The Shadow of Great Britain

“Next, we have the most noble recipient of the Order of the Garter, the Grand Cross of Saint Michael and Saint George, the Grand Cross of the Bath, the Victoria Cross and the lower grades of Knighthood, the leader of the anti-colonial movement, the bell-ringer of the East India Company, the hero of the Crimean War, a Fellow of the Royal Society, a lifelong dear friend of literary giants such as Dickens and Great Dumas, a steadfast supporter of scientific luminaries like Faraday and Darwin, having served as assistant under-secretary, deputy under-secretary, and permanent under-secretary in departments of the Home Office and the Navy Department of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the inaugural Cabinet Secretary and head of the civil service, the first graduate and most distinguished alumnus of our school. Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately. The applause grew even more fervent... (The protagonist, possessed by a devil, travels through 19th-century Britain in a world without magic)

System Striker: Form Shadow to Spotlight

Daniel’s ankle snapped in front of two hundred people. The tackle was perfect. He saved the goal. He also ended his career. He’s sixteen. His family’s broke. Football was supposed to be the way out for him, for his mom working double shifts, for his kid sister who’s too smart for the underfunded schools they can afford. Now? Six months recovery. Maybe. If everything goes perfectly. Which it never does. The doctor won’t look him in the eye when he says “we’ll see about football later.” His teammates visit once, then stop. Life moves on. Daniel’s stuck in a hospital bed, watching his dream die in real-time. Then the System appears. Not a game. Not magic. A tool that measures everything: his speed, his technique, his decisions, his mental strength. It won’t make him superhuman. Won’t give him powers. Won’t let him cheat. It’ll just show him how to become the player he was always capable of being. The player his broken body and bad luck kept him from becoming. But it’s going to hurt. Recovery. Training. Clawing back from the bottom. Proving himself to coaches who’ve written him off, teammates who’ve moved ahead, scouts who’ve forgotten his name. And somewhere in the grinding work and the politics and the pressure, there’s Marcos his best friend who refuses to let him quit. There’s Elena, the sports medicine student who challenges him. There’s Coach Vicente, who respects scars more than talent. There’s a path from Juvenil B to the first team. From Valencia to the national team. From “that kid who got injured” to someone they can’t ignore. It’s going to take everything he has. But Daniel’s already lost everything once. He’s got nothing left to lose and everything to prove. ——— AUTHOR’S NOTE: What This Story IS: Realistic recovery and training (no instant power-ups) Smart protagonist who earns every victory System that enhances, doesn’t replace hard work Tactical football with detailed match scenes Slow-burn romance and family dynamics What This Story ISN’T: Face-slapping every chapter Overpowered MC from chapter 1 Harem or multiple love interests Unrealistic progression Update Schedule: 1 chapter daily (1500+ words each) If you like smart sports stories with real stakes, this is for you. First 3 chapters set the foundation. Chapter 4 is where the grind begins. Stick with it. Welcome to the comeback.

My Emporium In Another World

In a medieval fantasy world, soon to clash with a new steampunk era, a woman who died alone in a dark alleway, finds herself in the body of a nineteen year old girl called Amelia Cora Baker, who is the victim of weaponized incompetente and practically the “favorite” servant of both her family and the servitude. What at first looked like a bad luck transmigration, turned out to be a second opportunity to make it big with her previous knowledge for marketing and her new knowledge for baking . Amelia leaves the cruel life she was once forced to live in, with her father’s inheritance in life and a new plan to make her life better. Even if she has to go do back to using prostitution and anticonceptive methods to straight up murder, she will make it work to get away with it and live her best life. Starting from creating her own restaurant, Amelia finds herself growing businesses everywhere and creating an Emporium al, by herself. But her journey is not only business and achievements; Amelia finds children in horrible state, abandoned, and forgotten in this cruel world, who then she adopts as her own. The new opportunity for life not only comes with business oppportunity, but it also gives her an opportunity to have a family (while a bit odd for “normal” standards in this new world) all on her own. But Amelia’s life will also have struggles. not only with men wanting to oppress her, but also old-fashioned women, and even no-human creatures like the fae who can get jealous from of humans getting “prettier children” to straight up jealousy for Amelia’s success. And it does not help the fact that Amelia wants to include no-human creatures in her business opportunities, which for other humans can be an excuse for “favoritism” or “treason.” In order to survive, she must first make sure she does not call out the attention of anyone from the royal family or the church. Then, keep growing spectacularly until, by when men and no-human people want her gone, it would be too late. Will Amelia be able to achieve complete independence or will she be intercepted and oppress with treason or something worse, like execution?
