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.

Tedious Quest

"Fifty-seven." The goalkeeper muttered with a groaning voice as he slowly pulled himself up again with shaky hands. "Fifty-eight."

He was sweating profusely now as the sun was beginning to get intense on the spot he had chosen and he couldn't shift to a place with a little shade because that would result in him getting punished by his system for six straight months.

"Sixty-five." He muttered as he slowly pulled himself up with his shaky hands.

Catherine had been quiet so far in his period of struggling as she didn't want to cause him to lose focus.

The goalkeeper was breathing quite heavily now and the shaking of his hands seemed to have increased now that he had less than twenty more push-ups to complete the quest and escape getting punished.

"Eighty-five." This time he was gritting his teeth as he pulled himself up.

<Just a few more to go> Catherine said to give him a little sense of determination and also remind him that it was almost over.
