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.

Outsmarting The System

<I've been waiting for that quest to appear>

'Avoid junk food for three months.' Dave read the quest subconsciously to make sure he was seeing it right. 'Three months!'

<Yeah, junk food is not good for anybody's health, especially an athlete like you>

'Does pizza count as junk food?' Dave asked, looking at the pizza package he was holding.

<Don't ask me silly questions Dave, the quest isn't compulsory so if you want you can go ahead and eat and then miss out on lots of JUICY REWARDS>

She made sure to stress the part about the rewards being juicy.

"Come on." He said with a sigh as he dropped the pizza package back into the freezer and slammed it shut.

'What am I supposed to eat now that my stomach is starting a riot?'

<Something healthy, vegetables, grains, meat is also good you need protein>

'Yeah but none of those things have been made into a meal yet in this house.'

<Then wait for one to be made into food>

'I'll probably be dead by then but…'
