"Amazing! Ladies and gentlemen! We are witnessing the birth of a talent! Two goals, on his professional debut. What a player!"
The commentator yelled through the television, yet voice failed to beat Theo's shouts. Sfiso just sat down watching in shock.
How on earth did he... Score two goals on his debut?
***
Isaac felt euphoric.
He struggled to comprehend what he was experiencing, and he was instead detached from reality. His teammates embraces, the crowds shouts, the white and blue that filled the stadium. It was all incomprehensive to him.
Than it all came to him. It hit him all at once, forcing him to absorb it all.
He weathered the praises of his teammates, and absorbed the joyful cheers of the crowd. It was amazing.
Soon, play restarted. Thereafter, nothing much happened. The game continued, and nothing much happened. The moment the whistle blew, Isaac threw his hands in the air.
"What a performance on my professional debut! I love this system!"
Wait... This was a good performance. Does that mean he'd gotten all of those brilliant rewards?
Even if he wanted to know, he had to wait. His teammates had lifted him into the air, and where cheering for him. Though they didn't lift him that high, Isaac felt like he was in the clouds.
The celebrations continued until it was time to leave. His coach, DE Zerbi, had praised him uncontrollably and he told him he was confident that Isaac could be the next great if he worked hard enough.
Isaac believed it.
He did want to start working as hard as he could but he had to wait until he settled down. That'd probably be after he got his loan. For now...
Isaac finally found a chance to open his system. This was when he was sitting in the Bus, on his way back to the team hotel.

Isaac opened the card.

ATTRIBUTE: MASTER PASSER
[DOES PLAYER WISH TO ACTIVATE CARD?]
[YES/NO]
"Yes!" Isaac was trying his best not to shout out with excitement. To be honest with himself, he didn't like playing out of position, but as long as he was playing, he didn't mind.
"Alright...now how to use this... " Isaac checked the level up cards. They were green, with an addition sign at the center.
"I guess it will raise my card by one level..." he decided to do that later. First...
BONUS REWARD: SILVER CARD

Isaac opened it, but he felt his chest burst with joy. Because on the card, was a 60s looking guy, with long hair.
CARD LEVEL: SILVER
PLAYER: GERD MULLER
ATTRIBUTE: ATTACKING INSTINCT
[DOES PLAYER WISH TO ACTIVATE CARD?]
[YES/NO]
Isaac took a deep breath in to calm himself, before open the card. Immediately, he felt different. Almost like he could go out and pickup any girl. He wouldn't miss, after all.
Isaac opened his personal tab, and looked at all his active cards.
"Speed, defense, ball skills, strength, shooting, passing, and attacking instinct." Isaac mumbled to himself. His best card was his shooting at platinum, next his passing and ball skills at gold, that his strength, defense and attacking instinct at silver. Lastly was his speed at bronze.
His speed was terrible, he needed to improve it.
Isaac immediately tried to use the level up cards.
WHICH CARDS DOES THE USER WISH TO LEVEL UP?
"Speed." Isaac quickly chose, and he watched as the card changed from bronze to silver. When he checked his card, he was pleased at what he saw.
CARD LEVEL: SILVER
PLAYER: THIERRY HENRY
ATTRIBUTE: UNFATHOMABLE SPEED
"Nice..." Isaac went on to raise his speed to gold before wondering what he could raise next.
"I will be playing football at a high stage, so I should have at least two silver cards." Could he raise his passing? Not really, he wouldn't raise his name enough by just being a good passer. Goals would get him recognized. What about his attacking instinct...he was playing in midfield so he wouldn't use it enough.
So...should he raise his shooting to the next level? No...he needed to balance his abilities. The only attribute that would help him do both scoring goals, and dominating in midfield was...
"Jay Jay Okocha's ball skills."
~~~
"Is that the player you acquired?" A wide-eyed girl asked. Her green eyes were widened with curiosity, and her curly flame like hair danced as she ecstatically sat up from the couch.
"Yeah, your brother is amazing, isn't he?" A man chuckled, scratching his jaw. To be honest, he didn't expect the boy to be that good.
"Ohh...he's quite handsome."
"What did you say?" David wood asked, half paying attention. He was busy washing dishes.
"Nothing!"
"Oh, how's your book going? I hear you've signed a professional contract."
"It's going pretty well, though I'm having writers block at the moment."
"Ohh, I see." Said David as he dried his hands with a towel. "Whats that?"
"Ah... Forget it." the girl rolled her eyes before returning her gaze to the television where the highlights of the game played. She watched as a bullet-like shot smashed into the net.
"Wow, well he's quite good."
