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 four A rank officers – Hank Webb, David Park, Jennifer Liu, and Sarah Doss – stood frozen not by Domains this time, but by pure primal terror.


Warren James's face was showing the look of someone in shock as looked at the new arrivals.


Ashley remained kneeling, her mind racing through options and finding nothing but dead ends.


The four officers looked at each other, then at Ezra, then at the senior SFD Officer


Hank Webb's voice cracked, all professional composure shattered.


"We were following orders! We didn't know! Please, Arch-Inquisitor, you have authority here! You can stop this!"


David Park fell to his knees, his pride abandoned completely.


"I have a family! Children! Please, we were just doing our jobs! We didn't mean to–"


"We'll resign!" Jennifer Liu interrupted, desperation making her voice shrill. "Right now! We'll leave SFD and never work in law enforcement again! Just please–"


Sarah Doss looked at Herman and Ezra, her eyes showing wild hope.
