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."

Damian lay unconscious on the reinforced bed, white bandages wrapped around his right arm and left leg where the limbs had been reattached.


His chest rose and fell with steady rhythm, tubes and monitoring equipment humming quietly around him.


A short-haired middle-aged woman leaned over his bed, holding a camera in one hand while positioning herself for the perfect angle.


She checked the photo, her face lighting up with satisfaction.


'Mini is going to be so jealous when I show her these!'


Her daughter had posters of Damian Valcor covering her bedroom walls, news clippings about the Tranquil City attack carefully preserved in a scrapbook.


'Her idol is right here! And I'm the one treating him… Now he is even the youngest A rank in Federation history!'


She giggled quietly, angling for another shot.


As she was immersed in her thoughts, suddenly Damian's eyes opened and their gazes met.
