Zusammenfassung

Javier Morales has harbored an unwavering passion for basketball since his childhood. Even as a young boy, he devoted his time to watching NBA games after school, fostering a deep love for the sport and nurturing dreams of making it to the big leagues. However, destiny had a different plan, and Javier's height plateaued at a modest 5'9". In the towering world of NBA prospects, where most players stood nearly a foot taller, Javier faced the unfortunate consequence of being overlooked by many teams, leading to his undrafted status in 2005. Undeterred by the setbacks, Javi refused to relinquish his love for basketball. His tenacity paid off when the San Antonio Spurs offered him a chance to prove himself through a 10-day contract. Little did he know that accepting this opportunity would mark a turning point in his basketball journey. [Would you like to open the Starter Pack?]

'Thoughts'

"Dialogue"

 

Basketball defined my world. I vividly recall being an 11-year-old, captivated by the Bulls' finals in 1995-1996. Jordan's mesmerizing footwork and his picture-perfect fadeaway left an indelible impression on me. From heart-pounding buzzer beaters to exhilarating poster dunks, I knew then that playing in the NBA was my dream. Yet, fate seemed to have different plans. While other kids sprouted up over summers, transforming almost beyond recognition, I remained stuck at 5'4" as I entered freshman year of high school.

Undeterred amidst towering opponents, I poured my heart into tryouts, outscoring every other freshman with 15 points in a full-court 5v5 and dishing out 6 assists. I believed this performance could secure my spot on the team, maybe even pave a path to the NBA. However, the coach's words in his office shattered that hope.

"Son, you did exceptionally well out there. Your scoring ability and unique passing touch stood out. Your spacing created numerous open looks for your teammates."

In that moment, I felt a sense of belonging, envisioning a future on the court despite the towering competition. The prospect of making it to the NBA seemed tangible. Yet, the coach's next words pierced through my dreams.

"But, quite frankly, you're not tall enough. I'm sorry"

The world went dark, and subsequent moments blurred into static. I hastily left the office before the coach could finish. That day, I cried for hours at home. My mom checked on me, but I insisted I was okay. Despite the coach's verdict, I continued to practice, seeking solace in nearby parks, determined to prove everyone wrong about my height.

A/N : Apologies for the short chapter; the first chapter serves as a foundation, offering essential background and depth to set the stage for the story. I'd appreciate any feedback, this is my first story. Also cover is AI generated, couldn't really find a good image for a short Mexican Player surrounded by giants that be average NBA players lol. If anyone finds a better one lmk.

Reincarnated at Level Two Million

Currently injured with two slipped discs on my nerve. will require surgery. will update book after recovery. est spring 2024 *Volume 1 has been completed* Gary's retirement was supposed to be a joyous event. Now he must start over in a new world. The only hitch is God messed up and made him way overpowered. Will he be able to live a normal life with a level of 2,000,000 when the average level of the planet is 15?! This is my first attempt at writing again since my father's cancer was found. I hope that I am able to still write at the level you all find enjoyable. Making you the reader happy has always been one of my greatest joys and I hope it can lift me out of this difficult time. A word of warning before you partake in the tale. This is not a harem. This is not about some edge lord. This is a tale of an ordinary man who was forced into extraordinary events. Its a tale of a journey from being a simple yes man (some would say beta) to becoming more assertive. The main character gets abused a lot in this book, just a warning in advance since that offends some people. That is what is required to push him to become more assertive… regardless thanks for reading, I read every chapter comment and independent paragraph comment, I don’t get notifications about replies. Another notice: Please don’t try to apply the logic of earth to the characters in this book, it is a different universe with different behaviors and rules… Trigger Warning: The MC loses his memory for around 16 chapters. Disclaimer: The gods and goddesses in this book are all made up. Please do not apply your personal religious beliefs on them. They are a set of fictional characters created for enjoyment. As the roman, greek, and norse gods these gods and goddesses have a gender and are not some genderless enigmatic omnipresent being. They behave and act a lot like normal people and should be treated as just another character. Discord: https://discord.gg/ERfXt8w Wow you are still reading this??? There’s a book you can read you know… Okay… seriously the book is just one click away…
