The Next Big Thing

David_Adetola
"Football isn't just a game"—it's life. For 16-year-old David Jones, football is more than a sport; it's an escape, a calling, and the only thing that makes sense in a world full of challenges. The electric thrill of scoring a last-minute winner, the roar of the crowd—it’s the closest thing to freedom he knows. But David's journey is far from simple. Blessed with extraordinary talent yet burdened by fiery anger, he’s fighting battles on and off the pitch. Growing up as the son of a Nigerian immigrant and a British mother, David navigates the pressures of cultural expectations, the weight of his own ambitions, and the scrutiny of a sport that demands perfection. Passion drives him forward, but his temper holds him back. Can he channel his emotions and prove himself worthy of being football's next big star? David Jones: The Next big thing is a gripping coming-of-age story about resilience, identity, and the unrelenting pursuit of dreams. Disclaimer: This work is a work of fiction.

Douluo : world hopping

A Novel by Jay Some are born chosen. Jay was born aware. Reincarnated into a world where cultivated spirits separate the powerful from the forgotten, Jay awakens at age four with the memories of an entire past life flooding back — not gently, but all at once, like a dam breaking inside a child's body. He survives it. He always survives. Born in a nameless village caught between two empires, Jay grows up where loyalty is seasonal and weakness is a death sentence. No mentor finds him. No hidden talent announces itself. Instead, there are wooden buckets, frozen mornings, forests that don't care if you come back, and a village that watches with quiet suspicion when the skinny kid starts returning from the mountains with meat. Two lives of memory. Two years of bleeding in the dark. One conclusion: Power doesn't just protect. It decides who gets treated like a human. When the village chief delivers word that Jay will leave for Nuoding City, it isn't the beginning of a grand adventure — it's the next problem to solve. Jay carries no illusions about what the world is. He's seen Spirit Masters step over old men without pausing. He knows what it means to be invisible. And he has made himself one quiet, unromantic promise — to climb high enough that no one ever looks through him again. Dry-witted, clear-eyed, and carrying the weight of two lives on deliberately hardened shoulders — Jay isn't your typical chosen one. He's something harder to stop. A background character who decided not to stay one.

The Awakened Cannon Fodder Is Being Chased By The Crazy Leads

#Cannon Fodder, Second Chance, Male lead fall in love first, Bloodline Awakening, Possessive ML, Weak to Strong FL, Business World# In a world with a clear hierarchy between powerful Awakened bloodlines and weak humans, Severine Vale never believed in miracles. That is, until a sudden series of dreamlike memories forces her to awaken to a truth she was never meant to know: She is living inside a novel. Her Awakened dorm-mate, Alina Hart, is the protagonist. Meanwhile, Damien Rhodes, the Wolf Awakener, is the male lead—whose story begins with “I bully you because I hate you” and ends with “I bully you because I love you.” And Severine? She’s nothing more than cannon fodder—a side character who dies five years later under the male lead’s 'revenge'. Realising the truth, Severine avoids the original plot at all costs—only to discover that even the smallest flutter of her actions sends the entire story spiraling off course. The main characters begin knocking on her door one by one. Worst of all, fate pushes her into a moment that never existed in the novel. One night, Severine barges into a forbidden room… and straight into the territory of a Villain—Killian Rhett King, a person so ruthless that even Damien fears him. Severine only wanted to stay far from the story. But how is she supposed to escape when crazy leads' presence in her supposedly peaceful life keeps growing… and growing?
