Suishou Hakuchou had been content in her sheltered life until the only world she knew was tragically torn apart by a car crash. With her body so badly broken and horrendously disfigured, it would have been better for her to be spared her parents' fates than exist in this grotesque form of half girl, half corpse. She wanted to die to stop the pain and nightmares, but she didn't. Waking up in a new world fitted with prosthetics of a science fiction reverie, all she feels at first is numb, just the hollow shell of a girl who should have went to heaven. However as time passes, her will to live is strengthened by a devoted nurse, a lame boy wiser than his age, a child whose story is even more piteous than hers, the inspiring striker of Mikage Sennou's soccer club, and a mysterious anonymous who claims to be the only ally she can trust. But all of this changes when she becomes entwined by the lies and plotting of deceiving men and enters the world of the Football Frontier. The promise of justice. The lust for power. The desire to avenge. Soon she will forget about the people who anchored her to humanity and sell her soul to the devil. And then finally, as the bandages marking her a cyborg experiment fall from her body, emerge from pure white feathers as a slayer in the name of God's wrath. "All of it will be worth it." He addressed them all, yet only had eyes for her. "As long as we win," she finished for him with a voice that showed she had made her decision. A voice that left no challenge to be made. Everyone cheered.Bottoms up. The sound of glass goblets smashing into the ground echoed across the dark cavern, and there was no more turning back.Cover design by me, art by https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=2334059Inline banners by me and @EM0EMICategory Winner, Best OC, and Inazuma Hero (Highest Overall) of The Lightning Awards…

Sakurai Shizumi was just a shy, average student at Teikoku Gakuen until she bumped into Kidou, captain of the most prestigious soccer club in Japan, in the halls one day and was forced to become the school's soccer team's manager or be expelled from Teikoku Gakuen. What she hadn't taken in mind before signing the contract was that being Teikoku's manager meant serving the rude and arrogant Kidou, Genda, Sakuma, and Fudou until she graduates from Teikoku Gakuen and following their every order. But be careful boys, you guys aren't the only scary ones around. Everyone is two faced and have secrets they'll do anything for to keep hidden, especially those who appear the most innocent on the outside. The more they delve deeper into soccer and the Football Frontier, more clues about a shady past start showing themselves. The darkness of soccer and the Football Frontier is a curse that will chase after them forever. You can hide, but you can never escape. "Victory is only a façade, a mirage within the field that is our cage." After all, it's just a game.
