Ringed City Illusory Walls

Wu Fan was once an ordinary man, living a life indistinguishable from the masses. But fate had other plans when it placed a mysterious ring in his palm. This wasn't just any trinket—it was a dimensional gateway, connecting two worlds and making him the sole "real player" in a parallel gaming universe. But what this world offered surpassed even his wildest dreams. Martial arts manuals, divine beasts, elixirs of immortality, and even living beings could all be brought back to the real world. Think your martial arts master is impressive? Sorry, I sell S-rank cultivation techniques by the ton. Think your fighting champion is unbeatable? Sorry, that level only qualifies as an apprentice where I come from. Think that terminal illness is incurable? Come here and try my alchemical elixirs—guaranteed to rejuvenate you and make you feel like a new person. After obtaining the ring, Wu Fan became a force to be reckoned with in reality, manipulating elites across various fields; while in the game world, he conquered cities, unified nations, and conquered the demon realm. Master of two worlds—this was just the beginning.5. Used more relatable comparisons that Western readers would understand...

In a world governed by the Twelve Rings—powerful guardians of balance and order—one has turned rogue, casting a shadow over the planet and threatening a devastating return. In preparation for this looming threat, society is divided into ranks: Alpha, Beta, Delta, and at the very bottom—Zeta. Sage is a Zeta. Discarded. Overlooked. Until a cruel twist forces him into a forgotten lab—where something ancient wakes up. Now bound to a ruthless AI system with no patience for weakness, Sage is given a singular command: find the Elixir or be erased. No one believes the Elixir exists. No one believes Sage will last a week. The system disagrees. > “Vitals dropping. Emotional integrity unstable. Physical output: disgraceful.” “I’m trying—” Sage gasped, coughing on blood. “Trying is irrelevant. Survival is mandatory.” The system didn’t yell. It didn’t threaten. It simply administered pain—blinding, searing pain—until Sage screamed. “Pain increases adaptation. Adapt or be purged.” And somewhere in the agony, Sage understood: This thing wouldn’t make him stronger. It would break him until he had no choice but to be.

He didn’t arrive to be seen. He arrived so nothing else would. Raised in the mud, hardened by pressure, and bound by silence, Luca Bellini became a fortress in a game chasing chaos. Towering, composed, and deadly calm, he defended not with rage but with reason — every step calculated, every tackle a sentence, every match a war he’d already studied. He wore red like it was blood, and moved like steel — untouchable, unreadable, unstoppable. While others played for fame, he played for control. For discipline. For the code only he could follow. He was not the man they watched. He was the one they couldn't get past. Lionel Messi: "You never feel like you can beat him. It’s like playing against your own shadow—always there, always one step ahead." Cristiano Ronaldo: "Luca doesn’t just defend. He erases you from the game before you even start." --- > Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. All real-life clubs, players, and events mentioned (including A.C.
