Chapter 10

Wenton goes back to the initial place he sat on when he entered the woods. He clicks on the task button and the list of tasks appears. He raised his gaze to the instruction above them, he had to choose only one task from among the three and anyone he chooses, he must complete within the next two hours. 

He thinks for a while thinking of the one to choose, he needed to go for something which would be quite easier. As if this system knew, going back to the team base or going to kneel before Iniesta to apologize would be the simplest ones but he is sure to find no one upon driving back. They had lost a vital game, no one, not even the managerial staff would be found. They have all gone home by now to mourn their defeat. Everywhere would just be empty except for the heavily armed security men guarding the base. 

He has no available option other than the third, which is the hardest. About eighty percent of the English fans have voiced their anger on him, calling him many names on social media. If he logs in now on any of the social media, it's his matter that is being discussed everywhere. It's going to be almost impossible to get all of these people or a greater number to give him a second chance. Already they have begun an online protest for the team to terminate his contract. 

His mind tells him that this would be the topic of discussion next time the board of directors of the English Champions sit down to talk, this meeting is scheduled to hold on the coming Thursday. Nothing could be done by him except this to make them not decide to kick him away from the team. 

If this happens, there is no hope again. Imikah had tried his best and with that bad reputation, no club would want him even the smaller new clubs who look for good players to join them, players that would boost their ranking on the table and not ones that would make them lose the little points they have tried hard to gather. 

He looks at the time, it's already twenty minutes, he has one hour, forty minutes to go. If he doesn't do something now, he might be surprised to realize that he would find himself left with only a few minutes. 

First on the go, he clicks on the third option. A live video option pops up on the screen. This is going to be relayed automatically to his social media accounts where fans would be notified and get to watch as he speaks. He has always lacked confidence and in the case of before would end up making people pissed and more annoyed prior to his stammering, a product of nervousness.

He suspects his sudden confidence to emanate from the system which had partially activated and was waiting for a customized activation which would be the final. 

He clicks on the start button. A selfie video of his face displays on the screen with the timing. Normally, it's supposed to be the normal timing of the time duration of the video but here is the remaining time to end the video, based on the time limit he was given. 

He had to start speaking and not let the fans wait. 

"Hello everyone, I'm George Miller Wenton, the new player signed to the English Champions from. The Sporting Stars Academy FC. I'm going to be making my own comment about today's game. It was a disappointment to me and I was a total loser in it. I want to get on my knees now and ask the whole world to forgive me, all the football fans who watched that match. Unseen forces were behind my failure to do well. " 

At this point, he begins to list the numerous remarkable achievements he had made in the past and also adds that they are the main reasons why he was handed over the captaincy of his former club, then all of a sudden, he started going low and low. 

"I've now gotten to know that this was actually leading to a discovery which will change the history of football in me and in general. Who wants to see the result of what I'd stumbled on my verge to end my life? It's the beginning of a new career of unbeatable success. The effects come up from the next match, please stay tuned! I can't disappoint you with the effect of the latest discovery I have made. I'm very sorry for what happened today. Inwardly, I'm glad that I would achieve my destiny. " He brings forth his hands in supplication gesturing to the public to forgive him." 

After this video finishes as about ten million were watching the live version, the topic of discussion changes from how Wenton played the game to what he was referring to in the video. 

"What is the discovery he is talking about?" 

"Football is perfect the way it is, what does he want to change?" 

"I hope it's not something to bring into the match, we don't need any unacceptable item. Wenton, we would love you to play naturally like the other players." 

As he read this particular comment, he liked it. The fan who posted it immediately increased in his likes and followership after he excitedly screenshot the reaction Wenton gave to his comment alone among others. He, himself, notices this and wonders if people had begun to like him that they were following a fan just because of his slight reaction. 

"Have I been able to win the hearts of many?" He decides to post the question below the video footage. In less than a minute, floods of reaction had already started coming, a greater percentage 'yes', Wenton  jumped up, and couldn't contend his joy at the moment. 

His watch begins to make some changes, he feels some changes going on in his body. Then a sound and light emanates, this time around a virtual fire. It travels to his brain and as it is about to enter, the ding sound comes up. Whenever something like this sounded, the system was about to make some remarkable announcement. 

"The fire player system activated!" 

"With the effective use of this system, George Miller Wenton is set to conquer the whole world like none other in the aspect of football." 

"Get reader for a sophisticated upgrade." 

"Upgrade to begin in the next twenty minutes. You will never incur torture  the same back again!"
