18 again. I must become god in football

Kai was a white-collar office worker.

He was your average Tom, Dick and Harry.

He spent his life meaninglessly as did the bare minimum that was expected.

Everyday he worked, ate, and slept.

But unlike his peers, Kai had a secret that he never shared with others. —— That he was a crazy about football!

However, on a random day whilst working, Kai fell asleep on the job.

Unbeknownst to Kai, that day would be the beginning of his journey. The restart, and the second chance he was given to pursue his inner desires.

This is the journey of Kai Chiu, as he pursue to be the best Footballer in the World!

~~~

'But....'

'Just like that.'

'I travelled back in time?'

Kai was confused. He fell asleep during work. When he woke up, he found himself in the middle of nowhere? Kai looked around, he recognised the football pitches and the people that are surrounding him. He was in the middle of a football match!

The protagonist checked his body. He was shocked as he found himself without any wrinkled skin. Kai was a 50 year old bachelor before he transmigrated. Now, he is back to the day he turned 18.

Kai searched through his memories. If his brain remembered correctly, today was the day that he would play his first game for his local club.

But Kai was nothing more than a kid that was on trial. Kai was not under contract with the club, but thanks to his repeated begging and hassling the club officials, the youth team manager took pity on him and decided to offer him a one-week tryout.

The meaning behind the youth team manager's action was simple: If you have the skills, play with us. If not, get out of our sight!

In his past life, despite Kai trying his hardest to leave a good impression on the coaches. In the end, the club believed he was too horrible of a footballer to be given a chance.

But now that Kai has transmigrated to the past. This must be a divine signal. The heavens are giving Kai another chance at being a professional footballer! Kai dreamed of being a star. He loved football above all else.

He was only 5 when Kai kicked his first football. He was only 7 when he fell in love with the beautiful game. By the time he became a teenager, Kai was addictively following every top European team. Kai always watched football videos of the best players in the world.

Messi, Ronaldo, Salah, Lewandowski.

Kai loved those footballers to death. If someone dare say they were XXX's biggest fan, Kai would fight them just to prove they were wrong, and that he was actually XXX's biggest fan.

But Kai was disappointed. Even though he had transmigrated to the past, he didn't think he could change fate.

The fact of the matter is, Kai was horrible at Football! Even though he had passion, Kai just didn't have the natural talent to compete with the other youngsters. Would this transmigration be nothing more than an insult?

[ Requirement Fulfilled ]

A voice suddenly spoke in Kai head. He was confused, bewildered at what was happening.

[ Host Recognised ]

[ Assimilation Successful ]

Kai was making sense of what was happening. He was an avid webnovel reader in his past life. He had transmigrated to the past, he was always confused, questioning if he would get a golden finger.

But he couldn't quite believe that a system would actually be given to him. Kai was excited, jumping up and down.

[ Welcome to the Football System ]

[ Activate? ]

[ Yes/No ]

There was no hesitance in Kai as he whispered to himself. 'Activate System'

[ Football System online ]

[ To celebrate this moment, a welcoming gift would be awarded to host ]

[ Do you wish to collect Gift x1 ]

[ Yes/No ]

Kai was relieved that the system had finally finish downloading. He had high expectations for what the [ Football System ] could do. Huh, there's a Gift?

The teenager was overjoyed as he immediately said 'Yes' in his head to collect system's generosity.

[ Opening Gift x1 ]

What would it be? Kai eyed the system with a silly look on his face as he imagined what he might receive. Ability? Cheats? Secret training methods?

[ 100 Player Points, Lucky Draw x1, and Skill Mastery x1 is added to inventory ]

What's this? Player Points? Lucky Draw? Skill Mastery?

Kai was delighted, yet uncertain at what the system has gifted him. The teenager questioned what was the use of [ Player Points ]. But the instant Kai had this question, the System replied to him.

[ Host ]

[ Players Points are rewarded based on Achievements and Performances on the pitch. You get Player Points if you win a game, assist, or even score a goal ]

'Damn.' Kai realised the meaning from the system. As long as he is playing matches and performing well, then he would receive a lot of points, which could be used for... 'Wait. What can I use Player Points on?'

[ You can spend Points in the System Shop ]

Kai immediately checked if there was a System Shop. And just like it declared. A shop menu appeared in front of him. Kai curiously scrolled through the shop menu. He was checking what he can purchase with the 100 Player Points the system has gifted him.

But to his disappointment, Kai realised that the 100 Players Points couldn't purchase anything at all. The cheapest item in the shop was a [ Recovery Potion]. Kai suspected the potion might help him recovery from an injury, or refill his fatigue. But the potion's price of 300 Player Points made it too expensive for him to purchase.

Kai scrolled further down the shop menu. The prices absolutely astonished him.

'What the heck. My system is so cheap!'

[ . . . ]

Shaking his head, Kai focused on the second award that was given by the system. This time, a detailed description appeared before him.

[ Lucky Draw! ]

[ Try your luck at the Football System Slots Machine. You can be awarded handsomely if you are lucky. ]

[ Warning! ]

[ System does not support gambling of any kind ]

[ Proceed with caution. ]

After reading that, Kai wasn't so sure about spending the 200 Player Points for a Lucky Draw. But... he wanted to have some fun. Just for this once. The system has kindly gifted him a free Lucky Draw, it would be a shame if he doesn't try his luck.

Suddenly, the system interface turned into a slots machine. Next to the interface, there was a small lever. Knowning what he should be doing, Kai pulled the lever as he watched hopefully at the slots machine.

[ Congratulation! ]

[ You have won a pair of stinky socks. ]

[ You are so lucky, Host. ]

Kai gazed in astonishment as he read the words that appeared above him. He wished to curse the system. Because it was clear that the System is doing this on purpose. Just because he said the system is a money pincher he awarded him a pair of dirty socks!

'The system is doing this on purpose. I must treat the system nicely from todays onwards.'

Kai sighed as he dejectedly focused on the third item that was part of the gift. Hmm? Skill Mastery? This sounds promising. Kai diligently read the description the system has given him.

[ Skill Mastery ]

[ Aquire a random skill from any footballer in the world, past, present or future ]

[ A random skill from selected player would be transferred to host. ]

[ Would you like to use Skill Mastery? ]

Kai had his eyes popped out as he read what the system has told him. Anyone? He can instantly learn a skill from any footballer in the world? He couldn't believe it, this [ Skill Mastery ] could turn him into a football god if he acquired a skill from all the best footballers.

Kai dreamed what would happen if he learned a skill from Ronaldo. Wouldn't he become a goal scoring machine overnight?! What if he learned a skill from Ozil? Wouldn't he become the king of assists?

His breathing quickened as he couldn't contain his excitement.

'Yes System! I was to use Skill Mastery right now, at the instant!'

[ Host ]

[ Please choose a footballer to learn from ]

'I have been waiting for this opportunity ever since I transmigrated!' Kai quietly spoke in his head as he continued to read the information the system has given him.

'Wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful. Who should I choose from.' Kai's excitement boiled down as he started to critically decide on this opportunity.

Kai couldn't just randomly choose a player to learn a skill from. This concerns himself, this concerns his future. This skill that he acquire would shape the very future of his career.

He has to choose wisely.
