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."

"Alessio. Gather everyone. All the children from all eight orphanages alongside all the caretakers… I need to speak with them."


"Just do it. Find a large enough venue and get it done within three hours."


Alessio didn't question further, just pulled out his communication device and started issuing orders with the authority of someone much more responsible.


[Three Hours Later - Community Hall - Outer Region]


The massive hall had been constructed months ago as part of the Mafia's infrastructure development, designed to host large gatherings.


Now… it held eight thousand children and their caretakers, the space filled with nervous energy and curiosity.


There was bustling and noise everywhere!


Mike had been characteristically prepared, arranging a full banquet spread along the walls – enough food to feed everyone present with leftovers.


The Mafia's core members stood along the sides.
