James Wong thought his dream died the day his knee snapped. At 27, with his football career in ruins and nothing left to cling to, he makes a desperate wish—to start over. Miraculously, the universe answers.

James wakes up as his 10-year-old self in the Philippines, a country where football is dismissed and forgotten. But this time, he has a secret weapon: memories of his first life, emotional scars turned into passive abilities, and access to a mysterious "Total Football System" that guides his second chance like a game.

Armed with knowledge, grit, and a burning need to rewrite his story, James begins rebuilding his dream from scratch. He earns respect on the schoolyard, trains under a quietly observant coach, and assembles a ragtag team of underdogs determined to challenge the status quo. But the past doesn’t stay buried—ghosts like Maria, the girl who once betrayed him, and Ana, the childhood friend who once grounded him, return with uncertain intentions.

With every match, every stat gain, and every emotional test, James isn’t just fighting to win. He’s fighting to redefine who he is—and maybe change football’s place in a country that never gave it a chance.

Because this time, he’s not just playing the game.

He’s rewriting the rules.

Can we just take a second to scream into the void together—THANK YOUUU!! 


Seriously, you're the real MVPs. Whether you've been bingeing chapters like a late-night snack or stalking the update button like a detective on a case, I see you—and I appreciate you more than a dragon hoards gold.


Every time you read, comment, or just vibe with the story, a little writer fairy inside me does a happy dance (awkwardly, but with passion). You keep this chaotic imagination machine running, and I couldn't be more grateful.


So stick around! There's more plot twists, drama, bad decisions, and questionable jokes coming your way. Let's keep making magic (and possibly memes) together! 


I'll be back on volume 2 once I got it up and running.
