Poor Things

"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.

Liu Yang's life used to revolve around a few simple truths: If the king crab wasn't fresh enough to pinch him back, it wasn't worth eating. Kobe beef? Only the finest cuts would grace his plate. And don't even think about uncorking a bottle of French wine that wasn't old enough to run for president. But then fate hit the cosmic snooze button, and Liu Yang woke up in a parallel universe where his platinum credit card was about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Michelin-starred restaurants? Ha! He couldn't even afford the valet parking. Kobe beef? More like "look but don't touch, peasant." As if that wasn't bad enough, he'd been reincarnated as the owner of a hole-in-the-wall diner where burning a simple egg was considered a culinary triumph. Just when Liu Yang was resigning himself to a lifetime of serving up gastronomic atrocities... Enter the System. The Duplication System, to be exact. How's it work? Simple.

But this isn't just a story about a chef leveling up faster than a video game protagonist on a Red Bull binge. Oh no, this is a tale of a trust fund baby determined to conquer the multiverse, one hair-brained scheme at a time.

A mass of chaos. That's what he was. A thing. Or at least, that's what he used to be... "What will you name him, your highness?" She smiled down at her baby, "I'll name you Aridam.." He never really had a name before.. And if you think about it, excluding the doctor that helped delivering him, she was the first living being he ever saw.. Roaming in nothingness for millions of years as a thing.. That was the life he has ever known. But somehow, he got reincarnated in the body of a newborn baby.. I guess he's a royal child now.. In a world filled with magic and celestial beings. Chaos never wanted loneliness again.. So the first thought that came to his mind once he opened his eyes.. Conquering this world.
