his daughter for eight years. It's the only skill he has left. What follows is not a power fantasy. Chen Wei will never be the strongest. He will never master a forbidden technique or unlock a hidden bloodline. He will level up by losing things — memories, feelings, pieces of himself — one cleanup at a time. But somewhere between a hearth god throwing pots in an empty apartment, a war god fighting a battle that ended before this world began, and an exhausted creator who just needs someone to tell him it's okay to stop — Chen Wei starts to understand something. Presence is harder than power. Staying is harder than winning. And the most dangerous thing in the universe might be a middle-aged man with a mop who has nothing left to lose. His daughter is still calling. One day, he'll answer.
