Small Things Like These

"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.

This is a story that portrays the story of a beautiful peasant girl born in the Hungarian countryside. Where her sweetness brought her many disappointments in love. But she ended up finding true love and becoming one of the richest women in the world. BLONDE LIKE HONEY

Had a little drink, played a few cards. No need to work, just farmed a bit of land, no worries about food or clothing, chatted leisurely with people, did some cultivation, with a "Five Elements Spring" within my body. Made use of my many abilities to earn money. A small farmer with big ambitions, confident about acquiring land abroad, drove luxury cars, lived in Western-style houses, and made a name all over the world!

“9th Class Low Grade Familiar.” He was shocked to find that he had summoned the weakest familiar that could be. Only when he saw the status, he couldn't help being more shocked. "Hypnosis? Why can no one else see this? What even is this skill?"

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.

When Lu Wu opened his eyes, he found that the world had changed completely. The world before him did not have fancy magic, nor ultimate Dou Qi. What it had were summoners that form contracts with summoned beasts. And coincidentally, he was such a summoner, although not a professional one, and his first summoned beast was a piece of crap. But that was fine, because he also had a golden finger!

The world is inhabited by two types of people: Humans and Irregulars. While Humans, who make up the majority, enjoy equality across different classes and cultures, Irregulars are a marginalized minority often kept separate from society. Their supernatural abilities, either inherited or awakened during adolescence, mark them as different, and often, dangerous. Three unique perspectives are about to collide: Elliot: A foster kid who stumbles into the wrong place at the wrong time, only to discover that he is an Irregular. Up until now, he's lived as a human, but his world is about to change in ways he never expected. Wendy: A determined young cop searching for her missing partner. While investigating a restricted area, she encounters Elliot and takes him in for questioning, unaware that this meeting will change the course of her mission. Devlon: A boy classified as an Irregular for as long as he can remember, kept hidden from the public eye. His life has been one of isolation-until now. With society pushing for Irregulars and Humans to integrate, tensions are rising. Each of these three faces a world that demands change, but how they respond could alter the future for both groups. When their small worlds collide, will events finally lead to peace between humans and irregulars? Or will this spark a new conflict altogether?

She was his obsession; he was her greatest downfall. In a twisted game of love, power, and betrayal, can they survive the fire they started?

Alec Carter has everything—wealth, power, and a clear path to inherit his father’s construction empire. But there’s a catch: his domineering father demands he marry a trustworthy and diligent woman before taking over the company. Determined to find someone who loves him for who he truly is, Alec devises a bold plan to hide his billionaire identity and qualifications, posing as a struggling, down-on-his-luck man. Maddy Lewis, a resilient and kind-hearted woman working tirelessly to grow her small business and secure her independence. When Alec claims to have been robbed and stranded, Maddy reluctantly lets him stay with her for a few days. Despite her limited resources, she helps Alec get back on his feet, never suspecting the stranger she’s sheltering is hiding secrets that could change her life forever. As Alec and Maddy grow closer, Alec finds himself torn between his growing feelings for her and the deception that brought them together. His father’s shadow looms large, orchestrating plans behind the scenes to test Maddy’s character and force Alec into an arranged marriage. Meanwhile, secrets from both their lives threaten to unravel the fragile bond they’ve built. With love, trust, and ambition hanging in the balance, Alec must decide whether to fight for the woman he loves or succumb to the weight of his father’s expectations. And when Maddy discovers the truth about Alec’s identity, she faces her own battle: to forgive the man she thought she knew or walk away from the love of a lifetime. Packed with romance, intrigue, and heart-stopping twists, A Heart Like Hers is a gripping tale of love tested by lies, redemption, and the ultimate question: Can love survive when everything is built on a foundation of deception?

But I think we are friends now, so why don't you tell me your name or show me your personality Pikfred?. ' Hmmm' I try my possible best for him to talk to me, but he keeps refusing my request anytime I ask him. Pikfred and I were friends but nothing I know about him.

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."

As a kid, we were told that ghosts do not exist. They are all made up by the adults to scare the naughty children who do not want to sleep early at night. However, little did these grownups know that what they deemed as natural occurrences are made by the so-called entities that lurk within the four corners of their homes. And I, who can see them don't care. As long as get to keep my normal life, because shamanism is not my thing.
