“Who is the football GOAT?” A question that has been asked countless times in the last decade. Is it Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? To be fair, the question actually depended on what one wanted from a player as they were two different people and they played differently from the other.

He wanted to become the Greatest Of All Legends… the GOAL. Unfortunately, fate has never cared about people’s hopes and dreams, and just like every other unfortunate human, she hit him hard across the face with a broken reality and sent him flying in another direction from his goal, yet he didn’t give up and continually persevered but, in the end, he didn’t ever make it. He wasn’t even halfway near his goal. He thought it was over… but it wasn’t. He got another chance at his dreams, and this time he was going to do more than his best to achieve his dream. *disclaimer* There is no system or cheats, just plain hard work and a past life of experience.. Also, despite the use of real-life characters, places and things, this is an artistic creation in which things wouldn't be as they are in real life so don't be surprised at some things that are unrealistic and out of place e.g. exact details, attitude of characters etc. This is a slow-paced novel.

One person lent his hand towards her but she didn’t take it. Instead, she stood with no expression at all and with full strength she raised her clenched fist and directly threw a huge blow on Xiu Yuan’s face. The students who gathered clearly saw the ridiculous scene unfold before their eyes. “Miss Wu, you will be sent to Class 12!” said the principal, after the trouble she did. Xiu Yuan and Wu Xiuxin have finally crossed paths once again. But why does she suspiciously want to be part of his group of friends after what she did? Miss Wu, aren't you straight? ‘Cause you look cool, and the way you move and dress isn’t like what a typical girl would," one of Xiu Yuan’s friends remarked. “Is that so? Thank you but I’m straight.” Wu Xiuxin replied. “Miss Wu, do you uhm…” “What?” “D—Do you like girls?” “It’s up to you to think.” "Miss Wu, you can have friends from the other class, but why do you want to be part of a group of boys?" “Because it’s more fun together with boys.” "Miss Wu, I don't think we need to include you in the boys' group. Before you can be part of us, you still have to pass our initiation." “Really, what is it and when?” "We torture people, and only those who survive our bloody initiation will pass." "Sounds great," she replied, her face showing no expression at all. They all looked at each other, dumbfounded by her response. Wu Xiuxin had simply agreed, knowing it was all part of her plan.
