Baseball Journey

Trollbjorn
Kai Klein doesn't love baseball. Baseball doesn't care. At 210cm tall with an arm that can shatter radar guns, the sixteen-year-old German is the kind of pitcher coaches dream about. There's just one problem: he'd rather be doing literally anything else. He only started playing because his best friend Daiki saw what he could do in PE, put a baseball in his hand, and told his father. Kai didn't care enough to say no. But when Daiki's father moves the family back to Japan to rebuild a fading high school baseball program in coastal Miyazaki, Kai follows. Saying no to Daiki has never been something he's good at. Now he's the tallest person in every room, struggling with kanji, and surrounded by teammates who've sacrificed their childhoods for a sport he plays on a whim. Japanese high school baseball isn't a hobby. It's a religion. And Kai just walked into the temple with a cannon arm and no faith. His catcher has a plan for both of them. His coach sees a once-in-a-generation talent. The scouts are already circling. Everyone can see what Kai could become. Everyone except Kai. Between the grueling summer tournaments, a coastal town that's slowly becoming home, and an ocean that offers the only peace he can find, one question keeps surfacing: Can you learn to love something you never chose? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Genre: Sports / Slice of Life / Coming of Age Updates: 1 chapter every Mon,Wed,Fri Content: No harems. No systems. No supernatural elements. Just baseball, friendship, and figuring out who you are when everyone already decided for you.

THE MORTHEAL

Samael Ashbourne has spent his life in isolation, deep in the mountains alongside his grandfather—a former warrior who turned his back on the world after a tragedy no one dares to speak of. Even far from civilization, Samael's raw talent could not be hidden. Born with an immense reserve of spiritual energy and an extraordinary gift for magic, he was, by any measure, a prodigy. But talent means nothing when the world decides to break you. Everything changed the day a powerful enemy emerged from the shadows. Samael survived—barely—thanks to his grandfather's intervention. But the cost was absolute. His spiritual energy core was destroyed, severed forever from the source of all magic. In a world where power defines a person's worth, losing spiritual energy is not just a defeat. It is an annihilation. Overnight, Samael went from being a boy destined for greatness to a ghost—useless, powerless, forgotten. But his story did not end there. Forced to rebuild himself from nothing, Samael turned to the only thing still within his reach: his own body. Through relentless training, through pain and silence, he carved a new kind of strength—one born not of magic, but of will. Yet strength alone is never enough. Hunted by those who wish to erase every trace of his existence—and every hope of his happiness—Samael embarks on a dangerous journey across the world alongside his grandfather. Together, they walk through lands of both breathtaking beauty and unspeakable cruelty, facing beasts, memories, and the ghosts of the past. Because when the ashes fall, not everyone dies. Some are reborn.
