THE_V1S1ON

Jonathan Brandit was once on the path to becoming a professional basketball player, but a car accident changed his life forever, leaving him wheelchair-bound and filled with regret. Haunted by thoughts of what could have been, Jonathan spends his days shooting hoops in a gym. One day, he suffers a heart attack and wakes up in a completely different world, in the body of another person.

To his astonishment, Jonathan realizes he's now living inside the world of a novel he once read, titled "Turning Point," which revolves around basketball. He has become an "extra" player name Ethan Albarado—a benchwarmer—on the protagonist's team, Lucas Graves.

 With this unexpected second chance, Jonathan or Ethan Albarado is determined to achieve his dream of becoming a pro basketball player.

 But in this new world, will he rise to greatness, or will he face new challenges that threaten to bring him down again?
