After three hours of thinking Kay could identify two primary choices.
The first involved transitioning away from football into other fields, perhaps pursuing office work.
Given his youth, this option allowed him the possibility of swapping careers.
On the other hand, the second choice involved staying in the football realm.
However, within this option, he recognized only two viable paths: participating in disability football or embarking on a career as a manager.
Kay swiftly ruled out every option except football. From his early days, he had been a football enthusiast, breathing the sport.
Throughout his journey home, he dedicated his thoughts to weighing the pros and cons of each potential career move.
Upon reaching home, Kay had already made a decision about his next career step.
Initially considering disability football, he realized that this option might not lead him to superstardom, given the limited interest in the sport compared to traditional football.
Consequently, he shifted his focus to the second option: becoming a football coach.
Reflecting on the current landscape, he acknowledged that although managers don't always take the spotlight, there are cases, like with Man City, where the manager becomes the star.
This realization opened a new possibility for him.
So, Kay made his decision, it’s true that in this road he will face a lot of difficulties, but he will resist and success and make his parents proud of him.
Kay had always been stubborn from childhood, driven to achieve his goals by any means necessary.
This determination had propelled him to become a prominent player, and perhaps it could also lay the groundwork for him to become a successful coach.
Three months later.
As Kay sat with his parents in the living room, contemplating how to embark on his new coaching journey, he realized that the reality was more challenging than he had initially thought.
Facing constraints due to his background, including not having a long football career like other managers and being disabled, Kay pondered the obstacles ahead.
During this contemplation, a large blue holographic window suddenly appeared before him, displaying the words.
---
Congratulations, you have been chosen for your resilience to host the fifth system.
---
Kay was shocked and stood up, alarmed by the sight before him.
It resembled scenes from novels where the hero goes to another world and gains a system, like a cheat, in his new world.
However, Kay was still in his own world.
His parents noticed his reaction and exchanged glances, asking, "What's wrong, Kay? Did something upset you?"
Realizing that his parents couldn't see the holographic window in front of him, Kay replied, "Nothing, don’t worry. I just want to go to my room to rest a bit; I feel a little tired.”
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Kay, aware of his parents' watchful eyes, refrained from examining the window. "I'm going to my room," he announced, hoping to avoid any suspicion.
His mother, concerned, inquired, "Is everything alright?”
"I'm fine, just a bit tired. I need some rest," he reassured her, before making his way to his room.
"Would you like some help getting to your room?" Kay's father offered.
"No, I'm used to using my sticks," Kay replied as he made his way to his room with the aid of the two sticks.
Kay headed to his room, lay on his bed, and began to contemplate the holographic window before him.
He attempted to explore more about this system, but there was nothing around him except a question written in the middle of the screen:
"Do you agree to become a host for the fifth system and face its challenges?"
When Kay saw that unrealistic view, he forgot about all the ideas filling his head and gained a new hope in pursuing his journey as a player, reminiscent of former days.
From what he had read and heard in novels, systems could realize prodigies.
In that moment, Kay realized he had a chance to reach the top again. Eager to resume his football journey, he said "Yes !" without hesitation, hoping to regain his former glory.
He had nothing to lose, recalling a novel where the main character, like him, regained hope with a system that changed her life by 180 degrees.
After Kay's affirmative response, the system promptly replied with a message: "This system is designed to assist its owner in becoming the best manager on Earth."
Despite initially hoping for a miraculous solution to his lost foot, as often portrayed in comics, Kay felt a twinge of disappointment.
He couldn't help but laugh at his own unreasonable expectation.
Just moments ago, he was grappling with the daunting task of starting his coaching journey, and now, he found himself yearning for more. It dawned on him that humans are inherently greedy.
Indeed, the prospect of becoming the best reignited a familiar spark within Kay, dispelling any lingering doubts about his decision. Since his youth, he had harbored ambitions of excelling in every endeavor.
With the system's promise of assistance, Kay felt enthusiastic and ready to embark on his coaching journey with renewed determination and optimism.
While Kay was thinking on dreams about future the system suddenly presented him with a message :
---
Typically, the system assigns you various tasks to be completed along the journey. However, for now, there are only two tasks you must complete to activate your system.
* Enrolling in a coaching school
* Reading coaching books
Once these two tasks are completed, your system will be partially activated. Rest assured, the system holds great potential, but it's all up to you to unlock its full capabilities.
---
Kay took his time absorbing the message from the system, realizing it provided answers to the questions swirling in his head about how to commence his journey.
After a period of thinking he analyzed the first task and came to the realization that it's not a fantasy world but rather a tool to aid him in learning.
To truly grasp the principles of coaching, he understood the importance of enrolling in a coaching school and not relying solely on the system for magical solutions.
He resolved to use the system wisely, understanding that it wasn't a shortcut to becoming a master manager overnight.
Instead, he acknowledged the need to put in effort and dedication to achieve his dreams in coaching.
As Kay turned his attention to the second task, he pondered the origins of the required books. Were these books authored by the same company that created the system, or were they simply ordinary books available in the market? These questions swirled in his mind until the system promptly provided an answer:
---
These books would be provided by the system, and you could access them whenever you wish.
---
When he saw the message, he thought ‘Now how could I have those books’.
As Kay pondered over how to obtain the books, he was surprised to find them neatly arranged on the table beside him, as if materialized out of thin air.
This revelation made him realize that the system wasn't purely virtual; it had the capability to provide tangible objects. This discovery sparked his curiosity even further, leading him to speculate about the system's hidden secrets.
Kay carefully examined the books, noting their unique covers that stood out from the usual designs. Despite their distinct appearances, the materials used for the books were standard.
There were four books in total, three of them of similar size, while the last one resembled a manual with just a few pages.
Upon picking up the last book, Kay noticed a note inscribed on it: "Keep this one until you finish reading the other ones." With this instruction in mind, he proceeded to pick up the remaining three books.
