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.

Crossbar Challenge: Trying Again

[ Quest Failed ]

Dave was breathing heavily as he stopped just before he could run into the highway.

He placed both of his hands on his knees while he was panting and after a few seconds, he raised his watch to see that the timer had stopped at twenty-nine minutes.

<You were close, really close>

"You call four minutes off really close," Dave muttered.

<Yeah, it didn't hit thirty so it's close>

'Why did I even think I could complete six kilometers in under twenty-five minutes?' He thought, getting up on his feet fully.

<Well, you did it under thirty minutes and your energy didn't even fall that much, that's something>

[ 37/100 Energy ]

"Yeah, something," Dave muttered before he turned and slowly began to walk back from where he had come from. "Six Kilometers walk, I didn't even think of that before I decided to run six kilometers."

Dave had gone out for his run by 6:00 AM and approaching his house now he checked his watch to see that the time was 8:07 AM now.
