Tutorial Target: I Farmed Skills While They Beat Me For 1,000 Years

They called it the "Tutorial Village." I called it hell. For one thousand years, I was the wooden practice dummy that every new player hacked at to learn their first skill. Warriors burned me. Rogues stabbed my kidneys. Mages used me for target practice while I screamed soundlessly, respawning instantly, feeling every goddamn hit. The System classified me as [E-Rank Monster: Immortal]. Bullshit. I was the bitch of the starter zone. But the System made one mistake: it didn't cap my skill acquisition. Every sword that cut me, every fireball that melted my face, every arrow that pierced my eye, I learned it. At 0.01% power. Stored it. Hoarded it like a dragon with a grudge. After ten million beatings, I had every skill in the game. I just couldn't use them. NPC code. Frozen. Helpless. Until Sung Min-ho walked in. Rank #1. The "Perfect Hero." The asshole who holds the speedrun record for fastest tutorial clear. He needed to shave 0.4 seconds off his time. So he hit me with his ultimate skill, something no one had ever used on a practice dummy before. And for the first time in a millennium, the pain broke the code. I moved. I caught his blade. I looked that smug bastard in the eye and said: "Welcome to the fucking tutorial." Now I'm loose in a world that treated me like furniture. I've got 10,000 skills at 0.01% power, a healing potion addiction, and a list of every player who's ever hit me. They practiced on me. Now I'm going to practice on them.

Beyond the Field

Seventeen-year-old "Marcus Hale" was destined for greatness. A prodigy in Westbridge Academy, the youth wing of a Premier League giant, he was only days away from making his senior debut. But in a single night, his dream shattered. An email. A video. A vial of drugs “found” in his locker. Branded a cheat, cut off by his academy, and abandoned by the system, Marcus loses everything he worked for. Behind it all lurks "Kael Veyron" his ex-teammate, his rival, his sworn enemy. Once a star himself, Kael’s jealousy runs deep, and Marcus’s fall is his greatest victory. With Marcus cast into obscurity, Kael steps into the spotlight. But fate has other plans. In his darkest moment, Marcus awakens a strange, haunting gift, "Shadow Play". Shards of broken reflections fuse into him, leaving him with the power to mirror and internalize the skills he witnesses, both on and off the pitch. What begins as an eerie instinct soon grows into something extraordinary, a weapon that could turn the tide of his ruined career. Guided by his former coach "Davor", who carries regrets of his own betrayal, Marcus sets out to rebuild from nothing. No elite club will touch him. No one believes him innocent. He starts again in the shadows of lower league football, carrying both his new power and the crushing weight of his tarnished name. But talent cannot be buried forever. Every match, every duel, every flicker of Shadow Play pulls Marcus closer to reclaiming the destiny that was stolen from him. To rise, he must master his gift, confront the darkness in Kael, and carve his own legend. Because football is more than a game. And Marcus Hale will go "beyond the field" to prove it.

Seven Seconds Ahead

What if you could see the future — just long enough to change it? Leon Vale was never meant to be a star. Too average. Too quiet. Just another benchwarmer with a dream far bigger than his stats. Until one brutal tackle during a rainy school match leaves him unconscious — and awakens something extraordinary. A mysterious system called PlaySight activates inside his mind, granting him a seven-second glimpse into the future during play. Alongside it comes a stat board tracking his every move — speed, stamina, dribbling, passing — each with the power to grow. But the System only rewards those who take risks, face fear, and push beyond their limits. Now, thrown into elite competitions, rivalries, and the twisted politics of youth football, Leon must learn to master his power before it consumes him. With teammates he barely trusts, a coach who doubts his worth, and a rising enemy who plays not just for goals — but domination — Leon’s journey from unknown to unstoppable has only just begun. Because on this pitch, talent isn't enough. You have to outthink the game itself.

You Woke Up Married

She wakes up with a pounding headache, a diamond ring on her finger, and blood on her dress. Across the room stands the most feared man in the city. Her husband. She doesn’t remember marrying him. She doesn’t remember the night before. She barely remembers walking into his headquarters at all. But he remembers everything. Adrian Vale, mafia king, strategist, the man whose name alone silences rooms, tells her one thing calmly, almost gently… “You chose this.” According to him, she showed up after her father’s funeral, furious and desperate. She demanded protection. Demanded power. Demanded him. And she offered marriage in exchange. Now every crime family in the city knows about their union. The alliance has already shifted the balance of the underworld. Rivals are circling. Allies are watching. And backing out is no longer an option. The problem… She has no memory of making that decision. And the more she tries to piece together that missing night, the more unsettling the fragments become. A shattered wine glass. His hands gripping her waist. Her voice saying something reckless. A whispered threat that did not sound like it came from him. As she steps into her new role beside him, she expects to be a pawn. Instead, she discovers she might have been the one who moved first. Adrian does not treat her like a hostage. He does not touch her without permission. He does not cage her. He watches her. As if waiting for something. As if he knows a version of her that she has yet to meet. Their marriage becomes a performance in public… and a quiet war in private. She challenges him in strategy meetings. He backs her decisions in front of enemies. Their arguments feel like foreplay wrapped in power struggles. But beneath the tension, something more dangerous begins to grow. Possession. Curiosity. A hunger neither of them expected. Then the truth begins to surface. The night she lost her memory was not an accident. She was drugged. And someone inside one of their families needed her married to him. Because together, they are harder to kill. As threats escalate, assassination attempts grow bolder, and betrayals creep closer to home, she realizes something terrifying… The woman she was that night may not have been weak or emotional. She may have been strategic. She may have uncovered a conspiracy linking her father’s death to a shadow syndicate manipulating every major crime family in the region. And marrying Adrian may have been her first move. Now she must decide… Does she trust the man who might be telling her the truth or the fragments of herself that feel sharper, colder, more ruthless than she ever imagined? Because if she did choose him… It wasn’t out of fear. It was for war. And somewhere between whispered strategy sessions, heated confrontations, jealous sparks, and dangerously intimate nights, they will both have to confront the most unsettling possibility of all… What if this marriage was never a mistake? What if it was inevitable? And what happens when two people who were supposed to be enemies realize they might be unstoppable together?
