Chapter 3

Afternoon

It was April. The weather was disturbingly cool. At least for me that why you can see me rushing back into my warm house. After saying my byes to my mates and shouting greetings to the empty house i rush to the room and jump into the bed. Today had been a test in patience for Bernard as he had refused to succumb to the temptation of fiddling with the system through out the day. As much all the novels make it seem as if nothing happens when you use the system it always better to be safe than sorry. Bernard lay face down on the bed for a while then turn around on the bed took a deep breath and mentally shouted for the system. Am i a telepath now???

The screen soon showed up in front of him in all it glory. The screen was now showing the home page. Bernard still felt that it was unbelievable even though it was right in front of him. How does this work is it due to luck or what? What qualified him for this system and not someone else. Bernard shrugged as he looked at the screen. The screen provided a few options

[Player Overview] contains players information and attributes.

[Achievements] upon completion will reward you with attribute points.

[Shop] no explanation needed.

[Reputation points: 400] currency used for purchasing.

[Storage] purchased items kept here until used. .... do you want to use incentive package?

Oh... almost forgot about that. Yes --- [Ambidextrousity] accept. Ambidextrousity, Bernard started laughing out of sheer disbelief and joy. As a footballer being ambidextrous can only be a good thing as it can help in your versatility. It makes you difficult to read by your opponents since you can pass or shoot with any of your foot. O. Dembele is a good example of an ambidextrous player. Dude is as confused as everyone else if his right foot or his left foot is his dominant one.

[Ambidextrous] accepted. [Begin update ? Now or Midnight]

Huh😲 update.... what, am i a machine or something. Bernard choose the midnight option since it being an option meant the update might take a while or might make him lose awareness.

After getting that out of the way, he turned to the player overview option to check out his attributes.

The attribute page looked just like the one in Football Manager (FM) with the attributes categorised under three main ones

Mental, Technical and Physical

Note:[ attributes can be increased through training.]

Most of the good ratings of attributes fell under Mental and have a balanced ratings for the Physical with acceleration and pace being the highest while strength and stamina are nothing good to see.

Ben, you home yet? Uncle Richard shouted from outside the house. Coming ... Bernard replied as he rushed around the room and picked up his kit for training. Uncle Richard always train with him after he comes back from work. He doesn't enter the house because he claims he will unwind if he enters.

Maybe i should be focus on my technical skills these last two days.
