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.

My Goalkeeping System

"That was really fun," Dave said before crashing down on his bed.


"Yeah," Mateo said before crashing down on his bed flat on his face. "But tiring too."


"You got that right." The goalkeeper said.


'My stamina and energy have fallen so low.'


"You're really fast Dave, you weren't that fast last time, it's like you're getting better every single day." The winger said.


Dave stared at him for a while before replying.


"I've been working hard to improve every day and I'm glad that I'm getting results although it isn't exactly as you just put it now." He replied.


"Yeah, it may not be exactly as I put it but still, you're improving rapidly, it's something that seems impossible but you're doing it." The winger said. 


"Yeah, I guess so but I think anybody can do it."


<Yeah, but the person won't get all the skills and power-ups that you have now>
