Triumph of A Bus Stop Boy

A newborn baby is left at a bus stop in Fulham at dawn — not because he is unwanted, but because leaving him is the only way to save his life. Simon Clark grows up without parents, raised in the British foster care system, carrying the quiet wound of abandonment. Brilliant yet painfully alone, he endures neglect, cruelty, and isolation, never knowing why his life began in silence. Unbeknownst to him, his mother Phoebe Mukasa made an impossible choice. Once a hopeful university student in Uganda, Phoebe’s life was shattered by loss, betrayal, and violence. After being assaulted by a powerful man and forced to flee her country, she is trafficked to London and trapped in a dangerous household run by criminals. When she gives birth in secret, she is faced with a horrifying truth — if she keeps her child, he will be taken or destroyed. So she leaves him where someone kind will find him. Years later, Simon re‑emerges as a successful businessman in London, his past colliding with those who once tormented him. But success cannot answer the question that has followed him all his life: why was he left behind? When a long‑hidden letter finally reveals the truth, Simon must confront a reality that changes everything he believes about love, sacrifice, and survival. The Triumph of a Bus Stop Boy is a powerful story of immigration, resilience, and the unseen love that saves a life — even when it looks like abandonment. Some beginnings are acts of courage. Some triumphs begin at a bus stop.

As A Mafia Boss, I Refuse To Be An Extra

In the year 2350, Earth changed forever. Portals tore open across the skies, unleashing monstrosities no human had ever faced. But with the monsters came awakening – humans gained power, ranks, and a status screen that defined their place in the new world. Two centuries later, power no longer belonged to politicians, but to the awakened. Damian Valcor, a bored 15-year-old, only cared about passing the entrance exam for an academy. But on the eve of the results, his life was overturned when he awakened the memories of his past life. A past life where he was not an ordinary man… But a ruthless mafia boss. To his shock, the world he now lived in was nearly identical to a novel he had once come across in his previous life. Although he remembered the world, he didn’t remember any of the characters of that novel. But he was sure of one thing. Damian Valcor was not one of the main characters. He was just a random Extra. With underworld cunning, ruthless ambition, and the knowledge of what lies in the future for this world, Damian must make sure to protect his loved ones, the loved ones he never had in his past life. He will make sure to snuff out the existence of any being who dared to endanger them. But for that… He needs to rise as the one pulling the strings. And to do that, he needed… Power. "Power isn’t granted, it’s taken – and I’ve had a lifetime of practice." ________________ PS:- Schedule:- 2 Chapter/Day for now.

Fake Date, Real Fate

"Block him." "He's technically still my boss." "Then block him with dignity." The call ended again. And then started again. I let out a sound somewhere between a growl and a sob, then finally answered with the enthusiasm of a snail crawling through salt. "Yes, Mr. Walton?" "Have you changed your mind yet?" I collapsed onto the towel and gazed at the sky as though it might consume me entirely if I pleaded sweetly enough. "Do you ever take a break?" I asked, shielding my eyes with one hand. "You're avoiding the question." "Because it's a dumb question." He exhaled, the sound sharp and irritated even over phone. "It's not a dumb question. It's a business offer." "It's a weird offer-one that I already said no to." There was a brief pause, and I could practically hear him clenching his jaw through the speaker. "You are acting unreasonably." " Unreasonable?" I sat up. "I'm not the one drafting fake girlfriend contracts like it's a normal Tuesday." "Isabella-" "Certainly not, Mr. Walton." I mimicked his tone perfectly. "I told you I'm not doing it. You need to find someone else to play pretend with." SYNOPSIS Isabella Miller thought saying no to her boss’s fake dating offer was the end of the story. But Adrien Walton doesn’t take no—especially not when he’s convinced she’s a gold digger. Suddenly, her student loans are piling up, her father’s vet clinic is on the brink of eviction and her brother is about to be kicked out of college. Coincidence? She thinks not. Adrien Walton is calm, calculating—and he's just pulled every string to corner Isabella into the perfect position. Now she’s stuck choosing between pride and survival. So she agrees to his offer: be his fake girlfriend. No feelings attached. No drama. Just business. Or so she thought. "Conference Room B. Fifteen minutes," he said, passing by without a glance. The folder he pushed across the table landed with a thud. I opened it. The contract. All of it. --- Enemies to lovers? Check. Slow burn? Hmmnyea. Banter so sharp it might file your nails? Yes. Delicious workplace tension? Of course. Tension that could melt steel?Absolutely. Smut?? Wanna find out? Welcome to corporate romance warfare. There’s no escaping this contract.

Gifted Actor

“You cannot do anything in your life.” That was what my father said every time he came home drunk. He wasn’t the kind who beat his family—he didn’t need to. His words alone were enough to break me. “You are a failure. Look at other children.” I had done nothing wrong to deserve those words. They were simply routine—something he said to make himself feel better. Maybe it was the alcohol speaking. Maybe it wasn’t. Either way, that was how I grew up, with two younger siblings enduring the same silence. Maybe that was why I became an introvert. I learned that speaking less meant giving him fewer reasons to get upset with me. And yet, after shaping me this way, he would ask— “Why are you so quiet? Why can’t you be like other children?” Being an introvert wasn’t so bad… until I found acting—or more appropriately—acting found me. By chance, by luck, or perhaps by fate, I discovered an art that demanded everything I had—confidence, expression, vulnerability. I had never even stepped onto a stage before. I had to learn from nothing. All I had was my talent and an intelligent mind. A gift unknown to me was hiding inside. But as always, I wasn’t allowed to choose. Every story has a villain. In mine, I couldn’t even defy him. He wanted a life that brought him reputation and praise—a respectable job, a safe future. Dreams, in his world, were a luxury I couldn’t afford. This is the story of a boy silenced by words— and the actor he was never meant to become. ----------------------------------------------- If you are still here, then go and read free chapters. They won't cost you and who knows, this might be your next favorite novel. ^..^ Note - There is no system in this novel. Everything will be how a normal human would solve problems. No golden fingers or supernatural powers. I want to make a real and relatable novel instead of the usual cheat systems. Also, the main plot of the novel revolves around acting and rising in the entertainment industry. However, his childhood shapes who he is now, so that will also be explored. Lastly, this story takes place in a parallel world to escape any copyright issues. This is an original story without any inspiration. All the scripts, songs and scenes are original and written by me myself. ^...^ ------------------------------------------------- Two chapters a day Now, about business - Want more chapters? Send gifts. Magic Castle - 1 bonus chapter. Spacecraft - 2 bonus chapters. Golden Gachapon - 3 bonus chapters. For example, if someone wants to read more chapters and they can't wait, they can gift one of these. If I'm awake, I'll upload the bonus chapter the very next second, at most it will take 24 hours. But I hope you won't exploit these... ^...^ --------------------------------------------------

By Fire and Frost: The Last Pup

" You were always so full of spirit, brother. Such a little terror you and Shaggydog were and even on the coldest nights on the Wall I could find a smile on my face as I remembered you all. You and Arya were cut from the same cloth, both so full of life and so keen to explore. She may have been Underfoot but you weren't too far from being so yourself." Jon said his voice sounded as if he was trying to be happy and yet it was very much not. Rickon tried to answer, tried to speak to his brother, and found he could not, though he did welcome the sound of Jon's voice and the words he continued to speak. It had been so long since he'd heard anyone he'd named as his kin. So long that he was sure he'd never hear them again and so he listened as Jon spoke and he felt the cold begin to be replaced by a warmth he'd not felt since before his father had left Winterfell all those years ago. " This is not how your life ends, Rickon. The gods aren't finished with you yet and your family misses you greatly. Come back to us brother, come back for I fear I cannot do what I must alone." Jon said softly. The flames began to wash over him and yet he felt no fear and it wasn't until he saw the blue eyes and the wall of ice that he began to worry. It was with the images of what seemed to be dead men marching that he awoke from and his panic threatened to overwhelm him only for him to see his brother and to then feel his arms wrap tightly around him.

One Piece: The Living Devil

"Rosse... huh..." Rosse stared blankly at the boy in the mirror, momentarily at a loss for words. The boy in the mirror had a smooth and fair face, well-defined features, exuding a sense of cold and stern aura. His deep, dark eyes shimmered with captivating light, and his whole body radiated a noble temperament. He had transmigrated, or perhaps it was memory awakening, and directly became a Celestial Dragon. ’This is just, way too good!’ However, his identity was a bit awkward. His name was Jaygarcia Rosse, a standard Celestial Dragon name, and his grandfather was Jaygarcia Saturn, one of the current Five Elders, and also the first Five Elder to be removed in the original One Piece. ——— [Ding! Defeat System at your service!] "Defeat System? What's the function?", Hearing the pleasant system prompt, Rosse felt even better. ══════════════ [Host: Rosse] [Strength: 63/100 (G+; even Marines are stronger than you)] [Overall Rating: A (All you’ve got going for you is status)] [Abilities: None] [Skills: None] [Note: Defeating enemies grants you rewards equal to the enemy’s overall rating -1.
