Blood, Sweat, and Hustle.
Kendrick "K-Dawg" Rivers has always been the underdog. Growing up in a gritty urban neighborhood where dreams often fade faster than graffiti on abandoned walls, his only way out is basketball. But making it to the top is more than just crossing over defenders or draining three-pointers. It's about survival in a world where hustle off the court is just as important as hustle on it. Between dealing with a father caught up in gang life, a mother working three jobs, and the weight of the streets dragging him down, Kendrick's shot at the pros seems farther away every day. But when a former NBA player turned coach takes an interest in him, Kendrick gets one last chance to rewrite his story. All he has to do is survive the trials of life, the competition for the spotlight, and a bitter rivalry with his best friend turned enemy, Trenton. It's a battle for fame, freedom, and a future and Kendrick will have to shed blood, sweat, and hustle to make it. -
SYSTEM ONLINE: dawn of a new era
Imagine a gamer, so skilled he bends reality itself (or so he thought). One moment he's conquering virtual worlds, the next, he is *in* the world. Trapped within the hyper-realistic game, he faces foes far more terrifying than any pixelated monster, forbidden magic, dark powers, and a looming darkness that threatens to consume not just his avatar, but his very soul. Will he find a way back, or is he destined to become a legend…or a ghost? The line between game and reality blurs, leaving him questioning: is this escape, or a fate worse than death?, would he be able to claim what he came that far for? and what happens when he begins to question reality as he discovers that he was in a simulation before he got sealed in the game ---------------------------- Excerpt: Where am I?" Blaze thought as he looked about in an empty room filled with nothing but an active mist of darkness. At this moment, Blaze was conflicted and the feeling of anxiety coupled with a foreboding sense of insecurity made him feel discomfort. "The last thing I remember was, me being in my gaming room rejoicing after finally defeating the final boss in the game when a notification suddenly pops up..." Blaze thought for a while and suddenly it came back "the notification!!,they promised me a cash reward of 10million dollars if I could complete the final task. So…,is this the final task. Sitting in a dark room without furniture,I can totally do it. After that,that cash reward would be mine!". Everytime Blaze thought of the cash reward, he'd be distracted from his thought. He stayed there for 3 hours, sometimes standing up to walk around the room which seemed as though he was walking around in circles, which also confuzzled him. How'd he know that he was there for 3 hours?, after sitting for a while, a digital clock suddenly appeared and what confused yet scared him, was the fact that the clock seemed to follow him everywhere he went. 30 minutes in, he heard a **PING** sound and a voice suddenly said "System Online- Welcome User 432234!". ________________________________ WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT, READ NOW TO FIND OUT MORE!!……… Update between Monday - Friday (seldom Saturday)!!. -

/Forbidden to post. This book is not contracted by any platform./ "Wow, what happened?" The ball stopped. Who is he?" One of the comments said. The atmosphere turned off bustling. "It worked.We should be able to score." A loud shout from the Teiko team captain. Setters then provide a quick pass to their Ace.Two opposing middle blockers try to block. But it's a shame they were too late on the jump.The ball finally managed to fall under the opponent's area. "This is Shuichi Takao.Libero from Teiko school boys volleyball team." His commentary friend then replied. "It's great to be able to stop Heiji's deadly serve.The dance of the Teitan school boys' volleyball team." The commentators at the volleyball match praised Takao.

Aren't you the one sitting behind me?" One of them said that. Takao then I remembered the first time he sat on his bench. He saw that there were several scary-looking people sitting in front, behind, right and left. "You?" Takao pointed at the youth with his index finger. "Finally, you remembered.Don't interfere in our business if you don't want your body to be hurt." The young man threatened me. A smile graced Takao.
