In Lukas' past life, despite his immense talent and unwavering dedication to basketball, he was unable to realize his dream of playing in the NBA. The path to professional basketball was paved with obstacles that seemed insurmountable at times. Lukas faced numerous challenges, from injuries that hindered his progress to fierce competition that constantly pushed him to his limits.
Moreover, the financial burdens of pursuing a career in basketball weighed heavily on Lukas and his family. They struggled to support his aspirations, and Lukas often had to juggle part-time jobs and basketball training, leaving little time for rest or personal development. As time went on, the relentless pursuit of his dream began to take a toll on his physical and mental well-being.
Lukas was born into a multicultural family. His mother, Maria, was German, while his father, Jamal, hailed from the United States, giving Lukas a unique blend of German and African-American heritage. His parents, both supportive and loving, played a crucial role in shaping his character and nurturing his love for basketball.
Maria, a kind-hearted and nurturing woman, always emphasized the importance of education alongside Lukas' athletic pursuits. She encouraged him to strive for academic excellence, recognizing the importance of a well-rounded upbringing. Jamal, a former basketball player himself, served as Lukas' first coach and mentor, instilling in him the fundamentals of the game and teaching him the values of hard work and determination.
Lukas also had an older sister, Lena, who was his confidante and source of motivation. She shared in his love for basketball and was his biggest cheerleader, attending every game and providing unwavering support.
As Lukas adjusted to his new reality as a 12-year-old, he discovered a mysterious system that had become an integral part of his existence. The NBA System, bestowed upon him during his transmigration, promised to enhance his basketball skills and propel him closer to his dreams.
With the NBA System, Lukas could train his physical attributes, such as strength, speed, agility, and endurance. It also provided him with in-depth knowledge of basketball strategies, techniques, and player analysis. Additionally, the system had a unique feature that allowed Lukas to earn experience points (XP) by competing in various basketball challenges and games.

As Lukas stared at his newfound powers, a flicker of determination ignited within him. He was determined to overcome the obstacles that had prevented him from reaching the NBA in his past life.

So sorry for the delay on the 2nd chapter.
I can´t promise you regularly updates on the story because of my current apprenticeship. They will be irregurlarly but it should be weekly. I need to reach plat on league of legends to overtake a buddy again xD After that it should be easier for me to write and take my time to review the story :D
Any feedback would be appreciated!
After his transmigration, Lukas found himself back in the comfort of his childhood home. The realization of being a 12-year-old again, with a second chance at his dreams, stirred a mix of emotions within him. As he walked into the living room, he spotted his mother, Maria, sitting on the couch, engrossed in a book.
Lukas couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions as he approached his mother. His eyes welled up with tears, and he embraced her tightly. Startled, Maria looked up, concern etched on her face. "Lukas, my dear, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" she asked, gently stroking his back.
Sniffling, Lukas managed to compose himself. "Mom, it's just... I'm so grateful to have you here." he choked out, his voice filled with a mixture of joy and relief.
Maria's eyes softened, understanding his emotional state. She held Lukas even tighter, her voice soothing. "I'm here for you, always. We'll get through anything together."
As the intensity of the moment eased, Lukas couldn't help but lighten the mood. He pulled away from the embrace, a playful smile spreading across his face. "Hey, Mom, remember when I used to beat you at one-on-one basketball in the driveway?"
Maria chuckled, a nostalgic glimmer in her eyes. "Oh, I remember. But don't forget, you still had a lot to learn back then. Maybe this time, I'll be the one showing off some moves," she teased.
Their laughter filled the room, momentarily casting away the weight of Lukas' transmigration and reminding him of the love and joy that surrounded him.
As Lukas stepped into Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Middle School in Munich, he couldn't help but feel a mix of curiosity and determination. However, his mind was occupied with the weight of his transmigration. He wasn't the average 12-year-old boy; he was an adult trapped in a child's body.
Lukas walked through the bustling corridors, his gaze steady and composed. The stares from his peers didn't faze him, as he understood the complexities of his situation. He knew that making friends with classmates his age might prove challenging, given his adult mindset.
As Lukas settled into his new classroom, his mind wandered, contemplating the mission notification he received from the NBA System upon entering the school. Should he join the basketball team or focus solely on practicing his basketball skills? The decision weighed heavily on his mind.
An inner dialogue ensued, each side presenting its arguments. On one hand, Lukas recognized the benefits of joining the school team. It would provide an opportunity to showcase his abilities, potentially catch the attention of scouts or coaches, and gain the camaraderie of fellow players. It would also be a chance to relive his basketball dreams in a more tangible way.
On the other hand, Lukas acknowledged the challenges that came with his situation. Would he be able to bond with teammates who were much younger than him? Would his advanced skills create jealousy or resentment? The thought of standing out and potentially disrupting the dynamics of the team made him pause.
After careful consideration, Lukas reached a decision. While he understood the potential difficulties of joining the school basketball team, he was determined to embrace the mission and push himself outside of his comfort zone. It was an opportunity to explore his abilities, develop new relationships, and possibly help his teammates grow.
Lukas believed that age shouldn't be a barrier to pursuing his dreams, and he was ready to face any challenges that came his way. He knew that his unique perspective and experience could bring a fresh perspective to the team, and he wanted to prove that greatness could be achieved regardless of age.
With newfound resolve, Lukas approached Mr. Schmidt, his homeroom teacher, during a break. He expressed his interest in joining the school basketball team and sought guidance on the necessary steps to take. Mr. Schmidt, impressed by Lukas' determination, assured him of his support and promised to facilitate his integration into the team.
As Lukas prepared to leave the classroom, Mr. Schmidt handed him a piece of paper. "Lukas, here's the schedule for the upcoming basketball tryouts. Make sure you're well-prepared and give it your all. Remember, success comes from hard work and perseverance."
Lukas took the schedule, gratitude shining in his eyes. "Thank you, Mr. Schmidt. I appreciate your help more than you know."
With a nod of encouragement, Mr. Schmidt replied, "You're welcome, Lukas. I'm excited to see what you can achieve. Remember, the journey matters as much as the destination. Enjoy every moment, learn from the experience, and never stop believing in yourself."
As Lukas left the classroom, the weight on his shoulders lightened. He realized that this mission was not just about basketball; it was a chance for personal growth, resilience, and proving that age was just a number.
With the NBA System as his ally, Lukas was determined to make the most of his new beginning. He would use his adult mindset, experience, and skills to navigate the complexities of being a 12-year-old basketball prodigy. The journey would be difficult, but Lukas was ready to face the world head-on and redefine what it meant to chase his dreams.
