The Golden Age of Basketball

Kaien Everflame was a nobody. No talent. No blessings. No kingdom backing him. When the gods summoned "heroes" from another world, Kaien wasn’t supposed to be among them. But fate—glitched, broken, twisted—dragged him in anyway. Stripped of power and tossed into the wild like garbage, Kaien is left to die in a world of monsters, dungeons, and divine bloodlines. But instead of giving up… He unlocks the Crest of Calamity—a forbidden power that adapts to kill anything stronger than him. Now, Kaien doesn’t just want to survive. He wants revenge. Respect. A harem. And one hell of a legacy. But he’s not alone. Alongside four other outcasts— Reinhard Skyeveil, a disgraced noble with wind-blade mastery Donovan Blackguard, a silent guardian with an unbreakable will Aziel Duskborne, a fire prince with charm, trauma, and flirt game Monku Ironpelt, a beastkin brawler with fists, loyalty, and zero filter (And okay, also Nikolai. He’s smart. But he’s not lewd.) Together, they’ll take on kingdoms, slay corrupted beasts, flirt with goddesses, break the world’s rules—and maybe even fix it. Brotherhood. Betrayal. Boobs. Blades. This isn’t your average isekai. This is a full-blown rise-from-the-dirt-to-divinity epic with waifus, war, and wild magic.
