God Of football Chapter 3: He’s all that
Previously on God Of football...
The subsequent day dawned early for Izan, who prepared his own breakfast before making his way to a nearby football pitch.
He was eager to gauge the impact of his enhanced stats on his gameplay. It was precisely 6:13 AM upon his arrival.
Upon reaching the pitch, Izan changed by the sidelines and then stepped onto the field. He uttered "system," and the familiar translucent screen materialized once more.
The system's voice then resonated:
"The user doesn't need to speak aloud constantly, as that could lead to misunderstandings. Instead, a host should communicate telepathically, for the system can perceive your thoughts."
"Oh, it is a bit disconcerting that you can read all my thoughts, but very well. Also, isn't it a tad peculiar to always refer to you as 'system'?" Izan inquired. "[That is the user's prerogative]," the system responded.
"Well, alright, I shall call you Max then," Izan declared. At that instant, the system adopted a masculine voice, one that struck Izan as strangely familiar.
"System, why this particular voice?" Izan questioned. The system replied, "[It was a familiar voice I detected within your subconscious, so I adopted it. If the host dislikes it, I can alter it.]"
"No, it's quite alright," Izan replied, a hint of sadness in his smile. "Very well, Max, what position would best allow me to utilize my talents?" Izan asked.
"[Considering your attributes, such as speed and crossing ability, you could transition into a winger role. Alternatively, with your sharp vision and decent ball control, you could also opt for a more stable central midfield position.
In my assessment, it would be most advantageous not to confine yourself to a single role, as modern teams and coaches value versatility. Therefore, I would advise you to aim for a wing forward/attacking midfielder hybrid position]," the system advised.
"Understood, but how precisely do I achieve that?" Izan inquired. Max responded, "[The system will assign daily tasks and issue match quests along with seasonal quests at the commencement of each match or season.
The system will present specific challenges based on your circumstances and also adapt to various situations, such as an injury that might necessitate sitting out a season. However, with the injury fluid, such an occurrence is highly improbable]"
"Injury fluid?" Izan asked. "[You will gain access to the system shop once you have upgraded to level two, though certain items may not be available then]"
"How do I acquire these items?" Izan inquired. Max replied, "[By completing tasks and quests, the system will reward you with legend points, which serve as the system's currency. Additionally, some quests will grant stat points for upgrading your attributes.
The currency can also be used to purchase skill moves, with the number of stars your skill move trait possesses determining the available options.
Currently, you possess 4 out of 5 stars for skill moves, meaning you can acquire and learn up to 4-star skill moves.]" Izan nodded, grasping the system's mechanics up to this point.
"[The user need not worry, as you will eventually become acquainted with the system's other functionalities]," the system stated after perceiving Izan's thoughts. "Very well, then, what precisely do I need to know?" Just then, the blue screen reappeared.
