Goals Behind The Striker

At just fifteen, Gabriel Silva was already being hailed as Brazil’s next great hope. Playing for FC Coritiba, a club often caught between Serie A and Serie B, he became the shining light in a struggling team. Over the season, Gabriel scored thirty goals and provided fifteen assists, breaking records and drawing admiration from across the country. But even his brilliance wasn’t enough to save Coritiba from relegation. His performances earned him a dream move to Palmeiras, one of Brazil’s biggest clubs. For a moment, everything seemed to fall into place. He impressed in pre-season, scoring and assisting with ease, then announced himself in the league with a goal on his debut. But in only his second game, fate turned cruel. A serious injury ruled him out for two months, halting his rise just as it had begun. When he returned, eager to prove himself, another injury struck. By the time he recovered, the team had moved forward without him. Despite his age and potential, Palmeiras no longer saw him as essential. A loan back to Coritiba was arranged but collapsed on deadline day due to paperwork issues, leaving Gabriel stuck and uncertain. Then came the call that broke him: his grandmother, the one person who had always believed in him, had passed away. Grieving and lost, his performances suffered. His confidence faded, and soon he was dropped to the U18 squad. Once considered a generational talent, Gabriel was now a shadow of the player he had been. Just as it seemed he had nothing left, a dream changed everything. In it, his late grandmother spoke to him, reminding him that his journey wasn’t over, that greatness often begins in the moments when everything seems lost. From that point, Gabriel’s story becomes one of redemption—of a young man rediscovering not just his game, but his purpose.

Cursed Odyssey

Life is a clash of desires, of wants, of musts… What is good? What is evil? Is one who saves his sister in place of hundreds, evil? Is another who sacrifices his sister to save hundreds, good? Life is no idealistic fairytale. Unique, it so easily gives and takes opportunities. For me? Life had taken one, and given another— two lives. This was no longer earth. On Sanctum, the ‘Wheel of Fortune’ decides how we start, but not where we go. As I woke, I knew not who I was, where I was, nor where I came from… Even my name eluded me… Yet I did not care. I knew my purpose. To find her... To find the strength to protect her... To build a reputation she would embrace, as the hero she'd always envisioned... On the 22 floating islands of the Arcane, knowledge is one’s most powerful weapon, and at the same time, greatest vulnerability. The web of lies and deception spread far in this world, some even woven and hidden by the very gods. The abyssal mysteries— those who near them get swallowed within the endless fogs that speak tales of Sanctum’s inevitable doom. For the sake of the world, I envision. This won’t do… Dearest Nina… ___ Dearest Joseph… ******** THERE WILL BE ABSOLUTELY NO HAREM IN THIS NOVEL!! I actively despise it as it slows down the story for no reason and serves NO purpose other than self insert fantasy slop. If you're here for diabolical activities that make sense, a smart MC who isn't naive for the sake of plot, where everything has meaning, leads to things without downtime and empty chapters, a story not about just an OP MC self insert fantasy, character development and morality, a mysterious world and plot twists, you've come to the right place. AUTHOR NOTE: Hey, It's Drip again. You may know me from my work on The Great Demon System The first few chapters will be on earth, then it will transition into fantasy after where things will really pick up (before chapter 10). The MC will be very unique in the way he interacts and develops, things aren't always as they seem on the surface, so I hope you look forward to it :)) As is common with my novels, my MC is NOT a morally ideal person, but it all has meaning so be prepared, or excited! I've been really busy with university work lately and have been cooking this novel up. I feel like it'll be something special. ______ Tiktok: MobyDrip Discord: https://discord.gg/Ps7hXbEJRf

TO TAME THE BRUTAL LYCAN BEAST

Valoria was the omega who couldn't shift — the pack freak no one wanted. Her fated mate chose her sister on the altar. Her father's solution? Hand her over as a spare bride to Lycan King Azrael — the most feared, most ruthless lycan alive. A beast who doesn't love, doesn't feel, and doesn't show mercy. He didn't want her either. But he kept her — not as a wife, not as a mate. As a toy. Something pretty to break when he's bored. "You're mine until I decide you're not, little mouse. And I haven't decided yet." He tortures her, taunts her, watches her break and smiles like it's art. But somewhere between the cruelty and the madness, his hands learned her body before his heart learned her name. He doesn't want to love her — he wants to own her, tame her, ruin her so completely that no one else will ever want what's left. And the damning part? She's starting to crave it. But there is a little secret that Azrael doesn't know. This is not Valoria's first rodeo in life. He doesn't know the Moon Goddess ripped her from death with one mission; to seduce him, tame him, and end his reign. One hundred days. That's all she has before he kills her or she kills him. The only thing the goddess didn't warn her about was the thin chance of falling for the monster she's supposed to destroy WARNINGS: This is a DARK romance. Azrael is not your soft misunderstood hero. He is brutal, possessive, morally corrupt, addictive, and utterly unhinged. Expect 18+ smutty content, dubcon, PLOT TWISTS, and a monster who might either steal or crush your heart. Proceed at your own risk (of addiction, lmao).
