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."

Just as Damian was about to move toward the Nobles responsible for hurting Edrin and the others–


The crowd parted like a wave splitting before a ship.


Gareth strode through, his presence commanding immediate attention. Behind him came the rest of the Student Council – Elizabeth, Liam, Arielle, and the others.


Elizabeth's face went deathly pale as she took in the scene before her.


Bloodied commoners scattered across the floor. Nobles standing smugly to the side. And in the center…


The third-year Disciplinary Committee member lay motionless on the ground, her face completely unrecognizable beneath layers of blood and grotesque swelling. A dark pool of crimson spread steadily beneath her head, staining the polished gymnasium floor.


Elizabeth's hands trembled at her sides.
