the glory field

"Sword Cultivators may die standing, but they shall never live on their knees!" Xie Xuanyi fell into the Northern Sea, yet, under the nourishment of the "Undying Spring," he unexpectedly welcomed a second life. Chronic ailments had faded, and new flames reignited. A single ember can set the fields ablaze. Enchantresses, Sword Immortals, Buddhist disciples... A multitude of demons danced chaotically as a great tide approached, heralding another golden age! In his previous life, his body was frail; in this life, he would refine his body with golden vital energy, achieving indestructible, crystal-clear Vajra bones! If the three hundred flying swords of the past were all broken, then he would forge an entire Sword Qi Cave Heaven! "Talismans, formation patterns, Daoist techniques—I only know so much—" Xie Xuanyi sat alone within a great array, with his former long sword placed across his knees. "Who says the path realized by Sword Cultivators can only be the Sword Dao?"

Year 2035. The game that rewrote reality. Glory Lords: Arcane War isn’t just the most immersive VR ever created — it becomes the world itself. Nations collapse into rankings. Power becomes law. And players become gods. For most, it’s a game. For Ethan Parker, it’s the end of everything. One reckless night in Las Vegas, he gambles on the only Legendary artifact in existence— the Stone of Glory. He loses. And that single loss costs him his future. When the game merges with reality, the man who wins it — Griffin Musk — rises as the ruler of a new world. Ethan, once the #1 player on Earth, is stripped of everything. His account. His power. His freedom. Broken. Tortured. Discarded. Until— he wakes up at the beginning. This time, he remembers everything. This time… he plays to win. And this time— the game breaks its own rules for him. He gains what no one else in the world possesses: A private territory. A system no one can access. And the only true Legendary unit in existence— a Green Dragon that evolves, thinks, and grows stronger with him. Not a pet. Not a summon. A force capable of rewriting the world itself. As Ethan rises faster than anyone in history, the world begins to notice. Governments. Militaries. Corporations. Hidden powers in the dark. And Griffin Musk. But Ethan isn’t here for revenge alone. He’s here to take back the future. And this time— he won’t lose.

Kellen Woods grew up never knowing a normal world. By the time he could walk, his mother and father had already sealed several serious gates that threatened the safety of his hometown. By the time his sister was born, they were famous worldwide. So the world held their breath for when Kellen and his sister came of age, waiting to see what kind of power they would awaken. His sister was just like his mom, same power, same class, while Kellen, woke up one day to find out what it meant to be special in a family the world watched. But in the worst way. Awakening weaker then your powerful parents wasn’t unheard of, but when your younger sister awakened at the same class as your parent, anyone would feel inferior. And Kellen, never one to ask for hand outs, left the comfort and safety of his hometown to become better than the weak brat everyone thought he was. Kellen went to the front lines, to where the gates normally broke out. From there, Kellen worked hard, and then worked some more until no one could doubt that he was good at his job. He got so good that even with his lower class, people would still hire him to help. But Kellen never took it to heart. He had learned a valuable lesson on the front lines. Classification only meant shit if you walked back out of the gate. Otherwise, shut your mouth and listen to those with more experience. They determined who made it out alive or not. But Kellen was tired now. He had gotten everything out of his system, and the fast paced life on the front lines didn’t suit him anymore. Now, he wanted to go home, buy a house, maybe find a nice man to settle down with, and live a normal life. All the while, the yellow eyes he’d met on the front lines haunted him, no matter how much he tried to forget about them. Especially since the Esper they were attached to refused to let him go.

Manchester United, once a dominant force in world football, finds itself struggling under Erik ten Hag despite having the financial power to rebuild. Big-money transfers fail to restore the club’s glory, forcing Ten Hag to shift his focus to homegrown talent. Among the overlooked prospects in the U18 squad is Leo Calderon, a 17-year-old central midfielder buried deep in the pecking order. Lacking physicality and dismissed by teammates as weak, Leo endures constant ridicule from those who dominate with strength and athleticism. But during one ordinary training session, everything changes—Leo suddenly sees passing lanes no one else can, angles of play invisible to even the most talented prospects. Yet, there’s a problem. His vision surpasses his ability. The passes he attempts don’t connect, his technique unable to match his newfound awareness. Coaches dismiss his efforts as sloppy, and his struggles continue. But one unexpected observer—a visiting League One assistant coach—notices something different. He watches Leo’s movements, seeing potential where others see failure. As Leo fights to prove himself in an unforgiving system, the question lingers—can he refine his raw talent before the club moves on without him? ****************************** Also, all rights reserved for the companies and teams and also players I use in the novel since I don't know how image rights work and I'm too lazy to search it up on Bing-, I mean google Also, character arts are not mine or AI-generated.

I had the worst life someone could ever have..all i ever wanted was a peaceful time. When i was crossing through crosswalk a Truck hit me, i died on the spot, and woke up as a Tree. The worst thing is, that its on empty field and literally nothing is happening!!

El Manchester United, otrora una fuerza dominante en el fútbol mundial, se encuentra en apuros bajo la dirección de Erik ten Hag a pesar de tener el poder financiero para reconstruirse. Los fichajes de grandes sumas de dinero no logran restaurar la glory del club, lo que obliga a Ten Hag a centrar su atención en el talento de la cantera. Entre las promesas ignoradas del equipo Sub-18 se encuentra Leo Calderón, un centrocampista de 17 años relegado al final de la jerarquía. Carente de físico y tachado de débil por sus compañeros, Leo soporta las burlas constantes de quienes dominan con fuerza y atletismo. Pero durante un entrenamiento cualquiera, todo cambia: Leo de repente ve líneas de pase que nadie más puede ver, ángulos de juego invisibles incluso para las promesas más talentosas. Sin embargo, hay un problema. Su visión supera su habilidad. Los pases que intenta no conectan, ya que su técnica no puede igualar su nueva percepción. Los entrenadores descartan sus esfuerzos por considerarlos torpes, y sus dificultades continúan. Pero un observador inesperado —el segundo entrenador de un equipo de la League One que está de visita— se da cuenta de algo diferente. Observa los movimientos de Leo, viendo potencial donde otros ven fracaso. Mientras Leo lucha por demostrar su valía en un sistema implacable, la pregunta persiste: ¿podrá pulir su talento en bruto antes de que el club siga adelante sin él?

O Manchester United, antes uma força dominante no futebol mundial, encontra-se em dificuldades sob o comando de Erik ten Hag, apesar de ter o poder financeiro para se reconstruir. Transferências de muito dinheiro não conseguem restaurar a Glory do clube, forçando Ten Hag a mudar seu foco para os talentos da casa. Entre os talentos negligenciados no time Sub-18 está Leo Calderon, um meio-campista central de 17 anos, esquecido no final da hierarquia. Sem porte físico e descartado pelos colegas de equipe como fraco, Leo suporta a zombaria constante daqueles que dominam com força e capacidade atlética. Mas durante um treino comum, tudo muda — Leo de repente vê linhas de passe que ninguém mais consegue ver, ângulos de jogo invisíveis até para os talentos mais promissores. No entanto, há um problema. Sua visão ultrapassa sua habilidade. Os passes que ele tenta não se conectam, sua técnica incapaz de acompanhar sua recém-descoberta percepção. Os treinadores descartam seus esforços como desleixados, e suas dificuldades continuam. Mas um observador inesperado — um auxiliar técnico visitante da League One — percebe algo diferente. Ele observa os movimentos de Leo, vendo potencial onde outros veem fracasso. Enquanto Leo luta para provar seu valor em um sistema implacável, a questão permanece — ele conseguirá refinar seu talento bruto antes que o clube siga em frente sem ele?

The sequel to Hunting the Field Guide. Kellen thought that his troubles were over. He'd dealt with the issue of the Poison Gate, he'd saved his sister, and he found out the location of where his trusty fellow Field Guide was located. As far as he was concerned, things were finally looking up for him. He could finally, finally live out the peaceful life he'd wished for when he'd first left the Front Lines. But then the E.A.G. reared it's old head. A hydra, a beast that just wouldn't die, Kellen was at his damn wit's end. All he wanted was to live out the life he'd literally carved out for himself. He just wanted to be happy with his Captain. Why was it so damn hard? ~ Meanwhile, Brent Jameson just wanted to be left alone. A man who knew he could have exceptional talent, Brent just wanted to do what he loved. Sleep around, escort people through Gates, and drink his problems away whenever he wanted to. He did not want to be the new Head of a Guild. That sounded like the exact opposite of what a man like him would want to do. He also didn't want to be attached. Maybe Kellen was right and he had a type, and maybe he avoided that kind of person, but hey, he was just a guy. He couldn't be with someone when he was worried at any minute that he could be teleported away from them and dropped into the ocean. Hell, it was dangerous for him to even have friends. Now that he was back 'home' with his lovely, wonderful family, he knew that he had made the right choice. Brent was better off alone.
