Ronaldinho Template: The Smile of Football

HappyCrow
Initially, no one cared when Erik ten Hag banned David Qin from the team canteen. It seemed like nothing more than a coach asserting dominance over a player—until the birth of a superstar, the rise of a legend, the fall of one era, and the dawn of a golden age. Eventually, this moment became a defining chapter in the history of the sport, touching every soul in the footballing world. Transmigrating back to 2014, David Qin finds himself being forced by Ten Hag to transfer to the Chinese Super League. However, he unlocks the Ronaldinho Template. Originally intended to be a mere "mascot" signing for Wolfsburg, he crosses paths with a rising Kevin De Bruyne. From that moment on, his destiny is set: to shatter the duopoly of the "Greatest of All Time" era and forge an entirely new, peak-level legend.

The Halo Effect

Noel Arden just wants to disappear. As a member of a prestigious and influential family known for producing powerful espers and guides, Noel’s D classification is an embarrassment. Determined to work as a guide despite his father’s opposition, Noel spends his days in the D-suite of Halo, the largest, most successful Paradigm agency in the country, keeping his head down and enduring the less pleasant aspects of his job. It’s not a bad life; he likes his coworkers, he doesn’t have to rely on his increasingly hostile father, and he’s almost never deployed to Fray sites. As long as he steers clear of his S-class esper half-brother, he can just melt into the background and pretend to be a normal, low level guide, just one of hundreds in Halo’s bottom ranks. Invisible and unremarkable. Exactly the way he wants it. Then an emergency situation during an unexpected deployment forces Noel to shatter his quiet, boring life with his own hands and thrusts him directly into the notoriety he’s worked so hard to avoid. When he witnesses Jade Ransom, Halo’s star esper and one of the only S-classes in the country, melting down from corruption overload, Noel has no choice but to use the ability he swore to never reveal in order to save both Jade and the city from destruction. Jade, desperate after a life of guiding intolerance, latches onto Noel as the only guide he’s ever properly synced with and insists on being exclusive partners. With his back against the wall and his pesky conscience whispering in his ear, Noel agrees. Struggling to balance his secret, his normal job, and his connection to Jade, Noel finds the stable life he worked so hard to build crumbling around him. And as he and Jade grow closer, Noel has to reckon with the vast differences between them and decide if he’s prepared to burn himself out just to let Jade shine. #GUIDEVERSE #ESPER #SLOWBURN [ADULT LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT MATTER] *original cover by me *character portraits commissioned
