Thirty-three years old. For most people, it's the prime of life. For a footballer, it's the sound of a clock that never stops ticking. August 10, 2023. While all of England buzzes with anticipation for the Premier League's opening week, Miller Jolene O'Brian sits alone in a worn-down boxing gym in Manchester. No celebration, no birthday cake. Just sweat soaking through the sharp edges of his Mohawk Mullet. Today, he turns thirty-three — and his only gift is a brutal truth: he has no club. Released by Toronto FC at the end of last season, Miller has become something of a ghost. His agent — Uncle Connor — hasn't delivered a single promising call. His name has been quietly scratched off every wishlist at the top clubs. "Too old," the scouts say. "Too slow," the data analysts whisper. Yet Miller O'Brian is nothing if not stubbornly extraordinary. While his peers are already weighing retirement or chasing final paydays in the Gulf, Miller has turned down lucrative offers from Qatar and Saudi Arabia without a second thought. He carries both an American and an Irish passport — two nations ready to hand him the captain's armband tomorrow morning, if only he'd say the word. But Miller wants only one thing. One call from The Three Lions. Every morning, he raises both palms to the sky. The Crescent and Star tattooed on his left — a prayer for his mother. The Cross on his right — a tribute to the legacy of his father. Beneath the rough exterior and the cold, steel gaze that has frozen countless defenders in their tracks, Miller is something few would expect: a gentle soul. In the presence of his parents, the fearsome striker is simply a devoted son — soft-spoken, careful, and full of quiet love. Can a thirty-three-year-old ghost of a man still haunt the dreams of an entire nation? Only time will tell. Disclaimer: This story is entirely fictional.

PROLOGUE I was walking through the hallway when I noticed a crowd of students circling someone in the middle. And there I saw a man singing which cause the students to squeal in excitement. Covering my ears, I was about to walk away when suddenly my eyes caught a Goddess in the crowd. She's the only one who stands out among them. Her beautiful eyes shone in happiness, her cute smile that can make anyone stunned in their stanceㅡ like me, her nose that I want to kiss, and her whole appearance that made my whole being tingled in a way I have never felt before. Is she aphrodite's hidden daughter? Her beauty is etherealㅡcliché, I know. My heart starts to beat faster and faster in each seconds, and it seems like I'm in heaven just by staring at her. ---------- But my smile broke the moment I saw the man who was singing approached her before kneeling in front of her and held her hands before giving it a chaste kiss. My heart broke into a thousand pieces when I saw how her smile went wide before nodding at the man. I didn't even bother to cover my ears when all of the students screamed so loud that almost break my eardrum. Silly me for crying when I just met her today. [And that's how I fell in hell from heaven.]

Yunyun is reincarnated into a post-apocalyptic novel with a powerful female protagonist. Unfortunately, she isn’t the heroine. She’s just a minor cannon fodder character… destined to die early. But after awakening memories of the novel, Yunyun accidentally reveals the future through her thoughts— [Mommy, boohoo… your scumbag husband has been cheating on you for years and even has a child with another woman. In the end, they’ll join forces to cripple and torture you to death!] [Uncle, you’ll be betrayed by an ungrateful subordinate and driven out of your own luxurious home, left to freeze to death in the snow!] [Grandpa… Grandma…] In the original story, only her young aunt—the novel’s female lead—survives to the very end, killing her enemies with her own hands… only to live on as something neither fully human nor a ghost. Before they can recover from learning their fates, another thought leaks out— [Sigh, the apocalypse is coming soon. As a three-year-old cannon fodder, can I go offline early? I don't want to suffer through the end of the world…] Looking at the little milk dumpling in their arms, pretending to be silly just so she can laze around… What else can the Bai family do but spoil her? They hoard supplies, renovate and fortify their home, and prepare in advance for the coming apocalypse. Meanwhile, little Yunyun follows her protagonist aunt, accidentally kicking off the base-building plot and helping create a super base where food and clothing are abundant, even in the apocalypse. Step by step, the Bai family rises to power. In the end, Yunyun is dumbfounded: [Wait… wasn't I supposed to be cannon fodder?! Why does this feel like a "pampered lucky baby" story?!] The Bai family: Their little Yunyun is, indeed, their precious lucky baby.
