Kuala Lumpur, 2025. Rain tapped against the window like a warning.
Azim scrolled through his phone with half-lidded eyes, his Liverpool blanket wrapped around him. It was past midnight, and he should've been asleep. But the buzzing in his chest wouldn't stop—the same itch he'd had since Liverpool's glory days started to fade again.
He refreshed X.
Then he saw it.
"BREAKING: Trent Alexander-Arnold in Talks with Real Madrid"Sky Sports, 12 mins ago
The headline pierced through his chest like a dagger.
"What…?" His voice cracked. He sat upright in bed, heart pounding. He stared at the screen, rereading it over and over, hoping it was a fake post. But the replies—so many replies—confirmed it.
"Bro I can't believe he's actually leaving""He's our captain, our soul. This can't be real.""FSG OUT. No way they let this happen."
Azim's thumb trembled. His mind spiraled. Trent. The Scouser in the team. The one who bled red.How could he leave?
"No, no, no," Azim whispered, clenching the phone to his chest as though that would stop time. "I would do anything—anything—to stop this."
The lights in the room flickered. A low hum grew in his ears. His muscles tensed involuntarily.
"What the hell—"
Then everything went black.
Like a blackout in his soul.
Silence.
Azim opened his eyes.
There was no bed. No room. No sound of rain. Only pitch-black nothingness around him. He floated, weightless, like a single thought adrift in the void.
"Neural calibration: complete.""Dimensional relocation: successful."
The voice came suddenly. Synthetic. Calm. Deep. Yet somehow… familiar.
Azim jerked upright—but there was no floor, no gravity. "W-what? Who said that?"
"You are now synchronized with the INTELLIGENT SYSTEM—designation: IS."
Light erupted in front of him. A heads-up display bloomed like a galaxy unfolding. Rows of windows. Spinning icons. Circular diagrams with glowing parameters. Then—
[SELECT CAREER PATH][Athlete][Scientist][Politician][Soldier][Civilian]
His brain fought to understand. "This… this isn't real. I must be dreaming…"
"You asked for a chance to change things. The Intelligent System has responded. Welcome to your new timeline. Date: January 5, 2015. Age: 18. Identity Integration complete. Current affiliation: Liverpool FC Youth Academy."
Azim gasped. "What?!"
His body felt… different. Slimmer. Stronger. Younger. Was this… him? From 10 years ago? And Liverpool?
"This… is real?"
"Please select your primary profession."
He hesitated for a heartbeat. Then instinct took over. His finger moved to [Athlete]. Another menu opened.
[Select Sport][Basketball][Tennis][eSports][Football]
"Obviously." He tapped Football.
[Select Position][Goalkeeper][Defender][Midfielder][Striker]
A slow smile spread on Azim's face. Striker. The dream he'd buried long ago.
He tapped it.
"Access Granted. Full Profession & Life Functions Unlocked."
Then, the HUD expanded and glowed brilliantly. One by one, systems activated. This time, no more summaries—the full system unfolded, exactly as it was written in destiny…

After Azim reading the functions, the glowing HUD pulsed brighter. The world faded around him again, but this time—he did not wake up.
Instead, he stood inside a vast, hyper-digital command center within his mind.
"Welcome to the Core."
The ground beneath him was a glass-like hexagonal surface. All around floated transparent data modules, glowing diagrams, and 3D holograms of stadiums, football pitches, and player models in motion. It was like walking through the neural map of a supercomputer—except he was the core.
"You have entered the IS Core Control Room. Time is paused. This is your personal training and configuration space. Welcome, Abdul Azim."
He turned slowly, in awe. "This… is mine?"
"All systems are now bound to your cognitive architecture. You may explore tactical functions, visual modules, cyber tools, and personal enhancements before entering reality."
Two main icons hovered in front of him:
Output Trajectory (Green-Yellow-Red)
Input Trajectory (Blue)
Azim tapped Output Trajectory.
A floating screen opened. A striker-version of himself ran with the ball. The system showed:
Three glowing curved shot lines:
Green = top corner, 93% chance
Yellow = low shot, 68%
Red = blocked, 24%
"Output Trajectory Visualization shows your best shot/pass paths. Factors include physics, angle, power, defender positions, and keeper anticipation."
He nodded. "It's like seeing FIFA percentage bars… in real life."
Then he tapped Input Trajectory.
Immediately, another simulation started. A ball dropped from 25 meters. The system showed a blue path predicting:
- Speed
- Bounce height
- Curve angle
- Optimal interception point
A glowing line guided his virtual self toward a perfect chest trap.
"Input Trajectory Prediction lets you react before the ball reaches you. Long balls, rebounds, deflections—everything tracked."
Azim grinned. "No more miscontrols. No more blind runs."
He turned to the next icon: Player Movement Tracking.The pitch reset—this time, with simulated defenders swarming around him.
Gray silhouettes moved like ghosts.Above each defender: small icons showed stamina, intent (press, contain, delay), and probability of next action.
Azim raised a brow. "It's like… I can read them."
"You will anticipate their movements before they happen. Each opponent will appear as a probability model. You'll know where they'll be 0.5 seconds in advance."
He smirked. "That's unfair."
"That's football evolution."
Another icon pulsed: Fatigue Management.
A full-body 3D scan of Azim floated above a tactical desk. Red-yellow-green overlays displayed muscle stress, heart rate, and hydration levels.
"You will monitor your fatigue in real time. The system will guide your pacing, sprints, and recovery. Exhaustion will become a weapon—not a weakness."
Azim raised his hands to his face. "I can't believe this…"
"Would you like to preview your enhancements?"
"Yes."
The pitch cleared. Then—
Boom.
A clone of Azim sprinted down the wing. The speed was… inhuman. His feet left trails like a jet engine. He cut inside and leapt—six feet off the ground—and slammed a header into the top corner.
Stats displayed beside him:
Max Sprint Speed: 70 km/h
Reaction Time: 50 milliseconds
Tactical Cognition: 5x average human
Stamina Efficiency: Peak performance for 180 mins
Agility Index: 200% over elite pro average
Azim took a step back, overwhelmed.
"This… this is a cheat code."
"This is your second chance."
Next up, Azim saw a module labeled Camera System. He tapped it.
"Initializing Visual Playback."
A glowing stadium formed. The system replayed a 3v3 training drill using multi-angle replay:
First-Person Cam (Azim's view)
Drone Cam floating over the pitch
Goal-Line Cam
Free-Cam, which Azim could move anywhere
He watched himself receive the ball, spin past a defender, and score—all in third-person slow motion.
"All training sessions and matches will be automatically recorded in multiple views. Highlight builder included."
Azim blinked. "I… I can study myself. Fix errors. Show people what I can do…"
He turned toward the glowing Cyber Access panel.
"Integrated cyber toolset includes secure browsing, document creation, password management, and limited-level hacking."
Azim raised a brow. "Hacking?"
"Non-malicious access only. Search club archives, scout reports, financial docs, training schedules. Surveillance systems optional under strict conditions."
"Show me Liverpool's internal database."
"Accessing…"
A burst of files appeared—scouting reports, performance metrics, even training intensity logs.
Azim scanned the data.
Curtis Jones – Tactical Rating: 75Joe Hardy – Finishing Under Pressure: 61Azim – N/A
He whispered, "They haven't evaluated me yet…"
"IS. Search: 'Jürgen Klopp 2015'"
"Search complete."
A profile opened:
Ex-Borussia Dortmund manager.
Tactical philosophy: gegenpressing, high-line transitions.
Currently on sabbatical.
Azim's heart thudded.
"…He hasn't joined yet."
He opened the IS match replay, fast-forwarded to his best moments in training.
He stood silently. "Can I send this… to Klopp?"
"Yes. Video compression, email formatting, and routing protocols available."
Azim's fingers hovered in the air. He imagined it—
Subject: Future Striker.Message: "You're coming to Liverpool soon. I want you to know, I'm already here."
But he paused.
"…Not yet. Not until I prove I belong here."
"Understood. Draft saved for future dispatch."
Then, he noticed an isolated group of icons in a white frame: Daily Life Functions.
He explored them curiously:
Cognitive Management System: Schedules, learning, strategy modules.
Public Interaction Assistance: Helps with interviews, media training, negotiation.
Speech Converter: For clarity in high-pressure moments and can be used as auto-translate.
Nutrition & Sleep Optimization: Tailored diet plans, perfect recovery cycles.
"Wait… you can manage my life, too?"
"Affirmative. You are not just a footballer. You are a brand, a legacy. IS ensures you master every aspect."
Azim stepped forward, heart pounding now with excitement.
A final window appeared:
Finalize IS Integration? All future actions will affect history.Yes / No
Azim closed his eyes. He remembered 2025—the heartbreak, he need to change this club first. This… was his only chance to rewrite everything.
He tapped YES.
The interface shattered into fragments of light. Data streamed into his body like stardust.
"Integration complete. Transferring to physical world in 3…""2…""1…"
The IS Core faded into light.
