The Lone Neymar
---
Chinedu Okafor was a forgotten name.
A struggling footballer from the slums, mocked by teammates, abandoned by scouts, and rejected by fate. His only light in the darkness was Neymar—the idol he copied, worshipped, and dreamed of becoming.
But dreams don’t change reality.
At twenty-three, with nothing but calloused feet and a broken heart, Chinedu died on a lonely street after another day of failure.
When he opened his eyes again, the mirror didn’t show his face.
It showed Neymar’s.
Now reborn in the body of Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, he carries the weight of two lives—his own wasted youth, and Neymar’s brilliance. But he also carries a pain only he remembers: the pain that Neymar, despite all his genius, would never lift the Ballon d’Or.
Not this time.
He abandons his old name, erases his past, and assumes Neymar’s identity with a single vow:
He will not just be Neymar.
He will be the Neymar.
The one who rewrites history.
The one who forces the world to recognize his name.
The one who finally stands at the peak of football, Ballon d’Or in hand, destiny shattered beneath his feet.
This is not a fairy tale.
It is obsession, fire, and blood.
A lone wolf’s march to immortality.
