Ethan Bennett was supposed to be the future of his national team-until he refused to bow to corruption and paid for it with everything. Branded a problem, expelled in disgrace, and abandoned at the lowest point of his life, the gifted midfielder returns home with his career in ruins and the whole world ready to forget his name. Then fate gives him one impossible opening. As Portugal begins its World Cup campaign, Ethan is thrown into the fiercest battlefield in modern football: hostile crowds, vicious rivals, aging legends, tactical wars, and matches where one mistake can end a nation's dream. At the same time, a mysterious football system awakens inside him, granting explosive boosts, deadly precision, and game-changing abilities-but every gift comes with a price his body may not be able to bear. To survive, Ethan must outplay arrogant opponents, earn the trust of a powerhouse squad, and fight beside icons chasing their own last shot at glory. With every pass, tackle, and impossible goal, he gets closer to the revenge he wants most: forcing the people who cast him aside to watch him conquer the world without them. But at the World Cup, talent alone is never enough-and when the pressure peaks, Ethan will have to decide how much of himself he is willing to burn to keep the dream alive.

Football × Midfield Artistry × Explosive Creativity × Devastating Skills × System Awakening Fearless and inspired, Leo Lin arrives at a struggling Liverpool at the exact moment the club desperately needs rebirth. The road to revival is brutal-but the young prodigy never backs down. Before long, Leo Lin rises above an entire generation of legends, becoming the most extraordinary midfielder of his era. Beckham: "Seventy-one percent of the Earth is water. The rest belongs to Leo Lin." Matthäus: "I've never seen a midfielder this complete." Gerrard: "Leo Lin's long shots are pure art." Lampard: "Every midfield scoring record I held was broken by him. He's a true killer." Maradona: "In terms of control and flair, Lin is even more dangerous than me." Yaya Touré: "The strongest box-to-box midfielder? It's Leo Lin." That season, the fearless rookie steps into Liverpool's engine room and restores the club to its former glory. From the moment he debuts, Leo Lin evolves into a heavy-artillery all-round midfielder-unlocking devastating long shots, relentless pressing, masterful control, and god-tier creativity. He can surge forward and tear defenses apart. He can drop back and defend like an octopus. Whenever Leo Lin dominates the pitch-attacking, defending, doing everything-fans can't help but believe: Whoever gets Leo Lin, conquers the world.

𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧 𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 They called her a blessing before they called her a curse. They called her divine before they called her dangerous. By the time the realm called her queen, it was already too late. History remembers Aelyra Targaryen as the first Queen of Westeros, the woman in whose name the Dance of the Dragons began. The woman men bled for, dragons screamed for, and kingdoms burned for. But Aelyra was never meant to exist. She was not born to this world. She came from another life, carrying another name, another grief, and a love so ruinous it followed her even into death. To save the one soul left to her, she gave up her own to the ancient Dragon God of Old Valyria, and in return he made her his chosen child. His voice. His miracle. His mistake. He sent her into House Targaryen to stop the war that would destroy them. To love them enough, heal them enough, bind them tightly enough that the future itself might break around her. But the gods, like men, are often cruel in the things they ask of women. Because Aelyra did save them. Just not in the way anyone intended. She made them softer. She made them kinder. She made them love. And then she made them want. Not the throne. Not power. Her. And Targaryens have never been taught how to love without hunger. So what happens when the girl sent to prevent a war becomes the heart of it? What happens when devotion curdles into obsession, and every dragon in the sky begins to circle the same flame? What happens when the savior of a dynasty becomes the ruin of it? The maesters never wrote that story. This one begins in fire.

Kim Taehyung fell in love over a scarf. No, seriously. One random October night in New York, Taehyung watches a stranger give her scarf to an old woman, share takeout like it's nothing, and laugh like the world isn't watching - and his brain immediately goes: ✨ that's my wife. ✨ Fast forward months later, fate decides to stop being subtle. Enter Anastasia De Leon - 23, DevOps engineer, walking Google flex, accidental multilingual menace, professional chaos manager, and the only woman alive who can roast Taehyung in three languages while fixing his translation software as a weekend hobby. She doesn't chase fame. She doesn't care that he's BTS. And most importantly? She thinks Taehyung is just... a very nice friend. Meanwhile, Taehyung is out here running what he believes is a subtle romantic campaign - thoughtful breakfasts, airport logistics, late-night café walks - only for every single escalation to land as: ✨ Wow, he's so organized. ✨ What a thoughtful friend. ✨ Incredible logistics. Now Taehyung is juggling: - a world tour - a genius woman who treats him like a normal human - six members acting like live commentary gremlins - and the horrifying realization that he may have professionally friend-zoned himself This is a slice-of-life romcom about missed signals, accidental intimacy, chaotic timing, airport jackets, soft late-night cafés, and one man falling first while the woman he adores is just... vibing. Featuring: ✔ Taehyung forgetting to ask her last name but memorizing her scent ✔ A woman who builds translation tools instead of flirting normally ✔ Tactical romantic gestures mistaken for premium friendship ✔ BTS acting like emotional support clowns ✔ Language barriers that somehow make everything worse (and better) ✔ Domestic moments that hit harder than concerts ✔ Slow burn fueled by catastrophic misinterpretation Disclaimer: I only own the plot and anastasia. This is going to be a long ride of slice of life. Lol.

atwowxoc What does one do when they wake up in a universe they barely understood-a world ripped straight from a movie they didn't even bother paying attention to? The towering trees shimmer with bioluminescent veins, alien skies stretching endlessly above, the clear blue waters yet none of it feels familiar. It's beautiful, breathtaking even, but hollow. Her mind claws for memories, fragments slipping through her fingers like grains of sand, scattering before she can hold on. Faces blur, voices echo faintly, and the warmth of what was once home fades like smoke in the wind. The inability to let go gnaws at her chest, a weight heavier than gravity itself. But the world doesn't wait for grief. The air hums with life-creatures darting through glowing foliage, rivers pulsing like liquid sapphire. It's time. Time to open her eyes, to breathe in this strange new reality, and move forward. Because standing still means drowning in the past, and here, survival demands motion. She takes a step. The ground feels alive beneath her feet, and for the first time, she wonders if this isn't punishment, but a chance-a terrifying, exhilarating chance to rewrite everything.

A 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐞𝐬 novel. Can be read as a stand alone. ~ "𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝." ~ Vincent Rossi never survived himself. The world calls him the Don's Butcher. Capo. Killer. Monster. A man built from violence and sharpened by it. He carries ghosts like scars beneath his skin, and every drop of blood on his hands has only made the silence inside him louder. Then he sees her. Azra Sorrentino is everything he isn't. Brilliant. Defiant. Unbreakable. A woman forged in cruelty who somehow emerged with her heart intact. She should hate men like Vince. Instead, she can't stop looking at him. What begins as fascination becomes obsession. What begins as safety becomes temptation. Because beneath Vince's control lives something dangerous: a possessiveness capable of destroying them both. And beneath Azra's independence lies a secret that could unravel everything she believes about herself. The deeper she falls into Vince's world of soldiers, blood debts, and buried sins, the more impossible it becomes to tell where salvation ends, and ruin begins. Because the greatest lie Vince Rossi ever told wasn't to the police. Or even himself. It was believing he could protect Azra from the chaos when he was the chaos. And when the truth about her past finally comes for them, both will discover that love is far more terrifying than violence. In a world ruled by monsters, saints don't survive. They become monsters too. ~ -HEA/No OWD -Romance/thriller -mature scenes (18+) -AGE GAP (26F and 39M) -DARK STALKER ROMANCE -stripperxmafia I DON'T OWN THE COVERS.
