What can we learn from Siddhartha's life story?

Even though life wasn't all sunshine and rainbow, a man who hailed from the Philippines continued living and hoping. Even while wearing tattered clothes and shoes, he still persistently practiced, carrying the hope that he will one day get a little more skillful at the sport he loves. Unfortunately, this was all but wishful thinking. Not to mention the fact that he is severely lacking in the height department, he also don't have any notable talent in basketball, whatsoever. No matter how much time he dedicated to his practice sessions, he could only reach the average skill level of a streetballer in the Philippines. He couldn't even hold a candle to those random thugs you can find on the streets, much less fulfill his dream of one day becoming a professional player. One day, through layer upon layers of dreadful coincidences, he found himself waking up inside an unknown room — talking to someone who identified themselves as a part of a civilization much higher than a Type 6 civilization on the Kardashev Scale. How high are 'they', exactly? No one really knows. Due to an unforseen war that happened between Type 6 civilizations —civilizations who can, with relative ease, create and destroy universes or even a multiverse — an error occurred. It just so happens that the man was smack dab in the middle of where all the lightning strikes and literal lightning balls rained down after passing through the spatio-temporal reality that the mysterious entity 'created'. It even destroyed a fabric of the spatio-temporal reality in the process. 「As this was all due to a deviation on our otherwise omniscient calculations, we will grant you the wish that you so wanted as 'compensation' .」 Without any forewarning, the man was whisked away from the unknown space and was abruptly sent to who knows where. The only saving grace was the fact that he received a package as a 'bonus'. "I embraced something but it wasn't a woman but death!" "Why are all of these people so extraordinary when it came to basketball? Granted, this is basketball universe, but still…" Follow Seiji as he embarks on his basketball journey, meeting new adversaries and friends alike. ※・※・※・※ DISCLAIMER!

Brian transmigrated and obtained the Ghost Deceit Spell. A water ghost said, "Brian scared me to death. He swims even faster than me. Is he the water ghost or am I the water ghost?" A hanged ghost said, "That Brian is d*mn scary. He scared me so much I nearly hanged myself in suicide!!!" Sadako said, "Brian is too scary. He's not scared of me at all.

The ghost was trembling when it looked at him. "Bro, can your hand stop shivering? Am I that scary?"

Wesley was a young man with ambition. Growing up with no parents and nothing to his name, he vowed to succeed in life; gaining everything he’d ever wished for. Sadly, the world never worked the way you wanted it to. Just as Wesley’s business was taking off, he was gunned down in a restaurant he visited from time to time. That day, two thugs had gotten into an argument, and he just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Shortly after the ambulance arrived, Wesley had already breathed his last breath. Unexpectedly, this was just one of the many lives he's lived. *Welcome traveler 87671. Your trial period has ended. Please choose one of the following options provided. -Transmigration -Reincarnation -System Operative ''F*ck, that hurt!'' Wesley clutched his chest and exhaled heavily. ''Two lives in and you're still pulling the same shit? You couldn’t pull me out in a more peaceful way?’’ The system operative scoffed at Wesley's attitude. ''Listen, can you pick a position already? The other SO’s are watching some new rookie, and she’s going buck wild in one of our apocalypse settings. If I miss any of the good stuff, I’m upping the prices in your system shop. '' ‘’Bullshit.'' Wesley laughed at the System Operators threat. ''Make me a transmigrator. Being reincarnated is the worst option out of all the options you have given me.’’ ''Are you sure? You’ve got quite the mouth on you so I thought you would go for System Operator, and here I thought I’d gotten myself a new drinking buddy.'' The SO seemed genuinely bummed by Wesley's answer.
