"The worst manager of our generation." - Orion Newsletter. "Where did it all go wrong for Sczerny?" - Saint John's Pen. "One of the worst falls from grace ever." - Hamilton Vice. "Doubt he could win even if he coached an all-star team." - USA Times. The headlines didn't lie. Paul Sczerny had once been a top coach, leading Norwich to victory after victory at the highest level of football. Then, suddenly, everything collapsed. His team, comfortably sitting at fourth place, plummeted eighteen spots into the relegation zone. He was sacked. But his reputation still carried weight, earning him another shot in the Sky Bet Championship. It didn't matter. Sczerny failed again, this time relegating Luton, the very team he had been trusted to save. Sacked once more. Desperate, he took every opportunity that came his way, hoping to turn things around. But nothing worked. He lost match after match, defeat piling upon defeat. Eighty consecutive losses. He tried everything from switching formations to signing new players but the results never changed. He couldn't win. He couldn't even climb a single spot in the standings. His fall was staggering. From managing in the Premier League to the depths of the Vanarama National League. Now, he found himself at Halles Sieger, a struggling German club, demoted after four disastrous seasons. This was it. His last chance. If he failed here, no club would touch him again. But Sczerny was determined. He didn't care how long it took, he would win. He had to. Because everyone knew the truth: if he failed this time, he was finished. [All characters, events, and situations depicted in this work are fictional.

THE CROWN OF WATERS

Noel Vallis, a young boy born into the noble Vallis family, has always lived in the shadow of expectations. As the heir to a powerful estate, his life seems destined to follow a strict path, but Noel has always felt out of place. Raised in a world of discipline and secrets, he yearns for something more—something that doesn’t conform to the rigid rules of his family. When Noel discovers his mysterious connection to the ancient koi pond on his family’s estate, he unwittingly awakens a dormant power tied to his bloodline. Magic surges within him, but it’s a power that cannot be controlled. A dark crystal refuses to react, and Noel is left questioning his place in the Vallis legacy. His only confidant, Ethen—his childhood friend and the son of his nanny—reveals that Noel is not just any heir, but the true heir to an ancient, magical legacy tied to the very land itself. The Vallis family’s secrets have been hidden for centuries, lost during the Empire Unification War. No heir has appeared in over 300 years, and Duke Vallis, Noel’s father, remains unaware of the true history that binds their family to an ancient seal—the Throne of Waters. This seal lies within the koi pond, a place that has always comforted Noel, but now holds a deeper meaning. It is a key to immense, untapped power, and only Noel, as the true heir, can unlock it. With the help of Ethen, Noel begins a journey of self-discovery and magical awakening. But the power within him comes with a price. As he grows stronger, he must confront his fears, his painful past, and the dark secrets of the Vallis family. The road ahead is fraught with danger, and Noel must learn to master the magic that flows through his veins, all while protecting his family’s legacy from those who seek to control it for their own gain.
