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.

With the quest popping up on his screen now, Dave was more than determined to keep the balls out as he really wanted to get those rewards.

The first ball was shot toward his right side and it wasn't much trouble for him as he dived toward it and pushed it out.

<You know receiving a quest from the system at this level means that keeping out six out of the eight balls isn't going to be easy>

'I am aware of that Catherine.'

<I'm just reminding you so you can put your sixth sense to good use>

The second ball was shot directly at him while he had already dived to the right but luckily for him, his legs has not completely shifted out of there, and with them, he was able to hit the ball away.

<That was a close one>

'Yeah, really close one.' Dave replied as he got ready for the next one.

The third shot was fired at the bottom right side and Dave had dived toward it at the right time but the ball had bounced on the floor and rolled over his hand to get into the net.
