What happens when football transcends sport and becomes a matter of national survival? Welcome to the Ghost Archipelago, the competition that redefines the meaning of "consequences." Club and national teams from around the world face off not just for glory, but for a prize that can change the fate of a nation: a miraculous bonus of 50 billion in GDP. Victory means ascension, development, and prosperity. But what would a colossal prize be without an equally high price? For the losers, the punishment is bankruptcy. The World Bank will step in, draining their nations' GDP until the next edition of the competition, condemning them to a decade of stagnation and misery. In this archipelago of games, every pass, every shot, and every goal carries the weight of millions of lives. Stadiums are battlefields, and players, heroes and villains alike, fight to save their homelands from ruin. Will the top team of a nation on the brink of disaster achieve victory? Or will they succumb to the pressure and become just another ghost in the archipelago? Prepare for a story where football is the last hope and failure is a real sentence.

Jeremy Lynch thought his chance at football greatness was long gone. A freestyler, a showman, a YouTube star — but never the professional he once dreamed of being. Then, in 2025, fate plays its cruelest trick: he wakes up in his fifteen-year-old body, standing on Arsenal’s trial pitch. Only this time, something else wakes up with him. A system. A voice. Cold, ruthless, demanding. It calls itself the Egoist Football System — and it doesn’t want Jeremy to be a team player. It wants him to become an egoist, the kind of merciless striker who lives for goals, glory, and domination. Every action. Every decision. Every touch of the ball comes with missions, stat boosts, and punishments. Jeremy is shocked, terrified… but also addicted. For the first time, he has the power to shape himself into more than a trickster. But power always comes with a price. To succeed, Jeremy must throw away humility, loyalty, and maybe even his humanity — until nothing is left but the ultimate egoist. This time, Jeremy Lynch won’t just play football. He’ll own it. ---
