Sure! Here's the translation: --- I am a wolf from the north, but unexpectedly, I became a bench player who didn't make it to the Olympics. "They're crawling, why are they so slow?" Audience: "Did he install a motor? This speed is insane!" National sprint team coach: "Switch events, he's a good prospect!" After being eliminated, everyone was waiting for me to voluntarily leave the team. But in a friendly match, when I got on as a substitute, I ran like the wind and scored wildly. From then on, I soared to new heights and was promoted to team captain. Until the off-season when I was dragged into a reality show. Netizens: "Help! Please blur his voice and face, and his abs!" "Get away, hubby! I want to have your baby!" I retweeted and tagged the new TV queen, "Sorry, in our wolf clan, we practice lifelong monogamy." --- Let me know if you need anything else!

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

[1]

I used to be a lone wolf from Vosridge; I was always a step ahead, chasing dreams of Olympic glory. But reality hit hard when I found myself benched, failing to secure a spot on the national team.

"Why are they moving so slowly? They look exhausted!"

Spectator: "Is he turbocharged? His speed is unbelievable!"

National sprint coach: "You should consider another sport! You've got incredible talent!"

After that setback, everyone assumed I'd resign myself to obscurity.

But then, during a friendly match, I got a chance to play. I dashed like lightning, scoring touchdown after touchdown.

From that moment, my career took off, and I quickly rose to become the team captain.

Then the off-season came, and I was unexpectedly dragged into participating in a reality show.

Online fans: "Help! Someone mute his voice, blur his face, and cover those abs!"

"Move over, girls! He's mine!"

Of course, I couldn't resist adding my humor to the mix. I posted on Twitter, tagging the latest TV heartthrob: "Sorry, in our clan, when we commit, it's forever."

I am the fearless leader of a pack of thirty wolves, patrolling and safeguarding our grassland territory. Though we weren't quite invincible, we were a force to be reckoned with.

Until I found myself as a substitute on a football team.

When I opened my eyes, the mighty Wolf King had been transformed into a frail human? I stared at my thin arms, legs, and waist, struggling to comprehend my new reality.

A system prompt appeared: "Welcome to the Human World Adventure Plan. Best wishes on leading your team to the Olympics!"

A huge question mark slowly formed in my mind.

The system added: "Good luck, Mr. Howard~"

"Bryan, are you okay?" Ian, the team captain, burst in with a group of players, examining me worriedly.

I was still full of questions.

The system clarified: "Sorry, the previous owner of this body just had a little accident..."

I swallowed hard. "Captain, I'm... fine."

Despite the setback, determination surged within me.

"Your physique is incredible!" Ian said, slapping me on the shoulder.

"Wow, you're really okay. You must have a lot of luck."

"If only we could share some of that luck with the team, we might make it to the Olympics one day."

Ian coughed to signal them to stop talking, but they kept chattering away like birds squabbling over crumbs.

I shot them a stern look, and they fell silent, whispering amongst themselves.

"Whoa, Bryan's glare... it's intense!"

Ian stammered, "Uh, Bryan, we didn't make it again this time. Three sponsors have left, and we might... have to cut some players."

The system showed me some headlines and comments.

"Stestan Men's Football Team Fails Again!?"

"Men's Football Misses Olympics, When Will This End?"

"Spending money on a bunch of losers, even a single state in another country is bigger than ours!"

"That number 8 weakling (which I assumed was me), either doesn't play or falls when he does!"

Ian looked at me meaningfully. "So... you understand, right?"

"No, I don't."

Giving up was never an option for a leader like me.

Chasing a ball that doesn't move? How could that be harder than chasing a running deer?

"Captain, give me a chance, and I'll score twenty points." I gave him a reassuring pat on the back.

To my surprise, he started crying, tears streaming down his face. It startled me; I hadn't even used any force!

"Bryan!" He sniffled hard, turning red. "Our team hasn't scored twenty points in two games combined. I'll trust you this once! Score twenty in a single game, and I'll beg the manager to keep you!"

With three months until the friendly match, I began training relentlessly.

I pushed the treadmill to its limits.

"Bryan, are you testing the treadmill's maximum speed?!"

I finished lifting the weights.

"Bryan! How am I supposed to unload these weights now?!... Please, help me hold them for a bit..."

In the cafeteria.

"Bryan! Why don't you just eat like a horse! Leave some for us!"

I didn't even lift my head from the pot.

The human world was amazing; I could eat my fill of beef!

On the day of the friendly match, I was full of spirit and determination, striding confidently toward the field.

"Sit down!" The coach ordered, and I found myself back on the bench...

At halftime, we were trailing by a large margin.

Ian's head was hanging so low, it could touch the ground.

"Let me play in the second half!" I directly told the coach.

"You? You playing is worse than me playing! I'm a fifty-year-old man defending our goal, and you..." He looked at me, stunned for a few seconds. "Alright, you go."

Without looking back, I walked onto the field. A teammate asked the coach why he suddenly changed his mind.

"You didn't see his terrifying look... I was afraid he'd tackle me to the ground..."

I grabbed the ball and sprinted like a madman. Scoring? They were all left far behind.

The opponents didn't dare stop me.

Without even catching my breath, I scored with lightning speed.

For a moment, the entire stadium was silent, everyone staring at me.

"Why aren't you cheering for me? Scared, huh? Hahaha!"

I proudly looked up at the scoreboard. Why hadn't the points been added?

Damn!

It seemed... I had scored in the wrong goal!

My world shattered with a frantic phone call: my mother had been attacked by a dog. I rushed to the emergency room, only to find her gravely injured, and my fiancé, Cohen, dismissive and annoyed. He arrived in his expensive suit, barely glancing at my bleeding mother before complaining about his interrupted meeting. "What's all the fuss? I was in the middle of a meeting." He then shockingly defended the dog, Caesar, belonging to his childhood friend Hillary, claiming it was "just playful" and my mother "probably scared him." The doctor spoke of "severe lacerations" and infection, but Cohen only saw an inconvenience. Hillary, the dog's owner, appeared, feigning concern while smirking triumphantly at me. Cohen wrapped an arm around her, declaring it "not your fault, Hillary. It was an accident." He then announced he was still going on his "billion-dollar business trip" to Zurich, telling me to send the hospital bill to his assistant. Two days later, my mother died from the infection. While I was arranging her funeral, picking out her burial clothes, and writing a eulogy I couldn't read, Cohen was unreachable. His phone was off. Then, an Instagram notification popped up: a picture of Cohen and Hillary on a yacht in the Maldives, champagne in hand, with the caption: "Living the good life in the Maldives! Spontaneous trips are the best! #blessed #zurichwho?" He wasn't on a business trip. He was on a lavish vacation with the woman whose dog had killed my mother. The betrayal was a physical blow. All his promises, his love, his concern-all lies. Kneeling at my mother's grave, I finally understood. My sacrifices, my hard work, my love-all for nothing. He had abandoned me in my darkest hour for another woman. It was over.

"That will be two dollars and fifty cents," the ice cream vendor chirped, a cheerful end to a warm afternoon. My daughter, Lily, beamed up at me, eyes wide for a rainbow-sprinkled cone. But before my fingers found my wallet, a cold voice cut through the air. "What do you think you' re doing, Ava?" It was Leo, my husband, arms crossed, face a mask of disapproval. He shamed me, publicly, over two dollars and fifty cents. "It' s the principle," he snapped, throwing a five-dollar bill at the vendor. "Consider this an advance. Transfer me one dollar and twenty-five cents by tonight. I' ll be checking." My face burned, my heart twisting as Lily clung to me. That night, I overheard his voice, warm and indulgent, on the phone. "Of course, Sophia. You liked the red one? I' ll have it delivered to your new place tomorrow." He was buying his stepsister a penthouse, showering her with gifts, yet demanding I pay for half of our daughter' s ice cream. The contrast was a physical blow. His love, his generosity, was for someone else. Later, in my small art studio, I typed a search: "divorce papers." I downloaded the forms, each keystroke heavy, final. When I placed the stack on his nightstand, he finally looked up, disbelief twisting his face into an ugly laugh. "A divorce? Don' t be ridiculous. Is this about the car I bought Sophia? Are you that jealous?" "It' s about the ice cream," I said, my voice steady, empty of the tears I' d held back all day. He scoffed, tossing the papers aside. "The ice cream? You want to end our marriage over two dollars and fifty cents? Ava, you' re being hysterical." He didn't know yet. This wasn't hysteria. It was the quiet, steel-edged birth of a rebellion.

For five years, I was Julian Vance' s shadow, known only as his fiercely loyal assistant, but my dedication was a meticulously crafted lie. My real mission was to avenge my sister, Sarah, an environmental activist Julian' s company silenced after she uncovered their toxic secrets. Today, I walked out, my resignation a symbol of triumph as I held the USB drive with the evidence that would finally expose him at his grand charity gala. But then, as I stood ready to unleash the truth, I instinctively shoved him from the path of a falling stage light, shattering my hand, my ribs, and my five-year plan. Instead of gratitude, I received his cold dismissal, then Julian' s glamorous fiancée, Isabella, ordered his security to drown me, leaving me for dead in a freezing warehouse. Julian, seeing me struggle, simply watched Isabella whisper in his ear before they turned their backs and walked away, abandoning me without a second thought. I survived, only to have Julian demand I cover up his complicity, publicly discrediting me as "reckless" while Isabella played the hero and he played the concerned boss. Why did he abandon me like a broken doll, only to then use my pain for his public image? I was invisible, disposable, and I knew then that the truth wasn't enough; my revenge would be a personal one, meticulously planned. I disappeared, only to be dragged back to a horrifying auction where Julian and Isabella sold me like property, but I refused to be his victim any longer. My carefully built facade of loyalty shattered, not just for him, but for myself; I was done fighting his battles, living in his shadow, and now, finally, I was going to live for me.

I died on a Tuesday. It wasn't a quick death. It was slow, cold, and meticulously planned by the man who called himself my father. I was twenty years old. He needed my kidney to save my sister. The spare part for the golden child. I remember the blinding lights of the operating theater, the sterile smell of betrayal, and the phantom pain of a surgeon's scalpel carving into my flesh while my screams echoed unheard. I remember looking through the observation glass and seeing him-my father, Giovanni Vitiello, the Don of the Chicago Outfit-watching me die with the same detached expression he used when signing a death warrant. He chose her. He always chose her. And then, I woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. But in my own bed, a year before my scheduled execution. My body was whole, unscarred. The timeline had reset, a glitch in the cruel matrix of my existence, giving me a second chance I never asked for. This time, when my father handed me a one-way ticket to London-an exile disguised as a severance package-I didn't cry. I didn't beg. My heart, once a bleeding wound, was now a block of ice. He didn't know he was talking to a ghost. He didn't know I had already lived through his ultimate betrayal. He also didn't know that six months ago, during the city's brutal territory wars, I was the one who saved his most valuable asset. In a secret safe house, I stitched up the wounds of a blinded soldier, a man whose life hung by a thread. He never saw my face. He only knew my voice, the scent of vanilla, and the steady touch of my hands. He called me Sette. Seven. For the seven stitches I put in his shoulder. That man was Dante Moretti. The Ruthless Capo. The man my sister, Isabella, is now set to marry. She stole my story. She claimed my actions, my voice, my scent. And Dante, the man who could spot a lie from a mile away, believed the beautiful deception because he wanted it to be true. He wanted the golden girl to be his savior, not the invisible sister who was only ever good for her spare parts. So I took the ticket. In my past life, I fought them, and they silenced me on an operating table. This time, I will let them have their perfect, gilded lie. I will go to London. I will disappear. I will let Seraphina Vitiello die on that plane. But I will not be a victim. This time, I will not be the lamb led to slaughter. This time, from the shadows of my exile, I will be the one holding the match. And I will wait, with the patience of the dead, to watch their entire world burn. Because a ghost has nothing to lose, and a queen of ashes has an empire to gain.
