My Goalkeeping System

What is worse than being the worst team in the world? For Dave Richards that was a very easy but heartbreaking question to answer, a goalkeeper who performed poorly between the sticks, he was still available as a first-choice goalkeeper because Unique FC didn't have any other goalkeeper. He was slow on his feet, couldn't jump properly and worst of all, he didn't know how to hold the ball properly. The only way that Unique FC was able to survive taking in a massive goal-fest sometimes was because of the extra effort they put in their defence. After a terrible match in which Dave wasn't able to make any saves and also made a lot of mistakes, he was seriously scolded by the managerial staff and almost received a beating from his angry teammates. He got home sad and also angry at all those who told him he looked like his grandfather and would therefore inherit his goalkeeping skills. He discovered a hidden door below his room and when he got down there the only thing he could see was a black box. He found the box to be quite familiar and when he opened it the last thing he saw was a bright white light when the light was gone he could see something in his field of vision. [ Welcome Dave ] [ You have activated the Goalkeeping system ] A female voice read out the messages. This is a story about how an ordinary man who didn't know his place between the sticks went from nothing to pro and beyond that.

Climbing A Hill And Finding A Strange Place

"Sorry, Ferran but I don't think I have time for that, I have a really tight schedule," Dave said before quickly ending the call. He didn't even give the midfielder the time to reply.

After ending the call, the goalkeeper slid his phone back into his pocket and stared off into the distance for a while before he took off.

This time instead of just running straight on the road, he decided to take a route that led into the woods.

There was a clear path in the area so he didn't have to struggle with weeds, stones, or anything else.

After being notified by his watch that he had completed five kilometers, he didn't stop and kept on running deep into the area.

"Let's just add like three kilometers more." He muttered to himself.

By the time the three extra kilometers were covered, he had left the forest area and was now standing in front of a very tall but slanted hill.
