They referred to him as insane. He was too young, they claimed. Too crazy. It's too poetic. Too fixated. However, they failed to comprehend. Goals are not the reason Daniel "Caos" Gómez plays. He rewrites history via his plays. He scores hat-tricks in eleven minutes at the age of fifteen. He outtrains titans, outruns legends, and rips over Europe like a prophesy at the age of sixteen. He doesn't talk when he trains. uses Latin to write. Dreams that burn. "I'm not playing here. Football is what I'm here to make kneel. Pain, however, simmers beneath the stadium lights and growing celebrity: A rival who was once a dear friend. The death of a mother still stings. A girl who never turned around after dancing in the rain. Caos must now decide if he wants to claim immortality at the expense of his humanity. Or will he strike the heavens—and shatter the gods?

“…How is he so good at it? He’s young, and he’s not particularly good physically. Does that make sense?” The man’s question was valid. However, that question was only asked when people did not know the newly appeared Shin Seong, Yoo Ji-woo. “You don’t know Yujiu? You don’t even know his nickname?” “…What, what’s your nickname?” “The next Maradona, the future of Korean soccer, fraudulent characters, and-” The last answer was drowned out by the cheers of the audience. However, the answer was just as I heard. Because everyone was shouting that nickname in unison. “SUPERNOVA!”

The Star Striker is honestly wild. You’ve got Kael Draven, just a regular kid who’s stupid good at football, until—bam—his Starweave magic flares up during a village match. Suddenly, he’s not just dodging defenders, he’s dodging creepy cabal freaks who want his head. His mom drops the “oh by the way, you’re magic” bomb and hustles him off to Aurenfall, this massive city where football is basically religion.

Eleven years alone in the wildest mountains. No coach. No teammates. Just jagged cliffs, raging storms, and a ball that meant survival. When 16-year-old Soccer descends into civilization, he has no idea what "offside" means or how a proper formation works. He just knows that on the field, opponents move like sluggish prey, and the goal is the target he was born to hunt. Possessing impossible agility forged on cliff edges and a silent, lethal finishing style that earned him the nickname "The Assassin," Soccer unknowingly joins the weakest high school team in the country. But the city brings more than just organized sports. Between a cynical captain, a strict but beautiful manager, and rival strikers who want him crushed, Soccer must learn that football isn't just about survival—it's about domination. From the high school pitch to the World Cup stage, witness the rise of a predator who plays the beautiful game like a serial killer. One shot. One kill. Game over.

At just fifteen, Gabriel Silva was already being hailed as Brazil’s next great hope. Playing for FC Coritiba, a club often caught between Serie A and Serie B, he became the shining light in a struggling team. Over the season, Gabriel scored thirty goals and provided fifteen assists, breaking records and drawing admiration from across the country. But even his brilliance wasn’t enough to save Coritiba from relegation. His performances earned him a dream move to Palmeiras, one of Brazil’s biggest clubs. For a moment, everything seemed to fall into place. He impressed in pre-season, scoring and assisting with ease, then announced himself in the league with a goal on his debut. But in only his second game, fate turned cruel. A serious injury ruled him out for two months, halting his rise just as it had begun. When he returned, eager to prove himself, another injury struck. By the time he recovered, the team had moved forward without him. Despite his age and potential, Palmeiras no longer saw him as essential. A loan back to Coritiba was arranged but collapsed on deadline day due to paperwork issues, leaving Gabriel stuck and uncertain. Then came the call that broke him: his grandmother, the one person who had always believed in him, had passed away. Grieving and lost, his performances suffered. His confidence faded, and soon he was dropped to the U18 squad. Once considered a generational talent, Gabriel was now a shadow of the player he had been. Just as it seemed he had nothing left, a dream changed everything. In it, his late grandmother spoke to him, reminding him that his journey wasn’t over, that greatness often begins in the moments when everything seems lost. From that point, Gabriel’s story becomes one of redemption—of a young man rediscovering not just his game, but his purpose.

Lee Jinwoo is the epitome of the invisible student at Seoyeon High: scrawny, ignored, and perpetually anxious. He spends his days as a quiet observer, watching the brutal social hierarchy of his school—where power, status, and brute force rule everything—but lacks the courage to intervene. His life changes during a moment of profound fear and injustice. Witnessing a popular, skilled boxer defend an innocent transfer student, Jinwoo desperately wishes for the strength to help. In that instant of peak emotional stress and focused observation, his hidden, involuntary ability awakens: Reflective Mimicry. Without a system, without warning, and without understanding how, Jinwoo's brain perfectly downloads the combat techniques he just witnessed, forging a new neural pathway. He executes a clumsy but inexplicably precise block, baffling everyone, including himself. Driven by a desperate need to control this sudden, terrifying gift, Jinwoo begins to train in secret. He must rely on his raw technique—the Echos of other fighters' skills—to overcome his current physical limits. He finds himself forced to seek out the city's most dangerous and skilled fighters to expand his silent arsenal, putting himself on the radar of those he used to fear.
