Lifelong drama.

Gato, James, Paari, Meiraba, and Alex—five peculiar kids who met in school, each misunderstood by the world but perfectly understood by each other. They called themselves the "Five Little Monkeys" because they always climbed into trouble, fell together, and laughed harder when they hit the ground. Gato – The Perfectionist Dreamer With his obsessive-compulsive habits, Gato folded papers into perfect squares, arranged books by color and size, and couldn’t sleep if the light switch was flipped the wrong way. James – The Kind Fool James had a dangerous kindness; he’d give away his lunch to anyone, forgive too easily, and trust too soon. People often stepped on him—but his true nature was known only to his friends. Paari – The Cold Thinker Paari was the cold one—quiet, sharp, calculating. He was their rock. Meiraba – The Silent Observer Meiraba rarely spoke. His anxiety locked him in his head; crowds made him freeze, and words got stuck in his throat. But when he was with his friends, he became a completely different person. Alex – The Puppet Master Alex was charming, clever, and manipulative—a boy who could twist any situation to his favor with a smile. His manipulation ran so deep that even before trouble arose for his friends, he had already solved it. As children they fell, got up, and fell again. When Gato panicked, James held his hand. When James cried, Paari made him see the truth. When Paari's darkness grew, Meiraba sat beside him in silence. When Meiraba wanted to run from the world, Alex gave him courage. And when Alex played his mind games and got into trouble, they lent him their hands. Tags: school, office, romance, kid, comedy (For your doubt there will be no sword fight or using of scissor.)

The New Life Of Kade

In death, he finally found peace. In rebirth, he finds purpose—and a destiny he never asked for. The story begins in absolute darkness. After dying heroically to save a girl, an unnamed soul drifts in an endless void—reflecting on a life filled with regret, loneliness, and a longing for something more. That darkness, though oppressive, is oddly warm. Comforting. But it doesn’t last. Drawn toward a blinding light and an all-too-familiar pull, he realizes what’s happening. He’s being reincarnated. But not back to the same broken world. This one feels different. Older. Magical. Born as Kade Thalore, son to a loving noblewoman and a towering warrior of a father, he finds himself overwhelmed by emotions he doesn’t fully understand. Tears come—not from fear, but from love so pure it aches. Though he remembers almost nothing of his past, some instincts linger: sarcasm, wit, and a desire not to waste the life he’s been given. Already, Kade shows signs of being… different. His eyes glow with an unnatural brilliance. His mind works faster than it should. And when his new parents speak of mages, and magic something deep within him stirs. He may not know who he was before—but he’s certain of one thing: This time, he’ll make it count. —————————————————— Yo this is my first book let me know how yall like it! Any suggestions of any kind (as long you aren’t unnecessarily rude) will be welcome. English does so happen to be my first language so let me know if there’s any punctuation or spelling mistakes.

The Ghost of Portugal

its the year 2014 14 Year old João Félix is a prodigious young talent playing in FC Porto's youth academy. Though physically undersized, he demonstrates exceptional spatial intelligence, technique, and tactical awareness. His teammates call him “O Mago” (The Magician) for the way he creates opportunities from impossible angles. His family is supportive but modest—his father a teacher, his brother Hugo a fellow academy player. But João’s rise halts abruptly when he is cut from the FC Porto youth system, with the reason cited as “developmental concerns” (a euphemism for being too small and not physically developed enough). The decision devastates him. Suddenly, the player everyone was talking about disappears from the football world. Teammates stop replying to his messages. His name fades from league records. No clubs call. João becomes invisible. He returns to Viseu, haunted by shame and self-doubt. He refuses to train. Watches old match footage in silence. The once-prodigy now battles depression and isolation. Then, during a solo jog, João notices a man watching him from afar. This man, Tiago, introduces himself as a former analyst from Porto. He presents João with a notebook—filled with diagrams and data focused solely on João’s off-the-ball movements. Tiago offers him something no one else has: belief and a new system of training. He calls it “Jogo Sem Bola”—the game without the ball. João accepts. He will train in secret. No spotlight. No club. No recognition. Just the work.

London Undercurrent: Psychic Walker

Under the misty and historically sedimented surface of London, there is a hidden current that ordinary people cannot imagine. Eighteen year old Alan Shaw grew up at the "Herbal Hall" Chinese medicine shop in Chinatown, East London, and was raised by a mysterious grandfather. He leads an ordinary to almost boring life: helping his grandfather manage the pharmacy during the day, smelling the fragrance of licorice and angelica; At night, they sweat and move cold goods in the dock warehouse. Fatigue is his norm, and occasionally when his fingertips brush over metal or candlelight, the fleeting strange "flowing sensation" is also attributed to his own overwork or nerve sensitivity. Grandfather's warning - 'Hide yourself, don't reveal anything special' - is the iron rule of his life. However, on a foggy midnight, fate rudely tore open the curtain of his peaceful life. On the shortcut in the abandoned shipyard area, Allen was dragged into the darkness by a sound that was not a human fight: the wild beast like roar tore apart the silence, and the metallic roar carried a piercing chill. Curiosity and an indescribable pull overwhelmed his fear of the unknown, leading him into the depths of the shadows of the steel ruins. There, he witnessed an unimaginable sight: a pale and swift ghostly figure ( Blood Clan ) engaged in a fierce battle with a muscular and partially beastly strong man ( Werewolf ) under the moonlight. Their power transcends the boundaries of physics, as blood light and claws pierce through thick fog. Even more deadly, a wild werewolf out of control sensed his gaze and charged straight towards him! At the critical moment, the suppressed and vaguely perceived "energy" in Allen's body fluctuated uncontrollably, like a stone thrown into a calm pond, instantly disrupting the invisible force field of the entire battlefield. This unexpected energy ripple not only exposed him, but also attracted the intervention of a mysterious woman who claimed to be the Guardian, Lena White. Her appearance saved Allen, but also plunged him completely into the hidden abyss known as' The Veiled World 'beneath the glamorous facade of London. Alan finally realized that the "energy" he perceived was the power of the origin of all things - Anima. Those who are born or awakened, able to perceive, absorb, and use spiritual energy like him, are called Animates. In this world, wizards weave arcades, witches communicate with nature, vampires (a blood race that claims to be the "Crimson Council") thirst for eternal life, werewolves (following the ancient "Silver Moon Oath") roar under the moon, and various forces such as alchemists, Druids, and psychic warriors maintain a fragile balance under ancient rules, hiding together in mortal society. And what broke this balance and caused a bloody storm was a mysterious organization called 'Ouroboros'. They crazily chased after the nine legendary Prime Glyphs left by ancient beings, each representing a subversive and almost world rule-based way of using spiritual energy, such as the "Weaving of Life" that manipulates life, the "Anchor Point of Time and Space" that interferes with time and space, and the "Return of All Things" that devours all things... They are powerful enough to rewrite reality and the ultimate treasure coveted by all ambitious people.
