Asymmetrical Competition

Rise To Stardom

Orphaned in the old world after taking care of his irresponsible and sick mother for years on end, Kyle finds his life turned upside down. His already dim world turns even gloomier and coupled with his trauma from losing her, Kyle felt like he had lost his purpose in life. Living day by day, akin to a soulless puppet, he struggled to keep his suicidal thoughts in check, all whilst trying to make ends meet as a cabbie. During those dark times, Kyle slowly begins to find solace in the world of music and movies. Even though it had always been there, it truly became something as a bloodline of sorts for him because, individually, both pieces of media, transported him to another world, one where he could feel happy, if even for a fleeting moment. And, as if the universe wanted even more for him, Kyle met some lovely old people, all of whom treated him as the son they never had, making him feel like he had a family after so long. This eventually, helped him let go of his trauma and turned him into the lovely soul he was always meant to be. But as fate would have it, these same people, wanted for Kyle to pursue his dreams because they saw the potential for greatness in him and the wonderous things he could go on to do, even if Kyle himself was oblivious to it. So, in an effort to make his dreams come true, they ended up gifting him a brand new chance, one that Kyle himself would only go on to realize after his untimely death in a fatal car accident. Now awake in the new world, still orphaned but with a brighter perspective on life, Kyle, armed with a System, another gift from his loved ones in the previous world, decides to take the chance to pursue his dreams of being a star, one that he was unable to pursue in his previous life due to his lack of talent. This is the story of a man who will go on to become the most versatile and renowned superstar all over the world... and it starts, just as he takes his first step into the cutthroat world of fame and fortune by registering for the popular singing reality TV competition, 'Rising Voices'. Known to be a fiercely competitive TV show, Kyle will meet with top contestants from around the world, go up against them, level up and become better, and ultimately, battle with them for the number one spot in the show as a dark horse! --- |AUTHOR NOTE| Just wanted to make it clear, that the singing competition which will be the first arc of the novel, will end around the late twenty-ish or early thirty-ish chapters. After that, you can expect so much more from the story so look forward to it! Also, although the setting is in a parallel world, all the songs, scripts and movies (although I will draw inspiration here and there), will be originals penned by yours truly (-‿◦).

Midfield Maestro

Takumi Usui, a naturally gifted yet self-doubting midfielder, has just joined Skyline FC Academy, a world-renowned institution known for producing football legends. Though his passing range and tactical vision set him apart, Takumi struggles to find his place among the country’s brightest young football talents. On his first day, he’s immediately thrown into intense competition, facing the brutal reality of a system that demands not just skill, but heart, mental toughness, and relentless perseverance. In Skyline FC, the bar is set impossibly high. The academy’s legendary coach, Sora, pushes every player to their limits. The players are talented, but Takumi quickly learns that talent alone won’t make him a starter—he has to command the game, control the tempo, and become the midfield general his team needs. But it’s not just the football field that challenges him. Off the pitch, he navigates the complexities of friendships, rivalries, and a blossoming romance with Saki Hoshino, a kind-hearted girl from his school who offers him emotional support even when he feels like giving up. Surrounded by fierce competition from rivals like the hot-headed striker Shinji Tanaka and the cocky midfielder Kai Kuroda, Takumi’s journey is one of personal growth, grit, and relentless training. He will need to master advanced football strategies—like the "Triangle Passing System," "Quick-Tempo Transitions," and "Counter-Pressing"—to rise through the ranks. But it’s not just about winning on the field; it’s about transforming his mindset, overcoming self-doubt, and discovering what it truly means to lead from the heart. From the first whistle to the final goal, Takumi must learn that being a hero doesn’t always mean scoring the winning goal—it’s about creating the opportunities, setting the pace, and most importantly, never giving up. Will Takumi become the midfield maestro he dreams of? Or will he falter in the face of overwhelming odds? The beautiful game isn’t just about skill—it’s about heart.

The System Allows Me to Live Only If I Have the Title of a Hero

Ethan T. Carter had it all in his world—wealth, a loving family, supportive friends, and a promising future. But when a devastating diagnosis cuts his life short, he is offered an impossible choice by an otherworldly system: be transported to another world, Valoria, and earn the title of Hero—or die in less than 365 days (one year). Upon accepting, Ethan awakens in Valoria, a world brimming with magic, kingdoms, and legendary heroes. However, his new life is far from easy. His family, though retaining their same personalities, are now commoners instead of the wealthy figures they were in his previous life. To make matters more challenging, all of his close friends from Earth seem to be strangers in this world. Ethan realizes that the only chance to extend his life is to join the prestigious Hero Academy, where participants from across the land compete for the honor of being one of their kingdom’s chosen heroes. The academy is brutal, with each trial a test of survival. While no one dies during the competition, participants are eliminated one by one until only seven remain. Those seven will earn the title of Hero and the power, status, and privilege that come with it. The competition is fierce, with everyone vying for the limited spots, knowing that only by becoming a hero can they fulfill their destiny in Valoria. As Ethan battles through each trial, he finds himself face-to-face with some of his old friends from Earth—though in this world, they do not recognize him. Strangers with familiar faces now compete alongside him, and Ethan must navigate the complex emotions of seeing his loved ones, knowing they no longer remember who he is. With time running out, and only 365 days to secure his survival, Ethan is thrust into a high-stakes journey filled with danger, rivalries, and alliances. The path to becoming a hero is riddled with traps, magic, and strategic challenges. But Ethan must succeed—for failure means the end of his life, in both Valoria and beyond. Can Ethan survive the trials of the Hero Academy, reclaim his place in this world, and earn the title that will allow him to keep living? Or will the countdown to his death be his ultimate undoing? The clock is ticking, and the title of Hero is his only hope.
