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.

College was like a wake-up call for most people. Especially the likes of Christopher Owen, who spent the rest of his high school years messing around and pining for the boy he never had. Having had a frustrating high school year, he decided to dedicate himself to his studies in college.   He flew many miles away from home, changed his looks, and hid his real identity from everyone.  His plans were simple: study hard, pass well, no dating. But then he realized two things: life was anything but easy without the backing of his last name. And... he wasn't sure how long he could last before he jumped his roommate, who was obviously not gay. But lust wasn't love, right? Maybe he could indulge a little? Just a little, I promise.

People have seen and read many different kinds of apocalypses. A tower rose from the ground bearing gifts of power and an endless tide of demons. A rift was torn in space unleashing a horde of monsters unto the world. An alien mothership blotting out the sun as it rained down an entire civilisation's worth of advanced technology. A little game by supreme beings who want nothing more than entertainment through the deaths and suffering of the world. Even the awakening of forbidden ancient horrors from deep under the surface of the world that should have never existed. We have all seen how these things go. Countless people die before they even get the chance to fight back. Most of the time, the world is caught unaware and is brought to the brink of oblivion before a hero finally rises up to save them all. Well, it seems the world has had enough. Rather than waiting for another apocalypse, Earth had chosen to take action... literally. Better yet, the Universe had recognised its resolve and gave it an equal opportunity to fight for survival, i.e. a system of its own. "These pathetic humans can't do anything right. Fine, I'll do it myself." ~~~~~~~ Disclaimer: The story will be using a bit of science to explain some things, but most will be fantasy and made-up science since I am most definitely not a physicist nor am I well-verse in science. So if you read something here that doesn't adhere to actual scientific and physical laws, just think of it as weird magic stuff even if it poses as science.

Orin Stonehaven has always found comfort in the quiet, familiar rhythms of his childhood home, surrounded by the love and security of his family. But when a gentle urging from his mother and the adventurous spirit of his father push him toward the unknown, Orin is drawn into a world beyond the boundaries he’s always known. As he ventures into the uncharted wilderness near his town of Lightfire, Orin stumbles upon a new path that leads him to an awe-inspiring view of the ocean—an image that stirs something deep within him, something he can't quite name. It is there, on the edge of the cliff, that he encounters Elara Thorne, a free-spirited and adventurous girl who makes him question the stillness of his life. With her encouragement, Orin begins to wonder if there is more to the world—and to himself—than he ever imagined. The deeper Orin goes into this world and the ties that bind him, the more he realizes that his life is full of unknowns, and stepping outside his comfort zone means facing fears he never knew existed. With Elara by his side, he starts to embrace the idea that life, like the wilderness, is meant to be explored and lived fully, even when the path forward seems uncertain.
