болеть is the first verb I have come across that seems to have two present tense conjugations. All translations for this verb (Google, Yandex, ChatGPT) use the following:
я болею
ты болеешь
он/она болеет
мы болеем
вы болеете
они болеете
However, in a story I am reading, these are the forms used.
я болю
ты болишь
он/она болит
мы болим
вы болите
они болят
Reverso is the only translator that shows BOTH conjugations. Is there some logic here or difference in meaning I am missing?

он/она болит
они болят
These forms mean "it hurts / they hurt" in relation with body parts:
Мои ступни болят (ступни это они, female plural) = My feet hurt.
Голова болит (голова это она, female singular) = My head hurts.
«Ты болишь» (singular) или «вы болите» (plural) are possible as address in literature:
You, my head, hurt.
You, my fingers, hurt.
Never seen in real life.
Болеть это to be sick (or ill).
Я болею = I am sick.
Он/она болеет = He/she is sick.
Они болеют = They are sick.
Etc.

It's interesting that the first verb we also can translate like:
I support my team.
Я болею за свою команду.😄👨🎤⛹️♀️

The second part makes no sense.
1️⃣ Болеть - to be sick/ill.
Present time:
Я болею - I’m sick
Ты болеешь - you’re sick
Он/она болеет - he/she is sick
Мы болеем - we are sick
Вы/вы болеете - You (polite)/You all are sick
Они болеют - they are sick
2️⃣ To indicate that some body part hurts/aches
we use the word “болеть” in different conjugation as meaning “to be hurting”
And in present time it has only 2 forms: singular — «болит» and plural — «болят»
And you indicate a subject ( someone) in Genitive case who feels pain : У + Genitive
Present time
У меня болИТ зуб (singular) - my tooth hurts
У бабушки болЯТ зубы (plural) - grandma's teeth hurt

Второй вариант имеет смысл только в вариантах он/она и они в отношении болящего органа или конечности тела:
У меня болит голова.
У него болят зубы.
Кроме этого достаточно первой формы.
Ты болеешь, я болею, мы болеем и так далее.
