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."

Marshal Lysander Eckhart stood in front of the massive screen mounted on the war room's wall, his hands clasped behind his back.


The broadcast showed Damian's armored form walking through falling snow.


The thought came with relief that settled in his chest like stone.


'Against a Young Chief and an entire army, he actually survived and won.'


His eyes tracked Damian's retreating form.


Air displaced violently beside him as the Sage materialized, his masked face facing the same screen.


Lysander's voice came out flat and controlled.


The Sage said nothing for three heartbeats, his attention focused entirely on the broadcast.


Then his voice emerged, quiet but carrying weight.


"After seventeen years, another genius with more potential than you has finally appeared."


Lysander's expression remained carefully neutral, his eyes never leaving the screen.
