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."

The Domain had taken that burden and transformed it into something that could be used rather than something that would destroy him.


He found a container in the kitchen and carefully collected the ashes, his movements gentle and respectful.


Anyone would feel joy about developing a Domain, achieving something that marks true advancement in power.


'I only feel tired… and determined to never let this happen again.'


He made a silent promise to himself, staring at the container of ashes.


'Think about every consequence before making decisions. Consider all angles. Protect not just the people who follow me, but everyone they care about.


And… Never underestimate the cruelty of enemies again.'


Kuro moved closer, his concern evident in every movement.


Damian stroked the raven's feathers gently.


"Thank you for your hard work tonight. You pushed yourself beyond your limits for me. Rest now... You've earned it."
