DC: Rise of an Extra

marvel_stark
James Carter was nobody special—just another face in the crowd, another casualty of circumstance. When he dies and wakes up in Gotham City, he realizes with creeping horror that he's landed in the DC Universe. No system. No cheats. No destiny waiting for him. Just a dead-end job, an empty apartment, and the certain knowledge that in this world, ordinary people die screaming. But James has something nobody else does: he knows what's coming. He knows Superman just made his debut. He knows Batman is starting his war on crime. He knows that in a few short years, gods and monsters will walk the earth, and anyone without power will be collateral damage. Most people would despair. James gets to work. With only his mind and his memories of comic books as weapons, James begins a calculated ascent from powerless nobody to something more. Every advantage must be earned. Every power must be taken. Every relationship must be built with care. Because in a universe of Kryptonians and speedsters, of magic and metahumans, there's no room for hesitation. The heroes are rising. The villains are plotting. And somewhere in between, one man is playing the most dangerous game of all—trying to survive long enough to matter. This is the rise of an extra. This is the story of someone who refused to be nobody.

Harbinger Of Glory

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.
