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."

Time seemed to slow down as the name hung between them, reverberating across the terrace with weight that felt impossible.


The Mask's voice continued ringing inside Damian's skull, sharp and furious.


"I SPECIFICALLY TOLD YOU TO NOT REVEAL ANYTHING!"


The words hit like hammer blows, each one carrying weight that made his mental defenses wince.


"Do you have any idea what you've just done?! If your father recognizes you, if he connects the dots with everything you've told him–"


The Mask's presence expanded, filling his consciousness with pressure that made thinking difficult.


"It's OVER! The timeline fractures! The paradox collapses inward! Everything that should happen tonight gets rewritten!"


Damian's thoughts scattered, his mind struggling to form coherent responses through the alcohol's haze and rising panic.


His hand remained frozen on his glass, his body locked in place.
