The Iconic celebration

Artur is an English-Portuguese boy growing up in Porto, Portugal, raised by his grandfather while his mother works in London. Football enters his life through his grandfather—not as a dream of fame, but as a shared ritual: walking to the stadium, cheering from the stands, believing that winning comes easy and heroes are born overnight. When Artur makes a promise to his grandfather to become a footballer, he quickly learns how heavy that promise is. Football isn’t just goals and celebrations—it’s failure, rejection, and doubt. He struggles to find his place, failing trials and questioning whether he’s good enough. As his grandfather grows older, time becomes another opponent Artur can’t outrun. Despite being mocked by fans, doubted by teammates, and discouraged by scouts, Artur refuses to quit. His grandfather’s words follow him everywhere: “Don’t stop knocking until the door opens.” Those words become his anchor. Before Artur can fully fulfill his promise, his grandfather passes away. Already having lost his father at the age of two, Artur now faces the world with only his mother by his side—and even she is far away. The person who believed in him most is gone. Broken but not defeated, Artur continues. One night, his grandfather appears in a dream—not as a ghost, but as a reminder of why he started. That moment becomes the turning point, the key that finally unlocks the back of the net. Though his grandfather is gone, Artur feels his presence every time he scores. Follow Artur’s journey, support the story with your reviews, golden tickets, and power stones—and discover what his celebration truly means.

The Alpha They Tried to Bury

Lyra Vale was born bondless, rankless, and unwanted. In a world where lineage decides worth, she was meant to disappear quietly. Instead, the wolves bowed. When Lyra’s unclassified Alpha power awakens during a deadly attack, it sends shockwaves through the werewolf hierarchy—and straight into the territory of Silverhide, home of the most feared Alpha in the North. Kael of Silverhide does not tolerate unpredictability. He rules through control, discipline, and iron restraint. Yet the moment Lyra enters his domain, his wolf does something it has never done before. It stands beside her. The Council brands Lyra a destabilizing anomaly. Rival packs move to claim or destroy her. Ancient laws are invoked to cage her power. And Kael is ordered to watch her, train her and contain her. But proximity blurs lines. Every shared breath tightens the pull between them. Every training session burns with unspoken tension. Every time Lyra’s power surges, Kael is the only one who can steady it, without dominance or force. Because Lyra doesn’t submit. She anchors. And Kael’s wolf is starting to choose her over law, over Council, over everything he has ever sworn to protect. As conspiracies surface and Alpha seats begin to fall, Lyra must decide whether to run from what she is or rise and take her place in a world that was never ready for her. And Kael must face the truth: The most dangerous thing about Lyra Vale isn’t her power. It’s the bond forming between them, one that could remake the werewolf world… Or burn it to the ground. She was never meant to be claimed. But his wolf already has.

Ren's Dagger

Seventeen years ago, the sky over Azura City tore open. From those jagged portals emerged a chaos that nearly leveled civilization, halted only by the emergence of the Shield—a secret order of elite warriors who stood as the final line of defense against the monstrous entities of the "Beyond." Today, the portals are a part of life, and joining the Shield is the only path to honor. ​For twin brothers Ren and Zen, the upcoming Shield Exam is the crossroads of their lives. Zen is the golden child—calm, precise, and possessing a natural talent that has already marked him as a future member of the Ten Leaders. Ren, however, is fueled by nothing but raw, reckless willpower. While his brother glides through training, Ren is the underdog, constantly dismissed by his peers and struggling to prove he belongs in a world where magic is outlawed and only results matter. ​The gap between them becomes a chasm when Zen achieves a legendary status during the trials, while Ren is left behind, branded a failure. In a moment of brotherly parting, Zen leaves Ren with a single, strange parting gift: a weathered, unremarkable dagger. To the other aspirants, it is a cruel joke—a pity prize for the brother who couldn’t make the cut. ​But as Azura City faces a new wave of portal activity and deep-seated secrets begin to leak from the Shield’s shadows, Ren realizes his journey isn't over. Haunted by his brother’s success and his own perceived weakness, Ren must decide if he will accept his fate or forge a new one. In a world that has already written him off, the "useless" dagger may be the only thing standing between Ren and the darkness threatening to consume his home.
