A Thing With Feathers

"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, Luca Winter, would assist and help Ayana Winter on her revenge plan and would never harm and hurt her. In return, I will ask for something Ayana Winter possesses and she had to give it to me willingly as the payment of my help.” Luca said casually. Ayana frowned as she looked at Luca. “Is it my father's journal?" Ayana said as she looked at the man, voicing her suspicion. Ayana noticed as the man's smile freeze for a millisecond. The man tried to act casual, but Ayana has got her answer. Ayana smiled as she finally got the response. The man was after her father’s mysterious journal. “I will give it to you if it is on my hand,” Ayana said still with a smile on her face, "and if not, you would have to ask for another thing with a similar value, take it or leave it." In her heart, Ayana promised to herself that she would never claim the book as hers, therefore Luca would never have a chance to claim it as his.

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.
