In the year 2350, Earth changed forever. Portals tore open across the skies, unleashing monstrosities no human had ever faced. But with the monsters came awakening – humans gained power, ranks, and a status screen that defined their place in the new world.

Two centuries later, power no longer belonged to politicians, but to the awakened.

Damian Valcor, a bored 15-year-old, only cared about passing the entrance exam for an academy. But on the eve of the results, his life was overturned when he awakened the memories of his past life.

A past life where he was not an ordinary man…
But a ruthless mafia boss.

To his shock, the world he now lived in was nearly identical to a novel he had once come across in his previous life.

Although he remembered the world, he didn’t remember any of the characters of that novel.

But he was sure of one thing. Damian Valcor was not one of the main characters.

He was just a random Extra.

With underworld cunning, ruthless ambition, and the knowledge of what lies in the future for this world, Damian must make sure to protect his loved ones, the loved ones he never had in his past life.

He will make sure to snuff out the existence of any being who dared to endanger them.

But for that… He needs to rise as the one pulling the strings. 

And to do that, he needed… Power.

"Power isn’t granted, it’s taken – and I’ve had a lifetime of practice."

Damian's eyes widened slightly, surprised by her aggressive stance and her choice of language.


"I'm not asking for your permission, Damian. I'm informing you that I will be attending Stormhold Academy. I will be training as a combatant. And I will be strong enough that you never have to worry about me being used against you."


"Now come outside and eat your dinner before it gets cold. Mother's been keeping it warm for you."


She left without waiting for a response, the door closing behind her with more force than necessary.


Damian sat alone in the training room, Kuro still on the floor beside him, both of them processing what had just happened.


Soon… a small smile crossed his face despite everything.


'She's grown up I guess. The gentle girl who needed protection doesn't exist anymore.


It's still terrifying to think about her in danger, but maybe... maybe she's right. Maybe I am underestimating her.'
