Scare Tactics

Nicholas Marjan, known as Niels, was an Asian football-obsessed loner in the modern world. A master of FIFA Career Mode, addicted to YouTube tactics videos, and followed every twist of the transfer window like it was life or death, he lived the beautiful game from behind a screen. Until the day he died. And woke up in the late 2000s, in the body of a once-promising young player at a lower-league English club. A player whose career had been cut short by a brutal ACL injury. With his playing career over before it could truly begin, his second life offers no glory on the pitch. But Niels still has one weapon: his mind. Armed with future knowledge of football's evolution, and guided by a mysterious, almost cheat-like instinct for scouting raw talent, Niels steps into the world of coaching. As an assistant at a struggling lower-league club, he begins to reshape the team from within challenging outdated tactics, unearthing hidden gems, and reigniting hope in the dressing room. His methods are unorthodox. His instincts, uncanny. And soon, whispers about the "young coach with a gift" begin to spread. This isn’t the story of a player chasing glory. It’s about someone reborn to change the game from the sidelines. From forgotten training grounds to Europe’s biggest stages, Niels is on a mission, not just to win, but to rewrite what it means to lead. He once dreamed of lifting trophies as a player. Now, he'll do it as a coach.

Code Ascendant – The Soldier Who Leveled Past Reality Earth’s last war hero died a soldier. He awakened as a failure. When Aarav Singh, a legendary war tactician from Earth’s final resistance, falls in battle, he doesn’t pass into peace—he reincarnates into the body of Aaron Velcris, a disgraced cadet in a foreign world ruled by relics, bloodlines, and mystical war academies. But this isn’t just a second life—it’s a new battlefield. Fused with the Reality Sync Interface, a system that converts mystical relics and chaotic magic into military-grade combat logic, Aarav begins leveling not through training, but through tactical execution. He doesn’t cast spells—he deploys war protocols. He doesn’t summon beasts—he commands codebound relics powered by trauma and memory. In this world, squads are family. Monsters are fractured reflections of reality. And behind every relic lies a secret waiting to be hacked, weaponized, or destroyed. To survive, Aarav must: Transform the weakest squad in the academy into elite warfighters Unlock Symbiosis Protocols—dangerous fusions between man and relic Challenge ancient hierarchies that fear logic more than magic And decode a buried prophecy that links his Earth-born past to a coming dimensional collapse Because this time, the war isn’t for one world. It’s for every reality. > “If they fight with magic, I’ll answer with tactics. If they pray to relics, I’ll reprogram them. I wasn’t reborn to play fair. I was reborn to win.” --- Genres: Action • Sci-Fi Fantasy • Military System • Reincarnation • Strategy • Academy • Squad Combat • Dark Progression • System Leveling • Antihero Lead • Reality Warping

Unlike ordinary tamers who control living monsters, Samuel can tame the souls of dead beasts, gaining their powers and even commanding their bodies. The Beginning: Samuel lived a peaceful life in a small village until his mother revealed the truth about his father and his hidden power on her deathbed. Determined to grow stronger, he left home, trained in secret, and eventually registered as a beast tamer in the capital Zoria. There, he met his closest friends—Elaine, Marianne, Sylvia, and his childhood best friend, Lancelot. The Attack on Zoria & Awakening of Power: While on a job in the capital, Ezekiel (Vox Sanguinis), an infamous beast tamer, led an invasion using monstrous creatures known as the Malugna. In the chaos, Lancelot was killed before Samuel's eyes, breaking something inside him. Fueled by rage, Samuel swore revenge and awakened his Soul Tamer abilities. He summoned Bahamut, the Legendary Dragon, forcing Ezekiel and his forces to retreat. Rising Fame & New Challenges: As Samuel continued his journey, his power grew: He fought and tamed a Leviathan, gaining the ability to breathe underwater. He traveled with his party and Jason, a warrior from the neighboring nation of Sylphora. His abilities spread across the continent, catching the attention of kings, nobles, and enemies alike. He formed complex relationships, including a growing rivalry and romance with Lyra, a noblewoman who served the king. A World in Conflict: Samuel’s increasing power brought both respect and fear. Some saw him as a hero, while others saw him as a threat to the balance of power. The King of Zoria summoned him and his party for high-stakes missions, including investigating a leviathan threat in the city of Lorigna and defending the kingdom from external and internal enemies. But beneath the surface, a greater danger looms—a secret war between powerful factions, hidden forces that manipulate events from the shadows, and the mystery of Samuel’s own past. As he continues his journey, Samuel must face betrayal, loss, and the burden of his abilities. He will be forced to make difficult choices, knowing that every beast he tames, every enemy he defeats, and every soul he claims will shape his destiny. Is Samuel a savior, or will he become a monster feared by all? The world will soon find out.
