The system does not view the host through static traits but through a dynamic Overall Rating that reflects his current standing in the world of football.
Initial Status: Alex Villar starts with an OVR of 51/100.
Ranking: [The Benchwarmer / Pitch Trash].
Growth Mechanism: The OVR increases through rigorous physical training (natural growth) or by allocating Attribute Points earned from completing system missions
Glory Points are the primary currency of the system.
Earning GP: Credits are awarded for scoring goals, providing assists in official matches, winning "Man of the Match" titles, and completing "Emergency Scenarios."
The Legend Shop: GP can be spent to purchase Skill Cards, permanent physical buffs, or Recovery Potions to heal injuries instantly.
Skills are divided into tiers based on their complexity and the physical strain they place on the body:
Tier [E - D] (Basic): Fundamentals such as short passing and ball control.
Tier [C - B] (Professional): Advanced techniques like "Knuckleball" shots or "Tiki-Taka" vision.
Tier [A - S] (Legendary): Iconic abilities of football icons (e.g., Messi's Dribbling, Ronaldo's Power, Zidane's Elegance).
Constraint: Attempting to activate a Tier S skill with a low OVR (below 60) results in a High Injury Risk due to muscle strain
To compensate for his weak physical state, Alex possesses a unique trait called Tactical Eye, powered by his 30-year-old veteran mind:
Visual Overlay: Alex can see passing lanes, defensive gaps, and player trajectories as glowing lines on the pitch.
Cost: Excessive use of this feature drains Mental Stamina, leading to severe migraines or loss of focus during the late stages of a match.
Since Alex starts with "Trash" physical stats (Strength 35, Stamina 38), the system provides two paths for evolution:
Daily Quests: Mandatory physical tasks (e.g., 100 Push-ups, 10km Run) that grant small, permanent stat boosts.
Stat Caps: Unlike normal humans, Alex's potential is unlocked. As long as he has the GP and the will, his ceiling is non-existent.
[System Note]: "The System is not a miracle; it is a blueprint. The host provides the sweat; the system provides the path. Failure to meet the growth curve will result in the termination of the Second Chance protocol."
My goal in writing this novel is to fulfill a lost dream of mine. When I was young, I was so good at football that one of the famous clubs in my city invited me to join. After much effort and hard work, in my seventh match with the club, one of the opposing defenders tackled me violently. The tackle still hurts to this day, and I stopped playing football for a year and three months. When I returned to football, I wasn't good enough and decided to retire. Now I'm trying to fulfill this dream by writing something similar.
