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."

[ACC Official Forum - World Championship Discussion]


The Academy Council Committee's official forum had millions of active users discussing the upcoming World Championship Tournament.


@TournamentFan47: "Every year the tournament decides Academy rankings and resource distribution. This year is going to be INSANE with all the changes at Stormhold."


@NobleSupporter: "Nobles always dominate the tournament. This year will be no different. Individual talent matters more than policy changes."


@DamianFanboy: "If Damian was second or third year, Stormhold would absolutely destroy everyone. But he's only first year. Not enough time to develop."


@RealistAnalyst: "Every Academy's Student Council has fourth-year students. All highly talented and experienced. Stormhold isn't significantly stronger than the others despite their reputation."
