**Chapter 2: The Unlocked Potential**

Bronny's eyes were glued to the screen as he explored the Real Life System: Kuroko no Basketball Edition. The sleek, high-tech gaming console that his parents had gifted him for his birthday was now more than just a gaming device - it was a portal to a new world of possibilities. He couldn't believe that he had been granted the abilities of Akashi Seijuro, the genius point guard from Kuroko no Basketball. As he continued to navigate through the system, Bronny discovered that he could access a virtual avatar that represented him in the virtual world. The avatar was a digital version of himself, with the same messy brown hair and bright smile. But what caught his attention was that his avatar had Akashi's eyes - piercing and intense. Bronny's mind was racing with excitement as he wondered what other features the system had to offer. He decided to check his stats and abilities, and the virtual menu in his mind displayed a list of attributes that made him feel like a completely different person. **Name:** Bronny James **Age:** 17 **Height:** 6'3" **Weight:** 170 lbs **Skills:** - Exceptional passing range and accuracy (Akashi Seijuro's ability) - Quick reflexes - Above-average shooting skills - Good ball handling The system also displayed a "Potential" meter, which was currently at 50%. Bronny had no idea what this meter meant, but he was eager to find out. As he pondered his next move, Bronny's phone buzzed with a text from his best friend, Bryce. "Hey, man, want to come over and play some ball? My dad just got a new hoop installed in our backyard." Bronny grinned, thinking that this could be the perfect opportunity to test his new abilities. He typed out a quick response, agreeing to meet up with Bryce. As he arrived at Bryce's house, Bronny couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. What if he could actually use Akashi's abilities in real life? What if he could make a difference in his game with these new skills? The two friends began to play a casual game of one-on-one, and Bronny decided to put his new abilities to the test. He focused on his passing, trying to make precise, long-range passes to himself, just like Akashi would. To his amazement, the ball seemed to find its way to him every time, and he started to feel an uncanny connection with the court. His passes were accurate, and his shots were going in with ease. Bryce was impressed, but also a bit confused. "Dude, what's going on with you? You're playing like a completely different person!" Bronny just smiled, not wanting to reveal the secret of the Real Life System just yet. But as the game continued, he realized that he was having the time of his life. The system had unlocked a new level of potential within him, and he was eager to see how far he could take it. As the sun began to set, Bronny and Bryce decided to call it a day, but Bronny knew that this was just the beginning of an incredible journey. The Real Life System had given him a gift, and he was determined to make the most of it. Little did he know, his life was about to change in ways he never could have imagined.
