acidic rim

Quando o pai biológico e a madrasta de Lu Ming vieram procurá-lo, ele não se sentiu feliz ou entusiasmado. Há muito tempo, o pai de Lu Ming, Lu Yaohua, abandonou sua esposa e filho e se casou com sua amante. Durante 18 anos, Lu Ming não viu seu pai, mesmo quando sua mãe faleceu. Agora, o pai de Lu Ming veio procurá-lo porque seu meio-irmão estava doente e precisava de um transplante de rim. A primeira coisa que seu pai e madrasta disseram a ele foi que queriam um rim dele. "Somos uma família. Você é o irmão mais velho dele. É sua responsabilidade salvar seu irmãozinho. Se você puder ajudar Ze, daremos a você 10 milhões de yuans", ofereceu Lu Yaohua. "Um ser humano pode sobreviver com um único rim, certo? Como você pode não salvar seu irmão quando ele está morrendo? Você é igualzinho à sua mãe inútil!" repreendeu a madrasta. "Droga! Eu nunca teria concordado que o pai gastasse os 10 milhões se o centro de doadores tivesse um rim adequado para mim!" xingou o irmão mais novo. [Opção 1: Concordar com o pedido. Recompensa: Um halo por suportar humilhação. Opção 2: Recusar o pedido. Recompensa: 51% das ações da Wanke Imobiliária—uma das 500 maiores empresas listadas do país.] Lu Ming olhou friamente para os três visitantes e zombou. "Eu não tenho um irmão como você, nem família. Saiam!"

In the concrete jungles of Montego Bay, Jamaica, 14-year-old Kyle Wilson doesn’t have much—just an absent father, a worn-out pair of shoes, and a rusted rim hanging behind his rundown school. But what he does have is height, heart, and hunger. When he stumbles across basketball for the first time, a fire ignites inside him. It’s not just a game. It’s escape. Identity. A way out. Above the Rim, Below the Poverty Line is a coming-of-age sports drama that follows Kyle from the raw streets of Jamaica to the polished courts of America, and eventually to the world stage. But talent alone won't be enough. Poverty, violence, betrayal, and self-doubt lurk around every corner. This is a journey about more than basketball—it’s about survival, legacy, and the cost of chasing greatness.

From the dusty courts of Umuahia to the floodlit arenas of a national university tournament, Beyond the Rim tells the unforgettable story of Chike Obasi, a young man who everyone thought would never amount to anything. Laughed at, rejected, and mocked for his awkwardness, Chike finds himself drawn into the world of university basketball, where sweat, scars, and self-belief are tested against towering odds. With anime like Slam Dunk and Naruto as his silent mentors, and with engineering textbooks piled beside his sneakers, Chike learns that greatness is not born—it is forged through failure, discipline, and the courage to rise when the world pushes you down. But basketball isn’t the only game he has to play. Between the rivalry of hearts—Halima’s jealousy, Amara’s fleeting interest, and Ngozi’s quiet yet unshakable loyalty—Chike must learn what it means to truly love and be loved. As exams loom, teammates clash, and opponents scheme to break him, Chike’s journey crescendos in a final that is more than just a game—it is a kaleidoscope of his life, reflecting every sacrifice, every doubt, and every dream. Will he rise beyond the rim and claim his place in history, or will the weight of expectations and memories of rejection pull him back into the shadows?

Year 202x, Earth discovered that they were not alone in the Universe. The governments were made known that Earth, was actually located in the backwaters of the Galaxy and even further from the center of the Universe. Located far away from where many of the other lifeforms were born and interacted. In fact they were so far away that the types of energy Earth is able to utilize, is really limited compared to those from the center of the Universe. It was a wonder, that the people of Earth could even develop to what they are even now. The following year, Earth has decided to join the galactic alliance. A decade later, the regular people of Earth could finally start entering the Universe. Albeit in a different form, from what many may expect.

Do you like a strong protagonist? Do you like a protagonist that always wins? Do you like a protagonist with a high sense of morality? Do you like a supporting cast that will protect the protagonist every time he falls? Yeah! You get none of that here. Yes, the protagonist is strong. However, the people screwing with him is a lot stronger. Yes, he does win. However, most of the time, he ended up cleaning after himself. No, his morality is dubious at best. No, his friends will continue to beat him whilst he is down. Do you like all of the points listed above? If yes, you have issues, my friend. That’s why I believe you will enjoy this stupid story I wrote. Come and join Eduard and his friends from the chat group as they explore the Outer Rim. Their only objective is to protect and expand their settlement. With research from multiple branches of magic, cultivation, technology and faith, which one will they take? Will their path to victory be paved with good intention or the blood of their enemies? Yeah! That’s my sales pitch.

In the dense night of The Spire on Vesper Island— Beside a Benz, a handsome, composed, and dignified man lifted a striking beauty in a red dress with one arm, pressing her against the car door and lowering his head for a deep kiss. In the faint light and shadow, the woman's flowing hair was swept by the wind, wrapping around the man's finger, which wore a pinky ring.
