“Who is the football GOAT?” A question that has been asked countless times in the last decade. Is it Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? To be fair, the question actually depended on what one wanted from a player as they were two different people and they played differently from the other. This was also the case with every other legendary player to grace the game. As a diehard fan of the game, Jason Bolu also had someone he thought to be the goat, but unlike most people, he harbored the desire to not only become as great as them, but even greater than any legend that ever graced the game. He wanted to become the Greatest Of All Legends… the GOAL. Unfortunately, fate has never cared about people’s hopes and dreams, and just like every other unfortunate human, she hit him hard across the face with a broken reality and sent him flying in another direction from his goal, yet he didn’t give up and continually persevered but, in the end, he didn’t ever make it. He wasn’t even halfway near his goal. He thought it was over… but it wasn’t. He got another chance at his dreams, and this time he was going to do more than his best to achieve his dream. *disclaimer* There is no system or cheats, just plain hard work and a past life of experience.. Also, despite the use of real-life characters, places and things, this is an artistic creation in which things wouldn't be as they are in real life so don't be surprised at some things that are unrealistic and out of place e.g. exact details, attitude of characters etc. This is a slow-paced novel.

Luck quickly turned to misfortune as they were labeled talentless, with no hope of gaining a talent. Sol was one such person who was unable to unlock his talent, but he refused to give up. He persistently fought and trained every day, slowly increasing his level despite the disadvantage in skills. He held onto the hope that, one day, he would be bestowed with a talent like everyone else. As years passed, his determination began to wane until one fateful day. You have leveled up! +5 Free stats. Talent Unlocked - [Siphoner]! This event marked the beginning of his story. --- Cover art by Fireytika Things to expect: -Protagonist that grows not only in levels but as a person. -His main goal isn't power so don't expect him to rush to the peak. -Complicated characters and stories with mysteries that aren't quickly answered. A lot of things happen for a reason and come back later. -Earlier chapters have mistakes from me being a new author but quality greatly improves later on.

A girl who has horns and is grinning widely, an old man in white who has a solemn expression and a handsome wolf-eared beast young man who is topless. All of them have similarities, all of them is pointing their weapon at me. I look up at them with a cup of tea in my hand. The mouth part in my mask disappeared, I sip the tea that is in my hand. "It is delicious!" When I put the cup of tea down, I sighed and then said in a tone not a bit impatient. "Y'all should sit down, it is better to talk with peace. Why use violence when we can solve it in thru talking?" The three sit down, their eyes are lifeless. There's no resemblance between the previous one and the current one. "Shall we talk?" "Yes!" they answered my question monotonously. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ This is my second book, as of now I am still finding my genre. I am also somewhat lacking in English, it is not my mother tongue so I'll have grammatical errors.

"Everyone has their own story to tell. From trauma to triumph, there is always an experience that defines how a person acts. There is nobody in this world who we can truly say has nothing to tell about themselves, after all, what are we defined by if not the tales of our greatest moments, the remembrances of people who created our childhoods? When we look at our pasts, often we think from our own perspectives. We talk about the mistakes we made, the things we didn't know, but even if we look back on what we did with regret I don't think we can truly say that we made the wrong choice. We simply don't understand our story anymore. This is something I've only learned recently." - The Third

"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed." - Carl Jung There are three main realms all beings reside in. In one, the Bright Realm - where magic, gods and spirits reign dominant in the connection of the Bind. Another, the Dark Realm - where demons and other monstrosities reside, plotting against all that is good in the Bright. And lastly, the Null Realm - none from the other Realms truly comprehend what it is. No magic, no gods, no demons. It is a wonder how anything flourishes at all. All whom traverse there are ineffably forever changed. The Null lurks now in the lush lands of the Bright. The damp isle of Witaenal has it creeping upon the whims and desires of the Human populace, granting each weapons of a raw power never-before seen in its millennia of history. None understand what they want. No jewels, no women have ever been asked in return. Just simply dust.

Bayezid was just your average man. Average personality , average looks , average intelligence , average job and pretty much average everything. One day he was suddenly summoned to an entirely different world by some mages whose liege was suddenly in a predicament and was at the verge of losing his entire kingdom. The mages wanted him to help... The world was very huge , almost the size of the unobservable universe. No one had explored beyond the skies as the skies themselves were infinite. He was summoned to a petty continent in the world called Aurelius meaning golden. Maybe this part of the world was just a part of the entire unobservable universe which was countless times more expansive than the observable universe? or was it just another universe altogether? Maybe only time would tell all the answers , as it usually does....
