Chapter 1 - Football saint system

2009

Italy 

Milan 

Inter Milan Youth Academy football pitch 

A young boy, 17 years old, stood in a football pitch He was drenched in sweat. The boy was standing in front of the goal gate, and many soccer balls were scattered in front of him.

The boy name is Augustine Bruno He has a handsome face, black hair, and Asian features.

Augustine is an orphan; his father is Argentinian and his mother is Korean; they both died in car accident in Italy.

Thanks for Augustine`s talent in football, he was scouted by Inter Milan; he joined the Inter Milan football youth academy, and he was provided accommodation, food , and salary by Inter Milan.

Youth Academy staff weren't disappointed with Augustine; his talent was flourishing under their supervision. They were also very impressed by Augustine's self-discipline; they believe that Augustine will be the future that helps Inter Milan raise again.

Currently, Augustine was panting hard on the football pitch when all of a sudden he heard robotic sound in his head {Ding], [Football Saint System is loading 10%, 20%, 40%, 80%, 100%.]

[Congratulations, host Football Saint System had loaded successfully.].

Augustine was confused when he heard this; he thought he was hallucinating but the system said, [No, host, you are not hallucinating; to put it simply, when you died in your previous life, god rewarded you with this system because of all the good deeds you did when you were alive.]

Augustine widened his eyes in shock when he heard this but the system continued, [First, let me introduce you to this system This system is a low-tier system so if you want to gain the utmost benefit from this system, you will need to continue upgrading this system to get different features in the future.]

[To upgrade this system, you will need to earn football coins FBC is the system's virtual currency You can use the FBC to buy many things that will benefit you from the system's shop You can check the system's shop by pressing on the shop tag in the home panel later.]

A blue screen appeared in front of Augustine. There were three main tags on the screen; those tags were basic status, shop, and current modules.

Augustine realized that the shop tag is what the system was talking about just now.

The system then started explaining [first, I will start explaining the system panel; the blue screen in front of you is called the home panel; you only need to use your own thoughts to operate the system.]

Augustine nodded his head in understanding; he used his thoughts and chose to view the basic status tag first.

Augustine was surprised when he saw his detailed rating of his football skills in the blue screen, then he heard the system's robotic voice: [What you see in front of you is your current football skills rating There are multiple ways you can improve your football skills rating, like training, mastering football skills, gaining football players modules, using points cards, gaining various talents, and many more Please check the system's shop so you can know the different ways you can improve as football player by using this system.]

Augustine was confused and asked, "Wait a second, I understood what you meant by training and mastering football skills, but what do you mean by football players modules and points cards? Also, how can I gain talents? Talents are supposed to be predetermined when someone is born; nobody can gain talents later on in life."

After hearing Augustine 's question, the system started explaining to him, [When you win trophies and honors in football competitions, the system will reward you with different treasure chests.]

[Depending on the difficulties of the competitions, the rarer the treasure chests you will rewarded.]

[Sometimes these treasure chests contains points cards These cards can raise the points of one of your football skills attributes but the points it raise vary depending on the cards types.]

[There are five points cards currently this system can reward you with, and these types are ordinary points cards, bronze points cards, silver points cards, gold points cards, and diamond points cards.]

[The ordinary points cards can raise your attribute points by five points, bronze points card can raise your attribute points by 10 point, silver points card can raise your attribute points by 15 points, gold points card can raise attribute points by 20 points, and diamond points card can raise attribute points by 25 points.]

Augustine's eyes widened in shock His heart started beating faster in excitement but quickly calm down and thought, "I am happy I gained this system but I shouldn't depend on it to improve; I should train hard to improve."

The System then said, [In normal circumstances, you are right about talents being pre determined when someone is born but this system can reward you with different talents.]

[The talents had their own ranks: these ranks are, ordinary talent, good talent, excellent talent, and top talent.]

[Also, talents had their own types: plain, bronze, silver, gold, and diamond.]

[One last thing, you can evolve your talent by merging two same talents but with different ranks to get a higher-ranking talent.]

Augustine was shocked when he heard this and thought, "Incredible, this system is so amazing, and currently this system is a low-tier system. What kind of benefits will I gain if I upgrade this system?"

Augustine smirked when he thought of this and asked the system, "I have a question, how can I upgrade this system?"

 [To upgrade the system for the first time, you will need to pay 1000 FBC.] The system answered Augustine's question.

Augustine was speechless when he heard this, and then he sighed, "Nothing in this world is free if I wasn't talented in football. I will be homeless by now and begging for money in Milan in order for me to survive," he thought to himself.

He then asked the system, "How can I earn FBC?"

[There are multiple ways for you to earn FBC The first way is by gaining treasure chests from the system, the second way is by participating in professional football competitions, scoring goals and creating assists In these competitions for every goal you score and every assist you create, you will get 1 FBC.] 

[Lastly, you can sell the items that you had received from the treasure chests that the system rewarded you with.]

Augustine nodded his head in understanding, then the system said to him, [now I will explain to you about modules There are many football players modules the system can provide you, from ordinary football players to football stars modules.]

{You can receive full football players modules or partial football players modules; it depends on luck]

[The difference between these two is that the full football player modules have all the football skills ratings of a specific player. If you upload a full football player module in the system, you will gain the module owner's full football skills ratings attributes. Right now, you can upload only three modules, whether it is full football player modules or partial football player modules if you want to upload more modules, you will need to upgrade the system.] 

Augustine mouth wide open in shock at what he just heard but the system continue, [in the future, when the system is upgraded, you can upload more modules if you want.]

Augustine nodded in understanding, and the system said, [A partial football player module is a module of a specific player that contains one attribute ratings of the football skills of a player, like passing or shooting.]

Augustine smiled and said to the system, "I understand system."

[Good, the modules also had types like the points cards and they are divided into five types; those types are ordinary modules, bronze modules, silver modules, gold modules, and diamond modules.] The system explained to Augustine.

Augustine nodded his head, then the system continued, [there are only one thing left for me explain to you before you can receive your starter package and this thing is football skills.]

Augustine was confused, and the system continued explaining, [You can gain a variety of football skills from the treasure chests or from the system's shop, but you need to train to master them. These skills have types too; those types are ordinary, bronze, silver, gold, and diamond.]

Augustine smiled and nodded his head in understanding suddenly He saw a large words on the system panel written in black, "starter package," and he heard the system saying, [congratulation host, you received the starter package Use your thoughts to open the package.]

Augustine then used his thoughts to open the starter package Suddenly, gold and white light shone brightly in the system's home panel for a second, then Augustine widened his eyes when he saw what appeared in front of him.

[Congratulation Host, you received diamond points card, Lukaku scoring talent, and Batistuta shooting module.]

{In order to upload the module in the system to gain Batistuta shooting skills, you need to enter the module section by pressing in the module tag in the home panel first, then add the module there.]

Augustine nodded his head. He then used his thought to choose the module tag, and he found he can only add three modules, just like what the system told him when it was explaining to him about the modules. He then added the Batistuta shooting module.

Augustine felt a warm sensation in his two legs, then he heard the system say, [Congratulation, host, your shot power points increased from 70 to 97 points. Your long shot points increased from 66 to 90 points, your volley points increased from 66 to 95 and your finishing points increased from 77 to 96 points.]

The system then said to Augustine, [Host, please use your thought to press the white coins you see in front of you. These coins are the football coins you have earned from the starter package.]

Augustine smiled and nodded. He then did what the system asked him to do. [Congratulation, host, you earned 100 football coins. the gold desk you see in the panel is Lukaku scoring talent Use your thought to to press on it.]

Augustine did what the system instructed him to do, then he saw a notification in the home panel after he pressed on the golden desk, [Would you like to merge Lukaku's scoring talent, with your own scoring talent, yes or no?"

Augustine smiled widely when he saw the notification. He quickly used his thoughts and pressed yes. He suddenly heard the system voice in his head again. [Host, since your scoring talent is good and Lukaku's scoring talent is excellent, your scoring talent rank will evolve to top rank.]

Augustine heard a loud sound in his head: 'WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH.'

At the same time, he felt a warm sensation in his head, for a few seconds, and he then heard the system's robotic voice say, [Congratulation host, your scoring talent had evolved from good rank to top rank.].

Carl smiled happily when he heard this, He then saw a diamond card in the system's home panel written in the card, "diamond points card." He quickly and without hesitation used his thought pressed on the diamond points card,

After Augustine pressed on the diamond points card, he saw a notification in the system's home panel: "Please choose which attribute you want to increase using the diamond points card."

Augustine started thinking about which attribute he should increase. He looked at his current ratings and thought, "My shooting attributes had increased tremendously thanks to Batistuta shooting module. It is best to use the diamond points card on an attribute that complements shooting attributes." 

He then smiled widely when his eyes landed on his strength attribute and thought, "that's it I will use the diamond points card on my strength attribute My shooting and volley power will increase tremendously, thanks for my increased strength after using the diamond points card Also, my strength confrontation will improve drastically after I increase my strength attribute, which is very important to a central forward like me." 

After making up his mind, Augustine used his thought to choose his strength attribute to increase it By using the diamond points card, he suddenly felt warm sensation in every part of his body for a few seconds He then heard the system's robotic voice in his head. [Congratulation, host, your strength attribute had increased by 25 points, your strength attribute is now 96 points.]

Lastly, Augustine used his thoughts again and clicked at a diamond in the home panel.

Suddenly, a bright light shone when he clicked on the diamond using his own thoughts, then information rushed to his brain; his eyes widened in surprise. "I can't believe it this is Brazilian Ronaldo's stepover dribbling skill," he thought to himself.

 The system then said to Augustine, [Host when you sign your first professional contract, you are going to receive your first treasure chest, Good luck on your journey.]

After saying this to Augustine, the system voice died down.

Augustine smiled after hearing this; he closed the system's home panel and then he started training Ronaldo's stepover dribbling skill.
