Crows Like Things That Sparkle

"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.

I'm less than thrilled to be moving back to Neyland, and the worst part is that my childhood friend Tony Nathan is going to be my neighbour and classmate again. We've known each other since we were kids, but I had to move to Korea with my family a few years ago. Now, I'm returning to London and will be attending Royalty High School, one of the best schools in the city. While I'm relieved to have someone to talk to, I have to admit that Tony can be pretty annoying. He's always been dashingly handsome and smart, but also rude and infuriating at times. Despite our friendship, I've never been a huge fan of his. As I settle into my new life, I'm surprised to discover that we'll be living in the most expensive estate in Neyland - and that we'll be living with Tony's family, the Black family! My parents are best friends with his parents, and apparently, they've always hoped that we'd end up together. Yeah, right. I have five older brothers who are cool with the arrangement, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all. Living with Tony's family means I'll have to put up with his annoying antics all the time. But hey, at least I'll have someone to talk to, even if he drives me crazy sometimes."

In a world shattered by a catastrophic zombie virus outbreak, most of humanity has succumbed, turning into soulless, ravenous creatures. However, Kirishima Seijiro, a seemingly ordinary boy, was transformed into something far more terrifying. The virus granted him, super speed, super strength, high durability, the power to manipulate his body into weapons of destruction, regenerate from any wound, and absorb the abilities and memories of those he consumes. Seijiro’s transformation brought him to the attention of the "Ten Deadly Things," a fearsome group consisting of humans, zombie variants, and evolution beasts who have ascended to unimaginable power due to the virus or their own unnatural origins. Each member is a living catastrophe in their own right. Yet, none are as ruthless or determined as Seijiro. He doesn’t merely seek survival—he aims to eradicate the last remnants of humanity, believing that they are the true infection. As he rises through the ranks of the Ten Deadly Things, his ambitions threaten the entire world. With power-hungry monsters, and humanity’s final defenders all vying for control, Kirishima Seijiro stands at the center of the apocalypse. His journey will either lead to the complete annihilation of the human race or a reckoning for those who dare to play god in a broken world. This is the tale of how a boy became the deadliest of the Deadly Things—and the harbinger of humanity's extinction.
