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.

Level up to gain more abilities. As Elian rises to fame and success, he must confront the darkness within himself and the true nature of the Awakening System trying to consume his humanity. Will he find a way to balance his ambition with his humanity, or will the darkness of the system consume him completely? *it’s my very first system novel since I’m not a fan of systems. you should know before you start reading that the system is very realistic and the MC would struggle with it a lot. oh and, it contains a little sci-fi. just a tiny bit, it doesn’t affect the main story. There will be romance too, like, the MC would get a life besides football.

RE: Fantasia

Have you ever thought about dying? Cole Sinclair did, all the time. Every morning when he woke up. Every evening when he left his soul-crushing desk job. Every night when he returned home, drained and empty. But no matter how much he thought about it, he could never take that last step. Until fate took it for him. One moment, he was crossing the street, too exhausted to notice the blinding headlights bearing down on him. The next, there was only darkness. No final regrets. No cherished memories flashing before his eyes. Just the cold, silent void. And then—light. Cole awoke in a forest, the scent of damp earth against his nostrils, the sound of rustling leaves whispering in the wind. For the first time in years, he wasn't shackled to his mundane existence. He had been reincarnated. A second chance. A fresh start. But before he could process his new reality, a purple screen appeared before him, its glowing text cutting through his thoughts. [Current Task: Kill the Spider King of Mehr] [Time Limit: 20 minutes] [Penalty: Death] No explanation. No preparation. Just a command. He moved. The system didn't give him a choice, it only demanded obedience. Thrown into battle with only the equipment granted to him, Cole had no time to think, no time to hesitate. It was kill or be killed. When the dust settled, the tyrant of the forest lay dead at his feet, and a new title was burned into his soul: [You have become the Spider King] With it came power, an ability unlike any other. Extract. The right to claim the skills, abilities, and forms of his slain enemies, to bend their strength into his own. He inherited the former Spider King's domain, its fortress, its territory. But something was coming. Something far stronger than he was. And it was hunting him. And if he wanted to survive—if he wanted to protect himself and his newfound people—he had to grow stronger. Faster. Because in this world, only the strong would survive. [Additional Tags] • Worldbuilding • Pseudo-Harem
