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.

Left Out Of The Squad

Dave woke up early in the morning to find Emma's hair covering his face as the two of them were sharing one pillow now.

He didn't mind having her hair against his face as he liked that mixed scent of Shea butter and coconut coming from it.

Last night had been very enjoyable for him despite the way he had returned home and that wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for her.

<Remember you have a morning run to get to, a quest to complete if I'm being specific>

'Can't I just skip it today? I'm very tired.'

<Really?>

[ 100/100 Energy ]

'Fine.' He sighed inwardly. 'I'm going.'

The slightest move he had made had gotten detected by Emma as she slowly turned and wrapped her arms around him.

"Where are you going?" She asked with a sleepy voice as she slowly opened her eyes.

"For my daily jog," Dave said, sitting up on the couch.

"What?" She said as her voice had gone from sleepy to serious. "After all you went through last night."

"I'm okay now." He said with a smile.
