All my stats have indeed been reset to 10, well I don't think I was very much higher anyway since I've barely ever played in the past cause of my illness.
My father is the coach of a very big feminine football team so he have always pushed me to try out the sport and I did sometimes but I never showed any actual interest until very recently.
So my stats were no surprise but what was surprising were those 2 special weapons of mine, I already read blue lock so I knew what a special weapon was but I've never heard of any of those.
I tried to click on them and a new screen appeared in front of me.
[Greed:
Rank: Z
Allows the player to grow with no limits and to obtain special weapons and abilities through quests. The quests and rewards will be based on the users ego. ]
[Eyes of the Lord:
Rank: Z
Allows the player to peek at other people's stats and weapons as well as your own stats and weapons.]
Those weren't anything humanly possible... But the world of blue lock isn't very normal either, most characters had super human abilities.
There's no doubt that those 2 skills of mine are what I will mostly rely on from now on so I had to do my best to understand them as best as I can and reveal their true potential.
'Other than showing me my status window what can the system do?'
[The system is the true "special weapon" you have received, it reveals itself in the form of the two special weapons you have received, [Greed] allows the system to generate quests based on the user's greed and generate adequate rewards, while [Eyes of the Lord] is capable of showing you more in depth stats based on the blue lock ranking system.]
'can I take a look at those stats?'

What?? I knew all my football skills were trash since I've never touched a ball in my life so it's not a surprise to see myself at 10 but why are all my physical stats also at 10? Is it cause my body have been modified?
I used to have a sick body but I still trained it as much as I could and took pride in that so it does hurt to see it reset and for me to lose a lot of my physical fitness but as long as I'm able to reach the top I won't be complaining.
------
The next day my father took me with him to the training facilities of the feminine team he was coaching, it wasn't the biggest team of the world but it was still one of the best of Spain.
The equipments here weren't as high tech as what I've seen in the blue lock project but it was still amazingly high tier compared to what I can see in the memories of my old world.
My father allowed me to accompany him and to train in the secondary football field, it was a bit smaller but I had no need for an entire field.
I also had special access to all of the physical training machines, having a father who's a coach is indeed one hell of a privilege.
But even tho I get to have such great privileges I'll still need to put in a lot of work to catch up on all the monsters of blue lock. Though that was never something that scared me, I managed to win many amateur martial art competition with a sick body, a challenge was never something that would stop me.
If anything I was quite excited about the idea of joining that immense project called the blue lock project.
As soon as we arrived I simply took a ball and focused on the feeling of having it around, today's session was very clear for me, I needed to get used to this new body of mine and learn all there is to know about this sport.
School was already very easy for me so putting all my time to football wasn't a difficult thing to do.
But soon enough I noticed the shackles that were holding me back, my stamina was way too horrible, I couldn't even train for 20 minutes before I got extremely tired, even with my sick body I've managed to gather a better stamina than that, I really had a lot of work to put in.
After getting a good idea as to how bad my current skills were I knew that there was no reason to rush it, the system did make it clear that my biggest weapon are the quests but I will not be able to gain any quest unless I have a clear goal in mind and very clear ambitions.
After thinking a bit more I realized what I truly wanted.
'Joining a team' even though I always hated the concept of a team, it was necessary for me to improve and play against other teams.
A notification suddenly appeared in front of my face, It seems like strengthening my revolve was enough to trigger a quest. And not only 1 but actually 3 quests.

It was pretty clear that this system was here to push me into realizing my dream, but even without it I already had my sight set on succeeding and standing at the top so I'll use this system to stand at the top of this world.
