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."

Luna's expression shifted, becoming more somber.


"My Perception has always been high. Even before awakening, I could sense things others couldn't. Probably a result of the Empath skill affecting me since young."


She paused, choosing her words carefully.


"The Will stat only became visible on my status screen after it crossed 100. I think... I think it's because I've been handling the side effects of this skill for years."


"Every emotion magnified a hundred times. Every surrounding feeling affecting me tenfold. Every single day, every single moment, with no way to turn it off."


"That builds mental strength whether you want it to or not. Either your mind adapts and gets stronger, or you break completely."


Damian stared at her, really seeing her for the first time in this context.


'It took me my past life memories, decades of Alessio's experiences with violence and survival, to reach 120 Will.'
