THE KING OF PEDAL
...
...
...
(Geneva, switzerland㊙️...In the apartment of Willian).
willian slowly opened his eyes, groggily taking in his surroundings lying on the floor of his apartment. He was trying to process what happened to him .While struggling to sit up,a sharp pain shot though his head making him wince .
"…what happened" he muttered to himself still trying to figure out why he lost consciousness suddenly.
without warning, a robotic voice spoke to him from an unknown source the same that he heard before fainting.
[🤖 welcome willian, you have activated the system "the king of pedal" . Do you want to process with the final download ? ] .
Willian looked around confused trying to locate the source of the voice.
"What system ?, what are you talking about ?" he asked still disoriented. "Did I finally awaken my cheat...so does novels said the truth ?"😖 he said with melancholy and a mix of frustration accumulated during those two years. The mechanical voice spoke again.
[🤖 Do you want to process with the final download ? please confirm ]
Willian came back to his senses and said "Oh ! sorry sorry...yes please initiate the final download". He felt a slight pain in his head that disappeared instantly. an holographic interface appeared in front of him
[🤖 Congratulations for successfully integrating the system... the name of the system is "the king of pedal" that will assist you in your quest to the pinnacle of road cycling. the system grant you and access to menus like "stats","shop","physical state".]
Willian widened his eyes in shock😳 "Road cycling ? it is .... woah....it is amazing. cycling is my passion, I don't how feel" . Willian is covered with joy, cycling was his passion in his past life and he always dreamed to participate in those legendary races and in this new life and the help of the system he can finally realize that dream.
willian take some minutes to accept this 180° turn in his life . Finally he speaks again "system open "stats" and explains it functions please". Another holographic interface appears in front of him

Willian is now in front of a very complicated situation he didn't think about what kind of cyclist he wanted to become. In one hand he want's to experiment the speed and the tension in a duel between sprinters. and in the other hand he want to win more prestigious races like "the Giro", "the vuelta", and "the tour de France" . willian sits on the couch and thinks with his eyes closed. Suddenly he opens them and ask the system "system if I choose a speciality does that mean i will be mediocre in others ?".
[🤖 No Willian but some stats will be impossible to go up when the attain a certain level. For example if you choose to become a sprinter you will not be able to compete in mountainous stages or races ]
"I see ..." muttered willian going back into though.
Finally Willian make a decision " system I choose to become a climber....if I want to become a big legend I have to win important races".
[🤖 Choice validated. this is the updated stats interface .

Willian read attentively and then sighs "sigh ! those items are really expensive...I think that I will not buy anything for now...Not like I can afford anything there. I will put all my energy in improving my physique" some doubt's began to appear in willian mind "but how can I be sure that a team will spot and recruit me ? cycling is predominantly white and all .... I am not sure" .

Willian see a pack of cash appearing from nowhere "Holly shit ! what the fuck ! ....That is something else. Thank you for that system . I will use that money wisely" . Willian close the system am look at the clock in the wall and see 2:27 PM " How is that even possible man !, when I fainted it should have been about 7 AM...
