My Goalkeeping System

Franklin_Nwakamma
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.

I couldn't help but notice the cold, detached tone as he spoke—like I was nothing more than a transaction. "In exchange... to be my mistress," he finished, his words hanging in the air. I gave a low, almost dismissive laugh. "Of course. I was right all along," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "You know what?" I arched an eyebrow, snapping my fingers right in front of his face with a quick motion. "Why don't you leave me alone and go find someone your own age?" He tilted his head slightly, a sly smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "So it's about the age, huh?" He raised an eyebrow in return, but I saw the flicker of hurt behind his eyes. I shrugged, rolling my eyes dramatically. "Yes. It is."
