Pretender of Heaven

Football × Midfield Artistry × Explosive Creativity × Devastating Skills × System Awakening Fearless and inspired, Leo Lin arrives at a struggling Liverpool at the exact moment the club desperately needs rebirth. The road to revival is brutal—but the young prodigy never backs down. Before long, Leo Lin rises above an entire generation of legends, becoming the most extraordinary midfielder of his era. Beckham: “Seventy-one percent of the Earth is water. The rest belongs to Leo Lin.” Matthäus: “I’ve never seen a midfielder this complete.” Gerrard: “Leo Lin’s long shots are pure art.” Lampard: “Every midfield scoring record I held was broken by him. He’s a true killer.” Maradona: “In terms of control and flair, Lin is even more dangerous than me.” Yaya Touré: “The strongest box-to-box midfielder? It’s Leo Lin.” That season, the fearless rookie steps into Liverpool’s engine room and restores the club to its former glory. From the moment he debuts, Leo Lin evolves into a heavy-artillery all-round midfielder—unlocking devastating long shots, relentless pressing, masterful control, and god-tier creativity. He can surge forward and tear defenses apart. He can drop back and defend like an octopus. Whenever Leo Lin dominates the pitch—attacking, defending, doing everything—fans can’t help but believe: Whoever gets Leo Lin, conquers the world.

My life took yet another turn when my mind was broken into dust. I was mended by a veritable miracle that granted my Damon to get back. Number four was now the whole new version of him. Our life, as perfect as it seems, showed me cruelty when three of my cubs died. Pack had lost something. Destiny took us apart only to get together in the new way of life.

When the universe awakens after ages of silence, it senses the Abyss approaching—an ancient void filled with creatures that seek to consume all existence. To survive, the universe must choose a Guardian Race, a species worthy of wielding its power and defending reality itself. But no race is chosen. Instead, the Awakening sends out a call across the stars, summoning countless civilizations into the Guardian Trials—a vast series of challenges that test strength, spirit, intelligence, unity, and will. Every competing species believes it deserves the mantle; every one of them is prepared to fight for it. Humanity, still young and relatively unknown, finds itself thrown into a struggle far larger than anything it has faced before. Surrounded by advanced empires and rival contenders, humans must rise far beyond their limits, forge unexpected alliances, and prove their evolution has only just begun. All races stand equal. None have been chosen. And as the Abyss draws closer, the universe waits to see who will earn the right to defend creation.

In a distant past, the seven Ancestral Beasts clashed, and the blood they spilled rained onto the entire plane, infecting humans and animals alike, making them part of their powerful bloodlines.

Yet, when Liam’s Ancestral Bloodline awakened, he uncovered a connection between his family’s killers and the Dragon King, a connection that could expand his revenge to the entire Kingdom. -------------------- Discord link: https://discord.gg/mefzf3aQJ8 Instagram: eocnovels X: @EoCNovels Cover artist: https://digitalrowye.com

When the System arrived, it gave people weapons, classes, and ways to survive. Ethan Vale got a management role. No sword. No fireball. No heroic destiny. Just reports, personnel ratings, resource categories, risk assessments, and permissions no one else seemed to understand. At first, it looked useless. Then the office collapsed. Then the city followed. In a world where monsters are only one part of the disaster, Ethan learns that survival is not about being the strongest person in the room. It is about knowing who matters, what is broken, and which rules can be bent before they break you. The System does not want heroes. It wants structure. And Ethan may be the first person dangerous enough to manage it.

Ryōsuke Hanyu has always had a strange obsession with volleyball. Ever since he first saw a match at five years old, that light ball—just 260 grams—struck his heart with the force of a thunderclap. From that moment on, he knew this was his sport. Now, after graduating middle school, Ryōsuke has transferred from Tokyo to the legendary Shiratorizawa Academy—home of powerhouse volleyball. But he didn’t realize Miyagi Prefecture was called the “death zone” of volleyball for a reason... With a sharp tongue, intense drive, and absolutely no clue how attractive he is, Ryōsuke is about to crash into a world full of top-tier players, overenthusiastic senpais, and high-stakes matches. He might be labeled a genius— But surviving Shiratorizawa will take more than talent.

Transmigrating back to 2010, a 215 cm–tall center awakens with Allen Iverson’s innate talent right from the start. From that moment on, everything changes. Blazing speed. Unreasonable three-pointers. Butterfly-like drives through traffic. Acrobatic, highlight-reel finishes. A generation-defining super center emerges out of nowhere—one who doesn’t just dominate the league, but single-handedly ushers in his own version of the “small-ball era.” “Is Blake Su the strongest center in the NBA?” When reporters posed the question, Jordan gave his assessment: “Illogical three-pointers. Lightning-fast speed. Drives like a butterfly weaving through defenders. Spectacular finishes at the rim…” “But,” others argued, “Blake Su is strong, no doubt. Still, aside from his height fitting the center position, nothing else does. That alone doesn’t make him the strongest center.” Faced with the controversy, Blake Su could only respond helplessly: “I really am a center.”

At twenty-three, Dante thought he had finally left the worst behind him. He had been reincarnated into a world where superhumans were real, where figures like Invincible were not fiction, but part of the global balance. But he did not wake up as a hero. He woke up as a child in the midst of chaos. His childhood was marked by violence, persecution, and bloodshed. He grew up learning that power does not always protect, that governments lie, and that monsters do not always come from other planets. He survived as best he could. He lost more than he gained. When he finally managed to escape that past and build a seemingly normal life, he believed that fate had given him a second chance. He was wrong. An old childhood friend reappears with a warning: they are looking for them. And it's not just a simple threat. As old wounds resurface and buried secrets begin to be revealed, Ikar will be forced to decide what to do with the power he always tried to contain. Because in a world of heroes and alien conquests, the real danger doesn't always come from the sky. Sometimes, it comes from the past. And this time, the past comes prepared.

A nameless man awakens in a world he does not recognize, inheriting the life of a dead dock worker. With no past, no identity, and no place in this unfamiliar world, he must decide what kind of life he will build from the remains of another’s. This is the first draft version of the story. The writing quality is lower than the planned final version that will be rewritten after this draft is completed. Read with that in mind. Note: 1st – Starting from chapter 27 onward, I will write the plot with more summarized events, minimal dialogue, and fewer internal thoughts. Once that draft is done, I can focus on fleshing out the characters, environment, and other details. 2nd – After chapter 50, I will begin adding chapters that specifically explain the things behind the story, mostly for future reference after rewriting the whole story. IT WILL HAVE A LOT OF SPOILERS. There will also be things I wish to add in the final version as well.
