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."

The warning flashed across his status screen.


He abandoned all skills except Self-Healing, his Aura channeling solely into recovery, nothing wasted on attacks or defenses or fancy skills.


His stats began degrading, mental attributes dropping as the warning predicted.


But he was still aware, still conscious and still capable of directed thought.


So he used that remaining awareness to prioritize.


Kill the creatures breaking through formation first, protect the weaker students and clear the path forward.


He went on a killing and eating spree, his movements becoming more brutal, more savage, more animalistic with each bite.


Creatures lunged at him, he lunged back.


They clawed, he ripped their limbs off and used them as weapons.
