God Of football

Chapter 2: We Up

Izan looked around before looking at the translucent screen in front of him. Izan looked at the screen as he saw it to resemble a particular football video game screen.

Izan saw a shining object in the shape of a gift box and tried to press it but his finger just passed through it.

[ Does the host want to open the starter gift pack] The system spoke.

”Uh- yeah,” Izan replied still not believing what was happening. The system opened the pack and soon words were displayed on the screen:

[BEGINNER STARTER PACK]

+10 stat point to selected attribute

+5 stat point to any 3 selected attributes

+1 star weak foot

+1 star skill moves

”Oh, this is just like Fifa”, Izan exclaimed. Before Izan could explore any further, a car pulled over by the side of the pitch. ”Miura” a feminine voice called.

Izan looked to see his mother in a car. Izan quickly grabbed his stuff and the ball before sprinting towards the car.

He got there and threw his bag in the backseat before sitting in the front seat.

”How was practice, Miura?” Komi izanʼs mom asked. ”It was good, mum,”, Izan said to his mum in Japanese without telling her what had happened today because he felt it would only add to her worries.

Komi moved to Spain when she was 24 years old. She married Izanʼs father at 27 before giving birth to Izan a year later. It had lasted a while before izanʼs father died 5 years after izan was born.

He was a responsible person and had left behind insurance which could be used to take care of Izan and his then 3-year-old sister Hori.

As a single mom komi did whatever she could to make the kids happy and had done a good job so far.

Izan smiled at her as they went home. Izan woke up as the car curved into the driveway.

Eager to try out the system, he quickly picked up some of the groceries along with his bag before heading inside. He placed the groceries on the table before heading upstairs.

Just as he was about to take the last turn to his room, he met his sister, who called him out, telling him about the meeting between him and his teacher, Miss Lauren. He nodded before quickly entering his room.

Hori, Izanʼs sister, got down a bit surprised.”what is wrong with him?” she said.” Why?” Komi Izanʼs mother asked after hearing Hori speak.

”Well, most of the time after training, he feels somewhat dejected,d, but tod, as he seems eager or lively”.

Komi stared at the stairs for a while before asking Hori to help her with dinner. Izan shut the door behind him.

He first entered the bathroom and washed down first. After he finished, he sat on his bed with his legs crossed before he said, ”System”.

[Yes host] the system replied after a short while. ”Can I see my stats?” izan said to which the system replied by showing his stats in a FIFA-like game screen with his information attached

”Wow,” Izan exclaimed. ”Apart from speed and stamina, which are somewhat good for my age, and a few attributes that are decent, the rest are absolute garbage to the point that I canʼt even imagine how I wanted to be a pro player”.

Izan saw his strength stat and started to wonder if being a left-back was a good position for him.

Although he knew there were fullbacks not good at defence, they could at least create chances, but he didnʼt have anything going for him.

Izan decided to distribute his stat points. For the +10 stat point, he decided to use it on Dribbling, which raised it from a 55 to a 65.

He also had to select 3 attributes, which he selected: Vision, Crossing and ball control, which increased to 62,60 and 60.

After this, he used the +1 star weak foot and skill move, which also increased to 3/5 star weak foot and 4/5 star skill moves. After this izan attributes were looking a bit good.

Izan saw that his player rating had gone from 53 to 57. Izan was elated. Izan saw that a new information had come under his player info, which was the potential category, which describes the ability a player can reach.

”System, can you elaborate on the potential category?” Izan said.

POTENTIAL

This describes the football ability a player can reach

70-74 potential=mediocre players

”Miura comes down for dinner”, Komi said, bringing Izan back from his monologue. ʼOK mum,” Izan replied before going down to eat.
