Football: The Battle for the USA, Canada, and Mexico

With the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico about to begin, a football System called Road to Glory quietly sweeps across the globe, choosing a genius Host from each of the 211 participating nations.

My name is Lin Yusheng, and I'm a senior in high school from China.

A football video game unexpectedly gave me this System.

No! To be precise, the one truly in control of it is another version of me from a parallel world...

The good news: With the System's supernatural abilities, I've become the hottest rising star in world football.

The bad news: If I can't win this World Cup for my country, I'll lose this dreamlike life, including my own.

As the red dragon soars above Mexico City's Azteca Stadium, I know the real contest has only just begun.

Opponent: “Are you insane? Your whole team is worth less than thirteen million, and you're risking your life against me! If our CPUs burn out, we're both dead!”

Lin Yusheng: “I don't care if I live or die. I just want China to win!!!”

On this smokeless battlefield, where enemies and allies lie dead, only those who risk death can survive, while those who seek safety are doomed!

(Football is easy to get into, the System isn't overpowered, China's national team at the World Cup, and plenty of hype and suspense.)
