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.**

Argentina controlled possession from the opening whistle, and their shape was clear immediately—patient circulation designed to pull France narrow before switching play wide.


Demien watched Messi drop into space between France's midfield and defensive lines in the fourteenth minute, and the center-back stepped up to close him down while leaving a gap behind.


Demien watched without speaking while Sophia glanced at him briefly.


The ball moved wide and then back inside, and Argentina's movement patterns created overloads on one side before switching play to exploit the space on the other, and France struggled to match the tempo without committing too many players forward.


Di María received the ball on the left side of Argentina's attacking third and drove toward the byline, and Dembélé tracked him while staying goal-side, and when Di María cut inside suddenly the contact came late—not violent but enough to unbalance him.
