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.

Things Aren't Looking Good

'I've failed the quest, it's supposed to reactivate, but why is it still not activated?'

<Ugh…about that>

'What?'

<Remember when I said that the system was going to disappoint you in some matches and you should be prepared for those days?>

'Yeah.'

<Well, this has turned out to be one of those days but since you have already failed the quest at the sixth minute of the match, you'll have to scale through it with no reward guaranteed at the end>

'Oh, I see, but did it really have to be in this match?'

<You know it is said most footballers crumble under pressure, and with your system, you've been dealing with that pressure quite well, but now that it's gone temporarily, let's see how well you do under the biggest pressure you've felt so far in your career, this is the biggest stage that you've played in so far in your career after all>

'Crumble under pressure.' The goalkeeper muttered in his mind.

<I've already started seeing signs>
