My Football Legends Chat Group

Rio Lance is a Ferrari engine with square wheels. He can run the 100 meters in 10.8 seconds, but he possesses the ball control of a traffic cone. In the ruthless world of Spanish football, he’s a "kick-and-run" merchant destined for the Sunday leagues. But fate has a different transfer deadline day in mind. With Girona FC bleeding out in the La Liga relegation zone and an injury crisis wiping out the first team, the manager needs a miracle. He needs a winger. Tomorrow. Rio knows he’s doomed to fail the trial. He’s fast, but he can’t shoot, pass, or dribble to save his life. That is, until his phone glitches out and installs a mysterious app. [Connection Established...] [The Football Legends Chat Group!] King_10: “A new rookie? He looks clumsy.” Hand_Of_King: “Clumsy? I like his attitude.” Total_Football_14: “Stop bickering. We have one night to turn this sprinter into a footballer.” Rio isn't hallucinating. He’s just been added to a group chat with the digital echoes of Pelé, Maradona, and Cruyff! They are bored. They are critical. And they are willing to share their GOAT-tier abilities but only if Rio can survive the pressure. With Maradona’s [La Gambeta] feint loaded into his muscle memory and Cruyff’s [Clockwork Eye] guiding his vision, the fastest kid in Spain is about to stop running away from the ball and start running the game. The first mission is simple. Save Girona from relegation, or get banned from the Chat Group forever. *** Let's get this novel up there!

Ashthorne Dominion: Reincarnated Mastermind of the Sigil Academy

Death should have been the end. Caelum Veylor, the silent mind behind countless war victories, was betrayed by the very commanders he uplifted. Left to burn alive in a collapsing strategy chamber, he carved a forbidden sigil into the floor—an ancient ritual meant to anchor his soul to existence through sheer will alone. He refused to die to incompetence. The ritual worked… imperfectly. Caelum awakens in a foreign world, inhabiting the frail and dying body of a disgraced noble child—also named Caelum Veylor—who perished during the entrance exam of Ashthorne Dominion Academy, the deadliest academy in the Syldros Empire. But something unnatural has taken root inside him. A Sigil that is not a Sigil. A thread that should not exist. A Proto-Sigil, born from a soul damaged during forced reincarnation, capable of devouring essence, stealing memories, mutating through anomalies, and interacting with reality on a conceptual level. The empire fears forbidden sigils. The Academy hides cosmic secrets. Ancient beings stir beneath the ground. The noble houses sharpen their knives. And in this world of politics, corruption, and annihilation, Caelum wears the perfect mask—quiet, polite, weak, harmless. Underestimating him becomes the empire’s greatest mistake. With genius sharpened by death, a soul held together with stolen threads, and a destiny tied to a sleeping Transcendent corpse beneath the Academy, Caelum begins his ascent. He does not want revenge. He does not seek redemption. He seeks perfection. And he will break this world apart to achieve it. When a villain builds himself into a god, who can stop him?

Oh God, I Woke Up In Battlemace 42 Million

Ajax expected oblivion. Instead, he woke up in the worst place imaginable—the grimdark nightmare of Warhammer 40k. Reborn in a stranger’s body at the height of the Great Crusade, Ajax discovers he has been bound to an ancient metaphysical construct calling itself the Anathema System, and branded a perpetual with a destiny he never asked for. Survival alone would be a miracle, but the System has other plans: it demands he save the Imperium of Man. Thrown into the ranks of the legendary Geno Five-Two Chiliad, Ajax must navigate a world where betrayal is common, trust is scarce, and even victory is paid for in blood. Haunted by violent soul-death, torn between his past life and the memories of the body he now inhabits, and stalked by the hidden agendas of gods and monsters, he begins to uncover a conspiracy festering within the very Legion sworn to humanity’s glory. Every step forward brings him deeper into the Great Crusade’s shadowed underbelly—where the wrong choice could doom entire worlds. Yet beneath the crushing weight of destiny, Ajax refuses to break. As he pushes the limits of his system, forges bonds with warriors born for war, and confronts ancient powers older than the Imperium itself, one truth becomes clear: the galaxy is burning, the future is dying, and hope is a rare and precious thing. If Ajax is going to survive—let alone change anything—he’ll have to rewrite the rules of the Great Game itself. Author’s Note: This is my first project of any note. I enjoy the 40k setting and hoped to bring that joy to others. I am looking for feedback, good or bad, so I can improve as writer. Thank you for reading

The Astral Codex

Dr. Cheng Jinzhou, a theoretical physicist, found himself transmigrated into the body of a sickly young heir of the prestigious Cheng family in the Great Xia Dynasty. Confronted with an unfamiliar world, abstruse classical texts, and the stern discipline of his Confucian tutor’s ruler, this former academic "slacker" despaired at his bleak future. His only companion was an emerald thumb ring he had brought with him from his past life. Just as he resigned himself to mediocrity, the ring unexpectedly activated—revealing a foreign magazine titled Playboy! It turned out this trinket was a terminal linked to the "Stellar Alliance Library," a cosmic repository of knowledge spanning countless civilizations. A voice calling itself "Customer Service 010" informed him that he could exchange for books from across the stars—but at a steep price: knowledge demanded payment in equivalent grain and resources. Penniless but privileged, Cheng Jinzhou embarked on his "pay-to-read" journey. The initial randomized exchanges were like opening blind boxes—sometimes yielding useless Elementary Mathematics, other times indecipherable alien scripts, draining his hard-saved allowances dry. But fate pivoted when he acquired Euclid's Elements and attended his clan’s ancestral rites. Armed with mathematics centuries ahead of his time, he effortlessly solved intricate problems, awing the assembly. His brilliance caught the eye of Liu Kuang, a fourth-rank Astral Scholar, and earned the favor of Transport Commissioner Liu Bin—who even betrothed his daughter to Cheng on the spot. Cheng soon discovered that in this world, "calculation is power." Astral Scholars wielded earth-shifting might through mathematics and celestial arrays, and the 21st-century knowledge in his mind became his greatest weapon. He applied calculus to slash costs in his father-in-law’s land reforms, bartering the savings for resources. Drawing from ancient Rome’s On Agriculture, he overhauled his estate, striving for "grain independence" to fuel his cosmic library. A ring that bridged the universe’s wisdom; a modern soul stirring storms in an alien realm. No longer a bedridden invalid, Cheng Jinzhou’s future now stretched skyward—a legendary path where knowledge was the ladder to the stars!
