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 Stadium - Outdoor Balcony - Night]


Damian led Elizabeth through corridors and out onto a secluded balcony overlooking the Capitol skyline, the city lights spreading like stars across the horizon.


Elizabeth was muttering continuously, her voice breaking with anger and frustration.


"This is completely unfair! Outrageous! We should raise this issue formally! Lodge complaints with every committee! They can't just change rules at the last moment! They can't just–"


Tears were visible in her eyes, her composure completely shattered. She felt wronged.


Damian just looked at her calmly, a small smile on his face.


"Damian, why are you smiling?! Aren't you angry at that old fool?! I can complain to my family! If others are using Imperial influence, I can use mine too! We can fight this politically!"


Damian's voice was calm, cutting through her rant.
