CLEAVER OF SIN - Chapter 16: Virelass

Manchester United, once a dominant force in world football, finds itself struggling under Erik ten Hag despite having the financial power to rebuild.Big-money transfers fail to restore the club’s glory, forcing Ten Hag to shift his focus to homegrown talent.Among the overlooked prospects in the U18 squad is Leo Calderon, a 17-year-old central midfielder buried deep in the pecking order.Lacking physicality and dismissed by teammates as weak, Leo endures constant ridicule from those who dominate with strength and athleticism.But during one ordinary training session, everything changes—Leo suddenly sees passing lanes no one else can, angles of play invisible to even the most talented prospects.Yet, there’s a problem.

I’m truly not a football prodigy, really.

As many feared and protested, it was humanity itself that brought about their near mass extinction.Even now, Julius found it surreal.To live a life built on false pretenses, false expectations, and false promises, only to end as one of the great noble families responsible for humanity’s downfall, was a truth that fell bitterly on him.“Julius Sebastian Schneider.”“Yes.”“Any last words?”Even until the very last moment of his life, Julius's tenacity refused to die.Because a young master would always be a young master.And if there was anything left for him, it was his pride as a nobleman.[Rollback Initializing…]But his final moment was only the beginning of something anew.——————————————More illustrations in the server.Discord: https://discord.gg/zukKB2ppDp
