《Just Some Guy》Prologue

PROLOGUE
After months of preparation, hundreds of hours in the gym, and countless moments of visualizing the final result, everything was beginning to culminate to that one moment. The moment that I stepped forward from being a nobody, to the moment I became a somebody. But the best part was…
…It was something I did on my own.
*BUZZ!* The sound of the scoreboard buzzer rang out as a packed arena with thousands of raving basketball fans cheered on.
Commentator 1: And there it is folks, the start of what could be the most important game of this incredible season.
Commentator 2: That’s right. The fans here in Chicago are chalked to the brim with excitement.
Down the hallway, leading to the snack bar, a dark figure kneels to tie his sneakers. Before him are two of the greatest teams to ever play the sport, hustling up and down the court as fans cheer on. Millions were watching at home. The pressure was on like never before.
Commentator 1: Ladies and gentlemen, what we’ve seen here tonight is nothing less than a pure spectacle of athleticism. The score is nearly tied at 98-99. Forty five seconds remain on the clock.
Commentator 2: Lakers are taking their final timeout. No more time to plan a change in tactics.
The dark figure slowly makes his way through the shadows, only emerging into the light right before reaching courtside. His easy gait lumbered before turning into a heavy stride.
Commentator 2: Just twenty-five seconds remaining, Lakers lose the ball, Pippin passes to Jordan...
Commentator 1: …wait, what's this?! Some guy is dashing out onto the court!
Commentator 2: It appears to be a crazed fan!
The figure emerges from the shadows, donning a number 33 green and white Jersey with matching headband. He makes a blitz across the court, snatching the ball right out of Bulls number 23’s hands. He dribbles the ball four times and makes a juke towards the goal. Taking flight, he dunks the ball just before the buzzer goes off.

The arena erupted into chaos as the crowd came to their feet in shock as the intruder fell to the ground, landing on his back as the ball bounces from hitting the floor next to him. The players of both teams throw their hands in the air and shake their heads as police and arena ushers rush the court to apprehend the assailant.
Commentator 1: I’ve never seen anything like this, people. I’m completely stupefied.
Commentator 2: *shakes his head*
I felt completely elated as they placed me handcuffed into the back of that squad car. All my hard work and training had paid off. I did what no one had dared do before. Once at the precinct, I answered all their questions with a smile on my face. Getting myself into peak physical condition, gaining mental fortitude, and transforming that into outright balls. Hell, it took me over six months before I could even dunk. Another three to get myself to a level confident that I could ambush Air Jordan and assuredly pull off the shot, even if everyone was taken by surprise.
I had done it. I had taken myself from being a nobody into becoming somebody. Except for one problem. It was all a dream, and then I woke up…

Vaeril: First Transmigration
Three months into the advent of the apocalypse, Earth had turned into a supernatural RPG with horror and death as its motif. Except this real-life RPG game had no respawns. There was no second life. And Vaeril, a loner and hermit by cultivation, was quietly eking out his survival, making only the most minimal of human contact and avoiding the general majority of the population--zombies. When he sees a pair of siblings fleeing from a horde of zombies, he broke his carefully cultivated hermit-tude and attempted to save them. Vaeril should have known better. Humans were the real monsters of the apocalypse. Their betrayal left him subsequently bleeding and poisoned on the floor of an apartment. But not all hope was lost. In his most desparate moment, right on the brink of death, a system notification popped out. [You have unlocked the quirk [Transmigration].]

Corpse Crawler
Ludwig Lock wakes up in a hospital bed to find a weeping woman at his side. After some crying, more weaping and confusion, Ludwig discovers that that lady was his ten year old sister, and that he's been in a coma for fifteen years. He also learns that the world he had grown to know was no more since heroes, villains, and super powers inhabit the streets, being regarded as a lot of things withing an endless spectrum. Just when he was about to finally get started with his new life, Ludwig faced a streak of bad luck, the last event of this chain setting him up to die so a vigilante can save himself. After suffering the worst beating of his life and experimenting the incompetence of the law, Ludwig decides to use his own hands to achieve justice. He will face difficult challenges, traumatic situations, and probably horrible stuff to get his life rolling. But at least he's got a friend to help him. Not a normal one though. ---- IMPORTANT: I personally identify powers as a fantastical element, which is why I don't find weird the addition of other elements of the same vein if it stays within the logic of the world. New and old chapters get updated with relative frequency, (new chapter every week, though it may be delayed a day or more to problems or some other reason) and the story is in a draft-like state, meaning it will probably stay the same but there will be changes on the prose or writing. Also, I would apreciate if it is known to me (Respectfully) which points should I improve on.
