Prelude

[Congratulations, Host! The Slam Dunk System has been successfully activated! Please open the system interface to claim the main quest!]

One morning, when Wu Yufei woke from his sleep, he suddenly heard a sound in his mind like a system notification from a video game.

"Who?! Who was that?!"

Wu Yufei was startled, thinking some asshole looking to get beaten up was playing a prank by his ear.

However, when Wu Yufei climbed out of bed and looked around, he found that there was not a single person nearby.

What shocked Wu Yufei even more was that he was not in his college dorm at all, but in a completely unfamiliar room.

Where... was this?

Hadn't he gone out with his dorm mates for a birthday party last night, gotten completely wasted, then been carried back to the dorm and passed out?

Yet this was neither the familiar dorm he had lived in for two years nor any of the hotels around campus that he remembered.

And what had that voice just now been?

He had clearly drunk himself senseless last night, so why did his head not hurt at all after waking up? He was not thirsty or craving water either. There was not even any smell of alcohol on him.

Could some gentle, beautiful older sister have bathed him and carried him into bed?

There were simply too many questions in his head, leaving Wu Yufei unsure what he should even think about first.

With no other choice, Wu Yufei picked up a neatly arranged set of clothes from the cabinet beside his bed, pulled them on casually, and walked out of the room to find out who had brought him here.

After opening the door, he saw a rather beautifully furnished living room. From the decor alone, he could tell this family was well-off, at least middle class.

Unfortunately, there was no one in the living room.

Wu Yufei then searched the restroom, bathroom, kitchen, and another bedroom, but did not see a single soul.

There was only a note sitting on the kitchen counter.

"Yufei, Dad has gone to the company first. I've already contacted the team coach about the school matter. Remember not to be late."

"Uh... Yufei? That is indeed my name, but my dad doesn't work at a company. And this isn't my home. My college is hundreds of kilometers from home."

Staring at the note in his hand, Wu Yufei could not make heads or tails of it.

Could it be...

After thinking for a full two minutes, Wu Yufei came up with an explanation that perfectly accounted for his current situation.

Had he... somehow transmigrated??

"..."

Trembling, Wu Yufei tossed aside the note and ran back to his bedroom like the wind, grabbing a mirror from the desk and looking into it.

"This is... me?"

The face reflected in the mirror somewhat resembled the Wu Yufei he remembered, but it was more youthful, clearly that of a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old.

Wu Yufei then looked at the wardrobe in the room. Only then did he realize that, when standing upright, he was merely a little shorter than it!

That wardrobe was two meters tall! Did that not mean he was at least 185 centimeters?

No matter how unbelievable it seemed, Wu Yufei could only accept one fact: he truly had transmigrated.

"If that's the case, then that voice in my head just now was..."

Wu Yufei recalled the voice that had seemed to sound by his ear when he woke up.

Open the system interface?

Wu Yufei tried closing his eyes and saying in his mind, "Activate system."

Ding—System successfully activated! Now scanning the Host's physical information and assigning the main quest.

The next moment, Wu Yufei felt as though he had been placed on a platform, his entire body scanned by some kind of instrument.

Then, a beam of light appeared in the darkness behind Wu Yufei's closed eyes!

Something like a character status panel from a game appeared before him, displaying all kinds of data.

"Hiss..."

After taking in his attributes, Wu Yufei could not help drawing a sharp breath.

This... this was practically setting his future life to "super easy" mode, wasn't it? This body was only fifteen years old!

Opening his eyes, Wu Yufei lowered his head and admired the solid muscles on his arms.

Compared to his merely average physique in his previous life, Wu Yufei was extremely satisfied with his current body.

After reading so many transmigration stories, he had never expected to be chosen by the god of transmigration himself and receive the same dream treatment as those veteran transmigrators.

"Right, didn't Dad say just now that I had to go to high school and meet some coach?"

Wu Yufei remembered what the note had said.

He hurried back to the kitchen, picked up the note, and checked its contents again.

Turning the note over, he saw the name of a high school clearly written on the back.

Kanagawa Prefecture Private Miuratodai High School.

Rumble—!

A bolt of thunder struck straight into Wu Yufei's heart.

Kanagawa? Miuradai?

"Th-this fucking world is Slam Dunk?!"

Happiness had arrived so suddenly that Wu Yufei had no idea what expression he should wear.

Slam Dunk was his favorite anime from his previous life, bar none!

He had watched both the anime and manga over fifty times! Every time, he was as thrilled as he had been the first time.

It was also because of this anime that he had fallen in love with basketball and had remained a key player on his school's team from elementary school through college.

Although he had only been 175 centimeters tall in high school, his speed and technical advantages still allowed him to shake those players over 180 centimeters right out of their shoes.

But that had only been enough for him to strut his stuff at school and on street courts.

His height had always been the greatest limitation preventing Wu Yufei from entering the professional world. He had tried countless methods to grow taller—diet, exercise, even medication. He had tried every method available, but all had ended in failure.

In the end, Wu Yufei had no choice but to accept that basketball could only be his hobby and specialty, not his livelihood.

But things were different now!

This body was already nearly 190 centimeters at only fifteen years old. Combined with scientific dieting and training, he would absolutely be able to play professional basketball in the future!

And on top of that, he had transmigrated into the world of Slam Dunk, his favorite series.

At this very moment, was there anyone happier than Wu Yufei? No!

Wu Yufei tucked the note into his bag, grabbed a sandwich from the refrigerator and wolfed it down in a few bites, then returned to his room and picked up his wallet. After confirming that it indeed contained several large-denomination yen bills, he happily headed out.

Downstairs from the apartment building, Wu Yufei hailed a taxi. After handing the note in his hand to the driver, he set off toward Miuratodai High School.
