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

The sun was already up in the sky as a brand new day for people to get up and go about their businesses had come up.


While there were people who had gone to take care of the things they had to take care of that day, there were also those who had no particular thing to do for that day.


Mateo was lying on his bed and since there was really nothing for him to do that day, he didn't really feel like getting up.


He wanted to sleep in a little longer but after getting up, he couldn't get himself to fall asleep again so he just lay there with his gaze on the ceiling and a lot of thoughts going through his mind.


He stayed like that for a while without saying anything until his phone which was lying behind him began to ring and vibrate at the same time.


He didn't react to it immediately as he kept his gaze on the ceiling for a few more seconds before he turned to check who was calling him.


"Hmph, it's been a while." He said as soon as he found out who was calling him.
