/ Sports / Gravity's Gambit
Synopsis
In a world where basketball is not just a game but a lifeline, Zed Mac rises from the shadows of abandonment to claim his throne as the king of the court.
His father, a man driven by power, left Zed and his mother, convinced that his son would never amount to anything. But Zed defied those expectations, becoming a legendary player whose skills captivated the nation of Azagrut on the Khodour continent of Futuristic Parallel.
However, just as Zed reaches the pinnacle of his career, a devastating nanobots injury orchestrated by his treacherous teammate, Gib, threatens to shatter his dreams.
This betrayal forces Zed to confront the depths of his despair, leading him to a near-fatal encounter with a trial drug designed to heal him.
In his darkest hour, he meets the Dimensional Simulator, a sentient system from a civilization 500 years ahead of his time, which offers him a chance to rewrite his fate.
As Zed navigates the complexities of recovery, he discovers that the path to glory is fraught with challenges—both on and off the court. With the weight of his past and the expectations of a nation on his shoulders, he must learn to balance vengeance with redemption, and ambition with wisdom.
In a society where augmented reality, virtual experiences, and holographic innovations redefine the game, Zed's journey becomes a testament to resilience and the relentless pursuit of greatness.
Will Zed reclaim his title and rise above the betrayal, or will the forces of fate and technology conspire against him?
Step into a world where basketball is everything, and witness a saga of struggle, triumph, and the magnetic balance of life itself.

Much more unbelievable yet realistic imagination in this work. And the pace and emotional investment is as good as the world building... I recommend...
You can't deny this book is just a gem. The imagination behind it is just out of reach. Alright, nice one author. [img=Loving it][img=Loving it][img=Loving it][img=Smitten][img=Smitten][img=Feeling it][img=Feeling it][img=Feeling it]
I love this soty because the author had carefully consider every facet of it. It's so real and immersive....and I think even no sport people could give it a go. Fun fact: the tech and futuristic concept is mind blowing.. This author is an alien or maybe I haven't see much of science fiction. However, the way he represented them is interesting and unique.
I've read quite a few chapter of this novel and I'm loving the progression. I think even a non sporty person would love this because of the emotional investment and world building...
I was afraid I will forget something, so I came rushing. I binged this worked without even knowing and now I'm mad because the chaps aren't enough. The quality of this work is unprecedented. But then again, it's the same author and I've seen through his book that qualities are always guaranteed. However, that's not the surprising thing, I had in mind to casually read about sport and maybe drop it. But I never expected sport to meet the future or maybe the future meet sport. The blend of science fiction and sport is a marvel and dope. And the emotional investment and the characters and their relationships is unlike others and also an improvement on the author's side... I love this work and I recommend for those seeking a fresh perspective in sport novels.
So far this novel is good and it takes a different point of view in sport drama. And here, there's little to almost no cliché. The author have taken time to blend sci-fi with sport drama, it's nice. You can try it.
Alright, shameless self-review time! I'm giving myself a solid 10/10 for my hard work and smart effort. I’m not here to claim I'm the best, but I believe I’ve done pretty well, if you ask me. Now, let’s avoid wasting time on irrelevant hype. There’s already a lot of basketball novel in webnovel, and I was wondering if writing one was a mistake. However, this story idea has been brewing for a while, and I love basketball—even though I don’t know how to play it. Besides football, basketball is my only other passion. Sure, there’s wrestling too, but it’s been ages since I appreciated sports in general. I apologize for not being much of a fanboy. Ironically enough, I studied sports education in school. Now that we've cleared that up, even though I have a background in sports education, I’m a bit rusty when it comes to basketball (or even the general sports games). So, you might notice some mix-ups at the beginning. I’ll do my best to address any mistakes without over-editing. Just know that while I’m not a professional, I'm trying my best to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. So what sets this novel apart from its peers? It’s the recreation of the game itself! I've innovated certain rules and regulations—like the quadrant system—to suit this novel's unique selling point. This story is a blend of a futuristic setting and sports. You might love it or hate it because I've altered something you cherish. But hey, there are plenty of basketball stories out there; if this one doesn’t resonate with you, feel free to skip it. I consider myself an artist, and what I do is create original work—I bring ideas to life! There you have it. I’ve rambled on long enough! I’m not just here to praise my book; I’m saying that if you’re not afraid to challenge your prior understanding and love trying something new, give it a shot! But if you’re traditional about sports, this may not suit your fancy. And now for the best part... Feel free to ask me anything about the novel, and I'll do my best to answer!Thanks for giving my novel a chance, and good luck! The picture below is what the quadrant system looks like: feel free to comment...
