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."

Darius's expression shifted, concern bleeding through the curiosity.


His head shook slowly, the movement gentle.


"I understand now. You must have been involved in some kind of battle that damaged your mind."


His tone became softer, losing the playful edges.


"Don't worry, little guy. Uncle Murdock will be here tonight, he'll be able to fix whatever went wrong with your memories."


He paused, his crimson eyes tracking across Damian's trembling form.


A slight smile returned, gentler than before.


Damian's vision fractured, the terrace around him becoming distant and strange, like he was watching everything through water.


The thought formed incomplete, his consciousness struggling to process the implications.


The realization settled like ice in his chest, refusing to melt or fade.
