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.**

The team bus rolled toward Turf Moor with Burnley supporters already pressed three deep against the barriers, and the moment it slowed near the players' entrance the shouting started before the doors had even opened.


Camera flashes went off in clusters as the squad filed down the steps, reporters angling microphones over the barrier tape, throwing questions faster than anyone could answer them.


"Demien, can you replicate Munich in the Premier League?"


"What are the odds on a hat trick today, Demien?"


"Is this the real test now, after Bayern?"


"What do you think of Mateo Salvatierra?"


That one floated past without an answer. Demien didn't even turn his head toward it.


Then another voice cut through closer to the barrier, phone already held out. "Demien — Salvatierra called you a good player yesterday. What do you think of that statement?"
