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."

[Television Studio - Late Night Coverage]


Noah Montague and Sarah Lin sat in their studio, the breaking news displayed behind them in bold letters.


[ELIZABETH MURDOCK BANNED FROM TOURNAMENT]


"In an unprecedented move, ACC President Eleanor has announced a new rule limiting tournament participation to students B+ rank and below. This effectively bans Stormhold's President Elizabeth Murdock, their strongest member."


Sarah shook her head, her expression grim.


"Combined with the earlier Council resignations, Stormhold is now fielding an entirely first-year team against the best fourth-years from across the Federation. Most analysts are calling this the greatest mismatch in tournament history."


"Current odds have Stormhold at 500-to-1 against winning. Most bookmakers aren't even accepting bets on them anymore. It's considered a guaranteed loss."
