David Drinkwater lived his entire career as football's biggest joke.

Thirty seven years old, rejected by every major club, and called a "club whore" by fans across Europe, but at Wembley Stadium, in the rain, he finally proved them wrong.

Championship playoff final between Millwall and Norwich, and in the 90th minute, he scored the winning goal, then he died.

**[Ding. Ding.]**
**「Host found: David Drinkwater.」**
**「Synchronisation complete.」**

He opens his eyes in an eighteen year old body.

Demien Walter, a failed Fiorentina academy prospect and suicide attempt survivor with an overall rating of 48, no team, and no future, but David brought something impossible with him.

**[Ding.]**
**「Ultimate Gacha System activated.」**
**「Mission: Rise from nothing. Become the greatest footballer in history.」**

Training earns points while matches earn rewards, and achievements unlock legendary packs.

Every pack opening could change everything, whether through common stat boosts, rare techniques, or epic abilities, yet there's always the ultimate prize.

**[Ding.]**
**「Diamond Pack opened.」**
**「Congratulations. Andrea Pirlo — Regista Vision obtained. Passing +15. Vision +10. Legendary Trait unlocked: Deep-Lying Playmaker.」**

From trialist to conquering the football world, every pack, every point, and every impossible moment building toward football immortality.

They called him a failure once, and they called him wasted potential, but now, with forty years of wisdom in an eighteen year old body and a system that rewards every drop of sweat with power, David will rewrite football history.

One pack at a time.

**Some dreams get a second chance, and some legends get a second life, so this is his.**

"Excellent reading from Walter," the commentator noted. "Doesn't dive in, doesn't gamble. Just times the step perfectly and wins the ball cleanly. That's improved anticipation rather than aggressive tackling."


The tempo shifted gradually as Atalanta began pushing higher up the pitch and forcing Fiorentina to defend deeper, and the crowd's noise changed from sustained support to reactive responses based on immediate danger because their team was no longer controlling possession as comfortably as they had in the first half.


Demien began dictating rhythm more effectively—dropping just deep enough to receive passes from De Roon without being immediately pressed, then turning to face forward and driving into space that Fiorentina's midfield couldn't close quickly enough because they were adjusting to Atalanta's improved positioning.
