Ghost And The Reaper

The Ghost of Portugal

its the year 2014 14 Year old João Félix is a prodigious young talent playing in FC Porto's youth academy. Though physically undersized, he demonstrates exceptional spatial intelligence, technique, and tactical awareness. His teammates call him “O Mago” (The Magician) for the way he creates opportunities from impossible angles. His family is supportive but modest—his father a teacher, his brother Hugo a fellow academy player. But João’s rise halts abruptly when he is cut from the FC Porto youth system, with the reason cited as “developmental concerns” (a euphemism for being too small and not physically developed enough). The decision devastates him. Suddenly, the player everyone was talking about disappears from the football world. Teammates stop replying to his messages. His name fades from league records. No clubs call. João becomes invisible. He returns to Viseu, haunted by shame and self-doubt. He refuses to train. Watches old match footage in silence. The once-prodigy now battles depression and isolation. Then, during a solo jog, João notices a man watching him from afar. This man, Tiago, introduces himself as a former analyst from Porto. He presents João with a notebook—filled with diagrams and data focused solely on João’s off-the-ball movements. Tiago offers him something no one else has: belief and a new system of training. He calls it “Jogo Sem Bola”—the game without the ball. João accepts. He will train in secret. No spotlight. No club. No recognition. Just the work.

Legacy Of The Shadow Reaper

In a world where every being is born with a personal system interface, strength is not a gift — it is cultivated, absorbed, stolen, or earned through death. This fractured world is divided into countless realms of power, where humans, demi-humans, elves, dragons, devils, demons, celestials, and even gods compete, ascend, or fall. The Dark Flame bloodline once stood at the peak of this world — a cursed lineage born with the ability to consume elements, powers, and even fate itself. Fearing the rise of the prophesied “Shadow Reaper,” the celestial order destroys the last of the Dark Flame family. But in their final moments, Lord Azrael and Lady Seraphina split their newborn twins to protect them — the boy, Kael, is cast into the lowest realm, his memories sealed and bloodline hidden beneath an ancient locket. His twin sister, Lyra, is raised unknowingly within the very celestial towers that ordered their family’s execution. As Kael grows up in hardship, hunted by monsters and raised by mortals, his dormant power begins to awaken — granting him a path of limitless devouring and mastery over all weapons, especially his destined scythe. With the mysterious support of Selene Frost, a ruthless, cold-hearted girl who becomes both his partner and soulmate, Kael begins the climb through realms — one monster core, one battle, one bloodline at a time. Legacy of the Shadow Reaper is a slow-paced, character-driven epic told through multiple POVs, combining deep lore, evolving system mechanics, layered relationships, and a carefully planned rise from the bottom to challenge gods. At its heart, it is a story of revenge, lost family, and the weight of destiny .

Ghost Of The Slopes

At 15, Takeshi Morin was the future of alpine skiing. 16 Now, he’s just a ghost, a shell of his former self, can he make a swift return to the competitive scene. Born in the heart of the French Alps to a Japanese mother and French father, Takeshi Laurent Morin was raised on snow and speed. A prodigy in alpine skiing—slalom, giant slalom, downhill—he was ranked number one in the world for his age. His destiny was carved into the mountain itself. But when his mother, a world champion skier, dies in a tragic training accident, everything unravels. Days later, his father takes his own life, leaving Takeshi behind in a silence too heavy to bear. Stricken with grief and guilt, he withdraws from competition. What once felt like freedom on skis becomes suffocating. He drops from the national circuit, isolates himself in the mountains, and devotes himself to caring for his grandmother, the last remaining piece of his fractured family. But even that slips away when a heated outburst leads to her sudden death—another loss he believes he caused. Takeshi quits skiing for good. Though he remains one of the most gifted alpine racers on the planet, the sport has become a graveyard of memories he can’t outrun. When he’s sent to live in Japan with his aunt—a stern but kind headmistress of an elite international school for winter athletes—Takeshi is thrown into a new world of rigid schedules, elite training, and old rivals. The school operates across five countries, with each branch competing every year. Takeshi is to enrol in the Japanese branch, with its winter campus nestled in the mountains of Nagano. It's built to shape champions in alpine and freestyle skiing, snowboarding, and more. It’s everything he once wanted—except now, he wants nothing to do with it. Forced into competition, Takeshi is haunted by the very mountains he must conquer. As the international interschool alpine circuit approaches, hosted by the French branch in the very region where he grew up and classmates from his past reappear on rival teams, he must confront the trauma, guilt, and pressure. They have buried his love of skiing. To heal, he’ll have to descend into the past—before he can climb back toward the future. Set against the icy precision and breakneck speed of elite alpine skiing, Ghost of the Slopes is a powerful coming-of-age story about loss, survival, and rediscovering who you are when everything you loved is gone.
