My Goalkeeping TAS System

"Huh? Didn’t I just die? Why am I still in bed?"

Jack bolted upright, his heart pounding. He grabbed his phone from the bedside table.

06:29 AM – 19/05/16

Wait... isn’t this the day I trialed for City Blue?

His mind raced. Did God give him another chance? Or was this like one of those novels where people get a system?

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, a blue screen suddenly materialized in front of him.

[Welcome, Jack, to the TAS System.]

Would you like a tutorial? (Highly recommended)

▶ YES

▶ NO

Without hesitation, Jack selected YES.

The world around him shifted. He now stood in a futuristic, cube-shaped simulation room, surrounded by footballs. A robotic striker stood ahead, poised to attack.

A deep male voice boomed through the space.

"Using the TAS System is quite straightforward. Simply think the commands: 'Frame Forward,' 'Frame Backward,' 'Pause,' or 'Resume.'"

The robot took a shot, sending the ball hurtling toward the top-left corner.

Jack barely had time to react before it hit the net.

"Now, think 'Frame Backward' in your head," the voice instructed.

Jack did as told. Instantly, time rewound—the ball moved backward, returning to the robot’s foot.

This time, Jack knew where it was going. He leaped, stretching his arms wide—and made a spectacular save!

His eyes widened in awe.

Wow… this system is amazing!
