"Well, that's just great." Allen Laughed in self mockery.
It was pouring outside and his teammates were all still inside but he just wanted to get as far away as possible.
After exiting the stadium, he walked for a while before stopping.
He just stood there as the rain washed over him, drenching his body.
Although just recently promoted he had been looking forward to champions League football next season.
However, because of him that dream went out the window. He wasn't the only one looking forward to it, the whole team was, it was supposed to be their first time in the champions league after so many years. But because of one own goal, that spot was now Chelsea's for the taking.
Biting his lower lip, Allen looked up and let out a sigh.
"It would be really nice to get struck by lightning right now."
He didn't expect the heavens to actually answer his halfhearted prayer as a bolt of lightning descended on him at that moment.
Hours later, Allen woke up at the hospital with an unexpected message in front of him.
[ Hello, Allen ]
[ Your Pace System is now online ]
[ Gathering statistical information ]
"What the hell is going on?"

Note: While this is a system novel, the system does not grant Allen any exaggerated form of advantage except for the ability to develop a bit faster as he can physically see his growth while knowing what to focus on.
