These Foolish 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.

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.

Gone were the days when Dean Andler spent his nights studying in the Harvard Library, trying to boost his GPA. Now, he was free to do whatever he wanted, and life felt far more exciting this way. It had been five years since he dropped out of Harvard to chase novelty. Dean had always been a bright young man, a quick learner, but for some reason, he made the decision to abandon his academic path and live for himself. A foolish idea, they said. He was wasting his future—and his potential. Yet, something about being a daredevil, about embracing extreme stunts, never failed to capture his attention from the moment he first discovered it. Dean admits he had lived more in those five years of risking his life than in his previous 20. But all good things must come to an end. And an absolute end, at that. Dean Andler died on his 25th birthday, after jumping from an aircraft when his parachute failed to deploy. A pitiful end. However, it was also a new beginning. Dean finds himself transmigrated to ancient times, during the Viking Age. Here, Vikings exist in all their brutish and fierce glory, just as the history books described. Yet these Vikings are different—far beyond anything history had recorded. They possess superhuman strength, the ability to control the elements, and command the weather itself. Even the world is not what it should be: gigantic sea creatures and malevolent water spirits roam freely. The famed *Einherjar* of Valhalla are real, as are the various gods and their inheritances. As absurd as it all seems to someone from the 21st century, these phenomena are everyday realities for the stone-cold Vikings. Which leaves Dean asking himself: What kind of Vikings are these?
